Gawd forbid a man has a hobby
>>153929022Can he not just buy a games console or something?
>>153928946Why do you keep making this thread
>>153928946No one here is old enoughh to remember Manufacturing Malaise.All the factory workers who complained they felt like cogs in the machine doing the same repetitive boring tasks untill the day they retired.A lot of people thought off-shoring would mean those people could find new and more fufilling work with all that American know-how and saved wealth.
It's kinda funny how the newer generations reject these types of stories where a character finds his stable life unfulfilling and meaningless so he goes for something new and exciting, regardless of the risk. It seems that people have become so materially destitute and their future so insecure that they will take any life that offers stability and wealth, regardless of how boring it is. I've seen people complain about the Matrix, Office space and a lot of other GenX media with this type of story structure.
>>153928946>>153929022>>153929993It is always hilarious looking back at the 90s/2000s vision of what a soul-crunching life was and realizing they didn't know how good they had it.
>>153930062because literally you could have a finically stable career at any level of life rather than barely scraping by as most of gen z is getting raped by corpo scum..
>>153928946>>153930077Hierarchy of needs, anons. If someone has stability and the ability to feed themselves and their family, they start to focus more on their inner selves.Plus, you have to remember the people who made these shows would probably find the “9 to 5” lifestyle insufferable.
>>153930077I was so excited when I got my first cubicle 3 years ago after working for 10 years as a security guard and a test technician. I didn't and still don't understand what's so bad about it.
Gen Xers had it so good, they had nothing to fear but falling into normalcy and were more worried about not seeming cool than being alone, making ends meet or dying.
>>153930125It's not bad if you work with people who respect your space. But that's not always the case.
>>153930128Then their rejection of that normalcy so that everyone could "be true to themselves" and "fight those oppressive systems of normalcy" dragged our society beyond saving. Truly an enlightened generation.
>>153930143That's true. I also didn't need to be in my cube all day since I had a role that would let me go onto the floor and provide hands-on support. I got the better deal and I recognize that. Still really giddy to have had my own space. Techs often don't really get that.
>>153928946You had a wifeA hot one too
>>153928946He simply...broke bad
>>153928946I honestly figured the real reason Harold Smith went supervillain because he was jealous and super pissed at Professor Utonium for humble-bragging how much he loves his life and his daughters, and the fact he was too spineless to just tell his neighbor to shut up and mind his own shit was what basically drove him over the edge.He's still pathetic and stupid, mind. But the fact he wanted to outright melt Professor Utonium's head clean off his shoulders tells me he didn't do it just as part of his gay outing, he decided he really wanted to fuck over the one man in town who basically allowed Harold Smith to have the averagely boring and unfulfilling life he does via creating the Powerpuff girls. All out of jealousy and spite.

