(For context, the friend is bugfuck nuts, not the sort of person you want as a friend or coworker.) At this point you should admit you are privileged. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 15 points 11 months ago* (1 child) I’m not arguing with your point that a lot of people have no choice about going to work, but why is your wife scared?
