or not
kids are information sponges
they absorb everything you say
That's why it's fun to make up random stories.
see its not about converting ppl or getting more views
its about getting ppl out of our way
centrists dont counter signal us as much as our enemies do
This is happening
this dumb bitch is just gonna get her arms broken again
Canada just wont let Sweden preside as the most cucked nation, we always want to compete with them.
Shes also a "anti semite" OY VEY
SHUT HER DOWN
Not a surprise from an egyptian
sick ben shapiro on her
go get her benny go get em
There really are no breaks on this crazy train
Yup, and the speed seems to be picking up.
Log cabin in Alaska looking better by the day
Ill keep your room clean, while you make your way there.
In all seriousness though, it really is looking better by the day
Alaska is the chad state
Florida man isn't a chad?
I get concerned when i go a few weeks without hearing crazy news about Australia
makes me think there's a new clown world law i don't know about
Haha maybe you should pay me to fuck you... just kidding... unless?
29 year old looking for a shugar daddy? now thats some new lvl of entiltlement.
Donโt forget her kid and busted up vagina
She better get herself some cats
God washed up hoes make me sick
Women have no concept of dignity
They sink to any low they need to get what they want
dog filter

tot
If you look that shocking with a filter and heavy makeup just imagine how ratchet she looks irl
bro females r stock up
i talk to them alot in my job since they lifeguards n shit
their personallities are so bland
like fking starbucks,21 savage, raves
Yeah because theyโre initially whatever bland generic personality floats until they learn more about you and mirror whatever it is you want them to be
Her life will be a bad Pink Floyd coverband loop concert in a couple of years.
Nobody no more will put up with her shit.
Ever.
29 with a kid, I think sheโs already reached the end of people putting up with her nonsense because sheโs he owner of a wet hole
Incredibly good news then.
A little less for the kid.
Damaged for life.
Poor lil thing, never had a chance
Indeed.
Got fucked by Chad and he ran
Or not
It says 7 year relationship
when you sit at the bar how do you guys react when girls come over to you and start talking to you?
my suggestion is: ask her for a drink, either she leaves or you get a free drink
and it isn't really offensive
Either way it's win-win, right?!
yes
I would just politely chat but be non-commital about it. I NEVER offer to buy them a drink and as you might surmise more often than not they would buy ME a drink to keep the conversation going. It's been a few years though since I was merely 'on break' from my marriage and not fully divorced.
yeah it is good praxis
I don't be at the bar
as long as you never give or commit any resources, and are only in a public space with lots of people you are safe
Neither does @Xychotic
Eh...I'm with Nig on this one these days though. I don't bother drinking in public anymore. Even in a bar/public setting you might get #metooed...as they've shown in the past, 'Proof? What proof?!'
ive never drank
what am i missing
you miss headache the next morning
@rart well last time I was at a bar was prior to #metoo
You're not missing on anything. I'm simply in the habit of drinking two or three glasses of wine a week...
I'm drinking a breakfast beer right now
Or maybe three beers at the end of a work day
BREAKFAST BEER?! LOL!!!
why people drink so much
Speaking of which it's time for my breakfast coffee
is dat vodka
@rart I'm bavarian, it is cultural :3
@haku. Most likely for the buzz/drunken sensation. Also some people genuinely like the taste. Domestics (US) taste like someone ran hot water down a 300 pound man's sweaty ass crack and added some urine to the runoff though so YMMV
ah I don't drink three beer for breakfast, one or two, and only on days off
Ya know? Whatchagonnado? I mean I can imagine that only a woman would take issue with such things so if you're living the full red pill you're golden. Do what makes you happy and let no one be your judge.
true
Despite being red pilled while married I'm still in the habit of not always doing precisely what I want to do just to avoid turmoil. Does it make me unhappy? Sometimes...but by and large I feel pretty good about how my finances and overall life are going. Every once in a while I'll hit a snag but not often
oh, that's something I wanted to ask you guys, probably esp. the ones not having a wife/girlfriend. You guys probably have more money than you spend on a normal month, how do you manage your assets?
I gotta be honest it makes me feel at ease to be in chat room FILLED to the brim with other guys to whom I don't have to explain the notion of MGTOW or the red pill philosophy before I can get a point across!
