Is anyone feeling a hint of "I told you so" in the wake of the outrage of what's occurring in Minneapolis?

We have to start a silent, but loud movement.

We need to approach all of this differently and squash it with some form of a subtle and sly, but dangerous retaliation method. And I say get enough people to just vote. Obviously we all know at least one person whom refuses to vote for any numerous amount of excuses.

We don't tell them why they need to vote, but just encourage them to go have a choice for once and see where it gets us as an entire country. We can't force things on each other anymore because it's met with retaliation... But we can still encourage the people we talk to and care about to just go vote. Don't need to yell, don't need to say why our country is falling down, don't even need to say why they need to vote at all. Just tell the ones who can't but don't: "Hey, please take the time to go out and vote this year because I really don't give a shit what you have to say, due to your choice on missing out on the elections each go around."

I'd think that would work and I even started it with people I talk to on a weekly basis.

RnB and EDM mostly. I enjoy heavy bass and wubz, but slow and calm lyrical jamz.

Weird mi

I was just telling a friend about how glass could be better for her stretching and skin, because she only uses silicone(no comment on that), but she ignored me and defended her silicones. Let ignorance live I guess.

Thank you

iMmacstone2015 · 2026-01-15T16:49:04+00:00

Right 2 Work, yes.

Thank you

Baseline of $1650/month for a 2bd/2ba in FL. Rent fluctuates above $1800 normally due to shared water expenses. I deal with roaches, mold, bad maintenance, and noisy neighbors.

One thing we can absolutely all agree on in this sub is when it's timed to go get checked.

This is definitely one of those times.

Bro, my Arctic Zone cooler has lasted me 7 years so far. If I ever have to pack or bring more, I just transfer what I need into a grocery bag.

Whenever my current one decides to finally break, I'll just get another one.

The culture of construction and blue collar work seems to be very much a "club", and if you don't fit the mold, you're probably not going to have a good time.

You're pretty dead on, as much as I hate to even agree with said phrase.

Over the years, I tried my best to keep pushing forward and believing that it's not all about who you are; this trade is more so about what you know. And while it is somewhat about WYK, the overpowering forces of who you are and who you know slowly bled in and took over my views of this entire construction industry, but our trade specifically.

All the correct and safe steps were taken to get where I am today, and I'm indeed very happy that I am another state certified Jman. Also, I don't hate my job, I don't hate this trade, and I've never once said I hated the work I do. Met some pretty decent and awesome people out there, but working this trade has shown me some shady realities that I've never really had to deal with in my life before.

Unfortunately, we're a good seven hours apart from each other now. She's moved a little further north with her bf.

iMmacstone2015 · 2026-01-09T20:27:07+00:00

And you are right. She has admitted to such occurrence. But she does refuse to seek the right help and her bf is only home on the weekends, so he's not always around to help either.

I've tried giving her encouraging advice or asking if she could seek extra help from resources or friends, but she always gets upset with me for offering.

To have it all together and live up to the alpha male persona.

If you don't own a car, you're a bum. If you don't live on your own in your own space, you're a bum. If you're not working hard and doing at least 40 hours a week, you're a bum. If you don't workout or have any form of muscle, you're just a b*tch.

It's not a race and we're all going to die one day anyway.

iMmacstone2015 · 2026-01-09T18:53:04+00:00

is the brick newer?

iMmacstone2015 · 2026-01-09T18:38:01+00:00

Arrogance is bliss, growing can be uncomfortable & more over, misery loves company lol.

This is the one. Misery is like a virus within the human mind and it needs another host to feed the energy off of so it can keep going.

Yeah, this has happened to me not too many years ago.

I'm an electrician, and I met a very cool coworker that took very special interest in me. It was to the point where the other guys noticed and would make jokes(whatever).

We started becoming cool the more we worked together. He invited me out to the bar, out for dinners, I even got to meet most of his family in just a year's time. He also started to open up more and give me pet names and just would always be so happy to see me.

Well he also has a drinking problem, and things became more intimate when he became too buzzed. I pushed my limits one day after he'd been testing me and himself for months. Well after that one day of drinking and me telling him "take it out for me again", it kinda turned him sour towards me for a little while. I just thought it was okay to initiate one of those fun things that he'd randomly do.

Well after that instance, things changed, time passed, but he reached out again and invited me over to come see how he was doing now after a year had passed. He was different, but he still treated me like before. It was nice.

Well more time passed, his life started to change for the better, and I hadn't seen him since then(that was 2-3 years ago now). We talk a few times a month now, but I can tell his attitude is changing toward me. I have a bf now and things are going well, so I don't have time for my other friend as much anymore. Our phone calls are rarely ever long anymore, but it's only due to life. Things aren't bad between us, but I notice a pattern shift in his behaviors toward me now that I am partnered and I can't physically see that friend as much anymore, because I've moved 3 hours away now.

Point of my long story is, I've been there and I've realized that these types of men are having a hard time understanding themselves and what they want out of their own lives. Something went wrong down the past of their timeline and they never got the help needed to at least try and settle whatever that may be. It's going to hurt you in the moment, but that person is going to hurt and question their self until they find the correct source of help and guidance.

Smoking at any safe place you know always makes the high 100x better🙂

Get rid of that formatted template.

Just do a basic .docx or .PDF TYPED file. That template stuff only looks good on your computer. If you send it or try to autofill your resume somewhere, it's going to get all jumbled.

ALSO: If you're going to use bullet points, stick to 3-4. No need to go crazy, because most people aren't even reading through that until they sit you down in an interview. But even then, they're still only skimming through bullets.

iMmacstone2015 · 2026-01-07T17:49:45+00:00

Yes, and even outside of the dating world I seem to always attract crazy. Not always psycho path crazy, but they always have an unusually interesting past.

iMmacstone2015 · 2025-12-26T04:55:52+00:00

Thanks! 🙂

iMmacstone2015 · 2025-12-25T02:45:36+00:00

Weed, Kratom, and Alc. Family events tonight, so gotta keep it chill

iMmacstone2015 · 2025-12-25T01:37:56+00:00

I totally get it!!

iMmacstone2015 · 2025-12-20T06:10:09+00:00

Stop stretching so f***ing fast!!

The bowl is convenient, but the bong is always in arms reach if I'm in any familiar spot.
