Hard to argue with. I'm 28 and work at a warehouse and the guys I'm friendly with on a surface level just to kinda be personable will say some shockingly homophobic and misogynistic things if you listen to them talk long enough. Like I can't be friends with these guys, not really.
Conversely, I met this really cool guy the other day at a rockhound meet up who was super chill and left. He goes diving for jade in Big Sur and was super into scallops so I traded him some marine shell fossil conglomerates and lapidary slabs and polished agate nodules for chunks of jade and some weed. Me and my partner just vibed with him and his buddy and it was great. Guys that cool are few and far between unfortunately.
Edit: missing preface being that you’re probably right but there used to be a satisfying if not effective form of redress to make them shit the fuck up
It used to be socially acceptable to fight a man if one felt he was crossing a line. These days that’s still true in some cases. Not enough.
Like, honor societies had many many problems, but god damn I have some chuds coworkers I would legitimately duel for things they’ve said about women and me (fully closeted at work, present fully masc and don’t discuss dating at all).
Nm, I was wrong about thought I said duel for some reason. You’re right, getting beat up sucks I’ve had that before and didn’t care for it. Luckily these dudes are unhealthy af. Like not making it to 65 unless they make changes.
I'd make it legal for you to fight those guys. I'd just wanna close that door after. If anyone can fuel anyone, at least one of them may have a grandkid thst would vendetta you and you'd have to make him sail to America and become The Godfather.
A non lethal blood feud would be kinda fun. Like you keep ordering food to the other person's house or doing a drive by water balloon right when they're going into work. I've also always wanted a nemesis for similar reasons. I'd like my problems to mostly come from one person who's nsmr I can yell while shaking my fist in the air like a Hannah Barbara character.
Thats a fun idea. Especially if it’s not actually a deep seated or one sided thing. Like a give and take where one day they ruin a minor thing and the other day you come out on top. Never actually serious shit like cuttting brake lines.
Maybe under socialism we can have a consensual tinder app for friendly rivalries.
Ignore the cover, this man in question is 3-4 inches taller and 100+ pounds heavier + he smokes + he has a meat heavy diet (works in the deli and gets lots of freebies). He’d have a coronary trying to run the same mile as me let alone a combat situation
Oh it was so cool. It was the 48th annual Stoddard Wells Rockhound Tailgate put on by the Victor Valley Gem and Mineral Club in California. 3 days of buying, selling, and trading rocks, gems, minerals, and fossils out in the Mojave Desert. You don't even have to vend you can just camp and hang out. Look at cool rock collections during the day and smoke weed around the camp fire under the stars at night. Can't wait to go again next year
the guys I'm friendly with on a surface level just to kinda be personable will say some shockingly homophobic and misogynistic things if you listen to them talk long enough
One of the biggest reasons I quit my job in a male-dominated trade was the casual racism and sexism that they would drop like it was normal. Like we'd just be talking about whatever random bullshit we were on and they'd just spew some racist bullshit and continue on like nothing. I was cordial with the guys there but I still happily took a massive pay cut to work in a less male dominated workplace

I don't think this has gotten substantially worse since the 1950s or whenever there wasn't a "male loneliness epidemic".

Being able to legally fight is not a good call. It's really dangerous
You’re right, of course. I’m just venting. It would be satisfying though daydreamcloud.jpg
Until you get beat up

I welcome the blood fued, I don’t plan on having kids. Send me your descendants Chud! /joke
Thanks for the cool headedness/ letting me vent a bit. I need the job too much to do/say anything really and it sucks

Chuds actually think they could survive 5 minutes, let alone actually win, a civil war. The second they have to run into cover, they're dead.

as a former geology nerd and still stoner damn that meetup sounds cool af

Did The Stones play, man?
Queens of the Stone Age actually
Stone Temple Pilots as well?
That sounds dope I love the desert, so beautiful
i don't think i understood a word of this after 'other day', and that fucking rocks. the dudes are alright, if they're into... uhhh geology i think
Focus on the cool guy and drop the chuds like dead weight on a sinking ship.
