oh yeah this. i can't even accomplish it with youtube tutorials. its nearly impossible. the industry i pivoted to doesn't seem to require it anyways because everyone dresses casual, but god ties feel like the some boomer thing that cant die soon enough.

Every time I'm trying to remember how to tie a tie I can't help but think "what is this? who thought of this?"

It's very likely that in at least one of those languages fornication and love are synonyms

Re ties: from age 8 to 17, I went to a private school with forced tie-wearing for our uniforms, even in kindergarten, and clip-ons weren't allowed unless you had special permission. I did the very easy to do, Simple Knot aka The Oriental Knot, since it was best suited for young uncoordinated 8 yr old me, none of the more elaborate ones. Without exaggeration, I did not have one comment or issue whatsoever from staff on this type of tie knot in my entire school career, nor have I had any comment on my type of knot in the formal events I went to (weddings, engagements etc). I work in Allied Health thank god, so no more ties for me at work!

Screw wearing ties in general, but you don't need to use an elaborate knot, unless your boss specifically calls out the Simple/Oriental knot as unsuitable and forces you to have a more elaborate knot. In which case, what kind of fresh hell company are you working for?

Just a comment on tyre changing: I have a jack & have changed tyres before, but a lot of tyre places nowadays over-tighten the bolts so you can't remove them with just a jack. My mother grew up on a farm & has changed tyres before: when a tyre went flat not too long after the tyres were swapped out, the bolts didn't move when she tried to remove them. She called the roadside assistance, the technician literally stood on the removal wrench & jumped on it, bolts still wouldn't budge. He had to use his cordless impact wrench to remove the bolts. According to him, they were getting a lot of callouts where tyre places were over-tightening tyres with their cordless wrenches, so manual jacks were useless. Don't feel too bad if you can't change a tyre yourself, you might not be able to anyway without help.

I learned to sew in grade 2.

As far as laundry is concerned I've only ever thrown all my poo poo together because gently caress it, why not? Nothing has ever bled and turned all my poo poo purple or whatever.
Exceptions: when bleaching white stuff or washing my bed sheets, because they get washed in hot water.
Everything else comes water and whatever detergent was cheapest at the grocery store when I bought it
