    I agree with learning or joining an apprenticeship but totally disagree with the sentiment “be an adult, take 5 mins to diagnose and 20 mins labour.” Even the tenner for parts is presumptuous.

    Just to be clear as well, Im not one of those stupid cucks you mentioned, I just know DIY repairs might not be as straight forward as you make it out. Of course internet access would make it easier, some people don’t have the capacity to learn things that way. Aside from that some repairs require wildly expensive equipment to complete it.

    You basically just generalised putting up a shelf or something for making any repair you want at home instead of asking for help which is kinda crazy because the average person is a lot more dangerous than we give them credit for.

    All it takes is for someone to decide that an electrical problem doesn’t need a professional, do it wrong, and burn their house down, and their neighbours or maybe a block of flats.

        I’ve got plenty of experience in trades and can do all jobs myself. It’s very presumptuous of you, to think I was talking about myself but so far you’ve made presumptions about people in general.

        Maybe you need the due diligence to realise just because you can, even with a bullshit cocky attitude, not everyone can. Some people have disabilities or learning difficulties (or both) that prevent them from “being an adult” as you so nicely put it. So instead of recognising people with these difficulties you just decide to belittle them as useless children that need us to carry them.

        Here’s an idea, look it up, maybe you’ll learn something. What’s more likely is that you’ll fight doing the research because of excuses.

                I love the fact that you think you know anything about my technical abilities or self image. The ignorance is palpable.

                I never noticed you offer any help either, in fact, I’d say your initial comment lacked decency by belittling people who aren’t independent. I just brought it up that people who need assistance are still adults as much as you and infantilising them isn’t the decent thing to do but your ego didn’t like that.

                    Again with the ignorance. If you knew the slightest detail about me it’d be fine but it’s easy to see your inflated ego is telling you that you’re right no matter what, even when the truth is you haven’t actually got any idea whatsoever, so good one.

                    I’d try to make a Disney name for you but why stab in the dark for someone I know nothing about 😉

                    Anyway, I dismissed you earlier so feel free to stop making a fool of yourself at any point.
