    Mate you’d be surprised.

    I knew a guy in the Police who said that Facebook was a gift because people are dumb.

    One guy posted publicly a photo with a couple kg of weed and flashing a pistol acting like a badman. The local police account commented under the post saying they’d like a word, guy responded “what you gonna do, arrest me?”, I think you can work out what happened next.

      One thing I’ve learned from parenting a teen is that if you suspect your child is doing something really stupid, there is a very good chance that there is photo or video evidence of it.

      Lot of kids out there under age drinking and taking videos of their shenanigans. Dumbasses.

            I can’t remember if it’s pseudoscience or actually validated (we’ll assume pseudo), but I’ve come across it many times: there’s a running commentary in psychological development that only 33% of humans ever reach mental maturity, true adulthood. The vast majority land at adolescence ans stay there, with some never getting much past 12. To me, this has been the single greatest explanation of why ppl behave the way they do, somewhat comforting at least