Oh, oh, oh! Meeeeeee! โ
The one saving grace is that my wife makes slightly more money than I do but my company provides killer medical benefits so it all comes out in the wash. Single or married I would do the same thing which is invest in real estate to either flip or rent (rent is probably better in this market) and get that passive income stream rolling
`The one saving grace is that my wife makes slightly more money` oh man, that's a pretty good situation to be in, as far as marriage goes
in terms of the whole divorce rape issue
Yeah, I've also been divorced...a story for another time
yeah I think real estate is probably one of the better ways to generate income
Absolutely. I started too late with it so my real estate empire is going to be more of a real estate fifedom...we'll see.
@rart nigga you're married?
Yeah...I was red pilled WHILE married
oof
Magically it all came together almost 4 years ago...but I've been married since '08
how is this working out with your wife?
When I share the bad stuff going on in the world (she tends to avoid the news and only uses social media for work stuff) she gently reminds me, "I'm NOT a feminist!"
anyone know how i can join the Freemasons?
She's one of those bona fide honest to goodness decent people you hear about from time to time. Good, middle income family without many skeletons in the closet....good upbringing with zero entitlement. I couldn't see it before our break
@The-Free-Monk You have to be introduced by an active mason to their community
that is in theory correct
but you may initiate contact with them
many lodges have open days from time to time where you may visit e.g.
That too....coffee time!
formally you have to be introduced but you can be the one showing strong interest in it, and repeatedly hint that you share their values
that should be obvious enough once you have contact
that is if you actually share their values, otherwise why would you do that
There's a LOT of indirectness involved in that and that's not what I'm about. Frankly I think I'd rather join a biker gang (something ELSE I wouldn't actually do). One of my coworkers is an officer here locally and he's busy AF! I mean like non -stop he's always talking about how he needs to be off on time for this or that lodge related business
Honestly I don't see the benefit...but then I probably haven't spent but a minute or two researching it
Honestly, i think that Spain deserves the title of cuckistan more than India. And this is just the most recent example as to why https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-men-allowed-hotel-opens-in-spain
I don't see that as a problem tbh
Yeah but they'd all REE if there was a men's only hotel
yeah that would be the problem
I think it only bothers me because we're not supposed to give two squirts that they get their own spaces but because of one reason or another they're always permited to invade ours
being a member of something like freemasonry, but not the same, a lot of the appeal is the actual social community you share with people outside family and work, and the chance for contemplation within ritual work
well in germany we have lots of male-only student fraternities
I was thinking that one of the few reasons one would have to join something like that is for the community activities but I'm kinda...anti-social that way. I really haven't tied myself to this community in any way outside of what's needed to be welcomed
and afaik most freemason lodges are men only or women only, not mixed
Yeah this one is a men's only of course I did know that. Still...too many expectations. I'm too busy in real life for that
there is also "menhouses"
for men escaping their abusive wifes
that also gets money by the state
No shit?! I'mma ask Bubba about that to see if they have one here
well I'm talking germany
I think europe is a bit different on some of those things
like in sweden they introduced military conscription for women as well, not just men to make it more fair
There are FOUR big houses (EVE shelters) for women but I have seen nothing around here for the menfolk
I read 20% of victims of domestic violence are men, so they probably should have one for the men too
Hey, they wanted equality...they need to obey the rules just like the rest of us
are those funded by the state?
Actually that figure is likely just the ones that get reported...technically I'M an abuse victim too...from my first marriage. There was something DEEPLY wrong with that chick but boy she could rock the sheets
that's such a clichรฉ
sexual intensity of violent people
But it's TRUE! In my experience the crazy ones are less inhibited in bed
yeah I believe you
just because somethign is a cliche doesn't mean it isn't true
But now I'm all about Don't stick your D in crazy....just nope out when you see red flags...which is pretty much all the time
oh and the houses for men, they state explictily it is both for victims of physical and psychological violence by their wifes/girlfriends
I'd assume the psychological violence is even way more common than physical by women
Oh definitely but if you've got a woman that's perfectly fine throwing cookware at you or taking a baseball bat to you in your sleep then psychological abuse isn't much of a stretch
that's even threat of physical abuse
Oh, she never just threatened...if she was yelling and suddenly left the room, RUN!
