Being a parent now, I judge parents who neglect their kids or don’t provide for them VERY harshly.
Work 3 jobs - do what you have to do. Stop being a lazy sack of shit. Take care of your kids or don’t have them.
I will never apologize for this and I will call them out to their face.
Hello my friend. Speakers were always my thing and loved Polk before they got overly mainstreamed.
I was just reading a classics speaker thread featuring a/d/s speakers from the late 70s and 80s. First high fidelity speakers I remember listening to extensively. Very neutral for the time. Thread had snobs bitching that they don’t measure up to high $
speakers of today… geez. Only 40 year technology lol.
Big glue guy here, whatever team, group, whatever that I’m a part of I tend to take the brunt of jokes, about fitness, fatness, intelligence, all that jazz 99% of the time it does not bother me, my self image has been able to withstand the good natured barrage over the years with minimal negative impact… but you know when you tell yourself, or someone else tells themselves a lie enough times that it becomes truth? I’m at the point now where I don’t know which way is up with all this, I catch shit all the time, and logically and contextually I know it’s good natured, but fuck me if my brain isn’t starting to internalize and believe it at a higher and higher percentage. Not a fun confession, but definitely a necessary one for my mentals 
classes start in 2 weeks. I am not ready for classes. got too comfortable over the summer
Jeez, you don’t start for another two weeks? I started two weeks ago.

I’ve been kept pretty busy with 2 projects
Hi, fellow imposter syndrome sufferer here
This is the only thing that has helped me cope
Is there any other way?
Everything here is so convenient. It’s disconcerting
I confess I had 6-8 ice cream cone cupcakes and a plain white bagel with a ton of cream cheese for breakfast.
I confess I had a slice of Costco pepperoni pizza and a Costco vanilla ice cream cup for lunch.
I confess I do not feel even the tiniest bit guilty for consuming this (tasty) garbage today.
What’s the special occasion?
Yesterday was last moving day so mum and I went to fancy places. Ended up in a very massive surplus
I confess there wasn’t one.
THIS is how these topics are supposed to work! Outstanding work dude.
You guys like to laugh at ppl being proud of doing basic things, but I confess I’m proud of myself for getting my ID card sorted, collecting documents and changing my mailing address
These basic admin things stress me out way more than they should
Maybe I am built for academia bc I have 2 projects and a grant proposal in progress but have trouble figuring out how to receive packages 
I am tempted to quit a job after my first day. It’s not a “career” type of job, just some part time landscaping gig. The boss was the most incompetent, clueless guy I’ve ever met. I have no idea how he has his own company. The pay is also almost a quarter less than what was advertised.
In a full day, SIX pavers were laid. That’s right, SIX. Nothing else was accomplished. He somehow made a job that should’ve taken maybe 20 minutes? take 9 hours. I don’t understand how this was even possible.
this explains a lot…
That level of success is outstanding, actually.
The jobs I’ve been on, the welders get all the chicks, then tree cutters, and pavers are a distant last behind dudes that do comm lines.
Edit: For real though, guy sounds like a douche. And he’ll 100% blame you for the job going to crap.
“You’ve done a lot of stuff, but you haven’t done it here.”
Are we talking about the same thing?
Like I’m talking about these pavers. I thought hall you had to do was Step 1: Make sure the ground is level. Step 2: Place paver on level ground. Lol
And yeah, he blamed me. He hired me and two dudes who are most likely crack heads. They got confused and panicky, and he didn’t seem to know how to use a level. He’d do something dumb, I’d try to politely correct it, seeing the issue, and then he’d just scrape pieces of gravel under the edges trying to get it level until giving up, throwing the paver to the side, digging the ground up underneath, starting again, and telling me I hadn’t been listening.
yeah. I was just playing with words & peck order of the trades.
Guy with a truck & no clue jobs are tough. And of course he blamed you.
Probably going to try to stiff you on the pay too. Cuz you screwed up that whole job & cost him money!
I’ve done this dance. Get paid & split man. No shame in that when its that kind of shit show.
I had one guy try to keep my tool belt & tools once. He gave them back after some polite coercion.
