Success I was talking about (also in the video) is not about floating above poverty. It's about breaking in higher middle class tier. I believe chasing this tier of income starting from poverty will do a number on you. In the process of getting to higher income you'll exchange your health, family and empathy for opportunity to earn progressively higher income

For the context, I grew up in a hood, had quite limited social safety net, worked about a dozen jobs paying fraction of minimum wage before turning 18. I felt miserable most of the time -- in hindsight I realize I was often simply hungry & cold but at the time it felt like world simply hates me.

I moved to local capital and had experience in success chasing game. I earned several times the average country average while working clean & prestigious office jobs. Yet despite the money, success chasing brought me to the lowest low of mental health until I couldn't go on. Therapy, medicine and vacation just weren't extreme enough to help me recover in some reasonable time frame. Experience of my peers shows similar story: while playing the success chasing game, everyone eventually breaks, get traumatized, get cynical or simply isolate away

I find it weird that success is conflated with (large) income. Authentic personal success is at best tangential to income and at worst contradictory to it

Do you want healthy living? Income will run you into your grave

Want a close joyful family? Income will keep you away from them

Wanna be a better version of yourself? Income will train you to be exploitative tyrant

Success is a trap

The meme format omits any relevant detail and simply flattens the argument into us vs them mentality

Steam frame AstroTurf ad 😅

Caveat: Right now keepass doesn't really like working with multiple vaults. We also need keepass app to realize that totp is in another castle vault.

😂

Why not tie a plastic bag on it though

Bros, the stupidity of headline is intentional. Don't spread around their talking points just to mock it.

They produce those mockable headlines specifically so you'd boost the reach. Don't feed the trolls

Antidepressants

Seriously, when you're depressed to the point of self unaliving ideation it's inconceivable to be optimistic. But when you're not depressed it's hard even to imagine the level of misery depressed person is going through. All of this to say, hopelessness and despair isn't normal -- even in modern times.

A lot of people I know is on antidepressants or used to be at some point. Talk to random acquaintances about potential psychiatrist visit and some of them could actually get you some leftover drugs for free. Sometimes taking just one week course is enough to feel that it's working.

Is there a common way to visually assure that it's not generated? I'm out of loop

In relation to this game I don't really know anything about their dev process so I don't try to claim anything besides devs own words

Game is decade+ old, original dev studio is claimed to be dead, franchise is taken over by capital, last patch is decade old. Some fairly good news is nice anyway

I just noticed that noone at Lemmy brought up the news, so here it is
