    When they rigged the system against you after squeezing every last bit of resources for themselves, then acted like you were just irresponsible and don’t get why you’re horribly depressed being left with a hopeless wad of shit behind every corner and under every stone

      Whining about how things work is all you can do? This is how the world works. If you can change anything about it, please do. Else, stop this shit or use the only way you can to escape this world.

        How about I do it to the world instead? People like you are why I joined the SSBN force, so I can get a front row seat when I get the order to flip the switch and set 1SQ.

            Submersible Ship, Ballistic Missile, Nuclear Powered. Aka, a strategic nuclear submarine capable of carrying up to 24 submarine launched ballistic missiles, each capable of carrying in excess of eight thermonuclear reentry vehicles, each capable of delivering in excess of ten Hiroshimas. Condition 1SQ is the condition set for launching these SLBMs, set only upon receiving a validated and authenticated Emergency Action Message.

      It’s like all the good advice got monetized and now all that’s left is wage slavery or a creative path to getting your chin above water.

          Unfortunately, I learned this after I took on a few thousand in student debt. It took a hell of a lot of work, and it certainly isn’t for everyone, but I’m now a self-taught front-end web dev making a decent salary. The trick is to learn some kind of skill and know it like the back of your hand.

    It doesn’t really get better though.

      I was 48 before things started turning around for me. It’s amazing what finally getting a stable job and sleep can do for mental health.

      I hope you find what meets your needs, friend.

        I feel like I’m a late starter too, only now in my 30s do I have my shit together and have a good job. Definitely has helped mental health, I still am working out things but it’s better. So glad I finished university and got a good degree.

      For me, life goes in cycles. Some cycles are really bad, some are good (or awesome) and some are bland and/or neutral. As I get older, life is getting more steady and predictable and things don’t bother me as bad as they used to.

      For me, I am not nearly as stupid as I used to be. Combining that with not being a drunk anymore, I don’t do too many things I regret these days. That is nice, I suppose.
