I've reached my wits end with my career. Nothing within the industry holds my interest or seems interesting which means I don't want to know any more about IT than I already do, and every task that's given to me is like pulling my own teeth since I have no interest in it. One motivator for me to get into IT instead of auto repair stuff was someone told me that the ceiling for wages is much higher in IT than automotive, but if I don't give half of the smallest rat's rear end about IT, how'm I gonna make any more money? Once I get my credit cards and student loans paid off, I'm gonna go find a fuckin job I like and devil-gives-a-gently caress about how much I make.

I think it's a deeper level of fuckedness. From the outside it seems like decades of gutting your education system and politicising minor issues has resulted in a tailspin you aren't likely to recover from as each successive generation is more ignorant, unhealthy and politically extreme than the last. Everything I've read of history makes it seem like the USA is an empire firmly in decline and on the precipice of disaster.

Tumblr and Twitter really enabled the takeoff tho - the sheer amount of stupidty both those sites distribute is stunning are more troubling. Twitter for the easy spread of sound bites that idiots latch onto as well as I'M OFFENDED BY THAT, Tumblr for enabling a whole bunch of special lil flowers that should be treated in a hospital for brain issues. The collective IQ of the world would leap if you carpet bombed both of those services.

The breakdown of the education system and the outright poo poo the media spew have put us in a downward spiral that makes social media pumped primed for any amount of stupidity to seriously take off and generate a feedback loop of idiots. That feedback loop makes social media one of the worst things to happen frankly - it's literally making SA's slogan of "The Internet makes you stupid" true in a huge hurry.

I had a roommate in the military whose goal in life was to be a millionaire but had no idea how he was going to accomplish it, and was flabbergasted that I wasn't motivated by money. How could you not want to be a millionaire? Everybody wants to be rich

I have a friend who is the service writer at an independent Volvo shop. I hang out with him sometimes when I'm unemployed, like right now. He quotes prices like that all the time, and I just sit in awe when people bust out the credit card and pay it without question. Keeping quiet takes a lot of restraint on my part.

The real irony is that they consistently beat the dealer by like 25%.

AOTC is loving crap when it came out and it has aged hysterically badly since. And if you think 1 was better than 7.... I refuse to believe anyone who can breathe air unassited legit thinks that.

Spent a couple hours this president's day morning laying down TIG beads.





Only zapped myself a couple of times!

Starting a puddle on the joint was surprisingly hard.

Safety Dance posted:

I chucked those pieces back into the scrap bucket before I left, but it was maybe 1/16" or so.

This may not be a groundbreaking discovery, but I worked out that the puddle would make a horseshoe-shape going across the gap, and I could walk that horseshoe down the length of the seam by dabbing my filler rod into one side and then the other.

Known issue. The recall for Sonata engines came out the same week as the news broke about VW emissions, so no one heard about it.

Speaking of college students...

There is one dumb motherfucker in a class I teach today that a) has not done anything in the first 6 weeks of class, b) has been repeatedly late or absent, and c) rage-quit the class on Thursday after I wouldn't accept from him a late paper (literal rage quit, where he stormed out slamming the door... except the door has a slow-close device on it, so he ended up looking even more ridiculous)...

So he came in today, repeatedly interrupted me until I said I was just about to lose my patience, then proceeded to fall asleep to the point that he fell off the chair, hit his head on the floor with his glasses flying, only to lay there for an uncomfortable amount of time without moving. I know he's on drugs, but drat, man, get your poo poo together, you look like an absolute clown.

and the professor can't teach for poo poo (we spent three weeks going over the loving otto and diesel cycles over and over and over again, which literally all of you can probably recite from memory)

so ive basically had to teach myself and im not confident at all going in to this loving thing

COLLEGE

E: oh and the homework solutions he posts regularly have blatant errors on them. im talking like transposing different units which leads to wrong solutions. at least the hw is extra-credit only.

FWIW I think therapists are like mechanics for your brain but they can't get in there with a screwdriver themselves, all they can do is tell you how to use the tools and what goes where. Kind of like when a mate needs help with his car and I stand there telling him what to do without getting my hands dirty

I was going through something a few years back and this dirty hippy chick said something that stuck with me --

If you're upset about a problem, you have two problems -- a) the upset and b) the problem.

It sounded like hippy bullshit to me, but by god, it's true.

The world is focused so much on me, they forget about the community that surrounds them. The country is so focused on a single political issue, they fail to look at the whole candidate. The whole community fails to recognize when some one falls on hard times, and instead of pitching in and handing them some bread, they instead choose to chastise them for being poor and on welfare. We chose to judge others and instead chose to forgive. We focus on ourselves and focus on how many facebook likes we can get and not to help others.

What's fun is if you go back and re watch the first F&F movie it's funny how badly it has aged.

Slavvy posted:

It is nothing like that because the matrix was good at the time and if you watch it now and put aside the horribly dated effects, still a decent film. FF was terrible garbage from day one and only gotten worse in light of the sequels (which slowly, painfully plodded their way up to the level of merely ordinary mediocrity).

I misread this as "Lewis Black" and now I want an F&F movie shot from a dashcam perspective with him yelling at other drivers for 3 hours.
