If you knew you were working on a technology that would change the world would you put every waking hour into it for 5 years?

we are all gonna die.. aiming for progress is an illusion

no because the democrats would still call me a racist masonistic homophone

This. Literally can’t do anything, no matter how helpful, without inspiring controversy among snowflakes these days.

Well, for one thing, the guy who invented the Segway knew that he would change the world. But anyway, no, you'll burn out trying to do that.

i already am :)

he didn't legitimately think that he thought he could sell it like apple but people weren't that retarded yet

Part of the problem for me is, I can't feel like I can achieve even a basic standard of living. I can't even hold down a job. I don't know how I would be able to do something like that. I want to change the world and I want to express myself and I want to do great things but life won't let me and I find it impossible.

move out of california

>move out of california
I live in Vermont I've been here for a few months before that I lived in Maine my whole life. I don't really have much of a choice about where I'm living and I don't have the means to get elsewhere so that's not an option

Why is California the answer?

>I don't really have much of a choice about where I'm living

you can go anywhere you want if your willing to work for it. do you have a car?

not the answer california is the problem. Too many people think that they don't have a good life unless they own a big house near a beach because of what they see on TV and facebutt.

you don't want to live in a state where even the rich can't afford the home prices.

Yes I have a vehicle. I have a CDL license as well and I've done over the road truck driving. I know I could go wherever but that's not the issue. The issue is I can't go anywhere because I can't hold down a job and if I can't hold down a job I need the financial support from my family and I can only do that if I live near them.

bottom line, even if I could go somewhere it would just make it worse because I couldn't hold down a job there either.

Dude stay in the northeast with the white people. Its worse everywhere else.

I've been fortunate for most of my life. I decided to go to college because I knew I wanted to be a software engineer since I was in 5th grade. My passion drives me. I dont know how I've gotten into the positions I'm in now except truly faking it until I make it sort of thing.

My friends tell me I work harder than everyone else they know but it's hard to see that when everyone I work with puts in a ton of hours on this project.

If you really want to change the world find something you're passionate about and work towards that goal for at least a few hours a week.

Imagine writing a message for aliens in english

>CDL license
unless you are working on greatly improving the trucking industry that is useless.
What are you doing exactly?
You should look into an offshoot of what you are working on since you already have a passion for it.

why can't you hold down a job?

racist

I'm well aware of that I'm going to stay in the Northeast

imagine being so intelligent you can find a tiny probe in the immense nothingness of space but your too stupid to decode a written language

I almost went to full sail University to learn how to make video games out of high school because I've always been talented with technology and I now know how to fix and repair arcade machines and I learned how to 3D model and how to start making the game in high school

the problem is I couldn't handle the educational environment in high school and almost completely failed out and I know I would fail out of college especially with the compacted high speed learning environment that's required to pass their classes

Good im Looking to relocate to Vermont or Maine myself.

well that little phrase was just on one of the chips on Falcon Heavy. The orbit of the Roadster is roughly between mars and earth so they were likely pretty confident no alien would see that and just made it for the lols. gotta have fun at work.

reject... you get to that point by junior year in computer science. that's why it's easy to be able to start a job and work 10-12 hour days and take your work home with you and that's why CS grads deserve 100k to start.

you act as if complete devotion is... special.

Technically, anything you do will change the world to some extent

Huge amounts of depression and anxiety and internal conflict from trauma in my life as well as a bunch of confusing shit that I can't even explain. it just makes a work environment and possible for me I feel like everything is closing in on me. Half the time I get forced to leave the other half I quit

don't move to Vermont it's way too fucking expensive and believe it or not it's an extremely progressive state with a fuck ton of liberals who make way too many ridiculous laws and won't let you just live your life

>it just makes a work environment and possible

IMPOSSIBLE

I'm a geologist. I'm sure l get a job with actual, adequate pay. In so sick of right to work red state Bullshit.

Get medication and therapy?

