    Honestly, it's not that hard to make a truckload of money if you start off with a busload of money (in this analogy, the truck's bigger). Capitalism is pretty much built to ensure that the rich will either stay rich or get richer unless they're completely irresponsible with said riches.

    And paying attention to trends isn't a stroke of genius, either. As for marketing, the 'fresh rebel tech magnate' turned out to be just a shitposter without the proper context in which to "shine," nothing more.

    C'mon! Let's get this shizz started, I've been workin' out my smoke grenade kickin' leg!

    Late edit, because I got triggered, apparently: I swear this would be the dream. Like, just to see something else, at this point friggin' anything, other than what we've been seeing pretty much since humans first decided they wanted to have more than the other guy. I'm so fucking tired of seeing people stepping over other people's throats just to get an inch higher up the ladder, a ladder which is purpose-built to serve the exact opposite effect by those who already own the grand majority of us.

    It's not even for us at this point, speaking of those of us who are alive on this planet. I, for one, can feel that fucking ideological corruption still clinging to my moral fibre like a rancid mold no matter how much I try to scrub myself of it. God damn it, I wanted to have kids at one point, but I sure as shit won't bring'em into this mess!

    To be fair, the response would be sustained las/bolter/plasma/melta/whatever fire and the occasional Exterminatus in 96.7% of attempts to communicate with the Mon-keigh.

    As the other commenters have already said, I, too, recommend seeing a therapist about this. But I want to offer an alternative perspective, from personal experience.

    A lot of what you've said is very similar to something I went through and partially am still currently going through. I used to feel a deep sense of not belonging, of being a misfit, which saturated me so much so that at one point I fell into a deep, self-loathing depression.

    Just like you've stated, it wasn't necessarily a static thing, like depression frequently seems to be, it felt active, like a response to a real 'something,' but my comorbid childhood trauma made me believe I was the problem.

    I started going to therapy when enough became enough, and therapy helped me understand that, yes, I am a misfit, but a misfit in the context of this society and its state. My values do not match what society deems important. My beliefs don't match the common dogma. I don't have ambitions in the traditional sense, because my ambitions are centered around concepts like fairness and justice, around comprehension, not status and/or possessions.

    Therapy didn't help me get over these because there was nothing, really, to get over. But it did help immensely in the sense that I felt understood for the first time in a long time. it encouraged me to redirect my frustrations toward trying to be the change I want to see. I got into politics for the first time, I started actually reading the people and theories which matched my values to understand as much as I can of them. Basically, it helped me accept myself as a misfit for everyone but myself. And slowly but surely, that also started filtering people with whom I actually had common subjects. And it turned that general dejection at seeing the world as it is into a motivating anger.

    It also heped me understand that all of this was causing me immense emotional discomfort precisely because I, too, love life and everything living. How could one not suffer when seeing that which one loves is suffering?

    Maybe this is not the case for you, I dunno. Not offering this up as a solution, just as a different example. Still highly recommend therapy, talking to someone who's open to listening and understanding always helps.

    Hi! Weird request, mildly related, but does any of you fine people have any suggestions for interesting and Lefty-friendly jobs? After a decade of undoing the universe's work by completely annihilating my soul in IT, I want out. I'm not looking for alternative jobs in IT, I want out-out. Like, I don't wanna be usin' a computer for more than making Spreadsheets, and phones for more than chatting and ignoring emails. Edit here: would also use for graphical design and related, but I'd have to start from scratch. Basic Paint.net usage is my high-score. In terms of pay, that will be a secondary concern, my priority is establishing a list of potentials in order to have a nice foothold from which to start figuring it out. If it's of any help, my "Major's" QA, mostly Manual and some Automation (Cypress with JS). I've also officially done some Project Management, Process Auditing and Optimisation, Data Science, and Community Management (-ish on the last one, training programs/materials and project organiser for a community of freelance testers). Got a Bachelor's in Theatre Acting, two years as a bass player in two bands, some IT/maths/phys background from high-school (Eastern European curriculum, so they really let us have it...) and I enjoy analysing and solving problems. Heavily into literature, music and visual arts, I can learn absolutely anything and I do not shy away from physical labour - kinda' miss it, actually. I'm super-serious about this, I can't stand the domain anymore and I feel I'll lose my mind if I have to keep doing this. Thank you very much even if you've only read through this!

    Turns out I wiped most of my stash when my old phone got stuck in a Fastboot loop. Plot twist, it's still stuck in a Fastboot loop. But plenty remain for a mildly obscure career in posting ancient goodness.

    So begins the reddit stash dump.
