    Sewing

    You’ll save yourself so much money and time mending clothes, blankets, and doing your own mods instead of buying new things.

        Ok, stupid story but when I was little I asked my mom for a PBnJ and she said she was busy and asked one of her friends to do it. I never met the guy and I don’t think I ever saw him again but he said, “alright” and we went to the kitchen. Dude started out solid. Two slices, spread on the peanut butter like a pro. What came next changed me forever. Dude pulls out the jelly and spreads it right on top of the peanut butter. I’m almost glad I never saw this guy again, straight psycho. Sandwich was 4/5 not life changing but good.

          Um. I mean, what did you expect him to do differently? A PBnJ is peanut butter and jelly on bread, so I don’t understand why the dude adding the jelly was upsetting.

          Was there some particular way your mom usually made them that was different from what this dude did?

          I’m really struggling to picture what was disturbing in this picture :(

    Meditation. It helps with self-control, emotional regulation, stress, and builds discipline. Screen addiction is real, and meditation helps.

    If you are in the US… Learn how to drive already. The vast majority of adults are going to drive every day, and most of those are going to drive at least twice a day. The degree of competency in driving seems to fall to a new low every year.

    Signals - Use them. If you don’t have time to check, signal, check, maneuver, then you don’t have time to make that turn/lane change. If you don’t signal, you’re not driving, you’re just fucking around in a 2 ton death machine.

    Distracted driving - it’s a myth. You’re either driving, or you are fucking around in a 2 ton death machine.

    Turning from wrong lane/driving across onramp shoulder - know where where the fuck you are, and if you make a wrong turn, don’t endanger your life, your passengers lives, and every else’s on the road. A good driver rarely misses their turn, a bad driver never misses their turn. If you are cutting people off to make your ramp or turn, you’re not driving, you’re fucking around in a 2 ton death machine.

    Frankly, I’m of the opinion that speeding should not be a primary offense. If the road is clear and some dude checking his lanes, using signals and paying attention to the road wants to drive 110 on the freeway, let him. They’ve never almost killed me, but idiots in cars fucking around on the road like they are the only people on the road nearly cause me an accident almost every day I drive now. I rarely get through the day without using my horn to wake up some jackass about to kill someone, and those people should get pulled over, fined, and have their behavior corrected.

    Edit: Also automatic lights were a mistake and they should be banned.

    Computers.

    We have them around us every day. We carry them in our pockets every day. Our lives and all of society relies on them. People have been growing up with them, and can’t imagine a life without them.

    So imagine my distress at how everyone is so incredibly tech illiterate.

      Serious question. What’s with those fucking bait shops in the seedy parts of town. What the fuck is going on in there. Do they sell like baits that will catch magical fish but you have to like make a deal with the devil?
