Local moron discovers basic self-reliance isn't as nice as having someone else do menial work for you, more at 11.

Tailoring is a craft. Coding is a craft. Sketching is a craft. Cobbling is a craft. Cooking is a craft. None of this shit is menial when you want it done properly.

There's a huge difference between self-reliance and doing-everything-yourself. Knowing who to ask in order to get help is as much a critical component of adulthood as knowing a few basic lifestyle skills. Anyone who tells you they do their own electrical work to save money is either an actual certified electrician or an idiot who risks getting themselves killed.
