      120/ This keeps happening. I'm saying "hard work and hustle are good", and people act as if I'm defending social atomization, tindr hookup culture, and the trilateral commission.

      Maybe these kids will die lonely deaths in a totally atomized, alien society, but at least they've got their Ipads. Grandad never had that. They should appreciate how lucky they are, right? I'm genX & I'm calling you peak boomer. They don't come any more boomer than you.

      124/ Themodel for this criticism is "you succeeded, so you're not a good model for people who are failing". First off, that's retarded. Who is a BETTER model for someone who is failing than someone who succeeded? Another failure? That's not a role model. That's a pity party.

          When my wife and I rehabbed this house (bought at 50% of expected value, due to REASONS), we started using a phrase we've never stopped using: "trading pain for money." The thing is, most of rehabbing a house isn't skill. It's just painful.
