Same goes for handyman or carpenter.

This is so worth it. Also delicious.

Wolverine because it is basically a giant mean badger.

I think you should ask men to smile more (like at the grocery store or gym) and see how it goes. 😉

No, very few people would continue with their jobs if they didn’t have to. But there are varying degrees of terrible. Some people opt to start their own yardcare businesses (the work still sux, but you are the boss). For others, changing employers can improve some things. I just wanted to point out that there are options - even if imperfect.

Even people who like their jobs need a break. I WFH, so I don’t do this exactly, but I do leave my desk and go somewhere else to give my brain a break.

Side note: you don’t have to stay at a job you dislike - you can look for another one. Even if you dislike the next one, it will be different!

Just choose any of these things and participate with him. You could take him to a bookstore or library if he likes reading. Learn to cook steaks together (or teach him). Play Minecraft together. Have him show you how to knit (or take him to the store for knitting supplies). Watch YouTube tutorials on something he likes.

I get it, I have a kiddo that is super into in ground sprinkler systems and space heaters. Sometimes it is hard to find a way to participate.

So I know it is just semantics, but for some reason I don’t label your description as a “woke mob” but rather just decent humans.

Yet, I do have an image of “woke mob” that is full of college-aged people who haven’t experienced any adversity, but have a desire to make a mark on the world and have chosen a really irritating way to do it. And unfortunately that very small segment of the population gives the right something to latch onto that demonstrates how unhinged the left is (even though the left is how you describe it).
