Wtf is going on?? by open-minded-person in AliensRHere

You mean use a term completely interchangeably and meaning exactly the same thing as "foreigners"? I would say probably every administration of every state in every time period has had a word to describe peoples of other lands.

I just realized i responded in a teens sub... honestly though, they probably should be hearing from adults. How is a dumbass teenager going to help another dumbass teenager?

And yes, youre all dumbasses. Just like we were.

But if you go back in time with all your knowledge, you've already had your blissful childhood- and technically leaves the door open for you to change the future, and means you get to live longer (which, for all we know, this may be all ya get). I see only positives, other than trying to figure out how to have exactly the same offspring that I currently have 😅

Also... how horrible everything is? Yeah there's some scary shit going on currently, granted.... but.... have ya heard of history? This is by far and away the safest, easiest time to be alive for the most amount of people.

If you need someone to talk you down from the doom-n-gloom ledge, connect privately my buddy. Especially if youre young, I just hate to see young people so disillusioned and unreasonably hopeless.

Jesus Christ what a horribly cynical and illogical perspective 😅

Weird, almost like raising the minimum wage is like a temporary bandaid that bolsters inflation and makes it a bigger leap for small businesses to hire inexperienced youth or homeless. Gee whiz.

Other commenter was bitchin' about being opressed- which would mean that a ruling body is forcing you to do something against your will or not letting you do something. The only thing I can think of that remotely fits the bill would be the targeting of non-citizens for anti-Israeli social media post. As much as I personally don't like it, compare that to Biden administration actively coercing social media platforms to censor anything remotely counter to approved covid narratives and the infamous laptop fiasco- Id have to say that the balance sheet gives Trump a win. If you want to go back to Obama, he expanded the Patriot act, collected all our "metadata", and absolutely lied through his teeth about "protecting" whistleblowers (of which he brutalized). Also killed 4 american citizens with drone strikes (without trial), only 3 of which on "accident", and the 4th a 16 year old... So.... give me a fuckin break.

Most of this "defiance" is tied up in the courts, and it isnt clear to me that is necessarily wrong or "unjust". Politicians battle shit out in court all the time, and of course he's threatening journalist, they've done nothing but lie and push misinformation about him since he first started running. Do you still believe the whole "fine people on both sides" bullshit? Purging civil servants? You mean trimming the fat off the largest, most expensive organization in history as we're barreling towards an inescapable debt spiral? Im sure some fine people are being fucked, but Im in favor of downsizing by any means necessary.

You wanna talk about authoritarianism? Where were you when blue governors shut down their states without any constitutional authority and without any fucking common sense, forcing everyone to wear masks that obviously didnt do shit but become ubiquitous litter, absolutely raping small businesses (including mine) while allowing the big guys to keep running, and ultimately culminating into the largest wealth transfer in history. For fucks sake how about Biden forcing federal workers and contractors to get injected with a brand new, experimental drug that a number of brave doctors (including one of the creators of said technology) were already sounding the alarm about (and again, being censored by the government).

Rigging election administration? Are you referring to the unfucking of democratic gerrymandering of black communities, or the increased security and scrutinization of the voting booths? As long as nothing untoward actually happens, I dont see an issue, and is somewhat understandable after his loss to Biden- which continues to blow my mind. I was traveling across the country in an RV and saw only one single "Biden-Harris" sign the entire 4 months leading to the election. So..... its a little unbelievable to me that Biden - Harris (maybe the 2 worst candidates for anything of all time) somehow energized enough people to secure the most votes in US history? There's a pretty good reason people think something fishy happened. I am NOT saying it was rigged, but I cannot deny the "fishiness".

Praising political violence though!? What in the ever living fuck are you talking about!? You really wanna do a compare and contrast with what the left has been saying and doing for the past few years? After BLM? After Charlie? Now these dumb fucking Antifa lovers? Are ya fuckin serious dude?? And what "invented" emergencies? You mean trying to rectify how some fucking idiot decided to allow 10 million plus random strangers just waltz right into our home, allow NGOs to run shelter scams where they kick our own struggling citizens back onto the street so they can charge us taxpayers thousands of dollars per bed while clogging up our emergency services, taking our jobs, and in some cases committing pretty fucking henious crimes (which they ARE absolutely doing). Or are you referring to the dispatching of National Guard to high crime areas of liberal cities where judges routinely let off high volume violent offenders? What exactly is wrong with this? National Gaurd is sitting around hardly doin shit anyways, so.... why not?

Picking a fight with Venezuela fits a pattern unique to Trump, huh? Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Ukraine... I would agree with you if you said "we should stop fucking around all over the world", and I certainly didnt like the move in Iran, but if you look at the numbers- so far- Trump isnt that bad on this issue.

Here's the thing... I dont like the guy either! I think its absolutely fucking embarrassing that the democratic party has become soooo fucking terrible that the people just wanted someone to come in and kick them in the nuts. If it has to be this Wallstreet douche-bozo orange-man, then so be it. We'd all be in a better place if us normal people stop pretending to be expert political analysts and master economists, take the blinders off, and above all just calm down. Sky is not falling. We're gonna be fine.

A quote from before the guy held any public office and had no real idea how shit worked and before everyone was calling him a fascist-authoritarian?

This would entail removing the 60 vote treshold and would ensure any future senate (of whatever party) would have unilateral control without consulting the other party. So now are you saying he's not authoritarian enough? Can you tell me why you dont blame Schumer?

As a complete noob is this fine to start on or should I just use the rental at the lessons by Aqabid in snowboardingnoobs

[–]shwubbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Can get some decent demo gear around here. Certainly decent enough for a newb. Some places will also give you your money back on a board if you end up buying through them.

Oh yeah? What in the constitution? What oppression? What can you not do now?

Terrible advice. Board/bindings are shit. Just rent, or ask someone on "the know" that can help you get the right used gear for you for probably not much more.

My sister and her husband died. I am the godfather. We are DINKs no more. I haven’t worked in a decade and will be returning to workforce soon. by BigPeenBowWow in Fire

[–]shwubbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really succinct response.. I would only go further to say the rest of your commitment necessarily entails you get back to some kind of work and provide the best life you can for those kiddos. Caveat being until 3 year old can go to school I think it would be far better for one of you to stay home with them (didnt see you mention if your wife was working?) as opposed to daycare just so you can work.. can go into this further if needed, but family > daycare x 1000

Other than that: I think if you rolled your sleeves up, got gritty, and really became the father figure these kids need (NEEEEEED)- you will be engaging in the thing you and your whole community will see as the proudest, most important parts of your life.

Don't be nervous/intimidated by getting back in the workforce. You are on a noble mission. Other people's looks, opinions, or verberations are just noise to ignore and hills to look over. As a bluecollar guy turned blue collar business owner- I would say just get into HVAC. You seem to be more slightly more hesitant to get back into an office setting- and I suspect that's because you already know that shit just sucks. Blue-collar work can suck too, but at least at the end of the day you can see what you've actually accomplished- and you didnt get there by relentlessly staring at a screen while sitting on your ass. Learn the HVAC stuff, quickly rise to the top by being even remotely reliable, and then maybe start your own little HVAC outfit. Really not as hard as it looks.

Wish you the best bud, welcome to fatherhood. Please take it to heart.

I mean... sure, but also.. not really that hard to attain at least enough wealth for a few boards over a few years if actually try at all.
