I woke up this morning. again. so. I just want to do what I always want to do and curl into a ball with a blanket over my head. Im addicted to this whole food and shelter thing though so I guess I will push through the molasses and send out resumes.
Yea, job hunting is a bitch (as someone who's aldo doing it)
I mean Im used to serial unemployment and have had to be searching at least like half a dozen times in my life. Some of those quite long with temping and such during it. This is patently the worst I have ever experienced.
Job market really sucks everywhere eh
I mean im pretty sure across the us but not sure further out.
Yea, I aint from the us and shit sucks
sorry man. sorta sucks as I had a fantasy that maybe it was better out there.
Bleak world isn't it ?
Im kinda old and its all very surreal to me. I did well in school and went into stem and dreamed of doing research. I think I envisioned a star trek kind of future where researching was what many people did and automation and such would make us a more egalitarian society. I spent my youth seeing the next millenium around the corner and thinking it would be the start of a true human eutopia. Then the millenium actually came and things just got worse and worse and worse.
I don't think achieving agi and automation is gonna end well for us plebs sadly, maybe im too pessimistic but they need us cause we are their worker ants, what happens when they don't ?
and computer chips are expensive while flesh is virtually free.
Well if they can automate everything including resource sourcing and supply chain, the billionaire class won't need us .
Even with fleshlights blowjobs still sell so take heart. You will never go hungry as long as you are good with 25 calories at a time. So like only need to do like 50 a day. Maybe a 100. Or like 37 in a row (that is from the movie clerks)
