Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 07, 2023

This coming from a guy that’s a janitor at a school when he doesn’t even need the money?

A Frugal Custodian ? free use of the swimming pool, athletic fields, etc.

They are a minor subset of everybody!

“Embrace the suck”? I’ve never heard that one.

They said he would say that!

“They” talk a lot, don’t “they”?

Try being funny…

Everyone thinks that nobody really believes any of that, or so they say.

Yo, Caulfield. You forget to eat the frog first!

Sounds like something they would tell slaves to make them accept being slaves.

But, the ‘not very many’ usually are those who have already ‘ridden out the storm.’ or ‘faced the facts,’ or ‘accepted who they are,’ or ‘made 7 the hard way.’

Translation “Get used to having less, kid, we’ve already crapped the bed, and we expect you to clean it up.”

Local town administrator, told me Everyone knows – - She got the lecture that everyone is an absolute and that includes some kid in Botswana sweeping his uncle’s barn. It got reduced to a lot of people around here know and now you do.

‘They’ are the ones not actually doing those things. Just looking for some Useful Idiots to do them instead.

I like the first quote the others belie the first. Don’t embrace the suck, “do the hard thing”, fix the suck. Don’t get comfortable with being uncomfortable, “do the hard thing”, fix the problems making you uncomfortable.

“Do the things that I do so that you can be more like me, because everyone should be like me.” – a lot of people, if they were being honest

I have never understood the idea that there is nobility in suffering; suffering sucks, and i don’t embrace that.

“They” are usually people who are determined to make things hard, and make things suck and make things uncomfortable.

Their god is Elon Musk.

Funny and Probably the most important thing you’ll ever learn today.

“Embrace the suck” is a common term in the military. You know it’s going to be hazardous, you know it’s either going to be torrential downpour/freezing blizzard/unbearable heat/no sleep/bad decisions/lousy odds…but you signed a contract to go in that direction. Embrace it, you’ve got to have someone’s six.

In my case it’s always been Efficient = Lazy + High Standards

“They” are “many” and also “some.” It’s a fungible quantity for use when the person using the term has no actual data to back it up.
