It's more like licking the idols that everyone else rubs for good luck.

That's what I believe as well. It's heavy industry work, so having a level headed crew was my first concern as soon as I got the job. People have to be at their best, so I end up having a fairly friendly crew. We're the people who have to fix and repair other peoples mistakes and damages, right?

A real upgrade from the "covering my car in incomprehensible conspiracy theory signs" voting bloc.

My supervisor told me that i'm both a dream and nightmare for HR. People who start off with me tend to stay with the company longer, which is why they usually give me people who aren't straight, white males, making them look good for the company DEI intiative. But, i also tend to tell off shitheads to their face, making me have a higher hr complaint rate than other shift leads. Always like to read back the hr guidelines whenever i get called in. Also, even when i'm away at meetings, my second in command is also a bullheaded leftist, so they can't even say shit when i'm away. Win-win, i say.

Got that 15th century mindset (miasma theory).

Being a head taller than everyone is always fun. The young guys aren't allowed to let the Andrew Tate shit fly. I can out "masculine" most guys, I have the blue collar background. You work my crew, you follow my rules. Greenhorns are malleable to a point, but a hammer (ideology) is a hammer.

Everything in cars being replaced by screens. If auto manufacturers could figure out how to make the steering wheel a screen, they would. Impossible to work on those things.

Just realized that my "trying a guitar" default riff is a The Replacements deep cut that i don't think showed up on any of their albums.

Larry David would think you'd be going too far

The Israeli government policy of bombing campaigns and raids on Gaza is referred to as "mowing the lawn".
