Blade's toast. Check the arbor for bends first.

Had a friend who got way too into one of those shows. Started defending the main character's worst calls. @the_sandra, that clever trick you mentioned is so real.

Seriously, but what if being nice just gets you walked over like @ben_jenkins61 said?

Have you ever watched a friend stress over coding style until it ruins their fun? My buddy Sam had this exact thing happen, his older brother taught him to always use list comprehensions in Python. But then Sam tried some online exercises where for loops were the standard way, and it confused him so much they had a huge fight. The thing is, both methods work, and tutorials exist because there's more than one path to solve a problem. Family help is solid, but online resources show a wider range of real world examples. In the end, Sam learned to use both and now he codes without worrying who's right.

Three new blends at once? That's a lot. Hope their food is actually good now.
