That sub is stupid <| sep |> I was a dishwasher with minimum wage , and every day of the week I would get paid more than the waitresses except for Fridays and Saturdays . And sometimes Fridays I still ended up with more . Servers wages are a joke . <| sep |> I found it really interesting how you talked about the worldly mindset making it hard to connect with people who don ' t share the same beliefs . I ' ve had plenty of disagreements with some of my relatives i ' m singaporean regarding their beliefs on certain issues , which have stemmed from the fact that my mindset is quite different from theirs . It ' s quite ironic how a system that ' s supposed to create global citizens ends up making us unable to connect with people with different ways of thinking . I feel like being desensitized to close friends leaving with just a few months notice is slightly fucked up , but at the same time it does make adapting to new environments better since you get used to making friends with new people often . I also absolutely empathize with how you must ' ve felt when you started NS . I felt as sad then as I did the first time i had close friends leave . Then again , it probably would ' ve been the same had i proceeded to college anyway , so that ' s something to also keep in mind .
