curl | bashAlso using cat to review a script before running it. Cat by default will interpret ANSI escape codes and it’s possible to overwrite a line and hide it. Use the -v or -A option with cat to show the ANSI escape codes rather than interpret them. Or use less, vi, nano.
“Get a job doing something you live doing.” Only if you want to learn to hate something you loved. Doing anything as work builds resentment, you’re better off finding something you can tolerate. Save the stuff you love for hobbies or as a last resort your own business, not working for anyone else.
I love my work, but I wouldn’t do it for free.
I do things I love for free as hobbies.
Doing work I didn’t love would mean a huge percentage of my time would be spent doing something I don’t love.
the secret to “doing what you love” for work is to have a solid passive income stream established beforehand. this takes alot of the stress of failure/eaking out maximum profit out of the equation.
once you make more $ than you really need to spend, you can work as little/many hours at whatever type of job you want.
rich people are rich because somewhere down the line their parents bought/passed down dividend paying stock (or they got lucky themselves/soldout a startup for some etc.). once you bring in 6 figs in passive income you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want as long as you don’t try to keep appearances with the super-rich.
that is what all those “i weave baskets and my partner rehabilitates wild dolphins for a living, watch us shop for a 2-3 million $ house”-shows quietly never touch on.
Better advice would be to find a job that is enjoyable.
My work is still work, but as jobs go it’s fucking awesome … it’s not what I love, but there’s lots of variety, I have to use my head and body, and it’s legit so I don’t have to worry about being arrested or catching an STD or whatever.
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. Your silence in the face of injustice is what enables abuse.
Yeah and now people cant handle a reality check, and I’m the asshole for giving one rather than reflecting on what they did wrong
Yes! All that civility and decorum training. I’ll add to yours “Don’t speak ill of the dead.”
Stops people from learning about intergenerational trauma and fascists/terrorists in the family. Sure, my grandad was wildly abusive to his daughters and disgustingly racist about black people in Nova Scotia, Canada (the ones in Jamaica are fine btw). But he’s dead now so “we don’t talk about that.” Totes cool to mention his army medals tho.
“Blood is thicker than water” meaning family is more important than chosen relationships.
And before any smartypants claims it used to mean something else, there is no evidence of that.
That’s something people say cause they think it makes them sound smart. Like people who say the Hunger Games is just Battle Royale, while ignorant of the long history of stories about death tournaments
Irrespective if the meaning has been reversed over the years.
What most people miss about this saying is… IT GOES BOTH WAYS.
If someone mistreats you and uses their blood relationship to you as an excuse, then that is not a member of your family. Family supports and goes through things together. Friends can become family. At this stage of my life, I have cut off my entire blood relations due to their toxic and stupid behavior. My family is the woman I married, my kids, and a few choice friends.
“Crime doesn’t pay”
Tell that to the companies which get a few million in fines for stealing tens of millions in wages.
Crime doesn’t pay when you’re not protected by privilege and status.
Idk man I’ve been making pretty good money out of growing weed and am not protected. Even with the occasional bust, it’s still a net plus.
Be good at what you do. No half measures.
Edit the camera was shitter than my older phone, apologies
Edit 2 for law enforcement this picture is >2 y old
Edit 3 I’d consider that like an 8/10 for my own grows
Dress warmly or you will catch a cold.

Respect your elders.
“Don’t care what other people think about you”
Sounds like permission to be an asshole.
I understand what it’s trying to say, but assholes don’t mind borrowing the mantra.
I read a book a while back called “The Courage to be Disliked”. That title could be used for some manosphere nonsense but it was instead an overall positive book about determining your self-worth based on your own honest evaluation of yourself, with the goal of improving things that you otherwise make excuses for. It was helpful to me as someone who’s been a people pleaser with low confidence. Hearing that mantra reminds me of it. I think it’s certainly not universally applicable, but it can be good advice for the right person.
Peeing on a jellyfish sting. It doesn’t do anything, except maybe humiliate a person who’s already in pain.
That’s my kink.
Some people will pay for this service…
“If you didn’t hear back about the application, reach out to the company/recruiter/interviewer.” - they’re either not into you or swamped trying to get things lined up to move forward or both. Either way they don’t want to hear from you because you’re not getting it or they are working on it. Just pretend you didn’t get it and move on.
“Personalize your cover letter for each job application.” - no one has read that shit in years–and that was before AI slop started doing them all for people—and good companies don’t ask for them anymore as it’s cruel to waste applicants time on them.
“Ask for what you’re worth in the interview/during a promotion/counteroffer!” - this one comes with an asterix as it’s not always terrible advice, but well-run orgs gave a budget for your role, know what the job generally pays for the skills it requires and can’t go much outside of it at all or they’ll create pay equity issues which is against the law in most states if not federally, depending. I say all that and close by saying most companies aren’t well run, so they’re just trying to save money, but some are actually working withing a good system so don’t take it personally if they don’t or can’t offer you more.
“Slam your weenie in a kitchen drawer for fun.”
Don’t know how many times I’ve heard it through the years. It’s actually not very fun at all, though.
“Just rub some dirt in it, you’ll be fine”
Ah yes, introduce who knows what kind of bacteria, possible fecal matter and foreign material into an open wound and be surprised when it gets infected.
I’ll admit, I did this as a kid many times but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea
I’ve never heard that as advice, where is it common?
US, specifically in the country. Fall off your bike and scrape your knee, rub some dirt in it and keep going, for example.
While I grew up hearing this advice, I don’t remember anyone taking it literally. Even as a little one I always understood it to mean the same as “walk it off”, also not entirely literal.
What they really meant was the more literal and toxic “don’t just cry like a baby “
Oh no where I grew up it was very literal, my parents said it and even teachers when kids fell on the playground at school.
Those of us in the US call it “healthcare.”
