I started working in shops around 2000. I’m so fucken over it.

Learn a trade, may not always pay great but you can always find something.

Live below your means, assume you could be laid off at any time. If you’re able to buy a house, don’t buy too much house.

and slathering it on a well done steak

Burn the heretic!

Diet of Worms assembled the bible from available sources, IIRC. Forget where apocrypha and Catholic/Protestant diverge.

Not IT support directly but I’ve had that same experience with plenty of boomer men in machine shops. They’re fucking proud that they suck at computer yet CNC has been around since the '80s in a big way.

Ran a shop for a while and still have the terminating document from when I fired one of those fuckers.

This one of my trucks, it’s a 98 chevy 3500.

I’d post another pic of my 98 ranger with mud, carry rack and towing hitch as well as my play farm but Lemmy isn’t taking it right now and i have shit to do.

That asshole isn’t driving a real truck otherwise he wouldn’t be taking up four spaces like that in the middle of the parking lot. He’d be parked in tne back row like not an asshole.

The frame is too long to be a real truck. He spent over $100k to have people that actually work for a living to build it for him.

Most male enahncement devices have towing crap on them so they can tow a boat or a camper once or twice a year. It also makes the manchild feel like a big boy.

Lifted and that long means it absolutely isn’t a real truck. It’s a stupid toy.

Again, real trucks are also beat up as they’re tools, not toys.

I grew up working on a farm, I’ve been around industrial trucking my whole life since then. This isn’t a truck, it’s a toy owned by a boy with a masculinity inferiority complex.

You’re correct. Edited.

This is totally a male enhancement device due to the lift and frame length. It’s weak in the frame and real regular off-road use will crack it.

It’s a fucking joke just like the joke that drives it. “Look at me! I’m such a tough manly manchild. My beard is huge and I listen to country music even though I’ve never owned a cow and live in the suburbs.”

Real working 4x4/dually trucks tend to be factory height (little higher than factory rear wheel) as you don’t want to lift heavy shit higher than you have to. They’re also beat to hell because they do real work.

Nitrile gloves, thicker the better. It will break them down but it will take a while. The fumes are chlorine gas, but aren’t that bad if you’re outside. What you really have to watch out for is getting it in your eyes, wear goggles.

Baking soda will neutralize it, so you might want a gallon of water and some baking soda on hand. It will burn your skin if you leave it on you, but it takes a minute and you have time to just wash it off.

Paint brush would be a good way to apply it.

Too much truck, not enough dick, as they say.

Slide under the midpoint with a battery powered angle grinder or a sawzall and cut 3/4 of the way through one side of the frame. Then you just let physics do the rest when they hit a good hard bump.

Xanthan gum and muriatic acid will make a nice corrosive paste that might do the trick if you’re into edging with your sabotage.
