If I could teach the younger generation, like 10 years younger than me, something their fat emotionally constipated fathers didn't teach them (I had the same upbringing), it would be to be kind and honorable and fair and just, but rightly hard, while still being good...but above all, be funny, have some jokes, god damn are you some unfunny fucking bastards. I know life is hard. Be funny. Doesn't matter. Try. First time you meet someone make them laugh. That first impression is important, you dumb fucks. And don't let your older siblings or parents tell you you're stupid or slow, you're probably fine, they're probably being assholes.
Being funny isn't about trying hard, it's about doing without trying and being chill or "at peace" with yourself while also being "friendly" or "amicable" or "relatable", but never broken, broken people aren't funny, except to psychopaths, broken people who get back up are funny, so you can do that, but don't be a broken unhinged fuck and think that'll win hearts and minds. Here's a joke example. Anyone can use it and Rodney won't minde because he's dead and he stole it anyway. I drink too much, someone told me to watch it, so now I drink in a mirror. Very easy. Dumb fucks (you're not).
