How come people want to work?

I don't want to work in order to survive but I want to be productive and keep my mind and body sharp while also contributing to the community. I like my job and while it seems mundane, it keeps me busy, gives me routine, gives my brain problems to solve, and is sometimes the most socializing I get. I just hate that I have to be afraid to lose my job or end up hungry or homeless because of it.

Reddit car crains at it again

As if it actually matters what colour a pedestrian is wearing. My winter coat is white and I carry two lights - one on my coat and one either on my head or in my hand if it's too irritating to wear. The other evening I was walking home from the grocery store and this guy kept pulling out of parking lot that crossed my sidewalk, even though I was waving my light right at him but he didn't even look in my direction until he was already pulling into traffic. He was never looking for pedestrians, only vehicles.

When did you last experience this?

Ok, so I know I'm not the smartest person, but when he looks at me and tells me I'm wrong and it's this, not that and I ask him for a source and he says "I don't have one, that's just how I thought it was," I might actually deserve a medal for having to even hear that. Some ice cream at least.

Sometimes I wonder if the subtext of religion is; if you join one youre telling on yourself that you can easily be manipulated.

I have always been a little bit jealous of people who can be sold on religion. It must be nice to have the comfort that comes with it, especially if you're the type to ignore all the rules and think that you're going to the good place just because you had faith.

I am not scared of dying exactly, I'm afraid that something might come after when I just want to sleep. What if a religion got it right? Good place or bad, I'm not down with that. I want finality in my end.

What would you think of a 48/49/50 year old married man with kids(including a 19/20yr old daughter) and grandkids blatantly and consistently flirting with women in their early-mid 20's

If this is happening at work then you need to bring it up to his boss or someone above him, preferably a woman who won't make excuses for him. Outside of work there's not a lot you can do except let him know that it's a huge red flag when older men want women without life experience.

Canada will cancel thousands of refugee claims under new retroactive law

So fuck the refugees but TFWs are fine? What the fuck, Carney? I don't care about how much the demand for refugee status has increase, those numbers can be directly subtracted from the amount of TFWs we bring in. They can complain about fraud all they like but IMO it's a ridiculous argument to make while ever corporations are allowed to scam our country with temporary foreign workers. I'd much rather high refugee numbers and immigration numbers than high temporary worker numbers.
