Man I Don't Even Know
The problem with me being a writer is that I'm too stupid to understand 99.99% of things that happen in this world. Sometimes I read science writing in particular where I'm like, "I admire the craft of your sentence structure and the precision of your vocabulary, but I have no idea what you're talking about." Instead of being able to write, I often wish I had an actually useful skill, like fixing cars or installing drywall, but alas.
ETA: The context for this is me spending two hours trying to figure out carbon offsetting, and specifically why it's a scam. I understand the bits about money laundering just fine, but I don't understand how the science is supposed to work. I can't even figure out whether in fact the science was ever supposed to work tbh.
Anyway here's a random photo of some nice apple pie, which is about the level I'm on right now.
