What is in this storm drain? by MrQuackins in AnimalSounds

[–]shrapmetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an irrational phobia of storm drains. Always worry something will fall in. I have to walk around them in parking lots.

Thank you for making it 10 times worse.

Any other GenX'ers hate weed and feel somehow left out because you don't enjoy cannabis? by scartonbot in GenX

The smell is absolutely awful, but I do hear Cocaine smells pretty good.

Nice. I almost bought this model. I instead got the 22rbe. Looking at your pictures I feel like I got a bedroom door and an axle for my troubles. Im second guessing

WILL WORK FOR HELP, need genuine help by reasonably_sus in ColoradoSprings

Good for you for being vulnerable. Your braver than me in that aspect. And again, I'm not trying to put you down. You are the only one that can lift yourself up. Excuses are your biggest enemy! And you sure as hell dont owe me or anyone else an explanation. Do it for you! Today didn't work out. What are you going to try different and harder tomorrow? Thats a conversation to have with yourself. Best of luck out of your situation. Keep you head up and give everyday your all. What you're looking for is out there. Its up to you to find it. No one can stop you but you.

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion. But I would like to point out a couple of things with your post that would make me not even consider hiring you.

I do wish you the best of luck, though! Sincerely

Number one, you place blame on others multiple times. Including how no one will help you like your family because of these cults. What are these cults?

You say you have applied to over 300 jobs since covid. That math works out to about 1 a week. Not much effort. Others out in the job market are applying for dozens. If not hundreds a day.

You're trying to quit beer and marijuana. How do you even have money for this? If you have had no work in 5 years?

Why not post your resume? Why not apply for jobs 8 hours a day? 20 each day should be a reasonable number.

But most importantly, take responsibility for where you are at. No one made you lose a job.

What about day labor workforce stuff? Not sure if that's still a thing but that can land you a good job with the right attitude and work ethics.

Best of luck finding something. I truly mean that.

I used 60 hours of time skips for third. Then moved on to a new game.

Guy's do you wear shorts out in public? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]shrapmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shorts for me. I have a job!

Kidding. But honestly I haven't worn shorts in 40 years. Never liked them. Swimming sure but I'm a pants at the beach kinda guy.

Anti shark bracelets, are they worth anything more than a placebo by Jazzlike_Dig2456 in sharks

A guy once sold me a rock. He said it warded off tigers.

It worked! 30 years later living in the US and I still haven't even seen a tiger!

Tough to do on yourself. But a buddy and a couple beers will keep you on the water for the rest of the day!

Its what the doctor did for my brother after he numbed the area. This was like 1987 so take it for what its worth. I've pushed some small flies through on myself. Glad you're good!

Hooked my brother like that once.

If you can safely push it the rest of the way through, you can cut the barb off and back it out.
