The fact is that normal people with unskilled jobs should be able to afford food, rent, transportation, and the general basic necessities of life or society will be messed up.

Yes, a cashier at Walmart, a delivery driver at Amazon, or a waiter at KFC, should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That is exactly what jobs are for.

@PubWanghaf @RobotPerson78 White Trash™ isn’t even real; niggеrs, however
English

Do you see how it’s perfectly fine to refer to something as “white trash” without fear of losing your job, being debanked, losing relationships?
But if someone says “nigger” all of those consequences are on the table

White trash as fuck These people are so fucking embarrassing

@wanted4mogging @maironpontifex Infrasound/sonics is some horrific, enraging, demonic shit and I stg once you've been "exposed" it makes subsequent exposure worse. I also may have used it to drive my shitty upstairs neighbor into beating his wife and going to jail. Shouldnt walk on your heels, Jake.

@maironpontifex chronic low level frequencies which they produce have long term damaging effects, not healthy to live around

@CarlSims6969 Ive fixed untold numbers of pinhole leaks in old bike gas tanks, usually only from the outside. Made whole ass sections of sheet metal patches for rust repair on old cars, especially around windshield moldings and such, sand it and paint it in like 10 minutes. Love it.

@brianonhere Yep. last time I tried, it still didnt work even during those hours, the warning was gone but you'd eventually get an error message and all progress lost at some point during the hour long process. I gave up after 5 attempts on 3 different browsers.

@brianonhere The ui to apply for food stamps in GA was so bad I didnt bother. And they only let you apply on certain days at certain times.
Just tried to login to check if that was still true. Look at this fucking shit. Guess what button gets pressed when you hit enter after pasting.

@kriegvar1097 Not able out of like ignorance or do you not possess the faculties to drive or something? If youre over 16 and just choosing not to drive thats just faggot behavior and infantalism.

@SophieMargiela @megkindamaybe Its called alcoholism and having a little fun you dork
English

@megkindamaybe Why can’t you just wait until you get home to drink your booze? Or drink a cocktail at a restaurant? Why do you need to be drinking your booze in public?

@sparquah Fun fact: you can put a 590 barrel and mag tube in a 500 reciever and vice versa. Also fun fact an 8+1 500 barrel and mag weighs less than a fucking shockwave 590 barrel and mag somehow.

@ellobosalvaje akin to how the patrol mounted ALPRs give em a little auditory and visual thing. Idk what the DOT standard is, might have to start by having the laws passed in the first place then provide the ticket revenue generating machine, but its doable. I hate it, hate cops, but fuck leds.
English

@ellobosalvaje Theres ONE way to get this shit under control. Let cops make money off it.
You gotta be able to quantify the brightness, provide calibration and certification, and sell it to departments. "it" being some patrol unit mounted light measuring device with a passive good/bad alert

@summmason @ellobosalvaje Make it. Ill buy it. Im dead fucking serious.

@fanoftrade @obiwormkenobi Every performer ive ever seen in the workplace across idk how many industries always showed up late and hit the door with urgency and purpose. A good mgr knows to leave them alone and worry about the on-timers that take half the day and 3 coffee breaks to start being productive.
English

@obiwormkenobi Employ people and you realize immediately that your worst employees are always late. The ones who care enough and prepare enough to always be on time are going to excel in other ways too. It’s not that being five minutes late is the end of the world, but it indicates an attitude.
English

@NaloVideo @obiwormkenobi That last one did me in. I refuse to punch a clock again. I refuse to have my employment be at the whim of a 400lb black woman with a bad attitude on the other side of the country that cant get payroll right 2 weeks in a row and always seems to be at lunch when you call.
English

@NaloVideo @obiwormkenobi The last one was a job I really liked too. I even started leaving a fucking half hour early and still ended up late sometimes. Half an hour for 4 miles on open country roads but a policy written in Chicago and enforced blindly got me and many others fired.
