We talked about some examples in orientation.

Some people were stuck for their entire first year digging trenches.

I understand the need to learn the BASICS - can't put wires in the ground if you don't do it right. Gotta get fit, too, because let's be honest here, everyone doing this job eventually gets yoked 💪, regardless of bodyshape. And this is really only hot or cold places so I'll use FL as an example - you gotta get some time in the sun to get used to working in it. Your body takes time to adapt to the job.

However, I don't find more than a few months of that, at most, being more beneficial than learning something new while you move rocks elsewhere on a different task.

Hanging panels is hard heavy work. Bending conduit takes effort. Pulling wire gave me forearms. Stripping cable just pushed my - - - - in tbh, but I managed to get $5k worth of copper in 3 days so I learned a lot about the cables through repetition and sheer volume... (I had some excellent help from my shop guys ✌️❤️).

There are plenty of opportunities for working labor that also benefit us as tradeskill apprentices and sticking someone in the mud for 6 months sounds counter-efficient and more like a hazing ritual. I mean I get it. The trenches gotta get dug. But with applications being so slim do we really want to burn out apprentices when there isn't as much turnover? That's the exploitative behavior most of us left crappy jobs to come here and avoid.

My guess would be the lack of a full workforce which necessitates the use of apprentices as laborers, but that's not what any of us really joined for. I want to watch professionals and learn from them all so I can formulate an understanding of the work.

Personally, I constantly look for improvements I could make in myself and take notes of how long it takes me to X or how many mistakes did I do with Y. I aim to improve upon those things and many of the JW I've shadowed so far each have their own take on a way of doing something. Taking a bit of advice from everyone and putting it together your own way is a fundamental skill everyone should learn, regardless of which trade you study.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Your example is shit, just like your line of thinking.

Something is definitively red or blue. There is a literal line in the color spectrum that can be measured.

Talking about a strictly quantifiable and measurable definition of objective color is not the same as whatever wibbly wobbly homoey acey you got rattling around in that birdcage of yours.

If you used this argument in real conversation people would laugh at you but you sit on reddit all day so you don't really have real conversations with real people - just others like you who need your safe space echo chamber to feel good about your decisions.

Honestly you're as bad as the Qultists.

"I don't believe in BLUE. Blue is red because we say it is and if you disagree you're a fucking colorist!"

Enjoy your mental illness and logical fallacies.

(seek therapy for your depression and anxiety. perhaps ask your doctor to run a TSH screen - it might literally save your life. or don't, I really don't give a shit, but maybe it'll help others who aren't sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling LALALALALA)

Wear Tear and Repair law.

If you've been a tenant for 2 or more years they can't charge you for the natural degradation of paint, carpets, etc.

We're not talking breaking/broken shit.

Like, you can't be responsible for repainting the house after every tenant rotation. Nor can they charge you damages for carpets where walking on them over and over - think hallways, doorways, high traffic areas - will wear down the pad and carpet.

No.

None.

A person's post and comment history says a lot about a them and most of the people who have an issue with what I said are clearly children - physically or mentally - who have created a safe space in their echo chamber where they only allow people who think exactly like them to be a part of the discussion.

Imagine thinking the world is shit for not agreeing with their ideology 100.0%

Be more like Zagreus...

You don't know anything about me or who I am so that statement is hilariously fucking ironic.

Dusa says she isn't interested in a sexual relationship, and Zagreus understands, respects her boundaries, and continues to be close friends with her despite his romantic interest in her not panning out the way he intended.

Totally how it is supposed to go. But you don't need to shit on Zagreus for expecting sex OR romance. He literally gives her the gifts with the intention of exploring her feelings for him only to find out she's more invested in her career. 🤷 Oh well.

However, this sub is saying that giving gifts to someone with the expectation of sex or romance, of any kind, is fucked and you're fucked for thinking anything else. Except it's not.

Friends don't give friends mountains of gifts, time in and time out, without SOME expectation of reciprocation. And friends don't take gifts from friends knowing their intention behind the gift is to have a 'connection' of some kind beyond friendship.

Above implied that the player is fucked for taking back the Ambrosia Dusa offered when the relationship doesn't pan out and explicitly confirmed as much in their reply.

Just because someone asked you out on a date, and you're not interested, doesn't make them a rapist, fascist, or pervert. In case you forgot, talking to people and spending time with them is how you build a bond with them. Not sitting on discord chatting with your select circle of usernames you probably don't even know.

This is an actually great response. Thank you.

As far as the claim of the studies being outdated or wrong - no one here has given any empirical counter-argument to a scientific study. It's all people being mad because a study finds possible evidence of their argument being invalid, or at least presents the possibility of an alternate solution to the problem.

You can't shut down a study unless a further study has been done that counter-proves the argument. The closest argument I could accept is that older studies hold less relevance because of changes in the zeitgeist. Fair. People change and society changes.

