Don't read this post its weird

You know, I’ve been thinking about how water inspires me. It’s strange, right? Something that isn’t even alive, inspiring us who are. But here’s what I mean:

Imagine the ocean this huge, powerful force. Its waves can wipe out anything in their way, and when it floods, it can destroy whole cities. There’s this sense of anger and raw power in it destruction and even death.

But then, think about water in a pond. It’s so calm and quiet, like it’s at peace with everything around it. It feels free, untouched by all the chaos. And when you look at water in a glass, it’s so still no smell, no taste, but it’s literally life itself.

Water can be solid like ice, flowing like liquid, or even rising up like clouds that drift above us and rest beneath our feet. It’s got this crazy mix of being powerful yet gentle, peaceful yet sometimes full of anger. Water is in everything, almost like it’s alive.

I guess I want to be like water calm and at peace most of the time, but with the strength to push back when needed.

What do you think aren’t we all a little like water?

I made the worst Unboxing video

I tried to make an unboxing video, but it sucks. I ordered this item three weeks ago for just $0.99, while someone else quoted me 600 birr for the same thing! Most of the items arrived in a plastic bag, and it looks like they might have been opened and resealed with tape before reaching the post office. I have also ordered AirPods for $1 and shoes for $0.99 😁 let's see how those turn out when they arrive

In one of MrBeast's videos, 100 Boys Vs 100 Girls For $500,000 (I love MrBeast, by the way), he split a group of boys and girls into two teams, each competing for a $500,000 prize. At one point, he gave both teams 100 Rubik's cubes, and the challenge was to see which team could solve all of them first. Out of 100 people on each team, only one boy and one girl could solve the Rubik's cube.

I was surprised by this because I thought more people would know how to solve it, given how popular puzzles and games are.

So, I'm guessing that in this channel, only 8 members might be able to solve it. I'll post a poll be honest with yourself, and let's see if my guess is correct!

@tiletsolution

For real? Okay, so I totally underestimated you guys or maybe some of you were just showing off! 😄 9 out of 31 responses can solve a Rubik’s cube? That’s wild! Should we throw a little contest for fun? What do you think? 😜

The Last of Us and the Trolley Problem

I’m assuming you’re either familiar with the ending of The Last of Us or you don’t plan on watching it, so I’ll dive right in. SPOILERS ahead.

In the season finale a scenario presents a modern twist on the classic Trolley Problem, introduced by Philippa Foot in 1967. This ethical dilemma asks if it’s acceptable to sacrifice one person to save many others. (The original scenario includes a “fat man,” which feels a bit harsh given the context.)

Would you choose to kill one person to save many others? If you don't, more people might die. What would you do in that situation?

We have something coming up... N K( @DrMosfet ) will show us solving a 7x7 Rubik's Cube (he'll upload the video). And as a reward, I’m ordering him AirPods directly from AliExpress. He’ll pick them up from the post office in about 20 days. I’ll share both the video and the ordering process soon!

You don’t always have to love what you do, but you should have a real reason for doing it. Think about eating do you eat because you love every meal? No, you eat to survive, even if the food isn’t your favorite. You push through because the goal is to stay alive, not starve.

So, when it comes to studying, working, or any task you don't enjoy, remember this: you don’t need to love it. Just focus on your reason for doing it. Whether it's to learn, to grow, or to achieve something bigger, that reason is what matters most.

@tiletsolution

He made it, but the video was too big like 2GB 😳 so we had to cut out some parts. But here it is: this genius solving a 7x7 Rubik’s Cube. I wish someone could solve my life like this, as if life could be solved by rotating it 😁. Anyway, watch the video, comment, and if there are more of you with this kind of talent, we’d love to see it! Just send me a video recording, and I’ll share it on the channel.

By the way, he sent it to me the same day, but because of 'መብራት 😫' , I couldn’t edit and post it right away. and also I kept my word as promised, and he can verify that in the comments.

About this 'መብራት ' issue if you know any free or affordable workspace please drop a comment.

I’m aware of ALX, Hubbits, and Creative Hub, but if you have other suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

So today, I had an online job interview where I was asked to fix some error messages. They gave me FTP access, and honestly, the errors weren't anything new to me I’ve encountered them plenty of times before. I thought, "I've got this job in the bag!"

But then reality hit. 😅 Between electricity issues and internet connection, I couldn't get much done. At one point, I even started losing hope. Instead of giving up, I tried downloading the entire project turns out it's a huge ERP system they bought from Envato. 😂 Now, I have the code base...who needs the job?

In the end, I had to tell them that I couldn’t get anything done and apologized for wasting their time. 😁

But it got me thinking how do you guys manage full-time online jobs? How did you land them, and what challenges did you face or are currently facing? I'd love to hear your stories!

This summer, one of my goals was to improve my reading skills, and I've been sticking to it by reading one book per week. But reading alone can feel a bit isolated. Wouldn't it be great if we had a group where we could reflect on what we've read, share our views, and exchange suggestions basically like a book club? When we read with the intention of teaching or discussing what we've learned, it can really motivate us and help us understand the material better.

So, here's what I'm thinking: I'll create a group where we can share what we've been reading, talk about what we've learned, give book suggestions, and read other people's perspectives. Even if you're not a regular reader, you might find yourself getting motivated to pick up a book.

Another idea I have is about sharing books. I prefer physical books over PDFs, but buying a new book every week at around 400 birr adds up. If we could exchange or sell books to each other, it could make things a lot more manageable. What do you think?

@tiletsolution

We’re so close! Just need 10 more votes to hit 30 and wrap this up. Right now, Read & Reflect Hub and BookBounders are almost tied. If you haven’t voted yet, now’s the time!

@tiletsolution

We’ve got 30 votes, and Read & Reflect Hub is our official group name!

Thanks a ton for being part of this. I’m not really into managing groups and channels, so I’m looking for 2 admins who love books and want to help create a great book club. If you’re interested, just DM me at @getahun_getu.

@tiletsolution

Also, we need a simple logo design! I know we’ve got some awesome designers here, and I’d love to see your work. I know it’s a big ask and might take up some of your valuable time, but we’d really appreciate it.

If you can create a logo for “Read & Reflect Hub” that reflects our motto, "Read, Reflect, and Connect," please DM me at @getahun_getu. you can include your username and portfolio along with the logo so I can share it with the group.

We used to say 'ህይወት አልጋ ባልጋ ናት' as an affirmation years ago... They told us to repeat it over and over until it happens or manifests. I know most of you are familiar with this. Well, now I've spent most of my life in bed because of CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). So, I guess the manifestation worked 😁.

Just kidding 🤣it's not because of the affirmation. Sometimes, life just throws challenges at you. But seriously, be mindful of what you tell yourself.

And hey, don't even think about saying you started reading because you couldn't do anything else 😔. I’ll hear you!
