People got it real nice

Just went through a Reddit thread on actors who didn't like their costumes. A few came to mind for me, but eh, no point in naming off famous people I guess. Cause ultimately it's the same and I'd just be calling out a few people I've actually seen act versus tons of people I've never heard of. That's not really the point anyway. Kinda the point is that it really doesn't matter if it's Natalie Portman or Walton Goggins.

But Goggins' take especially struck me the wrong way I guess. Between both the power armor and cosmetics he wears in Fallout. Bro seems to be complaining about both and says he had a panic attack while wearing the power armor. AFAIK he's still on the show right? Still got a job, right? Elizabeth Olson didn't like the "deep cleavage" of her costume, eh? Or again, Portman and Star Wars. Apparently didn't like the dress that Lucas designed. Honestly, don't think I got that deep into the trilogy and kinda had a thing for both her and Keira. But then Keira became a pirate and damn. But she's cool tho. I watched PotC 3 after I had my gallbladder taken out, and it's legit a pretty cool movie. Pretty sure a lot of it didn't make sense cause well... Surgery and not seeing the previous 2. Dug it though.

Anywho, it just struck me as I read that, that you know what would happen to me working in manufacturing or construction or logistics if I didn't like my PPE or some tool I had to use was too small or uncomfortable? I'd be told to adjust or get fired. I read one story about a dude who worked on the Fantastic Four in the early 2000s getting a psychiatrist hired for him cause of his panic attacks. Like, really? I have panic attacks and they tell me not to bother showing up to work. These people get more money in a single job than I'd see in several lifetimes.

It's really wild to see how different shit is. They call sitting in a chair for hours getting makeup put on work. Shit, I wish I could sit in a chair. I often have to stand on heavy ass concrete floors all day in heavy ass boots like a legit storm trooper or some shit under heavy ass lights. Pharma was the worst too. The chairs in the breakroom were uncomfortable as fuck, and since you had to wear their jumpsuits you couldn't go outside or do anything. 8 hours a day under a bright fucking light whether it's on the floor where I had to wear two fucking hairnets for my head and my mustache or in the breakroom where they'd finally come off for a whole 15-30 minutes. And my favorite part is that if your line was down because the machinery is older America itself (not really, but a lot of it was from the mid-90s) they still expected you back onto the floor. It could take literally hours for maintenance to get shit up and running. Better not be caught sitting on the floor or the breakroom though. You could always sweep in a very clean area.

and no, the machinery isn't that old out of necessity, It's that old because the company has a long history of making bad decisions. They were recently sued by investors for over $100mn in a class action. Fucking bozos paid some irish firm billions for a specialized drug and their factory to sell rights to the drug and use Ireland as a home for its "HQ" solely for its tax benefeits. If they were smart they'd investigate the damn company and find it's really operating as a proper HQ not even an hour away from me here in America. Fucking bozos.

and honestly, aside from the jumpsuit thing pharma had the best work-life balance I ever had. It was one of the highest paying dead-end careers I ever had too. Dead-end career, because even though it's pharma you aren't getting off that floor unless you can give Sasha Gray a run for her money. Good luck.

Shits fucked man. You got women like Margot Robbie calling out dudes for idolizing Belfort, but like, really? What's wrong with that? Not all of us could play barbie even though I've got bigger boobs and more curves than her. No one trying to see my calloused af heels that don't feel shit though. Not even my doctors during diabetes exams.

Why the hell wouldn't people idolize him though? Bro had it all: a yacht, supermodels, and so much money he had nothing to worry about. Shits why people work all their lives and die with nothing to show for it. Some of them die well before their time like my friend mike who was a roofer for 25 years and only had stories like banging his babysitter and sleeping on patios in california to show for it. Like, you people really don't get how far fucking detached from reality you really are. Holy shit. I'm pretty sure with a little hollywood trickery they could easily show off more cleavage from me than Elizabeth Olson in that costume. Shit isn't getting me anywhere except fired.

Busted my ass off working 60+ hour weeks in environments where most people literally didn't last a week so I could use my programming skills to learn how to deconstruct and clean machines. While people are out here bitching about cosmetics and makeup. And no one tells them to work harder. No one tells them shit. They beg to suck their dick doesn't matter if it Margot or Walton. Yeah, fuck it, idgaf about gender or sex. We're not supposed to right? Women are supposed to have dicks big enough to wrangle planets into Earth's gravitational pull too if they want, right? It's all just a social concept, right?

Doesn't do shit to protect the working class poor, but that's not the point. You might risk hurting one of the elite's feelings, and the best part is when they try to act like they're like us. Yeah, I could see them negotiating with armed mettheads using a knife to tell a teenager they got a place where that teenager can sleep for a few days. Happened to me and I got out alive, but most people aren't getting out of it with all their shit too like I did. Fucking slept on a park bench with that shit too and still got it to this day. Not much though and nothing to brag about.

and all people ever do is tell me how I'm wrong and need to work harder cause no one is begging to suck my dick. Can't imagine why someone like me would idolize Belfort though. Can't imagine why someone like me would think normal people, let alone the elites want us dead. Can't imagine any of it. Someone call Emma Watson so she can get Sherlock on the case cause we need a fucking expert here. Shits a total fucking mystery.

I fucking hate you people.
I fucking hate everyone.
