Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Y’all must not remember being children. I have my own money. I get to decide on my wardrobe and hair style without asking anyone. I watch what I want on tv. I organize my own time, I choose who gets to be in my life, I wear my pajamas whenever I want, I can buy age-restricted items.

Being an adult rules! The fact that I’ve done all the things my inner child wanted to do and then stopped because I realized I can do EVEN BETTER rules so hard I can barely express it.

Exactly. Being an adult is awesome. Skill issue for the OP.

Told my goddaughter that were just big kids who take care of stuff. She giggled because I'm silly.

The much healthier way to see things, and I’m happy can see that now.

Took me until nearly 31 years old when I was cuddling my rescue kitty one night and realized that 20 years ago my mom felt the way I felt right then.

Yeah but your mom had you, instead of your kitty…

Take that as you wish 😂

People can't hit you when you're an adult, and if they do you can do more about it.

Oh cool are you telling me i'm free to punch children?
That'll come in handy next time i'm at a restaurant

I think a real answer would be "the world becomes much more complex, interesting, and uncertain."

I wouldn't call it depressing. It simply is.

"Hm, good question, what do you think it's like?" is still way better than no response at all, the poor kid.

I can choose the job I have - even if it takes time or effort or might be scary, I'm not forced to go somewhere where I am bullied, demeaned, and punished every day.

I can choose where I live. Changing where I live might take time or effort or be scary, but I'm not forced to live where it is unbearably hot and humid, where the only way to get anywhere is by driving a car, or where the only thing people listen to is trashy pop country.

I can choose what I do for fun. There are infinite options, and it might take time or effort or be scary to try something new - but I have options other than staring at a tv screen or walking in the hot sun past row after row of identical, boring houses.

I can choose what I eat. There are lots of options, and sometimes I need to exercise a little self control. But I'm not forced to eat nothing but processed junk food and soda that makes me sick, fat, and depressed.

I can choose who my friends are. Going out and making new friends can take time and effort, and sometimes it"s scary - but I'm not restricted to meeting people only because the constrained circumstances of my life dictate it.

Being an adult can be frustrating, hard, and scary sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. Sometimes I feel like my dreams are impossible. Sometimes I feel like I just can't handle it as misfortune after misfortune pile up on my back. But I love being an adult, because I'm free. I'm free to fail, and free to succeed. Free to explore, and meet people, and try new things. Free to keep going, and try my damnedest to make a life worth living. And that makes me happy to be an adult.

Having the ability to work and buy any kind of cake whenever you want but at the same time not wanting to do either.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago

That definitely sounds depressing as fuck!

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

That’s worse
