I just wanted to let everyone know I may not be technologically gifted like youse but I can crochet a hat and make really good sandwiches. Ok.
There is a secret to being technologically gifted. Read the instruction manuals. n/k
Yeah but some things are better when they are physically shown in person.
that's why we also watch YT or have instructors if possible
You're my homey and all...but 'youse'?

I can make a good sandwich but not crochet a hat, so youβre one up on me.
I can knit socks and make acceptable sandwiches but Iβm not good at hats
