I like making things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I don’t see failure as failure; I see it as progress. Interests include space/rockets, keyboards, and other niche things.

Shoutout to the most versatile 'scissors'(electrician's snips) I have ever used. They are my go-to for just about anything. (lemmy.world)

[Klein Tools Model #2100-9] Wire stripper notches are especially useful sometimes. I’ve beaten on this pair quite a bit and they still cut like they’re brand new. I also have the non-stainless version, but I prefer the stainless.

I made this utility bike trailer. It's not perfect, but it's solid and does the job. (imgur.com)

I messed up on the stain, but it’s one of my first woodworking projects that I have used stain on, so it’s a learning project. It started as one of those child/pet carrier bike trailers. I removed everything but the bare frame and wheels and built it up with wood. It weighs 40lbs, which isn’t great, but I have an ebike...

Well, ok, but you’d think he’d at least talk to me first? If he genuinely had an issue with it, I would value our friendship enough to stop.

Well, at the end of the day the students I did homework for still need to write their tests and exams on their own. They still earned their grades.

Edit: Ok, ok. I won’t justify it any further. I guess majority here conclude that it was a serious offence. I believe you.

As time goes on, I’d rather not think about him at all, but for the rare times that I do, I would want to laugh it off, because his way of bragging is actually kind of funny.

The irony is that the students that I did homework for graduated, and I didn’t

Thanks. I’m not trying to boost my ego here when I say this, but I have a lot more experience with Engineering and CAD modelling than he does. Pretty sure he feels threatened.

He has his formal piece of paper and his formal job, which I suppose outranks my outside-of-school experience, because it’s proper and formal.

I tutored as well.

I think I can almost remember the exact day that he shifted. We were talking about our previous girlfriends and he very openly bragged that he’s slept with better looking women than I have (I’m not like that). He kept talking about it over and over that day, I could see he was getting a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Before this, he was a different person. Overall good morals, good friend for the most part, rarely put me down.

It was very sudden.

It was also about the time he started to drink really heavily, but that might not be directly related.

You’re right. It’s hard not to take things personally sometimes, but I guess learning to not care so much about what others think is something that can improve with practice.

@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

I guess I could have, eh. I did end up getting in trouble for it. I had a research job that they fired me from.

tonystark29,
@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you. That makes sense.

tonystark29,
@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. If he approaches me in person, I’m not going to pretend he’s my friend and stroke his batshit crazy ego, I’m going to treat him neutrally but not entertain him.

He has dyslexia.

tonystark29,
@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

Correct

@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

At one time, yes we were friends, and I believed that we had mutual respect. That all changed one random day, and he just lost all respect for me.

tonystark29,
@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

Yes he has deleted Facebook messages he sent me on many occasions. Luckily I take screenshots.

tonystark29,
@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

And I will have a good life :)

tonystark29,
@tonystark29@lemmy.world avatar

Would you report a valued friend for the same thing? Honestly, I’m curious. Maybe I’m out of touch.

tonystark29,

This is only the second or third time that I’m talking about it with anyone else. I didn’t know it was this serious.
