Only problem is, he won't let you overtake anyone.

Mine is so terrified of going outside I think he's been on 4chan. I'm watching for signs of radicalization, he's always been an incel afterall.

Yeah, I totally agree with that.

Had two brothers from the same litter. sometimes it was so obvious they were brothers, like when they'd sit in an identical pose and watch me with hopeful eyes if I was cooking.

Other times they were nothing alike. Different preferences for food, for attention, for the most comfortable position for a cuddle. Lovely boys. They did have the same vocalisations though, only I could tell the difference just from hearing them!

Not my cat. The day he's not asking for food or attention he's probably dead.

I have found it's just as easy to burn out doing what I love as it was doing a job I hated.

Easier in some ways, because I don't want to stop!

That's the same case I recently used when rebuilding my old machine.

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge.

This isn't a social media thing exclusively of course, I've met it in the real world too.

When I worked as a repair technician, members of the public would ask me for my diagnosis of faults and then debate them with me.

I've dedicated the second half of my life to understanding people and how they work, in this field it's even worse because everyone has opinions on that topic!

And yet my friend who has a physics PhD doesn't endure people explaining why his theories about battery tech are incorrect because of an article they read or an anecdote from someone's past.

So I'm curious, do some fields experience this more than others?

If you have a field of expertise do you find people love to debate you without taking into account the gulf of awareness, skills and knowledge?
