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

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.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit jealous of his confidence.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 21 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

According to my boss, it'd get him promoted

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

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.

I think he was trying to say he just finished his first class

He's a carpenter, not an English teacher

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Well... He tried.
