When you read a novel do you just ignore the words and make up your own story while you “read”?

No, Kiiii, you were being passive aggressive. Your little dance might work on your coworkers at UPS, but most here can see right through you, even if you can't. Quit fronting and own what you believe in.

Probably better to quit cigs first though.

Yes, I believe in the fact that you can donate to charity and still live a fun and exciting life by purchasing things I like and not feeling guilty about it because I work hard for it. That's apparently a foreign concept here.

I won't feel guilty for doing what I can for others and also taking care of myself. You can say that's ****ty. I'm just one person.

Your guys's idea of not being selfish is sitting in an empty room and always donating money. That's straight up bs and you all know it.

The point is youre prioritizing luxury over human life by not giving every spare dollar to a charity. If everyone donated their extra non essential money there wouldnt be starving kids in Africa. Helping others in need is more moral than spending it on youre personal luxury after your basic human needs are met.

I'm done in here. I've nothing more to say. I'm a dick. Fine. But I'm not gonna stop enjoying my life because you guys think I'm selfish for doing so. I give back all the time. But if I'm selfish, well, idgaf. Y'all are people I'll never meet so oh well I guess.
