Acquiescing while reading this, having never contributed to a project of any size and thinking I'm hot shit for having climbed to 4 kyu in Python on Codewars.
Shelly Kagan has the best reasoning about souls I've seen so far, he makes a pretty compelling case that we have no soul. I recommend this playlist to everyone, it's so good :
Doing things right the first time is certainly a tip I'll keep in mind. They probably would do a better job than me though, they are retirees having pretty much only cleaning and gardening as hobbies. And I'm not the best at both. Compared to my friends, I clean a lot, but compared to my close family, we're not in the same leagues. They are "dusting-the-fire-alarm" people.
You know what, didn't really think about this. I thought if I had to have professional help, it'd have to be a regular thing and it's not in my budget, but I'll look for that kind of service. I won't be able to tell my folks about it, but they won't know!
Yeah, thanks for that. I feel like I have a pretty high standard of cleanliness, after all I grew up with my parents, who are very nitpicky about it, but I never tell anyone I'm visiting that there is any problem with their own cleaning. Everyone has a life and their own responsibilities. I just wanted to see where the bar was for people.
Yeah, pretty much the same boat. Honestly I don't really want to invite them anymore because of it, but I can't shut my parents off. Maybe I could groom the cats ahead of holiday season lol.
Lol yeah, I only have two but wow is it hard to get every hair. I have a very dark couch in the basement, the textile on it makes it impossible to remove hair, I tried with sticky rollers and the red brush without success.
I get that. What is difficult for me is that I am the person in my family living closest to everyone. Plus, my parents, who are getting older, don't want to host anymore. I therefore became the de facto host without wanting to be one. But my family have such a high standard of cleaning that I find it difficult to have them over. For example, yesterday, they teased me about the fact that my bedside table was messy, in my own bedroom. I'm tired.
Calm down, buddy. Exxon's website tells us that they are trying to "achieve [their] 2030 emission-intensity reduction plans." You see, they are so keen to help the planet, they made up their own plans and will try to respect them. If that's not improving our environment, you're lost my dude 😎.
Oh I complety agree with everything you said, I'm just fascinated by the disparity in ability between people about this.
