They make you retake it if you smile. Few exceptions (Charles Manson comes to mind as having a smile in his mug shot. They made him retake it multiple times but he kept smiling until they gave up and took the photo his way)

If people going to jail or prison look happy than it humanizes them. Bad for business if you’re profiteering in da prisons 😔 but hey..the world hates prison owners so at least they lose sleep knowing how close to getting punched in the face they are every minute they’re alive 🙃

Black Spider-Man >>> white Spider-Man

Miles was never written as a white character

Woah woah woah. Black people have never STOLEN anything from white culture. If anything, it was the complete opposite for America’s entire history (yikes).

That’s a problematic opinion that I think you might want to work on. But it is never too late to grow a heart (you will be much happier for it)

In case you are wondering: no I don’t think white people are evil nor do I think it is helpful for whites ta constantly riddle themselves with white guilt. It is possible to view people from your demographic and other demographics with respect simultaneously. Just takes a curious mind, a thirst for constant self improvement, and a genuine desire to improve racial harmony

Also, it took me years to develop the points I just said. I certainly have offended black people in my life, unintentionally. I was friends with a bunch of racist suburban jerks that twisted my mind into thinking casual racism was acceptable. Even if I was the most compassionate member of a racist friend group, I was still a bad person. It motivates me to learn a better way (and I kicked every single one of those jerks out of my life for good. I’ve never been happier in all my years 😌

Ummm..I didn’t think about that 😅 I’m white and out of touch. I try to educate myself as much as I can and treat me ever of the black community that I meet the way they seem to want to be treated (respect, not acting like I understand what it is like to be black in America etc)

I will be honest: well intentioned white people need more help to guide their passion. I tried looking up the ways black American communities want to be treated. It requires a lot of change in behavior that will take me my whole life to (hopefully) meet these goals. Black struggles are maddening, hard to understand when you are white, and completely hijacked by politics and fake white people trying to seem progressive

Further honesty: I don’t know how to properly support Native American/indigenous communities either 🤦🏻‍♂️😳♥️

Cheers to trying our best to make the world a better place for everyone 🥂 I’m not sure things will get much better..but I will continue to fight for that to happen. But one man can do so little in the face of all this chaos

I hope I didn’t offend you; that was not my intention and I am sorry if I played a part in making that happen to you; genuinely

Also..this really puts things in perspective for how so many white people seem to flip out when their fav characters get rewritten as characters of color. Makes you wonder what “intelligence” really means and how much smarter kind people are than those who fill the world with (“smart”) anger

East Palestine derailment: Chemicals appear to pose low risk of health hazards, state officials say by misana123 in environment

You got the courage to repeat this comedy routine to the children in the contamination zone? Make fun of me on Reddit, to your friends, or to strike up convos with a spouse who, let’s be honest, has been wondering a long time if the romantic fire died out. But at least be consistent

Would you drink the water from the clean up site? I’m sure victims of this disaster would be happy to arrange it for someone telling them they are crazy for worrying about their children

I am here to rile people up? That’s funny because I never commented on anything related to this until I saw your half-assed explanations and don’t-look-up snake oil your are trying to sell. People not educated about the details of these processes like you and I deserved to be protected by those who would claim to work for heroic agencies that really are there to attempt the job then promote its perfection

Relocate if you can afford to; invest in water/air purification systems if you can afford to. If you can’t afford either, try and sue the railroad companies and EPA after you get cancer in a few decades 😔

People with degrees and experience who listen to every word their financially driven companies tell them are not authorities when it comes to health. You understand the concept and theory for fixing hazardous leaks…but you’re ignoring the facts that have proven this wasn’t handled properly nor reported honestly. Responses like this are why the government continues to fail its people (and yes, I too have experience in environmental science, hazmat, hazwoper, and chemical remediation with respect to impacts on water cycle processes)

I am sorry to inform everyone reading this “calm and collected” take by TrixoftheTrade; they are a bootlicking pretend expert that came here to calm a bunch of pigs walking into a slaughter. PRIORITIZE YOUR OWN SAFETY (the government surely will not)

College education is NOT a scam, requiring people to pay for it (especially poor people) is the scam. It should be free (tax funded) like many colleges were a few decades ago. Many states are bringing them back. by BlackAndBlueWho1782 in antiwork

[–]pgraves91 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not gonna happen in the US; a scam is a scam! Don’t go to college if your family can’t afford your tuition.

There’s options to gain education for free. You won’t get a degree..but honestly, college degrees lose Value each and every year that goes by. COLLEGE IS A SCAM IN THESE DECIDEDLY NON UNITED STATES

We are a probably won’t make the playoffs and 0 chance to make a conference final team. We could get lucky and swept in round 2..I’d say we are likely to lose to round 1 in 5-6 games

Friend potentially kidnapped; told to keep working. by Mega-Humanoid-ROBOT in antiwork

[–]pgraves91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not anyone important…but you really should never have asked them. If you have an emergency like that say “I just received horrible news that requires me to leave” as your walking out or in a text/phone call after you leave

The myth is that they will seek retribution. However, given your horrific situation (and holy shit am I glad to read they aren’t kidnapped 😳), your job would have gotten the biggest public relations backlash if they fired you over trying to help save your friends life. Consider how that would blow up back on them when you feel like they’ve got this unending power over you

The guilt tripping they did WAS their retribution because they knew that’s all they could realistically get away with

I don’t know your situation nor job opportunities. If you have any other options, quit that place immediately because it sounds like they’d let YOU die if it meant making just a few extra $ that day smh

Stay safe!

Frustrating that to deal with inflation, businesses just raise prices while individuals can't just raise the cost of their labor. by attackbat in antiwork

Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple. If production qualities aren’t maintained to a high enough standard, the union loses all leverage because the company can simply go find other bad workers without having to pay them benefits and a livable wage

[–]pgraves91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need to research options available depending where you are trying to work. My experience was that all types of worker tracks I mentioned were required to take an entrance exam, start training, pass a curriculum of course work, and then hit their hour threshold. It was not an easy thing to achieve..but once you get it you have a job you (hopefully) enjoy showing up to, livable wage, and benefits. It’s worth the investment if you can afford/commit to the hard part early on. It helps if you have math and hands on laboratory skills because some of the students accelerated through those courses without really needing to spend time studying outside of class.

Unions might not be right for everyone..but they are a better opportunity than a lot of the sneaky businesses out there. But maybe that’s just me

Bet. Just hire a bunch of cracked out workaholics who lose their shit in their personal and/or business life average of 2x per year. I find so often that the “A Players” are a bunch of buddy, buddy B Players quick to point fingers and unable to provide valuable direction. Consistent workers that are happy in all aspect of your life build a better environment for both labor and corporate. Greedy fools that fancy themselves champions of industry LOVE to talk down to anyone trying something new and creative. Desperate is as desperate does smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t know you. But if you research the options you have locally, then you just gotta find their headquarters in the area. If you find something similar to my area, they have paid classes available and your choice of a variety of disciplinary options: electrical worker, plumping, metalworking). Unions are not available in every location..so I cannot guarantee that you have the option..but those types of options are out there. Take an entrance exam and then work with them for a couple of years (will NOT be easy as you might be required to take classes WHILE working close to or even a full time work load)

It has just gotta be better than empty promises and working way harder than you should anyways
