I don't mean to unnecessarily gender this discussion. Gender here doesn't matter. But I'm going to use gendered words as they fit the context. I want everyone's opinion.

My dad died from bronchial cancer two days before my 12th birthday. I had to learn how to be a 'man' from my ill mother.

What I want to know is, if you had to import some wisdom to preteen me, about the fundamentals of life, what would it be?

I've barely learned to shave (and prefer a beard anyway). What can you teach me Hexbear?

I'm 32 by the way. I'm just curious.

  • wash your ass.
  • wash behind your ears.
  • if you're not gonna shave your face, learn to trim your beard and keep it groomed.
  • get a bidet. wash your ass.
  • if you rely heavily on something (car, small engines, computer, class 4 trailer hitch), learn about it and how to maintain it as best as you can or at least how to diagnose it's failure.
  • never stop washing your ass.

this is excellent advice

This is the kind of advice I can endorse.

Also, wash your feet. Just standing in dirty soapy water is not the same as washing your feet.
