    More like I can’t really move because the only places I can even work are just like the place I am, or worse, and there’s only like 5 cities with jobs in my field anyway, unless I wanted to sell my soul working for a defense contractor contributing to killing innocent civilians and children. I wish I had a job with more mobility. I’m still just a cog in a giant machine that doesn’t give a fuck about me, the same as everyone else.

    Also I’m not a mechanical engineer so I couldn’t tell you which fastener to use, so on both counts you’d lose that bet.

      You’re not getting it. You’re still unwilling to give up that core identity that you’re some special wizard with arcane knowledge that you’re forced to use.

      It’s making you miserable, and us bored of hearing about it.

          My my, such emotion! Bet that’s the first authentic reaction you’ve had in years.

          Keep suffering under your “only I know the right thickness of gold to use on ARINC 600 connector pins” mindset.

          I used to be like you, oh so smart and important with my esoteric mystical knowledge! How else can I possibly function?

          You are not your job. It’s just what you do. You think it’s some important core identity component of who you are. It’s not.

            Even as an observer just reading this thread, I feel compelled to tell you: You’re a piece of shit

            You’re belittling someone for no reason other than to make them feel bad, in an effort to make yourself feel superior

            They’re just saying, initially, they have a good job, and even with a good job, it’s difficult to afford living expenses.

            You’re just being a cunt lol idk why you dislike yourself so much, but projecting that out will just amplify the feeling. Making someone feel like shit, doesn’t actually make you look good mate.
