    It's almost forgivable that this assclown can't anticipate workplace accidents. You would first have to GET A FUCKING JOB for it to be a possibility.

    Man @Uncle Albert would have no sympathy for Worf with all the workplace accidents he had on TNG.

    once again, UA provides a better argument for what I'm saying rather than his own delusions of... well, whatever the fuck it is he thinks he's proving.

    Your argument is the self-serving insistance that anyone who manages to be less of a derelict wretch than you and your peers has lived a life of ease, that anyone who refuses to wallow in self pity has never faced adversity. You base it on nothing but your own presumptive arrogance that one kind of experience only yields one kind of demeanor.

    You are full of shit, but rather than addressing that you will now proudly display your grade five reading comprehension.

    yet here you are, wretched as they come.

    not sure where you get derelict from when referring to me? got anything to base that on or are you once again fronting for your own failure to make anything of yourself in life?

    To a point. Historically speaking, if you were born a serf or in the wrong caste in India (which the British loved to enforce), you were pretty much fucked.

    This should be everyone's motto, so no argument there.

    This is one of the main problems I see with democracy. A large portion of the people who vote are not exposed to what can happen to them, so they think they are above it despite really being lucky, or just existing before difficulty will give them a huge awakening. Even as a person who has done live in non-licensed care for a number of people ijn varying different disabled conditions has been surprised at how living with a disability can be very different from knowing about living with disabilities.

    Even when I went real easy on the whole you could just do it if you tried shit that healthy and entitled people love to spew, I still was not prepared for how really wrong I was about what was going on with people who were disabled or poor. Maybe in a time where resources are actually slim, or in a place where that happens, then you can work on the pull yourself up bullshit people like UA spit, but first world society ends up being beyond that, and we could easily pull some of the wasteful bullshit from the UA's of the world and do more for those who need it.

    Self lifting by the bootstraps is physically impossible.
    You'd be levitating, like a magic trick in a cartoon.
    It even used to mean to do an impossible thing.
    How the "a man is an island" motherfuckers twisted it into something not only possible, but default normal boggles the mind.
    Probably one of those gradual "I couldn't care less" mutations.

    cue UA, who has lived a very entitled life, telling us all how you are wrong because he was able to lift himself up by the bootstraps to the lofty level of welder in the middle of nowhere who has never done anything that has effected anyone in a positive way.


    OK, except @Jenee but she is a stanksucker and there is a lot of INCEL island stank to go around as far as I can see so she wasn't going to starve to death or anything like that.

    Attacking a metaphor in literal terms is a brilliant, totally honest and good faith tactic.

    I'm seeing a trend of complaining about having bad luck/never getting a break. Here's the thing: You can make a lot of your luck. If you spend less time complaining about how nothing good ever happens to you and more time going out and making good things happen, you'll have more good luck. If you just sit and let bad things happen and then just say "oh well, it isn't my fault; I have bad luck," you're going to have bad luck.

    That is great coming from entitled white boi. It really misses the point when things are stacked against you due to skin color, gender, or sexual preference.

    Fine. A drug addict made mistakes and must pay for them.

    What about the person who isn’t a drug addict, but due to the circumstances of his/her birth, he doesn’t have bootstraps. Does s/he not deserve help?

    You make an excellent point. I'll bet Oprah Winfrey could be as rich, successful, and powerful as Diacanu and Spaceturkey if only she'd been born a white male. :marathon:

    You are just bringing back that old school dayton stupid. Due to your sorted history I will put you up there with UA and FF for the 2024 dayton3 award. You can be the RFK to their Biden and Trump.

    Well. How about that?
    UA doesn't ignore Tererun after all.
    That means he's seeing all the cum, and balls, and cum balls.
    It goes into his eyes, and into his brain, and ruins him like smoking for the lungs.
    Good to know. I'll certainly sleep better tonight.
