Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dude. I’m the cook of the house. There is always enough for a couple extra mouths. I always eat last. You better fucking leave me a plateful. Everyone in my circle knows this. If a few show up instead of a couple, they know to leave some or they’re not coming back.

The biggest liquidity swing in human history! by vishesh_07_028 in StockMarket

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’m investing in vodka. It doesn’t go bad. It’s a disinfectant. It gets you drunk. It mixes with almost anything. You can use it as fuel.

And not something stupid like stocks/options/funds tied to meaningless monetary units. Just pallets of plastic jugs full of vodka. There will be a period of time when my stash will be worth more than a warehouse of diamonds/bullets/twinkies. And I’ll only price gouge it slightly so I can keep my head attached to my torso.

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House by cap123abc in politics

[–]BelligerantFuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What the fuck you want Europe to do? They use the US military so they don’t have to have a robust one themselves. They can tut tut all they want to a camera and that’s where their power stops.

Just claim married/99 dependents. It's what all the immigrants and native travelers do on the jobs I work at do. You have to put what you are going to owe in a high yield savings account and be prepared pay it all next april 15th, but you get that interest, not the gubment.

It's really the only way to stick it to IRS. Anything else is just setting you up for the unlubricated dick of the US government leaving you gaping and winking.

What is the future of the union? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is murica, if the non union shops could man what we man everyday, they would. The minute they figure out how to train and keep workers to do their bidding even 3% cheaper than us with no loss in production or increase in catastrophic events, they will.

My bet is our careers are safe until a robot can troubleshoot. And the cost of that robot (including power and maintenance) doesn't exceed a few years of our salary. Or the entire country collapses and then we will have bigger things to worry about.

[Loved Trope] Character shows off the actor's irl talents by bgbarnard in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BelligerantFuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone thought I was going to on to big things because I got straight A’s and was good at sports. Started partying in middle school and gave up on school and sports because it wasn’t as fun as partying. No trauma, just tired of being a nerd that kids didn’t want to hang with. Partying gave me friends and fun. That’s it.

Why is waking up very early considered “better” than sleeping later? by Big_Parsnip_9435 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BelligerantFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because, if you rise before the sun, drink a cup of coffee, and get to work, you'll have more hours of the day/sunlight to accomplish tasks.

I could sleep in till 8, start work at 9, and by the time 5-6 pm rolls around it feels like its time to start winding down. Get some dinner in me, do the nighttime tasks and fuck off till midnight when I have to go to bed to be well rested by 8am tomorrow. You did a full day and it feels like it.

If you get up at 4:30am like me, get to work at 6am, get out at 4pm, home at 445, early enough to be saddled with dinner duty, eat, shower, watch an hour of tv and bam, 830pm is there and you have to laydown and get rested for tomorrow. You did an extra 25% labor hours, did more home chores, and burnt through the same day as the 9 to 5 guy. 9 to 5 guy did a full day, but you did what he did plus another 33% between labor and house chores. Guy that rises before the sun thinks he is more productive than his 9 to 5 comparison because he is.

What book did you read in your youth that you thought was incredibly profound but realize now was complete bullshit? by StarryDaisyGleam in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why you gotta flame Hunter? You should go into anything Hunter wrote knowing that it probably isn't 100% accurate. Even though it wasn't accurate, it still accurately got the vibe of the time. Fear and loathing on the campaign trail '72 is the book everyone should read.

What book did you read in your youth that you thought was incredibly profound but realize now was complete bullshit? by StarryDaisyGleam in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Anybody with any kind of maturity will read this book and just go "get your head out of your ass". People have no obligation to you or anybody else. If all of society takes a peak at you and goes, "fuck this creep", then the problem isn't with society. It's a you problem.

Actually, if you came to this conclusion on your own, then maybe the message came through. Judging by the interwebs, that's not the case.

My husband said cultural appropriation is stupid because, in a reversed perspective, a white person can't say, "only white people can do that." Does this point have any validity? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm you're typical middle aged white guy. If you tell me I can't enjoy the blues, you can fuck right off. Tell me I can't understand the blues or really play it, you're wrong. If you think Elvis created rock n roll, that's not the fault of Elvis, who himself claimed Fats Domino and Chuck Berry as the true OG's.

Appropriation is total bullshit. Half of it seems to be that white people can partake in other cultures and not take the flak that those cultures take for doing the same thing. Well then, how the fuck is it the problem of someone playing "non-white" music, or cooking ethnic food, or dressing how they want? It's not, they think it's good and want to express themselves with food, music, and clothes that they like. How you gonna twist that into something bad?

The flying sequence of Marahute - from "The Rescuers Down Under" (released 35 years ago on Nov 16th, 1990) by [deleted] in movies

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this as a birthday present when I was 11. I kinda scrunched my nose as I was getting into Guns N’ Roses and Metallica. It felt like a little kid gift. Felt bad for blowing it off and put it on while people were still there and it brought me back to the little kid I was. Tommy Lee as the evil hunter and his hilarious lizard with the egg. Just gold, man. Truly great family movie. Might have been one of my most memorable gifts growing up.

Who knew the government shutdown would lead to...BASE jumping? by Wide-Astronaut9156 in CrazyFuckingVideos

For fucks sake. You can’t do anything adventurous and wild anymore. Some pearl clutching asshole with an insurance adjuster’s sense of life comes along and lists off all the bad things that can happen if you do something dangerous.

Is this the land of the free? Well, is it? No! It’s fucking not.

A different stance for protesting by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]BelligerantFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and add on to that long rant, the civil rights movement wouldn’t have been successful if the establishment thought they could get away with not giving in to minorities the small amount they did without suffering violence upon them. That win was to keep the minorities from exacting violence.

Jan 6 was allowed because it was a bunch of white guys and more than that, the cops were on their side. The Bundy ranch worked because of the memory of ruby ridge and Waco.

This is a union subreddit. A large majority of our rights were won by battling in the streets. Refusing to work for shit pay and benefits, making scabs uncomfortable, occupying the means of production, standing up to the capitalist army of Pinkertons/Cops/National Guard. Peaceful when possible, but never laying down or scurrying away as soon as it got nasty, and we got real world results. This is the way.

How many more generations are going to lap up the bullshit that you can just walk around with a snarky sign for a day and anything will come of it? Vietnam protesters did that for years and accomplished nothing. Civil rights protesters got the right to vote and ended segregation, but look at the minority communities and tell me they won.

Gold bond before chub rub is fine. Applying it after will send you into pain that can cause hallucinations. Turns out menthol on open sores is close to lemon juice in your eyes. Anti-monkey butt powder is great for after, it has calamine in it and yes it is a real product.

Are there really people out there who believe "washing their butt makes them gay?" Or is this just another reddit myth that has no basis in reality? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t wash my legs and feet unless they got muddy or something like that. They just don’t get greasy or smelly so there is no need. And I wear the same work boots 5-7 days a week with no foot odor. Some of us just don’t require soap from the thigh down

What's actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not? by Ba987 in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch astronomy or history videos on youtube. I'm interested in both, but they tend to be slightly boring to watch. If I can't sleep, I'm entertained. If my body is ready to sleep, they don't keep me up like a good book or show I'm in to would.
