There doesn't seem to be anything new and exciting going on these days.
No fads taking everyone by storm. No new technology everyone is discussing (AI is pretty meh at the moment, especially with the censorship). No new entertainment everyone has to see.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't feel I am. Anyone else kinda feel this way?
There are a HUGE number of elderly people who need help, which is largely being provided right now by immigrants.
And how exactly is that meant to help with anything? I already have plenty of old people I interact with regularly, what I have no knowledge of is what the youth experience is like or how to achieve it. Currently my life has just been drifting along as the years pass while I remain jealous of my parent's and grandparent's social lives.
Why do you need that? You aren't a youth. Try learning to be an adult instead.
And what? live life without ever having experienced key developmental milestones and I should live a meaningless life of a slave? I don't want to live just to work, I want to have a life outside of endless labor.
Dude, "key developmental milestones" are not actually key to anything. In fact, if you've missed basically ALL of them, as I have, you'll actually have the chance to develop a unique personality which can be very attractive, but you'll need to get over pitying yourself first.
