There was hope then at least - eating ramen and working three jobs because the degree and the work was supposed to make things better. But then hitting your thirties and realizing that the mistake you made wasn’t being born wealthy.
It gets worse when you get a kid, cant sleep at night, and a house mortgage for life. Just figured I would cheer you up. :p
no need to wait
Hold up, am I crazy or is this showing that the temperature at the North pole was 15 °C in January? What’s the source of the picture? What were usual readings in previous years?
I think it means 15C warmer than before the industrial revolution
I think it’s showing it’s 15 degrees warmer than normal, if I read it right.
It’s chill, we’re all gonna die of cancer from all the microplastics in our brains anyway. Or in Civil War II or something. Whatever.
I have terrible news about your 30s…
I just hope my 40s suck less. I’m almost stable and my country is probably going to collapse. And then the ecosystem around us will follow suit, yaaaay…
I have some people to jointly buy land with, and a zero waste, zero emission farm plan in place to weather the storm. Maybe. If we can all get our shit together super soon… it won’t be much but it’ll be ours and we’ll defend it fiercely. It’s the American way.
We’ll definitely be a local stop on the railroad, though, and I already know others who will do the same.
In your 40s your body begins to break down. Often your mind slows down too. And you’ll have people relying on you, whether at work as a senior colleague, your children, your aging parents/other relatives, your friends whose bodies have begun to break down, or whatever responsibilities/opportunities you’ve taken in your various communities.
They’re gonna be wishing ramen was as cheap as it was when they were young.
/me cracks egg into ramen
This is why you can’t afford a house

The new avocado toast.
Shitty? Those were the best times, it’s all downhill from there.
This is so true for real. When I was in my 20s it’s true, I had ramen almost every day, but I also had a constant friend group I was always around. I never went to college but I was close with highschool friends for years, until mid to late 20s. Then it just… Stopped.
The crazy thing is, when i was in my 20s, it was a common joke on the internet that people in their 30s or earlier don’t have friends. I always thought that is some post rafe comic le funny meme. I had so many friends that i saw daily. I had too many friend groups, too much things to do with them. At the end of my 20s it suddenly stopped. It wasn’t that one friend after the other had a change in lifestyle or whatever, but now getting 4 friends together at the same time, seems utopian. One of my friends got married and like 6 of us met to have a good time together. Everyone was like: why don’t we do that more often? We should do that again. That was over 2 years ago and we in fact did not do that again.
All that ramen is probably imported from Asia, so pound for pound quite an environmental travesty.
Actually a lot of it is made in the US. Shin Ramen, for example, is from Korea, but all the packages I’ve seen are made in a factory in California.
What’s this “waiting” bullshit?
And more ramen!
The same logistics and industrial development that allows you the luxury of studying to increase the value of your work output, the luxury of ennui that gives you philosophical dread on your idle hours while others would kill to be on your not-working-in-cobalt-mines shoes while being fed and safe enough to sleep, all this while having thrived up to an age that for most of human history has basically senility, is the one that gives you the climate change
You know what you need to do.
