@Morrigan_Astro If I ask someone to dinner, I expect to pay for it. If this is the kind of thing she spends her time thinking about, it's a huge red flag.

If a man can’t afford / is stingy about buying you one steak dinner … he has zero business putting a baby in you… I said what I said. It’s not about the money. It’s way deeper than that. My German grandpa would be rolling in his grave right now at you pickmeisha girlies and you dusties … He said the exact same thing. He said “ A man that can’t afford your meal has zero business being in your presence!” Can you imagine all the other terrible issues down the road to come if he is like this already ? This also applies if he can afford it and buys a date or first few yet is entitled about it, throws it in your face, complains about it ETC.

@kiethwallace6 @prophecy__13 @clownworld Can a fantasy for the feebleminded be broken?

@EvanderSolum @s_watka @lporiginalg You've obviously never had a real job if you think it's simply a matter of 'staying a bit longer'. When a job requires you to use your brain, it's not something that can be turned on and off at will. And those jobs are usually salary. You don't have the luxury of clocking out.

@LibertyCappy Unreasonable expectations. Life sucks for most people, most of the time. Unfortunately, our generation was raised to believe all they needed to do was 'work hard', and that would get them a house, a car, a spouse, 2.5 kids, and a dog. That is an exceptional standard of living.

@PicturesFoIder I don't have a cell phone. Will the company provide one?

what would you do?

@s_watka @lporiginalg Manual labor is not that bad. It is way less stressful than the type of professional jobs we have today. If I could work in a factory and make enough money to buy a house and a car, I would.

@lporiginalg 5x harder? Most of your grandfathers were working in factories, on fields, constructions, in mines...all kinds of manual labour. Could not see their wives, kids. You play v games, doing work from home, and don't feel like going to pick up food someone else cooked for you.

@CalltoActivism Americans think they live in a meritocracy, so guys like this are often judged harshly. Many would say he deserves to be a drifter because he didn't work hard enough. Life and economics are complicated. It's good to remind ourselves that people are more than their circumstances.

“This is Jesse, he is a drifter who lives near the bridge in my area. He owns nothing but a bike, a bird and a bag of about 10 items! Yesterday, while I was riding my bike down around the beach – which is about 3 miles from my house – I got a flat tire. I had no choice but to turn around and wheel my bike the long walk home. A few people rode past and didn’t really pay me any attention and I didn’t expect them too, but as I started walking, headphones in my ears, I noticed the homeless guy from under the bridge saying something to me. At first I thought he was going to ask me for something so I popped my headphones out and asked him what he wanted? He then replied “I don’t want anything- but I’ve got a new tube in my bag and you can have it if ya want!” Shocked at first I said no thanks but he insisted. So I walked over to his little clearing where he had his things and his pet bird sat in a busted cage. He opened up his empty bag and gave me the tube (which was one of the very few things he had) helped me change the tire, even pumped it up! I asked him how I could pay him back and he said to me “don’t worry about it, this is what it’s all about!” The enormity of his situation and the fact that he went out of his way to help me was so humbling, I mean this guy was willing to give me his stuff and didn’t want anything in return. To you and I, a bike tube would probably not mean much but to a guy with so little this item must hold enormous value! I could go on and on about how selfless this guy was to give me, a total stranger, clearly in a much better position than him some of his possessions, while people like us are so selfishly attached to all our useless crap. Anyway I just wanted to show you a pic of Jesse with his new Versace lenses, some fresh Sneakers, a full belly and a cold beer… Felt good to do something for him. I also went up to our local fast food chain and got him a couple weeks worth of food and some seed for his bird… Man he was ecstatic even had tears in his eyes and couldn’t thank me enough, but amidst me sitting there proud of my good deed, and him singing me praises, I suddenly felt pretty bad because the truth is if he didn’t go out of his way to help me, I wouldn’t of done anything for him. I ride past this guy all the time and never even think twice! Really knocked me off my high horse! Even tho we sit around with all our materialistic needs and pass judgment, this dude has something that none of us can buy! I guess what I’m trying to say is thanks for the lesson in humanity champ!” Credit: Tony Biggs

@The_Hellenist What do we get in return for financially ruining ourselves, giving up all of our free time, and sacrificing our peace of mind?

White men have an urgent duty to impregnate as many white women as possible. Marriage is no longer mandatory. Just make sure the women carry the babies to term and do not smoke or drink while they are pregnant.

@RoKhanna This will only make things more expensive and increase poor people's dependence on the government. You are assuming capitalism is the problem, but we don't even have capitalism! End privileges and bailouts for large corps. Enforce antitrust laws. Let people help themselves.

Credit card debt has surpassed $1 trillion in the US, an all-time high. The cost of living is forcing many to pay for household expenses on credit. This is why we need to cap credit card interest rates, end medical debt, have universal childcare, and affordable housing. The working class is still hurting.

@JoJoFromJerz Biden used this tragedy as an opportunity to promote himself. It only seems fair to criticize him for it.

To every Republican asshole out there who used this tragedy as an opportunity to attack President Biden, watch this… and then kindly take your manufactured outrage stoking and shove it where sun don’t shine.

@trizzy_________ @NabilAh01305291 @wydccalamity @EverythingOOC It's a perfect example of the disconnect between hard work and success. Teachers are paid based on seniority and not performance.

@NabilAh01305291 @captainbelis @wydccalamity @EverythingOOC Teaching is extremely hard work. Doing it for 30k a year is even harder. Having to pay for your own school supplies because lack of school funding. They make a sacrifice in this country

Which lies were you told?

@dieworkwear A PhD is pretty good, but it's not what it used to be. Congrats, now you can earn 10% more than Uber drivers and McDonald's managers

man, i hope that's not the "real world" for most people. people in your family should go nuts when you achieve big things

@_spirit_coder @EverythingOOC When I got my bachelor's degree, I still made more driving for Uber than my "professional" day job paid.

@wydccalamity @EverythingOOC That was probably the most damaging propaganda statement society parroted to children for decades. Success is complex, and this ignores all of the other known and unknown factors.

@EverythingOOC “You’ll be successful if you work hard”

@EverythingOOC "In college, late work will not be accepted" 🤡 and many other statements about how hard college is and how high the standards are. It was a joke, just like highschool

@ShitpostGate Hoppe's #9 is the best cologne. It wreaks hell on my clothes tho

@shoe0nhead Women like to dig up the past. Men just want to dig a hole for the fun of it

is the cure to male loneliness simply digging a hole?

@stqnerTTV @InternetH0F Did it help with the headache or not??
