Put in the tags:

Which of these are you currently Real Good At, and still growing and improving?

Which are you currently Real Good At but in the process or in danger of becoming rusty through lack of practice?

Which were you Real Good At at some point in your life, but are no longer at that level because you stopped using it and lost the skill over time?

Which are you just starting the process of Getting Real Good At?

Which would you like to Get Real Good At someday but haven’t yet had enough hours in the day to put in the time?

And

Which would you theoretically like to Get Real Good At, but realistically given time and energy constraints it’s not a priority and probably never will be?

Feel free to include other skills besides those listed, and to adjust the categories to those that make sense for you!

There aren't enough fucking hours in the day to get real good at chess, violin, piano, singing, crosswords, film photography, contemporary dance, literary analysis, writing, film criticism, historical analysis, political commentary, tennis, Latin, French, German, Italian, identification of invertebrates, programming, cooking, musical composition, watercolour painting, philosophy, stage acting, fencing, psychoanalysis, and sickoposting online.

Good People Doing Good Things -- Above and Beyond

Rarely do I redux a ‘good people’ post, though I have done so maybe a dozen times since I began doing them back in 2017.  Wow … seven years now of good people posts!  At any rate … I’m still not completely over my bout with Covid and tonight I am finding it difficult to focus, and even difficult to stay awake, so I’m reduxing this one from August 2018 … over six years ago, and I have a lot of new…

Tim Drake is largely considered the hot mess of the family when it's so painfully obvious it's everyone else.

Like objectively speaking, Tim and Damian have their shit way more together than Jason and Dick ever could.

Like Tim needs our help he can't do anything, while Dick doesn't even know how to make a doctors appointment.

Damain needs to learn how to interact with people, cut to Jason who has been wearing the same pair of underwear for two weeks because he doesn't know how to work a washing machine.

Yeah, Damian and Tim need your help

Origami Noriaki Kakyoin designed and folded by me. 1 uncut square for Kakyoin, props from separate papers like the clock model by Suke527779 found on crease patterns google drive. I ended up only using the new props I created a little. (Did also start folding a structure for Hierophant’s tentacles but found it to be distracting from the main focus of the photos when displayed, so I ended up not using it.) That said! I painted his earrings and I think they really stand out now. Normally I don’t paint origami after folding, but my view has changed after experiencing how much fun it was to paint and seeing how it enhances the piece! Also made linocut prints since people have been telling me to put a “signature” of some sort in, so...yeah, hope people don’t mind.

Would

Also, he was so close, everything was perfect until the end because he didn't square it before folding it small.

cole doesn’t really fit the only child kind of vibe. Like u look at jay and it’s like wow ok . Classic only child freak. it is Textbook. but i feel like cole kind of gives eldest daughter syndrome. in my mind he definitely has like . 5 younger siblings

[biggestdumbestduck]

In theory I know how to fold fitted sheets. In reality?

[ooeygooeyghoul]

He's here!!

It's Shiun's official off-model ref sheet! Bout time I made one, I've only had him for a year and a half.

[daftpatience]

it's so over for me now that I know I can get these

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

Asmi my dear, have you ever folded a fitted bedsheet?

I... I have tried to. We do not talk about about my level of success or lack thereof.

What--why is this a question? Is this your suggestion for Patreon content that I make? Just me losing my mind over trying to fold a fitted bedsheet? Because if so, while I don't doubt this sadistic fandom will find it amusing, the Patreon thing sounds like even more of a terrible idea.

