i think they are pretty good. when i am making fries at home from scratch, i always eat a few raw ones. none with the skin on though.


Woah.... I've tried it (don't know why and can't even remember how long ago it was) and it was like the starchiest bitterest thing of ever.

I can't think of a single other thing that was so inoffensive yet so inedible.

Also the texture reminded me of watercress and I hate those things specifically due to their texture.

If you are a 35+ premature balding male, you are wearing a stained shirt that doesn't necessary fits you and your hairy potbelly hangs out from underneath it, you smell, haven't shaved for days, and you are not dropping off any kids, then these officers would like to speak to you.

What if someone is all those things but they don't have a stained shirt that doesn't fit him?

The more I work white collar, the more I wonder about blue collar.


Pretty much any of the issues with white collar jobs still exist in blue collar jobs as far as the politics of the workplace and other bs. That said it does seem less common aside from manufacturing plants. Those are the worst of both worlds imo and I've worked at a few.

Relevant story - I was biking at the skate park in town and a little girl (there by herself from all appearances and the skate park is in a field away from much of anything) bailed on her scooter and was balling and had road rash so I went over to make sure she was alright and try to console her a bit.

Her mom came by after about 5 mins (I guess she'd been off down the walking trail) and acted like I was insane for not maintaining a minimum distance from her child and ignoring the fact the kid was lying on the pavement crying her face off. She didn't call me a pedo but it sure seemed implied.

We live in a world where some people actually think an adult male should just ignore a crying childs freakout cause apparently there are just that many creeps out there.

but i also mean: say your blue collar job requires you to do something relatively rote or mindless, you often have the opportunity to do something like listen to an audiobook at the same time because your mind is free. i love the daily newspaper crossword.


Definitely true. Having some music or decent talk radio or a podcast going is so much better than just the sounds of silence / equipment running.

Edit-this also applies to my job under the right circumstances though. Hence the equipment. If you're using a hammer drill you can't really listen to much but sometimes a job site is relatively quiet.

Edit-my earlier edit is solely due to misreading your post and seeing blue as white the second time around. Yeesh.

that's a good point, which makes my comment above a little ignorant as that job absolutely requires mental capacity.

i think a more accurate definition would be

white collar = office
blue collar = no office

agree?


Yep fully agree. I'd also agree on a basis of necessity/regularity of physical labour.

architects are kinda a mix of white and blue imo


Eh I feel like architects are almost totally white collar. But a carpenter running a site has to grasp everything the architect and engineer wants and be able to make it happen practically and physically.

Architects I'd call 85% white collar. A carpenter running a crew and implementing the plans and designs is about 60/40 in favour of blue Imo.

... You do realize plenty of blue collar jobs can pay 6 figures right?


Sure, but the vast majority don't.

Pointing out how much the top earners make isn't relevant to most people.


The vast majority of white collar workers don't either. So....

Besides rig pigs at the bottom can make 100k a year. Experienced construction workers (even without any tickets) can make that much as well. Underwater welders make a lot more. Any pipeline welder will make a lot more. Boilermakers can make a mint.

The average office worker makes way less than 6 figures... Not sure how this is a distinct difference for you.

pickled eggs always have a solid yoke don't they? I don't think you can pickle a softboiled egg

It could be; I've never had pickled eggs, myself.
