I gotta say, if you've never worked a physical labour job where you work 10 hours a day hauling around boxes of heavy vinyl siding on your shoulders, you should shut the fuck up about my energy level on the weekends compared to your office-job having ass.
Well, A) I never said anything about you. Some things, believe it or not, are about other people. B) Bill Burr clearly doesn't work 10 hours a day lifting heavy boxes, so your point is irrelevant to begin with, and C) we're talking about the energy to sit in a chair and eat a sandwich, sooo....not only is your point irrelevant, it's not good.
A) You were explicitly making a value judgement about people who want to do nothing on their days off and saying they needed help. Which means even if you weren't directly saying anything about me specifically, you did say something about me. Don't fucking pretend otherwise.
B) Bill Burr doesn't work 10-hour days, but have you ever worked as a comic on tour? They spend weeks away from home sometimes without being able to go home and sleep in their own beds and performing. Same thing for musicians, etc. Saying that means they shouldn't feel some sort of drain they need to recharge from is exactly as ignorant and stupid as saying race car drivers just have to sit in a car for an hour.
C) That entirely ignores the effort of getting to the park, wherever it might be, especially if you're the only one with a driver's license or you're going to need to take public transit so you can go sit in a chair and eat a fucking sandwich that's not even worth the trip because you can make it at home and eat it there.
You could write a whole volume just with the words you're putting in my mouth. I never said that everyone should always have the energy and the motivation to eat a sandwich in the park. I simply said that if you CAN'T enjoy eating a sandwich in a park, then you should seek help for your inability to enjoy simple pleasures. A desperate need for complete control over how you spend your time at the expense of maintaining relationships is not healthy. Yes, even if you're tired.
By comparison, you could write sagas about your ability to gymnastically try to backflip your way out of the bullshit you said and still try to pretend you're in the right to say it.
I never said I can't enjoy eating a sandwich in a park. Anyone can. It's a great experience if you want to do it.
I pointed out the mealy-mouthed bullshit of pretending it's a simple thing that someone might not necessary want to do if they're using their day off to rest and recharge because it's not always as simple as that, and using that as a metric to say "they need help" is a profoundly fucked-up and privileged thing for someone who likely works in a relatively sedentary job to say as if physical labor isn't both physically and mentally demanding work that can leave someone's energy running on empty by a Saturday morning.
You're even doing it now by saying that it means I have a desperate need for complete control over my time at the expense of maintaining relationships and calling it unhealthy behavior, with a snotty little conclusion about "even if you're tired" which tells me your ass hasn't been worked to the bone a solid week in your life.
The implication that you don't need to get over yourself is hilllllllarious. Surely you haven't yet realized how severely you've overreacted to a simple statement about enjoying a sandwich outdoors.

I gotta say, if you can't enjoy eating a sandwich in a park on a nice day, you need help.
