Lemmy is cheaper. Some don't have health insurance or do but it's garbage tier insurance.
The "work yourself to death" is a stupid boomer concept. It's a hugely negative aspect of traditional masculinity.
When people say weird stuff like this, I always question why. Why would you have a kid and then work so hard to be away from it? Why would you work for a company that will lay you off the moment it earns them a higher stock price to do so? (no modern company deserves your loyalty.) Why would you brag about suffering instead of relaxing?
I understand that we're all wired differently but those values literally don't make sense to me.
I wish. No one IRL treats me like this. Everyone's eyes glaze over or they freak out. There is no support.
Every vote counts. For Democracy!
This is my life story. Every day, I understand more and get closer to "old man lives alone with his dog in the woods"
Oooh this may be it. I've been told before that I do this. (the first paragraph)

If Bob feels wronged somehow take him out for a drink or dinner or so
I don't think Bob is ever gonna return my calls, heh.
It does sound like maybe buying Bob a beer
lol, I don't think Bob is ever gonna talk to me again.
Was Bob upset because he didn’t know that was your intent
I don't think so. I'm pretty up front about my goals. I messaged Bob and said that I am looking for a job and I want to ask Alice questions. Literally. "Could you introduce me or send my contact info over? I'd like to get an inside perspective about the work environment and ask more about the job."
I then asked questions like "can you introduce me to the hiring manager or send my contact info their way? Additionally, what's the work culture like? Are bosses on your case all the time or are they asking how they can help? Do people like working there or does everyone complain? What's the work hours like?"
That sounds like one of my parents. They are a narcissist.
They're doing it to save face and appear nice. They know they rules of society and push them as far as they can to gain advantage. If they know that being mean to you gets the same results as being nice, they will be mean.
