If you have any issues, you need the license plate, but you also need to get an image of the driver.
I’m a cyclist , but I have mixed emotions. Road cyclists here will ride 4 wide, going 5 mph up a one lane hill with 20 cars behind them. Personally I’m going to share the road if you are faster than my esk8 , then I’ll help you pass me.
Even if I literally built the road or freeway we are on , it’s not mine. I don’t want to ruin your experience and I don’t want mine ruined either.
Insisting on your rights over physics and common sense is dangerously foolish.
When I rode a motorcycle every single day for 20 years people would say how dangerous it is, but fencing with cars wearing spandex and a foam helmet isn’t dangerous? Tread lightly, some people are not safe to fool with. Everyone take care and be nice
With a tear in my eye, I’ll remember “sky king” who, after only flight simulator games and asking the pilots questions, pulled a barrel roll before signing off.
My experience with suicide is people that survive an attempt at some point are always happy to be alive, I am
i keep trying to come up with good advice but most of it sucks. the best i can come up with is be quiet about why but just do what you can to not work with the guy. Being a biggot is not a protected class in the us So feel free to be discriminatory same as anyone who can’t tell their ass from a hole in the ground. If he doesn’t know how to get along and work well with others he’s not really a good employee or coworker.
Also humor is good, dude’s like that don’t have a lot of bangers so google around to find some good retorts, if they’re funny then it’s easier to shoot them out in a crowd and deflate the d bag. Maybe he’ll not want to work with you after making fun of him for a bit. Win win
Dude this is like 90% of the (white) blue collar workforce here. Fucking bogan redneck fucks.
Most of them seem like reasonable people but nearly all of them are racist, sexist cunts.
Our construction industry has been literally flooded with Asian and Indian workers over the last 20 years, and the vast majority of white cunts are just that. White cunts. Not accepting or inviting at all.
I have to bite my tongue every day, my job is to pretend like i’m friends with all these fuckin morons. The friendlier I am with them, the easier my job is. It definitely ends with some awkward silences sometimes, but in my experience, its never ended well calling a racist a racist.
Used to work for emergency services for NY and i loved it when i would get called to take care of racists and bigots that would stay quiet when this big black Dominican would attend to their wounds and take them to the hospitals
Since I’m not a native American, I don’t feel like I have any right to tell anyone they don’t belong here plus at work. I get paid to get along with you long as you’re doing your part. I don’t give a shit everybody needs to eat and wouldn’t it be funny if karma was real and we all had to be every race before we could move on?
The thing is this guy’s like 65 and probably 230 and so he’s much bigger than all the Hispanic guys and unlike them I could actually check him and I’m kind of ashamed to say that I kind of want to
And as for being funny or quick on the comeback, he’s neither and I slay him. I’ve been talking shit at work for almost 30 years. Worst thing you can do is come back with fuck you that means you lost.
What I do in circumstances like this is I just try to remind myself I dont believe in free will.
It sounds like the coworker you are describing has a shitty brain, which in turn, makes him who he is. If I had his upbringing Id might be the same way. Luckily, I wasnt. But I cant take any cred for it, because it wasnt my doing.
Except for genetics we are simply a product of our surroundings, nothing more, is what I believe. Plant a tree in shitty soil and you’ll get a shitty tree. Not the tree’s fault it was planted in shitty soil.
I realize alot of people dont share this point of view though…
I’ve seen the opposite also. Friend, from a family of alcoholics that had a rough run, completely opposite of his family now grown up. The man doesn’t even drink as it reminds him of his father.
Update, I’m not proud of myself, but some things set me off. He started with the trans sexual hate, my eldest child is transgender male to female. I love my children. I believe in freedom, being a transgender dad is not easy.
I started taking before I made a decision, I told him I had a trans child, and if he didn’t stop talking about this, I would be standing next to his car door at quitting time, we would settle it like men and leave any grudges there, you win, I’m fine, but you can’t talk about that this way or you will find me next to your car tomorrow, even if I’m sporting black eyes.
I had a rough upbringing by every single metric. I couldn’t speak for others because I’m pretty odd. It made me rebel against everything that I hated. I would be and am a fantastic father, if I had friends I’d be a good one.
My rough childhood ( my kids say I was raised by wolves) made me want to be someone who was kind , strong, quiet.
The way you react to adversity says a lot about your character
On a more serious note. I have VAST experience with suicide. The VAST majority of people,including myself are happy to be alive. Failed suicidal ideation is always a relief. Every single person gets overwhelmed,it’s ok, but no matter how terrible or hopeless things seem,people who hold out are not sorry. They are happy to be alive,give it a chance,ask for help,it’s not how we fall,but how we get up. I love some of you and hate most others,but we should all cheerfully root for every person to succeed (except it you wear a red hat with hate speech,then grow some shame and common sense dick head) then accept you were a dick,then we will forgive
You have to get the boss to shut him down. I was a road warrior for a while (computer shows) and a lot of the guys who setup those shows were pretty racist. So they’d go off at dinner thinking it was ok until one night when the boss was having dinner with us and he shut them down hard. Not a peep after that.
Of course that only works if the boss isn’t racist.
The owner is awesome, I’m the only other white guy, he probed to make sure he wasn’t hiring another racist. I explained the situation. I told him I had 16 amateur fights and 25 years of sparring. I said if he say something about trans people or Mexican people again, I’m going to solve the problem. That’s how it is. I have other jobs to go to tomorrow, I love everyone else. Tell me what you want.
He said we love you, you’re staying, you will never see him again
Listen to me, there’s no place for hate among decent people. We all belong as long as we contribute and are kind. Otherwise someone crazy might make you their special project
I’m damed tired of racism and having to establish I’m not one. Being white is easier than any other race, I’m assuming, but I hate having to establish, that I don’t suck
Ya, getting old that the vocal minority have made being a dick and not minding your own business the norm. Heavy is the crown of social hegemony. The only way out is through, just gotta make being kind and fair the norm. Maybe one day my kids will wonder what all the awkwardness is about. Can only hope
