    “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

    I like being a generalist. But yes also ADHD.

    I’ve tried many paths in my life. Today at age 41 I know least where I want to go, rather than having any clearer idea of where my life is headed.

    There’s also the distinct possibility that we’ll be mostly dead in a decade due to climate change, famine, pandemic or war, in which case our preferences, hopes and dreams don’t matter in the slightest.

    I’m more of a Swiss Army knife. I can do a lot but I’m not that great at any of it.

        No that’s absolutely not useless. You’re hanging with friends partying and realize there’s no bottle opener for wine. Then you pull this bad bitch out of your pocket and save the day

        This happened to me once, except that no-one had swiss army knife in their pocket. I’m carrying now one

        The same way, you’ll never know when knowing what happened in Paris 1764 will save your day

          So it happened once, but without the knife. Now that you have the knife, has it ever come up again?

          I opened a bottle with a swiss army knife corkscrew once to see if it was a difficult as it appeared and it was an adventure. Maybe with some practice it would be easisr, but it shredded the cork because the tiny handle was hard to keep straight and the pulling action was hard to keep straight. Had to use one of the screws that sits on the lip to keep itself straight to get the rest of the cork out.

            Back in the bad old punk rock days, when we had wine on sale from Aldi, we’d jam the cork into the bottle with a screwdriver and catch most of the spray in the mouth. It was an art. Then drink directly from bottle as usual.

    Jack of all trades master of… what’s that on my pocket? Oh yeah that’s from that project, maybe I could do this other thing entirely different now that I have this. Anyway what was I saying, sorry I didn’t pay attention to myself speaking.

    Why Christian Bale? It should be a guy who tried to trim his beard but gave up. Also, I’m a bit of a barber.

      This also confused me. Also though, a lot of memes confuse me, specifically the ones that say “me when…” Because the person’s expression often is kind of mixed and unclear to me. Afaik I’m not autistic.
