It's days like this that I remember I'm _beyond useless_ and always will be

@OpenComputeDesign It's just because you are human, don't misinterpret it as something personal. We all are, reasons lost in a complicated and violent history.

Let's just take one step forward at a time, don't pay too much attention to powerful people taking a billion steps backward in all our names when your mental health is concerned.

@admitsWrongIfProven Maybe I'm not a useless person. But I'm certainly a useless tree feller.

@OpenComputeDesign Well, "useless" is not actually applicable to humans anyway if we want stuff like human rights. To not even one, including you, or the whole thing collapses.

If it is important to be good at felling trees depends a lot on if you and the people around you need trees felled and if enough others are good at it. If it is, i'd guess training would be more useful than self-flaggelation?

@admitsWrongIfProven I might be being over dramatic because after cutting down trees for a few months, My aim is still often off by like ~15-25 degrees.

@OpenComputeDesign Are you being instructed in a way you can understand, including in terms of how to achieve the correct angle? If not, maybe some weird old forum has instructions to dig out? Or some crusty old fella might know more than who taught you?

Both learning skat and how to shoot a bow had massive differences in instruction quality for me, with the first one seeming impossible until someone made some sense.
