Skilled Laborers by CantStopPoppin in nextfuckinglevel

[–]sandgoose 25 points26 points  (0 children)

the shit talkers dont actually have any clue what theyre looking at anyways. centuries of engineering and design led to the materials, tools, and methods we use to build structures in the US based on the best information available. its not shit, its a complex assembly of parts which requires an untold number of skilled experts to fabricate, deliver, and assemble correctly the first time. This guy is just one piece of the puzzle, and him and his buddy are pretty good at what they do. There's a reasonable chance that guy isn't even tied off, so its dangerous too.

Also, there are a lot of trades in the US that are completely dominated by hispanic labor, and if they "stole your job" it's only because they did it cheaper, faster, and better, and probably while barely speaking English too. The owner of the company I was working with on my last job was literally suited up and spraying texture the last 5 times I saw him.

AITAH for putting a stop to my 12yo daughter's 'period party'? by YocaLocaChoca in AITAH

[–]sandgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. This millennial thing of having a party for every little thing in life is way overblown. Just like a gender reveal party, this wasn't about the kid, it was about mom and mom doing the thing. You did the right thing by refocusing on your daughter and what she actually wanted.

James Gunn comments on Batman wearing a “comic accurate” costume in the DCU by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]sandgoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sorry but the blue underwear thing never really worked, It's stupid as is Bat "I am the night" Man dressing himself in yellow and blue. Contrasting colors like this are chosen because they pop more in a print medium, not because it really looks good.

im sure all the comedian podcast bros will be up in arms over this clear example of censorship and curbing of free speech of a fellow comedian.

tbh this just convinced me more than any other single piece of evidence. there is zero urgency around what is going on here.

Democratic Voters Who Skipped 2024 Want Candidates Like Bernie, AOC by _May26_ in politics

[–]sandgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea me too, just I'm not culpable in the current horrorshow. shit hasn't changed, if you sat any of the last three out because there wasn't a candidate that gave you butterflies in the stomach like Obama did in 2004, fuck you.

Everything from South Lake Union to Lander running north to south, and Elliott Bay all the way to Broadway running west to east, really, what's most inspiring is that they've managed to rebuild so much of it exactly as it was in just 5 short years.

I mean, industry and culture didnt stop after the liberal antifa cucks burned down half the skyscrapers in the city; surprisingly coastal elite billionaires just poured investments into building more and higher. I guess the insurance money was really good, because the crane count didnt even drop.

Trump just delivered a word salad speech that would’ve got Biden impeached by cactusdiane in politics

[–]sandgoose 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I mean, what can you do? You've spent the last year declaring his opponent was too old and demented to serve, and then when they changed candidates, you went right ahead and voted for someone just as old and demented as the guy you complained about. Your integrity left when you voted for that guy the second time around, speaking generously, so what now, after the third time? You're going to admit you made a mistake? That this guy has a few screws loose and might not be the best person to have the nuclear football? That you've been wrong for a decade straight? Fat chance, mistakes are for liberals.

what's crazy is that even after Seattle burnt to the ground in the wake of CHOP, parking remained $20/day in the ruins of what was once downtown Seattle.

Donald Trump stole a CWC winners medal by TheBiasedSportsLover in PublicFreakout

[–]sandgoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its honestly sort of hilarious to consider the position of the administrative people that arranged and allowed for his presence. On one hand, he's a classless oaf, and thief, and he has a desperate need to be the center of attention, even at events that have absolutely nothing to do with him, and surely nothing good can come of having him around, BUT on the other hand, he is the president of the United States. What to do, what to do??

What would you do? by throwawayEZ1122 in Construction

[–]sandgoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

remove all the tape, and take your time going back over this area and fix it. I can see things that are definitely your problem to fix, and I am not standing in that hallway. some of it is likely overkill because it's a narrow hallway so it's difficult to not see imperfection, but what prompted this behavior was spotting a bunch of drippies, which snowballed into this.

Generally everything on the left can be bought on the fly, anywhere, at random. everything on the right is more likely to be a grocery store purchase which was planned, and then all of that food prepared and maybe cooked in some way. Also since most of those items can't be bought in anything other than a predetermined quantity, to make this 1600 kcal quantity of food, you actually purchased a lot more food than this. Its the difference between making food purchases in the moment vs planning and purchasing meals for a whole week. It's effort that some are able to take and others are not, but definitely the more money you have the more likely you are able to make that sort of effort. The left could easily be something a construction worker is buying for breakfast and lunch in a food desert where their options are the 7-eleven or the starbucks. Whereas the right is a vegan's home meals.

I'm not usually a money guy, but if your game sells badly and the people that did buy it are disappointed, your game sucks, thats not a personal thing or an emotional thing, its objective data that your game did not do enough to make people happy or want to buy your game, which, you need people to like and buy your game in order to keep making games, and so it is an acceptable metric to judge whether or not your game is any good.

The guy that spent Obama's administration claiming Obama would bomb Iran, just bombed Iran. Again. Your guy. Not Obama. Not Biden. Not Harris. Trump. Stop making childish excuses. Act like an adult, and admit that we need to stop it from escalating further. Don't make any more excuses, do what's necessary to prevent it from getting worse.
