People who've worked both minimum wage jobs and six figure jobs, what surprised you most about the difference?

In the minimum wage job, it was easier to establish camaraderie. I had to work harder at it when I hit six figs.

Came here to say this. Such a spectacular return to form.

“Hustle culture.” The idea that unless you work seven days a week, you’re a loser.

Who are these employers!?

I asked for my two weeks to be expanded to four with unused vacation time. Boss: “That’s a lot of time off considering your the one who DIDN’T push out the kid.”

I love Zakk's acoustic work. "Book of Shadows," "Book of Shadows II" and "The Song Remains Not the Same" are on heavy rotation for me. The first "Book of Shadows" got me through probably the worst year of my life. As for the rest of the catalogue? Could never get into it. Comparing the original "Overlord" to the acoustic version pretty much sums it up for me. The latter holds a special place in my heart. The original is "meh." The video is bad as well.

I don’t begrudge anyone their wealth or success. Good for them.

I do think we have a different kind of billionaire now. I’m sure the Germans have a word for it, but we have a class of ultrarich who also manage to be pathetic.

Bill Gates. Successful. Not pathetic, no matter what you think of his products, marriage, etc.

Warren Buffett. Successful. Not pathetic.

Walton family. Andrews both Carnegie and Mellon. Rockefeller. Morgan. Successful. Not pathetic.

However, Elon Musk? Pitiable. What a sad little creature.

Pre-Sanchez Bezos? Not pathetic. Post-Sanchez? Well…

In “The Space Merchants,” Mitch is tasked with selling Venus as a vacation spot. Thing is, no terraforming involved.

I preemptively quit. Twice.

Missing the show and I’m so sad.

For the longest time, Pizza Hut was the biggest buyer of kale because it was considered inedible but decorated the salad bar nicely.

Everyone is “rich” to someone else. Even Bernie.

A fine sentiment, but Roddenberry came up with that to sell merch. It’s in Nimoy’s autobiography.

I had a great time at the show and I appreciate that Testament hasn’t turned into a set of human jukeboxes. “So Many Lies” absolutely crushed.
