Nah, more sick of this whiny narrative from people gave up, that’s become so pervasive, people seem to use it to make themselves feel better about either never really trying, staying in a bad situation, or doing drugs till they’re 36 and then wondering why they don’t have nothing.
Gonna blow your mind here. Both can be true! People can make it work with some effort and (even you) a ton of luck, but that doesn’t also mean there’s not A HUGE issue. I guarantee you every single person who is struggling day-to-day, and doesn’t have some kind of reality-altering mental illness, wants to improve themselves. Most people either don’t know how, or have tried and tried and tried and just not been fortunate to find their break. Instead of being met with “ah, man, that’s rough bud. Let’s see if we can figure out some resources to help” though, it’s “get a job, don’t do drugs, pull yourself up with those bootstraps you bought (no handouts here!) And fuckin grind til you get it you worthless maggot!” One of those approaches will actually lead to people doing better for themselves, and it’s not the one you chose.
Well, something must be weighing you down if you’re on here being shitty at the thought of people needing a bit of help to get out of their rough spot. Hopefully by the time YOU’RE 60, you can get that sorted. It’ll make you feel better.
Could be. Could be I’ve seen so many die to opiod/fentanyl reasons I’ve took a real dim view of recreational use. Addicts need help, sure, not my point though.
If that’s what you want to call a guy who learned a difficult trade as a straight apprentice instead of dicking around.
Why are you so bitter, old man?
Let me translate for them:

Yeah yeah, just keep telling yourself that. Maybe when you’re 60 and still broke and renting, it’ll make you feel better.

And there’s the projection, right on cue.
No projection needed, you display it well enough on your own
I’m 39 and I do drugs a lot and I pretty much guarantee I’m more successful than you, given what you’ve said.
Maybe let’s leave the drugs out of this discussion
