Ask Lemmy

Mind your own buisness.

I don't care about other peoples sexuality, gender fetishes, whatever. Its not my buisness and I have no right to judge them for their decision. You do you. As long as people aren't assholes or annoying as hell I don't care.

Science isn't an answer, it's a process.

good enough is good enough

"There are idiots/assholes everywhere", no direct translation for the word I want in English.

I don't mean it in a mean way, just that idiots/assholes can be from any group of people. Two examples:

Don't assume a doctor knows everything just because they're a doctor. Some doctors are idiots/assholes, they might be wrong. Get a second opinion if something they said sound iffy.

When hearing people generalize from one individual's behavior (like racism): this one is an idiot/asshole, they are everywhere, including in this group and all other groups too.

"you can fix dumb, but you can't fix lazy"

If you don't know, I can teach you. If you just don't want to learn, well that's a different story

There is no such thing as an easy job if you are passionate enough.

When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.

If it aint broke don't break it.

Just barely good enough is perfect.

Machines are for breaking & plans are for changing.

You can drive the schedule or the budget - not both.

No 'and then'

...

Always be prepared to be unprepared.

If it's not going to matter on your deathbed it doesn't really matter.

Fear the shorter or regret.

I'm short, fear me.

“You will die soon, keep doing cool shit”

Live in spite of everything.

Be the change you want in the world.

"Don't stop dreaming, because the world is full of people who've stopped dreaming."

Probably no one said that, it's just what reminds me on so many things at once. It's so full of hope, confidence, happiness, interest into new things, overcoming obstacles, the future, laying off the monotone, enjoyment, pushing yourself further. I could interpret and fill so much into this. It also has a little bit of superiority in it, but that's because I often suffer under the negative Nancys and people who have given up, who try their best to drag you down.

"Some days are just like that"

For food safety: When in doubt, throw it out.

"And there's a funny thing about honesty; there's no two ways about it."

This quote from Lassie Come-Home comes up whenever I'm not sure if I should be honest about something bad that I've done. It's a pretty good motto.

That, and "Smile, tomorrow will be worse."

So no more running. I aim to misbehave.

"Give them a hand and they'll want the arm."

In other words while it's okay to help people you need to be careful and impose some limits here and there, as people are naturally greedy and will burden you for their own benefit.

DON'T PANIC

Keep on keepin' on...

In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did

You can't change the past and can't control the present. Deal with the future.

No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.

Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.

"Will this matter in 6 months?" If not, don't waste your mental energy on it.