This wasn't Gen-Xers hating their normal lives, it was liberal arts Gen-Xers expressing Sour Grapes and trying to convince themselves they would hate a more typical lot in life. OPs episode, The Matrix and Fight Club were all written by people who never experienced this life in the first place.Office Space was the only one that came from an actual place of familiarity and you can tell because you're given active reasons to think working in an office sucks, not a vague sense of monotony or feeling destined for greater things.
Anywhere in the middle is fine by me!
>>153930125>work front desk in hospital/medical offices for 7ish years, during covid at that>left me a nervous wreck each day but just got used to it>lost job and got new one in the back office of urgent care clinics handling billing >find it way, way easier to actually come into work each day since I dont have to deal with """"""people""""""" all day except on the phoneThe folks who think office work is sheer drudgery are the ones who need to be out and about doing something physical. If we had a better means to direct the right people to the right jobs we'd all be better off, id say
>>153928946>>153930077Younger gen cannot comprehend achieving the standard milestones you're told to in life and finding it meaningless and wanting something more passionate and real out of life. They can't even reach those milestones in the first place anymore.
>>153930313Office Space was attacking the system at large. It wasnt the job that sucked so much as the asshole bosses that made everything so miserable.Fight Club was about gay guys trying thier damndest to not actually be gay
>zooms are so brainwashed to corporate entities that they see endless repetive boring corporate work with no real goal towards to the future to be something to cherishCorporations and modern day work only keeps our species stagnant, we could put our efforts towards better goals instead of just making money, wherever it is for ourselves our a corporation
>>153930121I hold resentment at a part of myself for being unable to appreciate my current situation in life and always wanting more.To try and avoid humble-bragging, I’m currently living a lifestyle some people couldn’t even dream of, and my mind hasn’t been satisfied with it since I was a brainless child. It’s highly frustrating.Sorry if this sounds unbelievably out-of-touch.
>>153928946Most non-hylics have needs outside of food, shelter, and mating
Eat your pea, professor.
>>153930424>something to cherishIf it enables me to support a family, hell yeah.
>>153930457gen xers hated their wives and kids
>>153930424On the one hand, corporate propaganda to relegate you into living spare parts is obviously bad, but on the other, unrealistic ideas to where your life leads will only leave you depressed and perpetually unsatisfied.
>>153930424>sapiens are so brainwashed to thier magic heat ghosts they see the endless repetitive need to survive with no real goal beyond perpetuating the species to be something to cherish
>>153930062>>153930121It's a sign of society degenerating that we're back to worrying about basic living concerns. Gen X was the peak of civilization. Only gen so comfortably set with no external conflicts that they could all turn inward and make higher meaning and individuality in their own circumstances their generational preoccupation.
>>153930424The Uber/Amazon Delivery generation learned they have to deal with >endless repetive boring work with no real goal towards to the future no matter what path thet take. Except they don't even make enough money to support the life styles shown in these stories.
>>153930523>magic heat ghostsPlease elaborate.
>>153930447
>>153930563Fire bad
>>153930270I do wonder where that miserable ideology sprung up from. Pop culture? Businesses? The bottomless hole in our hearts greed has burnt in?
Are you guys really so broke that having an office job is luxurious?How much are you making?
>>153928946Pretty realistic. You'd be unpleasantly surprised how many people would be more than happy to throw away a good thing because they're "bored" or "were made for better things". They'll cheat on their spouse, buy and expensive vehicle, shoplift or gamble and do other stupid shit for a cheap thrill consequences be damned then whine and cry when they have to lay in the bed they shit
>>153930607Our brains are designed to reward short term gains thanks to the reptilian/animal aspects of it that evolution just couldn't get rid of. For the most part we just want to be feel safe/satisfied/secure NOW and everything else is just window dressing.
>>Has a loving wife and kidsYou didn't watch it
>>153930607It's stems from "underachievers" trying to justify their complacency by convincing themselves they are actually capable of things that could alter history, but just don't feel like it. A way to feel superior to your peers while not actually being superior to your peers.
>>153930313>liberal artsNope
>>153930677What, no that part is actually right.Unless you mean they actually hated being normal too. But they still loved him.
>>153930703Wrong again.
>>153930270Honestly it kind of does and that's a bit of the point. Having all your needs met means you can do whatever the hell you want. That was the true moral and point of Office Space and many of these office comedies is telling people to stop living for others and live for yourself no matter how simple and dumb it is. The issue however is that life isn't that simple for everyone, and now it's a huge majority of those people who when their boss gives them extra work and they say "No, unless I get paid more" will get met with "ok then go look for a new job"

>>153930270See the thing is I guarantee a lot of those people who act like that have never actually experienced deprevation. When you know what it's like to not have your material needs met on a daily basis when you finally get those needs met it really will make you happy
>>153930743>have your entire life figured out before you hit 30 or you failPfffftHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA[*inhale*]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>153930530Gen X sort of squandered that peak.
>>153930694Very, very true. I know because I've been guilty of it.
>>153930077I think it’s more that this kind of thing is the epitome of first world problems and what the people were mad about was not the actual issue. Like I remember that whole speech Tyler gives in fight club about working a job you hate to buy shit you don’t need but like why buy shit you don’t need? Who the fuck would they be trying to impress? The narrator is a loner even before his apartment blows up? Why would he need to by a bunch of shitty furniture to gussy up his apartment when he’s not going to be having anyone over? And why not just buy shit that makes him happy? Like the whole point of the job is to find a way to make enough until you have fuck you money in which case you can economically emancipate yourself. Leave the city, buy some fucking property, build a nice house there and then do whatever while generating consistent revenue however you can. You don’t need to be a fucking drone to do that.
>>153930766This is part of why fasting is so good for you. When you allow yourself to go two weeks without food, you realize exactly how little you actually need and that you can be sustained by God.
>>153930806>two weeks without foodThat's not fasting, thats suicide in slow motion. Fasting is when you take in the bare minimum of nutrients each day to keep your body in working order and spend the rest of the time in prayer and the like

What they want is a simple, stable and unstressful job that allows them to enjoy their actual lives outside of work, not a career that dominates their life and is a life goal unto itself

