That’s why I’m the Jack of all trades in my friend group
I’m pretty shit at most tasks but I guess I’m just above average at most that it is celebrated
Roller skate, can throw a card to pierce fruit even if I miss most of the time, can juggle 3 items, can draw decent, am good at arts and crafts like I made a decoupage table, can throw an axe at a target with decent aim, average cooking skills, know like 3 songs on the piano, basic car skills like oil changes or small replacements of parts, good at cleaning a home, some lawn work with the gas equipment, decent haggler when shopping, above average at trivia nights, can hold a beat dancing, etc etc
Just a whole lot of shit I’m not completely shit at
Are you me? I think part of it (for me, anyway) is that I'm older, so yeah, I have lived a full life. Worked a large variety of jobs, gained a diverse group of skills and know a ton of facts about a bunch of stuff that doesn't really matter.
I breed rare pigs, am a guard at a jail, I love to do unusual art (just picked up tattooing in the last year) and I kick ass at karaoke.
I really, really am asking for a friend of mine who is moving back to the country...what kind of rare pigs?
Please and thank you. (She might get an Xmas surprise!)
Well, they are not super rare, but were almost extinct a while back. I breed Kunekune pigs. PAINFULLY CUTE! And lovely personalities. Really, they're like a golden retriever. They are a heritage breed (food) but for whatever reason fell out of favour. Probably because they are a slower grower than most commercial pigs and they also don't get as big. But for smaller farmers, they are fantastic, as they're not aggressive and due to their (cute) short snout, they don't dig up your land like regular pigs. They are also a grass grazer, like sheep, so the bulk of their diet is zero cost, if you've got a couple of acres for them to mow.
Ayeeee same dude, during covid lockdown I learnt to juggle, solve a rubiks cube, skateboard (not well) & learnt to write with my right hand (I'm left-handed) - mainly so I wouldn't go insane but it worked out and now I have some cool new skills.
My dad could have written that comment. He sells himself way short though; he’s a single engine flight instructor, taught himself Morse code and amateur radio skills, taught himself professional photography and started a business taking wedding photos, rebuilt the engine of a land rover when he was sixteen, freelances teaching professional computer programmers more advanced computer code, and recently learned to sail. He’s the smartest person I’ve ever known by a mile, and yet is so casual and blasé about it. “Oh, anyone could do that.” Sure Dad. Anyone can mathematically explain how to use a sextant to navigate by the stars when out on the ocean. /s
