Sorry, I wasn't explaining myself well.

Just because a story isn't factually true, doesn't mean that it has no value, or negative value. There are other types of values which can supersede factual value:

  • aesthetic
  • symbolic
  • ethical
  • didactic

Truth isn't always about facts. Sometimes factual statements can be used as a weapon of deceit.

If a narrative is not literally true, does that mean it has no truth value?

Success is a combo of luck and work.

And connections. Grow and lean on your network, fellas.

For me personally, I want to limit interactions with my phone by ~~reading notifications on my wrist~~ increasing interactions with my watch

That just sounds like interactions with your phone but with extra steps.

I guess that's why they call it capitalism.

We don't know the size of the section, or the quality of the job.

So that could be: "God damn, that's cheap!" or "God damn, that's expensive!"

If he is getting tips, then it may actually be reasonable. Genuine question, do Americans normally tip the people who mow their lawns?
