I don't have any advice or help for you because I'm in a somewhat similar situation as you. I was also a good student (not quite straight A, but close enough) and thought my education would also give me some form of agency over my life. That, of course, turned out to be completely untrue due to various factors outside my control. I also thought moving out of my small town would give me a fresh start and allow me to finally live a normal life... which never really happened either.
All I can say is I'm sorry this is happening to you, comrade. If you need to talk or vent, my DMs are open 
They're running out of diapers and getting scared.
But in all seriousness, that's disgusting and infuriating and I hope you and everyone you know are safe

I've been enjoying this channel so far. It's from a Palestinian perspective and deals with subjects such as colonialism, the genocide in occupied Palestine, racism, and Indigenous issues. Also +1 to Boy Boy.
EDIT: This channel is full of short, hilarious skits mocking western double standards, especially on Palestine.
I am an opportunist. If the pro-Skubs look like they're winning, I too shall be pro-Skub. However, if the anti-Skubs are victorious, then I've always been anti-Skub.
Right now I'm taking a break to see if it'll help, but I highly doubt I'll want to go back after it's over. It feels like something got lifted off my shoulders too. Thanks for sharing, comrade - I'm glad the uncertainty didn't last and it gives me hope that mine won't, either.
Bro, just say you're a certified paedophile and go - no need for the thought experiments
Hope it goes well for you! Sucks that it pays so little, but it definitely sounds more (spiritually/morally?) rewarding than what you were doing before. I'm not great with kids so it's not gonna work out for me
Now, if only I could find some work like that, that actually contributes to a stronger sense of security like that described by Maslow's hierarchy.
Same here. I hope you find it too. Though in this capitalist hellscape, there's a better chance of finding a needle in a haystack
Dipshit had "VOTE RON PAUL" bullshit all over his LinkedIn profile
Why am I not surprised
Soon, 
will rank for the VERY lucrative keywords of tankie, ppb, and beanis. If anyone has some beanis or beanis-related products they wanna sell, now's the time 
It really is uniquely soul-damaging. And you're right - funnily enough, one agency I used to work with encouraged the use of LLMs, and I've been seeing some high-ranking articles that read like ChatGPT wrote them. Thanks the encouragement, hopefully I won't have to stick with it for much longer
Search engine optimisation - basically getting web pages to rank higher on search engines, especially Google
I write SEO drivel for a living. I'm fairly good at it, even if the products I shill for are useless to 90% of the population... and that's the problem. There was a time when I was able to not think too much about it, even if I was a little uncomfortable with the fact that my "job" basically shouldn't exist and contributes to the eshittification of the internet. I was just happy to finally be able to learn a living after being unemployed for so long.
But I can't ignore it anymore. The articles get harder and harder to write, the research is boring and pointless, and search engines aren't exactly helpful either on account of said eshittification, which I'm contributing to. And that's on top of all the extra requirements the clients have.
But the thing that makes it the hardest to keep going is that I can't in good conscience market things to people, however indirectly, unless I am absolutely sure the product will help them or I can personally vouch for the usefulness of the product. Which I obviously can't because I've never tried any of the products I'm writing to shill for. And I think it's deceptive, which doesn't sit right with me.
CW: mental health stuff, Calvinist brainworms
I used to be able to kinda just dissociate and not think about it too much. Just focus on the money, you know? As long as I could earn my own way and not have to rely on others just to get by, be less of a burden to others. Also feel like a proper adult for once. Yeah, I know everyone else is winging it, but when you've never been independent, it's hard not to feel like there's something wrong with you (even though that in itself is a capitalist brainworm and all that).
I also hate that I'm contributing to the selling of more useless shit that nobody actually needs. Like, we're wasting tons of water to power some AI !bazinga are convinced is the next coming of Jesus? !disgost
I think I'm going to quit this line of work. I just can't do it anymore. Apparently, some people can make a butt load of money writing this drivel but I personally have never made all that much. And honestly, I don't even think the money would help at this point. But with my lack of skills and social anxiety, I'm not really sure what other jobs I can do.
It's very obvious that !amerikkka is circling the drain now, but clearly this didn't just happen in a vacuum. It must've started crumbling at some point... but when?
Some people might say it started after 9/11, others might say it goes back to the Raegan administration. A few might even say it started after losing the Vietnam War, or when they went off the gold standard. Or maybe even earlier...
What do you think? !three-heads-thinking
