    The guy is a fucking bum. Why are so many people here trying to force positivity when the point is realizing he wasted his life. The point isn’t to twist it into some exercise in tolerance to smell your own farts. It’s ok to say “you bum”

      Brother he’s working a job throughout this entire story. That by default means he’s not a bum. He can be completely content being in one place. Hell I worked in school districts with plenty of people that were “lifers” and that didn’t make them bums.

      It’s more so sad from his angle of he still doesn’t have a person to be with. He could also be banging people left and right and not meant for monogamy. Still not a bum.

        Yes, absolutely. I’m still tired of this acceptance of this type of acceptance because it translates into so many of you crying about being miserable the rest of your life. Well no shit you’re miserable if you accept low skill low wage jobs. There’s a point where this push for seeing positivity and acceptance of all things turns into something that is misleading. Young people see the attitude and adopt it. Next thing they’re 33 and still working these jobs and miserable.
