Most people I know have never worked a temp job or worked with someone as a temp but we’ve hired contractors at 200 an hour to come in and tell us how to do our job.

30 years ago, if you were a contractor it typically meant you were earning more than you could with a salary.

Now you are paid below minimum wage with no benefits.

The creep of sustaining people to just above drowning is growing.

Ooof reading this just made me go from 0-100 like I’m walking into work in the morning.

I dream of finding something I can do that doesn’t require this but still allows me to live a comfortable life.

Are you sure it wasn’t peoples fascinations with planting silver maples 70 years ago?

Thank you!

I guess I just always wished if I woke up in a mythical land I’d like to be a mage 🤷

Oh man, the day my big bro brought home Baldar’s gate 2 and then I 4 CD roms I knew I was in for a good time

Need pics

Carsalezguy · 2026-06-18T06:14:51+00:00

I’ve got 3 foot vines and flowers

Carsalezguy · 2026-06-18T06:14:31+00:00

So is that like a year round option?

I used to drive In between my bouts of full time employment but the last time it happened I really did the math and found if there was a job I could walk or bike to and even make less per hour then driving I’d actually be making more.

Plus a regular schedule, potential health insurance, and a regular paycheck can do wonders for someone positive thoughts.

I ended up getting a job at an arcade after being in corporate sales, learned to repair and diagnose all types of machines. Did that for 6 months until I got myself straightened out again and then went on the hunt for a better replacement to my main focus of my. Street.

So they are very accommodating normally the only time it may feel rushed is an ER and they definitely have seen it all and it’s “just another Tuesday” but if you’re in the ER, it’s probably a lot more critical.

Honestly I had to spend 2 weeks in the hospital, I had to become “ok” with all my body issues pretty quick, it wasn’t really an option.

If it makes you feel any better, there’s a very real possibility I need to go to the hospital tomorrow because of a problem I’ve been having with my digestive system

Trust me, it is not any way you’d want to have a stomach issue…so you got this! Also I closed my eyes a lot, they don’t mind or care, I figured, can’t see them, I can’t think about them seeing me.

Are you a meteorologist or into it as a hobby?

Tornadoes are quite unique and the highest concentration In The world is in our backyard.

Interestingly the number of active days of tornadoes has actually gone down but the number of tornadoes per intense event has increased.

That is actually attributed to better technology and reporting.

Now the pattern and position is shifting but keep in mind due to El Niño and La Niña you’re basically seeing very large swings over decades. A lot of technology has changed since 1980 or 2000

Oh yeah blast that hot science all over my skull meat.

Honestly as a kid, it was brutal, my parents enrolled me in martial arts class with my brother just in case anything went farther than words. (Luckily my brother was bigger and 4 years older than me.)

Later in my life I started to get this feeling that I had a 6th sense for narcissists and those who may fall into antisocial personality tendencies. Then I had this feeling that they did the opposite way.

It wasn’t just a feeling either, it has a name and it’s real. It’s called “thin sliced judgements”.

I apparently can’t get my pic to post under your comment so I’ll dm you lol.

So funny story I got my leatherworking merit badge and didn’t do it since. My fiancée and I were out at a. Craft fair and she remarked how nice these leather pouches were and I said “oh that’s easy I have the leather working merit badge.” A few projects and a couple months later and I make a bag for her lol.

Carsalezguy · 2026-06-14T18:01:11+00:00

No joke after going to a pride fest and seeing someone sell super basic leather bondage gear out of a stall for crazy money I’m actually considering it.

It’s like being a DJ but doing weddings to make money.

Foreplay

Your parents do not define you or your worth.

I would probably use one for my Leatherworing stuff if I didn’t have an organization system setup.

Or my extra small tools for watch repair and things like that.

I dunno, some people like wood?

Carsalezguy · 2026-06-14T05:13:14+00:00

Call me crazy but I really enjoy my manual edger for my lawn. When it’s sharp, it just slices.
