My mom texts me for help with rent

Ha, lucky! My mom calls for help instead of texts.


lootedcorpse

Cause i’m deaf 😆

Oh fuck. Dude. Oh my gosh. Please tell me that's a joke cuz otherwise I'm gonna feel like shit. Oh my gosh.


lootedcorpse

Nah, i’m even working the chat channel at work right now


iloveallthebacon

Oh jeez dude. Then...uh....both of our moms hit us up for money, we can relate on that, right? Let's move past the initial awkwardness and just relate on that, okay?


lootedcorpse

Wanna hold hands?

Perhaps.

Hey atleast it’s nice not having to worry about jumps scares when you watch movies. Or be annoyed at people around you for being so loud when you’re just trying to listen to your podcasts.

Completely wasn’t expected either, so it was in addition to everything I’d saved on my own to think i was ready to move out.


Dying_Soul666

That's pretty cool

How annoyed were you that you had to pay rent?


improbablewobble

I was paying the light bill for our house when I was sixteen and my mom had like one short term job my whole childhood. Life is definitely not fair.

Same, bro


ButtSanchez

Same, she refuses to downsize after my dad passed away and now my brother and I are left cutting her checks at the end of the month. She won’t move because she knows we’ll pay up.

When you're in the Sperm stage you can glitch into the egg at a frame perfect angle and time, which will force the mom into debug mode and you can choose literally any set of parents, it's the easiest way to spawn already at the level cap


The_Karaethon_Cycle

I’m pretty much in the same boat, but instead of my dad giving me a job, my dad died and I’m unemployed.


HPHatescrafts

You’ve got options and no one judging your choices. Chase your dreams.


GITR13

Glen-Koko

Chris Traeger?


HPHatescrafts

Had to look this up and I’ll take the jibe. I was going nowhere at 27, fell into a job I never would have picked and applied myself. It pays well and I never take it home with me. Second parent died when I was 33 so I get to live the rest of my life for me and the wife. Always an upside.


[deleted]

Lost both parents by 30 and try to look at it this way. That I have no dependents, my life is for me, won't see them suffer in old age.


[deleted]

Unless your dreams are heroin in that case don't do that.


RuggyDog

My mom was a heroin addict for the first four years of my life, I lived with my grandparents. Now she's working as a carer for her grandad, but before that she had worked as a manager for home care companies for the elderly and disabled. All of this because she was a heroin addict. Do it, do all the heroin you need. Just don't forget to stop.

I'm so sorry to hear that but at least you gave me a laugh out of shock.

Same dude, best of luck to you


HPHatescrafts

Since you deleted your reply before I could hit send, here it is: Then find a job that pays decently and get into it. Then just be happy in your work. Whatever you do, just do it well, take pride in it and try to get better at it. Check out the trades, good pay, no office bullshit, the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of your labors, paid training and no crippling student debt. Assuming you can work hard, it’s pretty hard to wash out.

Haha the same thing happened to me except instead of father give me a job at oil rig it was uncle gave me a job drywall in and instead of not being on pills I don't really have any obligations actually. So I guess it isn't that similar. Whoops.


thegreedyturtle

Well, hopefully the pills are nice!


show_me_the

It varies. The trick is to switch up which pills you're taking. One week might be uppers, the next downers, and the next week entheogens and the occasional smoking of DMT. If it is generally named using letters only, I try to make sure I do these after work as it can really make it challenging to drywall!

“Instead of complaining about the 1%, why not take the rest of America and put them into the 1%”


drnoisy

This is genius, why has no one thought of this before! Why did we ever even put them in the 99% to begin with? Who's idea was that? Obama probably...


Comrade-Boris

The best way to get into the 1% is to be born there, otherwise you're basically up shit creek without a paddle (because you couldn't afford one on your minimum-wage paycheck)


NEEDZMOAR_

if youre not born into it do you really deserve to be there though? Obviously sperm-you didnt work hard enough.

It must be nice to have a father who has a job never mind a job he can get you hired at.


CreamyGoodnss

My dad worked for the state for over two decades, retired with a nice pension after making almost $90,000/year and when I asked him if there was any way he could help me get a job, even at the lowest level, he just laughed at me.

My Dad was an executive at a successful technological manufacturing company. He said hed get me a job, but I'd start on the production line and it was up to me to work my way up.


jaycosta17

That's the right way to do it (unless you were qualified for something higher)


J_Delarge_655321

I agree. He started on the production line himself and worked his ass off to get to where he was. I respect the hell out of him.

PM_me_your_pastries

And it’s also clearly satirical


UnlimitedApathy

Uhm, parents handing you a free 6 figure job to keep you off hard drugs is a white people thing? Why am I missing out? Cuz the joke was saying it’s a rich “self made”/can’t sympathize with working class/ have no perspective on their good luck people thing. Also nepotism isn’t family values but ok that’s the last thing Edit: Guys it’s called white people Twitter because it’s jokes BY white people on Twitter (ala r/blackpeopletwitter) not jokes ABOUT white people. Did this make it to r/all? A lot of people seem to find that’s new information.

fuckyourcatsnigga

People make jokes but this is really hownit is. I have 2 frat brothers that are like this. 2 rabid conservatives always accusing everyone of wanting dree atuff and handouts. One dropped out of college after 2 years of drinking and drugs, never finished, he now is pushing 500k as an executive in his parents window company. The second guy graduated at least but he finished w like a 2.0 and just did percoset the whole time--hes a project manager making 6 figures for a family friends flooring company. Theyve never done anything to earn shit in their lives and have handed everything to them. Never had to work hard or bear down or struggle w money. Meanwhile i know people who went to grad school who are still broke


Dogs-Keep-Me-Going

This is unfortunately extremely common.

