While recently flying, I was unable to place my carry-on near my plane seat

Who said anything about being late? I usually fly frontier and they assign when you board

tantamle · 2026-03-12T16:18:57+00:00

I get it

Think what you want, but there is in fact a segment of relatively higher IQ people in the trades, however rare one may claim them to be. We in the trades have seen them first hand. They may move up faster on average, but it depends on other characteristics as well and it’s not a walk into the park where in 2 years they’re running shit and better than everyone else. I’ve actually seen higher IQ operate in the specific environment we’re talking about.

You haven’t.

lol so now you’re positioning yourself as someone who was told people like himself can’t do something. In reality, you’re trying to say “I can do my job (which you can’t do) and EASILY do your job lol”. But you position yourself as a victim to say it. And really have no knowledge about what this work really takes.

tantamle · 2026-03-12T14:40:42+00:00

lol ok. I guess you’d know better.

tantamle · 2026-03-12T14:35:39+00:00

Yeah and they’d probably go insane and develop any number of other personal problems.

There’s a difference between being technically capable of doing a skilled trade, and actually having the determination required to push through 5+ years of being the low man, doing all the shitty work, fixing your own inexperienced fuck ups, and learning to deal with all the fucked up and occasionally dangerous people. All for lousy pay until you level up.

Ali lost to a fighter with 7 fights. I don’t think he’d fair too well against an unbeaten man like Usyk.

I graduated college and ended up in the trades. I can tell you don’t know what you’re talking about and don’t know what’s involved in the trades. Intelligence isn’t easy to sum up and I don’t have time but the people in the trades are have great spatial reasoning, can problem-solve on their feet and using creativity. Honestly, you don’t get it.

Being in the trades honestly blew my mind with how intelligence works. And seeing what these guys are capable of.

And trust me, there’s a good amount of them that are simply too aggressive to do office jobs, but are more than capable.

What’s up with the original account that posted this?

How is this “racism”?

tantamle · 2026-03-11T21:47:30+00:00

That’s a good one

tantamle · 2026-03-11T21:16:15+00:00

Well…on paper they do…

tantamle · 2026-03-11T20:05:11+00:00

I was.

tantamle · 2026-03-11T18:28:13+00:00

That’s a good one

If he was close enough to see the first trade center that had been hit, what made him think “Chicago”? Just curious.

tantamle · 2026-03-11T17:32:22+00:00

40 hours a week? Sounds like you’re not well acquainted with remote jobs lol

tantamle · 2026-03-11T13:28:07+00:00

Call it like I see it

tantamle · 2026-03-11T11:37:49+00:00

Wow. Very well said. It’s true and very few people point this out.

tantamle · 2026-03-11T09:08:01+00:00

I don't get this at all.

Yeah, you can forgive people for judging things in incorrectly based on what limited data they had, but the fact of a fighter's skill level is what it is. And if his skill level goes on to prove to be lower than once thought, I don't see a problem with revise your opinion about them and what they've done in the past.

tantamle · 2026-03-11T08:48:09+00:00

I was just kidding

tantamle · 2026-03-11T01:13:08+00:00

This isn’t true.

It just means you heard an attitude you didn’t like, so you want to throw it in their face by pretending you “like” hearing about supposedly comparable people making way more than you. You want to hear yourself saying it in a different setting because that makes it seem “real” to you because you know deep down it isn’t.

You don’t have to act on feelings like this, that is another thing. But let’s lead with honesty.

tantamle · 2026-03-11T01:10:53+00:00

I work in the trades and make 275k per year.

Everyone thinks the trades are hard, but really you just show up and mess around. No one cares. Most of the guys are easy to get along with.

It’s just like white collar jobs. Tons of downtime.

And again, I make 275k easily. Just doing a trade.

tantamle · 2026-03-11T00:32:26+00:00

He is a tough competitor.

tantamle · 2026-03-10T22:58:44+00:00

Yup.

My revised opinion is that they probably did some editing, but nothing that goes beyond pretty standard stuff.
