Wheels' Trashfire

@typical-atheist-scumbag , here’s some wheels for you.

Damn, I gotta up my chair game. Thanks for the idea!

destroy the idea that bunk beds are just for kids

especially the sort where the lower bunk is actually a desk or a couch

i mean

come on

tell me you don’t want one of these

i need it

I have always thought about this

When I get my studio apartment I’ll have one for sure

human brain: beds go on the floor

monkey brain: SAFER UP TREE

This is a great idea, maybe I’ll figure out how to adapt one. Although, wouldn’t that be kind of annoying if you need to take a piss in the middle of the night?

That’s what the sliding board is for: go down it to go pee.

Okay maybe that works, but how do you get up there when you're drunk?

You know what we need more of? Beginner’s classes for adults.

It’s supposed to be really, really good for you to keep learning new things as you age. It helps stave off strokes and dementia and Alzheimer’s and improves memory. And hey, learning stuff is fun.

But I really don’t want to be infantilized when I try to learn something. And I definitely don’t learn the way a child does. And honestly, what adult wants to be in the same class as children? Very few.

This occurred to me recently because I’d like to learn how to actually ice skate properly. My parents never signed me up for classes, because it wasn’t a thing they ever cared about or thought about. Now I’m in my twenties and want to learn, and also don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of eight-year-olds who probably honestly skate better than I do. Because that’s embarrassing, and embarrassment is not how you learn.

Would it be good to lose the social stigma of being worse at something than a child? Yes. Hell yes. But we’ve got to start somewhere, and like I said: adults don’t really learn the way kids do, and a lot of people use these kinds of activities to make friends, and I don’t want to make friends with an eight-year-old, either.

So.

Beginner’s classes for adults. Let adults suck at stuff and learn how to get better and learn new things and broaden their horizons, while still being treated as adults. Classes for writing, for pottery, for chess, for art, for instruments, for singing, for sports, for chemistry. For everything, dammit.

This would be nice. I just turned 21 and I usually self teach when I want to learn something stop, but not everyone can do that and I'm sure that I can't do it with everything. It would be nice to have the option to go to a class full of people my own age if I need to.
