  • Going to grad school is the 30-something crisis, I’m sorry to inform you.

    I went in my 30s because I couldn’t afford to finish in my 20s (and also health problems and undiagnosed Autism). Not everyone gets the privilege of progressing life’s milestones at the same pace as others.

    I’m also not a fan of the framing of wanting to grow and change as a person through improving your education and taking positive steps towards doing that as a ‘crisis’.

    Not trying to come at you specifically, I’m just tired of this mindset. Going back and finishing your Masters later in life isn’t a crisis. It’s a normal ass thing people have been doing forever.


  • McDonalds being the biggest fastfood company on earth has to be the most obvious signifier ever that capitalism is a lie. The burgers are objectively bad. The patties are as thin as cardboard. The ingredients are cheap and nasty. They don’t even taste good and I can bet you will fell sick after eating one. I could make a better burger in my sleep.

    Yet people will be like “fuck yeah America boorgoor! You won’t get this luxury in communism!”

    How could it be any more obvious that that slop is only popular because of advertising and addictive chemicals? How could it be more obvious that this shit isn’t successful because it’s good, but because it fucked you? Why at people so proud to be duped?!










  • Idk I just wish they’d stop rebooting things.

    Maybe you want some change in your life. Nothing wrong with pursuing something new. You should never stop learning and growing (if that’s what you want to do).

    I think media is very good at making people feel anxious. Anxious, sad people who worry about social status, age, being productive to the status quo etc are easier to sell things to. Try not to let it make you over think and just do what you want to do with your life.
