Thunder stole my thunder

You are gullible

Yes. Full time fast food worker wages

Do people on Lemmy think that there was a time when one could afford a house on fast food worker wages?

Those were the days

In my town the CVS has a self checkout unless you hunt someone down. So maybe OP was talking to themselves

If I knew how I’d already have a cult of my own. I hear being charismatic is a prerequisite

Start a cult

And if you want to fish for trout, research the waters you intend to fish. I booked a cabin for a long fall weekend only to find out the creeks weren’t going to be stocked until the following weekend. Trout don’t survive the warm summers there and there’s no natural reproduction

Better yet understand that none of your gear makes heat, you do. Think of your sleeping bag and clothes as batteries that need to be recharged periodically and your body is a generator. When you shiver that is your body trying to burn calories to produce heat. You can stay much warmer by keeping busy and moving around than you will by standing around a fire. When you wake up cold in the middle of the night, move your legs like you’re riding a bicycle while laying on your side. It won’t take long to warm up. Also keep an isolating layer between you and the ground like a foam sleeping pad. It also works for when standing on frozen ground.

Eat em all at once. Right before your appointment at the dentist to have your teeth cleaned

When you think about it we’re kinda like worms. Stuff goes in the front end and shit goes out the back end. Day in and day out

Could be the agreement stated the painters weren’t responsible for masking anything not to be painted

The landlord wouldn’t have done that because they know it’ll have to be replaced. That’s a low skilled idiot’s work, the same thing happens to me at work. It is possible that the agreement between the landlord and the painters stated they weren’t responsible for masking anything that wasn’t to be painted

I’m curious, have your interactions with Americans been with those that have traveled to Europe? The reason I ask is because I was able to visit years ago and wondered if maybe European’s view of Americans is skewed because they mostly see those of us that come from well off backgrounds (upper income). I met young Americans that had been there multiple times because their parents paid their way while they were on summer break from school. In contrast, I was the exact opposite. You’re not likely to see many low income folks visiting so you may have a skewed viewpoint.

Propaganda

I do the same as you with a few exceptions:

Laugh at my old man’s jokes about the weather when we go out for our weekly breakfast? You get an extra buck or two

If I order water, an extra buck or so. It takes the same energy as bringing me a beer. Especially at night clubs.

Bring me back my change but didn’t break up that fiver? I’ll tip you exactly 18% and make you bring me back five singles

The bars empty, you’re not making squat in tips and you hang out and chat with me. Could be an extra five bucks or so

Give me a free beer? I’ll tip an extra five bucks

Cheaper to buy a coconut

Shit, in the US you now gotta swipe a credit card to buy air. TO BUY AIR!
