I quoted Carlyle on the job site and they called me a fag
>>24677240What job are you working
>>24677240serves you right
Fuck did you expect? A blowjob in the porta potties?
>>24677240post feet
>>24677256It's a holding pen for illegals.
>>24677240>Carlyledeserved
OP was.. quoting Carlyle
Fortuna’s wheel... a metaphor no longer. It’s here, deflated, mocking me in tread and valve stem. She clearyl has aligned with the modern rubber industry in a cabal against my forward momentum.
This thread would have killed 5 years ago
>>24677240Call them knuckle dragging retards. You just have to return the banter, nobody actually gives a shit.
>>24677240Its a blue collar job, theyre just giving you banter. Youll figure out eventually that they dont actually give a shit.
I'm really loving the soft handed trannies giving me advice over my shitposts.
>>24677240Try some Edmund Burke next time
>>24677240post timestamp, dumbass
>>24677644>he thinks trannies have soft handsI've seen a tranny rip the rivets out of an i-beam. I've seen trannies bend rebar into cat emojis. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
>>24677676Pens in the truck, faggot. Is it unbelievable someone from lit has a job?
>>24677340underrated
>>24677678Kek
construction worker reading Carlyle? wtf, why don't you get a real job? did you go to college?
>>24677678That's gotta be rare, most of them are failed soft boys.
>>24678375>wtf, why don't you get a real job?Oh yes, he is deeply qualified for a "real job" on the basis of having read Thomas Carlyle. I can just see it now:>Anonymous walks into the bank manager's office, his starched suit and cocky stride proof against those would have otherwise turned him back, and upon his sudden appearance before the eminent man of the establishment declaims his intent for employment. Incredulous, the elderly man at the desk demands to know young Anonymous's credentials, and so the young man puts down on the desk a well-thumbed and annotated copy of Sartor Restartus. What more need be said? He was hired, forthwith.
>>24678406when i lived in manhattan in the nineties you have no idea how jacked the trannies youd see in gangs late at night were
>>24677240My gramps was a miner and they were heavy into poetry. Not every working man is a dullard. Shit ton of them died down in the dark as well maybe that put them in a philosophical mood.
>>24678375I haven't had a year where I earned less than 90k since the pandemic. And no, I'm poor white trash with am 8th grade education. I just read alot.>>24678443Accurate
>>24678452reminds one of that 'ython skit
>>24677240lol. I once had an employer who called me a faggot because I had "literature and piano" in the personal interests section of my resume.
working in construction as somebody who reads is such a pain in the ass because almost all of your jokes, even basic jokes, fly right over their heads
>>24677752Do you get to smoke while working? I had a roommate who framed houses and that was one of the things he absolutely loved about work.
>>24677240How do I get a job in construction if I don't have any experience, literarily speaking?
>>24677340LMAO
>>24677266kys
>>24679786being among tradies, construction workers and factory niggas really reminds you how spiritually and intellectually poor most people are. obviously they have some practical wisdom that I do not, but godamn these dudes will literally not stop talking about cars and sports.
>>24677340kek
>>24677240Wasn’t Carlyle’s whole philosophy to be a submissive cuck to your masters? No wonder your coworkers thought you were a fag.
>>24677240Quote them this passage, I'm sure it'll change their minds:>I will venture to believe that in no time, since the beginnings of Society, was the lot of those same dumb millions of toilers so entirely unbearable as it is even in the days now passing over us. It is not to die, or even to die of hunger, that makes a man wretched; many men have died; all men must die,—the last exit of us all is in a Fire-Chariot of Pain. But it is to live miserable we know not why; to work sore and yet gain nothing; to be heart-worn, weary, yet isolated, unrelated, girt in with a cold universal Laissez-faire: it is to die slowly all our life long, imprisoned in a deaf, dead, Infinite Injustice, as in the accursed iron belly of a Phalaris' Bull! This is and remains forever intolerable to all men whom God has made. Do we wonder at French Revolutions, Chartisms, Revolts of Three Days? The times, if we will consider them, are really unexampled.
>>24679862It do be like that. It's something a person cannot understand until they experience it first hand.
>>24679845Of course. You can smoke crack on the job if you like.
>>24679949No, but he definitely thought some men were more suited to lead than others. He wasn't exactly a bootlicker, being a Scot who was highly critical of the British ruling class. Faggot.
>>24680098Anon...No one on your job site (or OP's) knows who Carlyle even is, unless of course it's a hypothetical job site. But if the job site is hypothetical, then what you are is called a 'masochist'. I only refrain from calling you 'faggot' therefore because it appears to be what you (or OP) want
>>24680186Do you really think I was quoting Thomas Carlyle to Mexicans who aren't even literate in their own mother tongue, you absolute retard?
>>24680207This board is full of autistics who take everything literally, anon
>>24677240>I quoted CarlyleHoly shit what a fag
>>24677240So....what was the quote?
>>24680250"Reply to this post or your mother dies in her sleep tonight"
>>24677752>Is it unbelievable someone from lit has a job?Yes
>>24680254ahhhhhhhhhh
>>24677496>Call them knuckle dragging retards.Gay bant lmao never say that.
>>24680257anom is making 90k per anum, too. meanwhile i'm stuck working retail with a masters degree, unable to find work in my field. i hate this country. :(
>>24680264I'll probably make closer to 120 this year, but I need to buy a $40,000 piece of equipment.
>>24680254That doesn't sound like Carlyle's classic style to me.
>>24679855Know a guy. This is the best way to get a job in anything really. Once you have a foot in you’ve got that precious work experience they all want, doesn’t matter how unqualified or stupid you were getting into it.
>>24680320Not as bad as, but reminds me of farmer gross vs net. They are rolling in money if you just look at the gross. Massive subsidies, giant incomes! And then the expenditures piss it all away and they’re actually 20 mil in debt because of some John Deere piece of shit equipment they had to have and that locks itself up intermittently.
>>24680453The machine will allow me to run another crew and nearly double my income, in theory. I always include any machinery I need to rent in the bid. I actually don't have many expenses aside from insurance, workman's comp.
>>24678559>Smart enough to read a book>drops outPor que>>24677340lal
>>24680207Gee, anon, what do (you) think? That you're unable to read sadly comes as no surprise
>>24677240You deserved it. Based retards.
>>24680254yep, definitely a fag
>>24679957sending this to my wagie friends first thing monday morning
