What a fucking farce life has become.

I'm going to be stuck in an office when it's sunny outside. I'm in my early 30s. I wish I had learned programming years ago, as they're the only people with flexibility and demand for their skills in the labour market. Instead I'm in a non-technical job and realising that fitting in with normies is the only way to survive. I did do well at school and always thought I'd have a technical job but my degree was not well chosen.

My existential dread really intensifies on days like this when it's a bit cloudy and a normal temperature and the day feels so mundane.

Those are all about building up spooks. I'm too non-cucked and intellectually honest to believe those things.
