This...actually answered one of my questions on why a lot of CHUDs are fascinated with the simulation theory, it's why they can dismiss themselves as fun saturday morning cartoon villains and not as actual threats. At worst, they're just doing an evil playthrough of Skyrim, but it's ultimately okay because they're the super special demigod so doing whatever they want "for teh lulz" is justified as their reward for being born a demigod.

CHUDs like to see themselves as chaotic neutral but they can't handle the fact they're lawful evil.

Nah, he's more like Republican Moviebob (CW: Naziesque imagery, although the nazi in question is painted in a bad light)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Elon Musk could easily solve climate change with all the wealth he obtained from COVID that he got by sheer dumb luck, finance the future and be hailed as a hero for centuries and this was all part of his original brand too, I remember him publicizing the Tesla patents in the early 2010s. Sure, it might be a little dickish that he bought his way into heroism, but that's at least one existential threat neutralized and maybe he can have some rights to be braggy. He could do it right now, as a 100 billionaire, we've gotten to a point where money is meaningless to him, he literally dropped 44 billion dollars to own the libs so what if as a public apology to the state of California, he instead spent that 44 billion funding the high-speed rail? (Ok, you can stop laughing now).

Not to mention the insurance capitalism would have:

: "See? You can totally trust corporations!"

: "The bourgeoisie aren't the problem, it's good bourgeoisie vs bad bourgeoisie"

Hey, first off I wanted to thank you for replying. I'm pretty sure I do have ADHD and I have heard a few success stories about ADHD meds. I'm a little bit concerned about the side effects, but after a pretty shitty year it sounds like I have much to gain from meds.

As for the intergenerational living, this is unfortunately something I would be very reluctant to do. I lived most of my life in a dying rural town in Texas, and all the rising shit Greg Abbott's doing makes me want to flee the state. That, and I need to find actual IRL friends. Of course the ADHD meds will probably help with that too and it helps to know that part of it is caused by bad luck rather than my own failures, but it wouldn't hurt to find roommates and actually live around people my own age.

As someone who pretty much started their artist journey yesterday, I agree with this.

I find some empowerment of "if I get good enough at this, someone's bound to appreciate it and I might get a small amount of fame for being organic. Virgin celebrity status vs chad niche microcelebrity status."

Because capitalism punishes success, that's why. Many people have learned that work isn't school. There's no A+s for a job well done, it's "can you come in today?" on a weekend.

Autistic comrades, I call upon you for some advice.

How do I "un-manchild" myself? I'm beginning to fit the "neckbearded underachiever" stereotype perfectly and I realized, I can't blame capitalism for all of it. Harder? Sure, but we live in capitalism and people in gen Z are still getting jobs and moving out of their parents basements.

• How do I get job? my latest seasonal contract ended and I cannot rely on seasonals anymore. It seems to me everyone and their mother is only looking for purple squirrels

• How do I GTFO mom's basement? Every time I look I am scared away by all the high prices so most likely I'm going to find roommates, which is still going to be leagues better than being a basement-dweller.

• How do I stick to hobby? Executive dysfunction go brrrr and I haven't even started most of the hobbies I can see myself doing. I hope to get to a point where I can monetize my art.

I blame the corporatization of creativity. If only the rich can participate in it, then of course it will suck.

Can't have poors out there not being cogs in machines.

Is it just me or is the word "crisis" losing its meaning? Take the housing crisis for example, while it is true that it is a crisis. Society sure isn't treating it like one, if they were serious about solving the housing crisis you'd see housing Stalin prop up years ago, with California in particular being an entire state full of commie blocks. Cost of living crisis? Not a single wall street banker has been arrested, and neither have any corporations that literally got together and all collectively agreed to make everything ultra expensive. It's quite telling that society will invoke the bible for punishing undesirables, but being greedy is treated like a cute quirk at worst or usually a sign of big-brainsyness most of the time.

I'm also going to meet with a career counselor about finishing my CS degree, maybe I can make friends in college and truly learn coding when I go back older and more mature.

Deodorant: Anything aluminum-free

Liquid soap: Dove. The important part is that it is antibacterial, sulfate-free, and unscented.

Also, if you shampoo/condition every day: stop. You're better off getting some bougier hair care and not adding product as often.

Y'all just gave me a great idea for a YA novel.

This time, the villains are people who are so thoroughly convinced they're the main characters and that's why they treat everyone like garbage because they see their life as a video game. Like Scott Pilgrim but never getting called out for the bad shit he does, and as such never really has to stop being a manchild.

It's embarrassing to think I was ever afraid of him, but it's even more embarrassing for Florida that they love him so much.

The internet cool kids lose all their drip whenever they step outside, and Ron DeSantis is proof of that.
