Nobody expects you to do anything. Just don't expect anything in return and you're golden.

BTW, you sound like me in the 80s. And that's not meant as an insult or something, it's just an observation. I'm curious if that says something about the economic & society cycle and where we are in it.

I was born in the 80s. So I got to see "the peak" of everything come tumbling down, right around I became an adult.

There was a time that hard work could pay off, I've seent it. That's the worse. To know that things can be better, has been but was snatched away before I had a chance to start the fucking game. I'm not smart enough to "learn 2 code" I've fucking tried.

I've already sacrificed a lot, I had to reboot my life from scratch three times already. I'm too fucking old to just "try again", and I refuse to live in a tent or my car. That's not living that's survival and what is the point of that, so the billionaires can leech off my labor a few more years til health problems or a crazy person takes me out? Fuck everything about that shit.
