Reddit died for me the moment RIF went down.

As a welder turned machinist, is it really so hard to act like an adult as an adult? I’ve seen a bunch of different shops around my area, and hands down the old heads are the worst when it comes to drama. They’re so focused on status and seniority that they forget that it’s just a job.

That being said, work how you want to work, not how you see other people working in your role. “Good enough” is fine for learning, but i want to be good at what I do, not good enough. I like my paycheck, and I like feeling like I earn it too.

I’m actually in a position where I got a raise at work and acknowledgement from my peers where I feel like I’ve been doing average work. I could take that to mean that I’m doing good enough and I can coast. That would be totally normal. But I’m looking at it as encouragement to continue to develop my craft. I tried out some shit on a lathe the other day I’ve only ever seen on crazy Instagram videos, but it worked for what I needed to do, and the part came out acceptable in the end. Now I can continue to expand my experience with confidence.

Right now its still probably Killing Time and Space by Nekrogoblikon. Goblins, cosmic history, and a banjo? In my metal? Helllll yeah brother.

You’re missing the forest for the trees.

Mainstream appeal requires certain sacrifices, and message is one of the first things on the block. Representation on that scale requires backroom assurances that do not allow the system to be rebuked in the way you are looking to see. Sure, you can have outspoken individuals like Dave grohl or Tom Morello making their opinions known, but the Foo Fighters will still play in Israel if the paycheck is big enough. Doesn’t matter how much blood is under the stage, money talks.

Get into the punk/folk scene.

Really anything in this genre. You’d be surprised at the observations made by people living on the streets or just generally down on their luck.

Depends on if I could afford to own a scrapyard/pick and pull first. As a welder and machinist, thats basically a playground for me. If I ain’t working, ill still be making. Otherwise, yes. I don’t spend much now as it is, but growing my own weed would probably drop me below 65% by itself.

Did you also see “SLUTS”?

You can’t say Google like that or the Google will just read it and list it on Google.

Next time try using periods between letters to trick the Google. Like this

G.o.o.g.l.e.

The Google can’t see it when you type it like that.

The scientific name for this phenomenon is a heckin chonky honker.

Jokes on you, fish don’t exist.

If I have cash, I’ll give $5 or $10. Sometimes I don’t have cash, and I’ll just say that. Sometimes I have a spare smoke or soda or whatever and I’ll offer one of those instead. I have a union job and few expenses, so I’m in a position to be generous.

You want the grippers? For free?

It’s about the communication of technology, not the technological advancement itself. Language is a relatively recent human adaptation.

Natural diamonds are quite shit for industrial use. Industry likes uniformity, and natural diamonds have irregularities and flaws that do not benefit them in comparison to synthetic diamonds.

Iirc the closest modern day relative is some form of sea slug. How you go from spore to slug has got to be a wild journey

Happened all the time. It just depends on the environment. Check out basically anything on the “Tully monster” if you want to know more.

Tully monsters are actually even older than OPs fossil and we have no idea where they came from or where they went, from an evolutionary perspective.

What about an opposite bridge where you cross under the river? Some sort of tubular subterranean structure. We could call them opposite bridges.
