because i was 18, a freshman in college, and just got dumped. i was all down about it and a friend offered me one and i thought, fuck it, why not.
then i bummed another a few days later and so on. bought my own pack within a week.

indeed, lots of people make poor decisions regardless of age. but statistically speaking, 24 year olds have resources (experience, development) which increase their capacity to make better decisions.
someone at 24 has several more years of experience in the adult world. someone at 24 has several more years of neurological development (which isn’t complete until around 25). in other words, at 24 someone has better context for decision-making and better decision-making ability than someone who is 18.
… yes, my phoneless childhood was super dangerous. it’s amazing i survived a couple of decades without one!
yeah, honestly f this thread. i went from smiling to wondering why i bothered to even look at lemmy today. ☹️
there’s gotta be something nice to look at instead!
