I worked for Rapid Robert's for like three weeks. Not inventory but behind the counter. That training class is fucking mind numbing. I was ready to give myself a TBI on that table just to spice up my day a bit.

No visible tattoos. No piercings. You will wear the company outfit exactly right or get sent home. If you lose the uniforms, it costs you like $300 for a new set. Hiring manager said he took one look at me and knew I would be a good fit. Then rambled about the art and science of convenience store work for half an hour. Who else was a good fit? Bunch of other white dudes.

They were so understaffed that homeless people would offer to clean and do trash duty for expired food and they fucking rolled with it.

I opened the company handbook and it says "Welcome to the most progressive c-store franchise in the Midwest."

It's very cheaply made and the finish work is awful. We had to fight to get the few things fixed that they agreed to fix. We had sewage backup in the basement because they installed a pump wrong. I'm pretty sure our deck stairs are only on cinder blocks because they didn't pour the pads under them. I feel like the house is probably actually worth about half what we paid for it. And compared to some of my neighbors we got lucky, they've had horrible issues. I'm currently watching them build the new houses in our subdivision and it's crazy how fast they're throwing them up.

You addressed your own misrepresentation of what I said.

It was going to be a waste of time from the beginning and I indulged you because I didn’t understand how you could possibly conclude anything other than the plain, simple english originally put forth.

Defining words was apparently necessary.

You've got to remember the thought process of the people here. If you present facts or rational statements, they block your posts. They hate facts. They simply aren't capable of thinking rationally or in a lot of cases, they're not capable of paying taxes, because they suck on the government tit.

Okay. I’m going to ignore everything I just read.

Your entire premise is flawed.

So let’s get to the heart of it, shall we?

“I see you don’t pay attention to those who disagree with you”.

“attention noun 1 the issue clearly needs further attention: OBSERVATION, attentiveness, intentness, notice, concentration, heed, heedfulness, mindfulness, regard, scrutiny; contemplation, consideration, deliberation, thought, thinking, studying, investigation, action.”

”pay attention an assortment of motivational tools is necessary to keep them in class and paying attention: LISTEN, be attentive, attend, concentrate on, concentrate on hearing, give ear to, lend an ear to; hang on someone's words.”

disagree verb 1 no one was willing to disagree with him: FAIL TO AGREE, be in dispute/contention, be at variance/odds, not see eye to eye, differ from, dissent from, diverge from; contradict, gainsay, challenge, oppose; argue, debate, quarrel, bicker, wrangle, squabble, spar, dispute, take issue, row, altercate, clash, be at loggerheads, cross swords, lock horns; informal fall out, have words, scrap; archaic disaccord. ANTONYMS agree”

Nowhere did I reference a specific party, save “you” and “those who disagree”.

To whom, then, could “attention” and “disagree” possibly be referring when the two participants disagreed?

As to the rest of the comment, “Enjoy your bliss” is a direct reference to “Ignorance is bliss”.

ignorance noun 1 his ignorance of economics: INCOMPREHENSION, unawareness, unconsciousness, inexperience, innocence; unfamiliarity with, lack of enlightenment about, lack of knowledge about, lack of information about; informal cluelessness; literary nescience. ANTONYMS knowledge, education

2 their attitudes are based on ignorance and fear: LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, lack of education; unenlightenment, benightedness; lack of intelligence, unintelligence, stupidity, foolishness, idiocy, denseness, brainlessness, mindlessness, slow-wittedness; informal thickness, dimness, dumbness, dopiness, doziness. ANTONYMS knowledge, education”

Personally, I prefer the short definition given by a friend from Australia. “It’s an insult meaning ‘unknowledgeable and too lazy or unwilling to study or learn anything’”. Unfortunately it doesn’t apply here.

Oh, I picked a special one too. Taylor made for you.

Debate noun I would welcome a debate on the reforms I there is renewed debate about NATO's defense role: DISCUSSION, exchange of views, discourse, parley; argument, dispute, wrangle, altercation, war of words; arguing, argumentation, wrangling, sparring, disputation, dissension, disagreement, controversy, contention, conflict, disharmony; negotiations, talks; dialogue, comment, interest; informal confabrap session; rare velitation, contestation.

verb 1 the board debated his proposal: DISCUSS, confer about, talk over, talk through, talk about, exchange views on, exchange views about, thrash out, argue, argue about, argue the pros and cons of, dispute, wrangle over, bandy words concerning, contend over, contest, controvert, moot; informal kick around, bat around; archaic altercate.”

Shall I define every word of both original replies or are you done misrepresent them?
