    I went on chatgpt and said “Write an advertisement that plays on the fears of gen z then suggests they eat a snickers”. It returned almost the same as above.

      I worked full time through college. So much that it often interfered with the time that I needed to be spending on study. I still owe $40k.

      My ex husband who’s billionaire family paid his tuition while I paid our bills owes nothing of course.

      Continue to be thankful. I made some boneheaded choices in college which resulted in my throwing away a full ride, and I left school with like 80k in debt. Thankfully, I am much more fiscally responsible than I was academically responsible, and I managed to pay that off over the course of like 7 years (aided in no small part by the forbearance periods Biden forced through during COVID). Which is good, because more boneheaded choices were made which resulted in a significant change to my financial situation. If I were still making payments at this juncture, I would be in a position where I’d be moving back into mom’s basement just to make ends meet.

      Not that there is anything inherently shameful in that (it’s fucking hard out here, and if that’s a resource that you have available, it should not be turned away simply because of pride), but it does cause me to wake every morning pleased I didn’t listen to any “financial gurus” out there who talk about shit like “good debt”.

    I genuinely can’t tell if this is fake. I fucking hate this world. Anyone want to team up to build a time machine and travel the future until the perfect utopia is achieved?

      How about we team up and try to make this world better instead?

      We’re probably more likely to see a return to feudalism, with the wealthy getting worshipped as god-kings and regular folks going back to being illiterate peasants working the land for their overlords.

      That’s a big assumption that humanity actually makes it out of this situation the wealthy have gotten everyone into.

      But things will survive, just not sure it will be humanity.

    Lace it with LSD and it’ll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.

      I used to do this and it helped my mental state a lot. LSD refresh every 6-12 months.

      They are now putting laughing gas in energy drinks, as I found out recently. It’s also in whipped creme which might be one reason people are all over it.
      I’m loving it. So much better than CO2. Also makes for good social commentary.

      Only thing I can promise you with somewhat high degree of certainty is that you won’t stay that way for long. 2-3 years tops.

    I miss Nihilist Arby’s.

    Because when you’re down in life, nothing quite helps like getting fat, diabetes and cavities.

    Treat yourself to even more problems!

      Tbf, you don’t get diabetes from eating sugar. But the fat and cavities will do. *eats his feelings*
