I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck 'by doing commentary', leave me the fuck alone

I absolutely hate it. I just want to BE but that is impossible because we've turned modern life into an insufferable game.

I want to work a reasonable amount, and have enough time and money to create for my own pleasure if I so choose. I don't even mind content creation in theory, I see it no different from writing or doing art. It's the constant pursuit of more, more, more, both status and money, that gets to me. I want freedom, security, and comfort.

I want freedom, security, and comfort.

Unfortunately, you can only have one of these at a time

You can have all three under communism.
