Why are you against the working man, anon?
Rooseveltian unions are imperfect things, by design, but you’d probably be dead set against workers owning their own business and receiving all the profits themselves because they’d be able to divvy it up equally, and you *h a t e* people treating each other as equals, right?

What situation, having to clarify the spelling of a book to a clerk? I don't see how this is suffering.

t. does not have or empathize with those who have social anxiety

>> No.13565683

It's kinda hard to empathize with.

>> No.13565846

>>13565315
I do.
I also know that anxiety is pure indulgence, do not engage it and it dies. Relativize the act. Infact, socially anxiety is a lack of empathy, it's the failure to recognize that "everyone" are a annoyed stressed by these interactions, and your narcissistic self-importance overblows the nothing burger.

I buy all my books used, and not one of them have any writing in them. You just have to look around for good deals. Or continue to pay for your overpriced shit, whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Michael Jordan’s coach back at North Carolina was accused of showing unprecedented favoritism to Michael Jordan while he played there. Jordan was treated more like an assistant coach than a 19 year old student athlete.
In response to these accusations, the coach replied, ‘I try to treat everybody fairly. That does not mean I treat everybody the same.
