Fun fact, this is like one of the only ways you can permanently lose mail delivery… although it’s admittedly rare. I think the carrier has to start the complaint.
Why do you expect to be reward for being a good person? That’s just the baseline everyone should meet.
You will never get financially ahead of everyone else by being a good worker bee. Sorry your parents and teachers lied to you. Doing well in school and getting a degree is not a pathway to riches. The vast majority of people who went from rags to riches went off the beaten path and took a massive risk.
Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor’s recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings. When I moved out of my small town a couple years ago, I learned that real life is a lot like online forums. You have to lurk before you can post. Learn the language, the local etiquette and taboos. Watch the people in your neighborhood, their interactions. Blend into the background, and observe. Talk little, hear and see much.
Totally agree, although I would say “… the vast majority of people who went from rags to riches were self-obsessed assholes at at least one part of their life”.
This was a movie that I’d seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.
Until I heard Tech N9ne’s Everybody Move and he said “Falling Down like Michael Douglas” and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.
Yeahhhh. It’s frustrating that it exists. Obvious bias to a comical extreme. Some fun (frustrating?) articles are about evolution, Barracks Houssein Obama (yes they have the middle name emphasized), and atheism
Sadly enough, I’ve only looked for a few seconds and already found a similar edit to this exact page. At the very least you’ve got some good patriotic brainwashing going on.
