    I love my job and it pays me enough to not worry about it. The secret is living in any western country except the U.S.

        Yeah no way could you leave out Canada lmao. As soon as i graduate i’m fucking moving.

        Western Europe? Scandinavia? China? Uhh Albania? No idea yet. As long as it’s not this soulless nightmare petrostate. Fuck the rent here and fuck the work culture.

        Ridiculously expensive housing without the salaries to match. But at least I don’t have to worry about going broke if ever someone in the family gets sick I guess.

      Right, because there isn’t rampant capitalism and wide spread poverty pretty much everywhere else too… 🙄🙄🙄

      (am in UK and you’re full of shit. I recommend checking your privilege, or at least taking your head out of your ass long enough to have a look around)

      People just HAVE to keep changing established terms to feel special, I guess. For example, I’ve noticed people used to say “X got that Win!”, then it changed to “Y fr earned that W”, and today I saw someone say “Z deserved that dub”.

      Wonder what the next evolution could possibly be…

    Work culture is being tuned to the point that everyone is miserable in it except those that find the work itself to be pleasure in a “hustlegrind sigma mindset” culty way.

    I’ve saved enough to quit working, but I keep working for health insurance and the capitalist money hoarding mentality. In my mind I know I’d be happier retiring early, but my lifetime of hoarding won’t allow me to endure the opportunity cost.

      I mean… yes? Who doesn’t want everything for free? Who likes to pay for things? There’s a reason people jump at the chance to get free stuff.
