Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

How did you become an adult? Any advice to impart? (hexbear.net)

How did you get your first job? Apartment/house? Dating?

I ask because I really only did so after years of bouncing around from colleges, summer abroad programs, living with friends, and really just use Zillow or StreetEasy to look.

(I also ask because I want a distraction from the world that isn't entertainment or documentary/non-fiction and often daydream about what things I could have done different had I known things - real life skills - earlier.)

I found a mechanical turk that granted wishes and told it to make me older. I do not recommend having the body of a mid 30 year old and the mind of a 13 year old. Ended up in a love affair with someone my age even though I was mentally a 13 year old. Left me messed up for a long time. I eventually stopped being old and went back to my normal age. If you want my advice, age normally, don't wish for adulthood on a mechanical turk.
