Honestly, that guy who sued his parents for giving birth to him without his consent had the right idea. Who would honestly bring a person into this world and think it's a great place to live? Oh wait… that's why they're overturning Roe, before too many of us start to think like this. smh

To give some context, I am a self taught motorcycle mechanic which started with my first bike. Since then I’ve been fascinated with them, and even made a 28 hour round trip over a weekend to pickup a project bike to challenge myself. Using that and my self-gained knowledge of bikes in general, I got a job at a motorcycle dealership as a entry level position being a “Setup tech.” Setup techs build brand new units that arrive, and get them ready for sale. Now, I’ve loved this job. Using my hands, and eventually bought power tools, and my entire own set of tools. (Not wanting to sound spoiled here) My dad even talked to my boss at one point and turns out he bought me a US General tool box which is one of the only gifts he has ever bought. Anyway, I’m now 6 months into the company,…

one uni I teach at asks “can you have these assignments marked in 3 days?… now don't worry if not! we'll hire someone else to do it!” me “but I need the money” them “so 3 days then? you're the best!”

When you work in a field that pays low what do you tell family or friends who say “well you knew teaching (as an example) pays very low why did you go into that instead of something more lucrative?”
