>>3979671Feel like I'm on the same path as you anon. Have a well-paid job, long-term relationship I'm very happy with, still in my twenties so plenty of growth left, but I still just feel empty.
I'm not sure if this is the cause of it but the world is just going to absolute dogshit. Every year we get more and more "smart" shit that invades our homes. We let tech companies run our lives, and every year they get more bold in how deftly they use their influence. We've got kids growing up acting like it's normal to not be allowed to install apps that aren't approved by Apple, or to fork over hundreds of dollars for funny video game dances, or have their entire catalog of family photos sitting unencrypted on some Google Photos server in California, being used to train god knows what next Lovecraftian neural net. And there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I'm forced to watch it happen with my eyes pried open like the fucking Clockwork Orange. In 50 years I feel like I'm gonna be one of those Japanese WWII vets living in modern plastic Japan thinking what in the fuck happened. That's what I have to look forward when I retire. No fucking thanks chief.
