Wish the novelty crusade could teach something…
I show my helper the scissors.
The electrician scissors and the proper way to use them.
“the old timers taught me this, it separates the men from the boys”.
In this realm.
Sure.
Not in the real world,but in this one specific thing…
The real world doesn’t give a fuck about you,and if you’re clever I believe you can truly find peace in that.
Beat them at their own poison.
“cannot poison the poisonous”.
And I catch myself liking the young guy.
I see myself in him.
21, full of energy, horny as fuck but also a space cadet..
So I tell him..
“don’t settle here..be grateful for your paycheck and position,but don’t tie yourself to this place”.
A nice way to say..
Please don’t regret the years.
Even with what I teach You.
You might hear $40 an hour and think it’s hot shit..
But there’s so much more out there.
So much more if your spirit is not injured.
Do not … Become trapped here.
You are my helper, I need you to load and deliver items to construction sites…
But while we’re doing that..
I’ll be teaching you the things that make me valuable..in this trade…
So you don’t feel like you’re in a dead end job…
ALSO!!
Something I realized…
I thought young people were good with computers, by default.
I thought it was natural for them because they came up with them… In the correct time period..
This dude can’t even type.
He doesn’t search gOogle for Anything, He can’t operate a spreadsheet a word document or compress a handful of pictures..
I’ve noticed a few young people like that…
(location location location)
Yeah… maybe..
Maybe they’re not into it because it’s nerd shit…a
And just because I find tech fascinating, it doesn’t mean that every person in the south does. .
Oh well…
Teach your kids about computers…geez .
(EMP?)
Yes ….fair enough…. During the apocalypse, this kid could absolutely go kill a deer and skin it and dress it and cook it….
So…
Perhaps the Armageddon is only coming for the nerds..
Which would be pretty funny 👍
Because they’re nerds….
