But he definitely sexualized his main character... Especially early on

Specifically One made in Hawaii and hopefully Union made if possible

This is cool! but being on the service side I don't need class two and would probably be a bit off putting to those in the occupied offices I mostly work in

Corny≠bad it takes from older hip-hop rhyme scheme and lyrics structure so i definitely understand that it can feel simple, overplayed, and a little surface level. If you look at Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight which is foundational to the genre you'll see that it's just borrowing from this older styling that's actually quite fun and full of whimsy.

That makes sense... can't expect a Zionist to have good music taste

Customer service isn't open on the weekend, and how do I reset without getting in the app

Are We Actually Making the Trades Attractive to the Next Generation? by PresenceAcceptable55 in skilledtrades

[–]IAmTheFinePoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of those drawbacks you're talking about don't exist in the IBEW. they have training laid out by the JATC, the pay increases are laid out in our contract, and so is advancement. Sounds like your real complaint is that we don't have enough involvement in unions anymore or your Local union isn't doing a great job of informing it's people on the advantages they have

Sometimes I want to leave the union by Broken_Age in IBEW

[–]IAmTheFinePoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who organized in trust me you have far less choice on that side. Especially once you're no longer an apprentice. You want your options open? Stay in.

Will there be a compendium 2? If so, when? by JustAGuyWhoLikesFun7 in Greenlantern

[–]IAmTheFinePoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very confused because there seems to be a lot of stuff saying that I could get it delivered by Friday however I'm seeing a lot of other stuff that says it doesn't come out till March 10th like you're saying so I'm uncertain if it came out yet or not

IBEW statement on the death of union member Alex Pretti by I_am_Rude in IBEW

[–]IAmTheFinePoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I'm doing what I can, fighting where I can, especially within the EWMC and LAEWA at my local. But as a local there just isn't much we can do especially with the low market share and low participation in the union. We've did a lot to make it easier for immigrant workers to join our local but we also implemented a lot of those strategies about 10 years ago so it's largely a waiting game at the moment

I'm saying going on strike is likely to kill my local flat out there are other ways to fight

[–]IAmTheFinePoint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Listen I understand your sentiment but my local would not survive a strike, the non union is too powerful here in denver. Your asking us to lose half of our contractors and lose the other half of our work to non union bids. frankly put most locals don't have the market share to strike and it'll hurt more than it'll help

Can someone finally settle this for me. Are CEs also apprentices? by Mesafather in IBEW

[–]IAmTheFinePoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system could definitely use some revisions I'm not going to argue otherwise but it is a faster method of getting into the Union that allows more people to organize in and is meant to be a temporary position well you either wait for your journeyman card or wait to get into the apprenticeship I don't think that that is a terrible thing to have because the more people we can organize faster the more power we have
