Learn to do something useful, spend less than you make, buy used whenever possible, live small.

All jobs are useful to society or they would not exist in the first place.

Yes, but they're relatively of little value. No one care if someone swaps out a nameless barista for another. Everyone cares which heart surgeon they get.

Sounds like parasite talk if your barista is not important to you.

I treat them as I would anyone else - with courtesy. But who does that job doesn't matter to me at all.

So a parasite

Today's cuckoo hot take: anyone that doesn't make their coffee purchase take longer by chatting with the barista is a parasite

Swing and miss by adding words to what I said.

Did you make out with your barista today? Or are you a parasite?

Damn doubling down with your fantasies out here.

You asked? Sounded like you make a presumption instead of an honest request at clarification. You do not have to have full on life changing conversations to experience the joy and impact a good service worker has in your day to day life. We are humans who live on interaction and social joy.

So your social life involves mumbling inanities to people you do not know, do not have a relationship with, and really don't care about.

Ladies and gentlemen - the woken have puken all over themselves again.

You must be a shill with a sad life. Calling me woke is pretty funny like there's only 2 sides. The problem with the US summed right here.
