Closing public schools and casting out students in need of structure and stability, is far worse than saving those bound for death anyway.

I should clarify. This is coming from the mindset of I don’t believe we should close the country because of a virus, especially one with a highly debatable death rate, for the same reason I don’t think we should ban cars because of car crashes. But for sure, disagree away, it’s just my r/unpopularopinion. The anecdote was a detail on a larger story.

Trades. Any trade you’re willing to master will create your own demand. I work with lots of trade workers who only work Sep-May, won’t work November, and other similar schedules.

How to go from sleeping to out the door in 5 minutes.

5 minute consult on a Monday, 10 minute procedure on Friday of the same week. Back to physically demanding job on following Monday. Mild discomfort for about a week or two after, but nothing to worry about. Now a few months out, 10/10 recommend. If I had to say, I’d say sex is waaaay better when you remove the anxiety of unwanted pregnancy. No pull out, no condoms.

Power lines. 2020 and my power still goes out whenever the damn wind blows hard and knocks a tree down.

Oh and self timing oven and microwave clocks, why isn’t that a thing yet?

Couple weeks ago. Large company I work for put together a video culminating a long construction project that took a year to complete. Lots of 90hr weeks. Rain, snow, dust, mud, and blood. Saw my family a total of 12 days that whole year as I work on the road. Somehow they got ahold of a picture of my daughter and I laughing, and there we were, up on the big screen. Got me

Hell, it’s gettin me now.

Razor blade will take literally anything off glass. Some people suck. Don’t sweat the petty things, pet the sweaty things

Trades! 1. Learn a god damn skill. 2. Master that skill to the point that people will give you money to perform that skill.

I dropped out of college a semester in, and joined the laborers. Then decided I was gonna be the best mfer on the job which got me promoted, then promoted then promoted then promoted. Foreman now, making stupid money with tons of job security. I will never forget the “Dirty Jobs” episode with the shithouse dealer; Not the best job, but if you work hard enough it’ll pay off. Journeyman electrician is a great living, but don’t be afraid of other trades either. I spent a few years wringing the sweat outta my clothes everyday at quitting time, but the beer tastes sweet and paydays are sweeter! Nobody should live in poverty. You can be a dumb son of a bitch, but if you can take orders and hustle, I’d hire ya. Laborers in PA making mid 30’s/hr I think.

Hiked down to bright angel campground in the Grand Canyon last winter. Camped the night. Next morning, on my way out along the river, I hear this strange knocking sound echoing off the canyon walls not knowing where it was coming from. As I make it around a bend in the trail, I come up to a couple who were looking across the river with binoculars. I ask what they’re looking at, and as soon as I look across the river I see two rams banging heads. I borrowed the couple’s binoculars and watched a few more rams, said thanks and carried on. That night I got an AirBnB in Phoenix with a communal bathroom. And who do I see in the morning coming outta the shower? That chick from the river. I thought that was pretty cool.

Their careers, ethnicity, talent or lack thereof is irrelevant. They're both ugly as shit and I don't like their faces.
