    My doctor told me the best way to heal my back was to take a few weeks off work. She didn’t understand why I was laughing my ass off, till I reminded her that most people don’t get paid time off. Doctors kinda live on the moon in terms of what the rest of us can get

      most people don’t get paid time off

      WTF really? I know workers get fucked really bad in the US, but do most people not get time off at all?

      That’s American problem, I suppose. In the UK and even the 3rd world country like mine, we were paid at least 2 weeks off when working full-time.

      I’m sorry but you seem to be mistaken.

      Billionaires are a different species and we don’t have enough research data to refer to in order to determine what mental illnesses, if any, they might have.

      Don’t lump them in with the rest of humanity because they aren’t even people anymore. They are inhuman scum that has mistakenly evolved. A fucking virus. We went out of our way to eradicate smallpox but unfortunately we haven’t successfully purged Billionarisim from humanity. Whether that’s through legislation or bloodshed, I don’t care. They need to be removed from society.

      How? Natural state shouldn’t be negative a state.

      The lol isn’t in quotes so it not the doctor laughing just the narrator laughing at the situation they are in.

    Depression and feeling sad over sad things aren’t the same thing. A lot of people who experience depression may not realize that their feelings go beyond just feeling blue sometimes. Really sounds like the doctor is right to raise this as a potential issue.

    That’s when I tell him I’m mostly just anxious about my prostate and make him check. What a tool

    That doctor lied.

    It may not be every person every second of every day, but it is way too common to pretend that “doesn’t everyone” isn’t accurate enough
