Starting to wonder why it’s even legal for me to just... do stuff without supervision.

Starting to wonder why it’s even legal for me to just... do stuff without supervision. Like, everything I do, I’m the person responsible for it. That can’t be right. It’s a recipe for disaster.
we used to laugh about things that said "requires adult supervision". not as funny when you start to accept that you are now adult supervision.

@ifixcoinops I bought a petrol chainsaw. From Tesco. Nobody tried to tell me this wasn't a good idea!
@greem @girlonthenet wait wtf a TESCO chainsaw? They sell chainsaws at Tesco's now?!
...was it a Tesco's Value chainsaw?

@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet see this bullshit? this driver license? this gives me authority to operate motor vehicles at speeds exceeding 100 kilometers *per hour*.
honestly what the fuck, I got tested once 30 years ago and it's just been "ohhh hey do this administrative thing every time you move across an arbitrary line on the map or 4 years pass"
@rey see this bullshit? this breeding license? this gives me authority to impregnate bottoms at speeds exceeding 100 pups *per hour*.

@girlonthenet I am feeling this so much right now
I think I'm supposed to call someone to look at the HVAC system for the season ... eventually

@rey @ifixcoinops cannot believe this is allowed. Someone should look into it, but who? I’m starting to think we’re all children all the way down
@girlonthenet @ifixcoinops I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
I'm 45

Every now and then the shock of adulthood hits me and I get this weird vertigo. Like I just realised I’m in a life boat adrift on an infinite ocean.
@girlonthenet one time they put me in a ROOM and I had to talk to a CLIENT and it was a big IMPORTANT thing and they expected ME to explain it! I’m 12!!!

@girlonthenet a question I still ask all the time, and I'm fifty-mumble.
Then I look at everyone else in charge and think well I'm not *that* useless.
anyway I've just done my nails for the weekends race, so I'm good.

@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet Nah, it was a McCulloch, which at the time were made by Husqvarna I think.

I’ve signed legal documents. I own a boiler. I turn up to work and pay my internet bill and set the dishwasher to go overnight. And no one even checks whether I’m doing any of those things properly.
@girlonthenet And then at some point you realize the retirement you're planning for is actually way closer than you ever thought it could be. (Twelve years for me, which was half a lifetime when I was a callow youth but now those years pass by disturbingly quickly and I still have no idea what the hell I'll do other than "move somewhere that isn't a car-dominated suburban hellscape".)

@girlonthenet I have a story about that table saw and my genitals if you'd like to either laugh or make the
face@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet table saws are fitted with ball masher bars like blokes' bikes?

@girlonthenet oh boy, don't even get me started...

@girlonthenet yeah. I got the same feeling when I got home from the hospital with my newborn daughter. I was like: "They let me bring home a newborn to care for. How irresponsible of them......now what?"
Things worked out though.

@girlonthenet don't worry, they're working very hard to build supervision into everything, so you'll never have to take responsibility for anything ever again. You won' even have to go to the trouble of voting. Won't that be nice. 🥳

@girlonthenet I bought a fucking TABLE SAW and nobody even asked me if I was sure
@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet table saws terrify me, especially the giant ones you can throw planks through.
I still have the scar from putting a tenon saw into my foot.

@wollman @girlonthenet having retired the other thing they forget to tell you is that the older you get the further a mile gets. You can plan to escape into the wilds and then get arthritis and not be able to walk far, or discover your bus pass is useless in ruraldom with 2 services a day and no shops, but easily lose your driving licence to something
