  • I remember me when I was a teenager: I was a dumbass.

    Everybody I knew from school? Also some sort of dumbass.

    I was slightly less of a dumbass at 18, but still definitely a dumbass. I think that number just gets settled on because it’s the legal age where you are considered an adult (though by actual biological standards, your brain doesn’t even finish developing until 7 years later).

    Is it stupid? You bet!

    That’s probably the main reason for it though. More likely than not, you’ll look back at your teenage years 20-30 years later (or sooner) and realize how foolish you were. Wisdom usually comes with age (though not always).













  • No, not really. They are apparently 99% predatory scumbags or incompetent junkies who will fuck you over as soon as possible. They fill me with such rage that I have given up on using those lying assholes for almost everything except for roofing, some electrical, and some plumbing.

    If you have to subject yourself to their bullshit: Always get at least 3 quotes from licensed bonded professionals. If they aren’t licensed and bonded, tell them to go jump into a wood chipper because it is 100% not worth the risk.
