Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

Made my dad promise to never work on live electricity again.

He couldn’t find the breaker panel, so he told me he will just do it live.

And it’s not that he might get electrocuted… he WILL get electrocuted. Man he worries me sometimes. If I wasn’t around to change out receptacles with him idk how he would have done it.

Same guy that washes his hands with brake cleaner after changing his brakes hahahahaha even though I have FastOrange to clean the grease off. He still insists on using a mixture of acetone and brake cleaner. I can’t win with him but boy does he makes me laugh

Ohio made a national news story....about immigration. Apparently illegal immigrants are the reason Biden won and why we have an opioid crisis lol. Jesus christ the blind hate for Mexicans is absurd, especially if you consider the contributions they make to our labor force in the jobs no one wants to fucking work.

That too. Apparently people have forgotten that most of our heritages were the "Mexican rapists" of America at one point. For a country built of immigrants, we certainly are quite ignorant.

Fun fact: if native Mexicans didn’t stage a slave rebellion against their Spanish colonizers we wouldn’t have had wild horses in North America like we do today.

This is such a bs trope. Tell me you've never worked a blue collar job without telling me you've never worked a blue collar job. All this means is that you don't support wage increases for shitty jobs when you can exploit people due to their legal status.

WoFlowzSome places pay 16-18 to dishwash they just aren’t hiring rn. I think it’s part naive part privilege. I don’t rly wanna accept that imma be making less money and doing more work with shit hours. I’d love to be a waiter but u gotta be 18. I’m good at talking to people. Maybe a host? Hard to find those tho

Look for golf courses those are a dope summer jobs. I make 16 an hour as a line cook plus tips. You might not need to be a dishwasher. Some places will put you straight on line of there desperate. Just apply everywhere before summer. Don’t wait to long tho.

Once again you are a retard trying to detract from the point of my post. Probably top 3 douche on ns. I'm from Youngstown, Ohio. It doesn't get much shittier than that. My family growing up would be considered lower middle class holding blue collar jobs. I've worked all sorts of jobs in various sectors before I graduated college that one could consider "blue collar", but the absolute worst was working in a factory (really motivating tbh) and 100000x worse than working construction. I could go on all day about this but I won't entertain you anymore. I wholly know and understand the shittiness that federal minimum wage is and support the recent increases of local wages to $15-20/hr. The only issue I have with wage increases is it should be proportional across the board.

But sure tell us what bLuE coLlaR jOb you work so we can praise you for your perceived superior work of hard labor. No one is better than anyone so quit acting like it.

Also for your information, one job Hispanics claim a majority is farm labor. You wanna do that yourself? Didn't think so. What happens when we kick out all the "illegals"? Well gotta fill those roles somehow.

Often, especially at the beginning of working/immigrating, immigrants are stoked to have those jobs as they pay insanely well compared to where some are from. They’re often thankful for the opportunity and to send money home. They may have more ambitious goals for the long term but they’re often not being exploited for the most part. Obviously this isn’t the end all be all for all immigrant workers in the U.S. but it’s common.

They're 100% being exploited if they dont get the same employment standards american citizens do. Don't piss on them and tell them it's raining just because it's better than what they get elsewhere.

Idk man, I’ve met a few immigrants that work on farms and they wouldn’t shut up about how stoked they’re are on it and that they’re even here. Like I said, it’s not every immigrant but some of them definitely fit in that.

Not all companies are exploiting immigrants, a great deal of them are happy to be here and are paid equally, unfortunately some do exploit them, some of us are very appreciative, some of them I’ve grown to love and are a part of my family, I need for them to be happy, and live well, and so do all of you.

Anyone who is against immigrants is just racist and or jealous, hurr drrr they took ma jobz that I’m too fuckin lazy and inefficient to do anyway, you ppl make me sick and your not American.

I think I have an insiders view of the immigrant situation but I don't think my take is the only one.

I lived in the mountains of Honduras, married into the culture, saw many in-laws make the walk to the USA, and know most of them to be quite successful.

None of the in laws picked a single vegetable. Cooks, wait staff, and construction for the most part. One came, became entrenched and several family members followed to the same city. They mostly keep to themselves, live and work in the same circles, shop in local bodegas, pay taxes,.....a few pursue citizenship but not most.... most wish to learn English but it is a fucked language to pick up....

I don't think many of them feel taken advantage of, they understand there's a shit load ppl back home would trade places and they make more in one hour in the States than two days of picking coffee.

Most would never leave their home country if it looked anything like united states.... for better or worse..... but also most have no desire to return to dangerous, corrupt, debilitating lifestyles after*. Living the dream*

You clowns are completely insufferable if you support minimum wage for americans but support immigrants working for less because they're happy to do it. Seriously bass-ackwards fucked up. Not sure why I'm surprised but damn.