Early millenials having a 30 year old crisis and choosing to cope by becoming hyper aggressive in whatever socio-political movement there was at the time isn't something that crippling.Issues like prices skyrocketing and money's value going down sure are
>>153935073>People who have nothing tangible to offer think they deserve more without actually knowing what those jobs requireThat's my entire point, dipshit. I don't think I deserve more. I stopped caring about "more" because always reaching for "more" isn't worth squat in the end. What I want is to have "just enough" and actually have the time and energy to live my life instead. Zoomers tend to reach that mindset much, much sooner and good for them I say.And before you get smug again, no, I wasn't doing some shit tier entry job either, but work in a generally respected field I've studied for for years. It actually paid very good money, family was proud of me, whatever. But so what if it took 90% of my time, energy and mental resources.I don't want to live for work, just work so I can live. That's the point.

>>153928946>>153930077>>153930121You'd be surprised how many people are miserable because they chose a career that didn't fulfill them emotionally. We can talk about how a lot of modern jobs are designed to socially atomize people or how the 9 to 5 schedule is fucked up, but people can weather the pains if they do something that makes them happy.Harold was miserable because all he did for most of his life was just work. It wasn't even a job he actually liked doing! Harold would have been happier had he picked a job that made him fulfilled or fixated on a hobby/interest on the side that brought him joy.>>153930885Work with kids. You'd be surprised with how parents will come up with new ways to screw their children up.

>>153931076while all work has boring parts or require a lot of boring repetitive work to reach the level of competence required to make a living from it, there is a huge difference in emotional satisfaction you get in different types of workspending 8 hours a day cutting onions for a restaurant isnt thrilling work, but you do get some satisfaction at the end of the day knowing you made something meaningful8 hours a day screwing caps on toothpaste tubes like a machine isnt that much worse on the face of things, but its much more tiresome and draining on the person knowing that your end product is going to be an expendable product artisans had to spend a hundred hours doing boring stuff like screwing screws just like ford workers did, but ford workers had insane turnover in their workforce due to how much more emotionally taxing reducing people down to simply being the rivet gun guy was
>>153930125Normies hate the cube (Saturnian black cube, the material world created by the Demiurge) while the autist embraces the cube. The normie sees being boxed in as a trap, a prison, and an obstacle. It is Hell, a burning house that prevents them from realizing Nirvana. There's nowhere else to go but what remains in the box, which is just them and their minds. Hell is other people...and we're all people.An autist sees it differently. It is Nirvana, free from the rest of the material world that is in truth, one massive cube that normies are in denial of. It is an escape, a freedom, and an opportunity to create your own world with your own rules. Everything is exactly by design, a happy routine. There is nothing to do but think and do...an artisan's heaven.
>>153928946You need to understand, this shit is from such a plentyful peaceful era that monotony was generally perceived exclusively in the way women perceive it, i.e. as horrible as death/torture, "ah I'm so accomplished and successful and people love me and I have my own house and no crushing debt and no need of mine is ever neglected and I had sex with someone that loves me and didn't kill my kids and I will grow old to watch my own personal legacy lovingly pass on and achieve the american dream... B-BUT IS THAT ALL THERE IS TO LIFE UGH IM SO BORED UGH I WANNA DIE UGH I WANNA DO COKE AND BANG WHORES AND KILL PEOPLE UGH I WISH THE TWIN TOWERS FELL SO I COULD DO COKE AND HOOKERS AND KILL AND TORTURE PEOPLE ON IRAQ ALL AROUND ME ARE FAMILIAR FACES WORN OUT PLACES WORN OUT PLACES. It's literally retarded rich spoiled kids having it all and not liking it because they never suffered not having it.

The truth is you can have everything in life, or nothing at all and still not be happy. Happiness is found in you if you're happy you are, if you aren't you aren't. I tend to flip-flop myself. Hell some people have kids to see what it's like to be happy and try to feel childhood happiness from them, before the world crushes them and you want to to help but you're dying faster than they are catching up to you, so you just throw money at them to shut them up, which is a shame cause you might’ve bought a night with that one hooker. No no not the pricey one, still gotta eat that midtier looking one. She seems to have her drugs under control. Of course you could gamble with the meth head I mean you're already hitting 40 only going down hill from here, would it be so bad to go down while going down heh heh, oh right the point well the point is to shut up you will always find a reason to be miserable. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna help Mandi with an i here with her lucrative acting career.

Shit is going to blow and big upheaval of some sort will come. Remains to be seen how bad this and what comes after will be
