That's a fad... You kind of did it because others were doing it. You did it based on others and what they think.

I guess to illustrate my point farther, if you really don't care what people think, you also be rude. You could say the n word, and ruin all chances of ever being employed again. What people think impacts your employability. But that's not a problem, because you don't care what people think right? So you can tell your mom you hate her, even though you love her, because who cares what she thinks.

I mean, it's just ridiculous. "Don't care what others think" is impractical, but it's also impossible to implement. It's like when someone says "cheer up" - oh wow I never thought of that - I just WON'T be sad. Thanks !

This is the problem with these things. Motivational shit is basically almost always garbage.

"Don't care what others think"

Really? Prove it. Go around with a pacifier in your mouth.

And then they cop out by saying they don't want to prove it because they don't care if I believe them.

but No. they won't prove it because they can't. We're social creatures who care what others think to varying degrees. It just doesn't sound as good to say "make sure you moderate how much of others opinions you allow to impact your behavior"

Also, you can't will yourself into uncaring what others think. So it's all fucking stupid.

Ok. So don't "come to" other people. But this same advice shouldn't be followed by the people who will "come to" you.

Makes sense. Just make sure at least half of all people don't see this, and it'll work.

Bombing an impoverished African village out of boredom does not define me!

No. really. This post says so.

Do these actually help people?

Why don't you just know you're worth. The reason why you're not paid enough, is because you know you're worth more, but you accepted a position whose value for a good or service provided is lower than your potential.

Stop blaming your boss. Stop doubting your worth. Find a job that provides the most value that you're able to provide (not a cashier. Not a barista). And then get compensated according to that value.

Okay. I agree with that. I thought you were going to be a socialist.

Always find it funny when socialists get mad we bail out banks and stuff... I'm like, wait a minute, that was YOUR ALLs idea lmao..

Capitalism is about letting banks die when they... Die. Socialism is about the public ownership of losses (they just want profits too).

And then I hear "well this is the result of capitalism". Yeah. Carl Mark said that capitalist societies go socialist. So aren't we agreeing that we don't want to go socialist? These safety nets of bailing people out cost US, the taxpayers. Laugh my ass off.

Yeah people don't understand that rich people don't take an income so they don't pay tax. It's not that they're doing loopholes it's that they literally don't have an income. So people can spout off about how angry they are but it really does nothing. We have to go back to the drawing board on taxation to include rich people. The ignorance is frustrating. I just want people to first learn that what rich people do is take out consecutive loans unendingly, BECAUSE they have growing capital for collateral.

Not interested in making the universe smaller or Rich people's pockets smaller.

It won't make your dick larger or your pockets larger, respectively. Mostly because Even the size is relevant, we don't compare dicks to the universe. And as for money, we don't live in a zero sum economy where the excess of someone's wealth came from stealing from you. It came from supply and demand. And you just don't supply enough of things people demand. Furthermore, stealing doesn't fix the world's problems.
