I agree I am very suspicious that we did not get an exact transcript on purpose. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I am very suspicious that pencil neck democrat Adam Schiff refuses to release the transcripts of the interviews of the ex-Ukrainian envoy Kurt Volker and ICIG Michael Atkinson. Hmmm, what are the democrats hiding??? I thought the democrats were for full transparency. Let's go Brandon |

I'll could've told ya in far less words why... Sorry, Babs. Didn't offer a disclaimer because it's just us dudes and many of us "get it", but so's ya knows, I ain't going no where. Some of it's dark humor in an attempt to cope. Some of it is genuine, because the state of men's health is appalling and f#$% keeping this stuff hidden and taboo. But while the idea, even the desire, is often very real, the chances are zero. Going out with a whisper having done nothing? No. Babs, I don't know else how to say it. I am quite literally too angry to die.
I'll continue this convo and just split it if needed, but I think it's important and involves the political debates being had. I thank you for the compliments, sincerely. But this isn't and never has been an issue of self esteem or self worth. It is pure, raging insecurity. And not about shallow stuff, not that my truck's not nice enough or I'm not good looking enough or don't make enough money or can't be good provider or none of the other sort of subjective, unnecessary things. I mean security, period. Like, that if a simple accident befalls you, you'll be OK instead of done for life. I dunno, maybe this is more a "me" thing and I have genuine PTSD from my year of poverty and subsequent half decade with the USPS, but I feel there's a monster around every corner these days. I look to my job now and, coming from a dude who actively seeks out pain and does contractor grade labor for free for fun, I cannot believe the sheer torment sent upon us on a daily basis, both in the form of physical punishment right through emotional abuse. It's not about "I can't make it" because I'm a pussy millennial that doesn't want to work. It's that I already ripped both arms out of their sockets and I've still 25yrs to go. I. Can't. Make it. Look around. My last job... I won't say it was criminal, because I don't think it was, not even technically. But it should've been. It was akin to being the EPA head and being told to wipe protections. It was anathema to my purpose, and a direct assault on my own personal integrity. Not. An. Option. And it's $14/hr now anyway, so that wouldn't work no way. petro's a lineman. Got a couple few lineman friends. Gasmen, too. They were every one of them on my ass when I was impoverished to get a job with them. I hammered them all. Couldn't even get an interview for a meter reader. Ran a million dollar truck stop for 6 years, couldn't get a retail job no way. Not management, not front line, not garden center. I built my own car. Couldn't get on as a welder making utility fleet trucks. Quite a bit of deeper financial understanding re: casino requirements, couldn't even get a job as a bank teller. When I look out, try to convince myself it's just me or my depressed area, I see the same thing. Kids with fresh paper asking "wtf" as all the degree jobs are coming in at $14/hr. Teachers going to their Halloween class dressed up in their second job uniforms, not for extra, not for FIRE, but just to survive. And no matter how far I look, all the way out to factual stats encompassing the entire history of the nation, they all point to highest ever DOW, booming economy, bigly, greatly, good, and also that somehow through all this, the working class has been left in the dust. The last thing I would ever want to do is sit here with a bleeding woe is me. To admit defeat. To say "I can't". But look around. Millennials are killing the home market, not buying, living with parents. Millennials are postponing kids or disregarding the idea entirely. Millennials aren't pitching in for healthcare when it was compulsory and eschew it when it's not. Millennials aren't purchasing, instead wasting with their "experiences". How can you tell me this is our fault? Especially when it was YOU who raised us?! This Boomer v Millennial s#$% is crazy; you're our parents! I'm your kid! Did you, Boomer, raise me, Millennial, to be such a POS I couldn't manage a budget, and leave me with such a hole in my soul that had to fill with material goods far in excess of what I could afford? Or, did you teach me everything I ever needed to know to survive in the world... it's just that that world no longer exists? That's rhetorical. It's the f#$%ing latter. That's everything, dear Babs. These last 8 months of mine have been indistinguishable from winning the actual lottery. For the first time in almost a decade the monster went away. When I went fishing with my son, not only did I "see" him, I saw myself. The me that was. It's all still there. And it didn't take nothing but work being now just weeks away and it's all gone again. That job got me that boat, and I'm damn sure grateful for that. But it's also going to keep me off it, and poison every moment on it, because I can't get away from it. One slip, one fall, anywhere and anytime, and that's The End of my career. Then what? What does my past offer to lean on? What does looking out give me to lean on? Whatever it is, I can't see it. And I'm sure that's probably my fault, too. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Dude, no offense, but I don't read these long rambling posts of yours. I'm sure they're well written, but you really need to work on the point you want to make and express it in far fewer words. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | The United States defended the price of gold at $35 per ounce. In 1971, President Nixon told the Fed to stop honoring the dollar's value in gold. "Gold PricePowered by JM Bullion Oct 07, 2019 at 11:53 pm EDT USD$1,493.74" It's the bankers. The bankers are propping up the dow with money stolen by them from our childrens children. They have sucked the future into a black hole, that nothing can escape from, not even light. The only way the debt gets fixed is through a collapse, so do your part and piss away millions. The only option you have is whether to enjoy this life, and by extension face jr.'s, or make yourself insufferably miserable every day. "To a Gysy, a rich man isn't a man that has a million dollars, a rich man is a man who has borrowed and then spent a million dollars" Ivan Tilla/mentor None of us getting out of this alive. added: If you had been paid in gold, with gold at 35 dollars per ounce, you would have been paid around 120 ounces. At todays rate of 1500 per ounce, multiplied by your salary of 120 ounces, what would that be, about 180 grand? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18761 | Since so many of you love conspiracy theories about Democrats, maybe President Erdogan of Turkey blackmailed Trump, threatened to release a phone call of him trying to make some shady deal in return for a favor. That's why he threw the Kurds to the wolves. Trump saving his own skin, would throw his own best friend under a bus without much thought. What's hard to believe about it? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Conspiracy theories about Republicans have been the lifeblood and modus operandi of the left since Trump was running for president and every single day of Trump's presidency. MAGA (don't click here) Let's go Brandon |

Blackmail? Maybe, but isn't it just as likely that it's his Trump Towers Istanbul? With Trump, a lot of the corruption is all out in the open, right in front of our faces.
Can you imagine how Fox News would react if Obama had owned real estate in Turkey? The right-wingers would claim that Obama's foreign policies were influenced by his own personal finances... and the right-wingers would be correct! |
