boomers love the "you catch more flies with honey rather than vinegar" line but THEY NEVER PUT IT INTO ACTION.

Was once on a family vacation with one of my best friends, her parents are like 65ish. So not boomer boomers but they were able to buy a house right out of college on a single income, etc etc. Well, we had to change rooms suddenly at the hotel we were at and my friend's sister, hours later, realized the bottle of perfume her dead grandmother had given her was missing and was in tears talking about how she should've never brought it on the trip, yadda yadda. Well, she goes down to the lobby still crying and tells the manager on duty that she think it is in the bedside table's drawer & the manager is like "someone else is already in the room so we can't do anything but give them a call in the morning and ask them to check; the cleaning staff must not have seen it because otherwise they would've brought it down here to the lost and found"

Well, turns out the lost and found DID have an empty ring box that was also in the drawer (she had bought a ring at some store and put the box in the same drawer with the perfume) - so sister comes back, still upset, and is like "I think one of the cleaning staff probably took it because the lost & found had the empty ring box but not the perfume and they were in the same drawer, so I'm not sure how one would've turned up but not the other".

Whole family is about to make a scene and me & her dad are both sitting there in the pool like "guys...chill out, forming a militia to hunt down some poor cleaning lady is not the move here" (in retrospect I should've just kept my damn mouth shut but I felt I had to be the voice of reason before a bunch of angry women started harassing every cleaning lady they saw about perfume)

Her mom looks at me and smiles. "ABC is right. You catch more flies with honey instead of vinegar. ABC will you come with me down to the lobby? I'm just gonna tell the manager that we're offering a $100 reward no questions asked if the perfume turns up" Stupidly, I say sure and go to the room to put on some dry clothes.

Tell me why the first words out of her mouth when we get down to the lobby and the manager shows up are "I'm not accusing ANYONE of theft but it seems like someone may have accidentally put it in their pocket..."

I wish I could've seen my face during this because the entire time I was sitting there just thinking "you're using vinegar! you're using vinegar!! this is not honey at all!!!"

and no, if you were wondering, the perfume did not turn up but I made sure to tip the housekeeping staff on our way out because none of them were willing to do so lol

its two syllables why would it need a nickname

"socialistic in a capitalistic society" lmao that's going on my tinder profile

Debt was written (at least partially) during the 2008 Financial Crisis so it makes sense that it is a lot different in tone/scope to Bullshit Jobs which was borne out of a bunch of essays.

Idk why OP even put Bullshit Jobs in the same vein as anything of Naomi Klein's because Bullshit Jobs doesn't even talk about 'totalitarianism' lol; and to be fair, even Shock Doctrine talks about various points in Chile, China, Iraq, and the USSR's histories like Pinochet's coup and Yetslin's dissolution of the USSR.

you've gotta live in the city for like 10 years at a minimum before you can even open your mouth about bodegas or the MTA so I don't think this plan is well thought out

the Queens grandmothers are not going to be happy when you knock on the door to canvas and they ask you "where are you from" and you say "i just moved here" they're gonna kill you

i say this as the son of a native NYC resident who moved out of the state (why did you fuck your children like this mother, we could've been living in Rochester or Albany since you didn't wanna raise kids in the city, why did you move out of the state...) but every time she goes back, our cousins/uncles/her friends who still live in the city will NOT give her the time of day once she starts yapping about how X or Y has changed - except for the Chinese restaurant they all used to eat at around Christmas, apparently it was the highlight of their childhood and all of them will get real morose anytime one of them brings it up.

i'm sorry but as a diabetic i'm not letting my friends breastfeed me to prevent a low - hypoglycemia take me i'm dying in the woods

actually i changed my mind i wanna be part of Butch's Tunnel Snakes

TUNNEL SNAKES RULE

Whichever gang snaps their fingers menacingly as they do shit; I think they'd probably be fun to hang out with and gentlemen all around
