  • “Change always comes too late” (Star Trek - Picard iirc)

    You need to account for digestion. Put your best efforts in, and provide the right situation for growth. Wait the appropriate amount of time, and then some.

    Think, grandparents say profound shit that doesn’t germinate with every grandchild until they’re long gone and then some. Not everyone is a timely learner.


  • Having moved like 50 times, and lost a few households of things I want back I endorse this message.

    Don’t do decluttering because it’s a fad if you’re not the type of person it suits. I work with hundreds of tools and it turns out they are essential in the course of my regular projects. Decluttering is always an experience in stupidity for me.

    That said, I don’t tend to buy useless crap because I hate retail environments both online and offline. Scrap is my go to because material costs tend to exceed my budget.

    Don’t hate your scrap resources for no good reason! Hate it because it’s low quality or something. Most things I clear are due to it being someone else’s wheelhouse or requiring funds I don’t normally have (at which point plans would change). Time in motion and other studies!





  • Same. I grew up rebuilding bicycles and skateboards. I made toys to go with my other toys.

    Fighting back against this nightmare world takes it out of me. People keep complaining about my tools and equipment because they think it’s some kind of compulsive disorder.

    Telling people I do repairs, innovations and inventions on the side sounds like a mental health crisis. They don’t see the brainwashing they’ve been put through as the problem.


  • Dating is hard. 9 out of 10 actual dates are strike outs for a second date. Upping your batting average requires you to be the ideal candidate where you are dating.

    Mastery of something has a 90% proficiency requirement. The odds stack up enough against a person to the point that any apathy at all might cause them to fail horribly.

    Life isn’t unfair as such. It’s between hard and impossible. You really need everyone on your team to make it all work.

    My advice would be to help those that will help you and never short them when it’s your shout. Remember names when you meet people, and don’t get distracted when you should be thinking about their lives. Every little interaction will be the light in your eyes and the magnetics in your charm. Start by lighting up your world and make people resonate when they’re around you. And travel a bit to meet people with added charm