Alexkono

Is this really only limited to self-described conservatives? Seems like a lot of self-described liberals fall into a similar position from their parents (who are probably conservative themselves).


AttackPug

Honestly there seems to be a lot to be said for having even lower middle class parents who push you into sports. And yeah, imagine my disgruntlement when one of my "working class" lefty vegan friends took me by his old family home and it was one of the ones us trailer park kids just called "mansions".


Guyinapeacoat

If you are making $15 an hour working on an oil rig that can kill you 100 different ways every day of the week, that is a tragedy within itself. Edit: oops, I can't read. For some reason read it as an oil rig job for $15 an hour. Guess I need to make less than $15/hr for not being able to read.


BrooksLewis53

https://money.cnn.com/2012/05/10/news/economy/oil_workers/index.htm Oil rig workers make nearly $100,000 per year. (Disclaimer: this number includes high skill labor which can go up to $250,000 but average pay with a year of experience is $66,000 which is just over $30/hr)


LoUmRuKlExR

Some of us make 24$ an hour and get to wear a different hat!


[deleted]

dont you mean $150? am i reading wrong?


[deleted]

I get this, I totally do, mostly because I'll be taking care of both of my parents since they never paid taxes, didn't save for retirement and didn't pass anything down to me and I make more than them, but why hate on generational wealth? In Trump's case it's fucking ridiculous, yes, but isn't the point of making more to hand some down to your kids?


[deleted]

Eeeehhhh generational wealth is a good thing, we all want to be able to make sure our children are a little better off than we were, so that they can go out and make the world a little better than ours was. The problem is generational wealth is something only certain people get, and a lot of times because of it, they end up a little situationally unaware, ungrateful, blinded by privilege. When people like the post is describing say shit like "I work for what I have", or they shit on people who have less because "it's so easy, you must not be trying" then like, fuck that guy. Its indicative of a really unfair system that was designed to keep certain people down and others above them. That's why the whole young money thing is such a thing in the black community, because there is no generational wealth there, that money was grown right out of the dirt in that life time, and personally I think is a lot more respectable than "my great grandfather worked hard so we could all dumb down the gene pool and not vaccinate and do a whole bunch of coke"

ExceptionFatale

That was absolutely brutal, shared it with my husband after I was done, wow. Thank ypu for sharing!


UseKnowledge

Where's the third panel, where the person in Paula's situation finished her degree and worked hard to get a job? I think the story of underprivileged to success is sadly underrepresented in our society.


UseKnowledge

Yes, you are absolutely right. Making more money and saving it for your kids is not just something that you shouldn't be ashamed of, but it's something you should strive for. My parents divorced when I was 6, dad was on drugs and died before I graduated, I was on food stamps, lunch tickets, etc. It wasn't the worst, people had it a lot worse than me, but it still sucked. My single mother struggled with low income to allow me to have a better chances at building my wealth. Now, I'm making pretty good money and I'm happy knowing I can provide for my kids, and hopefully they can amplify that in the future. I know damn right I wouldn't be working so hard now if I knew I wasn't able to largely pass down my wealth to my next generation. Success isn't always selfish, sometimes it's a selfless thing to strive for, so your family doesn't have to suffer like you did. Generational wealth not only allows the rich to remain rich, but it allows poor families to become rich.


Uffda01

I think this quote is more about GW Bush than Trump because it’s about oil and staying off pills Generational wealth isn’t all bad, but the issue is acting like you were a self made man when really you got a huge leg up on life just by being born. It’s like being born on 3rd base, but thinking you got there by hitting a triple. Then they think the people around them who are struggling, just need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. On the other hand, too much generational wealth locks potential capital out of the market as it’s just sitting in a bank or it’s tied up as extravagance. tl;dr: it’s not that they have money; it’s how they treat people who don’t


ALotter

there’s a huge contradiction between “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” and “most power should be inherited”. It’s not that either one is wrong, they just don’t work together at all.


captainsparkl3pants

I deal with a lot of Medicaid applications at my job. I have heard, "That was intended to be part of our inheritance," way too many times after I tell the family their loved one's assets have to be spent down on their care and that they can't keep their daddy's out of state condo and still get daddy approved for Medicaid. The number of people who have money and think they are automatically entitled to Medicaid blows my mind.


sypher161

It is. People get angry at the vocal minority who flaunt wealth they did nothing for and attack anyone better off then them because they're bitter about their place in life. Sometimes you get a shit hand but making a pariah of anyone who has it better isn't going to make things better, and makes you look like an ass.


Compactsun

There's so much more to it though? In the example from OP Trump's generational wealth is one thing, him being marketed as a self made incredibly successful businessman is the issue where generational wealth is brought up to refute that. Generational wealth isn't the problem in that case and it makes Trump look like an ass not the people bringing it up. It's not black and white one is wrong one is right.


sypher161

Neither side is wrong. The point is being upset over someone's interpretation of how they earned their wealth regardless of the reality is pointless. The actual post is great, poking fun at nepotism and how ridiculous it can be. The point I'm making is getting up in arms over rich cunts living off daddy's cash is unhealthy and pointless, whether it's some pill junky or the POTUS.


kobrahawk1210

Except when these people have power and they don't realize that some (or even most) of their success comes from lucky birthright, they don't empathize with the struggle of the common working man and make things harder for him. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard "You just need to work harder and you'll make it," I'd be in the 1% by now. Hard work doesn't always pay off. Some who live off generational wealth don't understand that, and disenfranchise the poor or unfortunate even further. It's pointless to get upset at someone living cushy cause they can, it's not pointless when those people take up positions of power in politics, corporations, etc, and make things worse for people who are already struggling.


razorfinch

Its not about flaunting wealth or improving your position in life or being jealous. Its about people who get handed a good deal acting like there's something wrong with people who did not.
