I'm saying it's not 100% luck and anyone who thinks it is is just a crybaby sore loser

In the eyes of whom? Society? Why should I care? Self fullfilment is more important

Balance it nigger, if you're living alone 4 days of work is enough to sustain yourself and your hobbies, why would you work 6 days a week? Ive been there and that shit would make anybody depressed.

>wait mike we need to splatter some clay on your face... perfect!
yyyaawwwwn

Hard work is the absolute worst thing you can do for your professional development, making yourself indispensable in a position ensures that you will never get promoted and your boss won't give you a reference if you threaten to leave, you're just giving the company total power over you by giving it labour that it's not paying for.

Always do only the minimum required of you and try to make your boss like you instead.

Fucked. Beyond fucked. It's hopeless.

There isn't going to be a boiling point. There will be no grand moment where everything is flipped and from there it gets better. Everything is going to perpetually get worse.

No one is coming to save us.

You'd be fucked either way. Your generation is the fall of humanity, the zoomers and millenials.

Your post reminds me of something I cannot stand
>Live at home with parents
>Work 5, sometimes 6 days a week
>When I get home I just want to fucking relax, and usually spend my off days just playing games or watching stuff in my room
>Parents "You know it's not healthy for you to spend all day in your room"
I'm fucking tired and already spend my entire day out at work, I should have the goddamn luxury to sit in my room on my time off without getting criticized for it

So maybe you should've churned out a better fucking generation.

Is there a place where universal income is a thing yet? I'm really not keeping up with that shit, i'm not that desperate yet.

Very, despite what neoliberals and neoconservatives will try to tell you. Don't worry, things will change in the 2020s. I'm not a time traveler or even affiliated with anything, but be prepared for shit to go down.

He isnt wrong, any millenial with a modicum of self awareness will notice this. The problem with what a lot of boomers do is just end the statement there, turning it into a blame and shame game.

If only Gen X teamed up with us in the 2000s, instead of giving up and bowing to their Boomer overlords.

Like fuck they do, I got pushed to operating machinery 6 months into my employment while people 20 years in the company were stuck breaking their back, and in the 4 years I’ve been there not a single fucking manager had been internally promoted rather than brought in fresh from outside the company.

We are pretty fucked. I don't think retirement is even going to be a thing in the future, but I honestly don't think this current world is going to last another 40-50 years.

Don't worry. In about ten more years, the Democratic party will be full-on communist, and your low wages will be replaced with bread and water. You'll have to wait in line for a bit but you'll be guaranteed food just like everyone else. You'll even get extra if you're a minority.

>why are gamers so lazy and self-centered?
Because playing video games is more fun than being a productive member of society. Some people manage to do both, but getting a job and paying taxes ain't got shit on being a NEET gamer.

By the way, if anyone tells you that UBI is ultra-socialist, tell them that we almost had it in the 1970s under a conservative government. The only reason why it didn't pass was because 500 dollars a month wouldn't have been enough to properly survive back then, so Democrats protested against it. But, instead of Dems and Repubs working out their differences and finding a common number ground above 500, it was thrown out.

I think America needs some kind of great goal to work towards to. Something we can all unite under for once. This probably sounds ridiculous but I do kind of believe we have had too much peace and freedom to the point where it has affected society and everyone has become numb in the mind and everything is taken for granted. Which just leads to even more exploiting by the fat cats. It's already been said but I definitely think that something will eventually give out in the future. Who knows what it will be though.

Don't fucking do it. The stress, the headaches, the shitty feeling - that's your body telling you not to go there. You're basically killing yourself. Cancer is related to stress and your body deteriorating from all the shitty food we consume. What is the point of making all that money if you're going to be miserable and will probably have health issues, both mental and physical.
Stop being a stupid goy and get a part time job that keeps you afloat financially, but also doesn't stress you out to death. Don't fall for the hamster wheel success stories - they're bullshit.
