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.
LonelyIt's also cool to think about how I'm paying into social security that there is a 99.9% chance I will never see a dime of.
iH8powI actually did exactly that when I bought my house nearly 10 years ago. Thank god I did obviously.
RparrThis makes me mad on a very regular basis. My parents laugh when I tell them that there's no way I'll be receiving social security payments when I'm their age. They think I'm crazy
Hey at least we'll all still be able to ski when we're that age! ....oh wait nvm
WoFlowzi’ve flipped a single 7 times lol. Once in a race i mean the fuck heads in my boat couldn’t get in time and it’s a waste of my time. To be in a boat with people who can’t row, and don’t take pieces or workouts seriously
I used to row in 8s and being the guy who is pissed at everyone else for sucking is a super bad look, and really annoying for everyone else. Trust me I know the feeling, I have good rhythm but I’m not that strong so I would often be stroke seat in a boat full of beginners, and it does suck. But getting mad about it makes everything worse and ruins the vibe, it’s about teamwork my dude
you know what getting absolutely shitcanned does rule when life sucks. The midwest kind-of fucking blows in a lot of aspects and things aren't even that much cheaper than the rest of the country.

SteezyYeeterif you downvoted this you actually need to fucking die like what the fuck do you disagree with me about. actually fucking die of cholera.
it's ok if you downvote this or that, but not the first message.
what kind of sick perverted fuck downvotes the first message i sent? i hope you get unwillfully anally penetrated by your goofy ass fuck look bindings, and i hope your parents fucking STARVE TO DEATH and you're forced to watch while getting slapped in the thighs with cold cuts. DIE DIE DIE
I'd leave. Put in a week or two notice if you can hang on that much longer, and get out of that place. boss sounds like a Jerk. Get more hours at your second job if that one pays better, you like it better and works with your schedule.
I've left jobs after only being there for a few months. When it isn't a good fit or the people suck it's not going to work. You'll just be torturing yourself.
piss.boyon the verge of quitting the job i've been at for a lil over a year. Friend quit and told me that while doing so the boss was saying he wished i left and my friend stayed cause i was falling behind a little. went in today and apologized for getting to comfortable doing less then i should,(forgot to stock soda and take out recycling one day) and he told me verbatim that he wishes i left instead of my friend. funny part is when he left no one even asked me if i wanted his hours and just gave them all to me so im in five days a week and had to drop hours at my other job. didnt say thanks for picking up hours when we dont have anyone else to fill them, and kinda laughed in my face. never had to leave a job before so i dont really know how to go about this. normally i wouldnt say this is grounds for leaving and i should just be a better employee but the pay isnt great and i have other places to go
hi_vis360I used to row in 8s and being the guy who is pissed at everyone else for sucking is a super bad look, and really annoying for everyone else.

But getting mad about it makes everything worse and ruins the vibe, it’s about teamwork my dude
i’m not even mad just disappointed, and when i tell the boat to get in line with me and 7 seat or we will row like shit it’s considered harsh. It’s a fact. I literally have to ask to run pieces or small boats it’s so bad
iH8powRetirement, the whole concept seems so f’d to me.
it’s so weird seeing how frugally people are willing to be in their 20s-30s etc while they work themselves to death during their prime so they can max out their 401k/Roth IRA and beyond in hopes of having this magical retirement…. My parents (still alive) were high earning medical professionals yet despite all the tailwinds boomers had going for them in regards of economic opportunity, didn’t retire until 65-70. How the hell are people our age ever to retire anyways with all the economic adversity we face, especially if PFAS/plastics further reduce life expectancy (or all the other ways we could die prematurely)? I was on a plane this week behind a row of retirees and they could hardly function. Meanwhile, my grandma wants nothing more but to finally die. She could give 2 fucks less about her great grandchildren, she wants to be dead.
Oh yea, we’ll if you die early at least you can pass your wealth onto your children (that you didn’t spend enough time with because you were too focused on your career). Let me tell you of all the success stories of the kids I know who lost a parent(s) and inherited a windfall of money. Success stories I tell you…. So much success..
Most people don't have retirement savings, so whoever you're describing as being thrifty to save the max, is not the majority. This survey below is from 2023 and is pitiful. Some people don't wish to retire early, but most can't afford to. 65 is the traditional retirement age. Set it and forget it is the easiest way.
Retirement savings are so you can be able to survive without working for the last 20-25 years of your life, but of course life isn't guaranteed. Some take it to the extreme to retire early. Retiring by 45 would be sick.
BTW forever chemicals have been around since the 1940's. Your life expectancy isn't all of a sudden drastically changing. Read about 3M and Dupont and their ethics surrounding that shit.
LonelyI have other savings but I'm definitely going to try and pull some of the retirement out early when buying the first house. One of the few ways you can be excempt from some of the penalties for doing so.
It's also cool to think about how I'm paying into social security that there is a 99.9% chance I will never see a dime of.
You do you but unless you're planning on paying it back fast, I'd be careful. If you leave your job, voluntarily or involuntarily, you must pay back that loan by tax season or pay a hefty fine and income taxes on the whole amount.
Social security is anyone's guess. Yes 2034 is when they'll start having to reduce payments if nothing changes, however the future is up to congress. To say it won't exist (with certainty) is too bold.

