Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
My gf’s mom got disney plus. Pretty nostalgic looking at all the movies posters, but doubt many of them hold up. There is a imagineering docuseries on how they design, plan, and engineer all the parks. Also hint at how much of a dick walter d could be.
It's 2033 on the Iranian Border. We have been on the line for 117 days, and have been promised that our FOB is to be reinforced within the day with a fresh-out platoon.
As I struggle to keep my eyes open, knowing Hadji is out there and could strike at any time, I hear a noise in the distance. I cover the illumination of my watch and see it is the estimated time of the reinforcement convoy.
As the noise draws closer, I am horrified to hear a melodic cacophony over the howling of ancient sands.
"Let it go. LET IT GOOOOO!"
I sprint from my post to open the vehicle barrier, ready to berate the new arrivals on their failure to adhere to noise discipline. I am instead greeted by pimply manchildren decked out in "Han shot first" t-shirts; the only uniform item is the soy gape plastered on every face.
Horrified at the standard of replacement, I ask what in the name of Uncle Mickey have I been sent.
"Hey dude fuck you, this hobby is VALID! You're being a total KYLO right now!"
Sometimes I bolt awake; I dream we might lose this war.
Idea: marvel does a surprise midnight (so no kids) release of avengers 7 or whatever and as soon as they walk in the “theatre” door, they’re pushed into the back of a humvee en route to Iran
I had friends i went to see the Force Awakens with. These people decided to berate me and force me to wear a SW sweatshirt to the showing because i didn't "look nerd enough." or whatever.
Bitch, I've memorized every single line of the prequel trilogy (which I proved to them while we binged SW). I've spent an embarassing amount of my childhood reading wookiepedia pages. But i'm not the kind of person who feels the need to broadcast to the world that i like SW by turning myself into a walking billboard. I find that shit cringy.

I was hoping for more comments starting with "To be fair", and "I mean" as all the weak willed cowards struggle to defend themselves.
