You already admitted your title sucked, but your title alone is worthy of a ban imo. Idk about permanent if you're willing to to take some criticism, but writing off the rest of your post as going "I guess the title was a little inflammatory" tells me you're more interested in justifying your pov.

Anime is literally just Japanese cartoons. Comes in all varieties. Just demonstrates the speakers ignorance. Lots of them in this comment section

You're being downvoted because your question makes no sense. Both NYC and New York State are mentioned, so what are you even asking for clarification on?

Deeply unserious

Enforcement agencies, vague talk about legalization, makes more sense, now we're getting somewhere. Hope you're able to find your way to a better career path. Lots of people partake in activities that others don't approve of. I don't think that means we should enforce our will on others. I personally think Christianity is a cult that primarily recruits through the indoctrination of children, but I'm also a fan of religious freedom. Condolences on your loss.

Ok fair point. Though I'll say in my experience I don't see people being weird out by 33/40 or even 33/51 in most cases. It's almost always with someone in their early 20s and it comes off weird when you know that the brain isn't even finished developing until years later. I think once someone reaches around 25-30 then they are truly considered "adult" in a more broad social sense.

Common complaint from people is that we send "kids" to war, but obviously most don't. We just know that's it's fucked up to make young people 18- early 20s make life altering decisions.

You ever read Fahrenheit 451? It's just a decent read imo, but it has a few gems worth mentioning. In case you're unfamiliar, it follows the story of a man (named Guy) who lives in a future version of America where books have been outlawed.

Guy meets a former English professor and begins to read in secret. In one of their meetings, the English professor tries to get Guy to talk about what he's thinking, but Guy is being timid in sharing his thoughts. The professor then says this

You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.

To hide your ideas this way is to live in a bubble, and you cannot grow your mind this way.

I've seen like 5 comments where you refuse to expand on your views. This is a formal invitation to bring your opinion to the marketplace of ideas and have it sorted out.
