>>217399920>has a job>has stable income>has a place to liveDo you really want more than that?
>>217399920im thinking of becoming a full time vtuber
>>217399920just sleep with your coworkers bro
>>217399920If we're being this reductive, then why even live at all? Why have preferences? Why do anything?None of this has meaning and it all ends in death.
>>217399940Yes
>>217399955uhh based
>can't afford a PCthanks Maga. removing restrictions on AI was a really great move.
>>217399920if you were six-foot-eight, ripped, and had sex appeal, you wouldn't feel this way
Greed ruins everything. These are volatile times. Covid was a thinly-veiled smash and grab job by insanely wealthy and powerful people who exist only to amass more wealth and power. Enough is never enough. As a result, less than .01% of the planet's population hoard 99.9% of the wealth. The whole world cries out, “Peace, freedom, and a few less fat bastards eating all the pie.”
Tyrone Durden be starting fights for no reason and vandalizing cars and stores.
>>217400467Greed trickles down. Now your corner Mom and Pop take more of your pie to survive, and still, everything is fine.
>>217400467The Chinese century truly is here, anon. The West's middle class is disappearing, man. In China you can afford a home with a minimum wage job. They intentionally create a housing SURPLUS, literally spare housing to lower the overall avg. price of housing. Simple supply and demand stuff. And yet the West lets a small group of people have a complete monopoly on land and housing, who create a SHORTAGE on purpose. Sad.
We must return to the 80s
It’s better than >35 >never had a job>still living with parents >parents are now geriatric in their 70’sI don’t even know what to do now except kms when my parents go
>>217399940Is zat even a question?
>>217400693I never grew up in the Eighties so correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the Eighties just a beta version of our society now? Like consumerism and materialism on a really wide scale. Vaporwave idealizes these with nostalgia (including me) but it's the very thing that corrupted it and brought about the great decay we see now.
>>217399956they're all married or ugly
>>217400467We're not suffering because Bezos has lots of money. We're suffering because fucking retards like you demanded a shutdown of the country to stop a flu, disrupting supply lines and destabilizing the economy, top to bottom EXACTLY AS WE SAID IT WOULDNow after doing that, you want to come along and sell us on your next bright idea?
>>217400859>consumerism and materialismWho gives a shit? That's the least important "problem" in the world. Oh no your coworker buys funko pops? Who gives a shit?They really spent a long time pushing this as some great social ill. Anyways the 80s were fantastic. Go watch that video of them dicking around filming inside a 7/11 at night. It's indescribable how much nicer of a place America was back then.
>>217400960Yes, but it's worse now. Like example, even advertising seems to have had some sense of soul back then. Movies where cool, games, etc. Now everything's just the same. Look at websites for christ'ssake. Look at AI slop. I wish I grew up back then lol is what I'm saying.
>>217400859No internet made it better
>>217401032Yes almost everything has gotten worse, I'm sorry
>>217401032What you're describing isn't >muh consumerism and materialismIt's corporatism.
>>217401085>>217401066Of course, the maybe one thing that is better is that we have the internet now. Man everyone always complains about the wrong fucking things.
>>217401096>one thing that is better is that we have the internet now.Peak zoomie brain
>>217399940I want sex and relationship. Those are fundamental human needs.
>>217399920When I was young after college I worked 40 hours a week at an insurance company and went out about 3 nights a week and still had a life. I lived in a medium sized city right next to a huge college campus which made this a lot easier. Would have been terrible socially in a big city or suburbs.
>>217401105Do I sound like a zoomer? Waxing nostalgic about the 80s?The internet is great. Why are you on it right fucking now if you hate it so much?Pretty much everything else has gotten worse, but the internet is a real revelation.
>>217399940just let me tell the world to fuck off for 6 or 4 hours a day, that's all I'm asking.
