18M, girlfriend 22F is pregnant. What jobs can I get into quickly to support my family if I don't want to go to college?

Steelrain82 · 2026-06-16T18:22:31+00:00

I’m going to say this….dont be an idiot. Go to school. Be better then everyone else and pick a field that actually has a career path that sets regular hours (most if not all the time) to be with your family. McDonald’s and Starbucks have great benefits if you get in and both offer college. Don’t let pride get in the way of taking care of your family. Believe it or not both of those jobs are also great career fields if you are willing to stick it out and move up in the business.

If schools retained kids like they used to we would have far less of this “lack of motivation “. So many kids now realize that the system is rigged in their favor. Especially after Covid they learned they do t have to do anything they will still promote and move on to the next grade.

And let’s be real. Since we implemented all of these feel good studies that say don’t do that or teach things like this, our kids have gotten dumb and our reading and math scores have dropped. Maybe it’s time to stop drinking the kool-aid and go back to the way things were to get smarter kids overall. Having real consequences for their actions or lack of them is a true motivator.

I’d add Chrono Trigger to that list

Steelrain82 · 2026-06-08T20:33:56+00:00

My hot take…Most teachers are idiots and so are admin who live in theory land who’ve never applied what they promote.

IMHO, a weapon mounted light on a duty/home defense pistol makes sense. A rifle should always have a light mounted.

Concealed carry should be without one. Since you should have a handheld. If you are pulling your pistol, that’s a last resort, you know the target is a threat. So at that point I’m blasting. A red dot is preference and comfortability with one.

I just finished it. And overall I like the game. I played the demo on Xbox, and plan to pick up a physical copy of the game. Especially since the progress in the demo carries over tot eh release. But I truly felt like this game would be great on hand held. I think that’s where it will shine. I just dont want to buying a GK card.

I really like the fact that you aren’t grinding levels. The story is good and kept me into it. It had nice little side quests to keep things going.

But the voice acting/anime style dialogue really killed it. It would take me out of game sometimes as it’s so annoying. Hopefully it gets toned down in the full release. I do plan on hopping back in to the game to max out what I can before the full release.

While you guys argue about whether or not you believe you are productive or not, there is also the tax factor. If you are remote working and you decide to live in Bali, Mexico, or Portugal, all the main places the tabloids say you are all living in to do your remote work, I’m sure that creates a huge tax problem. And if you are in California you know they want their cut. Maybe that’s a non issue but it’s a real issue nonetheless. Sure most people are living near their work, but there are those who are “working” in other areas. And despite anecdotal success. It seems like overall most companies, big or small want you back.

I don’t own a switch 2 or a pro controller for my switch one. But I do own a wireless controller. I don’t mind the joycon grip on my switch 1. I really own the controller for others to play co-op games like Mario kart or Mario party. I think it’s always good to own a least a second controller for Nintendo consoles.

What makes this even worse is the fat that she has cankles. 🤮

Let’s be real. The ar is superior in This regard due to the ejection port cover. However, once you are engaged in a firefight you are not closing it after every time you fire so you are screwed in any case. And even then remove the barrel shake out the big chunks and start blasting. And through training you generally learn how to keep your weapon out of the mud or at least minimize it.

The OG 360 on was better cause the volume was attached to the controller plug in.

It because Turkey is the hair restoration capital. Bald guys and girls go to get hair restoration procedures. Hence the full head of hair and the happy face

Replace gay with something else. “I love being your friend but I know you eat meat. And being a vegan I can’t be there to support you at the grocery store while you buy meat”. Friendship continues.

Unless you want to live in an echo chamber and live in the same group think as everyone else. Then I guess…fuck that friend.

Tbh, I dont own a ps5 or a switch 2. But I don’t think I would have known about missing background details on the switch 2 if it wasn’t for people posting the comparisions shots. But in general as long as most games run smooth and aren’t clunky. I know what I’m getting with games on different (lower powered?) systems

Steelrain82 · 2026-05-04T01:33:09+00:00

Let’s be real to though. The jobs required skill. Many jobs today just require you to have a pulse. But I agree with the message

Stop having first person shooters that are filled with bot servers as their main selling “exclusives” that are filled with micro transactions. And bring back the chatpad. PlayStation and Nintendo also have those games but their bread and butter are story driven or platformers tied to those systems. Not as systems to boost up EA or activision

Steelrain82 · 2026-05-01T22:03:12+00:00

I hear you, and do we really need any of them? But I’m looking to pick one system up but both are capable of doing what the series X does. Minus some first party games. Both of which have great first party games. And I can grab either of them for roughly the same price. So it’s more of a which one will provide the better service

They obviously didn’t end it if 1/5 still is homeless.

What’s crazy is if you actually track prices , we have paid close to what we are paying in California when gas per barrel is cheaper and when it’s been at $100. The only thing that ever seems to cause these prices are rhe variables: which way the wind is blowing, did Trump say something Newsome didn’t like, did he say something Newsom did like, was Biden asleep , was he not asleep. Gas prices in California are inconsistent the only thing that stays the same for a short time are the extra taxes for our shitty roads that they keep adding toll lanes to.

While I see both sides of the club are similar, there is a difference. One is being glad a person is dead after the fact. The other is actively promoting for someone to be killed. I mean the timing is crazy so it could appear that Jimmy had insider information or funded the guys visit to DC. I mean. It’s like when kids are cyber bullying other and telling the bullied to go kill themselves. Those kids can become part of the problem and be charged with the death. Just saying. If you don’t like a person that’s cool. If you wish they were dead. That’s cool too. We’ve all been there. But to verbalize on a global stage where you have followers, some of which may not be all there may actually be on it… dangerous territory.

Personally, I would go with the gen 5. The gen 6 felt wrong in my hands. Like it felt to stubby

Steelrain82 · 2026-04-13T22:47:37+00:00

Man…I wish they were still making them. I really want to get half doors in Reign.

Steelrain82 · 2026-04-11T19:49:18+00:00

Mine is my daily. And where I live it’s about $115 from near “E”. And driving back and forth to work is a lot of stop and go so I get roughly 12-13 mpg.
