>F. Commune with the grid:>Look, we have all felt at one point that we're not good enough. Our parents say we have to do better than the other kids because we're special, so we have to work harder to fit their standard or we are failures, and making other kids into failures is making our parents proud.>We have trouble finding a nice partner, it might be because we don't fit the criteria of the people we seek out, and it's also likely that the people we overlooked in our search for the one were similarly judged by us. But we have to get a partner, if we can't get a partner before we hit our 30s, we're trash, a cake that's gone stale. But we can't go for just anyone, and we can't be just anyone, so we all have to do insane regimens so our bodies will look good naked.>Our livelihoods will always be dead-end, low-wage Sisyphean torments, which we'll only be doing for a short-while, we're just temporarily embarrassed millionaires who have to flip burgers this one time and then we'll go places.>We are never going to improve like this.>Our students will only pursue scholarship so they don't fall behind a mandated standard, not to better their lives with knowledge that suits their passions. And we all won't get to go to university for further improvement because only a lucky few get picked for scholarships and a bigger portion get student loans and a biggerer portion settle for community college and the rest have to make do with the military and whatever else that Nepotism can scrounge up for them.>Our courtships will be shallow affairs, but there is a chance they will go in the deep end, where half the people are clinging onto anyone they can get for validation, and the other half will feel constricted by this ball and chain weighing them down. Glub glub.>And our jobs- man, I do love burgers. Society needs the people who flip burgers, it's okay to be that, the profession is more essential than the investment bankers and these, artifact fetishists, and we shouldn't be treated worse because we found a way to contribute to society that actually interacts with actual society. >I will admit, there is one big improvement we can make, and that is to find treasure in what we have. Doing just okay on the spelling test but finding spelling fun, preferring solitude because what you can do on your own is more fun than hooking up, and having a job where you can see a customer smile that also pays you a decent wage with benefits, those are all things that are achievable right now without the deceit of self-improvement, the only thing keeping us from them is this fucking bird and his magic doodads that can be hacked into by, his own words, "An idiot child."Izumi Mahogany, Working Class Ally Also Princess
