My suffering in the form of construction workers entering my private space every day for weeks is over. Just blissful quiet, at last.

Not being retired already.

The inability to fit in combined with the incapability of finding something that makes me look forward to the next day.

Not white.

Untreated ADHD

Assburger syndrome. Symptoms: assburgers

Being 42 and no kids. I used to be convinced not having kids would make my life easier. Now it's pretty sad and kinda depressing to know it'll be just me and my gf.

>>5322 Other childless Bernd here. Would you really want to put a little Berndlet into this shitty world in hindsight?

>>5324 Unironically: yes. Thing is, we make pretty good money, and it'd be really totally manageable. The Problem is, we're just to old. I don't want to be 60+ with teenaged kids... As long as you're maximixing making your kids self-reliant and go their own way, rather than conform and follow the typical politic and social narratives and movements, they should be fine.

>>5326 I'm not convinced that "pretty good money" (also making that) and self-reliance are enough for what shit might hit in the next 80 years... But also, I don't want to regret it and be as lonely as you in 10 years.

>>5326 My father had me with 42, no problems, if you're not a fat fuck

>>5324 >>5326 Similar issue, but kids are annoying during most of their lifespan, and I dont wanna deal with current times school shit. Imagine sitting in the middle of leftists, arabs and nazis arguing with each other at parent gatherings, or dealing with shit like social media trolling, or your kid sharing CP at school. Fuck no. I regret that porn and games distract me from learning stuff while I still can, or making art. I havent drawn shit I wanted to draw for 18 fucking years and I notice losing my interest.

>>5333 Maybe that KeinBernd's GF is also 42.

>>5335 You can have children as a 42 year old woman alright

>>5336 It's possible but not ideal. Also, maybe she's even a couple of years older than him.

>>5298 READ BOOKS and they will save your life

>>5336 If you want broken children, yes

>>5322 I'm a few years older and never looked back. Kids can drag you down, too. It depends on the kind of life you live I guess. Do you have long-term goals and plans?

No monis, hurting liver, can't do my projects.

>>6996 It’s truly liberating to stop thinking about money, everything you truly need to have a rich life is inside of you

This is the official 7000 GET thread! So exciting.

>>7001 No, I dedicated it to wojak

>>7002 I will haunt your dreams tonight.

>>6999 I'm content but I suffer.

Seems I developed a severe allergy to superglue (cyanoacrylate) after repeatedly using it since 2022. One whiff of the stuff and my nose is clogged up for days and I get cancerlike coughs. In a way I'm glad I finally found out what the culprit is, but now I need to find a viable alternative.

>>7233 Araldite?

>>7234 Yes, probably some 2-part epoxy. Gonna go to Jumbo tomorrow and test out some.

>>5244 Trying to get a Job. CEOs tell everyone bullshit about how there's no Fachkräfte, which means they only hire cheap assholes, if they even hire anyone since: 1. You're told that the mails you send out to employers have to be the most creative and unique shit ever to stick out compared to the competition, but you have to like write a shitton of those, and overthinking that shit only holds you back. 2. Then you write the most creative, most employer-dick-sucking, most narcissistic shit ever to sell yourself to the slavers and with or without AI, it gets filtered out by some other AI that identifies AI (which mean, use ONE wrong fucking word and you're out). 3. You have to deliver the best, most professional non-AI portfolio ever, like you're fucking Michelangelo, for a job where you do nothing but prompt, and everyone doing this acts like a super creative marketing genius for not doing shit. 4. Somehow you're surrounded by assholes at Jobcenter seminars who are ignorant and don't do shit, yet they instantly get callbacks for a single fucking job application, while your 10 applications get ignored. Also, if you get rejected and ask for the reason, you don't get one, which is Germany's retarded as fuck nazi brain mentality of not speaking about flaws. 5. Yet you get treatened like an parasite if you're tired of that shit and have enough of fighting over the next job that fires you because they're getting broke, like everytime. Meanwhile you know some BWL asshole getting a higher wage in his first job than you've ever gotten in 17 years, then he acts all high and mighty for never having to try hard in life, and he constantly fucks up at his job and isnt fired, ever. God damnit. First comment when I invited him over was "This place is smaller than expected." Holy shit Bernd never get "friends" they are a waste of your time.

>>7256 You sound very bitter. It's understandable, but don't lose all hope.

>>7290 I was highly motivated, its like a switch turned after I binged The Walking Dead, woke up and was like "What the fuck am I even doing, I have zero purpose to society."

>>7311 Are you applying for open positions or are you cold-calling companies? Do you know people working in the field you're looking for?

