There are certain advantages to working blue collar.

Had I never got married I’d be loaded. I don’t think I’d like who I was though.

I always laugh when the statistics are quoted for lesbian marriages having the highest divorce rates. Gay marriages have the lowest. I see liberal women trying to contort themselves into why this is the case, lol. Men are easier to get along with.

I look at who some of my friends and family are married to and I could easily say they would be better off single. Many of them. I would say over 50% of relationships today are a shite show.

Yes, those women actually tell on each other. Men aren’t turning women in for that crap.

A variation of this was suggested by Joe Rogan:

While going to college, I worked at a small country gas station. Funnest job ever. Became friends with all the customers over the 4 years. Funny shite went down there at night.

How is it a profound question? Why don’t you like your wife?

Careers provide our ability to experience a high quality of life and they are the primary way we contribute to society.

Here’s my hot take: being miserable in both marriage and a job says more about the man than it does the marriage and the job.

Other than states where you are prohibited from pumping your own gas, is this even a thing anymore (other than working the counter of the connected convenience store)?

<<<< old enough to remember when service stations:

Filled your tank
Cleaned your windshield
Checked/topped air in your tires
Checked oil (and showed you the dipstick)

Never been through a divorce but I hear it’s one of the most stressful things you can go through.

And to get me to consider being a gas station employee in the ghetto the salary would have to have 2 commas.

It is a legit question, and it’s one that has been much discussed by serious philosophers.

Like, in another life? I've already got enough problems that are tethered to me that working in a gas station would just exacerbate
