  • That’s what happens when you do it yourself. You notice the flaws more.

    I spent months redoing my bathroom. I moved a wall, re-routed plumbing installed a new tub, and tiled. So much tiling. I ripped some out I was so pissed at how it went in. I still see every spot that I didn’t like.

    After that experience I went into the bathroom at my work and looked at the tiling in there. The tiles directly in front of the unrinal I’ve been peeing in for 6+years. They were way worse than some of the stuff I was fussing over, and I never noticed.

    Give yourself credit for finishing the fucking job. Learn to not make the same mistakes, and go out and make new mistakes to learn from.









  • Gen Xer here…

    It didn’t use to be this bad. The FCC (and ftc) dropped the bag (regulatory capture), letting clear channel gobble up stations.

    When I was a kid had a couple great local stations back in the day. One was a highschool station that local bands could send in cassette tapes and they would play them on Tuesdays. They had a Mosh Monday curated by local metalhead kids/young adults (there was vocational training at the radio station in evening classes).

    Even the commercial channels were better. Not great or anything, but they had a lot more variety.