Realistic image of what would happen:

HELLO MAGGOTS I'M GOING TO FOLD THIS FITTED SHEET FOR MONEY HOW IS THIS MY LIFE NOW. Okay really carefully like one bit after another. IKEA I believe in you surely you made this sheet foldable. I'm gonna just... uh... tuck in the corner. Okay that didn't work. FUCKING HELL STAY IN PLACE I JUST WANT TO TURN YOU OVER IN HALF. SWEDEN YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR SINS JUST LET ME FOLD THE GODDAMN THING IN HALF. FITTED SHEET MORE LIKE SHITTED FEET AMIRITE AHAHAHAHAHAH FUCKING FOLD GODDAMMIT STAY CORNERED SO I CAN PRETEND YOU'RE AN ORDINARY SHEET. I feel like there was a tutorial on Pinterest and this had a technique but we all know I forgot it as soon as I saw it. Besides now it's outright war between me and you, you shitted feet, and I will not be conquered by an IKEA sheet. WE'RE NOT INVADING DENMARK ANYMORE WE'RE INVADING SWEDEN IKEA YOU COULD HAVE MADE THIS A LITTLE EASIER. I KNOW ALL FITTED SHEETS ARE LIKE THIS BUT I'M CHOOSING TO BLAME SWEDEN BECAUSE THIS ONE IS FROM IKEA. AAAAAAAAAAAAUGH IF TIME IS MONEY IT WOULD ACTUALLY COST ME LESS TO GO BUY A MATTRESS AND JUST STORE THE FITTED SHEET AROUND A MATTRESS. MAYBE I CAN JUST CRUMPLE IT UP AND TOSS IT SOMEWHERE. Wait no you guys paid for me to fold it. SEE THIS IS THE ISSUE WITH CAPITALISM I AM A SLAVE TO THE DAILY GRIND--

I hate how vividly I pictured that. And yeah. My internal monologues do actually sound like that.

@howmanyholesinswisscheese maybe if you'd been less vanilla mum wouldn't have left you and then I'd know how to fold a fitted sheet. @arkytiorlecter you failed me too. @obsessed-sketches Dear Dr Leo, my family did not teach me to fold fitted sheets. What do I do?

[lovelynoisyfun]

Absolutely awesome 👌

Jesus Christ how many stores have you worked at (/nbr/gen)

WELL SINCE YOU ASKED!

First I worked at a dog kennel. I liked working with dogs but I didn’t like the crazy owner or working holidays so I jumped ship after eight months to-

Red Robin! I’d always wanted to work there as a kid. I wanted to be a server but couldn’t get a promotion she said I wasn’t personable can you believe? and switched over after two years to-

Pizza! I got a pay bump and a very unhealthy work environment for eight months before I got fired! So then I applied at the-

Sex shop! I adored the job but the pay was absolute crap so after three years I got a job selling-

Mattresses! It was ”holy shit I’m above the poverty level for the first time” money. It was also hands down the most racist/sexist/homophobic place I ever worked. But ultimately I left to move to Arizona with my at the time long distance girlfriend and I sold-

Oil and vinegar! It was artisanal olive oil and vinegar that we bottled for them which was kinda neat but the pay was crap so I tried to get a job at-

Sleep Number! But the manager used the word “opportunity” fifty times in one day and I couldn’t stand it so I left to go back to oil after a week. Then my girlfriend dumped me and I moved back home to-

More mattresses! Again great money, awful culture. I did that for two years before my company got sold and the good pay went away so then I-

Sold jewelry! This was hands down the best company culture I’ve ever experienced, which made up for the medium pay. A coworker literally told me she thought it was a cult based on how gruntled we all were. But I realized sales was kinda killing me (along with an undiagnosed viral infection) and I went to-

School! If it hadn’t been for covid I couldn’t actually have done this part but because classes were virtual I was able to keep up despite my illness thanks to extremely careful time management. Now that I’m graduated I’m-

Unemployed! I’m applying at my old standby, mattresses, while keeping an eye out for rigging positions in the gaming field.

Origami Patchouli, designed by Xiao Dai/zhangyifan_32, folded by me. 

1 uncut square of unryu paper, about 60 cm. 

I had fun with this one and am fairly happy with the result.

Why are fitted sheets such Creatures?

[battle-of-alberta]

What obscure Albertan fact do you wish more people knew about?

Forgive the sketchy nature of this one, I wanted to try out a ballpoint pen style brush I had and this seemed like a short and sweet one :) The inventor of the fitted sheet was Giselle Jubinville.

This is a fun fact I learned from the Royal Alberta Museum, who have a short video on this (including how to fold one!)
