  • Yo so I was on this job in 2011 where the home owner was the contractor and had volunteers build her single family residence and retreat, I was on the paid crew.

    The building department called it a mistake and wanted to tear it down. She sold it to an unsuspecting moron and he is now holding the bag. She was all about “community” and work/trade.

    That house leaks like a sieve, and isn’t well temp controlled.

    Top tier douche baggery right there. I got so many stories from that job 😂
















  • Yes and you can check how much a state spends per student and see why.

    Idiots from Florida come in at $9k per student where students from NY/NJ get $12-$15k and the difference shows. If you’re hiring out of Florida expect them to suck and have less skill than 70% of the country.

    Idaho and Montana have got to have some of the dumbest and most held back areas I have ever seen. Even their construction practices come from the dark ages in some cases.

    Don’t even get me started on the South and Midwest as a whole.

    Geniuses are rare and intelligence scores are bullshit.

    Put money into schooling and fund teachers. You will solve your “everyone is stupid” problem for sure.


  • I bet GTA VI will feel like all the others and not be too innovative because why? Their player base is just degenerates. The game design is to fuck each other and the NPCs up while giving you the feeling that you can do anything without taking responsibility.

    I’m not that gamer though. I like complicated thinking while smashing and grabbing. GTA doesn’t have that so I made up my own scenarios (RP before it was a thing with my friends in person typically while drinking) and played my own game when San Andreas was out. IV and V were just nice updates to the same game SA was.

    The stories were bland at best. The missions are bland too. Makes sense how RP got popular because the game itself is just tropes and cliches and stuff we already see IRL. They just capitalized on it. Rockstar isn’t some amazing company they just show you what you already see but in a video game. It’s not creative, it’s just observant and opining.

    RDR2 was a great story but that’s where that game ends. It’s another sandboxed GTA in old west times. Nothing special.

    You can’t choose your destiny. You just sit in a sandbox trapped and stimulated by simple dopamine triggers without puzzles to work the mind and skill. Kind of like real life.

    Overall it’s not a bad series. For what it is it is fun. To act out and be irresponsible in a vidya game is for sure fun. Maybe it’s even a work of art? I would agree. But it’s not something that is really innovative at this juncture. It’s not profitable.
