Some 16 year old told me he had worked a full week nonstop, so he was told he had to take the next five days off. I told him that was good.

I told him that most people will not make it in today’s economy when $150,000 is considered middle class. He replied that $150,000 is a lot of money. I said sure, but the average American salary is around $65,000.

Then I asked him what kind of work he did, and he said he did some low level blue collar welding. I told him blue collar work is terrible. He responded that welders can make over $100,000 a year.

I told him that blue collar work is for low-autism score, uneducated people and that the adults in those jobs are losers and people who messed up their lives. I also said blue collar work is fun when you’re a kid, but the adults doing it are there because they’re losers.

It turned out that three blue collar workers had been listening to our conversation and told the kid not to listen to me because I didn’t know what I was talking about.

I then told the kid that when he grows up, he will realize people look down on blue collar workers for a reason and that blue collar adults are not the kind of people he should want to know.

The blue collar workers called me ignorant, yet, from my perspective, they seemed to have chips on their shoulders and came across as unintelligent.

I wanted to talk numbers because no way most blue collar makes over $100k. Can someone fill me in?

Humanity is a meme species and I'm, quite frankly, a bit sad I had to be born as one. Would've been better if I had not been born at all.

This will cause the fall of capitalism as we know it tomorrow.

I still hold onto that hope.

So, I've had a friend getting increasingly radicalized into generic white nationalism twitter nonsense and arguing with him just seems pointless. I genuinely tried my best but every time he concedes to something, it's like his factory reset setting turned on the next day. When he admits he knows nothing about a topic it doesn't phase him, because it's clear he WANTS to hate even if he can't rationally justify it. Oftentimes he's not even really arguing with me but with his twitter strawmen or something. Yes, I did bring up economics but you have to understand this is a person that only cares about being bigoted, the culture war, etc. I'm seeing it as a lost cause and that I have to drop him as a friend, honestly.

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Your pathetic 48 hour "weekend" will be over before you know it.

The census is lying/skewed to cover it up. Not by some drastic amount, obviously.

Most women I've met are in a relationship, whereas it's pretty much 50/50 for men. Most men my age (late 20s) are single. Nothing adds up. I know there's always a population of NEETS and undesirables, but even swiping through dating apps, it's very obvious to me that there's more men. Hoeflation is a product of this.

in many cultures, there are innocent girls capable of changing the course of destiny.
My grandmother told me a story about a friend of hers who disappeared after saying she was going to fight monsters. With her disappearance, the famine that had been plaguing their region also vanished.
