It's horrible.

She had worn me down. There came a time where she began to be really critical of me and that turned into blow ups. She would text me non stop when I was at work, I would dread going home and she would usually let me have it when I got there. I started to withdraw from her and she could never really understand why, it was just about what she needed from me and I was going my best. She was really hateful and mean to me. I had always been told by friends that I was a caring, gentle person but she's made me feel like a monster.
It's a very sad situation, for her as well. I've always felt like I've never been good enough and that's been validated, so I'm just going to be by myself. The lack of support is difficult, however.

here's an idea: if your job doesn't pay you enough, quit and find a different one
convince all your coworkers to quit too, if you really hate it
if you find yourself in a position where it would be prudent to tell your buddies "hey don't come to work tomorrow," rethink your life choices

I do not blame anyone who loses their shit enough to start burning things down
does it solve the problem? no. does protesting solve it? no. voting? no.
there is no right answer or way to fix the mess. it doesn't mean the apocalypse, but the idea that everything is just fine and people are overreacting is wrong. people are reacting as they should be. the empire is in decline.

people just looking for an excuse to be violent thugs because their life has been too good and too easy and they crave being able to feel like they can commit justified vandalism/arson/destruction
the motherfucker recorded himself doing it on his smartphone, which means apparently he had enough money for a smartphone, a device that gives you access to all the world's knowledge and endless distraction at a moment's notice and people would've killed for 100 years ago
we live in the best, most peaceful, most technologically advanced time in all of history, with more entertainments and conveniences than anyone in the past could ever dream of, and assholes like this just want to tear shit down, even odds he didn't even believe in what he said about being paid and just knew it was the right thing to say while setting shit on fire
imagine wasting your life getting found guilty of burning down a toilet paper warehouse instead of anything meaningful
all he had to do was not burn down his place of work, instead he voluntarily chose to ruin his own life

Most of them are pussies.  You are giving them much credit in their power of reasoning beyond shallow platitudes.
Motherfuckers think this is the first time on history that people commit arson by justifying themselves with class and economic struggle.

Those people who are upset about having shit wages, brutal working conditions, long hours, no opportunities, poor housing and crushing bills should just stop living like that and go be rich. What are they stupid? Just be rich. It's really very simple.

I tried checking various reports and the primary source is the guy yelling while filming himself burning a factory with twenty people inside. Also, he wasn’t an employee of Kimberly-Clark who owned the warehouse. But a separate distributer company. So effectively he wasn’t sticking it to his employers. As for the other factory workers salaries, well, seems they’re jobless now. Because of the fire.
tl;dr corpo warfare from big bidet

He does something similar with Rasputin, I'm not saying I disagree with the idea that he's not as bad as Lenin or Stalin, but his reputation did not come from the way he died or his purported affair with the queen. It was that whole thing where the absolute ruler of the country seemed under the sway of a con man mystic with crazy beliefs. During a period where the Russian elite had massive anxiety about the backwards state of their nation compared to European elites.

He's the guy who has the same name as (or is) that teacher I uncovered in his state that got fired for banging in the classroom. Who claims he fled to another state because his "wife couldn't get a job that paid enough" or whatever.
Era responded similarly in the past to his comments, and I'm not saying he's wrong or anything, just that I obviously don't trust his version of events same as any Era member.

Unionization in the US halted well before the "union busting and corruption" aka no longer making it illegal to not join a union. The biggest union fetishists don't work in union-friendly fields in the first place. Same as all these bougies thinking they're proletariat.

Literally criminal narcissism.
Quote:A lot of property and probably more than a few people will burn before it changes. It shouldn't be that way and I wish it wasn't the case, but the people with the money and the power have declared over and over again that they will die before giving up even a tiny fraction of their influence and control.
Another narcissist, who doesn't realize that what he advocates will end with his "class" destruction first. Literally believes that attacking people with property (aka the majority of Americans) in minor amounts will somehow benefit those without (a tiny class that doesn't pay taxes or vote) even as he and everyone else constantly says this isn't harming them because they have insurance. That's how they avoid the cognitive dissonance of the fact that what they want doesn't harm the rich, but everyone else, by claiming that eventually it will only harm the rich and benefit everyone else. Just as they advocate for an elite monopoly that will eventually do this. All as an excuse for explaining why they personally are unhappy with the result of their own choices.

at some point this was going to fold. that time is now and it's showing. This has been literally the delusional cope of narcissists for a century plus now. Things are better than ever, you're just greedy and want more given to you from others and rather than target the people stealing from you because that'd be too hard and you think they're the solution, you target the innocent and those who actually benefit you who are easier to harm. All while advocating for a course of action that if what anything you say is true will end with your destruction, never a victory. All while harming everyone else. You want the apocalypse because you stupidly believe you'll survive to prosper in its wake. Sociopathic ignorance.

Is this guy saying Unreal Tournament 3 or maybe Fortnite should be at top of the list? Because those were the games whose engines everybody else started using, not the first game or even UT. The first really licensed version of UE was UE2, which didn't have a "game" for it, like UE3 the engine was available well before the first Epic game that used it released. UE4 and 5 were basically the same, Fortnite wasn't out yet when UE4 was available and there's no "game" for 5, they just ported Fortnite.
