I've basically given up on everything. Death is more humble than participating in this culture.

It's literally my "retirement plan."

After my older family pass away like my mother, father, and grandmother, I'm taking a trip to the store and buying a shotgun to eat then fucking off somewhere deep into the woods where hopefully no one has to accidentally find me.

Hey, I know things are dire, but remember our patron saint Luigi.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

seriously, if your gonna kill yourself you might as well take out the worst scumbags around before you do

I mean you can imagine more than that, my plan is to take loans and credit cards I have no plans to pay back, ball out all over the world and then book a solo sky dive, perhaps over an active volcano and dive straight into it

I mean at least take out some fascist politician or something.

If you're in the US, get the gun now, you might need it for other reasons. Fascists typically try to take the guns at some point. Don't believe Republican 2nd amendment bullshit. The leaders would love to take the guns, Trump even said as much.

Honestly the best thing that's ever happened to me in my career is the AI bubble. not because it's a good thing, it's a god damn horrible thing, and because it sucks I'm making money now fixing other companies reliance on it. that's it. Without that I'd probably be unemployed right now.

Now i'm just saving pretty much everything I make because I need to finish before the bubble bursts. I've essentially entered myself into a race that I NEED to win very soon.

Do you mind sharing where I can find such a role and what the title for such jobs is, I'm currently unemployed software engineer but I need to start saving for the upcoming recession as well

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 hour ago
