It’s almost as if schools push and ideology that benefits schools.
Bruh, trades are in high fucking demand right now too. Between now and 2020 there are suppose to be 300,000 more jobs and that’s just for welder.
Shit, they’ll pay for you to learn how to do it.
I just finished high school and got a untility job in a factory and I have almost no experience. They’re gonna train me for everything plus it has full health benefits.
Trades are fucking great.
My husband is a welder, and is very very good at it. He got hired by a locksmith company pretty much just by walking in and going “Yes I can weld.”
All of the other guys there were great at locksmithing, but none of them were trained welders, and they needed someone who could build custom doors and frames.
They trained him to do lock stuff too, so now he can weld AND pick locks.
The owner of the company, when he handed out Christmas bonuses, looked at him and went “Dude we literally cannot fire you because we’d be screwed so here’s your bonus and also we’re giving you a raise.”
Welders are in desperate demand.
Blows kisses to this post.
Anyway, learn a trade, unionize, wear your PPE, memorize OSHA’s phone number.
i had to watch this like 5 times because of no captions but lmao if someone makes a transcript for this it would be bomb
transcript: “So we have these Santas at work, right, okay? We have black and we have white Santas. And they’re like creepy, five-foot tall, lifelike animatronic… like, Santas that hold plates of cookies and milk, and they kinda look like they could wake up and come to life and murder you in your sleep– and they don’t include batteries, but we have these Santas. Like nothing screams ‘festive holiday cheer’ like a big, hulking Santa. Um. Nothin’ will jingle your jangles more. So, um, this woman comes in and she’s like, “Do you have these?” and I’m like, “Oh my god, yeah!” So a couple weeks ago we sold out of our white Santas, and we are down to like, three black Santas. And so, I take her to the aisle, I show her the Santas, and the first thing out of her mouth is, “I’m not racist, but…” and I’m like, well, I can’t– I’m not in the position to decide if you are or not, but if like– if I could use context clues and infer, uh, I would say maybe that you might be. And three, we’re talking about Santa. Like– (stuttering) did we switch subjects? And so, um, I’m in like, I– the next thing that pops out of her mouth is like, “This is not right.” and I’m like, okay, I’m sorry, but this is what the picture was. And she’s like, “No. Santa is white.” And I’m like, oh no, okay. Okay. So I’m in– I’m about to tell her, I’m like, mid-sentence, like, “I’m sorry, do you want me to go call another store, do you need me to, like, write you a raincheck just in case we we get any more.” And she’s like, “This is wrong, I want them taken down.” She interrupts me, says that, and I’m like, (pause). I like, look around, and I’m like, is she talking to me? Is this, like, my own, like, personal hell? But like, of course it is. So, um, I’m like, “I can’t take these Santas down.” And she’s like, “Why not?!” And I’m like, “You either have to buy them, or take them down yourself.” And that was like, the stupidest thing I could have ever said, because– (sighs) she takes this bag, with like, Jesus’s face, like, slammed right in the middle as a design– it’s big– she takes it off her shoulder, and starts beating these black Santas! She starts beating these Santas down, they were like, falling down… and I’m like, oh my god! What– what is happening? So like, I step in the middle of her and these Santas and I’m like, “Ma’am, ma’am, you need to leave, you need to stop, or I’m going to have to call someone.” So she like, stops, and she’s like, beet red, and like, huffin’ and puffin’, and she like, looks at me and I can tell she’s just trying to get like, a one-liner in, and she’s like, “The Santa I know is white.” And then she walks away. And I’m like, well– I’m processing what’s happening, while also thinking, like, the Santa you know? Santa’s not real. So unless you’re using an ouija board to contact good old Kris Kringle, um, from like, B.C. or whenever, I’m like, that’s pretty impressive, but how ya doin’ that. And, um, I– the last thought that ran through my mind is that, I’m like, I would hate to be in the room with her when she finds out that Jesus is not white.”
society needs shame. if you dont embarrass weird greasy kids in high school they turn into adults who walk their girlfriends around on dog leashes in the mall
Nothing wrong with that as long as there’s Mutual consent
did you know that bystanders literally do not consent to being a part of public sexual displays
being shamed fucking sucks, but it’s necessary for folks to know there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed
I’m saying this as somebody who nearly went off the deep end with my embarrassing weaboo-ness in middle school. I thank God every day that I was given a rude awakening that literally nobody could relate to me because of my wilful hyperfixation and lack of attempts to expand my horizons
…not having friends cause you were the weird weaboo kid is not the same as OP
saying that bullying is good. ‘greasy kids’ could literally be poor kids whose familys cant afford soap. Or just teens thats hormones make them greasy. Like normal.
And the weird hyper fixation phase is a normal part of growing up. Heres how it goes: Middleschool thru Highschool: The hyperfixation phase (this phase is lengthened slightly into college if they havent joined the work force.) This is an important phase where children start to try and build an identity for themselves.
Early to mid 20s: The backlash phase. Angry at whatever the hyperfixation was and people that are still in that phase due to personal shame of ‘having been that’. Intense need to prove that they are better then that and a ‘real adult’
Late 20s early 30s: Moved past the anger and realize its just kids being kids and its best to leave them alone to grow up. May have nostalgia for the hyperfixation phase
Notice that most of tumblr tends to fall in between phase one and two, hence the intense arguments on this site. Fighting with the hyperfixation phase people doesnt fix it, them getting out in the real world with jobs will correct the issue on its own.
And as far as actual gross people with no boundaries. Those people wont change no matter how much you try and ‘shame’ them. Chances are your reaction just turns them on more. They know damn well where the boundaries are, they are just terrible and dont care.
I see what you’re getting at here, but… the point isn’t that bullying is good. bullying is really fucking bad and can leave some serious trauma. (hello, I’ve had some experience with that and boy can I talk about it, but we’re not here for that)
the point is that people who blatantly ignore societal standards and are sheltered enough from them to avoid them entirely need to be put into situations where those standards are staring them in the face. they need to be confronted with “hey, picking my nose and eating it isn’t normal.” or “hey, talking incessantly about my anime waifu and running around with cat ears on isn’t gonna score me any social points.” or “hmm, I’m noticing that choosing not to shower – not because of any financial situation but because of personal choice – is making people avoid me.”
people need shame. they need to be embarrassed from time to time. literally EVERYBODY needs to be taken down a notch now and then.
yeah, there are absolutely phases that people will naturally grow out of… but it’s not as though their age suddenly flips a switch. As people get older, they have more experiences, and it’s these experiences that cause them to grow… and it’s in these experiences that they will come face to face with necessary shame.
nobody’s saying people need to be tarred, feathered, and run out of town in front of a laughing crowd. what we’re saying is that people need to be faced with the reality that what’s in their brains isn’t always gonna agree with what’s in the real world, and if they want to be accepted by the real world, something’s gotta give.
I relate on a spiritual level with the absolute fury in that cat’s face in the last gif
No no no, that is not an angry cat, that is a patient cat!!! Look at that relaxed body language! That cat is letting that puppy chew on its ear–I guarantee you it does NOT have to put up with that. Puppo’s excited paws are flailing all over kitty’s face yet all we get is a patient slow blink??? No thrashing tail, either, please note.
This is not an angry kitty. This is a VERY GOOD KITTY who is being super duper patient with a very young pupper and has probably been around puppies all its life. A Very Good Cat indeed!!!
