Shipwright welder. I crawl all throughout the bowels of Navy and civilian ships with my gear in tow. I build new areas, cut out old areas, and perform repairs on hulls and pipes.

If it's local city elections, it's difficult as the line between parties gets fuzzy. Some candidates have little to no info on their policies and such.
If I can't find anything about them at all, I won't vote for them. If they're hyper religious or make it their main focus of their campaign, I won't vote for them. Other than that, it's just a coin toss.
Larger elections like stare and national are a bit easier. If they have the letter R next to their name, it's safe to assume they're insane, evil, or both. It's become the norm these days. That makes it a choice between independants and democrats. I guess it comes down to which has better policies on issues I care about.
We're going to see a whole lot of crying next week. A lot of fake persecution claims.
This, 100%.
I'm not about to tarnish my professional reputation just to spite a clueless customer.
Freelance welding on my days off. A customer wanted to hire me to make a fence gate, but he didn't have solid blueprints. He had a crude sketch drawn on a scrap of paper, but no specific measurements. I offered to come by and take measurements, but he didn't even have a fence base to take measurements off of.
Essentially, he wanted me to construct a property fence gate of unspecified size and install it to a nonexistent perimeter fence. I told him these issues, but he didn't care. He wanted me to build this fence gate, but he didn't know what size, what materials, and where to install it.
I fired him. A welder's reputation means everything. I'm not about to make a thing for a customer who doesn't actually know what he wants. I did him a favor by walking away and not taking his money.
To what end?
Is this going to be another hearing where we listen to anecdotal hear-say and metaphysical "concepts" of evidence?
Yes, because voter shaming has a long history of success 🙄
Tinkering with my 3D Printer. It's a filament printer, but after a lot of fine tuning, I'm able to print small D&D miniatures with mixed quality. It's not perfect, but it is getting closer.
Back in the day, a smartphone was a major upgrade. They continue to improve which is just amazing. I came from an age of wall phones and dial-up internet.
It's not really a tool, but I'm very careful about what I upload online. I never use my real name and I never upload identifying selfies or things that can lead to my identification.
The internet has become a nasty place full of nasty people who have no shame, online and in real life.
A 3D Printer. It replaced a lot of bad habits and it stuck for me. Plus I'm creative and I love to tinker, so it was perfect.
Right now I'm trying to use my filament printer to create quality D&D miniatures with mixed results. Fine tuning is getting closer and closer to resin print quality.

You can't go back. This isn't just a political difference of opinion, this is a full blown violent cult. We need greater funding for mental health and deprogramming services.
