Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
@First-light I know this was mostly a joke, but just in case anyone is considering this: Wiccans actually have known doctrine, rituals, etc and will call you out. I've known a few (yes, I made fun of them to their faces).
Now if you claim to be some kind of neo-pagan witch or warlock, that might work
@adam-l i haven't looked at it in a few years now, but it was always good for a laugh.
You know, I bet their posts right after Trump's victory last November would be pretty amusing. I must remember to peek in sometime.
If memory serves, one of their moderators is /u/BardFin who is the head mod of /r/AgainstHateSubreddits, the faggiest bunch of pearl-clutchers ever.
The politicking of any large corporations has always turned me off. Could I do well in those settings? I have for about 18 months. Would have had to trade in part of my soul to get futher ahead.
Walked out mid shift in every single one of these places because some middle manager wanted to tell me how to do a job or tell me I'm doing a job wrong without ever actually having done said job/being able to demonstrate the "correct way" they're screaming about.
Blessed to be one of two employees for my boss in a 60k sq ft shop. He use to have 30+ but he is a bit of an ass hole and got sick of dealing with stupid people. I can go an entire shift without being bothered.
Plus my schedule is unbelievable flexible. To the point I've been told if you don't want to work, go home. I'd rather not pay you if you're just going to phone it in for the rest of the day. Unlimited OT. Enough work to keep me set for life.
Even if I quit today. He'd probably offer to let me keep the fully paid for insurance and come in and run his paint line a few times a month in exchange.
I wish I loved metal fabrication the way my boss because he'd set me up for life.
Read More@adam-l I'd say that goes for adults as well. Almost all news coverage is spun one way or another. It's hardly ever just reporting the facts. Lots of emotionally charged language, and subtle insinuations meant to make you riled up - partly to support certain political narratives, and partly to consume more news.
The news media seldom speaks to your intellect, but rather to your endocrine system. If you want to learn something, read a book by someone obsessed by a particular subject. Journalist are not particularly informed, nor particularly intelligent or curious.
Also, "most people are still pretty normal" doesn't make for a good news story. Nothing positive does (which, btw, the world is full of). That part isn't on journalists though, that part is on us.
@Steve2002 I know what you're talking about. It does suck...
One problem is sexualization from a very young age. It doesn't give you space and time to wonder whether Goofy is a dog or a cow.
Sexual rejection can be taken care of with a trip to some third world country, where women are more ... affordable. Intimacy, by cultivating male friendships. Then, sexual intimacy still remains as a problem, but maybe taking care of the other issues helps.
