I'm 22, 23 next month. The reason you're being labeled as a child is the way you type. The vibes people are getting from your messages/posts do convey a pre-teen person. Tone down the exclamation points and capitalize the beginning of sentences. Emotion Faces should probably be reserved for chats with friends or family as on the internet they are tied to younger people. Here's a re-written version of your post as an example:
"Whenever I post or talk to people on an online forum or something, they think that I'm a child or child-like. But I'm not, I am a 20 y/o. It's fine if they think that, but I think it's disrespectful."
I'm gonna narrow this down to two categories because many foods could land on this list
Pizza: either Chicken Bacon Ranch or parmesan sauce pizza (also called Asiago). Recently discovered the latter and I honestly can't go back to red sauce
Chinese Food: Crispy Honey Chicken from my local Golden Rice restaurant. They're wildly old-school, drive thru with paper menus, a menu taped on the window and no modern drive thru. They used to be a dine-in location but last I knew they closed that part of the restaurant. They own my soul with their Crab Rangoons and once I tried the CHC, i never looked back
I recently bought some Red Wing safety boots and my GOD are they comfortable. Mom calls them "Shit-Kickers" and I will happily wear them in any weather for many years
I have two items I bought for my upcoming Aviation Maintenance training this December. A usb rechargeable flashlight and a 17-in-1 multitool, both which will come in mighty handy these next few years
