I’m a construction estimator, job postings will ask for a degree in construction management, engineering or 5-10 years experience in the trades. Easiest way to get this job is with field experience compared to an education. You do gotta prove to be somewhat intelligent, if you can show problem solving skills and adept blueprint reading someone will hire you.

Being an old can be pretty cool. My 30’s are definitely going better than my 20’s.

Considering CEOs were taking advice from hustle 'n grind culture idiots like Gary Vee, it’s no surprise that AI would be an improvement.

He’s fired

My coworkers are talking shit in a slack channel about dudes with long hair without realizing that I, a dude with long hair, am in that slack channel. I fairly certain I could beat up this entire group of losers by myself, but sure keep making man bun and Fabio jokes.

I play disc golf and my city has a weekly random doubles league which is more focused on making friends than competition. I joined a community organization to push our local officials to fix stuff. I also try to take art classes when possible. I’ve done all that stuff for a year now and still only really have acquaintances or distant friends, it will take time to figure out which ones I truly feel comfortable with and can confide in. For reference most people I see at these things are 30+, those folks are slower to warm up to each other since they usually have adult commitments. I did a lot of these same activities in my 20s too and you’re right it was easier to become close with people in a shorter timeframe than it is now.

Crazy to think this could be the 8th and final year of the Sanders admin. Would democrats be entirely different people if they didn’t have to be so invested in the Trump/Biden dichotomy?

I’ve been getting good enough at my job to have nearly everything squared away by Friday morning, I love vibing on this final afternoon before the weekend.

The only streaming service I’m paying for is NBA league pass and it’s actually a good time if you don’t live near your team. For 15 bucks I got like 2 hours of awesome basketball to watch every other night and I could watch basketball every night if I cared about watching other teams.

Every decade folks have moved into or out of my life. I think going through our twenties everyone is friendly; you socialize with lots of peers and still try to make good impressions with older people to maintain good social standing. Once you hit thirties you begin filtering out folks who don’t align with your morals and values. You know who you can and can’t trust and have less time to be patient with others ignorance. I’m not in my forties yet but understand I’ll probably have boomer outbursts one day and the kids will make fun of me.

I just had the thought that this is the only ‘social media’ site without advertising. Like how can every other platform carry the ‘social media’ moniker yet be entirely supported by commercial enterprise?

I think this move might help democrats in the long run; In that this will preserve the teeter totter pattern of majorities. The GOP would love nothing more than to win all three branches of federal government and enough governors to stop another election from ever happening and barring Democrats from office. By making SCOTUS outline the criteria needed to run for and hold office it allows Dems an opportunity to take back control in '26 & '28.

I think the only jobs you can truly be passionate about are the rudimentary occupations like tailoring, farming or construction. Like the minimum requirement of labor to cloth, feed and shelter yourself is fulfilling and why so many people dream of some cottage lifestyle in a small village. We still have to face the current situation that is doing those tasks within the framework of capitalism, but one can hope that will one day change.

Is the new RE4 different? That game takes me back to freshmen year of college.

I’ve got a feeling that Trump will skirt any form of justice and die peacefully one day. It seems like more people are coming around to the idea that Trump will remain a free man and maybe president because the government really doesn’t want to stop him. Let SCOTUS write some more crazy bullshit further delegitimizing their standing. The more jarring the spectacle of the US government becomes the more likely people could lose faith in it’s institutions.

Generations need to be shortened to 10 year spans or leven less. 86-96 is what I consider a millennial. The people born between 80-85 try to claim they are a special generation called xennial and I agree with them. Being born in 85, you would be an educated adult during the great recession while the rest of the millennials gets scapegoated as ignorant children.

Dying of a blood clot would send all the antivax people into a spiral, so I’m hoping that was the outcome.

Fuck you Hank, you stupid dead fuck!

I feel ashamed. I just saw a headline from the Hill, ‘GOP favored to win senate, democrats are jobbers’. I read the article, each paragraph outlining a different senator and how they might suck shit in the next year. Why do I care? The four they mentioned are all fuckers anyway. No shit four worthless Senators and Biden might lose. They’ve done nothing but claim they are the horcruxes of democracy and Trump is out to destroy them. Meanwhile most of us are experiencing a national decline.

We’re gonna try something similar in my county, sucks to see these referendums get crushed.
