In my current job, not only are we not expected to come in at all hours of the day to fix shit, we get overtime

government contracts are great

I dunno what that means.

The company I work for is a Department of Defense contractor, so they're required to pay all employees overtime, whether we're in salaried positions or not

Last week I worked 50.4 hours, and I'll be paid for 50.4 hours

I've been unemployed for years now.

Drives me nuts.

So on top of not having social media, or a cell, I also have this huge gap in my resume.

I'm assuming you have a degree then?

No.

Why was that assumed..?

I don't know

It's the only thing I'm thankful for.

I dodged college debt.

I got so much advice to go ahead and pull that lever. Thank fuck I didn't.

@Revan dude i thoght that was real for a second lmao

Have you considered trade school?

No money for tuition.

Ah

I'd want to pay my own way through such a thing. Which is impossible.

It's *astounding* how little boomers understand what's happening.

"You get a job flipping burgers and pay for college that way! That's what I did!"

What do you even do? They actually believe this is still how it works.

How is it possible you're the potential first person to tell them?

How can they not know?

This whole nightmare would be at least easier to navigate if more people KNEW what was going on. Conversations could begin.

But only the people with the least power even know about how little power they have.

Everyone else assumes the gears are turning just fine. "You get a job, you go to college, you get a career!"

"Simple! Nuff said. That's all there is to it. Fact."

"PERIOD."

When few have college education, college education has value. When everyone has college education, they end up snooping through your social media accounts...to see if you're the "right stuff".

If something the boomers thought was true, still was, there wouldn't be a problem.

not having taken economics, I assume this is as simple as supply and demand

That whole idea of walking up to the manager and looking straight in the eye

"I'm the first one in, last one out. I'm your guy!!"

Yeah.

Doesn't work like that. You'll get halfway through asking for the manager before getting an annoyed look: "The application is online.. Just fill that out and blahbblablblhl"

If we could reconnect a tactile sense of humanity to all of this, everything would improve.

The solution could even be demonstrated with positive results, and still, no one would follow it.

"Hey Cobra Kai is really popular."

"Yeah and it's against social justice."

"Think there's a connection?"

"No don't be silly."

"Haha."

"Hoho."

You guys imagine if we made Cobra Kai but it was PRO social justice. o:

It would be GANGBUSTERS!!

These fools, they've missed out on a grand opportunity. And it's ours, all ours.

no idea what that is

Cobra Kai is the youtube red series continuation of Karate Kid

Cobra Kai were the bad guys in the first movie.

no idea what youtube red is

...

You're very behind sir.

probably

or way ahead

Kiryuu Kai

youtube red some sort of a paid service?

haha

Yes.

It's basically a diet netflix.

ya, that's why I don't know what it is.

when I see things asking me for money my brain just tunes it out

I didn't pay youtube red to watch it, I just went over to a pirate site.

online anyway

I can confirm, Cobra Kai is pretty good.

i can't swim

I've never understood how people can't swim.

but i think being a pirate woulda been fun.

It's so easy to pick up naturally.

You flail around a bit, you learn in like 7 seconds the best way to stay afloat

And from there the best way to propel yourself.

You'd have to be an *idiot* to keep trying the same thing that isn't working.

that's one word

Lots of chinese cant swim

Just don't try to swim in pants.

Movies make this look easy.

It's nothing short of impossible after 5 seconds.

there's my mistake, last time i tried I was in my sleeping bag.

The amount of energy this PLUCKS off your body in an instant.

Pulling fabric through water with your legs.

Guys what is your opinion of kansas democratic primaries ?

Le mysterious computer glitch and oit of sudden progressive candidate was losing

🤔

morning nerds

@Senny What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

delusional nerd...it's a disorder.

damn

I woke up in the past

💯 💯 💯 confirmed kills

TOP OF MY CLASS

tbh I wish I woke up in 2012

the movie?

either works

or are you saying you slept through the entire year, like in a coma or something?

well if you did sleep through 2012, you really didn't miss much. whether just the movie or the year.

fucking word

i am writing an engineering document for engineers, not a fucking term paper, stop reminding me of "passive voice". How about you considered revising your action, instead of suggesting i do it.

fucking machines.

Confirmed fake news that person does not have a blue checkmark

they are a freaking lawyer? i hope thats not true

>California, USA

ah, now it makes sense

seems this kind of people really believe their point of view is the only correct/real one and everything else is corrupt/propaganda to hurt the bright future of the US ™

i love that they have findings that the russians were targeting dems as much if not more as republicans.

