What are older zoomers (27-31) doing with their lives? I feel like a combination of the COVID era and the same economic shit that screwed millennials has kept everyone in that age from moving past their mid-20s. Still living with their parents, unmarried, no stable career, no real direction, etc
I’ve got a job, some savings, a relationship, the adult responsibilities, I’ve been incredibly lucky all my life. I still wanna kill myself. It never gets better, you only get distracted.
I post on imageboards
I'm sitting in my room jacking off
>>751678you are right, I moved out of my parents when I got a job but had no rizz and I didn't get laid, worse move of my life, lost a ton of money for nothing.
It's like the third time i post this but i bought Hytale because i wanted to be part of the first wave of modders
so i thought i could maybe make a portfolio and then do mod comissions once i got to that golden era of Hytale modding
Immediately-ish i found a team who wants to make the more robust firearm framework and so i've been doing models for Hytale
we've discussed giving out seasonal gun packs through Patron although a couple of us are excited for another modder's team we've been talking with might be getting hired by Simon Hypixel in like a week orso to make and handle the automation/tinkering update(s)

I hate successful people who still fish for sympathy for their "depression".
You're just lazy
It's the same shit since latter-born Gen X.
>Still living with their parents, unmarried, no stable career, no real direction, etc
Why is marriage seen as a mandatory maturity license?
So many miserable people are married and they fuck their spouses and kids, physically and psychologically.
The worst part is how society gives automatic sympathy to married folk, while ignoring single people who are facing crisis.
>has kept everyone in that age from moving past their mid-20s.
You mean their mid-teens.
Mid-twenties is when you're supposed to be already established.
> I feel like a combination of the COVID era
Why do people still blame COVID for any social setbacks?
Does anyone read history about previous pandemics?
>>751620>What are older zoomers (27-31) doing with their lives? saved up a decent amount of money from a previous job but can't find another job and am NEETmoding. still stuck with my (hard right) parents. closeted gay. terrified of moving out because the country's always on the verge of economic and political crisis. going nowhere. feel like i'm in neverending limbo.
>>751722>Why is marriage seen as a mandatory maturity license?it's nearly impossible to afford a decent life unless you're dual income no kids
(25F) Just barely got back to college. Plan to get a driver's license since that's prerequisite to getting an account at my local bank.
Fucking hookers and traveling the world while drunkposting on leftypol cope and seethe
i wanted to draw. put it off ever since childhood. climate change and growing fascism gave me an excuse to pursue it to the end. ha couldve been studying or doing something but no im just selfish in the end. i hope i will retvrn to this world eventually. think probably the "world" will rip it off eventually so dont worry about my due comeuppance. feels weird the mask of happiness feels so good but i feel myself being closed off from the quote on quote "world"(the internet) whenever i put on this mask of ignorance. right now playing zato, a visual novel game about an enclosed soviet city(called zatos, usually for high rank personnel) about a girl who loves the world apparently and the mystery of the disappearance of the only person who stood up for her.
>>751828Ngl, a few days ago I thought I finally got tricked by a Thai ladyboy. The signs were so strong I ended up confronting her. Her voice was very trans sounding and she had all the right surgeries to give trans vibes. She ended up proving me wrong and I felt so bad lmaooooo.
Anyway, that day I learned I wasn’t into trans woman.
>>751829You should try men that are hairy. Much better than women.
>>751844Why? I'm Herding Ukrainians back to the meat grinder.
I work, come home, help my mom with fixing up the house. Other than that it's procrastinating on shit like gamdev, working out, and reading more. There's a lot of stuff in general I want to do but I'm indecisive and lazy to act on them consistently so I never really get anywhere.
>>751722>Why do people still blame COVID for any social setbacks?It heavily depends on how your country did restrictions but I spent two years without going out for fun or seeing any of my friends and three years having online-only classes (for college, I imagine it was even worse for people who were in school). In terms of my social life and a few other things it absolutely felt like those 2 or 3 years didn't exist.
>Why is marriage seen as a mandatory maturity license?Maybe it isn't but before gen Y or at most gen X you were definitely "supposed" to be married before 27.
>>751848Bullshit, nazifaggot
>>751837
Ok millennial. How's adulting working out for you in your theories and forties? Millennials are a fucked species as well esp now that they're middle aged with still not much prospects.
>>751842NTA but hairy men chafe my dick.
No thanks.
Hopefully generation alpha is the last one and they'll live forever. Fuck this world it's always been so shit and pointless. Living and dying over dumb shit.
>>751886>Millennials are a fucked species as well esp now that they're middle aged with still not much prospects.This is very true, since 2008 was never recovered from. I'm old enough (39) to remember when you didn't have to fight for a job at MacDolands. If you needed a shit job for just some minuscule income, you could get one within a day or at most a week. Not anymore, I feel bad for the younger people just trying to work at Shart-Mart.
