i miss when the law was trying to seem serious
23-19! 23-19!

I don’t see a call to fork(), so there’s clearly no child here.
bool isChild() {
pid_t result= fork()
return (result == 0)
}
Nope. The check should be in a while loop
def verify_age(u: User) -> bool:
return hasattr(u, "age") and u.age is not None
Unacceptable. All my friends are None
*to the tune of California Dreamin'*
Anything under 25 should be considered a child.
People over 65 should be banned from voting, driving, and accessing the internet
Just like a child.
Not everyone's brain degrades at the same rate.
True. Not every 12 year old is too dumb to vote.
Anyone > 65 should be considered senile until proven different. After all, it's not kids that get scammed out of their retirement funds.
That's not my opinion, but it might lead to changes.
Kids don't have retirement funds. If they did, and they had free access to them, they would definitely get scammed out of them.
That's pretty much what I wrote, just lacking the sarcasm.
There seems to be a real tendency to want to narrow the band of what a functioning adult is, centered right around whatever age the poster happens to be at.
The reason that 25 number came up is that's how old the cohort they were studying brain development got when their funding was cut. There's no reason to not believe brains continue developing all our lives, or that even if that study did find a "cut off point" that it would be the same from person to person.
sure, not like people under 25 need to work, pay rent, take care of their own finances and responsibilities, or anything. we’re all just kids living with our parents and when we turn 25, we magically become adults! oh, wait…
I just find the arbitrary line drawn at 18 to be ridiculous. So, the second you turn 18 you magically become an adult. OK.
And now it's time to judge societies that decide 16 means adult, or 20 means adult, or 25 means adult.
Was it the US that just decided for us that "18 means your adult"? Why should they get to decide that? Based on what criteria?