>>217400659It's been fifty years and I've seen nothing, my grandpa has much stronger trickles when he pisses himself at the restaurant table
>>217401194Ok zoomie
>>217401188Wow that is just so interesting
>>217401096>riiiiight 'cause the internet is suuuuuch a basiiiiic humaaaan neeeeed.okay slave
>>217401251You're a bad poster and the website would be better without you on it
>>217401140Hire a escort and make em
>>217399940>has a job threatened by "AI" (Actual Indians)>has an unstable income at the mercy of the money printer and politicians' retardation>has a place to rentYes, I really do want more than that.
>>217401273zoomie alert get off 4channel newfag I bet you're here after seeing those ai generated greentext stories on Facebook. If you wanna argue give me reasons why the internet is so wonderful.
>>217401264The internet is greatAgain, if you hate it so much, why are you on it? How many hours a day do you spend on it?You don't have to. You could watch tv or read books. That's what people did before. I prefer the internet. It is much, much, much better.I don't get why this is upsetting to people.
>>217399920>only have a few hobbies due to limited money and free timeA few hobbies sounds pretty good though
>>217401273Peak zoomie meltdown
The film takes place in 1999Back then College was far less expensive, rent didn't take up almost half your income and a house was only 4x the median income. People would fucking kill to go back to that world. Today most people have given up hope of shit getting better and are probably hoping for a massive war or unrest to break out just to finally end our downward spiral
>>217399920a buddy of mine is in his late thirties, got three kids, a wife, works several weeks abroad each year, and still got time to build and play Warhammer when he’s home
>>217401316>>217401346You are what is bad about the internet.But on the whole it is great. It is like I can read any book in the world, exactly as much as I want, or watch any TV show, or play any game, or see anything on earth I want.Before you were limited to TV, which sucks, movies, and actual physical books.How is this not a massive upgrade? I could happily spend all day on the computer, and do. And I'm sure you do too. So what are you bitching about? If you hate it so much why are you on it?
>>217399920>only work 32hours a week>stop spending money on useless garbage you cant afford>a vacation, expensive car or eating out WONT improve your life anyway>stop being slowby slow I mean not being efficient with your time. people are literal retards when it comes to time management.
>>217401324Yeah okay but we didn't grow up with it right? when we were toddlers, we were playing outside, or at least watching cartoons on TV or something. Very different from mindless scrolling, with an algorithm tailored to you. And that's what's up now man, fucking kids with brains not even developed yet, growing up with an addiction.
>>217401383>THING GOOD BECAUSE I CAN GET THING WITHOUT GOING OUTSIDESuch a zoomie post
>>217401383it was good when it was a niche hobby now it's all normie sloppa and every person on the internet is an esociopath/egirl looking for engagement
>>217401422That's the parent's fault. It's like fast food. I'm glad there is fast food. It benefits me. It's not my fault retards feed it to their kids and get them addicted and make them fatI'm tired of losing things for the sake of fat retards who can't control themselves.Internet is the only sanctuary I have against retardworld. If you fucks try to take it away because fat beaner kids I'm gonna go nuts
>>217399920Desire is the source of suffering. Learn to tame it before you become a terrorist.
>>217401463I'm not a zoomer so I don't know why you keep saying that. What do you want? Every time you want to read a book, to have to walk to the library? Or go to the video store to see if the video you want is in?Why is that how you want things?>>217401487>now it's all normie sloppa and every person on the internet is an esociopath/egirl looking for engagementI never run into any of that. It's easy to avoid
>>217401527>I'm not a zoomerSorry, you're gen Alpha aren't you
>>217401535How is it possible to be this stupid? I keep talking about the beforetime.Why don't you actually say something worthwhile? Make a fucking point or argument?You're the zoomer acting one, responding with nothing but buzzwords.
>>217401561It is really pathetic that you're larping as older than you are.
