Holy fuck this comment section is atrocious.

Throw it onto the pile.

You also drink a ton of beer. That's my favourite part, really.

You really can't, though. There are a finite number of hours in each day.

Oh come on, you never stop asking! I've done more paddlin' than Lewis and Clark.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US, with a poverty rate of 18.7%, followed by Louisiana as the second poorest state, with a poverty rate of 17.8%, and New Mexico, as the third poorest state in the US, at a poverty rate of 16.8%.

I don't know, is it?

You do you I guess.

Lol sure, you could neglect your children, that's always an option. Makes you a bad person though. Potentially a criminal too, depends on the exact nature of the neglect.

I don't disagree with your quoted section. I was more referring to this:

Simple example: I tell colleagues, family, whatever to please remind me again if they feel I missed something they expected of me. If they do, all is good. If they later are pissed that I missed something and immediately blame me ... sorry my friend, I warned you.

You can't expect people to constantly remind you and check up on you. I would rather just do the thing myself at that point.

This is so situational. Obviously if someone asks you for something and you say no upfront, then ya I agree with you. Sometimes we don't have a choice who we rely on though.

Children are an easy example. Your children rely on you for everything and there's no one else they can rely on. Sick parents? Siblings that don't have spouses? You can't just shed yourself of all responsibilities or obligations in this life, even when they're hard or near impossible for you to do. That's just reality.

This doesn't seem reasonable... If you accept some responsibility, duty, job, whatever, it's your responsibility to ensure that you take whatever steps are necessary for you to complete that task. It's not everyone else's job to babysit you and make sure you actually do the thing you agreed to do.

I probably just wouldn't ask you for anything anymore after you burned me the first time and just go with someone else... You might think that's unfair, but we've all got our own problems and my time is better spent going with a more reliable option.

I agree about healthcare, of course. You may not like Twitter, I'm not a big fan personally, but you can't deny that it is used by many organizations as public communications. Hell, my local PD posts critical alerts via Twitter. Local metro, local post office, local news, local universities, colleges, etc... I would rather it be managed by the government rather than a ketamine fueled despot.
