Zoomer here. How do you oldfriends cope with being so old? I'm actually upset the switch 2 trailer made me realize the Wii U is 12 years old.

Being an adult isn't that hard, anon. Do you know what a bill is? Even if you have a house to live in, you'll have to pay bills. Do you have a bank card? That's step 1 to being an adult. You need the card to pay for stuff.

>>80078747
Oh... Well, I don't know what country you're in but in mine, you get paid for being unemployed. You should really look into that if you're worried about having no money. A bank card is worthless if there's no money going in.
If you can't manage to get unemployment money, you'll have to work.

I believe that's called a mortgage, and it's how most people buy a house; They borrow money from a bank that needs to be paid back. I think you'll be okay. Even 4channers will find a job when faced with homelessness; The reason is that it's the worst fate possible.

If it's an entire generation doing it, can you really say they're "behind"? More just seems like a shift in overall western culture, and culture changes every generation. Every previous generation tries to stop the next one changing things and they all fail eventually.
I don't like it either and it's not what we were promised growing up, but the only choice I have is to either rage at it or just accept that the times are changing.

Just cope with the moments of terror that pop up occasionally and you’ll be fine. Like when you see a game on steam you thought you just played but it’s been 4 years.
>>
>>80078769
I've never had moments of terror. I think you have those because you're afraid of dying. Once you overcome that, you begin a relaxing wait towards the end.
Some anon in this thread said he has no idea what to do when his Dad dies. What kind of world is that? Why can't people do what they want instead of what they have to? It's all bullshit. People just have to hang on until it's over, and maybe they'll finally get to be happy. They'll go to a world where they don't just suffer. That's what I believe. I refuse to believe anons suffered for nothing. This life is just a nightmare they had in their real life.

Zoomers will probably be much worse when they hit their 40's. They're more retarded than millennials, have less IRL lived experience and a worse special snowflake syndrome. Gen alpha is so Tik Tok-brainrotted they'll have a hard time qualifying as literate later in life as AI steals all non-menial jobs. I don't think millennials have it the worst.

I live a calm life too. I do the same thing every day, but it's the life I wanted anyway. I never had dreams as a kid. That means a life where I do nothing was my dream. I just know deep down that this life is pointless, and it's a loading screen for the life you actually want.
