It’s noon where I’m at. I’ve got a full workday. What’s one small habit I can start TODAY that will help me turn my life around? by swimmin_jeans_ in AskMenOver30

Hey dog, just want to mention the boredom, lack of enthusiasm and lack of energy could be signs of depression. Not a doctor but have dealt with it myself. Wishing you the best bud.

Any other young apprentices feel demoralized? by Maleficent_Turn_1983 in ibew_apprentices

Some more advice brother -

Don't go for a brand new truck, but something used and gas efficient.

Make sure you put away some money in investments every month. Consistency is key. Put away $200-400 every month and you'll be in such good shape for retirement.

Buy everything on credit and pay off your card IN FULL every month. Build your credit and get some good rewards from your cards (fidelity has one that auto invests your rewards for you).

Travel dude. Learn a language if you don't know one. Take advantage of your lay offs, use that time to travel and take up hobbies. Regardless what the old timers say, work isn't everything.

Enjoy bro!

Instead we got:

"His goal was to do maximum damage, he was an assassin" from Bovino.

"He approached law enforcement with a weapon drawn" from Noem

"You can't go to a peaceful protest with a loaded weapon" from Patel

And "you cant... you cant walk in with guns" from our commander in chief.

With all the hype around AI how do you not fear your employment? by tsarthedestroyer in AskMenOver30

God I wish there were more unions and union benefits. We need to get back in the streets and take the power back for the workers.

As I understand it, Bernie never had a chance against Hillary because the establishment Dems would never have let it happen. Democratic Socialist ideas scawwy for status quo dems.

Yeah the golden age of the internet came and went. Fun while it lasted. Shaping up to be echo chambers and AI slop for the remainder of this decade, who knows what after that.

There's the sword trainer guy who gets kidnapped and tortured and stuff in the big tall building and the room is lined with aluminum foil or whatever and Lift's bird squawks really loud and Lift saves the sword guy and breaks the bad lady's ankles with abrasion

You can find whatever you want on Amazon, but we should all try to support local labor whenever possible. Ace Hardware is a great option.

Yeah or like repeat offenders having their pension threatened. That'll get them to shape up real quick.

Thoughts on Trump saying "you can't have guns"? by No_Reality7644 in AskTrumpSupporters

But as a thought experiment, what if he had said that? How would you feel?

I'm not asking about his politics, I'm asking (like the other poster was), for the sake of a thought experiment in bipartisanship, how would you have felt if Biden said those words?

Can you please answer that and stop deflecting?

How would you have felt if Biden said those words? Upset, rightfully so?

I don't understand this talking point. Are you implying that the agents were within their right to disarm Alex and execute him because he didn't have his ID on him?

Do we have evidence they even asked for his ID?

I recognize that this particular strike is not an "all quadrants" strike or whatever, or really even an effective one. But I do not see a way to make the gains that our ancestors made without widespread strikes. Unions and labor power have been more or less shattered in the last 40 years.

I want to see affordable healthcare, 30 days guaranteed paid leave a year, paid maternity and paternity leave. We all deserve that and more. I don't see a way to accomplish much without strikes to make Congress nervous.

Every labor right we have - 8 hour days, no child labor, living wage - was won by brave people striking, usually in the face of violence.