>>217401487Yeah, when everyone is heard it all becomes meaningless noise. At least we have 4chan :)>>217401501Fast food does not benefit you at all dude, I'm sorry to insult your diet but it is just processed meat and chemical oil pumped with sodium. Slave food. But yeah it's the parents fault I wish there was some law or some shit stopping literal toddlers from scrolling TikTok. How does this benefit anyone??(except massive corporations)
>>217401617>Fast food does not benefit you at all dude, I'm sorry to insult your diet but it is just processed meat and chemical oil pumped with sodium.So is everything. Fast food is cheap and easy to get so it benefits me. I'm healthy enough otherwise it's fine>I wish there was some law or some shit stopping literal toddlers from scrolling TikTok. How does this benefit anyone??(except massive corporations)It benefits the parents by letting them be lazyOf course it's shitty bad parents doing this. Their kids will be fat and useless and that's their fault, while good parents limit their kids and impose rulesJust how it is. You can't force people to be good parents or care about their kids
>>217401681>I'm healthy enough otherwise it's finethats usually shit people in their mid 20s and early 30s write. you are aware that you probably live for another 50-60 years, are you?
>>217401710I don't really plan on it. Regardless I don't see the problem. What long term damage is it doing?
>>217401730why should I bother. you made up your mind with your suicidal life style anyway. bringing up points is a waste of my time and probably yours. you do you as long as you are happy about it.
>>217399920This is your personal failing, people have never had more free time and disposable income paired with a higher standard of living than now. Could it be even better? Sure, but that requires increases on taxation, maintaining or even really increasing immigration and improving accessibility of public services.
>>217401750You don't believe in muh sodium and cholesterol and all that shit do you?I don't see anything fast food has that every other source of food today doesn't
>>217401681Bruh yeah imagine the internet when gen alpha's the same age as you zoomers holy freakin shit man. Imagine the internet in 100 years. 100 years of memes, people's grandfathers jerking off on the hub. Fucks my mind up.
>>217401767How the fuck are there still people this derangedHow is "more immigration" and even higher taxes supposed to fix anythingNone of the problems we have could be even remotely improved by any of that. Fucking insane liberals have one hammer and everything is a nail
>>217401777the fact that you cant tell by the way fast food makes you feel afterwards is concerning to say the least. try going "clean" for a month even if its just out of curiousity.
>>217401821It really doesn't make me feel bad. I probably go close to a month without eating any sometimes on accidentMaybe when I get older or something. I'm late 30s and basically still feel the same as ever I assume because I've kept in good shape
>>217401809>How is "more immigration" and even higher taxes supposed to fix anything>more immigrationDemographics. Especially pertinent for Europeans who are going to be in deep shit by 2040 unless they massively boost it.>higher taxesPublic investment is one of the most important drivers for economic growth. Even though a more progressive tax system is certainly desirable, contrary to the left populist position simply increasing taxes on the wealthy is hardly sufficient to expand (or in some cases even maintain) public services. Again very pertinent for Europeans who have done terrible self-harm by pursuing debt brake policies since the latter half of the 00s.
>>217401777No. Okay since you're willing to listen brother please. Yes, you're "healthy" now. Imagine how much more if your diet aligned with nature. Think of it this way: we have been around for 300,000 years. In that time our species has adapted to eat primarily meat. I'm not into that whole carnivore diet "fruits bad" thing but what I do know is that everything we're eating now is slop. Processed sugar heavily. It is used to hide the taste of high amounts of salt that dehydates you, and retains water in your face. Don't eat vegetables because of pesticides, fruits only if it has peelings or something. Bananas are good. Focus on red meats. If you can't afford it just starve I'm sorry price is just the problem.
>>217401862>Especially pertinent for Europeans who are going to be in deep shit by 2040 unless they massively boost it.how so?
Fight Club is kino, i wanna fight some people.
>>217401958Because the dependency ratio is going to massively shift by then. 20-25% decrease in working age people and 25-30% increase in dependents.
>>217402033are you talking about the pansion system here?
