Selling off 70% of my time to a corporation every waking day so I can “retire” at 75

[Prøphet]

I can’t wait to have all the time and money I want when I’m 75 and in a wheelchair! Sounds like an excellent trade! I’m sure I will love to travel the world in leisure and finally have all my experiences then.

Are we serious?

 

[Prøphet]

Retirement should be the other way around. Everybody receives a free universal salary from 18-30, then you’re forced to work until you die of old age.

"retire" consult the population pyramid buddy we're not getting a pension
in fact we probably aren't making it to 75
there will likely be a world war in the next 50 years, major bioweapon pandemic(s), artificial superintelligence, runaway climate collapse.. billions WILL die

True, it is genuinely scary looking at the demographics of the west. I could definitely see them manufacturing some bullshit war if it would make them a few cents.

Maybe they’ll invent transhumanist immortality just so we can work for longer

the elite are getting transhumanism, we're getting GoyPods where we get intravenous nutrient sludge and fentanyl whilst our synapses are used as compute for GPT-7

Meanwhile HTBS get online simps or some betabuxx boyfriend to payroll their travels as young as 18. Seriously I've seen that so much, it's insane, 18-20 year old girls have travelled to 20+ countries like wtf? Meanwhile I've been stuck to my computer since I was 14. Thankfully I do make good money online whilst not working much, I don't even spend it on anything because I don't find any joy in doing anything that involves going outside, and I just reinvest it instead.

if you had similarly low self respect and are a prettyboy in any sense there is a 50 year old gay man out there that would give you that treatment

It’s incredibly fucking bleak

I’m regularly in awe at what a pathetic poor shadow of shit my life has become

Wake up, prep for work, commute, work, commute back, knock out necessary chores and errands, sleep

Forever
