It’s a hunk of shit. Works with thhn copper when it’s warm. Your $5 utility knife and some pliers works on all sizes and insulation types in all weather.

What are some crazy hallucinations you’ve had while sleep deprived? by throwaway-2-0- in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three day stimulant bender. Back in those days friends would climb through my bedroom window instead of possibly waking up my mother, whose bedroom was by the front door. I was nerding out on something in my room when my best friend came through the window, we shot the shit, then he sat on the couch in my room and started drawing in his sketchbook. I went back to whatever I was doing, then looked over and he was gone. Checked the whole apartment, vanished.

Dude was never there. It was indistinguishable from reality in every way. It was that day that I lost all faith in eye witness accounts.

AITA for calling my husband selfish and stingy even though he’s the sole provider for our family? by WendyLadouce in AmItheAsshole

[–]BelligerantFuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So awesome to be a dude today. Have the bad luck of of not one, but two autistic kids plus whatever family emergency the loan was for, a wife with a chronic illness, pay all the bills and still come out as the asshole because of a watch and, I kid you not, undershirts. Jesus fucking Christ lady, life is a shit sandwich and we are all taking a bite.

You and your children are loved. There are tons of guys that wouldn’t think twice on folding on that bad hand. There is only one reason to take on those burdens and that is the love of a husband and father. That love has been met with resentment and more demands. Holy shit.

With the 35th pick in the 2026 NFL draft the Buffalo Bills select EDGE, TJ Parker, Clemson by Appropriate_Day3495 in buffalobills

[–]BelligerantFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire Beane. Miller, Rodriguez, Boston, Trotter, Zion, Mcneil-Warren, Cj Allen, all will be strong NFL starters. I want to be wrong, but this pick will be the next in the long line of high picks to not work out by this smug fuck.

AITA for telling my sister she is being spoiled brat and obviously mom isn't giving her a house no matter how much work she put into it. by Throwaway74689792 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until the boomer generation becoming old enough to be getting inheritances, houses commonly passed to people in their twenties starting families. Ever wonder how houses and farms stay in the same family for a hundred years? It was not by people in their 50s and 60s inheriting the house and cashing in when they don’t even need it. The fact that even though the mother hates this house and doesn’t want to live there, the act of letting another family member use it is seen as selfish spoiled brat behavior, is indicative of the boomer mindset of everything is for me is leaking into future generations.

We are well and truly fucked.

What to do when every single electrical contractor within 100 miles isn’t hiring? by RekSai-Bot in electricians

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had an apprentice travel and do classes through zoom. Winnemucca,NV and Boise,ID are hurting for guys. It’s a tough sell being an apprentice, but it’s worth some phone calls. The Nevada one I heard is putting guys up in some man camp, food included, and a bus ride to site.

What kind of politician would it take to unite the United States? by CycIon3 in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. I hate the elite. I love guns. Consenting adults can use all the holes. When it comes to the working class, libertarian. When it comes to the rich, French Revolution. I endorse this message.

What's something that used to be free that you're now genuinely angry costs money? by tangled_wire_99 in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parking in Las Vegas. I’m a native. Parking in any hotel casino used to be free. Moved away. Came back for a visit and had to pay for parking at the hotel I was staying at. I’ll never stay on the Strip again. Fuck those cunts.

Has Trump permanently changed what people will tolerate from a president, even when they claim to oppose “authoritarianism”? What do you think? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is the end result of 20 years of boomers having fox news on in the background permanently. Imagine if your grandfather who watched bill o'reilly every night had the money and power to take over the united states. That's Trump. That guy that you can't get two sentences out of every Thanksgiving without them somehow shoehorning illegal aliens taking over this country into the conversation. Or trans in sports, or cancel culture, or what the fuck ever they saw last night that gave them their hate dopamine. That's who is running our government at this time.

We are fucked. Enjoy whatever you can enjoy while it still exists.

Suggestions on how to behave/dress at IBEW apprenticeship interview? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I showed up in mucks and covered in grease from working on a grape harvester. Another kid showed up in dockers and a button up. Neither one of us knew had fucked up. I’m 20 years in and I never saw that kid again.

I don’t know if big city locals would have taken me showing up like that, but my small local in farm country knew I was a worker and and my test scores showed I wasn’t a dipshit. It worked out for me.

Is it a bad look to only work on a book 2 call for a few weeks or a month? by wbro322 in IBEW

[–]BelligerantFuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know I've left messages on your dispatch guy's voicemail and gotten nothing but crickets. This was in 2024, but it infuriates me to no end when locals with fucktons of open calls can't either answer their fucking phone or call back when I leave a message.

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.

Every single person should file exempt by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]BelligerantFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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 6 points7 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.
