At the moment, everything.

This time last year, I was meant to be buying my own apartment and finally moving out from my parents' home. Then I got laid off, spent seven months struggling to find work and then landed a temporary purchase ledger job which I fucking hate. Partially because the commute takes me about 2 hours each way, partially because I work an 8-5 shift and have to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning on office days, and partially because we use Oracle Fusion which is the biggest crock of shit I've ever used.

Unfortunately that means I have to live with my elderly mollycoddling parents for even longer. Renting somewhere is out of the question because Bristol is the second-most expensive British city to live in, and I basically can't get a mortgage without a full time job.

Sometimes I question why the fuck I chose to go towards accounting. I have a History degree, I'm fully AAT qualified and I'm halfway through my ACCA and I'm earning £13.50 a fucking hour, or just £1.29 above minimum wage on a zero-hours contract. I can genuinely earn nearly as much from stacking shelves, flipping burgers or pouring pints, not that there's really many hospitality or retail jobs available. Office days genuinely take 13 hours out of my day. 8 of these are working, 4 of these are the commute and 1 is the lunch break I get.

My future is uncertain and I feel like there's no point in bothering. Best-case scenario, AI is truly a bubble that's going to burst, crash the stock market and leave us in a recession. At worst, it takes all our jobs and the rich leave us to starve.

Despite a brief relationship with a woman who finally popped my cherry (we're still really close friends and I'm grateful she took my virginity), my love life is practically nonexistent. Online dating is an absolute void where I only seem to match with GPS-spoofing South-East Asian and African women either pulling love scams or trying to find a Western spouse and the means to a green card. Two ladies messed around with my feelings and led me on big time this year. One practically threw herself at me one evening (TLDR, she got very flirty, she kissed me with tongue, among other things) then put me straight in the friend zone as soon as I got home. Another had more-or-less been using her ME/CFS as an excuse to not date me, not meet up with me and keep me at arms length, yet had been seeing other people behind my back. And she had the gall to virtually cry on my shoulder because some guy who said he'd "wait for her" had enough and ghosted her.

I have a lipoma on my neck which is going to cost me a lot to remove, and good luck actually finding the time to get the consultation and surgery/liposuction booked. The NHS won't do it because it's not cancerous, even though this thing has grown to the point where it's 5.5cm in diameter and sticks out like a sore thumb.

I hate that people dont just hit "fuck it" and go full French revolution on billionaires when they see them.

[-] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 55 minutes ago

The French revolution was against the Aristocracy, not the Bourgeoisie. The masses know their king and lords but which Capitalist do they know besides Bill Gates and Elon Musk?

[-] gwl 5 points 3 hours ago

Tbh, I don't think I have ever seen one in-person

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 48 minutes ago

Surely someone has a list?

[-] gwl 2 points 3 hours ago

If I listed the things I hate, we'd be here all day

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

I'm not poor, but I hate that I don't feel financially secure enough to do more whatever I want. Working alone isn't enough anymore to save a house but at the same time to have fun.

[-] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, the house prices has gone up so much it's crazy. And rent, I can't believe how different it was 5 years ago. I wish I could have free time to do things while not having to worry about so much

Chards. When people replace spinach by card.

The people who think they can just cure mental illness like depression by saying things like "have you tried not being sad?" or "have you tried smiling more?" instead of actually being sympathetic and understanding.

I don't have any mental illness that would attract those people, but I still find they have very punchable faces.

Also, since I am out of practice since I haven't played for over a decade, I am currently absolutely hating Ulala from Space Channel 5 because of Sega Superstars Tennis, xbox360. Specifically because of the vs mode on normal difficulty and her getting her useless ability way too quickly and my ability being useless because the game decides my shots deserve to go directly to the other player with zero chance of going where I want it to.

AT&T. We recently had an issue where our internet stopped working properly. My mom had to call them four times before they actually fixed our internet. The first time, she was put on hold for about 40 minutes before either the call ended itself or they hung up. The second time, she actually got through to someone but they didn't fix our internet and instead told us that our current internet package would soon be phased out and then spent about half an hour basically forcing her to getting something called "AT&T Air".

The third time she called, my mom told them that she didn't want AT&T Air and that if she can't use the package we have now, then we'll be switching ISPs. The woman on the phone said that she'll cancel the new package and put her on hold for about half an hour but she never did actually cancel the package or fix our internet, and she also never returned so my mom just hung up on her. The fourth time she called, the guy on the phone ran a diagnosis on our internet and finally fixed it within a few minutes. We have no idea why it took so long for them to do this but we're glad to finally have working internet.

But even though we do now have working internet, we are still thinking about switching ISPs. Even though they did send the equipment to use AT&T Air, we are not going to use it and we are going to send it back and try to get them to actually cancel the package. We aren't sure exactly when we are going to switch ISPs but my mom stated she wants to wait until after the holidays to do so, which probably means no sooner than January.

Gambling loops put into most mobile games, especially when targeting children.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 18 hours ago

Any kind of gambling, any kind of magic thinking

State Farm. They spend ungodly money on NFL players and nonstop obnoxious TV ads, yet deny claims every hour of every day.

[-] nett_hier@feddit.org 2 points 17 hours ago

I know but he feels like his best isn't good enough 😔

[-] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

It'll improve with time sunny give up. If on average you are better then you're past self, you're doing better than a lot of people

[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 5 points 19 hours ago

in order to reach a healthy weight, i activley am having to suffer. I have to teach my body to eat the right amount of food. it sucks man

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

That reality is so incredibly fucked up on a fundamental, physical level.

You're telling me that if I do nothing, my room will get messy, my house will decay, my machines will break down. But somehow matter magically organizes itself into life?

Fuck all the way off.

I hate that most people's ideas of success is to earn lots of money and buy expensive things, rather than help the community.

The people with high "personal" ambition that ruin this world for the rest of us. I am sure at least one of them was sitting at the table on that first thanksgiving thinking about how to exploit the Native Americans.

[-] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Every single person now thinks they're smarter than everyone else. No matter what their political leanings are, they're all smarter than everyone else. Smarter than:

  • Doctors
  • Scientists
  • Engineers
  • Economists

It's absolutely ridiculous and it started sometime around the 90s around when Ross Perot first ran for president and it just got worse with social media.

That's the real problem right now. Everyone thinks they know more than people who spent decades studying and becoming experts in their field.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

To be fair, there are a lot of bullshit economists and Doctors.

Exceptionalism.

The kind that says “I’m special, but you aren’t”

The kind that lets billionaires exist and fuck with national politics and laws. The kind that lets rich people or corporations off of crimes with little or no punishment. The kind that lets a religious person use their religion to be shitty in any way, as a shield or a cudgel. The kind that lets someone festoon their pickup with LED lights and a squat so you’re blinded at night when they’re coming at you or tailgating you.

All of them think they’re special and the rules don’t apply, they don’t care how it affects those around them - or others are to be exploited.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Turkey is fucking DRY and flavorless.

[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

Only if it's not cooked properly. Anyone that feels this way has an open invitation to enjoy brined, compound butter seasoned, spatchcocked goodness at my place. Treat a turkey with love, and it's delicious!

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

You've been eating incorrectly cooked turkey.
