That’s an absolutely valid point. I’m not American but in Ireland we get the same “foreigners are stealing our jobs” bullshit. I work in a meat processing plant. Most Irish new starts don’t last the first week.
What jobs are they stealing? Jobs we won’t do? We need immigrants, we aren’t far away from a declining population. I don’t understand how people thing that’s an issue when our entire economy is propped up on migrant workers.
I used to unload trucks in an absolute madhouse.
The heat in the back of the transparent roofed trailers in summer was a nightmare so some of the lads would strip down to their boxers then pop their boots and high vis back on. We eventually got cameras installed pointing down the trailers and we’re suddenly required to be fully clothed at all times. Our shift lead took particular offense to this and flashed his cock at the camera whilst shouting obscenities. He didn’t come back to work the next day.
We had 4 guys sacked for not only opening customers parcels but for taking fireworks out of said parcel and taping them to Frisbees which they then threw to each other. One inevitably went off in one fella’s hand. He eventually managed to sue for unfair dismissal somehow.
Another guy was caught trying to sneak a slab of wine out to his car.
That sounds like a plan I can get behind. Ireland could do with a bit more coastline if you guys are buying.
I lived in tents for the better part of a year. I’d set up anywhere with a bit of cover that wasn’t frequently walked through. Woods mostly.
Nah its not just the US. I’ve run into similar in Ireland. I went into the supermarket to pick up pads and a tub of ice cream. Passed them to the young fella behind the counter who then leans over and whispers “do you need me to put them in a paper bag for ye?”
I’m off to strain the spuds.
Only irchighway these days. Gotta get my book fix in.
All the payphones have been turned into little homes for defibrillators.
I can’t use my banking app on lineage and those wonderful folk at the bank have made it so that you cant confirm online purchases without.
Ugh. I got one of them recently and clicking on it and hitting report as spam apparently registers as me having interacted with the email so I have to do the security course again.
I’d never really considered that people might not have seen coal burn.
In Ireland both coal and turf are still fairly common as the primary method of heating. That said they are “trying” to phase it out.
What’s green and sticky?
A green stick
I used be a an absolute fiend for biting my nails. What fixed it was buying a little Swiss army knife nail set. It’s got a wee little nail clippers and file. It fulfilled the need for nervous movement.
IRC is where it’s at. In the many years I’ve been using it to download books there’s only been a handful of books I’ve been unable to find.

Do you have any experience with how CBD work coming from the perspective of a heavy smoker?
That and attach them to the top of those roomba style lawn mowers.
I worked the extra hour which is overtime.
I buy physical copies of anything I’m likely to reread. I prefer physical books but if I want to fit everything I read into my flat I’d need to throw out bot my partner and everything we own.
Herself(my partner) on the other hand buys books she never intends to read. She’ll buy books with pretty looking spines or covers. Or she’ll buy something she enjoyed before but doesn’t intend to read again as a physical reminder of the emotions she experienced whilst going through it the first time round.
These opposing purchasing priorities have resulted in an 8 year argument which I have dubbed the Bookshelf Schism.
I should also note that I typically have at least 3 or 4 copies of the Hobbit at any given time on the off chance I can convince someone to read it for the first time.
I process meat. My hands are rarely dirty but sometimes there seepage through my overalls.