I think that is also a problem in upbringing, while boys are being taught to not be violent, people don't really teach girls that to the same extend
You're spot on! I have a 23 year old daughter and 20 year old son from that practice marriage and they're unhinged largely due to their awesome-sauce totally sane mother
My 4 year old daughter from my second marriage is more well behaved
children imitate their parents actions more than their words, that is true too, if at least one of the parents shows shit behaviour in their actions children may well be impacted in their own behaviour
and then learn it the hard way trough the justice system (or not)
@rart If I may ask, how do you make a living beside your assets?
I'm a telecom specialist for A certain phone company
like a communication engineer?
Field Operations, telephone cable repair and splicing
or on what level
ah ok
like, you open boxes in the neighborhoods, install DSLAMs, connect that stuff, sometimes open the street to find a disconnected cable and fix it
that kind of stuff?
I'm only used to women asking me that...on the first date. Most of them used to find other points of interest after they realized I barely crack six figures (with overtime)
I work in a rural market that only has DSLAMS in the central office but the rest of it is pretty spot on. I do a LOT work in the rainbow spaghetti
ah ok
LOL...I just bought a replacement part from Kreg tools that cost 10 bucks but it was six bucks for shipping and another buck-sixteen for tax....psh
oof
I used to assemble large scale industrial machinery, lots of communication and power cables, cabling the control cabinets, and the field devices, also debugging PLC software and such, also did the stuff for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and assembled gearboxes and other mechanical parts of the machines, but then I went to university getting a degree in engineering, now I work in control engineering/embedded software for the electric drives of electric cars
your job is probably pretty safe, people aren't suddenly not going to need telecommunication anymore
and there will always be stuff breaking or new connections needed
ACTUALLY we just went through what the company calls a surplus where they indicated that we were over headcount for the area. The amount of work we have is cyclic so some of the year we're overencumbered and some of the year we're scrambling to find things to do with a tiny bit of time between the two where it's just right. Since 2014 we went from 12 guys on the team to just six before the surplus, we're currently down to five thanks to the forced headcount reduction.
that sucks
esp. as then suddenly they'll hire unexperienced people when there is more work to do
So five guys (yup all dudes in this market but I've heard there's a female tech that uh...never actually comes in to work as she's constantly off for FMLA stuff) for this whole county and three guys for the next county up
so do they give you aid from teams from other areas around your county in general?
if there is less to do there etc.
No, they haven't hired anyone in this company specifically for this job since...heck when was that. 2001, maybe? They've been gritting their teeth trying to get rid of this job title for ages
yeah so they are sort of wearing down everything
And yes, sometimes 'loaners' come in from other markets when they run out of work
they see it as an established market with not much growth to come, so they'll just try to take out as much money as they can for each year
I mean in the end a telco is a property business (owning the tubes with your telco cables), and you guys are the janitors ๐ (no offense)
They could drop a TINY bit of money and upgrade our fiber fed Xboxes to full VRADs...push that internet signal farther out
:/
Oh, no you're absolutely correct...janitors, though. I like it. One of my coworkers called us certified turd polishers
that reminds me
you heard that US politician calling the interent "a series of tubes"
he was ridiculed for that, but I think it is kind of true, the largest cost is actually laying the tubes that the cables go into
I really just avoid a lot of the governmenty things...those guys are on a separate level and way out of touch
then the next big cost factor is the actual cables, and then far behind in cost comes the electronic devices like DSLAMs and routers etc.
ah yes
`A series of tubes" is a phrase coined originally as an analogy by then-United States Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) `
We have a LOT of trouble between closures and the company is extremely resistant to cable replacement because of the iternal rate of return in areas that don't have internet service
They've essentially told us that they're done replacing our cables and if we need to bypass anything we need to consider aerial service wires and as a last resort buried service wire
Yeah...DROPS in lieu of actual cable. The most advanced network in the nation is held together by drop wire and hopes and dreams
ok, that fits what I said earlier then, they see it as cash cow, they just want to take out as much money as they can and let it detoriate
you guys also lay fiber?
I mean you have to really, right?
