He doesn’t have to be a cheerleader; he’s on the ****ing team.

I'd personally rather be a champagne socialist than a struggling one.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

but ya'll don't really know **** about what I come from

my grandparents are mostly dead but were criminals and alcoholics

You can correct me if I get something wrong that's just how you come across to me.

I dunno I have cousins that grew up middle class and ended up suicidal etc. The judgmental side of me just looks at them as weak. But I'm sure life can be **** in the suburbs but it's defintely ****tier in the hood.

There are people who wont be happy no matter how much money they have. Then there are people who are good spirited despite being broke. But regardless of the case, it's always better to have money. That's why I'm still holding out hope that I can get out of the broke camp.

I grew up learning to never ask for anything because you'd be guilted very hard

my parents liked to remind us how much it sucked to have kids, probably because it really did
I guess it was a combination of the sorta obvious peacocking you do with the whole disaffected punk image combined with comments like you rejected your parents lifestyle. Or one time you said something like it really hurts the angle of being poor (I think with regard to picking up girls) when they find out your parents live in a mansion. That's what gives me that impression.

If you're actually hungry you'll chase a meal.

Nah been sneaking them

And if I recall you did a wharehouse gig

I worked at a distribution center for years and I've worked wharehouses too.

This is a factory/plant job. Different from a wharehouse.

Not only that, each factory/wharehouse) whatever is totally different. I've worked more jobs than I can count at this point. So I can tell you.. working one single wharehouse job doesn't tell you much. It's a literal dice roll how ****ty the job is gonna be, what the bosses are like, how much they enforce the rules, what the pay/schedule is like etc

I don't think I'll keep this job long term but that's mainly cause of the hours. But I sure as **** wouldn't leave it to work at a gas station.

I'm not just being a dick either... I've worked retail, food, etc. I know the minimum wage hustle. Sincerely **** that ****. I can make more in a week here than I made in those kinds of jobs in 3 weeks. And the managers at those kinds of places are such deadbeat losers. And then the customers...

It's all about just keep rolling the dice and see what you find. Otherwise you just get roped in to whatever **** job you currently have and become a lifer.
