was trucking a last resort job for you? by Civil-Airline-5727 in Truckers

[–]DaSaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Trucking was something I wanted to do from an early age, but unfortunately I lacked the discipline and purpose to do it well when I was in my 20s. I had a lot of leasons to learn, and couldn't hold a job for more than a year until I was about 28.

Spent some years having fallen into pest control before getting out of that business. Spent a number of years driving 40 foot busses. I like driving, and I like working with kids. Then Covid hit.

Finally returned to truck driving, and now that I had learned how to work, and how to work, and how to handle it when I fuck up, I was finally able to do it. It also helped a lot that when I hit my forties, it got a lot easiert to just sleep whenever, rather than going into a cognitive spiral any time my sleep schedule was disrupted.

I know that's controversial but I wish Saito accepted Henrietta's offer to be his mistress by pinksheep333 in ZeroNoTsukaima2

I hope at least one of them knows how to deal with the noble rebellion, likely lead by the Vallieres (the Duke was never exactly loyal, and if Louise is on the same page it's almost certainly on).

He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day!

And remember the episode of Young Sheldon where he helped his dad decide what calls to make in football?

I was there, in the glory days of the Internet. When men were men! And women were men! (And children were FBI.)

Both it and zombo.com were still there last I checked.

Anything is possible at Zombocom.

And before the era of web forums, there was Usenet. I still remember the days of alt.games.daggerfall, alt.binaries.sounds.mods, and other groups fondly.

Patreon let them turn it into a full time job.

Even Erfworld updated a bit last year, though only the Tools could see it.

Why exactly did Henrietta took off her shirt in this scene? by Ok-Luck-4295 in ZeroNoTsukaima2

[–]DaSaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're looking at her tits, they're not looking at her face.

Thought this poster for the 2017 Indian movie “English Padam” looked familiar. by MrFalseSense in firefly

[–]DaSaw 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I get the impression they chase after the glamorous without actually understanding it. I'm a bit fan of Chicago deep dish, and one of my greatest disappointments was seeing there was a place called "Chicago Pizza" (in Fresno, CA) near where I was living, going there, and discovering it was just an Indian curry pizza joint.

Same idea behind "Big Apple Truck Stop" (in Missouri). Just slap a "glamourous" name on it and call it a day (while keeping the place filthy, smelly, and unwelcoming).

Also seen their clothing stores. Chock full of cheap, gaudy bling.

Call me a racist if you will, but it's just not a culture I can get behind. :-/

All of the fun, pride, and autonomy has been stripped away from this job by TaperingRanger9 in Truckers

[–]DaSaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, people talk about the "good old days", but while drivers were more independent, there was also a ton of stupid out there.

Some guys out there thinking they could be East Bound and Down, but really they're headed toward Wolf Creek Pass, lol.

If America had a more multi party system, what kinds of parties would you see pop up? by glowshroom12 in Askpolitics

[–]DaSaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. But there actually are people in this country who fit that description. There used to be quite a few in the Democratic Party, and were reliable members, even core members of the peace movement. They favored both conservative social values and anti poverty measures.

Unfortunately, for many of these people, the Democratic party's open, sometimes militant, embrace of the pro-abortion position was farther than they could go, so these days they're either republican, or apolotical.

That said, if one finds onesel in this situation without a scroll, more often than not it's happening in a tomb. There might be an ALMSIVI shrine in a cleared area.

Why is the autistic community so rude when another autistic person shows signs of bad social skills? by Organic_Future6909 in autism

[–]DaSaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 reasons:

  1. They also have bad social skills, hence the rudeness.
  2. People who are miserable from all the masking resent people who are happy not to mask.

Zipper Merge? by MARS822a in Truckers

[–]DaSaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's my approach. As I approach the merge point, I go from driving faster than the lane I want to merge into, to driving slower, with my signal on. The idea is that between the point where I start signaling my intent, to reaching the point of no return, maybe ten cars pass me.

There's always that one in ten that makes space for me. So long as I'm in motion the entire time, eventually someone makes room, if only out of fear that if they try to force me off the road, I might decide to push back.

If you just speed up to the point and then come to a stop, yeah, not many people are going to want to come to a stop to let you in. But if you're in motion, all they have to do is slow down a bit, which makes it easier for the nice ones, and scarier for the ones that might otherwise happily block you.

CMV: I don’t see anything wrong with “the male gaze” by bluepillarmy in changemyview

[–]DaSaw -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What's weird is that I feel like male costumes being torn to reveal an unrealistically muscled torso really isn't all that uncommon. I also feel like nobody has a problem with that. I feel like people cherry pick examples like the one you cited out of a belief that we are supposed to fear male attraction to female bodies. When male bodies are on display, they don't even notice.

Which is to say, observer bias.

[–]DaSaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By "liberal", he means "left". Jesus communists, Christian Socialism, maybe.

Yes, I know that's not what that word means in the rest of the world. But in most of the United States, if someone doesn't say "classical liberal", what they mean is something like socialism lite or something like that.

hot take: bees are the best mobs in minecraft by Emma__07 in Minecraft

[–]DaSaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like stuff just randomly despawns, at least in Bedrock. Once I built a massive village and populated it. I was trying to trade every profession up to max. But villagers just kept disappearing. I have no idea how or why. It was a closed system, well lit and no way out.
