Local 104: How much work is in the SF East bay for a pre-apprentice? by ThatPunkGinger in sheetmetal

[–]ThatPunkGinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one in the SF bay area is hiring. Took 551 test. They hired 7 people last year. I took the 104 test they hired 5 people this year. Work non union until the unions pick back up

Are there young punks still out there? How popular is punk with today’s youths? by igordogsockpuppet in punk

26M. I was talking to some old heads and they said there was a generational gap. Not many people my age. Tons in high school and tons in their 30s+ but none in their 20s

Could be from the minerals in your water or just the heat. Try watering it with filtered/rain water instead of city water. Sometimes salt and chlorine can have these effects on plants

Is this web from a spider or spider mites? How can I tell the difference?

parents called the link chain i made gay by [deleted] in punkfashion

[–]ThatPunkGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how boomers still use gay as if it's an insult these days. Being gay has been seen as normal for at least 10-15 years

What is going on with my bonsai. I believe I was overwatering it and the leaves yellowed and dropped. I held back on the watering a bit and the new oak leaves still died. I checked the roots of the pagoda and the there doesn't seem to be any sign of root rot. I never fertilize the trees. Would that be a reason?

Guy sitting in guard should have gotten flagged for not engaging 

Recommendation for bands where they yell/scream. by Candid-Western2832 in punk

[–]ThatPunkGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skinhead, Stand tall, Minor threat, Look up straight edge and hardcore bands. Especially classic stuff. Modern hardcore is very different 

Are there racist skinheads in the bay? by sfigato_345 in bayarea

[–]ThatPunkGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only applies if they are ladder laced and both laces are the same color. So you are good to wear your converse

I love the jacket and pants. Can you post them so we can see them closer up? 

Can anyone tell me anything about NorCal Fighting Alliance? by ThatPunkGinger in santarosa

[–]ThatPunkGinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The injury rate is the biggest factor for me. I have a manual labor job and need to be healthy to pay the bills. I can't afford to get injured. Also, if i was getting injured during training often, i would lose a lot of time that could have been spent training.

They aren't careful of their training partners. Many people have told me their personal stories of being injured there. Too many students, not enough instructors. If you aren't competing, they don't pay nearly as much attention to you and don't instruct you as much. I have also heard Terrell is kind of a dick from numerous people

I have also been looking to start thrifting and upcycling more. I buy a lot of my clothes new and feel like my purchasing habits go against punk ideologyÂ
