  • There are various reasons people may treat you as if you’re younger. I would bet the primary reason is no matter how much you think you’ve grown up, those changes have to be seen outwardly for a while before people that knew you as a kid will accept it. It took until 24 or 25 before I felt people had stopped treating me with kid hands. Keep in mind as well that as people get older, younger people start blending together a bit and a 20 year old does not seem as mature from a 30-40’s perspective. It’s similar to how younger people often have a hard time telling apart old people’s ages and they all seem “old”. The final point I’d make is that swearing isn’t something all adults do and is not related to maturity. It can be a sign of familiarity between certain people though. Swearing around family members is either something that comes with time or never, really depends on your parents/relatives.

    Trying to push these issues in an “I’m a big boy now!” manner will generally backfire and get you treated young for longer, because it’s a very childish thing to do. I am not all-knowing so I don’t like giving absolute advice, but personally I think the best thing you can do is not worry so much about it and continue acting in a responsible manner. If you show yourself to be mature, others will realise and treat you as such. If they don’t then either you’re not as mature as you think or you should find someone who you can have a more level conversation with. It’s not so bad being young, anyway, “the grass is always greener” and you will miss it when people always look at you like an adult!






  • You didn’t list one of the main uses of a downvote: lowering the visibility of poorly made or unfitting content. If you believe that a post or comment does not contribute to or belong in the community or discussion, your only recourse in most places is to downvote. Yeah ideally mods would remove every such post but that ignores the fact they are few in number, often absent, and generally follow their rules to the letter instead of moderating on vibes.


  • Having recently switched from baremetal Ubuntu Jellyfin to Docker, use docker. With Docker I know exactly where Jellyfin is storing my data because I tell it where. This means I can move it and spin it up from any machine the same every time. Moving my files over from Ubuntu was painful because they store it in weird locations and it’s spread across the file system, plus my media mount locations are different. This would have not been a problem on Docker.

    It’s not the ‘one click’ solution some people claim, but the up front trouble is worth it for easier management, in my opinion.

    It bothered me how that account just made up names for the dogs if they thought it’d get more likes. Pretty sure they renamed “ethnic-sounding” names to bland ones like “John” as well. It’s quite possibly the least important thing on the planet but it still bothered me lol.
