A man has a paintbrush. He is not good at painting and he is approached by another man. He asks the man with the paintbrush if he could borrow his, since he is lacking one. The man with the paintbrush agrees to lend it to this man. This second man was a talented painter, and he created masterpiece painting.
When others see this work of art and are amazed, the first man in his envy states "The artist would have amounted to nothing without me! I gave him the paintbrush!"
Nit picking at a statement that I see often:
"No one put you in the friendzone except, you put yourself there."
This is not quite accurate. You are put in the friendzone by someone else, not yourself. But you decide whether you stay there or not.
This might seem like a distinction without a difference, but the way I see it the distinction demonstrates that others can put you in categories, but you decide whether or not you accept the role or not.
I have been hearing a lot of sob stories from federal workers being cut from their jobs on my NPR recon. They can cry me a river, because people losing their jobs is nothing new. It happens all the time. I have not only no sympathy, but less because we should not be having the federal government doing so many functions in the first place. No they are not essential, we can go without them.
If we cannot cut spending in these ways, how could we possibly tackle the much larger spending cuts needed?
Still sick of any claims of covid or "the pandemic" being considered the cause various issues. It always was and still is the government that was causing most of the issues when they were imposing restrictions on everyone. It is even worse when we see more and more evidence that they were lying about the numbers and not even following their own bullshit rules.
But what can we expect from our government? Honesty?
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
