I agree, too many times people feel entitled due to their age. You don't owe anyone anything. Congrats on the souvenir and the story you will be able to tell your friends and family.

Any job that serves a societal need is respectable.

In Finland, speeding tickets are income based. Just as an example.

So agree! I love all my stuffies!

Greed and narcissism... it's sad, but it's human nature. The majority of the people out there are fake as heck, and will do things like posting videos of themselves crying on the internet as PR moves, to help promote and enhance their brands, to help them gain those clicks, likes, follows, and subscribes. Even more sad is that there ARE the odd few out there who honestly have no one and no where else to turn to, and are using the internet to reach out. But those odd genuine few are usually buried and overshadowed by all the loud popular influencers out there, with their TikToks and viral videos and their memes.

Harassment is the right word. What happened to Diana and other famous people with the paparazzi actually haunting them, spying and giving no Fu*ks. But here's a thought: Who the hell buys those rag mag's is an accomplice bc if they stop buying that filth then the paparazzi will (nearly) go away or at least be way less.

Speaking as someone who was out on their ass at 18... basic parenting, including food, clothing, and sleeping indoors.... isn't nothing. Not when you consider what it's like to do without any of those.

Why censor the word murder, not like we all can't figure out what it says, strange BP.

I read a quote before, wouldn't it be safer to fire blanks at someone than fire bullets at someone with a bullet proof vest

Also gambling

Agreed. You have to survive before you save the world.

I've discovered this trend on the Internet and honestly, I absolutely do not understand it

You ruined it with "sure they're cute" because that's the whole point, they're NOT cute, people have just been trained into thinking they are. People need to realise that inbred dogs with serious health problems are the exact opposite of cute.

100% - the cheater is the one at fault - unless the people they cheated with is also someone who you have a relationship with then it's equal blame as they both owe you loyalty. I've never understood the blame being passed to the person they cheat with, and it's usually women who blame the other woman when their guy cheats - I sure there's a patriarchal link to all that that could be deciphered but seriously, they're just a shitty person if they knew he was involved with someone - if they didn't then they're just as much a victim in it all. This idea that men can't help themselves if offered sex has to stop - you don't accidentally have sex - yeah, you may regret it after but you totally know what you're doing while you're doing it.

The colour-coded baskets is such a clever idea.

They should also put that salary on the job posting...

Yes, it really should be free. I have been in therapy on and off for years and it has been free (/paid by taxes). It's due to mental health issues so free healthcare = free mental healthcare. I learned a lot and cope much better. I wish it was available to all who needs it. To hear that people live with anxiety, ptsd, depression etc and can't afford therapy to learn how to cope better is really, REALLY sad.

I don't use those sites anymore. If you want me to subscribe, or permit adverts in my ad blocker, or click a cookie thing every time, I just bounce. Enjoy your bouncerate and zero ad revenue. ALSO. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop with the f*****g animated adverts. They drive my poor ADHD ass crazy. I can't stand it.

I work only to sustain my life. I do not live to work.

In many cases I would agree but in many I would not. For example If an employee of mine turned out to be a KKK member, or they were videoed ridiculing a disabled person I would fire them without hesitation.

As someone who breaks up spaghetti before boiling them - I agree. Now give me those judgemental looks :P

I agree completely. The world will always need woodworkers, metal workers, plumbers, electricians etc, not young people with huge financial debt and very little practical skills.

Retired teacher here, so let me weigh in on the realities. For elementary school kids, I'd overwhelmingly vote yes. Younger kids want to please the teacher; they want to be around the teacher, around other kids, in class. HOWEVER, as someone who taught middle and high school for 26 years, this does not work at all. By that time, there are a lot of kids who are looking for any way to leave the classroom. Yes, there are times they need to use the bathroom, but quite often they also want to socialize. There have been groups in certain years (not all by any means) that texted and met up in bathrooms and fought, too. It helps if a teacher has a sign in/out pass, or gives a certain number of tickets per month. Other children who don't have to use the bathroom COULD give a classmate a ticket if they felt generous.

My previous boss (who was an absolute jerk!) used to say "there's a line of people waiting to take your place, if you quit." I did quite eventually. Seven years later and... my place is still unoccupied. And not just mine - two other people also quit from that office, and replacements could never be found. Or someone would start and then quit a month later due to the conditions. I guess the line of people for my spot turned out to be a bit too short ;)

Or, stop suing everyone for making mistakes. Yes there are serious negligence cases, but they're a lot less common than the cases where "negligence" is claimed, but it's just an honest mistake. Americans really need to stop that s**t.

