A modern doctor who is likely a scam artist because doctors today. And Jordan the unemployed grifter with a single mother daughter are going to tell me I need meaning and purpose.
No you two need meaning and purpose by finding jobs in manly workplaces. Women can mimic the role you are acting right now. Lots of women doctors these days because doctors are liars who simp for Big Pharma to get paid more. Female behavior to be sure. Also as a social media e-beggar you are a woman Jordan. The same category as Amouranth but thank God you aren't licking microphones for tips. Regardless you still take advantage of stupid lonely people who buy your attention with paid donations. Such meaning and purpose for real. According to people like you meaning and purpose = give welfare money to unemployed Sloths online. That's what you're after. You don't care about people otherwise you would have a real job and contribute like a Good man. Same with doctors. You can't trust any of them these days. Take your flu virus vaccine right? So the doctor can get paid with lobbying bonuses. As if they aren't overpaid enough to begin with. Considering how incompetent the entire healthcare industry is. Humans are unhealthier than ever. Assuming they make it past the abortion decision of the mother made possible by today's "healthcare" industry. Such healthcare. It's more of a military killing people if anything.
