Rant About Whatever

Turd__AuthorityDo you ever have family, friends, etc ever ask you stupid fucking questions or feel the need to remind you about something 15 different ways? Then get mad when you respond annoyingly? I got it. Fuck.

ReturnToMonkeyDamn the new bolt still stripped and is stuck but spinning. Can't get it out. Very hard to access spot. The problem bolt was already different than the rest which leads me to believe someone else (eagle tire bozeman probably) fucked up their job, put a new bolt in without telling me, and used a pneumatic wrench to way too high a torque. My lug nuts were also torqued too high. This shit is really annoying, missed my friends birthday, probably will have to drive to Tahoe a day late and miss seeing a different friend. I paid about $300/hr in labor for that job and they fucked up something i noticed immediately, now this two years later. They were not super friendly, either. Why is it so hard to find a decent mechanic? Fuck you Eagle Tire for being such dumb fucks.

Pablo_SanchezI must be the only person ever to go fishing at 5 am and still not catch anything

ASSholebomber22Tweaked my hip last night playing hockey and I officially feel 100 years old

Pablo_SanchezRan outta Zyrtec 2 days ago and I’ve sneezed probably 50+ times today with a highest streak of 6

dwt802About to fly back to Bozeman for the summer from Boston and the Logan airport wifi has to be some of the worst free internet I've encountered in a while. I can't load any videos on NS or anything else and I was really hoping to catch up on ski media from the last two weeks.

Fuck flying for so many reasons.

theabortionatorI fucked up my shoulder and my hip sleeping in my car. Old man vibes suck.

CoolChillGuy42027 is a real motherfucker of a timeline to live in when you don't have a degree or networking opportunities.

ASSholebomber22Look into union apprenticeship positions. Electricians, pipefitters, welders, etc and public utilities and the such. Once you're in you're in, and as long as you're not blasted on fent or meth you're already more qualified that half the applicants

Turd__AuthorityGo ahead, kiss my ass and apologize for being wrong.

Edit: actually I'd like a rimjob please

PacificRimJobJapanese people gotta stop jumpin in front of the fucking train when they want to die or whatever...

Seriously, this morning I am super hungover and just want to get home, and 2 whole trains were delayed for significant amounts of time because some dinguses decided to jump in front of a train - meaning someone had to rescue their dumbasses rather than just going to the mental health clinic.

I love a lot of things about this country, but the weird stigmas they have against seeking help - in this case, mental health - because they don't want to be a burden to others really clashes with the fact that they then jump in front of trains becoming ACTUAL FUCKING BURDENS...

CoolChillGuy420This but homeless people trying to stab people on TRAX/UTA in Salt Lake.

PacificRimJobAll this means is that the curriculum must be inclusive. It is nothing like what you described before. It simply means it can't be discriminatory or favour one group over others - which is kinda hard to do since like 80% of the history in schools we learn is just white euro-centric history written by males anyway...

It does not mean that kids are being forced into classrooms and screamed at by drag queens that they have to be gay and lick each other's asses like the pearl clutchers want people to think.

PacificRimJobThe USA is a scam that's why.

ASSholebomber22You say all this then live in one of the most racially homogeneous and socially conservative 1st world countries on the planet that has a GDP per capita lower than Mississippi

PacificRimJobAnd I'm absolutely the first person to call Japan out on it's shit... This country has some fucking problems. I was just going off recently about the idiots throwing themselves in front of trains again... The government here has to do a better job of reducing the stigma against seeking mental healthcare. Its ridiculous, but it's also a god damn cultural problem... People here are dumbasses in their own dumbass ways. Luckily they don't generally go on murder rampages.

Social conservatism here is wayyy different than that in the USA. It's an Apples to Acorns comparison really. Social pressures of keeping up appearances here are way higher, the bureaucracy means just a bunch of unnecessary busywork that's inefficient as shit, many people feel like they can't really let their hair down, and the reluctance to give up the fax machine is all a bit ridiculous but those are far different than the Guns, God, and toxic individualism of America... Governments also don't tend to get taken by a ride from corporations begging for tax dollars or from scammy real estate developers prying away prime land from the government.