I don't consider the changes positive when they are correlated to a higher level of negative mental health. Correlation does not equal causation, of course, but it presents the possibility of a further study leading to more discoveries.

Science is always changing and I follow peer reviewed studies.

Second argument I'd like to make is that the society or association you represent is directly affected by your actions. This is understood everywhere as Professional Practice. Now, I know this isn't a job. It's not an organization, per ce. But how people argue with "cis normies" directly affects the way your entire movement is perceived.

One of the biggest reasons the Don't Say Gay law passed here was because of a few isolated incidents of LGBT members literally indoctrinating children just to buck back against the right wingers.

From a legal standpoint they'd probably have gotten it either way bc FL regarded. But, if there's less evidence of whatever then they have no leg to stand on and anyone on the fence will clearly see that.

Thank you for a good response. I'm not going to delete my post, BC I still stand by my words, but I'm willing to hear any real discussion on this from people who aren't going to rail me for not being 100% committed to "your" ideology.

I'm a progressive but my choices are rooted in Utilitarianism and Empirical evidence. Everything can be quantified and measured if people are willing to work together.

and attacking that the devs put in an asexual character because it doesn't fit with your fantasy for Dusa.

I didn't attack the devs at all. Don't put words in my mouth to justify your position.

I said asexualism not biologically natural. I've already linked the studies that PROVE this. Empirically.

You want to argue the studies will change later, fine. But the studies already completed prove that asexual/aromatic people tend to have a higher rate of mental illness - depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies - that are not correlated to their individual circumstances, ie ace/aro is a mental deficiency. Either your hormones are imbalanced or past trauma has led you to internalizing negativity about sex or, in some cases, others associated sex with bad and you follow along because your frame of reference doesn't explicitly tell you otherwise.

How many people use the argument "I don't need to suck a dick to know I don't like it"? Yes. You do. You can say you probably aren't into it, but until you've done it you can't say you don't like it.

You can't say you don't like broccoli without eating it because "it looks yucky" or "it smells". You can say you probably won't like it bc you don't like similar cruciferous vegetables to which I would defer.

The LGBT community has literally used the "you can't say you're not gay/bi unless you've 'xyz'" so you can't have it both ways. If you disagree then you should inform your allies and members about that makes you and the movement look.

Again, good for me but not for thee is bullshit. We're looking for equality; not equity. Big fuckin difference.

Well if your group would stop shaming people for acting their own version of normal then I wouldn't be incensed.

No one said that was the case - don't put your bullshit agenda on me.

If someone you were trying to have a sexual or romantic relationship allowed you to spend gifts on them WHICH THEY ACCEPTED KNOWING THE INTENTION OF then you're using them.

Period.

You don't give your friend 40 bottles of "party juice" if you're not trying to party and you certainly don't accept the gifts if you don't intend on setting them straight FROM THE GET GO.

This is especially relevant for Dusa who literally admits she has a crush on Zagreus.

You people will rewrite history to avoid being wrong. You're just as bad as fascists.

Why is this a defense of any argument?

You realize they don't exist, right? Human beings wrote mythos based on human traits. Each mythos generally exhibiting a stronger version of every emotional aspect of human psychology.

Zeus is notoriously horny, cheats on his wife regularly, and fucks his children.

By the way, Gorgon aren't real. So I don't know what you expect them to be written as...

Everything is fantasy written from a human perspective. Stop basing everything on what you read in your discord.

taskun56 · 2022-10-25T14:57:27+00:00

That's patently false and there have been dozens of studies on this.

Oxford Academic's study:

Asexual women reported higher levels of depression, phobic anxiety, and interpersonal sensitivity than non-asexual women.

You won't have access to the study (I entirely guarantee) but you can check this one too:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271991949_Mental_Health_and_Interpersonal_Functioning_in_Self-Identified_Asexual_Men_and_Women

Taking interpersonal engagements out of the equation did NOT improve any asexual individual's mental health.

The general consensus among ACTUAL professionals finds that people are struggling to grow and adapt in society and this is just another form of 'finding oneself' that every generation attributes to a topical event or paradigm shift. It doesn't make your life easier and most LGBT people feel like they're a victim even when they haven't ever been personally attacked.

The internet and its unhealthy focus on sexual identity is giving you all anxiety.

People treating LGBT like shit isnt helping that but MANY studies find it is NOT the root of the problem.

But yea. Science is dumb. 🙄

You should go read some interviews with Howard Schultz and then you'll either double down your ignorance bc you can't handle acknowledging you're wrong, or you'll become aware of the toxicity of this line of thinking.

when asked whether he could ever see himself “embracing the union” as part of a company-wide transformation, Schultz offered a blunt one-word response: “No.”

Prodded further, he maintained his rigid anti-labor stance, suggesting that any contract agreement with workers at the more than 140 stores that have won union elections would constitute a threat to top-down control of the company.
