the vast majority of diy an average person needs in their life for basic maintenance is absolutely dogshit easy
if you have like 5 hand tools and a can-do attitude congrats. youve solved 90% of your home maintenance problems. theres no need to ask and wait for other ppl to do it for you, or got forbid pay out the ass for maintenance guys. this is my universal advice for city dwellers
actually im not done. the 5 hand tools are a claw hammer, a screwdriver (the kind with swappable bits), combination pliers, an adjustable wrench, and a tape measure. now all you need is a phone with internet. go to yt and type in “how to do x”. watch a 5 min video showing you how to do it. do it. congrats. you are now the handyman of the house and the world is your oyster
obligatory disclaimer for the piss on the poor website though. dont fuck with electricity if you dont know what youre doing, and save plumbing issues for later when youre not so green anymore. ok now go and be free
discord’s new terms of service DO have a mandatory arbitration clause for the United States and Canada, you have 30 days to opt out by emailing an opt out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com. this has been your standard “for the love of god do not waive your right to a jury trial under any circumstances” notice
Here is a quick link to the new (Sept 29, 2025) arbitration clause and informal dispute resolution info. When they originally began implementing in 2018 Discord clarified your opt-out email doesn’t need to follow any kind of template, but there are several options in the notes of this post. One thing I haven’t seen anyone add is to make sure you’re emailing from the email linked to your discord account. If you’ve already agreed to the terms of service you can still do this, and you’ve already opted out you probably should do it again just to err on the side of caution.
