@histoire I'd love to live alone. That's not exactly what a random room is though. Too expensive to live alone so you gotta find people to pay rent with.

oh fuk guys i might be moving into a single room somewhere. i think my roommates wanna move somewhere too far away from me ;_;

@anemone @pasture never forget the 6 million lives it took to make Concord

@Remi yeah my buddy was telling me about this shit back then and I was like.. Yeah sounds about right. Hadn't heard any of it before but I'm not surprised at all.

@milk only if I inherit Charlie Sheen as my spirit animal

@Shadowman311 the creep part isn't that they are college freshman, it's that he's hitting up a bunch of them using an official account lmao

If this dude rode in to a music festival on a motorcycle and copped a few baddies it would be a total non issue

@yockeypuck the only problem is that if you do that it makes you gay too

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @ChristiJunior @coolboymew I think I got my PS3 for like $300 in 2009. By then it was totally worth it. Before then I was still on ps2 and Wii. Played that thing until it melted because last of us gave it a run for its money.

There was a game I really wanted to play on PC, Blacklight retribution, but I had a shit pc that could barely play left 4 dead at minimum settings so it wouldn't even launch the game. Funny enough, that game is why I bought a ps4 at launch lol. Once I really got into pc gaming around 2016 though I didn't really touch it much after that.

Here's a small anecdotal window into why everyone my age is "lazy":
Rent is ~$1600 split between three roommates. If one of us flakes or leaves, the other two sink- and yes, it's the cheapest place in town which isn't dangerous. I've looked everywhere else.
I work two jobs because no employer can afford to give workers benefits for working full time. I've had to hop jobs regularly this past year because they repeatedly cut hours or else asked me to come in on short notice which conflicted with my other job and school time. Everyone wants on-call employees but can't or won't pay for it.​ Also keep in mind all these jobs were found via contacts and networking; I wouldn't even *have* income if I were to try applying online as I would have been filtered by HR bots.
I'm currently in debt for school (STEM) which is the biggest expense I have, but it's my only real shot out of the crab bucket so I persist. I've fought hard to keep a 4.0 GPA which I use to fuel my form of gambling- scholarships- which I write on company time.
I ride share or walk everywhere because I couldn't afford a car, and now I finally have one I can't afford to repair it, so I'm scraping what little earnings I take home to afford that, which means forgoing beef and niceties like most hobbies. Any unexpected costs like a medical emergency would immediately force me to drop out and move back in with family and many don't have that kind of safety net.
"Success/Failure to launch" is now completely up to luck. For those that see it realize it's not worth the effort, choose to never even try, and just NEET off the government and their parents.
