Fortunately, woodland creatures don't hire lawyers

  • I'm with the other commentator - you sound young. Nothing wrong with that, but our brains don't fully form until 27.

    When I turned 27, the pop of me pulling my head out of my ass was heard by rural farmers in India. I'm now 40, and I wish I knew now what I knew then, so badly.

    This is a very long winded way to say, don't paint yourself into a corner with dislike of formal education. Figure out what it's about it that you don't like and work to find a way to address or at least cope with it. Online courses are fine to learn things but they aren't widely recognized by employers, should you wish to work.

    One of the things I learned and pass on to my mentees is that it's often the experience we don't like that's the most valuable. That doesn't mean suffer unnecessarily, but if you are in a tough spot learn what you can from it. In my case, I hated working with contactors, but that work is what got me a much better job where I'm home all the time.

    Think about the best version of yourself and what that looks like. What are the major goals you need to meet to get there? What are those goals broken down into? How do you know if you met your smaller goals? Your objective (best version) is met though sequential steps and measurable progress

  • You: but, what if we were just like REALLY good friends? Put that away please.

  • The thirst is real, and with here it isn't about hydration

  • I suppose, but I also smell subsoil for the presence of hydrocarbons, soo...

  • Not just archies, like another commentator points out, but Geo's and pedologists too

    In soil science we sometimes put soil in our mouth to determine between silt and clay or silt and fine sand

    Is there a doctor aboard?

  • My mom guilts me over not maintaining a better relationship with my brother, but he will never ever call or text first, despite the fact we used to be really close.

    She wants us to have that again, but we are both adults now and my duty of looking out for my kid brother is done. He can make his own choices and I'm always happy to talk to him.

    It'sa me!

  • I cut weight all last year. Went from 203 lb to 181 lbs at my leanest, while training hard. I was obsessive about it. After 9 month I started stalling hard. I hung on for 2 more months and then quit because it was almost Christmas.

    I tried to start the cut again but it was too mentally grueling for me. I crept back up to 195 and now I'm just maintaining until I don't have a visceral reaction to the idea of a cut again.

    I definitely gained some muscle during the process, and don't look as soft when I started but still a bit discouraging.

    Also it's nuts how your body can hold 2-5 lbs of carb reserves

  • Particularly for trans people, unfortunately.

  • Mine are darker green, but I was also blind as a bat before I paid someone in an dark alley in the used hubcap district to hold me down and shine a laser pointer at my retinas.

    I've had 20/20 ever since, but I was -4.75 and -5.5 before correction.
