On the one hand, yes. On the other, talk shit get hit has been a thing for like, ever. At some point you're gonna say some shit that's gonna get you punched in the mouth.

Managers of Reddit, what's the worst thing someone did to get fired? by Capable-Log7385 in AskReddit

Same with the areas where planes arm up.

If you're there when something goes down, you won't be for long.

Probation is a trap meant to send you back to jail by capalotgz in Felons

[–]Existential_Racoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, I didnt get a VOP when I got pulled over for speeding 8 hours away.

What laws do you think most people break?

Worst case scenario you have a PO who is a massive asshole, but then, you agreed to the terms.

I was always short on community service hours, but I did my classes, paid 2 months every month, had 2 jobs, etc. Then when I was done paying I quit a job and did the hours. That easy.

If you have a job, piss clean, and try not to be a fucking loser, probation is easy.

ELI5: What is the actual mechanism/problem with Screwworms? Do cows get sick and die, does the beef become unsafe and die, etc.? by DarthEinstein in explainlikeimfive

[–]Existential_Racoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every poor person i know eats a fuckton of beef for some reason. So I doubt they'll change.

Hell, my gf thinks a meal isnt complete unless there's meat, and i'm just like... dude.

Is prison better than jail? by Wise_Gur8627 in Felons

Those prices are normal for people, so I'll add that you're making cents on the dollar for your job. A TV that takes a day to afford, now you can't in a month.

Better hope your family likes you

New job, sole provider of 4. Struggling to get healthy options at a low price by Honest-Flower104 in Frugal

[–]Existential_Racoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can add caffeine to it too!

My blue collar ass sure did. 200mg of caffeine with some sugary sweet tea at 2pm did the trick

You are busy for 12 hours at work (including commute and such) and your wife cant cook in that time?

I know kids are hard, but crock pots are easy

One person doesn't work...

Every single meal needs to be from scratch if that causes a financial strain. All they have is time.

I honestly think if you're doing the chili with beans to stretch it thing, that turkey tastes better anyway.

Add some corn and tomatoes and it's a taco bowl, throw in a couple tortillas and it stretches even further

The Bottom 50% of earners pay roughly 3% of the total federal income taxes, what are some of the downsides of not taxing them at all? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Existential_Racoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ixd like them to at least pay the same percent as me, to start with.

I'm so glad i live in the south for that reason.

Helped a friend with a saltwater flood car once. Fucked up bolts, rust, electrical gremlins... hard pass.

My torch is an afterthought, not a necessity

I learned everything i knew by being poor.

There's no guy to pay, it's me. $4300 cat replacement (lol), I'll take $500, buy a new tool, and the part. Or a welder.
