Wants to get his shit together – becomes a plumber.
Plumbers make bank, they’re in demand a lot
They literally keep the shit of other people together… I don’t know why I thought the people of green text would get the joke.
Aaah I am dense, thanks
FYI wasn’t criticizing you, was just saying
It took me a double read to get the joke. I’m dumdum
Now he’s getting other people’s shit together
At any time he can lay a deuce in one of them pipes and get paid for it too.
Trades like plumber, electricians, etc make good money. Especially if they unionize and get that OT.
Problem is breaking into them
Everyone wants more tradesmen but none of the current tradesmen want to train any
They’re desperate now days. When I was younger and 20ish I tried breaking in and was basically told if I didn’t have a friend or family in to forget about it. I eventually found myself a niche in the trades, but it was rough and not what I wanted. Now we’re facing this demographic shift away from the boomers and because they where dicks about it then, it’s a thing now.
I encourage any young person reading this who feels the slightest inclination to make a circut of their local union halls.
Yup. I think that’s prevalent in all industries and trades. They want the big money, and do not want to put in the time and effort that it requires to earn it. I mean, in some ways I get it because we all got bills to pay. But at the same time, you don’t actually need that boat or the F350. No! You don’t!
And crucially, they keep everyone’s shit together
Indeed.
I mean… if you’re going to start getting shit together… there are worse places to start.
The only other better option for keeping shit together would be waste water management.
But waste water managment ends in treatment plant, which separates shit altogether.
But it keeps the shit together.
Now he can get other people’s shit together, too.
anon is still slinging that crack.
Yeah. I wonder, what future generations will see in 4chan archives.
Lol bro, you obviously don’t know shit about plumbing if you think they can’t have their shit together. They can make crazy bank.
I think the joke is plumbers deal with shit, not that they have low pay
Yes, this is the joke.
I fell like you didn’t read the comment I was referring to
My comment or the one that commented on it? I read both, I dunno.
No he meant the other comment from the commenter that commented on the comment of the other comment.
You’re saying MeDuViNox didn’t read their own comment? Bold assertion
Plumbers make hand over fist if they’re good at their job. Many people get turned away by the “you deal with shit pipes” stigma so whoever sticks around are in huge demand.
It’s not so much what the pipes hold that turns me off, it’s where the pipes are. Crawl spaces and attics and other shit holes. You get paid so well because it’s not a very glamorous job.
I have Arachnophobia. Despite working on it in small ways throughout my life, I still get an extremely strong flight response when one is too close. I enjoy working with my hands and am decent at it. Sometimes I feel just a little cursed. A wee eight-legged dude that wants absolutely nothing to do with me and I’m the one having a freakout.
You can work on phobias like that in therapy
Sure I can. How would you recommend I afford therapy for a phobia that only impacts my life rarely?
My bad, I think I came across judgmental. I’ve got a heights phobia myself
That’s alright. Just that therapy is, unfortunately, all too often an expense that falls far down the list. Housing, food, and other bills and only then MAYBE therapy if it’s feasible. It helps, though the stress of paying it might extend your stay.
Arachnophobia is weird one too. It has it’s roots so far down our brain stem from billions of years of “fuck no spider!” Like flying and confinement are phobias that happen farther up the consciousness ladder. Spiders, and to a lesser extent snakes are in our like bios settings. Came with the motherboard
I usually get that “this is fine” mantra going on repeat until it either touches me or I’m done and wig the fuck out of there. On the rare occasion I tell the spider we’re fine so long as we leave each other be and it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Brains are weird.
The second there’s more than 2 or it’s bigger than a toonie I’m bringing fire though.
Canadian!?!? What do you know aboot spiders!? Lol
I am also terrified of spiders. It helps to pretend that there are no spiders where your hands are, and thats just insulation and dust… not spider webs… yep yep yep!
I knew a plumber growing up. Dude walked around with a wad of cash that would make a gangster blush. Used to run into him on jobs all the time. By the time I knew him he was one of those elder assholes, would spend 5min saving the day with wizardry and old man strength, and the rest of the day smoking weed and being hilarious. R I P Lionel, you were a good one
I imagined how some gang hired plumber to keep shit together, then they see bill, learn that this is how everyone bills, and become plumbers gang. Sometimes it’s called plumbers coop.
Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to get your
shotshit in order.Edit: fucking autocorrect.

What used to be place for school students now is place for old enough people to have children. This happens. This is internet.
Was what I assume was “fag” censored by 4channer or by lemmy poster?
Think about it for a minute, the answer may come to you
Same person?
4chan is a Christian site and doesn’t allow obscenity.
. . .
It was not censored on 4chan buddy.
I’m sure this dude will be a great fucking father. Don’t have kids unless you’re ready for it.
I love good comeback stories.
Inspiring.
First he was a shit. Now he’s dealing with other peoples shit
Gay af
Fellas, is it gay to commit to raising a child with my GF?
“I bet you hold her hand and kiss her. A hand and mouth that’s had dick in it. F@g!”
