Most of the time you can fix your car yourself. Or build that shelf yourself. I ended up making my own bedframe after moving because I didn’t want to rent a UHaul, checking out tools from the Chicago Tool Library. Even if you think you don’t have the skills now, learning to do it will save you money in the future

anyone can do it , everyone should build their shelter, you can finance at Lowe’s, it’s good to get tiny cuts on your hands, you’ll end up with tools you didn’t have before, you’ll have something obvious to ask for help for, and in turn will get better at asking for help

This is what real pride in yourself feels like (I keep telling myself)

people often spend too much money on things they can make with patience, for example any single panel of wood used for any need like a shelf. u can pick up a peice of wood from loads of places and just varnish it/paint it however u want. dont fall for predatory consumerism !!!1 but carpentery

Wait in the line. Wait in the fucking line, talk to the cashier and make a joke. Hone your small talk. if we stop using the express checkouts they will shut em down. They’ll give the cashiers more hours, more demand and more money. it’ll result in them having more power. Talking shit about AI is easy but now it’s time to choose the people over the robots in person. In real life.

its really simple. You get a few lists: queue, completed, archived, paused. There‘s no “friends”, so no one will be able to see what you’re reading. There’s no “goals” so you can just read for fun, at the speed you want. Your reviews are for you and you alone. If you want to track what you want to read and what you’ve already read without feeling like you’re on social media, ItalicType is what you need.

I think a lot of kids grow up with largely friends of their same gender. That’s the problem. Heteronormativity and seperating the genders in every aspect of life. sports, activities, friend groups. We condition men (and women!) to begin othering the opposite sex from birth. When in doubt, ungender it.
