The Effete - Down to Earth (Real) Axis/Scale ?

[HVC]

I'm poor and don't do manual labour. What do I get to brag about?

[Caliga]

Cal strikes me as a quite down-to-earth poster.

In general, yeah- CCR's ability to still give off the "dim, smoky poker table" vibe even while debating tactics of the Roman Legions gives him the edge, though.

I would agree with this.

That you don't do manual labor. That is for the plebs.

You're an accountant, that makes you lower middle class at worst.

[katmai]

Uh....I guess what I do Is manual labor, but I'm not poor.

[HVC]

I'm an unchartered accountant who gets underpaid lol.  working in both though. School for my designation and looking for another job. Always funny when recruiters ask how much I make and they seem awkwardly surprised/pitying when I tell them.

[Caliga]

Our accountants are paid very well but AFAIK every single one is a CPA.

[katmai]

I told you going into accounting was mistake!

[HVC]

Aren't CPA's bottom rung accountants in the states?  Other countries designations confusion. Every has the same abbreviations for different things lol

[HVC]

I told you going into accounting was mistake!

that you did. But you didn't give me an alternative beyond summer help at your stand

[Ideologue]

I'm not ashamed of being poor, but then I'm poor because I lack ambition and am not really all that interested in material gain.  OTOH, Ide's poor because he has no work ethic, so I'm not going to let him grab the low ground.

You can go fuck yourself.  Is that manual labor?

You know nothing about my work ethic.  You think going to law school, even a mediocre one, involves just sitting on your ass doing nothing all day for three years?  Think I didn't bust my ass for my client in my clinical?  Think salads make their Goddamned selves?

Yeah, it's my work ethic.  The one that put me on a management track at my old job and the one that got me through an advanced degree.  Because in America, if you work hard, you get rewarded.  That shit's as true as it was in 1776.

One of these days you're gonna have to explain what your hard-on of hate for me is all about, dude.

On the contrary. CPA is the highest accountant certification in the States.

[Eddie Teach]

I lack both ambition and work ethic.

[Ideologue]

And deeps, if you were just playing around, that's fine.  But "Ideologue is a bad decisionmaker" and "Ideologue is lazy" are not the same thing.

You people run from grumbler on one end to Neil on the other.
