    I agree with learning or joining an apprenticeship but totally disagree with the sentiment “be an adult, take 5 mins to diagnose and 20 mins labour.” Even the tenner for parts is presumptuous.

    Just to be clear as well, Im not one of those stupid cucks you mentioned, I just know DIY repairs might not be as straight forward as you make it out. Of course internet access would make it easier, some people don’t have the capacity to learn things that way. Aside from that some repairs require wildly expensive equipment to complete it.

    You basically just generalised putting up a shelf or something for making any repair you want at home instead of asking for help which is kinda crazy because the average person is a lot more dangerous than we give them credit for.

    All it takes is for someone to decide that an electrical problem doesn’t need a professional, do it wrong, and burn their house down, and their neighbours or maybe a block of flats.
