It's been 7+ years, guys. Hopefully the majority of us no longer know the woes of hiding our pot addictions, or jerking off in the 'rents basement (and/or pool house). Some of the old Totse hotties have goddamned kids now. Anyway, you guys know, whether you were 4, 14, or 40 seven years ago, what have you motley fucks learned in the past 7/10ths of a decade?

This. And just because people are "grown up" doesn't mean they have their shit together.
Gallows sums it up pretty well though.
I learned that I can be good at other professions than cooking (foundryman).
I learned that I am a loner, but still really need friends.
I learned that meth is the worst/best drug in the world, heroin previously occupied this slot.
I learned that I can sing and play guitar at the same time after all, it just needs to be a simple song that I have known for years.
I learned I can be a good manager and get good results from the people working under me, I just don't like doing it because being someones boss usually means you can't be their friend.
I learned that some people in my life I had always thought to be making better decisions than myself were actually making worse ones and denying their inner nature.
I learned I have been misspelling common words for the last 20 years.
I learned I cant live ghetto style anymore, it just sucks balls and I wonder why I romanticized the years I spent doing it.
I learned a healthy fear of death, not so much to make me timid, but enough to stop me from being reckless(most of the time)

"I learn, I think?"
Haha. For now grasshopper, for now.
You'll get to a point where shutting up only gets you into more and more trouble. There's a healthy balance. Shutting up is a good strategy for now and the next few years of your life though.
Exactly this. I've stopped doing stupid shit now, and whenever I have found myself doing something on the fringe then I've learned to shut the fuck up about it. No one needs to know what I'm doing.
But I have learned what it feels like to be lowest of the low and also top of the world.
That it's better to have a few good friends than loads of shit ones.
I've learned that I don't know dick about life.
I've learned to just fucking talk to people.
I've learned that if someone acts like a manipulative asshole, there is a 99% chance that they are and a 100% chance that you can't change them.
Furthermore, I've learned that you can't change anyone.
I've learned that amphetamines are evil.
I've learned to take education seriously.
I've learned that not having a surge protector is like not having a condom. Goddamn power surge fried my motherboard.
I've learned to not be such a damn snob. Some of the nicest people I've met are uneducated.
I've learned that most people are out for themselves and when you're in a relationship (whether romantic or platonic) with someone who really cares about you, do not fuck it up.
