Every time I spend some time browsing the comment sections of the internet I kind of want to give up on everything. I don't because I know it's wrong, but the psychic damage is severe. And I'm doing all this sober.

Sometimes I wish I was more intelligent and could participate in more serious projects, but I'm not worthy and nobody seems to want to accept me. Which is fair idk why they'd accept me when there's always a superior choice that's faster, better, stronger than myself. Why would an org recruit me? Especially when you can automate so much nowadays, why would they have me there?

It feels like I'm just a rusty cog and why would anyone want to put that in their machine when there's brand new ones and the social machines need less and less cogs?

I'm not naive enough to expect the entire world to change itself to benefit me, someone they didn't even ask to be born. So why should people give a shit about the poor decisions of my parents? The sad things is afaik my father's out there making even more children. Be careful what you wish for when you boost your population numbers. Look at what you get. I'm completely useless.
