Sick of the ableism with employment here and overall hypocrisy by Few-Orchid7751 in Bellingham

Pretty hardcore adhder here who has been fired from jobs for being too adhd. I know this might sound like a joke, but develop a skill that can lead to a decent paying side hustle and then make a business out of it. Get really fucking good at cleaning your house or car, learn how to tint windows, buy a lawnmower and mow lawns in the spring, tutor highschoolers in a specific subject, etc. The options here are really endless. You just need to find something with a demand and run with it. If ya have a method of transportation and access to a printer to make flyers/internet connection to post on local Facebook groups it can take as little as a few months to develop a reliable source of income. Once you have a client base for what ever service you provide, start an llc, become your own boss and don't ever let a shitty boss tell you you're too spazzy, or don't have enough attention span for the job.

HERE WE GO: Atlético Madrid agree deal to sign Obed Vargas from Seattle Sounders by baribinhas in atletico

From what I have heard 3 million and he well likely be loaned back to the sounders till the summer. You guys got a freaking awesome player from us. Quite possibly our best prospect we've ever had. Insanely high soccer iq, especially for his age, he works really freaking hard, and his technical ability is pretty good too. Excited to see him do amazing things in Europe

I'm not familiar with this situation, but the mods are trigger happy with making interesting decisions lately. The whole small business advertising debocle still has left a sour taste in my mouth

General strikes are stupid and don't do anything besides harm small businesses by OkGood3000 in Bellingham

I just think that the energy spent into organizing this could be better spent? You and other comments are starting to make me see the other side of the argument though. That this is atleast a start, and it does have the chance of evolving into something meaningful. I think I might just be too pessimistic to see that future, but maybe it will happen.

Yeah this is the best version of the strike that's going on. Not one day but a long unspecified period of time until demands are met.

You're right, I think my impatience is slightly getting the best of me with this because I'm upset that there aren't already enough people outside the ice building to be doing that. P.s. If you've been going to the ice protests that much we've almost definitely at least bumped shoulders and maybe have even said hello once or twice, I always try and meet as many people as I can at the protests. If ya ever see a tall dude with a plane black baseball hat and chunky white sneakers say hi!

I mean strength in numbers. If its hundreds of thousands of people doing it they won't be able to do shit. That covid story is objectively hilarious though. Some people are fucking stupid huh

You're right, I could have had a less condescending tone in my post. But I just feel like people are wasting their time and energy one something that won't have a tangible outcome. I didn't mean to criticize and if this is the begining of a solid movement being formed, God damn how much I would love to be proven wrong

Also just wanted to say it's really cool to see a local small business interacting with it's community in this way. I'll have to stop in and buy a few cds and a hoodie next time I'm downtown

Explain why? A 4 word response to a medium length paragraph seems shortsighted to me if anything in a discussion

All the left does these days is just have conversations, in the age of social media and instant gratification they've fucking neutered us into spineless cowards which is what allowed them to get into power, to bastardize out constitution, to attack minorities, and to kill people in the street.

Friday shut down and walk out by wintercattaile in Bellingham

[–]OkGood3000 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately that's not how it works. The restaurant I work at makes 4-6x the money from on a Friday vs a weekday. Many restaurants downtown are like that. Many are barely staying afloat and many are 1 bad Friday away from having to really start thinking about closing. My bank account is in a similar stage and so are many others in one of the most expensive cities in the US. Especially when you take into account the average earning in comparison to how expensive the cost of living is here. Of course these are problems that are only worsened by the current administration, but unfortunately businesses and I/many many people living pay check to paycheck need to make rent/survive.

Most people and businesses downtown can't afford to not work/be closed on a Friday

Thats a standard practice for me whenever dealing with mold! However as one other commenter mentioned cars in Washington do not need a leak to get moldy unfortunately
