If youre super green (no experience at all) they wont expect much. You wont need much for the first year other than being able to show up, listen to directions, and not hurt yourself or others.

A framing crew will expect you to have basic hand tools more than a general construction company would. One is teaching you a trade and the other just wants a laborer.

Being a good helper gets you started toward something better. A lead, a contractor, whatever. I work for myself now, and that is very achievable for anyone.

Ah I didn’t know! Im a latecomer to Soulsbornes haha

Also just get into anarchism instead. Anarchists are always sexy.

Correct

There were still problems with Lenin imo but im just an anarchist, we all got killed or gulag’d

You can… read Marx? Or find a podcast about him?

It’s economics, “boring” or “dry” kinda comes with the package

If you want sexy you can try Che Guevara or Max Stirner (lol good luck)

Do you mean Marxism-Leninism? Thats what most people mean when they say Marxism, but there are lots of us who appreciate Marx and disagree with the trajectory his namesake took.

Depends on the trade but tape measure and pencil+sharpie is standard. Framers will need hammer and speed square, electrician will need strippers, lineman pliers, etc.

Most stuff will be provided by whoever youre working with but you’ll be expected to invest in your tools periodically. If you have to borrow something twice, you should pick it up.

Also, good protective shoes. Im a big fan of my Keens.

Get on as a construction helper. Zero experience required, just show up on time with some basic tools every day.

Emphasis added.

Does the President get to use the Secret Service, because that seems unfair

I like when where your heads at

The problem is, I need a bucket truck to get to them

And copper is like $4/lb

That would be nice if they weren’t hurting people along the way

Thats what im playing :)

You grow up, if youre lucky.

They are obviously speaking hypothetically and not from practical experience

Crazy how comfortable as 20yo game can be isnt it? The new class is pretty fun too. Definitely OP but fun.

LotF is pretty good so far! Im a few hours in and still enjoying it for sure. I keep trying to get my friends to jump on so I can try the co-op but no luck yet. Great atmosphere, solid level design (not quite Bloodborne but still good). Im eager to see some more challenging bosses once ive got more time.

Diablo 2 has kept me on my Switch 1 recently till they made Lords of the Fallen a PS+ Monthly on Tuesday. Im enjoying both.

I grew up on Diablo 1 and 2 but never quite beat 2 as a teenager. My family PC couldn’t run it as I recall so it was just a LAN party game for me but I still loved it. Rn im trying to finish Nightmare on a Nova Sorc deep into act 5. The Ancients just embarassing me

Yup, that’s Erwin alright!

Your options are a) find a better job somehow, b) learn to save really well, or c) work for yourself. I chose C.

For the record, Option C is also really hard. Not only do you have to do the job you’ve trained for, you have to do everyone else’s job too.
