it’s tragically opaque tbh, i didn’t know how any of this shit worked until after i got into a union (which i only learned about from a welding instructor)

1

Hermes Pissmegistus @aleph.bsky.social · 1d

way it works in my trade is workers sign up with the union, contractors sign up with the union, union trains workers & supplies them to contractors, who are hired by clients

there’s a bunch of contractors out here on the industrial side but our residential outreach is abysmal

i do not have a lot of tolerance for people whining that Netanyahu fucked Biden over in order to get Trump in office so he could do whatever he wanted. yeah. he absolutely did that. that was obvious before 10/7.

there is no person on Earth more incompetent as a foreign policy thinker than Biden

i’ve gone completely off of it a couple times (like, up to a few months, long enough to normalize) and the amount of other workarounds i need in order to sleep at regular hours and eat more than 300 calories a day is just really not worth it when i could just smoke weed

Hermes Pissmegistus @aleph.bsky.social · 1d

me: how did i used to do all those things without weed??

me: oh right, i didn’t, and i was aggressively overstimulated and weird at all times 🤠
