I love a cool lifted truck, has nothing to do with my penis size. Also can’t afford one so I’ll never own one anyway.

Well he’s not wrong, it’s definitely hateful. We don’t say it because we think it’s fair they get billions and we have to scrape by while doing the actual work.

So is the “nice job Matt” a sarcastic reply to the “Matt hung himself in MY office” mug? Or were they actually hopeful for him doing something good?

It depends per case, my friend kept studying while I dropped out (due to private circumstances).

My friend ended up at the same employer for the same pay only years later, he wasn’t a good fit for his field.

A few years later I jumped ship to try and develop myself into a better paid job, I am now an actual crane operator with a beefy wage. My friend is still there making the same low wage.

But he got lucky on a different matter, due to him living at home until 33 he did manage to buy a house with massive savings. I haven’t yet.

This is life, there aren’t any given certainties. Only people who claim their experience will be the same for you.

Must have been Gran Turismo 3, during those days I was switching from pocket money to spending my own income so it’s not sure if GT3 was still a gift and GT4 was actually my first self bought game.

I do remember i owned the platinum edition of GT3 and GT4 was bought at release.

It was definitely worth it, Up until today I still dream about owning a race sim setup to do some serious racing and developing my skill. But I never got past a used Logitech G29 mounted to a desk and a chair that kept rolling away from the pedals type of setup.

I had a fairly long term of being unemployed during Covid which ended up in me buying that G29 as I spent a lot of time playing GT sport and finally for the first time ever got all gold on the licenses, so I knew I was making some good progress from all the time spent.

I even dared to try online racing and as I got better slowly managed to hold myself among others, which made me happy.

I miss those showers at home, where you didn’t need to care about bills as your parents protected you from those.

My showers easily ended up being 30min long, looking back I wish those bills still took a similar % of your income. I’d happily sink away into my empty brain under a steaming hot shower.

If they don’t stop digging this slop hole any deeper, I won’t be coming back.

Heck my 7900xtx is serving me plenty well and my Ryzen processor is doing more than enough.

Seeing how my old lower specced pc lasted me 11 years I figure this one might be able to chug along for a few more at this point.

I love silverware like this, really brings out the ole: “everything used to be so much better” in me.

I’m a crane operator, if we still got the wages people would get 15 years ago and all the required paperwork it would feel important.

But now it’s just a: “hey guy, go try it out…see how it goes” and if it goes well you get to stay…for the same wage and no official paperwork to prove you’re capable and as such no opportunity to do the same at a new employer and maybe build up your wage.

It’s a bit if a run on ramble, but yeah… that’s how I feel, after 30 years of trying to save money, increase my skills and wage, not owning a car to save on costs and doing everything on a bicycle up to 40km a day and still not being able to buy a house…I’m ready to throw in the towel

Woosh

I’m European and already figured this out the moment I got on the internet 🤣

If the yung-uns have no drive to turn back time and actually use and develop their brains, because my gen isn’t going to rescue them and the boomers have also fallen into the internet trap. It’s on them to save themselves, really.

If these trends keep going the way they are then idiocracy becomes reality.

They probably have been standardized, by every single brand independently😅

You know, how they usually go about things.

Because if you do that now, you’ll end up on a a.i. made website with some fever dreams for images which hold no real facts and or truths. Only half facts jumbled together with half truths into incomprehensible sentences which feel like a random combination of words that seem to be endless and unmemorizeable.

I’ll say it here again, i have an 7900xtx i expect it to run silky smooth.

If it doesn’t, that’s on you brother.

I also play on 1440p and it doesn’t reach a well enough framerate at ultra settings, i set it on high and adjusted some things to lower settings to get a better framerate.

That worked very well for me, turns out my job was far too boring and offered no challenges.

I made the mistake of not succesfully monetizing my workouts, because groceries got so expensive i had to stop my gym membership.

Have been a vegetable ever since, zero motivation and energy to do shit.

There it is, haha.

Gave me a good chuckle as i’m with you here.

I have a similar sentiment when it comes to ads, my device, i pay for the internet and the device is inside my home. I’ll decide if you get to show me ads.

When they keep firing more questions to try and get a respomse from me they are actually just breaking me.

I also can not deal with 2 people talking to me at the same time.

Ads are out of control, they fill my day.

My home, my rules. Ads are not allowed on the devices i BOUGHT.

99% of the targeted ads i get tend to be targeted at someone who has a family and makes 3 times my wage, so you’re wasting business resources for your own gain and wasting my time by serving them to me.

So fuck off outta my house.

I never saw this ad and i tell you it took me until my fourth game before i found out about it…i was mind blown
