>tfw the unwashed masses are dumb enough to buy into the gaslighting campaigns and will even continue to promote it
I hate normies so much

>turned 18 in 2009

I was recently watching the first few episodes of a podcast that started in 2019 or early 2020 and, even then, it struck me how much of an optimistic, low hanging fruit boom the 2010s were for software. It seemed like anyone who could even vaguely code could potentially make millions through an app or get a highly paid job.

And YouTube went from a hobbyist thing to something where people could make loads of money. Podcasts took off as well. Crypto made lots of people millionaires.

And now it feels all over. You need to know hardcore machine learning or get really technically in to crypto to make any money. All the low hanging software is finished. Content creation has been professionalised and you're competing with every single attractive woman in the world.

Is it over for me?

There are no white women left who are marriage material. I give up. I am taking the brown woman pill. Not even an incel, I’ve fucked dozens of women including white women. There just aren’t any worth marrying and having kids with. Just the fact that I own guns and vote conservative eliminates 60% of the dating pool

While we're living, the dreams we had as children fade away.

I can still buy back in but yeah sometimes I'm a bonehead...

Feels so humiliating to be an ugly beta male that's never had a gf or had any woman show any interest ever. I'm in my early 30s and all chance at normieness is gone. I'm simply brutally ugly and will never amount to anything.

I currently save £2000 a month (this won't last) but I don't feel rich enough to buy a house or car or go on any holidays. I feel like my life satisfaction would improve linearly with additional money, with no upper bound. I wish I was an American and could get American wages. Living in the UK is like trying to grind in the tutorial level in the discontinued free demo disk that was handed out in cornflake boxes.

Fuck I hate "great value" updates versus Rocker updates. Dude he isn't even on his regular bullshit threads on other boards. You know how fucking hard it is to find an anonymous poster on an anonymous image board???

>no more overnight party with your friends bringing together their xboxes and having a Halo LAN party in high-school
Beautiful times that are now in the past like tears lost in the rain.

Frugality and living modestly are a total cope. Being middle class is humiliating.

I want more money. I just want more money. I somehow make more than 85% (or something like that) of households in the UK and I still have a shitty, boring lifestyle.

>finished work on Friday evening
>went walking outside in the dark
>browsed internet
>went to the gym through autopilot habit
>decided to binge on junk food afterwards and had a tonne of junk food including some large ice cream cheesecake thing
>woke up on Saturday morning
>did chores
>went for a walk outside and both the podcasts I normally listen to on Saturdays had boring new episodes
>read and drank coffee in car
>ate regular food at home
>read a book
>plan to maybe go for a walk, buy junk food, and binge while watching The Killer (don't watch movies often)
>will go to gym later if I don't feel too bloated

Another one of those Saturdays where I contemplate my life philosophy every 5 minutes. As usual, I'm settling on "no philosophy".

I'm feeling particularly bitter about being an ugly beta male lately. People treat me like shit everywhere. At work I have been boxed in to doing work that someone one or two levels below me should be doing.

I normally tell myself that my binges are "the last ever" but I can't be bothered. I recently went around 5 or 7 weeks without any junk food but have had some on most days for the past month.

amber hearth will never gonna shit on your chest, why even live?

I'm in my early 30s. I've never worked hard on anything in my life. I've never put sustained effort in to anything productive outside of work.

I can't even truly "have fun". I day dream about playing video games for hours at a time during work hours but then don't play them. The story of my adult life has been mindlessly browsing the internet in my free time in order to stay in some sort of indeterminate fugue state that avoids the initial barrier to working on productive stuff or the initial guilt that comes from fun stuff.

My job is a comfy wfh job that pays me £60k per year but it's an almost pointless bureaucrat job. It's worthwhile if you accept the structure of the company but in a more ideal world it would be cut, along with most of my division. Also, £60k is basically the new £35k, a just about acceptable salary but not good enough to live any luxury at all.

I spent almost the entire 00s daydreaming that I'd learn programming or something else and do something productive but I always procrastinated.

Nothing ever really happens in my life. I have had zero social life since school.

I'm not stupid or oversocialised enough to believe in any religions, philosophies, ideologies, heuristics, habits, customs, esoterica, spiritual beliefs, dogmas, historical patterns, metaphysics, superstitions, social conformisms, groupthink, extrapolations, deductions (apart from on the page), forms, the supernatural or occult, aphorisms, nationalisms, ethics, probabilities, media slogans, memes, social panics, manias, purity spirals, dogpiles, or zeitgeists.

How can I cope with the fact I lost 0.2 BTC trading shitcoins. I could have made 5 BTC if I just held those shitcoins too.

Now I'm not sure I'll ever be able to 1 BTC with the halving and BTC ETF so soon.

>finally get first girlfriend at 29
>she is 27
>in my car at night
>ask her if she wants to give me a blowjob
>"No anon, I am too old for childish stuff like this"
Thanks I guess.
