Anyway know what I am talking about when I mention Stella's restaurant scene?
I still feel nauseated by that scene about an hour after watching it. Disgusting.
shareYeah... the waitress felt humiliated because those assholes put humiliation on the table. However, here's my take. Im a waitress, i get a 20k tip for licking a freaking table? Im licking it clean and smiling while doing it. They can look at me however they want and think its humiliating. Its all in MY attitude, not theirs.
shareWhat would you do for $50 bucks!? ;-)
shareFor 50 bucks? Say hello and shake your hand.
- I'm talking about 20k dude. I could buy a car with that money. In certain countries, I could buy a house with that money. Also - let me explain something again cause apparently the first time was unsuccessful:
I am the person that chooses the meaning of what I do.
What I do and what it means to ME, that's what matters in the end. How I live with myself.
So in this particular case, I notice 2 assholes who want to humiliate me by the situation they created. I weigh my options: I'm a waitress at a high end restaurant so I do pretty much ok but not golden. 20k would help me. It's a smart choice to do it regardless of what it means to them.
Again, what other people do and how they interpret what I'm willing to accept, they choose the meaning of that and that belongs to them. Because everyone is allowed to their own interpretation.
However, at the end of the day they go home with the satisfaction of being assholes, something they'll forget until the next day and I go home with 20k.
I'll also remind you that some people resort to prostitution in order to put food on the table. That's also humiliating yet they do it with no remorse. And I'm sure they don't get 20k for that. So licking water off a table while 2 assholes enjoy themselves seems like a sweet deal to me compared to that.
You're pretty insistent.
Doesn't mean you are right.
If you are right in your head it also doesn't mean it is so, reality exists outside your head.
> I am the person that chooses the meaning of what I do.
Ever heard of the phrase, "no man is an island"?
Anyway, what you say is what you say. It's truth value is nothing because you cannot prove it.
> That's also humiliating yet they do it with no remorse.
OK, now I see why you are lying. Because you use prostitutes and want to delude yourself into thinking they want to be there. You'll never know because part of the paying for it is not to be confronted with your delusions.
Hi, remember me? Its 3 months later and I just read your comment.
First off, kudos on knowing that when someone is insistent doesnt mean they are right. Congrats.
Hope this applies to everyone including you though.
Second. I am a woman. I do not use prostitutes.
Third and final: so, I believe strongly that its a smart thing to get 20k if someone is poor even if it involves humiliation bc I can choose how I feel about it regardless.
And you believe its too humiliating to do that.
Good.
However - is this world allowed to have opinions that are different than yours? Because it seems to me that after I had the 'audacity' to have my own opinion suddenly I am 'lying' and 'using prostitutes'.
Seems to me someone grew up quite insecure. Good luck with that.
> However - is this world allowed to have opinions that are different than yours?
Ask the world, tell me what it says.
> Second. I am a woman. I do not use prostitutes.
I have no idea, still, what you are. That was not a literal comment since I did not know then either.
Where do you draw the line? Not whether you are whore, that's been determined, you are dickering for price then. Some line from some show I saw or joke I heard.