Russian collusion....ummm i think social media is colluding to rig elections

it makes sense..if you want to destroy the social fabric of a country you ruse both sides

This ^

There was a game like this

oh it makes perfect sense

what game

which is why the left doesn't see it

R.U.S.E. Is the name of the game

lol

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.S.E.

ayy, good game

I never played it ... i might need to change that

its like a cross of risk and a normal RTS

Tim is a Russian Bot. Alyssa Milano thinks the Greens are Russian Bots

Everything I don't like is Russian bots

Also, what a fall from grace for Alyssa Milano. She was a childhood crush and now she is a legitimate insane person

ri.p

dan is a russian, confirmed

YOU FOUND ME OUT

<:commie:463087263153258506> <:commie:463087263153258506> <:commie:463087263153258506> <:commie:463087263153258506> <:commie:463087263153258506>

damn, CNN was right!

Tim is working with Doxxing Nazi Russian bots

Alyssa Milano was my first celeb crush too.

Who's the boss tho.

That show does not age well...

@Dennafen she was mine also

Well, it's either Russian Bot or Hate speech. Sometimes both.

Then came Natalie Portman.

Oh yeah i memba her

good thing I never had celeb crushes

tbh i never saw the appeal in Portman

Jennifer Connelly, Labyrinth

@Dr.Wol not into loli ? The professional

Less Natalie Portman more Mthilda in the professional.

You all have the same taste in women I do. ie: beautiful women

Emma Watson was kinda nice, and she's 1 year older than me so it was okay 😛

No rosie o donnel supporters here

lol

@Dr.Wol Emma Watson got annoying

Natalie portman is 2 years older than me.

Ughhh yeah

Oh absolutely

Watsons magic stopped when Potter ended 😉

Glad to see I'm not the old one here

I never found her that attractive really.

Watson that is.

she lost her appeal

she looks like a young effeminiate boy now

I guess? I don't think she ever had it, but then I never really liked Hermine either.

shes got that perma youth face

"once upon a time, people thought she was pretty....then she opened her mouth and declared herself a feminist, and her true ugliness was revealed"

haha

nah i started losing my interest in "teen" looking wamen 😛

The one that really confuses me is Emilia Clarke

Queen of Eyebrows?

She's not bad looking, don't get me wrong, but she's kind meh.

Yeah.

:^)

ima punch you into last week if you keep that attutude boi

bwahaha

btw whatever happened to Shivangi ?

Shivved someone and is in jail now

Emilia Clarke is most definitely meh

She got bang la deshed

Natalie Dormer is sexy as fuck though.

Shivangi: ri.p

Natalie Dormer has sex appeal

À la max

Dormer just has a fancy smirk

The eyes

No, she's my kind of broken, I can sense them.

then theres that Lawrence toolbag

what do people see in her?

Lawrence?

Jennifer Lawrence

Ah.

Yeah she's pretty meh too.

i cant get HER appeal

I don't get Lawrence either

I'm with you, I never really understood that one either.

she looks about as smart as she pretends,

Its just unappealing

I think women like her?

I think less women like her now lol

nah i think its her "oops, i'm such a ditsy, but i know i am so silly me, hee hee" act

Maybe, she just doesn't seem that interesting of a person to me.

aye

same with Scarlett Johanson

But she has a nice rack

She says a lot of stupid shit too

Lawrence^

Mrs Johanson is very fine

From a purely astatic perspective I think Alexandra Daddario might be the hottest woman alive right now.

She's an not a bad actress either.

She's very sexy. My personal favourite is Alison Brie

both seem weird to me

Daddario seems weird to you?

What do you mean?

her eyes seems evil 🤔

maybe its just the google images 😛

Oh man, I would gladly die staring into those eyes.

I prefer Kate Beckinsale

in her younger days

she's starting to get affected by the ravages of age

too skinny for me.

Kate Beckinsale vampire hunter. Foxy

Kate beckinsale fuckingg hottie , with that brit accent

and ofc Lauren Southern 😏 👉 👉

Lauren southern i cant like her a lot those fake eye brows ....

Yeah, Southern is definitely foxy

Creeps me out like treadeu

haha

Not attratived to Southen, Shoe on Head tho.

Like I said, I like my women broken.

Southern seems far too... vanilla to me.

Shoe seems like the kind you have to carry everywhere

I get Sh0e but I'm not attracted to her. She's also very thin

she has only 1 eyebrow 🤔

@Rabbi Shekels you take that back

or so the legend goes

lol

Rihanna too.

Lol

Pass

The left accuses the right of being Russian agents yet the left has actual commies 🤔

🤔

Oh! Katheryn Winnick

I had to look her up.

You'd think the left would love Russia🤔

She's from Vikings.

🤔

Putins russia is not communist though

and i can approve of Winnick

Not really, they're all capitalists now.

They want a daddy not a boss.
