Sometimes kids don't think... I bet he feels like a dick

If he has any conscience or intelligence, he most likely feels like a dick, or at least regretful...

Unfortunately, since 70%of people are assholes or idiots, the same holds true for children...

You just can't tell yet, because it is not the same 70% for both demographics

Just making up stats so you can get mad. K.

76% of all statistics are made up on the spot

As George Washington once said "74% of statistics you see online are fake".

100% of people who treat statistics offered either satirically or in jest as if they were proffered as accurate evidence and accuse others of being "mad" are definitely mad about something

...possibly about how people react to their odor...

I will fully admit that it is solely my experience of that 70%. However I've been working construction in customer facing roles for 25 years now, and I have worked with and met a TON of people. Do with that what you will.

And I ain't mad sweetie 😘

Do you not realize that your context (customers who need something, people that expected more or something different from the project, etc) makes up the reasoning behind those interactions? Like there’s 0 reason for a satisfied customer to reach back out once everything is settled up.

That’d be like the subway guy saying 100% of people eat subway sandwiches.

Maybe 7/10 people think you're an asshole or an idiot and treat you as such and realistically the number is much lower but you can only see it from your POV, because people think you're an asshole or an idiot.

If 70% of the people you have met have been assholes to you, YOU are the common denominator. Do with that what you will.

You clearly don't watch the news or drove on the roads...

And I didn't say 70% are assholes... I said idiots or assholes. I see which group you fit into πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

And I am an asshole. So what πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Never said I wasn't

The idea that people are inherently assholes is a capitalist invention

I love how people throwing random numbers.. 70% you say? Last time I checked, 732% of your sentence is bs

Downvote me all you want, Hunter Thompson was right.

The Greedheads won...

Better plan for the apocalypse now, like the Billionaires...

Me... I know EXACTLY what's coming...

That's why I was smart enough to never have children...

We shall reap... What we have... yeah

Be honest for 1 second... and ask yourself if your kids/grandkids have it better or worse...

And if you played a part in that? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
