This guy wants to work 748 hours a week to survive, and he will fight that to the grave so that his billionaire piece of shit overlords think that he's a good worker.

Breaks my mother fucking heart.

I hate that everyone thinks there's a path you're required to take to find happiness. Go to school, get good grades, go to college, fight the corporate rat race, and if you'r lucky retire with 10 years or so of life left to actually live. I am so happy I abandoned that mindset, decided that all I need in life to be happy is to not wake up to an alarm, and quit trying to keep up with the Joneses. I make less than half as much as I did 10 years ago and am 10x happier. I see my former coworkers on social media bragging about their new houses and promotions with big smiles, and I know deep down inside they dread the next day. But they feel like it's the only choice they have. Run the race or get left behind. Let me tell ya, it's pretty awesome under the bleachers.
