Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

CIJS,

I honestly hope I don't have a job there soon.

Am I intentionally self sabatoging, you betcha. It's the natural thing to do in such an environment.

[Joods]

CIJS...

Chorus -
One. Don't pick up the phone. You know he's only calling cuz he's drunk and alone.

Two. Don't let him in, you'll have to kick him out again.

Three. Don't be his friend. You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning. And if you're under him, you ain't gettin over him.

QFT.

JBH: You got me a Jordan Peterson book? What exactly is wrong with you? I don't even want to give this to a charity shop.

Hang on, this guy is an extremely smart man. I have felt like punching his head in a few times, but I have also found a few real gems.
One thing he said was this - that you should listen to people with an expectation that they might know something that you don't, especially those you disagree with as they may be able to shine a light in your blind spot.
Give the book a read, you're smart enough to not get sucked into ideologies you disagree with and you might learn something you didn't know.

Incidently, I feel exactly the same way about Ben Shapiro.

I know not a lot of people agree with me but it infuriates me that waitress/waiters hide their tips so they don't have to be taxed on them. I have to report every dollar I make so should they.

Social revolution: have waiters and the like earn a decent pay and make tips a thing of the past.
Inequalities brought on due to the tipping system will disappear.

Oh I'm all about that but I've met too many waiters that make a shit ton in tips more than they would if they were working min wage so they don't want things to change. Without their support it will never change.

Suppose people don't tip them, so they don't make a shit ton in tips?
Would you get their support then?

Then they whine that they make their living like that and we are taking food from their mouths. It's like you can't help those that don't want to be helped. It's just annoying that they don't want to be helped but then bitch about it. I'm in a spat with a bar tender right now over this. She is actually pushing for people to share a post that says don't tip your waiter "gift" them money so they don't have to claim it on taxes.

My guess is that anything "smart" that comes out of his mouth is an idea he has stolen from somebody else.

When you see him have a conversation with someone who actually is smart, he quickly shows himself to be a complete moron.

Or maybe I just have high standards

CIJS- it’s emotionally exhausting to send my kids to school every day praying to all the gods I don’t believe in that nothing bad will happen to them. Some days I just break down and cry. I don’t know how normal people deal with this. Seems like most people don’t even find it terrifying but I do.
