43/ let's be honest with each other: (1) you couldn't rebut my argument re whiny NEETs so you changed the topic (2) it's bigger than most family farms during America's frontier period (3) I get more than half my family's food from it, so it's big enoughhttps://twitter.com/D_R_Ball/status/1108908453773205506?s=19 …

55/ This is EXACTLY the problem. These "everything was stolen from us" folks use screencaps of 1950s advertising to show how things "were" and what was "taken" from them. You think every single guy in 1950 had a hot blond wife, a red corvette, a ....?https://twitter.com/Advanced_COBOL/status/1109090068441034752 …

56/ Hard work and long hours are part of the secret. Two years ago I worked for 6 months on a gig. 12 hour days + 3 hour commute. Alarm clock at 4:10 am, back home at 7:30pm. Every Sunday I worked a side job for 8-10 hours. 85 hour weeks. https://twitter.com/BrianEr32944716/status/1109091414347055105 …

57/ And in those 6 months I paid off half of my remaining mortgage. I hated every minute of that commute and that job. But I did it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7ZHLppS5_w …

58/ If you want to get ahead in life, you work hard. You think a hard STEM major was fun? You think grinding at hard jobs was fun? You think saving much of my salary was fun? Everything has tradeoffs. You want to play 30 hours of WoW or whatever per week, go ahead.

59/ ....but don't do that and then bitch and moan that the Jews / the boomers / globohomo / the corporations stole from you. There's only one resource you're born with: time. There's only one person that steals it from you: YOU.

60/ And has feminism convinced a lot of women to be whores and sleep around? Yes. Does automation make it hard to earn a living bolting wheels onto cars? Yes. Are you the first generation in the history of the world to have it hard? No.pic.twitter.com/GNC373017G

63/ Congrats, you're comparing a picture of an 18 yo midshipman to a 47 yo me. I am, in fact, ~30 years older than Heinlein was at the time of that picture. You have absolutely DESTROYED my point that hard work pays benefits. Listen to the applause.https://twitter.com/Logo_Daedalus/status/1109183166043049984 …

66/ No, actually, older Heinlein was a bit of a weirdo perv. I'm just pointing out that if you want to say "lol you look stupid", you should use a good calibration standard.https://twitter.com/Logo_Daedalus/status/1109185974116982785 …

67/ You also seem to be under the mistaken belief that I get my sense of self worth from the fact that I wrote two books. I don't. Writing is a minor sideline for me. I'm an engineer, a husband, a hobby farmer, and a Catholic. Writing is a $7.50/hour hobby.

75/ I'm listening to these NEETs bitch and moan about hard work. I'm a pansy compared to my dad. He's a pansy compared to HIS dad. That guy fought his way through the Pacific Campaign as a USMC grunt, in a unit that took over 100% casualties, then returned home to work >

76/ as an iron worker. Climbing high steel every day, 12 months a year, riveting and bolting. Building bridges, building NYC. Bought a house for his wife and his 4 kids. Died on the job around age 50. If he heard this NEET bitching, he'd slap that attitude off their faces.
