shoulda just said because I have a mouth infection

I just get 30 min fairly polite conversations about how shit their life is going

I had a friend who would brag about how easy it was to get food stamps.

How he would lie on the forms.

lol

I'm still so confused over some of the friendships I've made. Just had a really tough conversation today with my buddy up in Tacoma who is on that whole Anti-American wagon.

Honestly don't know if I can stay friends with him. Really want to because he's a hilarious guy and a great musician but some of the shit believes is just so historically ignorant.

@M4Gunner why still? You mean as in they don't understand why they are still expected to apply for jobs?

yeah same

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] I'm pretty anti-yank. Whats he believe?

if my old friends knew I'd considered becoming a cop they'd be like "WUAGH?"

He believes America is evil and the big evil corporations just earned their wealth by stealing it and extorting the rest of the world. He doesn't believe me when I say the free market has lifted half the world out of abject poverty, or that today's living standards are much better than they were before.

nah man he's stubborn

I wish

I've tried having conversations about Jordan Peterson and others but he doesn't give a shit.

Hi @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]

yeah, but already I'm going to show my secret leftie mind, pretty much every attempt to restrict abuse of welfare just harms legitimate users, as illegitimate ones have the time and energy to y' know, learn how to get around it.

He thinks I'm the naive one because I take interest in the ideas of intellectuals.

Does the server censor cuss words or are you censoring yourself @M4Gunner ?

fuck

The thing is he isn't interested in even having that kind of conversation.

He thinks he has it figured out. He doesn't want to search for truth.

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] I mostly agree with his premises. Probably disagree on the reasons though.

ok thank you for taking the time to explain this to me

He doesn't want dialectic. He's a *fucking millenial*.

man you are a walking troupe ain't you?

said every adult since Aristotle

Yeah man. I really hope he learns some day but I honestly don't think he will.

Yeah I know. I've been a little desperate though since basically all my friends are like that.

Man I wish I could get at least one of them to fucking wake up.

It sucks when you’ve got good friends but then they go all politically weird

And then there’s my other friend

That's probably exactly how they see me.

Who turned gay and asked me out while we were stuck together for the next 4 days

That was... awkward...

woah

Yeah

Idk

Maybe he actually thought I’d say yes?

And was hoping we could fuck like rabbit the next four days I guess

They still your best friend?

Because sometimes they’re reasonable

Sometimes they’re not

Hey

Coulda been worse

Ok

Well

Yeah

Don't think 'm against they/them tbh, probably do think its progressive

We coulda been stuck in the same room

Hell, we coulda been sharing a bed

in the definition of the word, not the political movement

Hey man, sometimes those gay thoughts get the best of you naw I'm sayin?

At least we were in separate roomd

No, I can’t say they have

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]

Doing it anyways

*I try to stop all these gay thoughts and feelins*
*I don't know where they come from*
*All of these gay thoughts, I've had trouble concealing*
*Since I was fairly young*

lyrics of that song by the growlers up there

Great conception of struggling with dark inner thoughts.

You sound like you’re experienced in that subject

nah faggot

Damn

Sorry to hear that

Yeah

Well

@M4Gunner thats what local Politics is for

It seems like really old people could always use a friend

You know, old vets with no one to visit them anymore

its where adults go to make new friends and pretend they are in a playground again

They always have the best stories/advice

its great

The hell kinda politics are you on about @EmptyE

Local Politics, usually for an established party

@M4Gunner I mean go make friends with the really old people who all their friends have died

And their family doesn’t visit

You know

its usually a room of 30-60 years old, bitching, sniding at each other, forming cliques and making friends

That kind of old person

Occasionally they change the bin day

Hmm

Ohhh

HOA?

City council?

Dont know what HOA is. am UK based

Probably city council would be annalogous

@M4Gunner I think we’ve encountered different old people

Oh

That sucks

Sorry to hear about that

Dementia is pretty hard, innit?

Do they keep wandering off?

ye

I meant his

Ah, well at least there’s that

:/

Did you used to be a nurse?

You said professional direct care experience
