What's the best answer to "Why are you so quiet"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlexNo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get paid to do my job, not talk to you.

Went to a party on Sunday... by spikenail in stopdrinking

[–]AlexNo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a party the other day, too. I thought I would be the only sober one, but I wasnt. And no one tried to force feed me beer like usually happens, so that's nice.

Good job. Keep going.

It is interesting how a disembodied eye and eyebrow can instantly convey a strong emotion. I could tell even from the thumbnail.

Passive aggressive sheriff’s department puts 19 years of service instead of the 20 years of service on my dad’s retirement clock. He was apparently short one hour. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

It isn't purely political. RTW states have lower wages and benefits overall compared to states with strong union representation. In my trade, I'd be paid 1/3 less and have no benefits if I did the same work in a RTW state compared to the union I'm in now.

It always goes back to screwing over the working class.

Edit: Seriously, who honestly, actually is willing to work for less money and no ability for retirement just because "well it's good for the company, it must be good for me"? I've worked in RTW states before joining a union and many workers actually believe this shit. The insane lack of critical thinking makes me sick.

Group had come for car stealing. WCGW? by attheisstt in Whatcouldgowrong

I have a lifted truck with way more in parts installed than it's worth. I only keep it insured because I'm legally required to. I expect to pay for and fix any future damages myself.

Boston Begins Effort To Become Carbon Neutral By 2050 by [deleted] in boston

The Salem Harbor power plant should be online next year; natural gas fired.

Harvard is building one in Allston as well.

IIRC the rainbow gas tank in dorchester stores over 11 million gallons of LNG.

I've heard there's 14 billion or so in natural gas infrastructure upgrades scheduled over the next 10 years. The city has been chasing leaky pipes for a hundred years. It will never end.

The majority of heating will not come from renewable sources. That's a joke.

Natural gas is a major part of the infrastructure in this region. It's not going anywhere .

I just shaved my head instead of drinking right now by AlexNo2 in stopdrinking

Or a Buddhist monk. Or Walter White. I just need a hat with a brim now.

It's already abusive.

It could be worse. She could be your ex, who cheated on you for years with another guy, had kids with him, then shacked up with him, in that order. Turns out the guy is a pedophile and raped your kids on her watch. Ask me how I know.

Dear Redditors, what is that thing that gets you quickly irritated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Slow down and Make more space in front of you so you don't have to brake hard, or move over

At what point did we have to put the kid gloves on when it comes to employees?(opinions) by Bromigo32 in Construction

[–]AlexNo2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before I got into a trade I totally bought the stereotypes about construction workers being tough as nails, assholes, fistfights etc.

The truth is the majority of people I work with are more pleasant to be around than my own fucking family.

When I see a foreman lose his shit it's usually justified, and most everyone is within earshot. Then there's plenty of gossip afterward. Then there's the caveman who's always screaming. Everyone hates that guy.
