advice for EVERYONE

a) stop using words you don't understand... eg retraction, revert.
b) ban babies, big ones too.
c) at first you've got these romantic ideas like you're an eagle or lion, but you are domesticated, so you may as well own yourself or someone else will.
d) when you are finally covering your own ass and pulling your own weight, start complaining, it's not a privilege or a right, it's your final responsibility.