We have fiber here but it's not for residential use. it's mostly business fiber and what runs the internet service
you'll probably have to lay some more for the 5G base stations
That part was done earlier this year, tbh. We've got fiber to the towers and we're adding more towers to the area but they haven't turned up 5G yet
your company also pretends to be a "tech" company like so many telcos do?
Naturally!
lol
They claim to be whatever they want as it suits them and we're just caught in the middle. There's a LOT of people 'above' (I actually make more than most first level mgrs) my pay grade working hard to justify their jobs...the tech expectations is a 16 page document stuffed to the brim with farts and whimsy that frequently contradicts itself.
would seem fairly simply, look what the big manufacturers like Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia etc. have to offer, do a market analysis of how many people you can cover and what demography lives there for an indicator of their interest in increased service performance, then depending on that you buy the stuff or not, and have the janitors do the cabling, plus some IT or telco engineer set up device configuration according to the manufacturers manuals, though I'm a lay person so what do I know ๐คท
Oh hell NAW! You're trying to use logic and reason. We're talking about a corporation here, my man!
I guess you guys have some expensive equipment in the field
like for reading the eye diagram of the digital transmissions
those are usually costly
Not really in this market...the vast majority of our Xboxes are just big copper splice points...that's about it.
I mean we do have a good number of pair gain systems but they ONLY push phone through them
ah ok, I used to work with that stuff, when I was still in a communication engineering company, I developed on FPGAs, like implementing Modulators and error correction for RF transmission
DSL uses DMT, which is basically several QAMs in a OFDM, and then they have a feedback between Modem and DSLAM to adjust bandwidth on different channels for a given wire to minimize overspeak
I'm not at that level of implementation...I'm largely only involved in transmission. Anyway, did you know that ADSL will work on half a phone line?
but I never worked in DSL myself
IPDSL however shits the bed if you merely look at it wrong
I haven't heard of IPDSL
is that some sort of brand name in the US?
ah seems to be AT&T specific naming
IP-based DSL? To my understanding this is the standard name for the next generation of DSL
ah ok
can you explain it?
ah I found it, IPDSL is ADSL 2 +, double play only
which is the ITU-T G.992.5 standard
Somewhat...A (asynchronus) DSL doesn't use matching bitstreams for data transmission where IPDSL does. To make matters worse IPDSL can be installed using a bonded pair profile so now you not only have one pair of cables in sychrony but FOUR...bonded pair, in this market, is the bane of my existence because I've yet to find two pair of phone lines that are similar in quality
So we do what we can
ah ok
what speeds do you guys assure the customer of with IPDSL?
So check this out...in our single pair markets 18 Mbps is the absolute fastest we can provide and only if you live within 5k ft of the central office
I had an opportunity to work in a more developed market (i.e. big city) a couple of years back and our full fiber installs were getting 1000 Mbps
yeah the theoretical max for IPDSL is 24 Mbit/s so 18 Mbit/s seems to be close to what is practically achievable with that technology
Alright, bud...good chat. I've gotta get to the 'office' now. I'm neurotic about being on time so I leave 50 minutes early to drive six miles
ah good bye
Hold up a tick...
nice chat yes
I've personally installed 35 Mbps as a single pair service...out of a VRAD of course but still...kinda slow considering my personal connection through the cable company is 425 Mbps
The bonded pair installs have the benefit of a higher top end but I'm fairly confident the top end on that is much better than 100 mbps...that's a copper, two phone line install
Ok, now I'm out!

OMG THAT IS SCARY
@Happy Humble Hermit ๐
Why am I not surprised that this is happening in China?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1WI8BUe9Eg @conker y'all laugh at the dystopia that is less than a decade away. get ready
Oh and... Seems HK called out a revolution
@Happy Humble Hermit also I'm not laughing, I just demand sources, bc the claims are sometimes outlandish ...
but I totally expect such stuff from an officially authoritarian government like china
and the HK people have now a ban on wearing face coverings
so they have some quite interesting solutions

https://twitter.com/happysharingday/status/1180154863637819393?s=21
`and the HK people have now a ban on wearing face coverings`
we have that in germany for deacdes
decades
germany is done ...
Oh boy here I go smashing again
@MoonCore Are you having sex or playing Smash Bros?
I started watching sword art, in two days, im on half of season 2
