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
After doing research on solutions I found that many people benefit from volunteering and joining groups.
The ability to look into other people’s needs and glean some joy from solving social issues is usually overlooked by modern society.
Also, people with religions tend to take delivery of life’s goals. They accept the social bindings that find them.
Allow people to seek you out, and take intrigue and curiosity from what is happening. Obey the social contract and get beyond the niceties of not really accepting people into your life.
If you’re surrounded by streets full of bums you could see it as your challenge to work with them, rally against their terrible choices, or escape them.
Experiment with meaning. Take them all out for lunch. Throw a street party for them. Hire a bus and take them somewhere. Teach them how to live again.
Accept your reality and it might accept you back!
Where’s omni food pong?
Mince dishes and BBQs absolutely reek!
The user base already incorporates enshittification. Watching who immediately picked it up was enough of a deterrent for me.
Isn’t that the monetization crowd from Twitter?
Electorates per capita work better because they give the population of a country an equal amount of electable government. Positioning them as just Californians makes them a lower class citizen of the United States with lesser representation.
It also means that criminals will recognise the power of the Republican states and side with them for effect.
Antigravity looked like the clear favourite for scientists, but then they all went into astronomy and the age of the universe.
A blonde walks into a bar and says ouch A priest walks into a bar and says hallelujah A con walks behind the bar and says this is familiar A teetotaler walks into a bar and notices the stench Another blonde walks into a bar being polished and says “Hawk Tuah, you gotta spit on dat thing”
This is my image of Trump. I honestly can’t see what people see in him.
If it were up to me not a single car in the world would pick him up for any reason. People would just ghost him.
If there isn’t a machine to do it then maybe there’s a quick product fix, or we get contractors. For a manual labour intensive industry it’s amazing to see the lengths a lot of men will go to to avoid actual manual tasks.
Doesn’t it have direct parallels among many billionaires?
They would add more years if they could, obviously. Kinda reminiscent of mediaeval people digging up dirtbags to put them on trial again. When you hate someone …
Marcius Coinus?
Phone companies are probably better off without Microsoft helping.
Well, as I’m a skipper I’ll try this again. A skipper or captain doesn’t have to be at the helm. They can competently do their job with any member of the crew at the helm. On larger vessels it’s another matter, but it still doesn’t require the captain to be in driver control. Do you understand yet?
Why’s the time relevant? Did it go stale?
I’ve never been a customer, and I never will.
There’s always CEOs
