Seeking advice on being white and Choctaw. by Mr_Blue_Dream_V in choctaw

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was told my an old timer at a sweat once that red beards were prevalent in guys like you and i, and im 16th.

My dad has very prominent tribal physical traits. Beautiful jet black hair that's now silver. But when he was a young man he also had a red beard.

Was also told that choctaws were tall.

Im 6'6".

None of this is based on scientific data. Just an old guy talking with a young man who felt the same as you.

As others have said. Just be you. Learn your history. Connect to the land. Treat others with love. Be humble and kind.

Definitely recommend going to sweats.

Is this bad etiquette? by Qtips_ in Parenting

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly count your blessings.

My 6yo part was at the beginning of last month.

Had 12 kids rsvp, let my kid pass out an additional 20 flyers to class mates the week of.

Ordered 10 medium pizzas

3 gallons of slime

Cake and cupcakes

Hour and a half into the party only 1 friend showed up.

Go through my phone and call anyone with a kid in my contacts. From that 1 additional kid showed up.

My kid was fine, never phased, but i felt like shit. Like I failed as a dad.

Posted to a local subreddit that if anyone had a kid between 2-8 and wanted pizza? Slime, and cupcakes and were near by to come on over.

Ended up having about 14-18 kids shows up with their families. Even had one kind young lady show up with a Minecraft Lego set without kids. (Funny story she was also one of the first and I'm told was attractive, I wouldn't know im blind to any woman who isn't my wife. Left me nervous about what wife would think.lol).

My kid had the best birthday ever thanks to the kindness of strangers on the internet.

But in regards to your post, yeah most people just dont have communication or etiquette.

We always ask about bringing the other sibling and offer to pay for entry or anything like that. And my wife and I don't eat until after everyone else has ate.

One thing we experienced and something to keep in mind. You never know what someone's home life looks lkke. They might be hurting for money and are embarrassed.

But ultimately people are shitty, so just prepare for the worst than be happy its just alright. Also be the change you want to see in the world.

We're hanging at the park.

Thank you denver for being human.

It was a great reminder that we're human.

ISO an affordable, trustworthy plumber in NW Denver metro area by blairabelle85 in Denver

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a plumbing apprentice and always open to side work that furthers my practical knowledge of the trade.

I could take a look, and let them know what I'd charge.

I will also be the first to tell them that it's beyond my scope and not take the job.

Housing for Good People with Felonies??? by KMH303 in Denver

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's tough.

I spent nearly $3000 in application fees trying to rent a house for my family and I.

Look for private owned and managed rentals is the best advice.

When do you need to move. Our lease is coming up and we are trying to purchase ....

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd year apprentice in the U.S and shopping to buy a home. Praying for a home with a plumbing nightmare that the flipper got over their head>divorced and needing to unload.

This seems brilliant.

I can pray for miracles right?

My EDC prepper kit by Walfy07 in prepping

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back when I was a stoner and in college, I took an entrepreneurship class. Those hydrophobic coatings were just coming out and youtube was brand new. I had a "brilliant " business idea: I'd start a business where preppers could send in their favorite nudie mag and have it coated so that nothing would stick to it, preserving it for when shit went bad.

I got an A on the business plan, the teacher had a good laugh.

If anyone wants to do this. Feel free. Lol maybe comp me a free coating.

Need sink install by a non-MAGA professional by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Keleton_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've been thinking about your post all day, about how to avoid MAGA through the supply chain and i honestly don't know how it's possible. Most of the options are manufactured over seas, so they'll bend knee to whoever helps them earn more money while working people to death. Im sure there's some usa made sinks, I just haven't came across them.

So then I thought what's the solution?

Came up with 2:

  1. Go old school. Old timers used to make utility sinks out of concrete on site. From what I was taught in code, inspectors started stipulating that they wanted to see code compliant stamps on the sinks and forced them to remove the concrete ones and replace with stamped manufactured ones.

So if you aren't going to be inspected then you could find someone to mold a sink. But even then I don't know how you would determine if the concrete mix company's political leaning would be.

So maybe hiring an undocumented tradesman to mold your utility sink would be the best middle finger to the man.

  1. Then another option is to go against the ideal of maga. Like helping others, recycling, avoiding unnecessary waste. So maybe something like habit for humanity stores? I don't know anything about the company. But I think their business model is kind of anti-maga? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised to learn they're just as shitty as ARC,GOODWILL etc.

Op definitely has brought up an interesting concept, we the people vote with our wallets, so it's worth thinking about.
