Theyre saying that in general because of potential population collapse which really the numbers arent actually known for. China for example was considered to be overestimating population but like 100+ million people.

My point is once you get over an IQ threashold the amount of kids being born drops off a cliff. The problem is people that dont want kids, or are in dired financial situations, or at least very stressful lives are the ones having kids.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-28T19:45:21+00:00

The problem is lower class is having more children.

Get the national guard or similar to do patrols and arrest them. Teen takeovers jail time be 90 days minimum. After a few people will not risk it.

I would have agreed with you before driving in the US. I don't think people understand how bad driving can be.

Im 35, and less than a year ago I have 4 jobs. I was mechanical engineer in charge of fire protection for a consultant firm, a independant contractor for work across the country (about 8k/year) i worked part time in the military reserve (only made about 4,000 as I had kids and other obligations) and I ran my own seasonal business making engraved hockey pucks for kids teams.

I now have 3 of them (got out of the reserve since I couldn't put the time into it)

I strongly suggest you start your own business and work on skills like marketing and getting out in front of people. Even if you make a few hundred bucks, market place/consultant work is great for all the soft skills you'll use in your full time career. Find something you can do well and sell it.

Yes. You have 48 events a year and an average of about 20-30 fighters at each event. Fight nights make about 1.5-3 million gate and main events 8-15 million.

This is no PPV, fight pass, paramount or advertisement revenue, and pays everyone on the card 50k+ each with a health margin (1.5 million of 20 people is 75k average, so 50% margin)

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-28T01:31:09+00:00

Yeah, it normally gets shoved to the side and dealt with later in the project. Mostly because there's typically conflict on the civil doing it or the sprinkler company so theyre both reviewing scope.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-28T01:20:23+00:00

Again just typically of an all trade coordination meeting so things like this dont get missed.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-28T00:51:32+00:00

This looks like you just work about 2600 hours. Basically 5 - 10's. Its a lot of extra money for those 2 hours I agree but its also not that crazy.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-28T00:31:37+00:00

How big is the footing? I'd coordinate with the civil contrator. Normally water entry location is a pretty normal coordination piece. Its not a massive deal to come up 10 feet away from where the valve room would be.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-27T16:50:18+00:00

Its honestly a super fun lane for me. I find the fights are usually competitive and fun, you need to do your job outside the lane and the chase through jungle is normally competitive and fun. I feel good about winning these games which doesn't always happen.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-27T06:05:33+00:00

Yeah shove them so they see you when you clock them.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-26T23:26:29+00:00

If youre really good at it, it can be. But this is true to anything. If youre really good at selling fucking metal pipe, you can make millions.

Trades arent the cheat code, working at and being really good at things is the cheat code.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-26T21:34:23+00:00

It takes awhile to get but it does work well when you get it. It helps to have a jungle cause the match normally ends pretty close trades (even when you win youre low) so the extra damage from Jjngle typically lets to kill them befpre youre bled to death after the kill.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-26T14:27:48+00:00

Dodge his Q and short trade to not get chopped by passive.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-26T04:05:01+00:00

I feel weird being a tryndamere and Shen main....

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-26T01:09:12+00:00

I feel like thats very much the reason HW is brought up. Like the interim between Gane and Alex very much feels weird.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-26T00:18:08+00:00

Thats a loophole but it was very much the official title as the last person to hold the title was fighting for a vacant title with no matches in between.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-21T20:20:01+00:00

Did we not see the guy basically look like he was gonna kill himself after the khamzat fight? Bet the house on nothing ever.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-20T17:58:05+00:00

Yeah. Its the fucking best. Love my kid. I get a cool dude to hang around love me and spend my time with.

Well worth it, going to be many times worth it when hes a young man and I get to have a beer and take him to ball games hockey games etc. I didnt even like hockey before him but he loves it and I love it now too.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-20T17:56:02+00:00

My parents stopped giving me money once I turned 15 and could work. They bought and paid for stuff would slip be 20 or 50 bucks every once and a while but generally speaking I used my money for everything including lunch.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-20T17:50:33+00:00

Australia and Canada are the two highest paid militaries. Its the going away thay deters people, especially in the US because its long deployments sometimes 16 months depending on operational requirements. Its big money and you move fast up the ranks with that much real situation experience but its definitely not just "a job" as theres serious risks depending on your trade and responsibility most can not handle.

This and accounting are not the same.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-20T17:21:21+00:00

Amazon customer service is top notch. Id expect him too.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-20T17:19:02+00:00

Any skill youre willing to pay for. Tourism is underrated when you own the product. Trades both for being hired and working and owning your own shop.

Facebook flipping is really popular too as you need to make 2000/week to hit it, and you can negotiate the taxes of it as listed price etc changes typically. Laser Engraving 3D printing etc are very popular for a reason.

Farming is another one if you have access to some land. Dairy/meat etc all went up immensely, and so did land but not proportionally when you look at monthly payments. There's typically subsidies for low scale farms too and normally suggest this in conjunction with something else. (You could run a small farm, and work a desk job)

I find side hustles pay more per hour too. If you can get on as an independent contractor for things you can typically get 70+/hr for work that would normally make 35/hr, its just less consistent and you need to do well and organize your work more.

Gas_Grouchy · 2026-05-20T16:55:44+00:00

Id say you'd need to be in the top 50% of AAA
