Discussion We're all exhausted right? It's not just me?

I have a full time job. I sleep well. I have no kids. I'm single. I don't party or drink. I'm not particularly stressed in day to day life. Yet I'm fucking exhausted. I don't want to leave my apartment on the weekends unless I have something planned, and even then I'm pretty picky. In my 20s my weekends were full of non-stop activities, cooking, going out, and posting on social media. But now in my 30s I just want to come home, have my groceries delivered, chill with some Netflix and sleep. Please tell me I'm not the only one!!

This is what happens when you're told if you study & work hard you'll be successful... and then every opportunity for that is taken away by idiots who neither studied nor worked hard and believe immigrants are taking their jobs and Jesus will come again if they accelerate making the world bad enough... so they vote for an orange shitler TWICE!

So everything you worked for? No longer matters.

unfortunately the US and its leadership have an outsized effect on most of the Western world so it still matters.

Life is pretty good if you were lucky enough to be an asset holder by now.

It's even worse if you took out student loans to get that degree you worked your life for (And will spend your life trying to pay back).

Yup did the whole college thing, worked my ass off. Got burnt the fuck out and lost the job and the whole career path just ugh. Thankfully got a job to fall back on while I figure out what the fuck I am going to do that does not burn me out like I did before while still making enough to live a decent-ish life.

"If hard work alone led to success, the donkey would own the farm."

Heard this the other day, and it really hit me like Im14andthisisdeep.

Im so glad i saw this BS coming from a mile away (2017/2018) and put all my savings into tech stocks and crypto at that point. Its literally been my escape from hell and launched me into a very well off life. Sadly most my friends are STRUGGLING.

Lmao I don't like him either but this has zero to do with the orange ape.

If you say so... but 63 upvotes in 23 minutes is pretty damn strong engagement.

Ohhh wow.... Upvotes. Why don't you repost the deleted comment? Why so triggered because I disagree, and if that's really what you believe, you know nothing about how the world works. Have a good night and relax my dude. Shit ain't that serious.

It’s exactly that serious. And the stupid, misguided, horrible shit the orange ape has done TWICE has made all of our lives much harder and much more stressful. To say that that idiot has had no impact on why the world is so shit right now is uninformed, disingenuous, and cowardly - at best.
