    I agree with you for the most part.

    The thing that bugs me is myself and family not being that way here, but the system that permeates every single interaction starts to clench on you. You’ll be content, but the water keeps rising and trying to take more and more from you.

    The costs keep rising, the packages keep shrinking, the wages are always stagnate so you’re supposed to hustle harder, work longer, get another job or clown around for attention or ‘sell feet pics bb’ or whatever other ridiculous hustle just to maintain a basic standard.

    For people who see the consumerist rat race for the scam it is, we’re passively and actively punished at every turn.

    That’s the part I’m sick of. I just wanna live simply, splurge on hardware every few years, and make videogames.

    I struggle to imagine it being different elsewhere. It’d be cool to be smart / valuable enough to be a desirable immigrant to a civilized country. Lol
