If you don’t have the actual skills, they just let you fold the laundry.

That makes no sense. The inaccuracies are even less acceptable with widespread use!

I was there, on the day it was posted.

Ok, this one got me. I was at a… Loss.

Oh yeah, no question about that!

Didn’t she actually say “In Somalia they execute criminals”? Feels like an important distinction.

Similar to what OP is doing - minimizing consumption as much as I can, and being selective with sources when I have to. If I need something, I try to buy used first.

This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding US products and services. I still have investments, but try to focus on ESG as much as possible (though I’m aware that participating in stock markets etc is problematic in itself, but I don’t have a lot of choice in the matter).

I’m also trying to move away from a profit/monetary value maximizing mindset, and want to focus on sustainability, durability and social benefits.

In reality, these are all goals that I often fall short of. But I want to keep trying and get better.

Don’t be sorry!

I thought of this comic just the other day. Thanks for posting it.

Edit: wait, that’s not the original…

Also having the discipline to do an actual proper review of the output is hard. I bet that gets skipped s lot even for people who know better.

Clockwise and mustard.

So like… All of them?

But they were all of them described, for another milk was made…

Not really the same situation, but I got my driver’s license at 43 years old. Leading up to me taking lessons, I was overthinking the whole process. So a few thoughts from that angle for the driving itself:

• take some refresher lessons with an instructor. For me it was reassuring to have a professional in the car. That should help you with the distance calculation bit.
• when you start driving on your own, try to avoid high stress situations. Like, avoid rush hour, take short trips on routes your familiar with.
• somewhat the opposite, but not really: take a road trip. Go somewhere quiet, into the country side. Gain familiarity and confidence.
• as you get more used to it, you’ll find that it becomes more and more normal and less stressful.
• drive defensively. Leave space. If others butt in, let them and give them space.

For some other points you mentioned:

• get a cushion to raise you up if you can’t adjust the seat height. I am average height and did that to get better visibility.
• blind spots are also car dependent. Are you tired to a specific car, or can you shop around, maybe for something smaller?

I recently re-discovered Deathtrack.

Can’t watch the video now, but why build it next to the white house instead of literally anywhere else?