>>217402074Yes, and simply the average age of the population, many countries (especially European ones) simply won't have enough people to maintain the functioning of society.
Everyone in this thread has committed the mortal sin of overthinking, you must repent by retardmaxxing. Whatever it is, just start doing, and stop thinking. Whatever happens as a consequence of your active doing is the best possible version of what can happen to you. Whatever happens as a consequence of your timidity, cowardice, and ruminating is the worst possible version of what can happen to you.>but nigge-doesn't matter, just do it>b-but birth rate-Stop thinking, go do things>the jews are-You're still thinking, go doNo more thinking, go do. Don't even learn, just do, and then do more. There is no counter to this, no reply, nothing more to say.>inb4 tl;dr
>>217402138the pansion system is a failed system to begin with. in its core is nothing more than a snowball scam system which needs to be reformed. you also dont really expect immigrants to make up the difference? with what expertise? I live in germany so I know first hand that immigrantion wont help not in the short term and especially not in the long term. the only winning move is to make sure you remove yourself from the system as soon as possible. I saved enough money through investing/stocks so now all I do is avoid paying taxes by working the bare minimum so my income is tax free. I dont rely on this shitty system and I dont have to legally support it. many of my friends with good paying jobs did the same and the rest is leaving this sinking shipping for better opportunities like in america. europe is doomed. you must be a young idealist if you really believe in the future of this rotting system.
>>217402247The pension system is broadly a good thing as it still contributes to maintaining economic activity. But still, even if you were to stop pension payments tomorrow, you'd still be facing the issue of lacking the people to actually perform labor.Second, it's not just skilled or expert labor that will be needed and siphoning the excess population of developing countries is the only reasonable path to get the people needed. One was able to offset this labor shortage for a while by siphoning population from new EU countries, but that's not viable anymore as they are now facing the same demographic issues, and are now also gradually reaching wage parity lessening the effect of the pull factor of wages. The only solution is to open the doors to Asia and Africa.

Not shut the whole fucking world down and dilute currencies by 40% to keep the economy from imploding, lmao
>>217403198Retard who thinks hard work converts to respect because reasons
>>217403355Yup. He was lied to and cheated as a child. Definitely single mother material. Just think, a good father figure and prayer probably would have changed his life all for the better.

>>21740085980s nostalgia cucks conveniently ignore all the 80s post-punk bands singing about the same stuff Fight Club would portray a decade later.
>>217403590What are you doing to actively stop it? You're doing nothing, you just play it over and over again in your head. If you were actually doing things to fight the things you hated I'd have infinite respect for you, but you don't. You exist to be enlightened in your mind about how much better things would be IF people saw things your way, but in the end you just make yourself more miserable every day by 'nooticing' and then calling it a day there.
>>217399920no faggot, you are suposed to have hobbies and social life without having a fucking job, what the fuck do you expect from life? having tons of money doing nothing? not even a OF prostitute can do that, retard

>>217401217it's a lie sold by those at the top that people like the poster you replied to believe in. they're all fed custom lies which fit their category of being which placate them, check the other replies.1. it's just a cycle ha-ha! things will be fine soon when Ze Great Reset HAST STARTED! UND YOU OWN NOTHINK!- the "cycle" idea placate the terrified because then they don't need to understand what is happening, what happened in the past or what is going to happen in the future, and they don't have tto do anything about it either, as it will simply "reset". most of what is going on has no historical precedent whatsoever, but they don't know that or want to think about that as their fear will come back instantly. they prefer to just ignore it all.2. everyone's the same - distracting from the clear evidence that as was stated 0.01% own 99.99% and the world is run by a singular thief cult with such boundless greed that they'd see every other person on the planet enslaved and turned into subhuman monstrosities rather than let slip a single shaved coin from their hooked fingers.3. just keep plodding on - worked in the past, it'll do fine now. why am I suddenly in a cell?