We have to get rid of the phrase "unskilled labour". A janitor needs practical skills far above average (at least a good one does), and the working conditions of courier drivers or fastfood workers require a great deal of stamina and resilience. In any job you can go from beginner to master, working your job better or faster. Even more important, the economy absolutely depends on the jobs we tend to call "unskilled". Usually, in any company, if a middle manager is absent for some days, work continues more or less as usual. If the cleaning lady is absent, you notice the problems after a day or two the latest.

I love my cats and would do anything for them, but they ARE little assholes.

Ageism affects women way before it affects men.

I hate gatekeeper!

If you don't trust your partner, then you don't trust your own choice of partner.

We switched my kid to a Montessori school because they got to 6th grade and there was no AP option so they were just sitting there bored. It costs a good bit, but I have no reason to think public schools will be better for my kid than they were for me.

My excuse is I don't want to, go away

Some establishments also bombarding one with promotional messages after using their service once...like damn, now you giving me a reason not to use your product again...

I'll probably be downvoted, but this also applies to the African American label. Your distant ancestors were from Africa,you were born in the US therefore you are American. You don't hear people of Asian or African ancestrysaying they are Chinese English or Ghanian Scottish,they are English or Scottish or just plain British.

Well this is obvious, it also applies to many of the "50 years of driving and no accidents" type people... Yes Mrs Miggins, but only because everyone has done such a good job of avoiding your ass

Currently laid on my bed, contorting myself around 3 dogs and wouldn't have it any other way.

I swear a lot, but it's very very rarely AT someone. I'm not doing it to offend people, it just comes out :P

Jeans and hoodies get washed maybe once a month (or three) unless something has got on them. You don't need to smell like washing powder, and constantly washing everything is bad for you, your clothes, your bank account, and the planet. End of discussion, downvote me all you like I think you know by now I don't give a s**t.

My husband and I have slept in separate rooms for over 10 years (due to his loud snoring keeping me awake). We are very happy together and have no real problems in our relationship - we just both like a decent night sleep. People assume that we aren’t intimate and/or that our whole relationship is falling apart, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Never heard this phrase before.

It's not brave it's natural. This if my face. Don't like it. Screw off

It's the Patriarchy!they want every Woman to hate their own body.

I'm bare faced cause makeup is a PITA

I'm the same. My sister, a year older than me, used to put it on with a trowel. She was trying to cover her acne, but it only got worse. My Mom used lipstick only when going out to special events. I always figured that if people don't like the way I look, they don't have to look at me.

My daughter never wears make-up, she is just a natural beauty. Her eyebrows on the hand, she has to wax them or she will have a huge unibrow, I think I started haivng to this when she was around 10-12.... She just has very thick brows

I feel like this misses the point; we need to stop acting like women *have* to wear makeup to be attractive, and more importantly, that women's worth as human beings isn't based on our appearance.

Goodness, I stopped using make up once I entered adulthood, only needed it as long as I was an insecure teenager.

'God' brought me into this world butt-naked and clear-skinned, and that's how I intend to go out. You don't like it? Tough Nuggies! I'm not changing for you or anyone else. Although, I will wear makeup for very, very special occasions; like family weddings.

I am 67, I stopped wearing make-up at the age of 22, It just didn't look that great.

I got “brave” when I stopped putting on my eyebrows to go out in public. I was in so much physical pain, I just didn’t give a honkin crud. Now that I’ve had surgery, and I feel better, I do de ode to do it, it I still don’t do it all the time! I am 63 and if you are freaked, l,ease, feel free to look the other way!

If that's all it takes to be brave, I have been "brave" my whole life!

I agree. I'm female myself, and I rarely wear makeup. I dye my eyebrows and lashes once a month to have some contour, but apart from that I think wearing makeup is just a waste of money and time. I like the way I look without it. If you do see me with heavier makeup, its usually because my depression is flaring up and I try to lift my spirits a bit by trying something different

Getting fed up with hearing this isht. Very, very few of us are brave or heroes. Most of us are simply trying to get through this life as best we can.

A to the men, sister. I care about my appearance, but I care more about the comfort of my face. Make up feels like I'm being smothered. Don't believe me? Try wearing greasepaint under theatre lights on a 90 degree day. And greasepaint is exactly what it sounds like.

Maybe its because people who use a tonne of makeup feel insecure about their appearance?

Agreed! Brave is facing Russian troops coming into your country or raising your kids when your partner suddenly dies or standing up to a bully when you know the next target is you. Being barefaced in a photo is not brave and f**k anyone who calls a celebrity brave.
