My user name is actually a Metal Gear Solid 2 reference lol

I also would hire anything with a pulse since we can train them on the job, but they can’t have a criminal record due to the clients we deal with and some work travel is required. It’s also messy work – fiberglass – and a lot of people don’t want to do that (and I don’t blame them lol).

Yeah, probably. We have posts up on indeed and in the local papers but we’re getting nothing worth following up on. And I don’t think anyone hires recruiters to track down manual laborers.

I’ve had a job posting up for 3 months in the Midwest USA for a couple of warehouse positions starting at $25 an hour and I’m barely even getting any applicants. We still have a few boomers and GenX in the warehouse but the millennials (like me) and GenZ went to college so they aren’t looking for these jobs, at least around here. We’re a very small company so the weird thing to me is that this is an easier warehouse than Amazon to work in, by far, and the Amazon hub 10 miles down the road has no problem staffing, even though they only pay $16.00/hr and their benefits sucks ass compared to what we offer. The average warehouse pay in my area for my industry is $18 an hour.

One of the first things I did when joining kbin was start blocking many of the meme communities. It’s just not for me. Same reason I deleted my Facebook all those years ago. The ONE exception is LOTRmemes because come on

Pay off my mortgage, invest it and live off the interest, and spend the rest of my life traveling with my wife

I’m the opposite. I live in the midwestern US so when it’s hot, it’s also humid. If my room is above 72F I can’t even sleep, I just sweat right through the sheets. On the other hand, when it’s 40F out, I’ll open my windows and sleep in my boxers.

I’m 34 (male) and my brother is 31. He’s my best friend (besides my wife) but he moved like 10 hours away so we try to fly a couple of times a year to hang out. We text every day multiple times.

MLB The Show and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2018, co-op with my friends). I play them both every Friday night and have hundreds of hours in each.

Same thing as Lemmy, just a different site but it’s federated as well. Lemmy can see kbin content and we can see Lemmy content. I’m replying from kbin right now.

Just kbin and discord, I have no other social media.

I still remember watching the OC back in high school and seeing them play a Playstation game with an Xbox controller. I think about it sometimes.

I decided to come home during summer break during my senior year of college. I wasn’t going to but I decided I should do something besides sitting around playing video games. I got in the car, drove for 4 hours, and got a call from my best friend that he was having some people over that night. I almost didn’t go because I was tired from the drive. I decided to go. I knew everyone there, including a girl I had been friends with for years but hadn’t seen in awhile. We were all hanging out, me and this girl ended up hooking up that night. We’ve been together over 12 years, married for 6. If I had decided to stay at my apartment and play Skyrim instead of driving home, we very likely wouldn’t be together. I think about it more than I should lol.

I’m so ready for the work week to be done so I can plop down Friday evening and start.

Yeah I had all 4 of them removed and mine were growing in horizontally instead of vertically, pushing the rest of my teeth. 0/10 experience.

You will be absolutely miserable. I was leaking blood out of my mouth for days after mine and the pain was seriously intense. Heavy dental surgery like that requires rest to recover properly.

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.
