Wrong community. This is for shitposts, not depressing factual information.
The vent diagram between shitposts//depressing factual information//satire has become a circle. The call to stand for our right to memes and prosperity is everywhere for a reason.
I don’t think I have ever been asked for my GPA or school transcripts. Usually they just check to see if I graduated.
If you for a corporation then yes, your job is to make someone else rich. If you don’t like it then start your own business and hope it doesn’t go tits up. You can also try to become internet famous but that’s hard if your parents aren’t already well off.
Adult hood and responsibility is rough. Good luck young dude.
For some reason, I am starting to feel closer to the methods of Diogenes as I get older. If you’re not familiar with him, I suggest you read at least the intro on his Wikipedia page… actually, I’ll just copy it here:
Diogenes the Cynic (/daɪˈɒdʒɪniːz/, dy-OJ-in-eez; c. 413/403 – c. 324/321 BC), also known as Diogenes of Sinope, was an ancient Greek philosopher during the period of Classical Greece, and one of the founders of Cynicism.
Renowned for his ascetic lifestyle and radical critiques of social conventions, he became a legendary figure whose life and teachings have been recounted, often through anecdote, in both antiquity and modernity. Diogenes advocated for a return to nature, the renunciation of wealth, and introduced early ideas of cosmopolitanism by proclaiming himself a “citizen of the world”.
Diogenes was born to a prosperous family in Sinope. His life took a dramatic turn following a scandal involving the debasement of coinage, an event that led to his exile and ultimately his radical rejection of conventional values. Embracing a life of poverty and self-sufficiency, he became famous for his unconventional, shameless behaviors that openly challenged societal norms, such as living in a jar or wandering public spaces with a lit lantern in daylight, claiming to be “looking for a man”, that is to say “for a wise man” (sophos).
when i grow up i want to be kust like diogenes
The kids are alright.
said the same thing about gen z…didn’t realize until it was too late the “z” is for Nazi
Don’t worry, the tankies will replace the capitalist grinder with a communist one.
Eventually.
There’s nothing I want more than to be a mid-level cog in the
corporatestate political machine./S
Hey kids, don’t engage with society. It’s a lost cause. Get a shell, find an island, and start over. It’s so much better than this.
Hey kids. Stop parroting trendy nonsense!
Apparently the only option is grow up > get soulless job working for big corporate entity which produces no value for anyone except shareholders
I assume big corp makes widgets that are then immediately discarded
Yup. This is how I imagine them.
