>my dick size (3 inches soft)
>my height (5'7)
>my body fat % (12%)

I work at Lowe's in Elk Grove California.
I am behind the paint desk.
If you want to find me you will who the fuck cares come on now its 2017. I am not in the nature of hiding shit any way. I am 29 years old born 1987 Nov 1st. 30 is coming fast.
My dad tells me Lowe's isn't a career.

I am starting to agree since ive been there 3 years and am only making 14 dollars an hour.
I am without the pay increase our "paint making specialist"
>i make paint colors better then everyone else

My dad also tells me, I should join the navy. do 3 years, make some money and buy a house.

This is where i come to Sup Forums's Sup Forums for because if there are any TRUE free thinkers they still lurk.

Is joining the Navy going to increase my evolutionary path ?

I understand the potential if used for education and training.
Also I am Atheist but i believe in the morals of biblical texts.

Do I have to believe in god to be a Chaplin?
I can pretend I believe.. But the fact of the matter is all reality is an illusion and we are living in the matrix. ( if you haven't come to this realization yourself you should soon-also the earth isn't flat)

I dont know what im really looking for here ..

If youre in matrix just go live NEET life, why would you give a fuck.

You missed your chance to be young and dumb in the work place. You need to go through an apprenticeship of sorts while you are young so you have an excuse to not know what you're doing. 30 is too old to not have a skill

>atheist but believe in judeo-christian morality
>understanding of philosophy stops at fucking The Matrix

wew lad you are an embarrassing 29 year old. Did you intellectual development stop at 14???? Read some books. Go to community college. Transfer to a public university. Get a degree. You don't have to be this fucking pleb.

Also Sup Forums is very much not where you would find some supposed Mythical Free Thinkers. Everything posted here is a repost of a repost of a repost. If you want free thinkers, go to a research university (inb4 muh free speech is being impeded by sjws)

>6'1
>9" dick size
>6.5% body fat
:D

cont.

To qualify my implication of being Not An Idiot, I'm finishing a PhD in physics rn. If you're interested in going back to school, I can answer any questions you might have. If not I'm gonna go back to watching Frasier

>>i make paint colors better then everyone else

put a shot of black in this pls.

that's a pleb show you just contradicted yourself cunt

>that's a pleb show

right, but only plebs say pleb.

HEY OP WHERE'S MY FUCKING SHOT OF BLACK I WAS HERE FIRST

Ahhhh Sensei-San-Senpai teach me your wise ways of only ever consuming God Tier Shows and never taking an hour to just chill and watch dumb shit

>I am starting to agree since ive been there 3 years and am only making 14 dollars an hour.

nothing wrong with that, my wifes been working the same place for ten years and only makes 11.35 a hour

this is a good point. $14/hr is really not a bad wage. A lot of people working retail make way worse than that. Cost of living in CA is high though. I live with a guy who works at Costco. He says their hourly wage for non-management positions is up to $25/hr. You could try that.

no doubt. I mean hell, here in PA if you wanna make 14.00 a hour you either go to a trade school and pray that the field you chose is hiring, or work at the same place for like 15 years and hope you don't get fired.

It's not something I can teach you. Basically you're stupid but somehow you force your brain into overdrive so you can function normally in society, but then your brain needs to relax and revert to its stupid state every now and then. So you watch crap tier shit pretending you don't actually like it.

come back and talk to me when you've watched enough Frasier to properly psychoanalyze me. Lacanian analyses only please.

>lot of people working retail make way worse than that.
That is not a living. You can't do much on $14/hr. Try buying a house, traveling, buying a car that doesn't suck, paying medical bills.
Join the freaking Navy and get out of the rut you're in. You'll go places, see things, do things and have a path to doing something worthwhile.

I was stuck in a dead in job till 30, I went to night classes and weekend classes until i finished my degree, now I'm making in the mid 50's salary. you can certainly get your shit together at your age but you have to do it now

It's true. You can't do much on $14/hr, which is just under DOUBLE the national minimum wage! No one deserves to get fucked the way workers like OP do. I'm honestly baffled by how people are able to live on $7.25/hr. Our society is very hostile to the poor.

shut the fuck up, and post more of her

that's the irony of it, if you work a min wage job, like I do for example. I work at a local pet shop and make 7.25 a hour, now am I saying my job requires a college degree and high skill level? No, but I deserve more than min wage, I have to lift heavy bags of cat and dog food (9/10 alone) while walking up a ladder, greet people, assist them in finding the right food for their animal (that right there is more than min wage work). But I still make 7.25 a hour working 36.5 hours a week. It's not very much, at most I make just under 400 bi-weekly, which is barely enough to afford a apartment in the hood. I'm not saying by any means I deserve 15.00 a hour for what I do, but at least 8-9 a hour would be nice...min wage for min work I suppose

lmfao get a real job retard. you shouldn't get paid at all to "work" at a pet store

who is this girl

It's a low skill job that anyone can do. It's a starting point. No one is going to pay massive wages for that kind of work or our entire economy would be destroyed. The goal should be to learn how to gain skils, expertise that offer more value to an employer or to start a business that provides others with needed services.
Expecting high pay when you offer so little is the kind of bs entitlements that destroy socialist nations.

