Is that a truth table of when it's appropriate to say "Get a job and stop crying"? Truth tables are just one of the many things I'm poor (ha!) at. (Also, jokes.)

I thought it would be more appropriate to have a truth table of when you fulfill the conditions of "Get a job and stop crying".

JOB | CRYING | (JOB ^ ¬CRYING)
 T  |    T   |       F
 T  |    F   |       T
 F  |    T   |       F
 F  |    F   |       F

Alternatively, we can make one of "If you get a job, you will stop crying", something which many people are asking about in this thread (e.g., "If I have a job, am I allowed to cry?")

JOB | CRYING | JOB ⇒ ¬CRYING
 T  |    T   |      F
 T  |    F   |      T
 F  |    T   |      T
 F  |    F   |      T

What follows from that is that if you indeed have a job and are still crying, then you are disproving the implication.

And no, I clearly don't have a job.
