Well yeah, and winning’s great if it’s theirs. Sorry I’m bad at explaining. It was my first attempt.

I meant that, given my disposition (competitive bitch, often lucky, won more than my share) I would’ve fought the kid’s battles too often, compounded my winnings into theirs, and failed to let them learn to fight for themselves, for others. I’d have created the privileged rivals of my youth instead of helping other’s children succeed. I think.

E: they’d be no more than primary school age today, so maybe I’d have grown up enough in time to fix my mistakes. Just seems like a gamble when a child deserves better.

Haha exactly! That would’ve been my mistake. Helping them trounce other kids would’ve felt natural, much easier than helping them become a better person.

No joke, it’s the most direct solution to the problem of “shadow work” that I know of.

Unexpected yet unavoidable tasks are just a fact of life, even for the experienced and organized. Tracking them makes you better at anticipating them next time.

Advanced calculus: do the same for recreation, rest, entertainment, and hobbies to re-frame fun as a responsibility and recovery as well-invested time.

Lol nice. I wonder if he used tungsten carbide blanks. Probably densest cheap metal if lead isn’t an option. Would need diamond cutting discs/bits to fit it tho.

Edit: probably for the best that I didn’t become a parent lol

Easy :) shower before exercise. Quick rinse after if necessary.

Difference between gross sweat and clean sweat. Laundry’s simpler, less urgent, and workout clothes last longer.

Why: odors are mostly bacteria farts. The bacteria needs food, water, and heat to grow. Showering before washes off the food.

Damn, big raspberry too lol
