Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

Ngl setting my goals high is a large part of why I haven't achieved them

Set your goals lower to make them more achievable

[–] Glowstick 40 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

That's bad advice anyway.

  1. Set reasonably attainable goals, then once you've accomplished it set a new reasonably attainable goal.

  2. Frequently reassess whether the goal you originally set is still actually the goal you most want to be pursuing. Sometimes you set a goal and at some point later realize it isn't worth it or will never actually succeed, in which case you're much better off abandoning that goal so you can instead pursue a goal that will actually succeed.

And don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

Aim for the Moon.
At least if you miss, you'll end up among the stars, floating to the infinite without any chance of rescue, counting the hours for the oxygen to run out, wondering if it's better to just open the airlock, joining the void in an empty embrace.

Well, oxygen running out means you simply get unconscious after being unable to think straight, so a rather "warm" way to go.

Aiming for the moon only works if you don't get discouraged, injured or exhausted along the way.

Well, technically most of the way you don't have to do much on that journey, most of the effort is to get into Earth orbit.

I guess they also set their goal for wear on the ropes very high.

Set Goals, You're High

And don't you reach, Stop until them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Instructions unclear, I got high, what next?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Help I’m stuck in words and I can’t get up

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

I read the first as, "Set goals, and don't you [dare] reach [for them]" and the second as "Your high! Stop them ~~until~~". I actually blanked on the last one and had to read it a couple times until I fully processed what it said.

Edit: I don't know why I read the first one right-left, top-bottom and the second top-bottom, left-right.

No, your high. Not my high, yours.

This can’t possibly be a book bound like that. Is this on some kind of packaging material? What is this from?

It's on a wall
