They are not against big government. They are quite pro big government, but only in a militaristic way. If it benefits a single person they are against it.

My degree is useless in the sense that I realized it was wrong for me as a career path very close to graduation. It would also have paid badly. I got extremely lucky landing a random ass job in a very physically demanding role. It fucked up my body. I got lucky transitioning out of that role into an entirely different but decent field closer to family. (A couple “placeholder” jobs in there for about 2 years just to maintain insurance for my wife.)

I don’t know that a different degree would have mattered for me. Hindsight being what it is; I do think pursuing electrical engineering and the trade would have made the most sense for me. but I didnt even know i had any aptitude for that, just never exposed to it. Pushing 40 (weird to say.) So the days of weathering an apprenticeship are behind me from a temperment perspective.

The first job covered housing so I basically paid off student loans immediately, funded my IRAs for a few years, one year with a loan (dont ever do this, btw.) This let me also live off of my “base 40” and save 65 hours of overtime per week for 7.5 years.

I say all of this to get to my point; We bought a house last year and the amount of effort, toil, literally body breaking work that I did to get here is not the American Dream I bought into as a young man.

All of this considered, luck should not be the key factor of success in a functioning, equitable society.

Bus stop metaphor. Even if we cant take a train directly where we need to get to, at least we can take a bus in the correct direction.

Best mental description ever. Even self described republicans can surely grasp this idea to be rid of what we have now. I’m heading over to the Library this afternoon to vote early :) ive never voted a straight ticket before. Sort of excited.

Idk i was 17 and the coach was old. I’m glad it didnt go much further because it would have not ended at all well.

In highschool an opponent coach called one of my team mates the n word. I told the coach I was going to kill him. Referee decided the fouls canceled one another. Wish I had drop kicked that fucking cunt instead.

I miss my Jstore membership

Same, although it was 4 bars. I was at all of them often enough to be a regular regardless.

RITM pays a hefty divvy that beats that %

Kinda, callaway approved the ad, os maybe they all just suck

Just like any camera could be a license plate camera, however most cameras are not linked to a vast network specifically designed to trace identifiers and support soft suppression of individual freedoms. The next tea party is going to look weird.

Why not twice a week? Hell, three times even. Be a real shame if they had to replace it every day.

I found a djinn lamp in one.