>>751974Bpo hoo.
This is how life was outside the west the whole time
>>751974Younger zoomers are gonna be even more fucked since even college degrees aren't guaranteeing a job anymore. I'm 28 and I broke into my field just before the entry-level job market collapsed. And no one has any response to this other than "should have learned a trade bro!"
>>751879Bad news, Carlos. We're shipping your cousin Juan back.
>>751976no it wasnt. its also gotten significantly worse in my country
>>751973That's why reincarnation is an infinite hellscape
>>751976>>751981This is why I say blue collar training should be mandated curriculum in schools
>>752006your "curriculum" is a roadmap to the welfare line.
>>752006One problem with that is that which blue collar training is valuable is something that's gonna vary over the years, and what you learned at 15 won't necessarily be useful at 35. Some professions have lasted that long, of course, we're gonna need plumbers and electricians for a while longer, but we never think about the cobblers or tool and die makers. Those were valuable trades too.
Ideally in socialism labor would be more rationally allocated and training would be ad hoc and free according to the new needs of the labor market instead of being strictly tied to education. You learn the necessary minimum for the lowest tier of the job and then you learn the rest along with your career development. Requiring people to do four years of college education multiple times as we do now when a job becomes obsolete is ridiculous, that's a humongous waste of human potential and resources. Also, many jobs straight-up do not require that much knowledge to begin with.
>>752012How?
Most people in welfare lines don't have blue collar jobs. They work at fast food or grocery store with college degrees.
>>752015>One problem with that is that which blue collar training is valuable is something that's gonna vary over the years, and what you learned at 15 won't necessarily be useful at 35. Fair point.
>Some professions have lasted that long, of course, we're gonna need plumbers and electricians for a while longer, but we never think about the cobblers or tool and die makers. Those were valuable trades too.Yea, most blue collar jobs that are advertised are usually the more nuts-and-bolts type.
>Ideally in socialism labor would be more rationally allocated and training would be ad hoc and free according to the new needs of the labor market instead of being strictly tied to education. You learn the necessary minimum for the lowest tier of the job and then you learn the rest along with your career developmentHoly crap, you're right.
In fact, I think this might be the real problem with the job market.
Careers are based on academic priorities rather than labor priorities.
>Requiring people to do four years of college education multiple times as we do now when a job becomes obsolete is ridiculous, that's a humongous waste of human potential and resources.It's about colleges milking as much money as they can from desperate proles.
> Also, many jobs straight-up do not require that much knowledge to begin with.You mean they don't require formal academic knowledge.
But yes.
The problem is, socialist aspirations seem to have abandoned the labor aspect of society, preferring academics far too much
>>752026>>752006Try reading a trade posting sometime. They require your own tools, years of experience they call "entry-level," and are filled by immigrants and felons
>>752039That's because most native born law abiding citizens have been indoctrinated into thinking trades are for losers and due to schools removing blue collar classes.
Blue collar job postings are no different from unskilled or white collar job postings in that sense.
>>751991The two halves of your sentence are mutually contradictory
>>752164It's so funny that firsties think that there's individual bootstrap "strategies" against general economic force majeur
"Learn a trade", " learn to code"
You can't do shit bro, you're a frog in a whirlpool
>>752284first half is
>no, the job market outside of the west wasnt always horribleand the second half is
>nowadays the job market has gotten worse where i live, it used to be better >>751905But they are hawt
>>751989Reminder that Trump deports at a 5 times lower rate than Obama while the US is still under 38% white and sinking more rapidly than ever before
>>752290The job market in my country has never been good for its entire existence, mostly because it was created in 1991
something funny happens when you turn 27, you start seeing yourself as basically 35 and start bemoaning that it's over
>>752818Well, it's more a thing that happens between 25 thru 40.
People exaggerate age numbers.
>>752934well for mid-30s onwards there's a biological basis since your body does start slowing down considerably. but it's like that's still years away lil bro, go live
>>751624Envious basement dwellers will never get it. My happiest time was unemployed living at home.
>>751678>the only reason to move out is to have your own place for sextrvke
>>752305And? What about deaths?
>>751981This was the case since the 2000s
>>751976Not really.
I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY, I CAN'T FIND A JOB, I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS, I BURNED ALL MY BRIDGES AND I DON'T REGRET IT, FUCK THEM, MY DAD IS RETIRED BIPOLAR SCHIZO WHO IS ON THE LIVING ROOM ALL DAY SO I CAN'T BRING BITCHES IN I ALSO DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK TO WOMEN, I QUIT DRUGS SO I JUST SMOKE TOBACCO ALL DAY AND THINK ABOUT HOW MY LIFE TURNED OUT LIKE THIS
FUCK ALL OF YOU, I DESERVED A BETTER LIFE, I NEED MORE MONEY RIGHT FUCKING NOW I NEED WHORES IN MY DICK BOUNCING ON IT
