The best is when you send an email and they reply in a chat or don’t reply all. Makes my spidey sense tingle

I always send meeting minutes so I can remember what we talked about and to prove that expectations were clearly communicated or an email to prove that I communicated that there’s a serious issue and forces someone to acknowledge it.

Blue collar (blue coveralls class) is just a derogatory term to describe someone that doesn’t wear a white collar (business suit class) to work. But it sorta turned into a badge of honor by the blue collar class over the years, but it’s meant to be an insult by the white color class.

It has nothing to do with skilled or non-skilled labor or education, it’s supposed to be an insult based on the clothes required to wear to work.

Yeah you’d probably have a bad day in America too. I think the person asking the question just doesn’t know what blue collar or skilled labor means.

But does it require skill to do the job or does skill just make a person better at the job?

A plumber can’t be a plumber without years of training and experience. There is no apprentice dishwasher or master dishwasher, just about anyone with two hands and willing to stand in one place for hours can do the job. I washed dishes at a fast food deli for three months for a summer job in highschool. It’s thankless hard work but it was mindless work and required no skill, I washed dishes zoned out and on autopilot most of the time. I’m sure there are skilled dishwashers that can was them the fastest or cleanest, but washing dishes doesn’t require skill, it requires work ethic, it requires completing the task of washing the dishes. There’s no 100 other tasks required to do or learn before becoming a dishwasher.

If any functioning human can walk in and do the job then it’s not “skilled” labor. Having a good work ethic doesn’t equal skilled labor.

“Skilled” labor is someone that spent years honing their craft and making a complicated “job” look like a simple effortless task because they spent years learning how to do it and perfecting it, hours of prep and planning. That’s is “skilled” labor.

True and I’ve thought about it, but it’s nice when these things are built into the design of the vehicle and isn’t just tacked on. It gives a since that it’s meant to be there.

Little addictions.

Addiction is a real problem and incredibly hard to diagnose. I’m not talking about drugs, I’m talking about those little additions that subtly sublimely control nearly every decision in your life. Addiction to caffeine, sugar, social media, TV, driving too fast, being an asshole, being a complainer, etc.

There’s a lot of reasons why we do what we do or why we think we do them but for the most part it’s about chasing those bits of dopamine. But chasing them can lead to some very destructive behaviors.

Better.

I have a good paying job, wife, not addicted to drugs, own my house, own 2 cars, have 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 ducks, I don’t weigh 300lbs, saving for retirement, living within my means, and everyone is mostly healthy.

I just hope my government doesn’t screw it up for me and my kids.

I put an android auto radio in my 17yo truck and a 1500w inverter, only things I wish I had was heated seats, heated steering and 4x4.

I would love to get a new truck with these features but I’m concerned that getting those few things would mean having to deal with all of the bullshit of modern cars. Plus spending twice as much as I paid for my current truck that still essentially just moves me from point A to point B is a tough pill to swallow.

I’ve been thinking of canceling PS+ anyway. I’ve had it since PS3, but I don’t play on PS5 much anymore and the only reason I’ve kept it is my son occasionally plays the PS5.

Sony just gave me a good reason to cancel.

Not really, they just have to talk the talk and walk the walk…and be pedos

That sounds incredibly boring and dangerous at the same time

That actually sounds disgusting, also something you might find in 4th grade lunch dare

But if I take you novel as inspiration and created a new novel then I’m not eating your novel

Thanks Klara, I 100% believe anything posted on the Internet

Sure, if you want the battery to short out and start a fire.

Cut the tips off then drill out the screws so they break off the next time they use it

Indeed my good person, now that we have proven that fart accidents are real, let’s go back to farting and blaming it in the dog

Did they tho? I bet the cost went to the employees somehow, like lower wages or layoffs or less benefits. Those companies probably reported increased revenue too.
