If it’s any consolation, a lot of us don’t feel like adults
I remember I was asked by multiple people when I turned 18 how I felt. What I felt was that that was a weird question lol. It’s not like one day passing made me suddenly feel somehow different from the day before.
What’s the point then? I pay for a game that I’m not even playing just so, what, my numbers of “completed” games goes up?
I’m someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it’ll be done, without me seeing a single scene.
Kinda same. One time in primary school when I got a book from the school’s library, I had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the bus station after classes, and I remember being disappointed that this meant I couldn’t continue the book for those 10 minutes. I also had a children’s encyclopedia back then with all sorts of topics from astronomy to history to technology, that I read several times.
Granted, I was never necessarily all in on reading. I would be split between that and gaming or TV as well. But compare that to today, after school managed to kill reading for me, and now I don’t really read, and just play games or watch anime instead.
Personally, as a European, I would be pro this happening if Canada wants to join and the EU is willing to let them join.
I get that geographically it wouldn’t make much sense, but culture is also important. Geographically, Belarus for example should join the EU instead of Canada, but I think most of us can agree that Belarus should not.
