  1. yeah.. it's not a problem really I just don't want to shit myself if I ever see a female black widow.. OR freak out and try to sling it off if one crawls on me somehow because that's what got me bit last time I'm pretty sure. That's why I want to raise a tarrantula from a spiderling... I honestly can hold spiders for a bit without freaking out it's just hit or miss.. sometimes I freak out when I least expect it, or if I was just around a spider then I have an itch afterwards I'll literally beat myself up trying to get something that's not even there.
  2. lol I might be dirty too. DRINK WATER
  3. lol diclops..
  4. Still on the border of completely telling this company to shove it's commission based position back where it came from I guess. I scheduled a fingerprint that's going to cost me another $40+ dollars.. I'm also anxiously awaiting or hoping for a phone call soon to go work for a super market chain. The hiring manager said if I don't get this position she'd call me back to interview me for some other areas that she supervises... so that's good I guess.
  5. I hope I get this night stocking position. I feel like I did well on the interview though he did grill me on my work history. I hope it didn't sound like I was just making excuses.. He agreed with me that the distribution center I was working for last year gets kind of "shady" on how they treat employees..to use the same terminology he did. On that note I'm actually getting unemployment from them which is very surprising.. Apparently whoever they talked to lied, and tried to say I had a dozen or so safety violations which I contested.
  6. Theyre all ok I guess. The only song I've ever really been able to jam is Bohemian Rhapsody though I'm not a big fan.
  7. I never enjoyed it really. Some of the skits, and wrestlers were entertaining in small doses I have to admit, but it always seemed like a very veiny and muscly soap opera to me.
  8. Crazy enough Ihe icing on most cakes have always seemed a little too sweet for me even as a kid. Makes me sick just looking at one sometimes.
  9. Must be putting together some kind of yakuza crossfit training program huh? I'm sure stabbing people while on a bike has to happen sometimes you know. You got a work your way up to being solid on the crotch rockets with a blade I'm sure.
  10. Meh. That's how I got my house.. or more so probably why.. because I could have and was prepared at the time to make a down payment.. the bank was just like..more or less this is the lowest payment, and best option for you probably.. Since my credit score was golden it didn't really make too much of a diff if I even went for a conventional loan.. They were trying to sell me a house fucking hard though. I'm taking that post with a grain of salt though because I doubt you're really getting that many perks with your "military bank account". It's probably about as military as your hottie is.. I'm not trying to be rude, but it didn't look too military if I'm thinking about the right one.
  11. Here's the indeed reviews.. Notice that this company is one that always chimes in on it's customer/contractor reviews with some snobby ass corporate shit. Another red flag I guess? Oh well at least this course has provided me with an in depth look at how insurance all together is just a shady ass form of banking.. Lots of food for thought. Thanks guys. https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Platinum-Supplemental-Insurance/reviews
  12. Fuck no.. I mean it's hard to say the companies bad because of any of the complaints I've read so far, but like I said.. Insurance in general has always seemed like a racket to me. Would I sell my soul if I knew I'd bank though?? I'll get back to you on that.. This is what I'm looking at. https://www.bbb.org/us/ia/dubuque/profile/insurance-services-office/platinum-supplemental-insurance-inc-0664-29001173/complaints Thanks, @Sandstone I've been spending too much time learning the insurance legal by laws etc in this $60 dollar course I already paid for non-refundable to look that up... and everything so far has only reinforced the idea in my head that insurance in general is a fucking racket.
  13. Seems like a dangerous occupation to me. MAybe some sort of camming entity that doesn't require you to interact with people.. I've...known plenty of strippers I guess, and don't take that the wrong way because I've only been to a strip club a few times in my whole life.. but if you're socially awkward, and you don't like people touching you.. def. not for you.
  14. I'm glad you brought this up. Supposingly the BBB holds them in high regard from other information I've recieved. I'm reading some complaints now though.
  15. Yeah.. I'm familiar with how that works. Like I said I have an interview with the only supermarket chain that services this town tomorrow.. The hiring manager I was talking to seemed pretty freakin cool.. because I came in for an interview for "market cleaan up".. It was what I thought.. *meat market clean up, and she like wrote out all the positions she had to fill, and I just told her I'll do whatever pays the most lol.. Nightstocking interview tomorrow.. I didn't tell the insurance company manager this.. but she has to know by now I have other options, and actually the people I've talked to so far from the company have mentioned that... "You can always get a 9 To 5.. This for people that aspire for more because you arent going to make 6 figures working your typical $10 an hour job.. Fuck that.. I feel greatful that I can even make a $10 an hour job work at this point. I came from dirt... I had nothing when I became a legal adult..and I've had to..well helped so much of my friends, and family that's had struggles all without that fucking snake oil salesman tactic I feel like I'm getting. Of course on the other side growing up so poor has solidified the idea in my head that pretty much all salesman ARE snake oil salesman..It seems you guys all think it's a too good to be true thing like I do. I appreciate all the different insights none the less!
  16. I really don't know if I have the self confidence.. That's what the hiring manager had to say about my "reservations", but excuse me if this is crass, but I'm pretty sure that bitch has some kind of guaranteed income. Not something I bring up when talking to a hiring manager of course.. but meh.
  17. That's what I've already brought up to them.. Even my cable tech job was hybrid pay, the scale actually wasn't bad, and disregarding the considerable wear, and tear that put on my truck, it wasn't a bad job.. That company reinbursed me for at least one tank of gas a month though, AND I didn't have to go outside of my home town.. I probably should have in heinsight, but I didn't. I don't get reinbursed for hotel or ANY travel expenses for this.. according to the older gentleman that came by to encourage me to "just give it a try" I can write off all those expenses, and there's a legitimate way to do more than offset the hotel expenses on your taxes.. What he said sounded legit to I just forgot what it was because I've never had to write off hotel expenses before.
  18. Yeah if I was more well to do.. Like I already had a brand new vehicle, and I didn't have a mortgage, and a personal loan to deal with I'd feel better. The company and other reps have only said that's all the more reason to do this..which is...just propaganda if you ask me. They seem confident, and I've seen the stats of the company and the team I'd be on as a whole.. All people; some of them younger than me that have probably made more money in a week than I have probably if those numbers are accurate.. not counting government job bonuses, and benefits I've had/have so.. idk.
  19. I believe you'd be surprised what people try to pull at walmart, and I mean I guess I gotta use the term "people" lightly. I believe there's an entire subreddit etc. dedicated to the "people" of walmart anyway.. Not to be confused with your everyday customer ofcourse..
  20. I need to try them out I guess if they're really that comfortable.
  21. Eh I've never worn crocs, I prefer just shoes or some sort of boot for outdoors though. Theyre good for beaches or fishing/boating maybe, but I've never felt the need to own a pair of crocs.
  22. I can't do flip flops unless I'm at home anyway. I hate the sound they make more than anything. I prefer fluffy house-shoes. I have some fluffy deadpool houseshoes I wear right now.