>greet people, assist them in finding the right food for their animal (that right there is more than min wage work).
no, that right there is worth NOTHING.

these days really doesn't matter what you make an hour because they have found ways to fuck over anyone making an honest living, unless you fuck other people over you will not make money to the point you don't need to worry about it. War is big business now a days and i hear at least 4-5 people a week talk about joining the military. Seems it is the only way to make fast cash while learning a trade. I just turned 30 in july and i work for a auto body shop. I only make 13 somthing an hour for hard work and pressuring deadlines, i have been thinking of doing something else but i gave up on joining the military meme, i can't put myself in a blue pilled mindset to be constantly told what to do and yelled at to go kill some people for israel, even though you can get a nice check just for completing training i don't see it worth singing my life away. Your better off saving some money and trying to start a small business.

Do you go to CRC

Why don't you think you deserve $15/hr? Don't you deserve to live a comfortable life? To buy a home? Raise a family? Our value as humans shouldn't be tied directly to our job. Our society needs dock workers, janitors, paint dudes at Lowe's, gas station employees, etc just as much as we need doctors and scientists.

true seems like unless you don't already have kids or a house no one wants to pay you 15+ an hour. i find it hard to save money on 13 an hour between taxes and literally eating for a week and gas in my car i am lucky to have 20 dollars by the next week, it is really sad.

>or our entire economy would be destroyed
>when you offer so little is the kind of bs entitlements that destroy socialist nations

Take your dads advice. The navy will pay you way better (especially once you nail a couple promotions, if you can make Sgt, youre set), and they'll pay for your meals and housing. You'll build up character by PT and military discipline which will be an investment in yourself, and there is a sort of fraternity of military dudes, so you'll get a leg up on getting hired after work, especially if the boss was in the armed forces, because of that. You'll also qualify for the GI bill when youre done, so youll get free money to go to school if you want to after. Honestly, there's no reason not to, if you qualify.

Also, your dad will respect you a lot more and be a lot happier with and proud of you because you did it.

Don't be a chaplain though, get a real job in the navy that will teach you skills you can apply afterwards in life (kind of like how AF/N pilots get commercial airliner jobs afterwards and make bank).

Also, this is a common thread on /k/ if you haven't posted this there yet.

The Navy can do a lot for your life but it's not free. Like everything you get the returns of what you put in. If you DGAF and just do the minimum required most places are happy to let you clean the bathrooms and never get promoted. If you get in trouble things generally get dramatically worse quickly. If you do give a shit and try it's a pretty good life. You get paid to work out and pretty much all bills except cell phone are covered for you.

When you first get in you'll be making less than you make now and generally be required to live on the ship or the barracks until you get promoted.

You can't just "be a chaplain". They are generally cushy jobs given to actual clergy from actual churches. No, you cannot make up your own church or religion and be a chaplain of/for that. You can enlist as someone whos basically a secretary for the chaplain but even those jobs are fairly few and far between because they don't do much and is pretty hard to get promoted while not doing anything.

t. sailorbro

I don't think these jobs *are* just starting points though. It would be nice if that were the case. It would be nice if the only people working at Target were high school kids trying to make some extra cash to go buy weed or see a movie or something. But over half of those making minimum wage or below are over the age of 25! They deserve to do more than just scrape by imo

there are actual real jobs out there bro, working at a pet store is something little kids could do.

learn a skill and then when you actually have value to society you'll earn more money. ANY fucking skill.

>constantly told what to do
>blue pilled mindset

Stop watching boot camp movies, fag. You only get constantly told what to do if you're a fuck up.

Military is the real redpill. Self discipline, fitness, reading books, learning useful skills, and leadership are not blue pilled.

>dead in
Please tell me that was just autocorrect, and you're not actually that retatded.

>retatded

you shitposting m8?

For the record I'm the physicist that posted above. My grad student stipend is minimum-wage tier given how many hours I put in, but the jobs out there after I finish are v cushy.

I still think that people doing unskilled labor deserve to make more than $7.25/hr. They shouldn't have to worry about unexpected health/financial/weather disasters. They're still human. They deserve to eat. They deserve a home. They deserve medical care. Do they deserve an Escalade or a mansion and shit? No. But there IS an absolute baseline of safety and security ("life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and all that) that we deserve as humans.

