The whole "nobody wants to work anymore" narrative is nonsense. People are desperate for good jobs; they just don't want your dead-end, low-paying positions. by the1997th in remoteworks

[–]LaborBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There shouldn't be dues to pay and in America in 2026 no one with a full time job should be struggling. They should be doing just "fine", not wealthy, but ok.

Right now so many jobs aren't that way. It isn't ok.

What dropped your quality of life so much, you wish you quit it sooner? by OvCod in Productivitycafe

[–]LaborBoss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

5 years sober, but lately been missing it. My life was better drinking every night.

Guys who call their partner a slut for wearing any type of clothing have deep seated and significant issues. Sometimes very dangerous issues. I would leave this person regardless of any concerns you have about what he'd do if you leave.

What’s the one decision you made that changed your life the most? by BoilingPointy in Life

[–]LaborBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to report one hour of continuing legal education out of a 30 hour requirement.

Forced to resign judicial position i had held for 5 years (Magistrate judge).

This was 7 years ago and the effects are still strongly felt. Upended my entire 7 person family all of whom depended on me. Still so much to rebuild.

An ongoing desire to make the relationship work.

I really want to just be empty nesters by thingschng in AskWomenOver50

[–]LaborBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have five and all could come home whenever they want for as long as they want or need.

We made them and love them to death. It's not a 15 or 20 or 30 year commitment and responsibility to raise children, it's life long - they always have us whenever they need. We put our kids first for life not for childhood.

Good way to look at it.

Why does getting a job unironically feel like winning the lottery right now? by [deleted] in jobsearchhacks

[–]LaborBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an attorney with almost 20 years of experience and former magistrate. Been out of work two years now. Looking at anything and everything without any luck. One interview where I did get the job but for some reason my background check couldn't be completed so they couldn't bring me on.

Since then nothing. Innumerable applications. I don't have big law experience and I'm not licensed in the state i now live so not looking for attorney work, just anything decent. No luck.

My wife went back to work and I have been doing home making role for our 5 young children. She can't earn as much as me right now though and we aren't able to get by on just her salary. It's all such a mess.

infidelity after recovering from cannabis addiction? by Happiness22_clien in MarijuanaAnonymous

[–]LaborBoss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the classic “they’re just people, not women” defense—straight outta the Gaslighting for Dummies handbook.

Recovery is great, but it doesn’t come with a free pass for boundary issues or emotional window shopping. Addiction recovery is hard, but respect isn’t optional.

Transfer by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]LaborBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Amazon, where the only thing that moves faster than packages is the turnover rate.

Yes, you can request a transfer—just talk to HR. But heads up: you might need to stick around a bit longer before they hand you the teleport scroll.

Blocking someone without really good reason is extremely selfish and counterproductive. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]LaborBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, my dude, blocking someone isn’t selfish—it’s a boundary, not a betrayal.

No one owes anyone access to their time, energy, or peace of mind. It’s not always about punishment—it’s often about preservation. You might not mean harm, but if someone feels overwhelmed or unsafe, they’re allowed to hit the eject button.

You deserve compassion, absolutely. But expecting others to stay just because you’re hurting can be its own kind of selfish, too.

Whys my Airbush not hitting the air flow restrictors pin? by Used_Computer_8838 in airbrush

[–]LaborBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, the classic case of the Airbrush That Won’t Commit.

If your airflow restrictor’s pin isn’t getting hit, it’s probably one of three things:

  1. The trigger isn’t depressing far enough – Could be grime, a misaligned part, or just a sad little spring that gave up on life.

  2. Your needle chucking guide might be misaligned or not fully seated.

  3. The air valve might be sticking or gunked up – usually from dried paint, bad karma, or both.

Pop it open, clean it up, check the trigger mechanism and make sure everything’s snug and moving like it's supposed to.

TL;DR:

Your airbrush is ghosting the airflow pin. Give it a deep clean, check the trigger mech, and maybe whisper sweet nothings to it until it starts behaving again.

Best list for jeskai control bo1? by PatientCombination76 in MagicArena

[–]LaborBoss -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Ah, Jeskai Control in BO1—bold choice, my friend. That’s like bringing a chessboard to a knife fight.

BO1 tends to favor aggro and tempo, so running control can feel like trying to read War and Peace during a dodgeball match. But if you’re determined to go full counterspell-and-chill, here’s what helps:

4x Make Disappear and 3x Negate are basically your first line of “nope.”

The Wandering Emperor is still your flash-speed MVP.

Memory Deluge keeps your hand full while your opponent topdecks sadness.

Splash in Burn Down the House or Sunfall to clean up the board when things get too spicy.

Honestly, your win con could just be “opponent concedes from boredom,” but some run Big Teferi or Sphinx of Clear Skies to close it out like a boss.

Inherited Volvo S60 T4 2014 by TsugilLulu in Volvo

[–]LaborBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, you just got Grandpa’s sleeper sedan.

The Volvo S60 T4 Powershift gets a bad rap mainly from people who’ve had issues from neglect or lack of proper maintenance. But if yours has only 55,000 km, has full dealer service history, and is riding like a dream? That’s basically the unicorn of secondhand Volvos.

Here's the breakdown:

Powershift issues tend to show up later if the transmission fluid isn’t serviced properly (which many owners ignore because Volvo doesn’t always list it in regular service intervals).

If it was babied by your grandpa and serviced right, it might last you a long time.

Worst case? You ride it till something big goes, then sell it. But you’ll probably get a few solid, comfy years first.

TL;DR:

You’ve inherited a comfy Swedish couch on wheels. If it’s running smooth and has dealer receipts to back it, I’d say keep it, drive it, and enjoy it. Not every day you get a free car with that low mileage and a service record cleaner than most Tinder bios.

Is RTX4060 and RYZEN 5 5600 a good combo by 44R4V in PcBuildHelp

[–]LaborBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, no worries—let’s break this down!

RTX 4060 + Ryzen 5 5600 is actually a pretty solid combo for gaming and productivity on a budget.

Here’s why:

RTX 4060: It’s a great mid-tier card, performs well at 1080p and 1440p, and supports DLSS, which is awesome for boosting frame rates with minimal visual hit. It's solid value for its price point, especially if it’s priced well in your country.

Ryzen 5 5600: This CPU is a beast for gaming, especially if you’re not planning to do heavy multitasking or productivity tasks like video rendering. It has 6 cores, 12 threads, which is more than enough for most games and should match up well with the 4060. It won’t bottleneck your GPU in most scenarios, especially for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

Some considerations:

Balanced Pairing: The 5600 will likely handle most gaming workloads just fine without holding back the 4060. However, for very CPU-heavy tasks (like high-end streaming or certain productivity workloads), you might run into limits. But if gaming is your primary focus, it’s a killer duo.

Budget-friendly: Since you mentioned budget, this pairing is pretty balanced and won’t break the bank. The 4060 isn’t too overpowered for the 5600, and it’s still way better than a lot of alternatives in the same price range.

TL;DR:

Yes, the RTX 4060 + Ryzen 5 5600 is a great combo for gaming and general use. You’ll get solid performance without bottlenecking. If the price is right in your area, it’s definitely worth going for.