Okay well whatever your political affiliation is you're still going to make like 40% of what you would make in New Hampshirethis state is extremely expensive and it taxes the ever-living fuck out of businesses to the point where they pay people much less and you get taxed so hard as an individual that you make much less on top of that

>Get medication and therapy?
>In USA
>With no money
Good one

lol its easier to just say "i'm an attention whore basically"

seriously though nobody cares about you more than you care about yourself. If events in your past were so traumatic that it effects you now then its probably you that makes resolution impossible. If your by yourself then really it makes no difference but if you have kids to take care of then you have no choice but to man the fuck up and do for them what wasn't done for you.

i have friends who are PTSD addled to fuck and back but bust their asses so it doesn't effect anyone else.

College isnt that fast paced. you just have to put in the work every day and be consistent.

I hear stories just like yours all the time, specifically about video games and not being able to handle school environments. not sure what to say other than put your heart into your passion.

Also, full sail is a cop out like ITT Tech. unless you want to be a code monkey or learn how to make games in Game Maker you need something else.

Free clinics are everywhere

Stop making excuses. If it was so bad, you'd do whatever you could to get help. Good RX fills scripts for 8 bucks without insurance.

What in gods name are you creating user?

People asked and that's why I wrote that post

I am not responsible for anyone else and I don't have any kids or pets.

So much this

hardly true. I've worked with people from the top 10 largest tech companies and then some and none work 10 to 12 hours a day on average.

Most companies dont compensate your salary for positions that expect that many hours, but the minimum salary in those positions is reasonable.

then grow up. Your bosses aren't your parents who feel bad because your mopey. nobody on earth is entitled to anything more than their own life. nobody is going to feel bad for you and magically make everything go away except for you.

work through the bullshit and find your center

Free clinics are not everywhere. I live way out in the country and I'm hours away from any City area.

frankly it's just not feasible and there's a reason why it doesn't happen. I've had therapy before and it was good for me I'm not trying to avoid these things but it just isn't plausible in my current scenario. Sorry.

>change the world

For better or for worse?

>homophone

As in "gay telephone" or "Sounds the same as"?

Do you think I don't know this? It makes me feel 10 times worse because I know this fact. I don't want to put them through it either. This situation just makes me close up even more and it makes me not want to get a job even more after I lose one. this kind of thing just makes my social anxiety go through the roof.

>I've had therapy before and it was good for me I'm not trying to avoid these things but it just isn't plausible in my current scenario.

the majority of therapy is people talking about why they feel the way they do to someone who's just paid to listen. talk to yourself and be honest

making fun of them calling people homophobe

You're so pathetic. You just want people to feel sorry for you. I don't. You could get help but instead you make up so many Bullshit reasons to not have a better life. Grow up.

I do that all the time and I just spiral out of control I can't help it.

Someone put another cockroach in your diaper gramps?

Jesus Christ how old are you?

I don't know why you're so angry about this. That's okay. I might be pathetic I won't argue with you on that one. I will say that I've done my best at life and I truly have tried to put my best foot forward but life just keeps curb-stomping me back down to the ground again and I'm about ready to just say fuck it and stop trying. You can only fight so much you know?

23

not that guy, but I'm working on network technology. I'm convinced im helping provide the most remote areas of the world with internet access that will rival internet quality currently available in all major cities in the USA.

>Do you think I don't know this?
No i think youve heard this before but come up with any reason within your grasp to ignore it. feeling 10 times worse is not a currency its not benefiting you stand besides yourself for a second and consider what you look like to a stranger that legitimately wants to help you. Also consider giving some of your time to help someone else so you can see how nobody has their shit together entirely.

you remind me of one of my marines from a long time ago. you act pathetic because it makes you feel good. you mope and complain about being less because you think everyone else is "on to you"

You know, you seem like a nice person and it's nice you really want to help this guy. He's obviously trolling, though. He doesn't have a reason. He just has an excuse and he's gonna milk it.

