Is it an apology though?
Somewhere there’s a line where an apology feels disingenuous because it is ignorant enough to be indistinguishable from insult.
We wouldn’t accept an unsolicited dickpic, even when motivated with something like “Oh, I just assumed since you ticked Woman that you’d leave the negotiation to your father, and I just wanted to show you don’t have to worry about the outcome. I’m raised traditional like that.”
It is technically an apology, but also even more insulting.
Break a project down into two week sprints?
And/or adjust your tempo to account for making stuff sustainable in both amount of novelty, intensity and progression.
Finding ways to get past the two week inspiration high is much of what makes an interest different from a hobby.
I appreciate the answer, but I’m afraid I disagree on several points.
I will give one thing to start off with, yes the premise is dumb, that’s why it’s a humorous meme.
instead of saying “the bible isn’t proof that god exists the same way a physics book in itself isn’t proof that physics exist, but we can observe and replicate physics experiments in a way that gives us high confidence that our understanding of the laws of physics is sound”
I’d argue this is exactly what the meme says. The meme as format is a much simplified rehash of the argument, more of a reference than an actual argumentation. It conveys the frustration of having to rehash a long debunked argument in a humorous nod to those who’ve had to live them and repeat them many times. This is btw probably why you’re getting the reactions you are in this thread, the meme isn’t the argument itself. On the other hand it gets reposted because there’s always someone who gets tripped up, and the exercise of rehashing it might illuminate them or another reader.
the spider-man (respect the hyphen) comics aren’t proof of spider-man’s existence because they make zero effort to prove spider-man exists. like that’s not even a concern of the book, how bad are you at analogies… you can make the same argument instead with something like the secret.
What effort does the Bible or any book make to prove their characters’ existence? I’d argue it’s to post claims you can verify. Claims like descriptions of places and events. Spiderman comics are quite easily verified as many of the locations and events described can be investigated in person, or corroborated through photos, video, independent reports.
Or is the linchpin that the Spiderman comics don’t explicitly claim that they are true? Would your view change if someone had written and underlined “Truth!” in one of them? I’d argue it shouldn’t, just claiming something’s true doesn’t make it so, they could be mistaken or lying.
funnily enough the quran works as an argument against the bible since christians ostensibly believe in the bible but not the quran even though there are vast similarities.
I entirely agree, and this is the part of the meme the atheists are secretly smug about.
Let me try to rephrase the argument the meme makes and see if it clicks.
If the Bible is proof that God exists (as many Christians believe).
And the Quran is proof that god/Allah exists (as many Muslims believe).
Then spiderman comics are proof that Spider-man exists (which many Christians and Muslims disbelieve).
Either you believe all three are true, or you don’t believe the existence of the book makes it true.
You’re entirely right, yet also entirely missing the point.
The proof of Physics existing isn’t in the book, and no physicist would claim you take what’s in the book on faith, nor that it’s unquestionable, nor that other books on physics are lies, nor kill/lynch/shun people for studying the universe through other perspectives like chemistry or mathematics or biology.
Asked for proof of Physics, physicists make predictions that can be reliably reproduced, not telling you to read the Physics book harder.
Regardless, everyone is new sometime, why not provide links, a counter argument or anything useful rather than just deriding them? This way you mostly come off as an ass who doesn’t understand the argument.

Wow, this is an exemplary explanation. Being clear with several levels of cultural knowledge as well as the emotional load behind several meanings and juxtapositions, and still comes across with the humor unscathed.
I dream to one day attain such mastery.
Wohoo, blazing into the future!
Welcome to the 70s - an exciting decade for infrastructure! You can now look forward to the coming of planned denser suburbs with modern apartment blocks, local parks, museums, sports facilities, town square and offices. Planned water, sewerage, power for the whole suburbs, including beatification of associated utilities and waterfronts!
Maybe you’ll get some of the newfangled technical marvels of tram or subway between suburbs and city as well!
We can only hope - and look to the future!
They’re rare to be sure, maybe you start collecting them whenever you play with new people and organise a recurring Crunchy Game Night?
We currently manage about 1 crunchy game night/month
Not only does it spread aggressively through its roots, but it also grafts onto almost anything. The roots connect to other plants and create new hybrid mints.
60 cm is the actual number, which makes it much too real for me…
It smells of disinformation as it presents several differing views and conclusions. Entirely in accordance with Russian disinformation tactics both domestic and international.
The tool is to bombard with enough contradictory truths that one has to choose a subset and reject the others, or give up in the face of the constant flood.
Wow, this is a confused garble of loaded opinion.
It also reeks of Russian disinformation tactics.

It’s also a super common ND thing, you might have utility of looking up their strategies for dealing with it?
But from my own experience, I have those two weeks to find something satisfying to do with the hobby, as well as figure out where it will fit in my life for the next 6 weeks or so, before I get bored with it and can’t pick it up again for at least a year. I’ve had to become very proficient in finding just enough materials, as well as getting rid of them, to not ruin me or drown in hoarded materials.
I’m also prone to taking on too many projects at once, having a two week quarantine period saves me an embarassing lot of times.
