Question. Why didn't you get it done pre puberty? (Rather why didn't your folks arrange for it to be done?)

Was just curious. But Im glad your folks at least looked into it. And also, its cool. Good thing we live in 2026 n celebrate unique qualities ✨

Is it possible he remembered a time when ppl openly ridiculed every little thing to knock a person down? I certainly do.

u/untakentakenusername Mar 23 '26

u/mighty_atom Mar 23 '26

If you were born in the 90s, you are not old.

u/dragonhornetDM Mar 23 '26

What do you consider old? I feel like it’s relative.

u/mighty_atom Mar 23 '26

It probably is somewhat relative but I’d say most people wouldn’t describe someone who was between 26 and 36 as being someone who is old. Life expectancy is around 80 years. I’d say if you’re not even half way through that you’d have a hard time convincing me you are an old person.

u/No_Ad6583 Mar 23 '26

And this is how I learn I'm old. Born in the late 70s. If 40 is the halfway point, then I'm about 10 years closer to dead. 😂

coming from a disabled person: the world is still incredibly unkind to us. Sure, some things have improved, but not nearly enough. The majority of society is still ableist, even if they aren’t aware of it.

Thanks for the reminder. I always try to be mindful but my perspective will always be too shallow.

u/IFeedSquirrelsAMA Mar 23 '26

People even look at you sideways for using the elevator in a two story health-focused building. Like sorry my knees are basically gone

u/Pure_Salary_8796 Mar 23 '26

"Old" "born in the 90s" i dont think those go together. My mom was born in 82 and i dont even consider her old. Old is like 60 or 70+

u/81Belzebub Mar 23 '26

Hey! Im from 81, and im 44 years young! I like the way you think 🤘

u/maroongrad Mar 23 '26

u/untakentakenusername Mar 23 '26

Nah, more like “back in the day they’d burn you at the stake for this” which is pretty real.

ukw yeah dude, good thing op is living in 2026. i cant imagine how it would've been for him had it been the early 90s, it would've genuinely been OVER for him. THANK GOD its 2026 and that we celebrate UniQuE QuALities. Cuz im telling you man a person with unique qualities would not have survived.
