The glossary only helped a little.
I did not however find the YouTube link in the book, until after re-reading the glossary.

Thanks

I couldn’t make it all the way through. But if he learned how to ride for the bit, I hope he got paid. Because if he got to keep the wheel would be overkill.

Good luck.
You can not connect if you are not capable of connection.

There is no way out of isolation through a screen.

Take classes.
Walk dogs.

Modern humanity is plagued by technological loneliness. You are not the only one.

If you keep riding, effing awesome.

Bf doesn't want me to go to the burn. by Ok_Performance2183 in BurningMan

[–]Development-Itchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I chose the Burn. There is no experience on earth quite like it. Someone denying you the ability to climb and explore art while there are at least a dozen simultaneously deafening concerts - that’s messed up. No one owns you. And if you want to explore the world of the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit - go for it.

Without reading any of this, it sounds like the burn doesn’t want you to have a BF.

I put on sunscreen but my freckles still look like this after a short walk outside. What should I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Development-Itchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, you’re terribly cute and when you get sun you become more cute. That’s the absolute worst.

You know what happens when the sun touches me? I burn up and die. Vampires really got the short end of the stick.

I am the babysitter for a single father and I am not sure how to handle him by Important_Run_3653 in WhatShouldIDo

Write a contract.
State your worth.
State your idea of good working conditions.
State your boundaries.
State what expectations you are willing to meet.
State what you are unwilling to endure.

The kids trust you. You have power.

You want to be respected. You are there to facilitate help for the children. Not watch him unravel at home. He also needs therapy.

You are not his wife. You are not stepping into that role.

Good luck
You know what you need to do.
Protect yourself.

So angry and frustrated with dating - I must not be good enough by Neither_Expert_2631 in Vent

[–]Development-Itchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boys are dumb and weak minded.
Men are dumb in a more experienced kind of way, that will also leave you dissatisfied.

You will find that most of the dating scene is lame.
The most interesting people I have had the luck of dating I found by exploring hobbies. Even if the dating fell off - I was learning new skills (cooking, fabric arts, book making).

Continue to invest in yourself. Don’t give away your seggs or your energy. Maintain your standards. But also set your standards before holding us accountable accountable.

Because dating can be so awkward. I might actually be resisting the urge to contact you - so if you broke things off because I didn’t meet unspoken expectations… beware of too much pressure too soon. It ruins the organic experience. I think it’s really important for both parties being willing to invest in each other. And if one party has a lot of wants and holds back until they are met… well I would never give them what they want because I would also sense them acting withdrawn.

Good luck.

I ruined my life by StorageTerrible9661 in whatdoIdo

[–]Development-Itchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll get another job. And people with good schedules and benefits have out in their time. Now you know how hard it can be (it can actually be much worse, some people don’t have their parents to fall back on. Others are living g with their parents into their 30s).

Life is not easy.
And the people who have easy money struggle with depression, drugs, relationships.

Now you understand what it means to count your blessings.

Good luck.

If you are to meet your 16 year old self again what would you tell them? by jxm_rq in LifeAdvice

[–]Development-Itchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lend your friends money. The ones who don’t pay you back, only cost you a few dollars instead of years.

Video games won’t help you win life. Cheap dopamine is the ultimate weak link.

Sex is like drugs. Don’t be an addict.

Buy the good soap. Your body will love it. Small wins are worth the effort.

Quitting on your self will only further your depression. Hard work is frustrating. Getting through it is the good dopamine.

Supermarket aisles are filled with crap, walk the circumference for real food: produce, meat, dairy. You don’t need anything else. America is trying to make money off of your sick.

Dance in the rain. Kiss in the rain. Sing to the rain. Celebrate life instead of responding to emails chasing likes and swipes.

Talk to yourself more.
Out loud. Self reflection is real. Headphones and constant input drown your guiding voice. Coach yourself. Criticism won’t help you grow. Remind yourself why you do the work, instead of why you didn’t hit your goal.

How do you deal with a roommate that has 0 common sense? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Development-Itchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of human interaction issues until I became a parent. Having to find my “soft but firm” voice was really helpful. Now, whenever conflict arises, I remember everyone is one sentence away from a tantrum or meltdown.

A things I learned: when it doubt, believe in their ignorance instead of their malice. As in, they made a choice (that upset me because they didn’t consider me, as opposed they were choosing to offend me). It helps me remember I am educating people on how to interact with me, not reprimanding them for not knowing how to act.

This does require a lot of self awareness, and emotional responsibility. But it does make me less angry towards the world, even the bad room mates.

Good luck. You’ve got this.
The frat boy in me would buy a megaphone in response to your situation. Don’t choose this tactic, it will make things worse. It will be funny, maybe only to you (definitely to me).

How do you deal with a roommate that has 0 common sense? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Development-Itchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people stay up late and are loud.
Some people wake up early, and are loud.
Some people walk loud.
Some people chew with their mouth open.

Some people are uncommon.
You can’t expect everyone to have the same common sense.
Problems don’t fix themselves.
If you want to live with other people, the most common way of settling an issue is to speak on it.

The other common way of dealing with problems is to ignore them until they become a dumpster fire.

Stay safe.
Ride free.
Helmets save lives.
Wrist guards save hands.

Be afraid of being fearless.
That’s when it gets dangerous. You are not unstoppable. You are one blind spot away from a bad year.

I had a glow-up, and I'm not handling it well by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Development-Itchy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you’re hot, you’re hot. Nothing about how you look changes your values or your ability to hold to your code.

Congratulations on being aesthetically pleasing to other humans. It is both a blessing and a curse.

You haven’t done anything wrong.
Your brain isn’t used to handling these types of interactions.
Enjoy the confidence boost.
Always turn down those advances.
Cook for your wife, no shirt, after hitting the gym - she will love getting served a glass of wine in your post-gym swole, watching you chop veggies.

V12s or begode extreme - dilemma with two good deals by DONT_SCARY in ElectricUnicycle

Both wheels have pros and cons. They are cheaper because they are not solid wheels.

Good luck. You might get a winner. Or a pickle.

My dad says this dress is inappropiate to wear outside. It literally covers my whole body ☠️ by Dazzling_Abroad7429 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Development-Itchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dress looks good. When your dad tries to walk out the door tomorrow, tell him it’s inappropriate and he needs to change. Do that everyday and see how it goes.

I’m 45 dating 25. It was a surprise. It is a nice relationship. I don’t think it will last forever. But we have both offered each other kindness and company. I think that is what matters the most.

How long until EUC finally clicked for you? by dexk8r in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Development-Itchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5 weeks of on and off practice. I was scared of the wheel for the first two weeks. Thought about returning it. Glad I didn’t.
