Well not everything. From what I've seen here you have a good sense of humor, an appreciation for cute things, and apparently some resilient but not unrealistic revolutionary optimism.

"I'm terrible at X" may be a true statement, but it isn't a reason to feel bad about yourself.

Examples about me:

  • I've long known I'm terrible at drawing, which is frustrating but does not make me inferior as a person. And I've actually come to appreciate my barebones and simple drawing style.

-There's no defending my singing, and that's fine.

-More seriously, my skill/ability to work a full time job without burning out horribly is severely compromised. Yet I say that's not a bad thing about me, but a revelation that the full time work week is bullshit.

If you're terrible at something that's fine. You're Dort_Owl and brighten the day of people you'll never meet whenever you make a funny joke or share a beautifully curated adorable weevil picture. Being terrible at things makes life harder, that is a condemnation of the system which punishes not being good st those things. I dare say none of us are good at climbing the corporate ladder and making it to CEO, but that's not a bad thing.
