    Why do you think that was one friend or something? That’s not living on someone’s couch.

    And I have plenty of compassion for people actually trying to make their lives better. I have zero compassion for people that sit there and just blame everyone else, thinking they should get everything handed to them.

      Would you be this toxic if you had help when you were younger instead of left to fend for yourself? I honestly don’t get your world view, it’s honestly depressing. Lazy seeming to you may be someone in shock and not knowing what to do because they’re overwhelmed. Why would you not want help for others that you didn’t get? It didn’t make you stronger, it made you hard and judgemental for some reason. I’m glad you got out but damn if you’re not pulling up the ladder behind you.

        I haven’t been toxic. Toxic is the prevailing attitude online, at least on Lemmy, that nobody should have to work for anything and everything should just be free, never mind that someone has to actually work to make that shit they want for free.

        Toxic is the attitude that anyone who isn’t working at a minimum wage job subsisting on ramen just lucked into it without any work at all

        I am all for helping people. I have personally helped a ton of people that have needed it. I’ve given my couch, my truck, money, food, stuck my neck out for people for jobs, clothes, you name it. I love lifting people I care about up. What I hate is trying to help someone that just leeches off of others and gets mad when you cut off the help. And I’ve been around enough to see that most people complaining online are that person.

          How would you know that and who made you judge and jury? Wouldn’t you want to help a few too many people with some who may not need it, than not helping enough? Good luck man, you seem resentful that others aren’t having to suffer instead of being happy they got out. As far as complaining, all I see is people like you complaining that people don’t want to work. I think this is my last comment, have a good weekend.
