Only one more week to complete those new years resolutions!
>>284696005I'm 32. I don't make new year's resolutions anymore. I just enjoy the pizza and burgers and cake, and live somewhat happily with the shame.
>>284696237That's the spirit.
I got serious, went back to school, did everything I was supposed to and my life didn't improve in the slightest. I no longer wish to participate in society, I just want to be left alone in my own little corner.
>>284696237You know what they say about people who don't celebrete
>>284698797you gotta escape or someone else will eat your portions
>>284699525What do they say?
>>284699611Something degrading, no doubt.
>>284698797The struggle itself is the only happiness.
>>284698797You already did much more than you thought possible.Don't give up now.
>>284698797I just want to die.
>>284703207Thanks. I'll try not to get discouraged.
>>284696005I resolve not to die.
I don't have ambitions anymore, only regrets.
>>284703185Grim.
>>284696005This year I completed 2 years of a steady job and I've now truly accepted that this is my life for a long time. I work in the trades and yeah, it's because I didn't hit the books but given how things are shaking up, maybe it was for the best as trades are the only jobs safe from AI and other forces. But I'm stil miserable.
>>284709129I studied hard to get a Comp Sci degree and I wish I had just gone into HVAC. The grass is always greener, anon.
>>284709129Just be grateful you have a job, anon.
>>284696005it's my job to post this pic every year you jeet!
>>284698797Don't worry, the system is designed to fuck you over.
>real life umaru has been dead for almost a decade
>>284710551>>284710551the blackest pill there is, real umaru was based on mangaka's own sister and been dead since volume 10... :(
>>284710578Umaru never dies.

>>284696005new years resolutions are for insecure people who cope about wanting to be someone they're not. the secret to life is to be honest about what makes you happy and just be yourself
>>284712061But I hate myself.
>>284698797You should consider attending graduate school in Japan, especially Japanese colleges that offer English language instruction, like Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology or Waseda University
>entered workforce as a civil servant 3 years ago because i got handicapped by my shitty GPA during college so private companies barely looked at my CV, already accepting that i wouldn't be paid competitively>in the midst of technological revolution in the form of AI so you're seeing a lot of layoffs in the private sector because the higherup thought a lot of thing could be solved by ChatGPT>me, on the other hand, have my job security and that allowed me to splurge for my dumb hobby without worrying for the futuresometimes your grass is green enough to stay in
>>284696005will this series be popular now that the stuff about the mangaka's sister came out.
>>284714907It all depends on what your goals are.I want a house, went into engineering and now i realize I still earn like 4-5 times less than what i need to buy a starter home.It's over.But at least i can afford distractions i guess.
>>284696005Do you think I can book an around-the-world cruise for before new years
