How do you “Do as as I say, not as I do”?
Don’t eat a entire box of thin mints.
That’s easy to obey… but samaos seem to spontaneously evaporate near me.
I had a customer that mentioned something about her daughter and the cookies, I interrupted her to ask for 10 boxes of Samoas.
They did not last as long as one would hope.
Do not eat that entire 3KG bag of wine gums to yourself
I’m sorry, what? Elaborate for curiosity!
Good luck on the throne
No issues for me
It’s not a problem if it takes you 12 tries and you still haven’t gotten it, do it a 13th. If I don’t do something perfect on the 1st or 2nd try I’ll most likely never do it again.
I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I’ll just think to myself that I’ll never top that and give up. There’s something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.
If you just do the thing, people will stop asking you when are you going to do the thing.
Mom called. She wants to know when to expect grandkids.
She already has 5 leave me be.
Sleep more.
All advice I give is advice I should take, but don’t
Stop checking the news.
Grab a book before sleeping rather than your phone.
Be kind to yourself
Don’t Write Lemmy Posts In Title Case
Actually, I like capitalizing random nouns, so sometimes I might do that accidentally.
as a swiss german (we capitalize nouns for those who don’t know), I sometimes automatically capitalize nouns when writing in english, especially when I just wrote something in german. Its a habit and at least for me, its really hard to prevent me doing it.
Same is for when I wrote mucn in english before, then writing something in german. Then everything is in lowercase.
“don’t worry about it being perfect” and “stop being so self critical”
I will give men advice on how to be more attractive to women but i dont use that advice because i only like men lol. Not that im like the women whisperer i just find straight men to be… misguided i guess is the best word. They project their own wants onto women and dont consider hey maybe she doesnt want the same things you do in a partner.
“If you can’t truly be a good, supportive, platonic friend to her with no secret ulterior motive, maybe you don’t deserve her. Maybe you need to take a look at not only how you treat women, but how you think about them.”
Most straight men have a lot of patriarchal shit they need to work out within themselves that contribute to them being bad partners.
Ya dont be a sex crazed creep is like tip #1 lol
It’s amazing how many men still miss this too!
“Don’t overthink it” & “worrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.
I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.
I would agree, but I’m still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!
“Done is better than perfect.”
I’m working on this, though i usually say - I’d rather get bitched at for doing it wrong than for not doing it. At my job it’s to emphasize the stupidity of the task and the lack of training on a shitty system.
Always add tests to your code!
True that haha
In practice, I live by “never write any code that’s important enough for anyone to insist on testing it” 😎
Get your shut together and stop fucking up
“Your life is worth it, don’t give up!”
Right as I think about my own suicide plans.
I feel like a hypocrite.
Asking for help us a sign if strength, not weakness.
I know that because i find it extremely hard to ask for help.
Sometimes it helps to take your own advice, like having a conversation with yourself as if you were another person.
Other times, there’s a cloud around our heads that stops that from working.
I hope you find someone to talk to who treats you with the same compassion that you treat others.
Depending on where you live, someone to talk to is probably a phone call away. Give it a try if that’s an option.
Oof that his home.
All I can say is that things can turn it better, it has for me personally.
It’s great of you that you inspire others, though, not hypocritical, it’s what we all need sometimes. Doesn’t matter if you don’t see it personally, you are helping another human being get along.
I feel you so fucking much.
