    Let me help clear it up for you

    Not being able to afford first class plane tickets isn’t suffering

    They cant afford to travel at all, let alone an(y) airplane ticket.

    Just like the weirdos here who think the world is abusing them because the price of RAM went up and and their $3000 Gaming PC is now $5000.

    The gripe is an $850 gaming PC is now $3000

    This idea that everyone is ‘suffering’ is so utterly absurd and akin to hippies thinking we are all ‘unenlightened’ because we’re not constantly tripping balls on lsd.

    We cant afford LSD

    Have you ever been hungry? slept in the freezing cold? lived without medical or dental care? That is legitimate struggle and suffering. Not being a whiny bitch about how you’re not rich enough to afford luxuries that could feed people for years…

    • We are hungry (grocery prices are insane right now)
    • We arent cold, we are hot (global warming)
    • we cant afford medical or dental visits. Opting out as much as we can so we can buy groceries (see above)
    • We definitely cant afford luxuries. We cant even buy something as necessary as our own home. We are renting because we dont have a down payment. We cant save for a down payment because landlords keep jacking up rent.

    truth is maybe if folks did legit suffer they’d have more perspective on life. Daddy not buying you a Porsche for your birthday isn’t suffering, Daddy beating you on your birthday for wanting a birthday cake is. And sadly way too many people can’t seem to understand the difference anymore.

    Trust me, we have a ton of perspective that anyone who isnt in the bottom 50% of the poverty could never understand. Daddy owns a barely functional truck and has 3 teeth left to chew with. He was a jerk when we were kids, and has calmed the fuck down since he isn’t able to realistically abuse anyone anymore.

    Maybe you are too well off from whatever success you had during covid. If you want to be around people who are truly suffering, go volunteer at a food kitchen and feed the homeless.

    Lets help people.

      You mean people should help you afford recreational drugs and a gaming PC?

      You are the problem with the world. It’s ok, you’re in good company though, most folks think exactly the way you do. Everything is about them and their struggles, and nobody had it harder than them. Doesn’t matter if they make 5,000, or 5,000,000 a year… the song and dance is exactly the same. No matter how poor or how rich it’s always ‘give me your money, I deserve it more than you do’.

      I have volunteered. A lot of people in those situations are not suffering, they are just piece of shit who have chosen a life of exploitation rather than being productive members of society. A grifter is a grifter, whether they are homeless or Donald Trump.

      You sound a lot like Trump, just scale everything up a few powers of ten.

        What do you mean when you say:

        they are just piece of shit who have chosen a life of exploitation rather than being productive members of society

        ?

        Also, not sure why you’re coming at me. Was just pointing out what you see vs the struggles I see. A comparison of struggles we see, if you will.
