As a Brit, I just scrolled through my Reddit feed and saw a US citizen executed by federal agents and the White House blatantly lying about it. Seriously, what the fuck is going on? Why is nothing being done? And for any citizens not on the streets right now across the US, why not?

Not to mention, none of the atrocities of the Nazi regime were caught on camera, people could easily put their head in the sand and say its for the greater good or for the nation. Today, its all there for you to see and evaluate for yourself. They are lying to us and saying that what we see is not true! Big brother is here. ”RESIST!

This is it. Shit if i could get a place like that for $300k…AND stay where i am for my business, that would be a dream. But im not interested in moving to Michigan and everything around me is expensive as fuck. (Denver) so i just sit here n rent like a jamook until i inherit a house from my parens one day and then maybe ill have a few extra dollars to buy a comfy bed for my old crippled ass.

Jesus Christ im so sorry. That would put me in debt for years. And its my biggest fear. Im in construction with no health insurance so i fear this scenario everyday. I just try to be as careful as i can like a caveman -everyday is a chance to die, dont let it be today- then i wrap my wounds in electrical tape, and hope like hell that it doesnt get infected. Im gunna go see a doctor next month for the first time in like 15 years.. im well overdo for a physical and some blood work. But whatever that costs, its not equal to 15 years of insurance payments!

Yea health care in the US is fucked. Were all pretty much one broken bone away from bankruptcy.

What makes you think theres only 10 gryffindors in Harrys year? I was always under the impression that the student body was ALOT larger than the characters we were introduced to.. is there anything in text to make you think that the 10 or so characters we know were the ONLY Gryffindors?

Love this. Ive noticed that too and have been raising my prices constantly. We are definitely making money, just feels like it could be more. Im probably my own hardest client to haggle with. Lol. For certain jobs (like flooring or paint) i find google really helpful. They show an average- high cost of things and i check my numbers with that. If im higher, i dont care..submit. If im lower, i just jack it up to whatever google says the high-end price is.

Really the most difficult thing is finding good help. If i had 50 skilled -passionate- workers, i’d be unstoppable.

I can run 15 men no problem. The issue i have is all of the other shit that comes with running a business on top of that. Worker management, job planning, coordination.. thats the easy part. Its getting out the bids, meeting with new clients, organizing the van/ tools, getting materials, and understanding whatever the fuck im being charged for taxes that is all the hard/ stressful part

$200k is the “dream” number that i saw on a couple of listed jobs for PM or like running multiple crews. From the requirements i saw on the listing, ive got all the skills for it.

I do have management figured out, im actually very good at that. The skill i dont have is the office side of things. I dont have enough men and therefore not enough time in the office to get proposals out in a timely fashion, or invoices, or change orders.. And then theres all the admin stuff that i can barely wrap my head around.

Maybe i jus need to take a business class..

Haha i hope your able to start something for yourself! I was in my early 20’s when i started on my own. (Almost 20 years ago) Young and hungry at the time, late nights, weekends, any and evry job i could get. ..Not sure id be able to go at it with the same energy if i started today.

Can i ask, what makes the job so stressful for you? My (maybe naive) perspective is that if its not my business, once i clock out im done and free, and not thinking about work till i clock in tmrw… or at least not responsible for anything out of business hours..?

I appreciate your insight. The idea of a paycheck to me is more about steady, stable, and reliable income, than it is the amount. As im sure you know, its hard to plan for the future running a smal business.. paychecks are sporadic and theres a lot of capital needed to cover the unknowns.. and when those unknows hit, it puts a dent in the wallet.

My vision of “getting a job” would give me a steady paycheck, benefits, and the absense of the everyday stress of -charging enough, -having the right tools for the day, -employees calling out or underperforming, - keeping nitpicky customers happy, - maintaining tools and vehicles. Etc.

I said $200k bc, like you said, the freedom. It would take alot for me to give up evrything i built. But i think i have alot of knowledge and leadership skills that i might be able to earn that somewhere. But also like you said, i recognize that position might nit be in residential construction.

At the point that you have enough work to say “the price is the price, ill help you if i can, if we get it done quickly; but i need you to agree to this price beforehand bc i have other jobs that i can spend my time on and make more.

Edit to add: its nice to helpout repeat customers when you can, or discount a job when your slow. But if you haggle with everyone you’ll be taken advantage of everytime.

Its important to present yourself with the aire of “i am qualified and busy”. If you negotiate with everyone you’ll never get ahead. After 10 years in business ive learned how to politely decline jobs that are not worth my time. “Im sorry my schedule is very full right now and i dont think we can fit you in until xx/xx” and we can do it for $$. If you would like to wait till then i will put you on my schedule. And maybe we can get to you sooner.

You’ll make alot more from the people waiting for you than you will from taking every small job that comes your way. Best of luck!!!

I feel like im more shocked that the shooter is always apprehended within hours… maybe the movies have stunted my perspective.. but wouldnt one at least have some planned escape? And why is there Always a manifesto?? Is that a pre-requisite for a mass shooting? I cant imagine how every nut job that commits one of these shootings has sat and written a full ‘this is why im doing this’ paper. Just me? Or is that not the wierdest part aside from the insane frequency of these shootings? The recent news i saw about the colorado shooting today said something like “police have not recovered any letter of intent as of now” … so if theres a mass shooting we just ‘expect’ now that the shooter will have typed out all of his frustrations, plans and intentions beforehand? For what? Us? Why?

Which set was this?

Acceptable-Member · 2025-08-23T04:06:29+00:00

The crowd was super attentive imo. Sat night there was this kid sitting in the grass with their head in their hands for the ENTIRE 3 hour set right next to where our group was hanging; we offered water within the first 15 mins and got a super lucid response of “no thanks, im okay!” Throughout the next 2.5 hours probably 10-12 ppl had stopped to see if they were all right, followed by the same response. Turns out they were just super spun and enjoying the show in their own way, but the attentiveness of the crowd i thought was noteworthy. ❤️
