This past year, and semester especially, has been way more fucking busy than usual: I hardly have time to enjoy vidya anymore, I have tons of threads I want to work on & reply to, and I just constantly feel as if I am stuck in this never-ending, relentless, and menial grind. It has been like this for the past few years, yet this year has just been even worse, and is why I said in a thread I made a few months back that things are just going to get worse as this year progresses, for myself & others.
In fact, ever since highschool, my entire life has just felt as if it is nothing more than a meaningless grind: Constantly jumping from one task to the next, only adhering to the value of engaging in it simply because I was told to. In fact, I think this is what planted the seeds of questioning the very "system" as a whole; what actual purpose does any of this "work" have? What will it do to actually benefit me & the collective of the society/civilization I live under?
I'm fucking burned-out constantly, and working a wageslave doesn't help with that, yet I need it to afford copes: I know that many of you live in places far worse than the US, and I am not trying to invalidate anyones experiences, but believe me, there's a reason myself & other UScels -such as @Corvus rip to a real one- call this place nicknames such as "Shitmerica" or my personal favorite, "The Jewnited States of Shitmerica"
Most people here, regardless of occupation, social-standing, etc. report being burned-out constantly, due to the shitty work & education "hustle & grind bro" culture we have here:
And that's just the workforce, College students say the same thing:
I wish I had more time to post here, hangout on discord with brocels, vidyamaxx, read philosophy, learn more history, fap, drugmaxx, etc. yet I can't, and I feel even more utterly defeated by life due to this meaningless, perpetual, and soul-draining grind.
