From Nextdoor.
I’m going to be kind and assume he’s on the piss take. Because that seems like the kind of shit I’d post.
what’s with these texts without any punctuation where everything becomes one long sentence and you have to read it three times to figure out how to read it I feel like it’s getting more common
people don’t read books any more only text messages and social media and sometimes subtitles so this is a more natural way of speaking that saves you from having to go to the other page of keys thats way to much work anyway ykwim
I approve that comment was really on point or as some of the younger people say on fleek if they say that anymore but regardless have an approval point from me it s the internet s currency after all
We can’t bust heads like we used to but we have our ways one trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days so I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time now to take the ferry cost a nickel and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them gimme five bees for a quarter you’d say Now was I Oh yeah the important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time you couldn’t get where onions because of the war the only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
just gonna put this here
Approximate transcription: “Some of you fuckers complained that I didn’t use periods in my last book. Take these ones and place them wherever you want Peace out and go to hell. [page and a half of random punctuation]”
In case you don’t know, that’s an excerpt from A Pickle for the Knowing Ones by Timothy Dexter, a man known for making terrible financial choices at the right time. For example, he sent coal to Newcastle, which arrived just after miners went on strike, so he made a fortune. His whole life is a farce.
I’ll be honest, I’m a bit jealous of his confidence.
According to my boss, it’d get him promoted
Sadly it’s more common than I’d like everywhere I’ve worked too
Has the 5 year old been drinking? Becauee I feel like a sober 5 year old would do a better job.
He’s trying to save up for a tape measure!
Carpenter square would really do a lot here. Lots of low level wood workers fail to grasp the utility of the square.
a functioning mind is all he needs. You can figure that out with a string if you need to, or a block of scrap wood and a chunk of gravel to mark it with
Or just use tools specifically made for woodworkers to get it right 100% of the time.
As well with the carpenter’s pencil. Still working to learn all the tricks with both tools.
Actually the new ones look decently square to the outside post apart from the bottom one. That old section is almost definitely not perfectly squared and it takes skill to match and blend the imperfections.
Agreed, I’d take a square and a story stick of sorts over a tape measure
He should save up for some punctuation first. Got dam.
lst class problems
I think he was trying to say he just finished his first class
And spelled it LST
He’s a carpenter, not an English teacher
Well… He tried.
