I'm still slogging through that INCEL thread and it's starting to scare me a bit.

Not because of the content or that these people exist, but because a lot of it is similar to poo poo that came out of my brother's mouth while he was visiting.

The internet is profoundly effective at corralling young groups of aimless white men into lovely philosophies.

I'm curious if he'd be an incel success story or if they'd hate him for becoming a CHAD.

LoL, maybe two years ago. This is for the job I really want too so I am stoked. And it's not group crap like GM is doing. One on one interview, Fort Wayne Metals in production, $16 to start, $19 upon completion of training (60 days) with overtime and quarterly bonus. Entry level tops out at $21.79, my friend who recommended me is making $26.74.

HYPE.

Sounds like a good place to start. Good luck.

What do you mean by group crap that GM is doing?

It's group interviews and for temp gigs only. They made sure to say that these are 100% temp jobs and won't lead to permanent positions.

A few things that are worse in Canada than Australia -

- Weather
- Buses
- Cheese

A few things better

- Cheesecake
- Tea

A few things a lot better

- Cycling infrastructure. poo poo weather but the way the cycling lanes and paths are set out is AWESOME
- Going from a Aussie woman who I could barely stand the sight of and prefered to park her fat rear end on a lounge to a MUCH slimmer Canadian woman who will (and does) cycle with me.

Life's getting complicated in the best way.

Are you moving to Canada my dude?

I thought he was already a teenager since you're like 65.

I just watched the Last Jedi on blu ray the other night

It was good, but I guess I was expecting some earth shattering revelations that some people were implying, nothing really surprising

Prior to TLJ you had to be a super special white boy in order to become a magical Jedi master. TLJ made it so literal garbage people (and GIRLZ) can become one and that's what pissed so many douchenerds off.

TLJ was a great homage to Empire, the best movie, and it was also a huge middle finger to the worst of us.

So is this.

But I still thought it was a crappy flick.

Not having a regular paycheck sucks today. Another MS6 dude not all that far from me is parting out his car back to stock and he has so many parts for cheap. I just can't be that irresponsible today and it blows.

I'm guilty of box hoarding. I used to hang on to them in case something went wrong and I'd need to make a return. But my wife tosses a box as soon as she opens something so I'm trying to get on that level.

Edit: My mother in law just showed up to drop something off and she's heading out to the Mazda dealer to trade her '16 Miata in on an '17 RF. I'm slightly jealous.

I'm not having the best day.

I started a new workout routine on Monday. A 3 day a week weight program, very low weight to get back into the swing. Got help from an actual trainer to prepare, my form is great, ready to go. Did 1 set of deadlifts Wednesday night, no issues at all through yesterday, woke up today and my right shoulder is jacked. I worked so hrd to get to where I was, lost all that weight, then regain a fraction of it and I can not lose any of it for the life of me.

Change your horizon. You did a lot without complications -- that's rare. Normally our bodies or life circumstances gently caress with us in some way. Even though you think it's a reasonable goal to do the program, don't view it as a failure to have to modify your participation.

Push hard, but only monitor your self once a week... you're looking at long-term change, something not measured in weeks or days.

I'm just upset because I am literally on the baby beginner setting and I can't seem to do poo poo.
