TheLiarParadox 05/10/24 11:30:43 PM #6:	Yes. I grew up in a family of people who shit on every good thing anyone ever experienced, either intentionally or unintentionally. Someone always found some way to take someone down a peg and I resolved at a young age not to be like that. I like when good things happen to the people I care about. Or even people I don't care about tbh. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. <cite>TheLiarParadox posted [p:980340653] in Can you be... [t:80766777]...</cite> <quote>Yes.

Kradek 05/10/24 11:48:24 PM #12:	Yes, I try to be someone who lifts up others and don't really talk shit about or to anyone. I never modeled my sense of humor around insults/attacking the insecurities of others so I tend to be like oil and water with those kinds of people. Unless of course I feel like there's something worth insulting others over, which has more to do with views/expressed statements than looks or general behavior, however say someone wins a prize at work or whatever, instead of being bitter or jealous about it, I am genuinely happy for them, because I believe in elevating people, not dragging others down to where I'm at. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) <cite>Kradek posted [p:980340837] in Can you be...

Ivany2008 05/10/24 11:54:38 PM #15:	Yes, absolutely you can. I was extremely happy for my co-worker when she quit working Wal-Mart at the age of 50 and went to work at a day care despite not having any education. I've been extremely happy for a lot of people I've been around and haven't seen in many years, even when my own situation quite honestly, sucked. I'm not like the assholes I went to college with, who got it in their heads that everything was a competition. I genuinely wanted everyone in that program to pass with flying colours. I genuinely wanted everyone in groups to work together and help boost each other up, because there were 15 of us, and quite honestly, a lot of us weren't going to work in our own province, and my line of work has a high employment rate of distant workers, which is what I'm doing myself. Meanwhile, I've had one of my classmates tell me through discord "I'm glad you aren't interested in attending this online job faire, more jobs for the rest of us". Which was the day I got out of surgery for stage 1 cancer. And what ended up happening? It turns out the job faire wasn't even for us. It was for programmers, we were network administrators. <cite>Ivany2008 posted [p:980340899] in Can you be... [t:80766777]...</cite> <quote>Yes, absolutely you can.