A manager like that doesn't deserve notice. Unless he's contracted, if he's got another job, then quit on the spot.
today would have been 5 years of marriage and almost 11 years with my ex. took me a bit to get here but fuuuuck that bitch lol. lifes so much better without her. i get to do whatever i want whenever i want without trying to mold myself into who she wanted me to be. i no longer have to walk on egg shells while she is in constant conflict with my family, her family, friends i knew before her and any and all women. and now i dont have her screaming at me to drink with her while im trying to be sober. bitch was toxxxic yo and 20 year old me knew no better. shoulda left that cheating hoe in 2015. goodbye and good riddance.
been loving biking whenever i want. hangin with whoever i want. doing things last minute and never planning. let freedom ring

just told em im gone by next friday. wasnt gonna give any notice at first but i thought id cover my ass incase i apply somewhere else soon and they call for a reference. feels weird af. Very stoked to go back to working outdoors especially during fall weather
There are so many babies in this restaurant it’s not fair. I had to step out to cry, I’d be in my second trimester by now and it’s absolutely awful how no one warns you that seeing fresh little ones is almost worse than seeing women that are still pregnant.

Good! Yes, that was smart. Leave on good terms with ahead notice. Now hopefully the last week there isn't hell.
I like working outdoors. My current job is great but I don't get to see enough of the outside. The boss doesn't want us having the doors open due to security and birds flying in. They hate it when they get stuck inside and crap on the machines.
Slept wrong and woke up with a sore/stiff neck way worse than I've ever had before. Woke up in pain at 6 and it's very slowly getting better but this will probably mess up my weekend.

got a text from her little sister asking me y i haven’t came over recently and that she wanted to make friendship bracelets with me and my ex. absolutely ruined my day. she couldn’t tell her own sister and the fact that her family wanted to spend time with me. her mom said hi to me and asked me how i was while grabbing coffee the other day as well :/

this girl i hooked up with yesterday kissed my ring when we were cuddling after and it sent me off. ik she prolly thought it was cute and all but that’s the only thing i have from my grandfather, is his silver wedding band. safe to say i’m never seeing her again and she will be left on read

What's funny is it's inefficient power wise to blow smoke. That's all energy being burnt up in the exhaust and not in the cylinder where power is made.
yacked today after she talked to me, so i went home early. quite literally cannot get through a whole day without her fuckin me up or myself fucking up. i want her to just leave me alone
VTshredder69Wondering if making 100K a year is worth being an office slave.
How else are you going to make 100k a year?
Is there a clear path of promotions?
Work it as long as you can
Stack bread
Live cheaply
Get the compound interest rolling
Being in an office 40-50hrs a week isn’t that bad imo. Most of the beef I’ve heard about office jobs is coworker or management related but that’s true for like any job ever.

HVAC? Sparky, plumbing, concrete, UPS driver, honestly $100k/ year isn't super high these days.

you screen name holds true lol.
imo fuck an office job. soul suckin work that consumes the majority of your waking hours. whats the plan? work until your the age of retirement and too worn out physically to do the things you saved for?? fuuuuck that i rather be broke and have fun even if that means i work until i die. also my adhd personality makes it to where if i am not interested in something then i wont do it. soooo i gotta work positions that align with my values. and my values do not include the paper chase nor being trapped in an office.
i can totally see how it can be a good fit for many. especially if you were trapped in a shitty state or had some circumstances tying you down or if being wealthy and having status was a personal value but that just aint me dawg.

Trades break the body. White collar breaks the soul.
That being said, while I am not passionate about my job, the compensation and vacation are decent and allow me to fund/do the things I like so it isn't that bad IMO. An hour of work equals an hour of fun.
Would I rather do something I love and also have the money to fund all the hobbies and shit? Absolutely. Is that common? Not really.
It's all about balance. Working 80 a week and not doing anything you like is shit. Living like a scumbag and being 30 with $100 in the bank account and lots of injuries/no opportunities is probably also not great.
For most, there's probably a good middle ground you can reach but you've gotta find/fight for it.
