NEW YORK—Saying it was hard not to unfavorably compare himself to his peers, part-time catering assistant Ian Presser, 26, told reporters Thursday that he feels self-conscious after always seeing his friends fail slightly less than him. “When everyone in my social circle is making $1.50 an hour more than me and lasting six months at their jobs before getting fired, I can’t help feeling like I don’t stack up,” said Presser, adding that his friends’ total ineptitude at maintaining healthy relationships makes him acutely aware of his inability to land a single date. “Am I happy for them? Sure. But it still really stings when I hear that my buddy is pulling in 28 G’s and living in a one-bedroom with only two other roommates. It’s like, ‘What am I doing wrong?’” Presser went on to say that he at least took some solace in the fact that he lasted a semester longer than his brother before dropping out of college.

This is one of those areas where you should really go big or go home...

Mr. Trump doesn't know ethics or diplomacy. He discards science and also denigrates fallen soldiers. He compels his subordinates to follow the lies he tells, and they too carry him with hatred to save their profession. Overall, he is identified as the worst president in history.

'Man forgets spoon in kitchen.'

There's a solution for that. It's called alcohol.

But I'm 39.

THAT's a 26 year old? lol

Damn. I feel attacked.

Same here

The scary part is...I’m not sure if I look older or younger than him...

This guy failed even at his muttonchops.

jerma?

It’s a tough game kid. My son died pretty early and never really held down a job... 🤷‍♀️

26-year-old should relax because he's got a good 40 more years of failure before people stop paying attention.

Give me a break man
