Small Town, Blue Collar, White Collar Working, Progressive

I sometimes wonder what I would have done with my life had I had the courage to be different and less of an arrogant little shit.

You know the type- the kid that makes fun of the kids that go to shop class because they’re never going to amount to anything but lowly paid¹ unskilled workers, unlike me, an intellectual, that will be going to Harvard, getting my degree in some sort of technical field, and making bank, raking in awards, you know being smart.

I did my white collar work. I enjoy and still enjoy it. But if we’re gonna keep it a buck, working with my hands has, and always will be, my bag. Taking shit apart, building things, tools. That is what I like and who I am.

The reason I think about it so often is because of my YouTube recommendations.

I get recommended YUGOPINK alongside videos of Essential Craftsman extolling the virtues of Charlie Kirk. I also get recommended videos for perimenopausal women to help them understand why they still smell after a shower, while also getting ads for Hims if I don’t have my ad blocker on.

What the actual? I just find it funny that the algos don’t know what to make of me. Thus this possibly mistitled post.