>>7311 I see. Purpose doesn't have to be a lowly wage job, so in that regard you're flexible. Even cleaning litter in the forest gives purpose (but no money).

>>7363 Cleaning litter in the forest gives more purpose than most jobs, tbh. At least more than mine.

neighbours don't remove their washing from the communal washing machine when it finishes

>>7394 Neighbours don't leave their laundry in the common washing machine for longer than necessary.

>>6913 > Kids can drag you down. Yes, but they usually are a source of fullfilment. > Long terms goals and plans Honestly, just the typical monetary shit. Saving up for retirement / investing, making sure my significant other is safe should someone happen to me, house, cars, hobbies, etc. But at the end of it, it's kinda pointless, since everything ends with us, and there's simply no one to inherit any of our stuff. I hate the idea to give it to the government and then have that redistributed to some Klimersörgels or worse -- such as Ärzte and Ingeneure from North Africa and the middle East...

>>7394 Buy your own washing machine... They don't cost much.

>>7398 where would I put it?

One time, someone took my wet laundry out of the dryer to dry their own clothes. So, I put their laundry back in the washing machine in a "rinse only" program and put my laundry in my apartment for fear of further escalation.

>>7400 In a 1x1x1 metre space.

>>7402 With a fresh water and a drainage pipe behind it and space in front of it, ideally in a room with a drain on the floor in case of a malfunction. My apartment doesn't have that.

>>7401 You're one evil motherfucker

>>7403 Don't Europeans put them in the kitchen?

>>7405 Some do, some don’t, but I have it in the kitchen

>>7405 Europe is a quite diverse continent. In Switzerland, communal laundry rooms "washing kitchens" in the basement are common.

>>7407 Sound's rather bolshy to me.

>>7408 I don't understand. My dictionary tells me that bolshy means rude. How can a room be rude?

>>7409 Bolshevik. ie it sounds like communism.

>>7410 Buying a washing machine you use every 2 weeks for 3 hours sounds incredibly wasteful.

>>7411 It's actually quite convenient. I can do it whenever I want and I don't have to travel and I can do other things at the same time.

And I don't have to come in contact with poor people.

>>7412 We don't consider walking down 2 flights of stairs "travelling" and the people who live in the same house as you commonly have a similar level of wealth as you. So you only meet poor people if you're poor yourself, at which point you'd be a hypocrite to complain about that.

>>7416 It's travelling compared to not leaving the house. If you lived in a house with rich people they would have their own maids to wash there cloths let alone washing machines... And also, I can hate poor people even if I am poor myself.

>>7417 >And also, I can hate poor people even if I am poor myself. Seconded, but rich ones are equally dumb assholes. Just hate everybody.

>>7420 Statistically untrue.

>>7417 >It's travelling compared to not leaving the house. Maybe I wasn't clear, but the washing kitchen is inside the house. At most you see your neighbours in the hallway. You just mumble "grüezi" and that's it. >If you lived in a house with rich people they would have their own maids to wash there cloths let alone washing machines... I don't live with people that rich, but also if I did, I'd have my own maid and the whole debate would be moot.

>>7422 SO you mean apartment building not house I think? You will have to leave your apparent to go and wash your cloths. Exactly, you live with poor people that can't afford washing machines or maids.

>>7421 Care to demonstrate? >inb4 IQ test scores >>7420 Most people are retarded thoughtless cattle running on auto mode, but that doesn't mean everyone belonging to a specific wealth group is dumb or smart. I'd say the middle class are the dumbest, actually. Either evil or lucky aloof geniuses do exist among the wealthy, albeit extremely rare; it's more common to find a truly intelligent person among the really poor, even if perhaps grossly undereducated, reason they might appear less intelligent to you. >>5244 Trying to get a job in tech. I'm studying CS in uni and as everyone keeps saying: finding jobs is supposed to be very easy in the last few terms before graduating but if you graduate without relevant experience it's near impossible. But of course, even if I wasn't autistic as fuck, the job market right now is in shambles due to the AI craze. I do have a job but it's total BS and also legally I don't actually have a job. Also doesn't help that I'm pushing on 30.

>>7514 What else would you use other than IQ? Or the fact that people who are smarter will obviously do better in life on average and so make more money.

>>7515 It's people who are more social and who have 'people skills' who do better, not necessarily the smartest ones.

>>7529 There are many traits that can assist people but somebody who is smart and social will do better than somebody who is just social. But also there are many people who achieve a lot while being quite anti-social, because they are focused on their work and ambitions and not on going out and socialising.