As for the GDP... GDP per capita in a place with 3 million people can be heavily skewed towards the highly rich income earners who live there... Especially compared to a place with over 125 million people. It's a bad economic comparison in this case, as are most direct GDP comparisons. They also are a bad indicator of what the average citizen's living standard is like...

A better comparison would be to look at wealth gap statistics where the top 10% of Japanese income earners only make 4.5x as much as the bottom 10%. On the other hand, the top 5% in Mississippi make 14x as much as the bottom 20%.

I like comparing places with the GINI coefficient instead of GDP - where 1 is completely unequal wealth distribution and 0 is completely equal. The closer to 1 you get, the shittier things tend to be if youre in that bottom 10-20% of income earners.

The GINI coefficient of Mississippi is .49 where Japan's is .33 Meaning Japan is right up there with Canada, Germany, and Australia, and Mississippi is hanging out with Republic of the Congo and Guatamala. The USA on it's own is 41, by the way. About the same as Turkey or Argentina. Not great, not terrible. But it's more in the middle of the pack overall.

New York State for example, has a gini coefficient of .55, which is fucking disgusting, and a product of upstate being way different than the city. (New York state would be within the top 10 most unequal countries on earth if it was sovereign)

PacificRimJobAlike 80% of the history in schools we learn is just white euro-centric history written by males anyway...

SteezyYeeteris there something wrong with that? 80% of history was made by white males.

ASSholebomber22Even the median wage in the US is 2x higher than in japan. You live off a trust fund, don't you.

PacificRimJobThe median wage means nothing when your rent is like 5x cheaper and you aren't a slave to gas prices fluctuating from corporate greed. I'm literally looking at buying houses here with my partner because I can get a sweet spot on the coast with land for less than a used Sprinter Van.

I pay 500$ for rent in a pretty central part of Tokyo in my own apartment and I commute by bike or train lol. European cities have similar setups. Meanwhile, Americans living in a suburb pay a shitload just to keep their oversized suburban hell-hole house comfortable, and their lawn green enough that their HOA doesnt fine them. A double Cheeseburger meal from McDonalds costs less than 3 bucks.

Yeah, you can make more money in the USA, sure... but you also have to spend SO much more money just to stay afloat. I paid 28$ to get my teeth cleaned the other week. that was after the government subsidized 70% of it. I could have paid out of pocket and it would have been under 100$ when just my dental co-pay in the USA back in 2018 was about that much.

Ive lived abroad since 2016 in 3 different countries... To me, the American Dream is a scam.

ASSholebomber225x cheaper? Anyone can find a closet for rent for 500/month

PacificRimJobDude you cant find a tent in someones backyard for 500$ anywhere worth living in the USA.. and even then you wont have a place to park your car that's absolutely critical to afford that 500$ tent... whereas in Asia and parts of Europe or South America, it's commonplace for your company to reimburse you if you take the train or subway to work... Completely deleting your commute expenses and all the stress that traffic and gas prices constantly fluctuating can bring...

I on the other-hand do not live in a Closet, but rather a 2 room apartment, 5 minutes walk from a train station that can get me to the beach in 45 minutes or the heart of two different downtown areas in less than 15.

Sorry man, but America doesn't have anything quite like this outside of maybe New York where it's at least 5 times as much, and it's a shame because I feel like most people there would love this shit and it would make it such a better place. I could only imagine what a place like this would be like in the states. It would be fucking awesome.

PacificRimJob**Written in English and published by white males in textbooks. History is made by everyone of every creed and colour, my friend.

ASSholebomber222 bedroom apartment? Whoooweee slow down big shot!

Also, my company offers milage stipends and my dental coverage is like 7bucks/month with annual free cleanings. I'm 15mins out of boulder, 30 out of denver and walking distance to a park and ride. I'll let you know when I build my shed this summer, I'll hook you up with a killer deal 495/month utilities included ;)

ASSholebomber22Also post floorplan or gtfo 300sqft dorm livin headass

SteezyYeeteri spent all of AP world history learning about people of every 'creed and colour' and it sucked ass. except for china and india, nothing really happened anywhere else.

PacificRimJobLol. Except, you know, literally all of the Americas, Africa, Southeast Asia, Polynesia, and Australia

Let me guess, you didn't do too well in WHAP...
