"You look just like dad. And that's very disappointing."

Very little, I basically achieved everything 10 year old me wanted (own a house, work with my dad, have a house husband, own a car - I was a really boring 10 year old).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

But that's awesome! Having simpler dreams means you can actually achieve them! That's so much better than having dreams of stardom that results in disappointment and wasted life opportunities for 99.99999% of those people.

And also, your dreams sound like very meaningful things that make a great life!

That I stopped playing Zelda AND Pokémon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago

dude, youre still alive? congrats

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Why the fuck do you have so many kids?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

I went into nursing instead of astrophysics. Decided I wanted a job that would outlast the apocalypse.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

That my parents passed away.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

Life goes on past thirty five. I knew that was the case, but my plans and goals only went as far as then.

Kinda like when you graduate uni and you realize that there's still more stuff to do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Tossup between "You didn't join the military?" and "Why the hell do you want to sleep so much! You're an adult! You could be up at midnight!"

How amazing computer games look now.

I mean, I'm impressed now, on behalf of ten year old me I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

The fact that I work with IT with a niche skill set that is highly sought after in my industry. I was 10 in 1993, and at that point I didn't even know how to turn on a computer.

What I did use a lot, on the other hand, was my NES. And 10 year old me would probably make a jaw drop induced crater upon seeing the kind of games I can play nowadays. Hell, my brand new laptop is fancy on its own.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Fourth grade? I don’t think I really thought about my life 30 years later. Maybe finding out I have ADHD; I’m not hyperactive so not the kind really diagnosed in kids.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

That's I've been working 2 jobs for twenty years and am still married to this asshole who I am grey rocking so I can get through my 12 hour workdays.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

My dick didn't grow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Probably that I got charged by a deer in the middle of fucking nowhere on the tail end of a solo 150 mile gravel bike ride, Macguyvered that thing and rode home. That actually surprises me lol

I wasn't an athletic or tough kid by any stretch (smallest kid in class and asthma to top it off) so he'd probably get a kick out of me running ultras, biking through mud 150 miles at a time, ditching the car and running to work

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Imagining that you Macguyvered the DEER and rode IT home!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

I actually landed on the deer and it got up without kicking me, but in my thoroughly concussed state I thought the best course of action was to just make some huge stream of thought facebook post and basically narrate my ordeal lol

But yeah I had a rottweiler-sized bruise on the left side of my body, shit was gnarly. It was a long ass night

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

It was a tired story until OH DEER it wasn't anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Well I did write down that I was going to win a billion money and move to the moon. I have much less faith in gambling now though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

That I'm an atheist, probably. Living on the opposite side of the world is a close second.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

Same as you. I also fully expected to be overweight. Sort of still do expect that at some point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

Honestly, probably only that I like dogs more than cats now when it used to be the reverse.

My life has been crazy, in a mostly unpleasant but not entirely unpleasant way, but I don't think 10-year-old me would be surprised by any of those parts. It's the more mundane stuff that surprises.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

You are in accounting? Wtf? You can't even count.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

You got to touch a girl's boobies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

That I graduated high school, have a job, and changed my name. Instead of being locked away in a group home where I'm forced to stagnate at mentally 6 years old, and also punished for being mentally 6 instead of older.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

that all that studying and academic pressure had basically zero payoff other than at least im employed
