whatever you think you want to be, go find the person who is that and spend time with them
take a step back if you have to, to take steps forward
either you'll find out you don't like them and what they are, and you'll be something else
or you'll decide it is what you want and learn how they got there
that is interesting
i have always lamented that i'm not 'handy' at all. i am super jealous of people who can just, figure out simple machines and joints and how things fit and gears work and stuff. just, general ability to get how something works and fix or change it?
when i was a young teen i did an informal gunsmithing apprenticeship. i found it interesting but i also did not really like the dude my family set me up with. and generally speaking i do not like the gun dudes i run into as a general sample. so it kind of soured me on the whole thing.
fwiw i was also hesitant to go into software for this reason (thinking everyone was super awkward, self-centered, misogynistic etc). until i realized the broadness of the field and how outdated those stereotypes were (in part, anyway) i was like hmmm these are the people i would work with!?

I had the same problem, my friend's dad tried to get me into gunsmithing when I was like 14 but holy shit are the kind of people you associate with awful
Guns are cool, shooting is cool, gun club people are awfuuuul

the IT people I worked with in Milwaukee were more comically open about their racism than any white people I have ever seen outside of a Spike Lee film
edit: also sexist as fuck, the manager flat out told me he didn't hire chicks

an alternative to a chobani: buy some greek gods unflavored yogurt, toss in a small amount of splenda or something and add like diced mango to it
Splenda is gross and you should feel bad.
I eat my mango chobani every day because it's mad easy super tasty protein and I have no fear of sugars that come from chunks of fruit because c'mon, what kinda communist land is this where I can't even eat fucking fruit any more?
So, a local church wants more people to come by. Seems like a pretty typical aspiration.
They decided that a good way to get people to stop by would be to hold a big raffle. Sure, makes sense; maybe people are coming by just for the raffle, but it gets them to take the first step of engaging the church, no big deal.
So, what are they raffling off? Well...
Never change, America.
No, I'm just kidding. Please please please change.

I use ez-sweetz Idk if it's splenda or what
in small amounts its fairly indistinguishable from sugar in anything that has a strong flavor (sauces for chinese food, yogurt, coffee)
Ive successfully tricked people that say they can't stand it by telling them I used sugar and they were none the wiser. It isn't really necessary if you're adding fruit to yogurt, but I'm not sure if mango would be sweet enough on its own to counter the yogurt
My personal favorite is fresh wisconsin strawberries in greek yogurt, but those aren't available much of the year

so i'm trying binaural study aid stuff to help alleviate the cubicle life and concentrate and i can almost swear that it's working.

I found programming games to be really fun
writing the rules for chess or checkers etc

a really common piece of advice i've heard is to try and (poorly) emulate a simple game?
The fruit Choabnis have like 18 grams of sugar or 6%-8% your daily. That's not the worst thing in the world. Much better than the other yogurt brands out there.

I actually really dislike the AR-15 community as a whole. Their ability to put together astoundingly ugly guns that weigh 30 lbs more then they reasonable need to is amazing.

pong or flappy bird or w-e?
also being low fat means it will have more sugar than full fat
Edit: chobani mango has what an ounce of mango in it? that's 5 or 6 grams of sugar, but the cup of yogurt has almost 20
So much protein
