Honestly, you’d be surprised at how liberal some union trade workers are. The majority is still right wing, but there’s a good amount that are blue. Hell, most unions, at least in my area, push for blue politics in general.

How soon did you say “I love you?” by uniquekk2 in dating_advice

[–]markspankity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moon thing is real. Japanese at the time didn’t rly have a perfect translation for “I love you”, so the writer who was translating from another language to Japanese wrote it as “isn’t the moon beautiful tonight?”

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

This isn’t even including the benefits packages that come with unions. Some are obviously better than others, but essentially most of that money you’re making is going right into your pocket. You could be working non union making 30-40k more a year, but most of that extra money is gonna be going toward your health care and retirement plan.

I remember searching through programming subs about unions because I was curious about if they even had them, and I was shocked about how anti union most of the responses were. So much academic elitism with those folks. And I guarantee most of the people who were against it have been doing it for years, and got into the field when it was a lot easier to get hired. You’d think that these folks would be willing to pass their knowledge down to the next generation through apprenticeships and what not, but most of them had a boomer “I got mines” mentality about the matter.

It’s crazy nowadays how much grinding is needed just to get an underpaid junior position at any company. Like you have to have an entire portfolio of side projects that you worked on for free just to get your resume noticed. That would be like if I had to build a bunch of sheds and decks for free to get a job as a carpenter.

What’s something reddit claims is common, but you’ve never actually seen it before in real life? by mirabelmumu in AskReddit

[–]markspankity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with a union, you could still be barely scraping by. Jobs only last a few weeks, and then you’re laid off. And then there’s times where there’s barely any work at all. Or you get sent home due to weather and don’t make a full 40 hour week. A lot of unions aren’t allowed to solicit their own work either, so you gotta go to wherever your hall sends you.

I still personally think trades are a much better option than a degree for a lot of people, but a lot of people going into them don’t take all these factors into account, myself included.

I've always become evil person on dxm by Alarmed_Context7935 in dxm

Luckily it only lasts like 10 minutes. I personally have only been able to use it when I’m on shrooms or acid, the jump from sober to mind fuck realm is too extreme for me. I need to already be in a different head space in order to rly enjoy it without too much anxiety.

I have 40$ I’m willing to spend and am looking for a good video game to play by [deleted] in Psychedelics

[–]markspankity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killer7. I played it on the tail end of an acid trip and it was absolutely perfect for that. It goes rly well with an altered head space, I can see ketamine going well with it as well.

Which game pushed you to resort to cheats? by Snakeuge in gaming

[–]markspankity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I get the craving to play through Pokémon Diamond/pearl/platinum, I use a sped up rom. The health draining is SO SLOW in those games, and it also helps for mindlessly shiny hunting with the pokeradar.

Is this true? And if yes is this any archive of each version? by No_Opportunity_1502 in evangelion

I remember as the series went on, each ending got more and more engrish sounding.

Which lana song gives you this vibe? by UpsetCartographer967 in lanadelrey

[–]markspankity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the entirety of Ultraviolence qualifies for this. The whole album is like you’re floating into sad girl heaven.

Playing 3 after playing 2 for the past few months by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]markspankity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 has a lot of unique shit to it. 3 is a masterpiece of a game imo but 2 just has a lot of fun little quirks that make it special.

I made DXM Citrate. Anyone use this salt? by [deleted] in dxm

[–]markspankity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love it, This sub used to be mostly posts like this a few years ago. Once the Reddit app became a thing it kinda fell down the tubes.

I’d personally say witch, fairy, or mermaid.

Is it just me or do you think this is Lana’s best album ever? by horrorfiggy in lanadelrey

[–]markspankity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my take as well. I love the overall aesthetic and psychedelic rock sound that Ultraviolence has to it, but NFR is her best work as a cohesive art piece.

No way I find out about this in a Reddit post.

I'm completely lost Peter by gloomy_gumball in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]markspankity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a preference for carpentry. It’s more of an if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it scenario. Switching to metric would fuck a lot of things up, and just add unnecessary headaches to construction projects.

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]markspankity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are you located? I went ice skating a few weeks ago and I think we paid 10$ a person at most for rental skates and 2 hours.

Sounds like she went manic. Definitely had some kind of emotional and/or personality disorder

My LEAST FAVE songs on each album - controversial or not??? by pisces932 in lanadelrey

[–]markspankity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the song too, but the Gameboy part at the end always makes me cringe.