OP here.

The thing is I'm fine with a shit job at low pay. middle - low class shit. Because there is no danger no stress everything is easy af.

How fucked am I without the military ?

>>retatded

that was autocorrect

So you're fine with your pay. Okay. What are you missing? What do you want? Meaning???? You seem very focused on the military. What is it about the military that interests you?

Because what I do honestly, anyone can do. I know I don't deserve 15.00 a hour to sell and stack dog food. I plan on going to a trade school, but with the local G.E. closing up shop here it's gonna be harder to find anything that pays well. My 2-5 years in trade school wont look like jack against someone who worked for g.e. for 15+ years

samefag harder

I like working out. But its mostly my dad telling me life is gonna be shit without it, since i have no trade. No "real" job.

Somebody defend low wages to me. Make the case in a coherent and logical fashion. Cite scarcity and the invisible hand or whatever you want. How does not paying workers enough to survive benefit the worker, the employer, and the economy?

This isn't a gotcha question. I honestly want you to examine your worldview and make the case. We've all (myself included!) been saying a lot about who deserves what pay for what kind of work and who can do that work without really proving our assertions.

welders aren't in HIGH demand in erie anymore, a lot of people are moving up here from the south and taking the industrial jobs, I'd go in for dock work, but erie's become a ghetto tbh

damn it OP just tell me who this girl is

it's like you're unaware that people can respond to multiple posts

also you're blatantly unaware of what "samefag" means.

why don't liberals understand words, bros? liberals are fucking retards god fucking damn lmao.

anyways just google what samefag actually means, maybe you'll stumble upon a correct definition and by some miracle you'll (for once in your life) have the cognitive awareness to understand the definition of a word.

There's a whole gov dept for this type of thing. Check out welder info by area, some even by county:

bls.gov/oes/current/oes514121.htm#st

If erie's becoming a shithole the time to get out is now, don't wait for it to get worse.

name calling wont get you far my friend

miss molly

i only called you names after thoroughly and kindly explaining where and why you were comically incorrect. in addition, i provided advice on how to make yourself look like less of a fucktard cunt going forward. i was more than kind to you, my brainless buddy.

samefag!

sitting on Sup Forums not making use of your 'adonis' body, fail

The devolution of this thread into bickering about name calling is proof that Sup Forums is not a place for galaxy brain thinkers, OP.

liberals????????? where do you get liberals form that post that contains literally two words??????? If you're referring to the obvious socialist hiding in this thread (me) you responded to the wrong person. Also you got me fucked up if you think I'm a liberal. I'm leftist as hell boy. I jerk off to pics of Corbyn every night

I see that, but im the rough there are diamonds. You can't hate all black people because 25 of them were assholes in high school.

True true true. Kudos on the very candid denouncement of racism btw; you don't see that often on this site.

the fucktards called me samefag first, then get upset when i up the ante

it's this fucktarded logic that makes you unemployable above a minimum wage payscale.

Dude you are well informed in one matter. Still lack inteligence to see your mistakes...
How can you say you dont life in a matrix or literally anything without thinking and researching it...
Ffs you are a physic phd. Probably has no idea how ppl work.
Just becauuse you achieved something. Doesnt make you have knowlege in something compleetly different...
Go be a puppet

Op dont be a fucktard and join the navi...
1. try to educade you in something you like or learn something you like
2. if you lack discipline, after trying to change your life for servaral month go 1 year navi

user keep your shit job and start saving a certain amount of money from each check and then invest. Use the internet and do some research on what to invest in for a couple months until you have that money saved up. It honestly is not as difficult as you would think and you will end up making money off of all those other people working 14/hr jobs. Get good at it and you can stop going to Lowes for good. Also if you get the chance to use a 401k at work USE IT.

Why are conservatives so angry and so ready to put people down? Is your life that shit you get to feel a bit better spewing bile at strangers? Fucking weird.

The Matrix has some interesting starting points for getting into the philosophy, but if you just stop at "my god. We are totally living in a computer simulation" and don't have any way to qualify or explain why that might be the case, you're just a dumb stoner. You haven't come to any novel conclusions.

Physics, however, might have something to say about this. One example:
arxiv.org/abs/1210.1847

tl;dr Observables that differ given a finite lattice spacing rather than a continuum spacetime exist. Sufficiently precise measurements would be able to distinguish the two scenarios.

cont.

To be clear, I never said we aren't living in something like The Matrix! I'm just pointing out that those movies aren't a sufficient case for proving that we are! They're good movies, and I'm glad you're interested in thinking about these kinds of things, but I urge you to take some philosophy and physics courses to learn more about our universe.

