Torture. Surveillance. Interfering in elections. Extrajudicial assassinations on foreign soil. Drug smuggling. Pedophile sex tourism. Kidnapping. Extortion. Murder. Gun running. Selling arms to terrorists. Economic warfare. Cultural warfare. Chemical warfare. Nuclear warfare. Western indoctrination. Threatening the use of nuclear and chemical weapons. The list goes on and on. Trump acknowledges this, continues to do it, and doesn't apologize for it. At least he's honest about it. That's why Clinton came out as fake too. She couldn't admit to mistakes. She was oh so perfect a leader with a perfect track record. Well guess what, perfect track records don't always make good leaders. You learn from mistakes. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace This is just plain wrong. An established business gets better prices and can afford equipment that small teams cannot.

Genuinely I don't think you knew what a contractor was at the start of this discussion. Goodbye loser
Cash4Gold is an established business. The fake it till you make it premise of the thread is valid as such. Some idiot will trust you with their gold if you dress up in a nice suit. Even though it weighed 20g on the scale and you tell them its 5g. If they dispute you'll give them price for 15g. That's the way cash4gold works. That's the way most businessmen in fancy suits work. And hell it seems to be working for quite a few of them. Recognize the scam, play people for it. Same as going to Africa in a fancy suit to a village where they rarely see white people and promising them lots of infrastructure. The suit is part of the con. -

Stop moving the goal posts.
I never moved the goal post. The thread is about dressing cool. You were saying you can't go wrong with a business suit when it comes to applying for work. I say wearing a business suit isn't cool in certain circumstances. You placed the goal post narrowly.
Back on topic. There are certain jobs and work, which when you apply for, where it is not cool to wear a business suit.
Originally posted by too.dark.to.see That's a really small business competing for owner-occupier residential work.
That is completely unrelated to the topic.
Nope. Topic is dressing cool. Topic isn't how to dress for wall street success. -

2020-01-05 at 8:19 PM UTC in Being coolExactly. You hire one of those lone carpenter guys who comes in and does it with two of his buddies. There is no way a business man can do it cheaper. Because the business man also needs to get paid! You're paying the business man to refer you to the carpenter instead of going directly to the carpenter himself. If you're stupid enough to hire a man in a suit to do your dirty work, by all means go ahead.
Townhouse complex, high rises etc, if you're bidding on flooring etc. for those projects, the office will be on site. Those sites are subject to regular inspections by worksafe. They will not allow you to enter the site without wearing a hardhat, vest, and steel toed boots. Once you're in the office you may take it off. There's a time and place for suits. Construction industry isn't one of them. Besides, I've always been skeptical to the intentions of people who wear suits and so are general contractors. -

2020-01-05 at 7:54 PM UTC in Being coolIn most townhouse projects etc, to get to the office to bid on jobs, you need to wear PPE. Coming in walmart bare minimum PPE to bid on a job where you'll be working the next year is not impressive. Dress to the role you will be doing. I'm not going to hire a business man to build my house, I will hire a carpenter. Business man is in the money making business. Carpenter is in the house building business.
I wish more people knew to skip the middle men in society. Bunch of leeches dressing up in fancy suits demanding society supports their ought-to-be criminal lifestyles. -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood Making lots of money isn't everything. Most people regret wasting their lives doing the same thing and being stuck in an industry just because it was what they were familiar with. Those are the kinds of people like boomers that had to all be retrained to use computers at the start of 2010s and are still struggling to catch up.
Because when you just do something easy, something you have success with in the past you tend to follow that path. Like oh I used to do construction in highschool and now I own a construction company. And then the person turns 50 and realized they actually fucking hate construction and wasted their entire life doing it never seeking out new opportunities and experiences.
If you are happy doing what you do than thats good, that should be more important than just money.
That's where I'm currently headed, and I don't like it. Problem is cost of living is too high. Construction drains all your energy. Once you get in, getting out isn't easy. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace Lol that is not how construction jobs are bid on. And it's pretty much assumed you WON'T be doing the work, wtf? It's not like construction workers themselves are bidding. It's the contractors, sales reps, and owners. If you show up you just show up in what you wear everyday.
That depends on the size and scale. Business suits will not do you much good in construction related small businesses. If I'm a general contractor looking for someone to install my flooring and doors, I'm going to hire a contractor, not a business man. So dress like a contractor. -

Originally posted by too.dark.to.see You need to show your professionalism.
People fail to get hired due to piercings and tattoos.
I don't know how this can be argued.
All about target audience. Those piercings and tattoos may help you get a job at a weed dispensary or tattoo parlour. Not to mention starbucks only seems to hire people with tats. You'd be more succesful showing up in construction attire for a construction job contract then you will a suit. Go in a suit to a construction site and bid on a job, they'll think you'll be doing none of the actual work. Show up in a nice pair of sturdy jeans, 100$ hardhat, 150$ vest, showup in a nice new pickup etc. is the suit equivalent in the construction industry.
Know your audience, that's all. Some people will look at you stupid for wearing a suit, it's not appropriate everywhere. -

2020-01-05 at 6:28 PM UTC in Being coolIf you'll be working in a suit, fine as you're showing off your work attire. Like showing up to the McDonalds interview in a McDonalds uniform. Not to mention, you look like a tool buying a 1000$ suit to a job interview that pays 20$ - 30$ an hour. Going with a 200$ suit you'll just be looking like you've got a court date. It's a fail-fail situation.

Originally posted by -SpectraL Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the Islamic Republic of Iran face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.

If you look closer at the article,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Iran#Sodomy
It's extremely vague with no good citations. Truth is we have no clue what's happening in Iran. In any case it doesn't appear like they've got death squads hunting gays as is so commonly claimed. That is Saudi territory. Iran is a much more progressive country.
