not trolled not crying posted:I feel like I do that a lot, not trusting people etc. I mean. But I'm not smart. I just have a constant fear of failure/people realizing just how dumb I am. I call it impostor syndrome but I actually am the impostor. Most of the things I've "accomplished" in life, I've either cheated in some way or used some cheap psychological trick to get by. And the reason I've done that is because I'm so stupid and also lazy/easily frustrated that I really can't retain any new information I try to acquire. So I try to avoid situations where my shortcomings (there's a lot) would come to light and that makes life somewhat hard and nerve wracking which is a stupid way to live. I wanted to post something funny, but then I saw this post and lost the motivation.

Passive Aggreeable posted:24 hour time dude just subtract 12 from anything over 12. but make sure you say thirteen hundred, or zero seven thirty. and loving 0000 does not exist, for fucks loving sake. it's either 2359, or 0001. god. I'm really dumb when it comes to people experiencing emotional pain. I don't know how to react. I say "i'm sorry for that" but that isn't what they want. "i'm sorry you mom got ate by a tiger. that sucks. do you have the TPS reports?" (i'm kidding. i'm not that bad.) but when people I care about are hurting I don't ever know what to do and it drives me insane. I still have to say "righty tighty and lefty loosey" out loud some times. and I have to go through the alphabet in my head to try to alphabetize poo poo. Even playing the stupid car game. blight rhino fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Jun 10, 2023 |

I can't parse things that I hear if there's any distortion or static associated with it, if there's radio chatter I probably didn't hear it right for the nth time. And on that note, I eggcorn lyrics pretty badly and I don't remember song lyrics very well.

when I'm having some sort of online pissing contest with someone I will often just skim-read what they're saying, or the sources they post, and then completely misinterpret it or get the facts wrong because I'm angry and will then respond to a point someone didn't make or just post something extremely dumb and just own myself and then I have to skulk off like a bitch and hide for days and not talk about it

I cant really cook. I just buy pre-cut meat or ground beef, some pre-cut veggies and a sauce, and slam everything into a pan until its hot and doesn't look like it'll kill me. The last time I tried to cook something more complicated, it became a wet sloppy mess that tasted like nothing.

The dumbest guys you can possibly imagine from your high school are probably very successful chefs now. I'm sure you can learn how to make some spaghetti carbonara or something

The last time I tried to cook something more complicated, it became a wet sloppy mess that tasted like nothing. Jesus christ cooking isn't hard. Steak: Buy a strip steak Pat dry with paper towels Salt with 1/2 tsp salt each side Pepper the same way Heat 2 tbls oil in a pan on medium high (6/7 on most us electric ranges) Put a drop of water in and when it starts popping, your pan is hot enough to cook. For an inch thick steak 3-5 minutes a side is good. Remove steak to a plate, cover with aluminum foil for 5 minute. Mashed potatoes: Wash and Chop up like 3 big russet potatoes. Boil those suckers for like 30 minutes, until a fork goes in easy. Strain them, put them in a bowl. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk, 2 tbls butter, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper 1 tbls garlic paste. Mix with hand mixer until smooth, add more milk a few tbls at a time if it's too dry. Add more salt and pepper at the end if needed. There u go.

I thought I was fairly talented at cooking for how much time I put into it, I would frequent Goons With Spoons, I could follow a recipe and have things turn out well etc. Then I looked at a French cooking course while I was in jail and then I realized I knew nothing about cooking at all. Mother sauces, veggie techniques, all new info to me.

I have to step away for a bit and then re-summarize my thoughts, then realize I was being way too aggressive in my attempt to communicate some bullshit or like you said realize I was missing the point entirely.

Family and friends consider me a very good cook. To be honest I am pretty crap at it, I just know how to follow a receipt pretty well. But in my opinion that is not really cooking. Give me a bunch of ingredients and tell me to make something out of it using my own creativity I have no idea what to do except for making some kind of mediocre casserole dish.

I never took a chemistry class or a geometry class. So I barely know anything about ionic vs covalent or formulas for determining area. But I do know that the atomic weight of cobalt is 58.9 thanks to that line in Ghostbusters 2. For a while I thought Dustin "Screech" Diamond was the younger brother of Mike Diamond from the Beastie Boys Until about a year ago I thought Gibraltar was an island in between Spain and Morocco

Hell Yeah posted:i still trust people and make myself vulnerable to them like i'm a little kid. but i view the people who expressly never do that in life as cowards forsaking the best parts of life. i get hosed over and my trust gets betrayed constantly but to be honest i'm like 40 years old and if you don't realize this is what life is all about then wtf is wrong with you. don't live life with your hands up. you should act dumb as gently caress and then if it blows up in your face it's not really a big deal. bravery and stupidity are the same thing. if you want advice about life from a middle age white man, live your life like a hero, don't hide in a hole waiting to die like a bitch just so you can feel smart. smart people are the most miserable people you will meet in life. You got any specifics for this awesome life advice
