Apparently I'm the one who's being oppressed and treated as inferior?
Should I flagellate myself or... what?
Go for it mate. Flagellate away. Nothing like a bit of self attention.

It's running out of Whiskey that I hate."
Is this on topic at all?

I've run out of whisky before. It was a harrowing experience. Not "harrowing" as in me an' my horse workin' the fields at the time "harrowing", but, y'know... it's just not a thing to be repeated! I'll not whip myself over it, though, mostly because that takes up time that would better be spent getting more whisky!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
