There was hope then at least - eating ramen and working three jobs because the degree and the work was supposed to make things better. But then hitting your thirties and realizing that the mistake you made wasn’t being born wealthy.
It gets worse when you get a kid, cant sleep at night, and a house mortgage for life. Just figured I would cheer you up. :p
It’s chill, we’re all gonna die of cancer from all the microplastics in our brains anyway. Or in Civil War II or something. Whatever.
I didn’t even get that fun shit. I became disabled and bedridden at 20.
Well at least you get to retire eventually.
Lol. JK. You’re going to be a wage slave until you die, probably during the climate change induced famine.
I can’t even eat the ramen any more. I found out I have celiac.
Also, more ramen in your thirties.
At least in my 40s I can afford to add an egg.
Look at Mr. Moneybags over here with his egg.
Dude in my 40,s can’t afford the egg. It getting rough out here.
A climate crisis! Global famine coming soon!
It’ll be like the Mad Max series with fewer cars and more cannibalism. (You think I’m kidding?)
The reward waiting for you at the end is crippling debt.
Only if you get student loans. Just don’t go to college! It’s not like the world needs doctors, scientists, engineers, dentists, teachers, meteorologists, judges, librarians, well-educated citizens in general… Oh wait.
Climate change waits for no one.
That’s why I spent my 20s doing drugs and banging everything that glanced in my general direction.
I am also no longer allowed at the zoo
I never was. As a precaution.
Or the art museum?
My man
Don’t forget the oligarchy!
*broligarchy
All that ramen is probably imported from Asia, so pound for pound quite an environmental travesty.
Actually a lot of it is made in the US. Shin Ramen, for example, is from Korea, but all the packages I’ve seen are made in a factory in California.
You’re right - the climate is a-changin’!
The same logistics and industrial development that allows you the luxury of studying to increase the value of your work output, the luxury of ennui that gives you philosophical dread on your idle hours while others would kill to be on your not-working-in-cobalt-mines shoes while being fed and safe enough to sleep, all this while having thrived up to an age that for most of human history has basically senility, is the one that gives you the climate change
You know what you need to do.
allows you the luxury of studying to increase the value of your work output
I’ve always wanted more value from my work output! Or contentment and self-actualization, it was one or the other.
luxury of ennui that gives you philosophical dread on your idle hours
I’m assuming you mean that those idle hours are the luxury? Because I’m pretty sure tedium and boredom existed in the fields and cobalt mines long before it got a fancy French name.
others would kill to be on your not-working-in-cobalt-mines shoes while being fed and safe
Relative privation?
Also, is eating ramen being fed? Is it safety if you’re one illness and insurance fuckup, or a job loss and six(?) months, away from homelessness?
this while having thrived up to an age that for most of human history has basically senility
Extreme infant and childhood mortality explains most of the short historical lifespans. 30 was never senility.
The same logistics and industrial development… is the one that gives you the climate change.
Every step of towards lessening greenhouse gases brings us closer to the fall of western civilization! Fly more, abolish public transportation, eat only beef, set your AC so low you have to wear a sweater!
no need to wait
Hold up, am I crazy or is this showing that the temperature at the North pole was 15 °C in January? What’s the source of the picture? What were usual readings in previous years?
I think it means 15C warmer than before the industrial revolution
It looks like it’s relative to the 2004-2013 average, actually. Note the years listed at the bottom.
I think it’s showing it’s 15 degrees warmer than normal, if I read it right.
