Food service was one of the last jobs ever wanted to have as a career after working jobs in that sector during high school, mostly because of how much work it is.
I get paid a lot more as an engineer and it's infinitely less work.
That said, money isn't supposed to reflect how hard the work was for you. It reflects the value of what you did.
A lot of low value jobs with low levels of training and large pools of prospective workers able to do those jobs are extremely high effort while also being very low value.
Putting in lots of effort is something most anyone can do with a gun to their heads if nothing else, so you don't get much compensation just because you run around doing a lot of busy work.
Now if you're doing hard work that's very dangerous and scares off most everyone else from doing the same job as you (e.g. ice road trucking / Alaskan crab fishing), then your hard work will pay a premium.
But being a McDonald's wagie isn't quite scary enough to drive away tons of new employees hired each day worldwide. It's soul killing and very unpleasant maybe, but usually not an immediate threat to your life.

Wake the lobster with an alarm clock early in the morning, make him wear a lobster uniform, and lead him to a lobster workplace where you'll have him do menial tasks and get yelled at by other lobsters for 8 hours daily so he gradually turns his impotent anger at the world inwards with long term low grade inflammation ultimately culminating in cancer or heart attack.

>American doctors are just drug salesmen nowadays.
It doesn't help that the average American is ridiculously ignorant about the state of modern medical science and almost every one you talk to mindlessly takes for granted the bizarre assumption that every health problem in existence is something a doctor will give you a medicine for and it will magically restore you back to perfect health with 100% effectiveness and reliability and no consequences.
I hate it so much whenever I hear someone say "why don't you go see a doctor?" / "why don't you just get some medicine for that?" I half-wish everyone could experience some fucked up chronic autoimmune disease firsthand and realize that they're stuck with seriously debilitating health problems from it for life, that going to see your specialist doctor later on when you're continuing to suffer from it will not do anything to change this, and that your treatment options are all entirely limited to trying to screw with your immune system in some way that will hurt you in the medium to long term for the sake of the possibility of mild symptom improvement in the short term, and that by "hurt you" I mean stuff like "will give you motherfucking leukemia because you suppressed your immune system and that's one of the known side effects," not "will give you a headache for a few minutes one day in the future while you're out living a full life horseback riding and coming up with ideas for your next big novel."

>not every calorie is created equal
And that's wrong you retard.
As far as *weight* is concerned calories absolutely are "equal" regardless of macronutrient.
Here, try reading this time:

>Ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets have no metabolic advantage over nonketogenic low-carbohydrate diets
>KLC and NLC diets were equally effective in reducing body weight and insulin resistance, but the KLC diet was associated with several adverse metabolic and emotional effects. The use of ketogenic diets for weight loss is not warranted.

>Energy expenditure and body composition changes after an isocaloric ketogenic diet in overweight and obese men.
>The carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity posits that habitual consumption of a high-carbohydrate diet sequesters fat within adipose tissue because of hyperinsulinemia and results in adaptive suppression of energy expenditure (EE). Therefore, isocaloric exchange of dietary carbohydrate for fat is predicted to result in increased EE, increased fat oxidation, and loss of body fat. In contrast, a more conventional view that "a calorie is a calorie" predicts that isocaloric variations in dietary carbohydrate and fat will have no physiologically important effects on EE or body fat.
>CONCLUSION: The isocaloric KD was not accompanied by increased body fat loss but was associated with relatively small increases in EE that were near the limits of detection with the use of state-of-the-art technology.

>Buying water
Pretty retarded. You already get all the hydration you need if you just eat and drink regular foods and drinks.

>"We found no significant differences at all," says nutritionist Ann Grandjean, the study's lead author. "The purpose of the study was to find out if caffeine is dehydrating in healthy people who are drinking normal amounts of it. It is not."
>The same goes for tea, juice, milk and caffeinated sodas: One glass provides about the same amount of hydrating fluid as a glass of water. The only common drinks that produce a net loss of fluids are those containing alcohol--and usually it takes more than one of those to cause noticeable dehydration, doctors say.

>A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 litres daily in most instances. An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 millilitre for each calorie of food. Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. If the last, crucial sentence is ignored, the statement could be interpreted as instruction to drink eight glasses of water a day.

Which ones are triggering you specifically? Are you a ketotard, a salt hater, or one of those faggots who goes around saying "umami?"

Wow this salty and Briney taste reminds me of the semen I swallowed last Tuesday when I told you I was working late
(It was a feminine penis so no homo but still cheating)
