At least the main thing blowing up my phone is Chinese robocalls instead of seeing facebook bullshit from people that toss you away once they're done with you.

It's good you made that move!
I rarely ever use Facebook now. The initial reason for me to do it is really just how bulky it has become. A couple of years ago, it was a lot cleaner and I used to check it every day. Now, meh.
And then there are the articles people share. Tried to read the comments and realized how cancerous it is.
I had a discussion with my roommate recently. He thinks that Facebook may be slowly dying, and he said his younger brother and kids of his age in high school use Instagram(which I don't have and don't plan to have) nowadays.

I was never able to finish school because my parents couldnt afford it and I worked customer service for a long time and I helped my family as much as I could. I may not be successful but Ive always prided myself in being able to help my parents and pay for family dinners when 30 of us get together. When I visited my brother who is 6 years older than me, i was able to pay for everything we did and buy him groceries for after I left. Now hes making better money, he buys me gifts from Holt Renfrew and I dont even shop there for myself lol. When I go out with my friends, I pay the whole bill and Ill do it happily. So when I havent been able to work, everybody remembered that and they didnt hesitate in taking care of me when they invite me out.
My hubs made minimum wage when I met him but I helped him and when he got promoted, I was able to not work for 2 years now.
Just because a somebody works in retail/customer service doesnt mean theyre useless. They might have their money right, a good head on their shoulders and treat people in their life very well, and who are you to judge them as a person based on the title of their job?
I think its more about who the person is on the inside. Id rather have a SO with the same values as me than someone who's successful on paper but our values dont align. Just my opinion though  |
Agreed that not everyone working at a retail is shitty. I can usually tell when someone gives a shit or not at a retail.
