It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to

"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

better paying job

a job that pays, as the name suggests, better (i.e. more), than minimum wage in your society, in your zeitgeist.
son: I want to work but I dont want to nigger at McDonalds or Burger King, or perform some other unqualified job.

father: I have a solution for you. Get an education, then pull yourself up by your boot straps and get a better paying job. Brandon, either become self employed, or go work in construction so you can later hopefully open your own construction firm.
