Honestly, I back the hustle. Even catch me outside chick. If that gets you ahead, fair does. Men have been espousing far more damaging rhetoric and making a buck. Go for it. Disclaimer: I’ve not listened to her podcast so she could be a Nazi for all I know. But young people, cost of living - if it works and it’s not hurting you or the community, then go for it.

Yeah without any stated stake in this, this seems to be just looking for free smut to read. This isn’t the place.

Oh mine got the memo. They lay peacefully, horizontally in my jaw, like little Saddam Husseins until they decided they wanted to visit other parts of my jaw and make friends along the way.

My friends all went to uni and I went straight into full time work after college. They were having a blast while i was speed running the adult human condition. They had overseas trips and big uni balls and I worked and saved.

By my mid 20s I’d bought a house and was quite advanced in my career, and now I’m middle aged I’m in a far better financial position than they are, and I’m old enough now to put aside FOMO for my youth.

But here’s the thing, I did the work really hard thing and got the pay off that was promised. This generation? I don’t think it matters what they do, they’re fucked. And that’s bitterly unfair.

If I were their age, at least in my country, I’d do a trade, travel, try and live off the grid or look into tiny homes and communal living. The system was always rigged but once upon a time there were ways you could get ahead, with some sacrifice and delayed gratification. It’s just not true anymore and it’s bullshit to tell them otherwise.

I’d counsel young people (again in my country) to learn useful skills and live it up. Don’t even try to play the game.

So many people I know through the workplace have done the Myers Briggs nonsense and hold onto their persona like a badge of pride. They’re well meaning, intelligent people who don’t know the background of MB and how it’s as scientifically rigorous as those paper chatterboxes we made in school to help you find out which boy you were going to marry by picking a colour.

I don’t say anything when people bring it up. I also have a few star sign friends. Sigh.

When he logs out the NPCs around him only then realise they might be NPCs and start freaking out, hoping that they too can log out. Because if they can’t then they’re not real…
