Has anyone ever told you that you can just DO things?
So many people don't seem to get this. You can literally do whatever you want.

After a bad breakup, it hit me that I had been being told for a decade that I was too stupid, too weak, too lazy to do anything. Within a year I was successfully recording audio books, building my own microphones, repairing electronics, etc. All it took was not being told that I was utterly useless.

I posted this as a literal shower thought. I know so many people that never considered that they could just "Do something".
It was stuff like "I don't know how" or "It seems hard" or "I don't have a degree". Bitch, I was doing circuit design when I was in middle school because I wanted to and it was fun. I found resources online and learned how to do it on my own and did it.
I posted a couple of days ago about fixing shit on my car and that I don't need someone to tell me I can, I have a manual and can look up videos on the internet or go to owners forums. It's not that fucking hard. You just have to be willing to try.
I think a lot of people have never really tried something for fear of failure or something. I have failed a LOT but I have also learned a ton and fail less now that I have at least tried. How are you going to rebuild the world if civilization falls?
You won't, you will rely on people like us to do it. (end rant).

Same for me. Good part of the skills I have I learned online through jewtube videos or Udemy. You don't need to pay loads of money to some faggot to give you a paper that certifies you can now do the specific things.

I was a teacher for a short period of time. The first thing I did was throw out everything that the prior teachers did and were teaching then rebuilt the entire program on real-world situations with free docs/books/etc online. I did not teach for a book or a test, I taught for the work.
The students that finished the class all got great jobs right out of graduation and most of them still check up with me on stuff. They were motivated and worked hard but I hope that I imparted a little of the "if you want to, learn it" mentality in them.

I recently rebuilt an engine for a turbocharged Subaru. I learned that I can do it, it's not difficult so long as you have the time, the money, and the garage space (and an Internet connection... I am a YouTube certified mechanic after all).

In my younger years, I used to just DO things all the time. If I needed something fixed, had an idea for making something cool or helpful or just plain wanted to see what I could come up with from some spare bits and bobs, I'd just go DO something. Now in my more mature years I seldom have the time to just go do things. I do miss making shit and modifying things. I have a long list of things I'd like to do but I just can't get the time for the physical building it seems. I make music now because that lets me relax while still just DOing something. I don't know shit about formal music making or recording, but I just DO it anyway.
As I get nearer being able to free myself from working for a living, I will have to get back to doing stuff. I really want to build my own home control system again, but not using all that stupid cloud-based garbage or even the equally shitty open source shit either. I want it tailored to my ideas and fuck everyone else's (((standards))). I also want to gut a dishwasher, laundry machine and refrigerator and rebuild them with my own intelligent control and make my own features. I will get back into building lasers again too and maybe even build the robot arm I designed as a teenager. Hell I might give building a 6-wheel buggy a go too. I just gotta get past this damned need to keep working towards retirement. I'm close but it still seems so far with all this jewed up shit in my world. Fuckin jews. I just want to DO stuff.

Awesome, I hope that it comes sooner than later and maybe you get some lucky $$$ coming in to help with your future projects.
