Competence Ass Hole
You know this person.
The manager who rolls their eyes when you ask a question.
The gamer barking orders because they’re “carrying.”
The parent acting like disagreement is disrespect.
The expert who stopped teaching and started sneering.
Competence is a good thing.
Skill SHOULD carry influence.But some people become just competent enough to develop contempt for those who aren’t there yet.
That’s the Competence Ass Hole.
Not someone who’s merely cocky.
But someone whose perceived competence slowly erodes their patience, humility, and regard for others.You see it when:
- explanations become sighs
- guidance becomes humiliation
- confusion becomes “stupidity”
- and “common sense” starts appearing every five minutes
The irony?
Many Competence Ass Holes aren’t even as skilled as they think they are.
Their impatience often comes from fragility—not mastery.
Because truly competent people usually explain things BETTER, not worse.
Real expertise tends to create:
- patience
- nuance
- adaptability
- better teaching
Not shallow dismissal.
The deeper someone truly understands something, the more they usually remember what it felt like to NOT understand it.
And if someone’s “expertise” completely collapses the moment they’re asked questions…
they may not be nearly as competent as they think.
Real competence doesn’t bully confusion.
It guides it.
Competence Ass Hole violates:
2) Thou Shalt Be Ignorant
They forget what it feels like to not know.4) Thou Shalt Be Unresourceful
Instead of teaching clearly, they resort to dismissal and ego.6) Thou Shalt Make Improper Assumption
They assume others should understand immediately.7) Thou Shalt Misrepresent
They mistake competence in one area for superiority as a person.10) Thou Shalt Have Indecent Regard for Others
They use perceived expertise as justification for contempt. -

The Financial Milestones You Never Heard Of
When people think of financial milestones, they jump straight to the clichés— becoming a millionaire, retiring early, never worrying about money, doing whatever you want whenever you want.
Big, vague, distant.
But real progress doesn’t happen in giant leaps. It happens in smaller, concrete shifts—moments where money starts to feel different.
When your savings actually mean something. When your income shows up without effort. When your choices quietly expand.
These are the milestones that matter— the ones you can feel, the ones that change how you live.

The Truth of Boiled Eggs
Boiling eggs should be simple.
Water. Eggs. Heat. Done.
But somehow this turned into a ritual.
Poke the shell. Don’t poke it. Add vinegar. Add baking soda. Shake it. Stir it. Whisper to it.So I tried all of it.
I poked holes. Stirred. Tried to center the yolk. Used older eggs. Then compared it to a brand new egg I left completely alone.
The result wasn’t close.
The “optimized” egg looked like absolute ass. Uneven. Overworked.
The untouched egg came out smooth, clean, and sliced perfectly.
No tricks. No drama.
That’s when it clicked.
Boiling eggs isn’t as controlled as people think. It’s not random, but it’s way noisier than people admit. And when something is noisy, people start inventing rituals to feel in control.
After all that, only a few things actually held up.
Cook time is the only variable that behaves like it should.
Seven to eight minutes gets you jammy. Nine to ten is set but still creamy. Eleven to twelve is fully cooked. Go past that and you’re in chalky, green-ring territory.
If your water doesn’t cover the eggs, put a lid on. Steam finishes the job without messing up your timing.
Ice bath immediately. Otherwise the egg keeps cooking and your timing means nothing.
Older eggs do have a bigger air pocket. But that just makes the egg uglier, not easier to peel.
If you care about presentation, cut with dental floss. Cleaner, sharper, no yolk drag.
Everything else? Underwhelming.
Poking holes didn’t matter. Shaking was inconsistent. Stirring wasn’t reliable. Vinegar and baking soda barely moved the needle.
This whole category is full of false precision.People think if they stack enough little tricks together, they’ll get a perfect result. But most of those tricks don’t control anything important.
The only real strategy is to control what’s consistent. Time. Heat. Cooling.
And then stop messing with the egg.
The more I tried to control it, the worse it got.Most of these “tips” aren’t solutions.
They’re just things to do while you wait. -
Aconchego
Funny thing — this isn’t theoretical for me.
Sometimes my fiancée and I get hit with that random, unexplained anxiety.
Nothing wrong. Nothing to fix. No trigger we can point to.So one of us will just say (or yell):
“I NEED LOVE AND ATTENTION.”
We kiss.
We hold each other’s faces.
Full attention. No talking.About 30 seconds later, the anxiety is gone.
Then one of us goes:
“Ok… you can leave now.”
😂
No insight gained.
No problem solved.
Just a nervous system that got what it asked for and clocked out.If this works for babies…
and it works for adults…Maybe a lot of “unexplained anxiety” isn’t fear at all.
Maybe it’s just the body asking for aconchego.
