      Yup places will just ask for my date of birth now, if they even bother to do that at all.

        I’m 37 and have a long beard. I agree the bears helps convincing I’m old enough. But I remember I was offended I got asked my ID all the time. “Do I really look that young? When are people going to take me seriously as an adult!” Now that I’m never asked anymore, I feel old.

    There are people born after 9/11 that can now legally drink. By Christmas, there will be people born after The Return of King was released that can drink.

    It’s not depressing necessarily to get old, but it’s definitely depressing to keep thinking in old ways even as the world changes, i.e., “if we just support the demokkkrats THIS time, everything will definitely get better at some vague point in the future!” I used to be a liberal but I stopped thinking like this when I started asking why demokkkrats hate the concept of universal health care (answer: they are just the liberal side of the capitalist coin, the republicans are the fascist side).
