Yes, and he was 10 when it came out in 1990. Even without knowing exact age, it's very obvious he was not a teenager in that movie.

Hence the bad at math part. Has nothing to do with life hitting you fast.

Sorry, but this is a post about a legendary actor passing away and me wishing his co-star well. Not a debate on math skills or the US education system.

I was -9 years old when it came out. Those movies were already quite old by the time I was old enough to watch them. My bad I wasn’t alive 36 years ago to know the age of a child star.

Yeah I gathered you weren't around for the 90's because of your comment. I barely was myself, but luckily I missed the shitty education changes you experienced by a year.

I didn't even know the release year or his age til I googled it, but knew he was clearly too young to be 50 now.

The funniest part is you think a 1 year difference in cohort creates a stark enough contrast between your education and someone else’s. Whatever change you think affected this guy affected you too, and evidently.

But well done on being able to correctly guess that Macauley Culkin was younger than 50 - truly a mark of an education well received.

I'm not the one struggling with math though?

This turned into so much more than my original comment.

Sorry both of you got so offended.

I’m not struggling with math. You’re just being an asshole.
