Ya, fuck Great Hill Partners. I guess I’ve finally come to peace with it for now. At the very least, we still have a place, even if it is a shadow of what we once had. I still haven’t gotten back out of the greys after the Great Reset.

I swear it’s the same person offering their shitty take on the ‘Exhausted Pizzamakers’ article’s comment section. And if it’s not, it might as well be. Honestly, this whole “denigrate/criminalize the poor for doing their jobs” thing just seems so 2008. At this point, I wish these self righteous, hollow, chauvinist…

Bullshit. You’re right about the “right price” thing, but... tell me there aren’t thousands if not millions of kids faced with no family resources, big expectations, and big ambitions. They want to own a house, because no one in their family ever has. They want to have kids, and raise them comfortably. They want to…

Further, it takes far different skills, as well as manual labour. The funny thing with retail and food service is, some think it doesn’t take physical exertion. It’s hauling a skid’s worth of fine leather or 2 cases of beer at a time up 3 flights of stairs, 6 times over, because there is no service elevator and your…

Lol hey now, don’t paint us all with that brush!! After getting a double BA and a Masters, I am certainly still drowning in student loans, and probably will be for the next decade! I dunno about 9am bourbon shots, but I’d take a 9am beer in the right circumstance! Judge not lest ye be judged and all that... right? But…

I worked in restaurants/bars/members only clubs for a good number of years. Front of house for the most part (server/bartender extraordinaire), but once I started working in management roles it was literally “do whatever the fuck needs to happen”. Short on kitchen staff? Put on a jacket and start assisting on the…

Absolutely. And the fact they are probably making minimum wage through it all, while literally putting their health on the line (as well as whoever they live with), turns my stomach. If there is anything the past year should have taught us, it’s that restaurant/food service workers are indeed essential, and should be…

Buddy... you more or less said so yourself. I wasn’t being aggressive at all, merely critical of how you chose to communicate your frankly shitty take.

I get riled up about the vastness of social inequality, the devaluation of wage labour in contemporary capitalism, the long con of suggesting that the status quo represents meritocracy, it’s true. As well as the ways in which it gets normalized and even held up as something just and good. From my perspective, it’s a…

Fair enough. Perhaps I read your comments wrong, but even going back and looking at them, it certainly doesn’t seem that way. Without maybe expanding on the whole “work is hard” thing beyond “I can do it, so can they”, and not responding to my first comment with “pretty much” when I was facetiously suggesting everyone…

For the record, I have a similar story, and degrees to show for it. I just don’t think that my path is necessarily a path to success for everyone, or that it’s as easy or simple as “just be like me”. You are not everyone, everyone is not you, and lots of people have gone through much harder shit than either of us, I’m…

Well aren’t you just a paragon of virtue. If only everyone could just be as good as you, there would simply be no sociological issues to confront anymore. We just would have worked all our asses off (which we obviously don’t do now...) and used our brains more! Simple! Amirite? Man, I wish I could be more like you.…

Man, you just gotta be a dick huh? No one is attacking you. No one is actively souring your grapes. You’re just being malicious and shitty, for the sake of being malicious and shitty. I’d say you need a hug or something... but like, maybe you just need to get over yourself a bit.

The owls are fun too!

I was thinking something more along the lines of

I honestly just figured that Giuliani’s Goo Demon needed to change hosts, and that the slickback was just a byproduct of that. Instead of leaking down the side of the face like with its last host, the new and improved version includes a hair buffer that can be used to smudge the excess goo into the back of the head.…

Waiting for an apology from someone like that is like waiting for a unicorn to shit rainbows in your yard, leading to the growth of a beanstalk, leading to a golden egg. But otherwise, yeah, I hear ya.

I thoroughly enjoy your comments Skeffles. We think alike.

Who the fuck ungreyed you? Jesus man, you’re a monster.
