Sick lol.

Russians gotta have their counter strike 😏

I loved the show but McNulty was prob my least favorite character. It's like they tried to force him to be likeable too much, and he suffers from early 2000s drama TV tropes a bit too much. He's not the worst TV character I've ever seen or anything, but I did not really want to laugh along with his "crazy lovable guy" cop antics I guess

This was the best season of The Wire

I just woke up and thought that lime and leaves and cup was a little guy waving.

I feel this perspective. When I used to work for GE in 2015, I was on second shift. Our "working hours" was 3-11:30. But everyone worked so much overtime, it was more like 3-12:30 or 1. Then when we were on mandatory 10's, it was 4-2:30 AM every day, to allow day shift to work later. I just embraced the silliness of it all and would go home and drink on my front stoop in the dead of night til 5 AM. That was what helped me through those times, I just treated after work like how I do now, leisure and chores, except it was in the middle of the night lol. I am glad to get off second shift now tho, I've been working like 6AM - 3:30 for close to a decade. When I worked nights was before I met my fiance so I had a lot of solitary time and got to know myself a lot better

Most roofers don't tie off.

When I got my chimney repaired, the guy walked across the peak of the roof, not even holding onto anything, like he was walking down the street.

Not trying to deflect blame on the workers, and I'm not sure what else the company is responsible for, but occupational safety is often an afterthought to folks who work a trade. You should see some of the shit people pull working on live power in maintenance departments at big industrial sites like steel mills.

Get wrekt

I post as I still have problems with Wayland on Arch lmao

This isn't exactly a big revelation or anything.

I built machinery for plastics recycling for 7 years. The plastics producers were extremely picky about what could be ground down into pellets to be evacuated to the beginning of the injection molding process. To my knowledge, about 99% of what was being "recycled" as they call it, were "in-house" plastics. Basically material that never leaves the manufacturing facility it's created in. This could be just about anything that doesn't meet QA standards. So like, your product has a big bulge in it, or it's the wrong density, color, etc. I've seen our granulators in action when I did service, and you wouldn't believe how much needs to be re-made. There was a dude with a sawzall who's whole job was to cut the tops off these big containers, and load them in the granulator. 3 shifts in a row there was someone doing this, 24/7.

This is getting beside the point but I do know that a little bit of the wrong color dye getting into the granulator would ruin the whole batch, and it would go to waste. So no, there's no way that big piles of random garbage are getting turned back into re-usable plastics, unless the recycling facilities are doing something different or have some sort of equipment I'm not aware of. I know they don't buy any granulators.

It's a bit of an open secret in my county that al recycling goes to the dump anyway. They don't even try for easy stuff like cardboard. Same as a lot of places in the US.

Relatable.

The CEO of our 401k company just embezzled millions out of 17 companies' plans.

Luckily we weren't one that was affected.

But goddamn how can you be that evil

I applied to 12, got like 6 callbacks I think, 3 interviews. One was no offer, other offer was too low, last one I took.

Trades are just different I guess.

Becomes king

Fucking dies

Lmaooo

Men will not fight the class war, workers will fight the class war. Men are the reactionary force against it because we live in a patriarchal society and that means men control the means of production and they will offer up women as property when there’s no more land, wages, or social mobility to be taken

I'm sorry but wtf are you on it about? Men are half the population, and half of the working class.

Men do not control the means of production, owners do. I have no idea what you're getting at with this comment either.

My vice president 😍

The man is alive and in the same position. He's also said women are unreliable to give testimony in court or serve in armed forces, that gay people should be treated as "ill or disabled people", and that Palestinian attackers should be treated as animals and not human beings.

I had no problems at all as recently as this year. I think I was playing over the summer

Were you involved in making OpenMW? That's so cool

Ok what the fuck is this garbage?

Bisexual men take more risks because of... genes? And that makes more bisexual men because of... unprotected sex? What is this, Goebbels 101?

I have difficulty even wrapping my head around the notion that there's anything at all that makes someone gay or bi from birth, and I say that as a gay man. Implying that it's at all related to the sexuality of your father is extra insulting and dehumanizing.

I don't know what it is, but I love talking on the phone. I'm more of an introverted person, so it might be because I'm not talking face to face, or because there's a set purpose for the conversation the whole time, but I'm one of the few (maybe only) people I know who actively love chatting on the phone. Sometimes I'll call my one friend, usually about something home improvement or maintenance related, and we'll chat for over an hour. I think since it's becoming more and more rare and less of a necessity also plays into why I enjoy it haha.

Dog if you're thinking about moving, come to the best small-town vines rust belt city that has the lowest cost of living in the US, where I was born and raised, Pittsburgh. I love this city to death and it has deep working class roots. I bought an 1800 sq ft, 4 bedroom home that was built in 1890 for $160k in 2020. I've been renovating it for the past few years and still got a ways to go but it's coming together beautifully.

For what it's worth, our rent is still well below the national average, and I love this city to death. It's small, but not too small, but not too large, everybody seems to know everybody, and there's always always something to do. The geography and nature and rivers really forced this city's hand a few hundred years ago where now everything is just built around and into mountainsides and deep woods, highways and roads and everything is a snarling maze of studio Ghibli elden ring on ketamine and I wouldn't want it any other way
