People think suffering or having suffered carries some inherent importance, and therefore get a crude ego fix out of complaining so much.

God forbid you point them to actual solutions, because then you allegedly have no "empathy", lol.

All they really need to do is evaluate their lives and conduct, choose where they want to go, and fucking work.

Spontaneous fun.

Not only do they like to travel, they like to "go on adventures".

Cause we don't get decent money and nobody gives a shit of your opinion. Yeah that's kinda gay

You're biologically wired to have children at that age but people have gobbled up population control propaganda.

"Even the ones with good jobs that pay." Yeah because nothing could possibly be more fulfilling than being able to spend your time and money however you want. Nope.

Most people who make good money don't have time to enjoy it, and vice versa. My friends making 90-100k work all the time, never date or go out, are always stressed and hate life. They're just saving for retirement.

How did people in the 80's, 90's and 2000's making that and more plus working tbe same hours or more, manage to have children and raise a family?

Your generation and your problems aren't unique. You have just been raised to think they are- ooh you have student loan debt? I'm sure tbe 18-20 year olds wo were sent off to die in WW2 and Vietnam wish they had student debt.

I don't have student debt because I'm smart and got money :) and I don't disagree with you that by many metrics things are better now than ever before. However, by some hard to measure yet still important measures such as social cohesion, sense of family community and self etc things are getting worse.

I get that a lot of things about millenials suck, but we are genetically identical to the generation before us. Saying "young people suck" solves nothing and explains nothing - something else is going wrong. Look at the hikikomori in Japan, MGTOW in the west, declining birth rates and declining family and religion adoption rates, rising suicide etc. Something is amiss.

You guys have basically made Idiocracy into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Have kids or don't. But there's a reason why so many people say that their kids are the best thing that ever happened to them. And it's not lip service.

TO ADD: I'm sorry if I came off as callous or blaming "muh" millenials. I understand that the younger generation has to put up with a lot of shit I didn't. Thank god smartphones didn't exist when I was a teen or in college. I think me and a lot of my friends/peers would either be in jail or never be able to find gainful employment. That said, take some time to heed Timothy Leary's adive and tune on, tune in, drop out.

Maaaaaaaaaaannnn.

Loss of religion/meaning; limited and unhealthy human interaction (largely due to social media); little to no job security; almost impossible to own your own property here in the UK. And yeah, unrealistic expectations.

But - not everyone lives with their parents, or has that safety net of family, and the financial support that accompanies it. Not everyone can 'go on holiday in their youth and just enjoy it'. For some people standing on their own two feet is a struggle in their early 20s. I know it was for me.

I am almost 30 now and the early 20s were some of the worst years of my life. Some people don't have the option of 'getting out there and enjoying it'... Many people grow up without a stable or loving family, etc... and life is a struggle from the start. The "I like to travel" metropolitan types are the minority. They annoy me too. But just because you had it easy don't assume everyone else did/does. I think you're speaking from a place of naivety and unrealistic optimism. Some people have it easy, some people don't. Everyone has their problems big or small. The world is not a benign, nice place. It's harsh and unforgiving.

That’s real shit, whores. Respect.

The world is a ssscuuummmbaaaaag.

I’m 29 and I say to this: “Damn.”

I didn't have it easy by any stretch. I'm just not a pussy and find ways to amuse myself without being a brooding faggot. If you really have been down in the gutter, literally (homelessness, jail/prison), you'll realize that there are so many more people far worse off. Even worse, they're fucking stupid (room temperature IQ's) and or seriously mentally ill.

That said, whatever happened to Gary Cooper?

Fog nigger.

I think the technology addiction is the main culprit. It's inherently addictive and unsatisfying. (refreshes Reddit)

To summarize one of Uncle Ted's basic arguments about the ills of modern society:

As humans, we can face three types of problems. Easy, Hard and Impossible. All the endeavor and effort of our predecessors helped solve the hard problems which humans use to have to contend with - you know, stable food sources, safety, and so on.

Now all we're left with is easy problems (which offer no satisfaction from solving) and impossible ones (which by definition can't be solved) so it's really hard to be contented as people, as what we are wired to feel rewarded from is no longer possible.

His manifesto really should be required reading instead if sam fag tween book about werewolves and vampires.

Yeah, maaaaaaaan.

You're just an old faggot.

Fag

Evolutionarily you shouldnt get that old without having like 8 kids already so it makes sense your life feels empty and meaningless.

No struggle. Struggle is key to appreciation.

internet

This really isn’t the place for posts like this.

Maybe you just hang out with a bunch of pussies?

“I just want to travel” is a spruced up way to say “I want to do nothing but be on vacation.”

Your boomer and x-er parents fucked you up trying to make you feel special. It’s like your friend told you an ok movie was amazing, and tgen you’re underwhelmed. Don’t worry,by 40 you’ll see everything is bullshit.

Social media ruined everything. I cant believe how much damage it’s done in just 10 years. It’s concentrated stupid accelerant.

This is an interesting discussion if you've got the time Doc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmXcjvL9VSc

Because they don't have a defunct radio show to focus their hate on?
