Like I said, I'm not an idiot who thinks he has answers. I'm just a cluster**** of a human being who hasn't the slightest clue how to become functional after decades of supposed evidence that I can't be functional.

For as long as I can remember my view of my future has been that I'll become homeless and/or eat a bullet. I'm just killing time atm.

I think Plankton is talking sense. I know you enjoy the booze but at least give being sober a shot, Charles.

Maybe just thirty days at first, do something with your sober weekends.

It will improve your mood dramatically. You'll also lose fat. Maybe you could use the spare cash and time to acquire an elite physique?

Just a suggestion. But if you do decide to try stopping the booze PM me anytime mate.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing with any of you. I don't actually need to be convinced that booze is bad for me and that I'm on the fast track to self-destruction. I'm well aware and think about it constantly. Knowing this isn't the problem. Caring is the problem. I don't. I know this is irrational, but I don't care about that either, at least not in a transformative way. This is not about realizing anything, this is about irrational indifference and how forcing myself to do anything about it would require caring. Which I don't.

All the advice in the world is meaningless and tbh if I actually did care then I probably would be trying to minimize my bull**** and argue with you people because I would be emotionally invested in proving myself right so that I wouldn't feel the need to change, but I don't care and so it's no skin off my nose if I openly accept all of this because it will not force me to change my ways because nothing seems to do that anyway.

She did slip in 1 negro and 1 whitey, but the rest were exclusively Mexicans who illegally immigrated to the U.S.

Also, who made up the rules as to which jobs deserve tips and which don't?

Food servers, bell boys, valets, car detailers, barbers. But fuck a cashier, doctor, movie theater workers, retail associates, etc.?

Yes it is arbitrary, but wait staff are literally paid below minimum wage because they are expected to receive tips. Like, two dollars an hour. Two ****ing dollars an hour. Tip them or else you are essentially stealing from them.

But why don't restaurants just pay their workers a living wage instead of relying on tips? I've heard that in Europe that the tip is automatically built into the menu prices. Why not just do that? Same difference.

EDIT: And if restaurants workers don't make minimum wage, doesn't the owner make up the difference? Also, don't most food workers not report their tips, thus getting them tax free?

Hey man stand up for my tips or I'll pee in your soda.

Dude, stop being a cheap ****. Restaurants don't pay their workers a living wage because they aren't required to so stop being a bitch and just front five extra bucks. If you're so poor you can't do that then just come to Burger King and make our life miserable cause no one will care.