>he doesn't see the hypocrisy of his behavior

fucking libtards, born losers.

you

Dude thats simple for me im a phsychopathic high functional autism genius. Extremly gifted. I such cognitive skills tho...
I think what that guy or me were refearing to where the global nationwide dominance of money and media...

I see this often really smart ppl think they are allways right, because they mostly are. You were right here as well but like i said i was refering to something else. The illusion of capitalism. Ppl are just so dumb made to be manipulated they even want it (sad part about it).

>phsychopathic high functional autism genius
>yet his post is riddled in typos and grammatical errors

believable.

You don't measure your dick when it's soft.

ohhhhh I see ok ok. My bad! I misunderstood what you meant by matrix.

You ever heard of Slavoj Zizek? He's got two interesting movies I think you might enjoy. He analyzes a bunch of movies and the ways that they reinforce dominant ideologies. The titles are:
The Pervert's Guide to Cinema
The Pervert's Guide to Ideology

The "pervert" thing seems to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that his analyses are Freudian, and the caricature of Freud is that everything is about sex.

Ye if you are student in math or phisics you see this quite often, their brain works fucking good, but they lack gramar skills.
Like I said I lack cognitive skills like hfa is refered to...
writing skills are for dummis i use visual skills to comunicade. I read ppl like open books.
Also i obly think in picture sequences coming up when needed. Never in language.. its just way too slow and dumb as fuck trust me. There is a reason most language was and i guess still is picture language instead of letters

I mean in theory and in practice you could. Is it flattering? No. But can you? Yes.

Anyone who knows their exact body fat ratio down to decimals is truly a faggot.

I can't tell if this is a LARP now

I'm 6'3. Never felt too comfortable with it.

it was clearly a larp all along, this dumbass is way too fucking stupid to try to be a genius, look at the myriad ways he spells physics

Thanks added them on my list.
For most i'd aggree on that sex thing as well. More like desire.
With drugs you change your motivation from sex to drugs.. but hormones are what run us. We are mostly uncounciousnes simple minded.
I see it loads on other ppl and loads on me. Allways trying to improve..

Even now you giving me positive reaction makes me talkative and more ez to be manipulated

W/e go to uni
Ask weather math or phisic profs have problems with language
Profit congrats you just extended your small square intelligence

I dunno. I know a guy on the spectrum who speaks fairly normally in person (save a few weird tics) but has a very idiosyncratic and inconsistent way of typing/spelling in texts or on facebook. So I believe the autism thing.

And dont get me wrong here i sucked in school every subject exept half of them.
I never went to school tho but still passed and math phisics chemi, nearly all of nature science was 1+, exept fucking bio cause you had to write texts...

>My dad tells me Lowe's isn't a career.

Depends on what your life goals are. How much you make defines what your lifestyle will. If the money you make at Lowes can fund that lifestyle then bam you got a career.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy them. Zizek is kind of a weird dude, but he has some interesting perspectives

Not to be seeking for acceptance or the urge of everyone to be understood... but thanks

You sir are human garbage. The world will be a slightly better place when you die. :)

Yes, this is not a hypocritical response

You seem a little salty friendo, relax. You're not the only braindead fucktard in the world, nothing to be that ashamed about

You appear much wiser then me.
In tearms of emotion controlling and observing what really happend.
(Just a misunderstanding) which resulted in wrong conclusions of mine.

That was the first post I made this thread. My words were carefully chosen in response to the cancerous vitriol you spew in your posts. I'm not salty, you should just be aware of what you are "friend".

Garbage. You. Are. Garbage.

Oh yes! join the Navy. Get shot and now be able to park in the Home Depot Purple Heart spaces.

That is a good reward. Plus they are next to the handicapped spaces in front of the store so it limits the amount of walking you will have to do.
Here in Ohio, they are always empty.

Navy Chaplin, what a pussy.

just try to redpill as many of the younger generation as you can. maybe we can get over the muh virginia woolf meme in our lifetimes.

I live in southern california, 21, dont know what the fuck i wanna do. Aced calculus in HS and shit like that but other than doing general eds im stuck at the whole dedicating yourself part and choosing a major

Check out the info here bro. It has all the jobs and where they're needed over time.
Don't be like this guy and take in a bunch of debt you don't need.

looked at it. So are you implying that a welding career is my best bet? Employment here looks amazing, wage is ok

or is it your rage and outbursts which will leave you behind?

have 401k and i reinvest it into my company stock to increase funds there. shit works its a decent amount for only the 3 years ive been there.

As far as I know it's the hottest right now that's
