It took me till I was 24 to go to college. Now I’m set with a great government job and I just have to hold the line until I can buy a house. I work to live not live to work. What am I doing with my life? Spending it caring about the people I care about.
For anyone who resonates with this comic remember two things: it’s never too late and your job won’t define your value.
I’ll die on this hill with you fellow person of culture.
The banality of evil certainly wasn’t invented by Nazis and it definitely didn’t end with them
Well it’s been a chat but I’m gonna go. Good luck with the doomsday prepping.
I feel like at that point you’re kinda moving the goalposts. Your question was a condescending one about what I’ll do “when this country collapses” not about climate change.
Climate change as a whole is another issue and not one that knowing how to use a hammer or fix a plumbing issue is going to magically spare you from. I’m doing what I can to prepare for the realities that might follow but as you point out, nothing and no one but the billionaires are safe (and probably not even them considering their staff are still real people and not robots).
I’m not having kids, I’m living small, but I’m also not living in fear of what I can’t control. Fuck man, we’re ex-redditors for crying out loud. We don’t I Am Legend a way out of this, we don’t magically survive because we went camping a lot. Get real and stop kidding yourself that your career will make one lick of difference unless it puts you in reach of billionaires and their private bunkers.
I know you mean well, but it’s not a good look.
Fun fact: there are people who don’t live in the United States, we exist.
Personally I don’t give a fuck about blue collar vs white collar. We’re all working class in the end dude, and basing your whole life’s trajectory around fear is a very sad way to live. God knows it’s possible to have hobbies that are practical without making them your life.
I hope you find some way to deal with your anxieties instead of letting them rule you.
This is a super shitty comment you wrote here dude. Gen Z isn’t having life handed to them any more than we millennials did. If anything it’s worse for them because inequality isn’t getting any less striking.
I’m a millennial who has a remote, work from home job, go ahead and shit on my career. Gen Z are our friends and allies in the end, they understand pretty well what we went through and they’ll almost certainly go through worse because gestures vaguely at the state and trajectory of everything. The pain Olympics suck and someone’s suffering doesn’t invalidate yours.
We gotta use the empathy the boomers didn’t, we need to be better and not continue generational infighting or the only people who win are the rich.
I don’t think he knows about the second galactic civil war, PIp
As a lover of video game music, thank you for sharing
I love your version of the X-Men and their crossovers more
This entire thread talking about how a distro is better than the next because you “only” have to update keyrings to update so even basic users should get it.
Longer short answer: yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss
I dunno, I’ll have to do my own research on this one, my third cousin’s dog walkers nephew’s barber said he read a tweet declaring they were actually the same animal, just one ate more as a youth and has an accent due to the weight.
Shame the instance mods can be jerks
Eh, I try to own my own insecurities. I haven’t seen the movie in ages so I was mostly going off of hairstyle and gang leader status over his face anyhow.
I mean, if you mistake a person of a different race from you as someone else of that race, there’s always going to be some eye narrowing.
Same, but I was afraid to voice it in case I was wrong and opening myself up to some accusations 😅
Usually it’s a bit of a discount
Fascism must always have an outgroup, as soon as one stops mobilising the base they introduce another.
I got laid off in March of 2020, shit was burning down and I decided I’d use the time to improve myself and go to college at 24. Now I’m 28 with a government job, a loving girlfriend and a plan to buy a house this year. Plant. The. Tree.
