I'll take elementary school educated mexicans and inbred white trash any day over some intellectual dooshbag white collar guy who wants to talk down to everyone at least some people know their place in life and don't try to be better than anyone else there is a bunch of political society type slogans these days that are going around and unfornately I agree with them people don't like to be talked down to and alot of people are good at doing the talking down to college education doesn't make people smart
40 hrs a week of hard labor will break almost all americans hell by day three they will wake up and not be able to move
Someone bang on the van door and interrupt your morning release, fred? You seem a little tense today.
I'm not talking about the douchebros who talk down to people. I fully agree that it's hard labor, but that doesn't make it better or more noble than another pursuit. They can both be hard in different ways, and respect to both. Just as you don't like to be talked down to by soft hand douches, I've never enjoyed being talked down to by tradespeople who don't know their ass from their elbow. Watching experts in hydronics, welding, framing etc. work is amazing, but they're typically not the ones talking down to people as candyasses, it's the fucknuts that you have to dog because they're lazy assholes. Expertise should respect expertise - whether it's thought work on a desk or a clean stainless weld.Quote:

just being an asshole and yeah to answer your question
was flipping a 2ft x 6ft slab of granite a few times by myself while cutting it last week all proud of how tough I was feeling and how I wrastled the thing woke up the next day feeling like a hunch back was not feeling tough then the mexicans told me how to cut it after I cut it and I felt stupid cause there way was so easy
I was relating a story to my wife the other night of the head contractor at the commercial job I had. He saw me doing some dumb shit tightening a major pipe union (was like a 24 or 36 inch gas main), walked out with some different wrenches and said "work smarter, not harder dumbass".Quote:

Dentists only make money when they are pulling teeth. Unless you can escape to some kind of minimal oversight passive income, the prize is more money. 12s in an office hurt your waistline, 12s at manual labor hurt your joints
If I work more than 32 hrs a week I feel like I have failed.

What he really means is that “we paid too much for a building that is falling apart and are counting on you, the city, to bail us out. Besides, think of the extra taxes the higher density will generate”.

Right. My pansy ass desk job never really ends and I never clock out. I dream about a job where I pound nails or whatever all day and leave it behind when it’s quitting time.Quote:
