there are some people go through such extremes that normal orderly life isn't enough for them they actually require crazyshit to be happening around them to stay sane and act normal.

That's not it at all, tbh

Because the crazy s*** is their new normal

It's because the mundane is boring, an unchallenging

@M4Gunner 12 rules is the more focused and slightly dumbed for the layman version of maps, IIRC

Yes @Fitzydog

same ideas and lessons, but Maps is far more <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

@King Canuck It's the why vs the how

Wot

You get the audiobook version of both his books for like two bucks

My ma already figured me out after I bought Conscience of a Conservative by my boi.

Rules is for people that were raised by the religiously ambiguous

Same tbh

But Rules seems more actually useful then alot of these other books imo

Im still not gonna buy it

It's more like a textbook for sound living tbh lol

Ditto books on manipulating people are far more interesting and far more useful

like, you're not going to find a basic algebra book useful, are you?

But some people will

Same

oof, coming from a programmer

Well not basic algebra but yes

Math is my worst subject by far

YOU GET MY POINT

The only reason why I almost failed high school

I took 12 rounds of shop classes in 4 years and almost fails calculas

See, most of my coworkers are people who would benefit from knowing those 12 rules.

They're good people, and inclined enough to try and learn something new and useful. But no one ever laid it out for them in an instruction manual

Funny though I passed English with a 98 which you would never know because I suck at grammar and spelling

I was good at shop. I just never bothered to take a 2nd year cuz I knew that eyeballing everything was only gonna go so far.

Measuring something ans math are two totally different fields

Wouldn't even consider them is the same form of thought.

Algebra 1 is the only overlap lol

Your ability to distinguish a set distance is done differently in your head then your ability to put numbers together to mean something about that distance

Don't need math to read a tape measure micrometer or to know how much you need to take off of a part on a lathe

Your ability to know that eyeballing something is not a good method of measurement is also something else lol

Fuckin whats with kids who cant read analogue clocks.

I'm accurate down to about .3mm for eyeballing it

Its the simplest shit in the world and I learn that half of my cousins 8th grade class cant read one.

And for larger things that I over 6 feet I'm accurate within 2-4mm

eh, analog clocks are unnecessary use of brain power

@Banks=Gay that's actually kind of sad
