Iβm sorry Larry, it appears that youβve had a bit too much to thinkβ¦This monthβs rant is brought to you by the thought police who spend entirely too much time worrying about everybody elseβs personal opinions and beliefs!
If you donβt like a personβs opinions and beliefs, why would you bother asking them for their opinion or what they believe? Seems to me that if you know for a fact that you are about to end up all butt-hurt by what theyβre going to say, youβd learn to just stop talking to them and spare your fragility some grief. No need for a big speech about how youβre offended and waste everybodyβs time with a little-league pissing contest over it.
Trying to censor or cancel a person, or get them fired (or fire them) just because they donβt drink the same Kool-Aid that you do, only makes you look like a complete freakin buffoon. You arenβt making a valid point to anybody, not even to yourself. The only thing that youβre succeeding at is throwing a juvenile fucking tantrum and proving just how mentally fragile and unstable you are. Invest in some thicker skin and a spine already!
I always seem to have a reference to that Scottsbluff, NE joke of a computer repair joint named Connecting Point. I was working there when a county deputy shot a friendβs Rottweiler and it was all recorded by his home CCTV cameras. Scotts Bluff County was their biggest customer because they also leased copiers. I expressed my disgust with the dog shooting, even on Facebook, and the countyβs laughable IT manager at the time (Chance Florke) made it impossible for me to continue working there. Oh well, it just ended up being their loss, in grand fashion. No big deal to me.
Was it really worth everybodyβs time to put so much effort into having such thin skin over my opinions and beliefs? The most that it cost me was one week of lost income. But I donβt live paycheck to paycheck, so it was just a week off in my world. They went over 2 months with nobody to fix computers and then ended up hiring back a former employee who never could figure out everything that I did to fix all of his fuckups that he left behind. Iβm still laughing, especially now that I see that Chance lost his job with the county and how they took their business to Connecting Pointβs biggest competitor! Simple logic explains that one!
Their insistence upon me thinking their way even went as far as religion, literally telling me to βpretend to be a Christianβ and attend their Christmas parties. I donβt know what they thought their paycheck was actually paying for, but as far as I was concerned, it was merely for the work that I performed there between 8am and 5pm on weekdays. A free steak dinner isnβt anywhere near enough payment for me to put on that kind of charade. However, I do find it amusing that these βChristiansβ told me that you can simply pretend to be one and itβs perfectly acceptable. (Cafeteria Christians)
Words of wisdom, βYou can be wrong, and you can be dead wrongβ and βBe careful what you wish forβ. Donβt get too caught up in trying to assimilate everybody into thinking the same way that you do just for the sake of protecting your delicate sensitivities. As we constantly see on display in this cesspool of cancel culture today, the victory that you score for your fragility right now will come back and bite you in the ass in short order, if not immediately.
What the fuck, Larry? That sounds like a threatβ¦No, thatβs just a sign that what Iβm saying probably applies to you.
Most things in this world come with a price. The big question is, how much do you want to pay and how quickly do you want to pay for it? I say βmost thingsβ come with a price because thereβs not enough money in the world to make me adopt somebody elseβs beliefs. In which case, you should take some advice from Don Henley and GET OVER IT!
