We’re currently living in the Grift Age of civilization.

Despite my best efforts I do act like a dumbass at times.

You’re correct.

I thought he was a bot. I was wrong.

SCAM!

Edit: Not a scam. The mods responded to me. I apologize, I’m paranoid.

I’m sorry for that. I don’t take solace in the mutual suffering of others. I hope things improve for at least one of us.

I’m worried about suffering during the next few decades. I’ve been laid off so many times and have so many bouts of unemployment that my savings are stunted. I started putting away 25% of my paychecks into 401K and an IRA. Then DOGE cut the funding to my department.

I’m hitting 40 this year and I feel old. I feel really really old. I feel old and scared to the point of despair. The first 40 years I’ve had on Earth has been mostly miserable and if I get another 40 years it’s looking bleak.

I feel old.

You’re talking about that VTuber ain’t ya?

While that is a nice fantasy I am unfortunately spending the grand majority of my time daily filling out job applications and watching coding tutorials at 2x speed.

Unless I receive a grant or some sort of income I can live off of up front I don’t have the luxury to do a passion project at this time.

A podcast about the pre-columbian Americas which in all honesty would be a Hardcore History knockoff.

World domination?

I basically live in an M. C. Escher painting so I just go walk outside which no matter where I go it’s uphill both ways.

I won’t go into specifics for my own privacy but I was a government contractor for the United States federal government. DOGE is apparently responsible for my department losing funding.

While you are correct that the “foreigner god” isn’t directly responsible, but that’s due to the fact that the conservatives (or just the ruling class in general) didn’t drape themselves in Christianity they would pick up whatever is most convenient.

The reason I use the term “foreigner god” is because I don’t like any religions except for those of the aboriginals of the Americas. I’m a Mesoamerican history fanboy and from my perspective nothing good came from the Old World discovering the New World. Christ is a foreigner and so am I, both alien in nature on soil that would have been better off without us.

I was laid off from my job on Friday. There’s nothing to celebrate and those who call themselves “Christians Leaders” are directly responsible for my unemployment. I despise the foreigner god with all my heart.

Scared and gutted.

Screaming alone in a house all day while living in total isolation.

I check the Tonalpolhualli everyday. Today is ome cozcacuatli “two vulture”. Aztec Calendar

I hate the Rocky Horror Picture Show because I used to have to clean the theater I worked at after midnight showings of the movie.