Every girl that I’ve introduced myself to in the park has always come off as standoffish and uninterested in genuinely being friends… but 9/10 times give me their Instagram page and never talk again. Classic

I’ve met maybe 1 or 2 other girls in the park that brought the same energy and positivity to riding and it’s the best feeling cuz I don’t have any close girlfriends to ride with! But most of them come off as super boring and generally not stoked at all. Or give me a look like”who’s this bitch and why is she talking to me” hahahaha fuck man, chill out. Can’t stand when women don’t boost each other up

WTH can’t they make the 4Runner with better gas mileage!!!! I mean cmon we know they “can” it’s they “won’t” and damnit I don’t want another 4cyl compass but idw hemorrhage $ out me arse paying for gas, no idw an Ehummer
In addition to the gas mileage, manufacturers should offer tuner switching from the factory, some do, but it should be much more common, not just for performance but for economy, I’m boutta move to the resort so I never have to drive again

Highlander hybrid was top of my list but it cannot tow enough so it got the X, I’m looking at a Q8 and cayenne hybrid tomorrow, then I’m probably gonna buy a Cherokee, I’m already tired of looking and of sales people, I like shopping online but I gotta test drive make sure it’s comfy

if I used a 4 runner off road I’d want a stick too but my sole use it back n forth across the USA to ski or to hills to mtb or climb, don’t do much OR anymore I’ve rolled enough jeeps. It’s a shame sticks are becoming a thing of the past, can’t get an S4 in a stock anymore, shame

I totally get it. I'm going to ride out our current vehicles for a few years and then jump to BEV, at least with the electric cars you don't have an automatic transmission blindly guessing at what gear I would like to use. Your ride got totalled though right?

Yes my compass was totaled, insurance informed me of total loss yesterday 😞 I’d rather it had been fixed, it wasn’t flashy, but it was black, had the options I wanted, was big enough for fam and dog and ski box, had a hitch for lil shit under 2000, and got gr8 gas 😊 but it couldn’t get out of its own way lol 😂 , also airbags in jeeps are phenomenal, I don’t wear seat belts and I came out of a head on at 55 with a slight brush burn on me forehead from slamming into da roof, I tell everyone, I, and most of NS I’d imagine, wrecks harder on skis
i was wanting to keep the compass just a little longer, an EV suv was my next plan once there were more charging points and or battery upgrades, now idk , prob get a Cherokee, it’d be nice to get something that works with my existing roof rails, they were like $350 idw try to sell those and buy new man I had just completed my rig

👍🏼 Wish they’d make em turbo, that mileage gotta hurt unless you don’t travel much, never noticed til I wrecked my jeep, but everyone has a 4 runner, now that I’m more aware of them I see them non stop I’m like shit I want 1 but I hate stopping for gas , I like to truck and keep trucking

I know… I know…. And I used to be an EMT the shit I’ve seen you would think different huh , I just never have in life, I still don’t….🤯 I make my wife and kids tho, and recommend that all do, I just find them inconvenient, there been times I’ve justified it by saying I’d either be fine or it’s so bad idw live and a seat belt won’t change that…. Thus far…. I’m not wrong . do I wear a helmet when I ski … yep every time all the time, condoms pre marriage , uh…. 🤔 usually, do I cook my meat to 160? No fuck no 120 maybe 130, sunblock yep.
Also kinda hate admitting this but at the same time, there are times this attitude makes me think the mindset behind it keeps me healthy and strong and positive, but I still got that little kid in me that thinks it can’t happen to me, that it’s all gonna be ok, slightly balanced by a slightly reasonable adult that helps keep me alive and prosperous, some call it blessed, Some call it luck, some call it ignorance or immaturity or stupidity, but I’ve walked away from things, this and far worse, I mean I’ve been exploded through a wall, shot at, blew a dirt bike apart casing a landing, fell like 50 feet from a roof to a rail on my feet and sprung backwards into a wall fell another 75 or so got up with f in brush burns man, had a dump box roll off a trailer and like crush/bounce off me and a wall everyone thought I would be squished I was like whoa that was real lol, not to count the trees I’ve skid into 😂 so many things in life un scathed that I should not have, I came to a 55-0 stop instantly, no brakes, no skid, instant, felt like angels scooped me up and set me down, I kinda believe I have a preset time, and nothing I can do will change that, so I just LIVE, I mean that as a verb, I embrace the good, try to do good and try to never worry.

But yah wear your belts folks they save lives
