Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

True. Its sad because the construction field is wide open and there just are not enough workers, zero degree required.

It sure would be nice to have more open minded, diverse people working blue collar. It's exhausting quietly listening to all these conservatives at work and feeling like I'm the only one who gives a damn.

same with public school custodial dept. i make over 20 an hour with no degree. but I'm pretty capped now because I've been here 7 years and the union isn't strong enough to leverage the QOL raises we need and deserve.

i highly prefer blue collar but I also have medical limitations and there's just not enough regulation for things like extreme heat in these physical type jobs, which has kept me from seriously considering working construction.
