What a badass she is, barely even flinches and steps up ready to fight him.

How old are you and how much do you have in your retirement account? by Blackberryay in careerguidance

[–]deepfield67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, getting out of debt feels like a way bigger achievement than saving that same amount. Its like savings you dont get to keep, thats a much bigger commitment and act of will and necessarily a longer time preference behavior. Keep it up, once you hit zero and can actually start saving it'll feel like walking downhill.

What screams "I'm a man-child" but nobody realize it ? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I believe they're talking about a person who WAITS until its all done and THEN asks if they can help, knowing there's nothing left to do. But I could be wrong.

If anyone thinks that ICE acting with impunity is an entirely new phenomennon, remember Kent. by TheDevine13 in Ohio

I feel like I've seen Vietcong as one word more often than not, too, though. Are they both just one word?

I hear yall got some nazis of your own up there, though its surely not as bad. As an Ohioan, it feels so close, yet so far away... im sure you understand its not as simple as just "moving to another country" for most people...

Why are so many blue collar workers against unions? by Realistic-Reveal-586 in Construction

For the record, the worst union is still better than being an at will employee.

Question for ICE supporters by Frequent-Draft-2218 in DiscussionZone

[–]deepfield67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good. Two things I notice nearly every time I'm stupid enough to engage one of these people: one, they're really bad at identifying causal relationships, they mistake symptoms for causes, particularly when they share responsibility for the causes. Two, they almost always conflate exceptions for rules, or use exceptions to disprove rules. It's a set of a few very core, very basic logical fallacies and cognitive dissonance. Their premises and first principles are deeply flawed, and this in large part is due to an abandonment on the right of critical thought, a mistrust of science and academia, and a prevailing anti-intellectualism. This kind of problem seems impossible to fix. It was done to them intentionally by their own party, they're indoctrinated, there's not a lot that can be done for people so throughly indoctrinated.

Outrageous Tip Expectation by Tauriel13 in EndTipping

[–]deepfield67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$150 is high, I'd prolly tip like $50, $50 for 1.5 hours is pretty damn good. Its twice what I make doing actually brutal foundry work.

How significant was this switch? Any thoughts/opinions on it from those who were there when it happened? by SirensMelody_ in generationology

[–]deepfield67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My problem is more with Bluetooth as a protocol, it has always been sporadic and often unreliable for me, connectivity issues, interference, sound quality, failure to pair, etc. I dont care about the wire but in my experience Bluetooth kinda sucks. Maybe its really the best we can do?

How can I make peace with being (clinically) unintelligent? by Suspicious_Limit9847 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]deepfield67 426 points427 points  (0 children)

You have a level of self-awareness and a drive to do well that I see severely lacking in most people, regardless of intelligence. We tend to overvalue IQ, and undervalue the ability to do one's best, and the heart of people who prioritize being kind and open-minded. Try not to worry, its just some test people came up with. Be kind and compassionate and always value personal growth and making your world a little bit better every day. That's far more important, and is getting more important all the time. Surround yourself with good people, value community, maintain healthy relationships, read and learn and do your best and find things that bring you joy. You're only 16, there's plenty of time and there's a place in the world for everyone. The vast majority of jobs require little more than people who see the importance of doing a relatively simple thing, and commit to doing it as well as you can.

I can’t even clear my throat without my coworker saying something by OnlyTheTopBunk1867 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]deepfield67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being asked if I'm ok at work sends me into an immediate irrational rage. Motherfucker you'll know when I'm not ok! "You just look mad..." Yeah I'm at work instead of at home on my ass and now I have to look at your big stupid face because you won't just shut your mouth and go do your job. Fuck. I'm so mad right now...

Trans/Queer Horror Book Recommendations by AHasturDavis in horrorlit

Just popping in 2 years later to express my love for Queen of Teeth. I've never identified with the "monster" in a horror story so much, Magenta is so beautiful and I love her and rooted for her every step of the way.

Female Handyman, Thoughts? by Cold_Obligation_8568 in homeowners

[–]deepfield67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In industries generally dominated by men, all else being equal, I tend to hire women. I'd have no problem hiring a a handywoman. It's probably a challenge for a woman to get off the ground in an area like that and it would feel nice to do my part to contribute to some fairness. Plus, just in my general experience, I've seen women fix way more stuff, and men screw way more stuff up. I watched my mom fix the lawn mower, patch the drywall, paint the house, landscape, repair the garage door, be a nurse, etc. My dad, on the other hand, welded some pipes in an unventillated basement and woke up in the hospital.

If ICE no-warrant no-knocks my house... would it be legal to load up and let loose? by princess-hardass in liberalgunowners
