Spanglish doesn't mean 50/50 lol. And the "-ado" is absolutely pronounced the way they say it in Spanish, like dorado, tirado, girado, cerrado.

You're making up random rules and limiting pronunciations in order to make this shower thought true, and it just doesn't hold up to closer inspection.

You hear it as a joke when you're young, but it's not til you're old that you realize "you are what you eat" is literal.

Ah I didn't see that little spiral graph. I agree with you for anyone who keeps their knives sharp. But if you're trying to cut thin slices off a roast and have to choose between a bread knife and a dull chef's knife, I'd likely go for the bread knife. That said, I don't know they intended it that way, and it totally could have just been an error.

I don't see this suggesting a bread knife for meat, but a dull serrated blade beats a worn plain edge for any purpose. And produce is anything grown like fruit and veg.

As a chef, the only inaccuracy I see here is that bamboo cutting boards are good for knives. They are a great, cheap, sustainable option, but the silica content makes bamboo incredibly hard, and it will dull your blades faster than wood or plastic cutting boards.

If you like food/eating, consider culinary courses and see if you like it as a discipline (just one example).

I was in a very similar boat for years, and then I realized that at least 50% of the issue wasn't not having an interest, it was failing to see the massive variety of jobs out there and how some can relate to sources of joy I already appreciate. And I was assuming that if I wanted to follow a passion, I had to be the best at it and ready/excited to do a bunch of unrelated things to get to the top.

Pursuing a passion doesn't mean starting a business, being the best at something, or achieving a goal you've had since 1st grade. It might be realizing that you like going to the beach a lot, and then seeing if town hall is hiring for Parks and Rec groundskeepers. Maybe it turns out you love the community garden plots you end up working on, too.

Last note, it may be that you have to try a few jobs in order to find out what you do and don't like about each, and therefore what you're looking for in your ultimate career. This is another good reason to lower the stakes on your choice--it'll be just as helpful to figure out what you don't want to do with the first few experiments, and it may leave you with a constellation of job characteristics that point you in a specific direction. You find out you love spreadsheets and finding patterns in data, awesome, they need you anywhere. You find out you hate it and want to work completely offline? There's a massive shortage of trade workers. All info is good info here, and remember it's never too late for a pivot. Good luck!

I don't even know who this guy is, but I'll avoid him. The expression has been around a hundred years.

I'm Jewish, so unfortunately, Kanye has already taken me to death con 5. But I'm not sure if those are related.

 

I said that's ok, Doc, I prune up after just a few hours.