Angry? More like calling like I see it. What are you going to do? Sit at home and not do shit all day? Sack up boy.

i don't know about real working environments. all i know is that when you get far enough, you experience what i called "the flip" where you stop "doing computer science in your life" to "trying to have a life while doing computer science" and it takes over even more.

Given the idiocy of people like that, I actually expect them to get even homophobe wrong.

They're the same kind of people that make these errors, over and over again:

Privilege spelled privalege
College spelled collage.
Definitely spelled defiantly.

I'm sure you can come up with more examples of consistent stupidity and/or unwarranted trust in spellchecker

Good lord. Are you an alcoholic by chance? You sound like one.

i put a cockroach in my own damn diaper because i like it when it wriggles against my asshole. go play fortnight or something you little shit and stop trying to control my body

I tried my best to understand most of what you were saying there. I really don't understand most of it.

Honestly that's like some 4D chess stuff. And honestly isn't that deep I just suck at life my friend. Sorry to say it's not one big conspiracy LOL

You're right.

Yes probably. That's usually what ends up happening.

Yes. No doubt.

Wow what company are you working for?

Usually, I write the same in my college copybook

No I don't drink or do drugs I smoked and started vaping a little bit in the last year or so but this stuff has been going on my whole life the nicotine has actually helped a little bit.

i'll translate it for you

Stop acting like a faggot. Your wasting your time. Talk to people and find out what they are made of then compare their flaws to yours. Sometimes your on top sometimes your on bottom.

No. The path the world is on is appropriate. You couldnt offer me anything to get back that kind of wonder and dedication

Aww did another one of em critters get stuck in your asshole grandpa? Dont worry ill get another one as soons as i get another victory royale.

cringe/10

Frankly dude I just don't have the energy anymore. I know saying that at 23 is ridiculous but my early life was crazy and now that I'm an adult I find myself legitimately not having the energy to deal with life stresses. whether it's because of the stuff that happened early on or if it's just because that's the way I am either way I find myself unable to deal with this stuff and just completely out of energy for it.

what a faggot holy shit

>started vaping a little bit in the last year

lol nvm nothing is going to fix you. serious question though.

how many apple products do you own?

I don't see that very frequently. some companies expect their employees to quit after a few years because they know they burn them out.

These are the 3 scenarios I typically see:
1. Work a 9 to 5 job out of college and do that for the rest of your life either chasing work life balance or a pay check. This is most common.

2. work insane hours for some company and leave and settle down in a 9 to 5 job. not that common.

3. work crazy hours all the time. channe companies and do the same thing eventually having a large impact on the big picture. least common out of the 3.

I never claimed to be straight boyo

absolutely. As a web developer, I routinely delude myself into believing in the value of working every waking hour for years, regardless of financial compensation or the deterioration of personal relationships.

God fucking damn it... I gotta lurk moar...

whatever man. Dwell in your past and sleep on your scars forever. The rest of humanity has a story to be a part of

kek

I'm not comfortable saying. Its fucking rad though lol.

Flat zero I absolutely hate Apple.
I'm an Android and PC guy

Ill give you a hint. You ain't a faggot cus you gay. Boyo.

A machine to be a cog in

depends on how much pussy i get, probably not at this point

i got this way for a while in grad school (STEM but not CS) but didn't get the dream job and just...

Attached: whatever2.gif (200x200, 2M)

you posted this to a Malaysian crab herder photo forum. You aren't even a functioning cog

I don't think gay people want to be girls but whatever you say captain

kys

Probs a startup or sthing then. Not judging. Do u get to travel?

What in the world are you talking about?

Been thinking about it for sure

that's impossible, I'm not a robot, I have my needs too

it's never to late to get that dream job. I was lucky and applied and got in first try. now I just dick around with invaluable prototypes. Blew up some hardware last year and nobody batted an eye. Considered it the cost of progress.

imagine being this stupid, it was written as a joke

At this point I think you should. Save your parent time and money. Hell maybe they can have another child and try again. Maybe the next time they'll raise an adult instead of a sniveling child.

I only travel from my smaller office to HQ. The work culture is pretty close to a startup, but we've been around for a while.

I have a ton of impact and get to work on something new every other day. One day its configuring hardware test racks, the next I'm working on simulation software, the next I'm supporting manufacturing line software.

God, gramps is sure at it again... Probably shat his pants for the 69th time today.

My birth mother had five kids, I was the first, abandoned the first three and is in the process of being crazy and ruining the last two herself I grew up with a stepmom and my biological father who abused me the people who are helping me now are my grandparents

this is all general examples though. if I got into the details I think anyone in tech would find it interesting.

Please type coherently. Did she drink and smoke while pregnant with you? Get help.

My siblings are doing significantly better than me because they grew up in foster families. The ones that she has with her now I'm not allowed around as she's too mentally unstable and has separated herself from the rest of her family and won't speak to anybody I haven't even talked to her since I was 16. Nobody can. nobody will get to see them or hear from them till there 18 and if they choose to talk to us

Without what I do, a lot of things would not be possible. I recondition turbine blades with a patented coating and without it any high temperature gas turbine would not last very long

More than likely she did. Who knows.

>7 years ago

Keep clinging to the past. Its been serving you so well

>oh wait.

go find and help them you dumb bastard. You have the chance to help someone you SHOULD care about if aren't willing to care about your self.

you get to be the big brother hero in your animus but your too self absorbed to see how much good you can do.

It shows. You sound like you've got fetal alcohol syndrome. You need some prozac.

Lol he's a narcissistic self deprecating child

Again I have no legal right to do that and can't.
no legal right and no resources you're just going to have to trust me on this one.
The situation is the way it is for a reason.

I've been on all that shit in the past and none of it helps unfortunately in fact a lot of it made it worse

Now you're just lying.

you don't even trust yourself you daffy bastard why would anyone else trust what you say.

the reason is she's a crazy bitch like many a crazy bitch before her. That same bitch that did whatever to you is doing it to someone else and your standing idly by with your chin tucked firmly between your legs along with your nuts wondering why nobody will help you

go help them before its too late

Nope I'm not. I was hospitalized three times and during that time they would change the medication every week or so hoping they would get something that would stick. Even before that my parents would force me to take medications up until I was sixteen when I could finally legally kick them.

There is no help to be given.
If you can't understand that then I guess I don't know what to say

I get it now. You're lazy. You're going to try and leech off your grandparents like some FAGGOT NEET until you're forced to work in which you'll try every outlet to file for ssi and disability. This is all an act. Good luck with all that.

the fact that you don't know what to say is one of your issues. You could say anything at this point and help but until you get all the star stickers in the world you'll continue to be useless little you

fuck this. Jacking off is a better use of my time than talking to you

>legally kick them
>worse off without them

You're a self admitted moron lol

Do people really say shit like this and then wonder why society is declining?

If you're just going to be a toxic piece of shit to everybody that has an issue obviously this shit is only going to get worse.

>yfw you realize Yea Forums is not a safe space

You sound like the lady who gives 5 bucks to the homeless man but makes him promise not to buy crack or beer with it

>5 mins later he buys crack or beer

Dude I met my siblings once in my life. I met her once in my life. I barely know these people and they're barely a part of my life. I have no right to sit here and try and dictate how people should live their life and I'm not going to ruin mine just to attempt to save theirs when they might be just as toxic as her at this point there's just no reason for any of this it's ridiculous.

I'm well aware of that and that's why I like it so much but let's be real here for once. Just like he can say what he wants I can too.

i imagine you to look like the space leech version of mortys dad

just utterly spineless and no thoughts other than self absorbed woe is me masturbation

Stuck up minds.

people are real here all the time my fren. That horrible bitter vitriol that gets spit in your face is the true voice of humanity. like someone said before

nobody loves you more than you love yourself

orange man bad tho rite?
