Why is everyone vehemently against easier lives?
Conveniences, automation, safety plans, etc. Everyone loves winging it and having piles of chores, but then they complain about life being hard, but then they don't change anything
You're viewing a single thread.
I opened the thread thinking, "this has to be a bait post where the op just soapboxes about how much better at life they are than everyone else, and argues with literally everyone offering perspective" and I'm glad to see I was not wrong! Boy if your replies aren't some of the least self aware, most elitist stuff I've seen here so far.
I dunno man, why doesn't everyone with actual problems just ahh, buy an Android phone, learn how to program or do whatever the hell else you think everyone should be doing to just simply live the obviously better life that you have?
Oh wait, not everyone has the same opportunities as everyone else, and so not only may these options be unavailable to a lot of people, they may also be completely useless in solving someone's difficult life.
You sound like a Tech Bro in their early twenties who landed a sweet job out of college (that they didn't pay for) and wonders why people choose to be homeless. And before you try to correct me, that's what you sound like, so unless that's the persona you wanna give off, maybe try to listen to what people are saying instead of trying to find out how they're wrong.
Do you really think people with "difficult lives" are so stressed out because they forgot to take the garbage out multiple times? Seriously? Christ 😂
Good its not just me.
Thank god my smart phone can spell sanctimonious for me, its made my life so much easier.
Oooh, what a beautiful word! It'd fallen out of my vocab. Thanks for that.

bruh what. I'm just traumatized, not elitist.

That's ONE solution out of countless. I'm saying anyone can make a solution that works for themselves whether it's tech based or not.

Everyone has the opportunity to improve their lives. If you're working and making money then you can make your life exactly the way you want it to be. It takes time and effort, yeah, but it's not impossible.

Nah I'm a 27 year old who was locked away for 20 years, and I've only got to live and experience life for 3 years. I landed a sweet job at ✨ Amazon ✨ I do love technology (well, technology that isn't stupid) and I think "homeless" should mean primarily renting an apartment. Having zero shelter shouldn't have a word, it shouldn't be a thing.

That was quite literally my family. Or, is. Is my family. Yet they refuse to just... Take out the trash earlier so they don't need to remember right before they sleep like the countless months of consecutive weeks of forgetting. They complain about having no time for anything but refuse to order online instead of going to two Targets, two Costcos, Bj's, Walmart, Stop & Shop, Walgreens, Aldi, Lidl, and five international stores in the same day for fifteen hours, back to back Saturday and Sunday, and having to wait until Monday night to sleep. You know, to buy the same things you could buy from Amazon or from those stores as a delivery order. There are other things they can do that they just don't do, and blame me, the person wanting things to be easier, for ALL of the problems caused by them not wanting to change because God didn't make lazy people. God STILL didn't drop a tree on me or kill me with lightning like I demand every day. Stop trying to impress a concept.
Do you realize that every bit of your comment just validated everything the other person said?
Bro I'm fucking insane
You really are lmao...
Yeah, being spit on and manhandled by adults as a 7 year old kid every other day in "school" does that to you. You're broke? But your shirt has a man on a horse! You're rich and spoiled. How could you have ran out of soap months ago when you're wearing a polo ralphy whatever shirt? Maybe get less Airopostale and buy soap, so easy!
Yeah, thing is, my mother would spend a couple of grands on stupid ugly brand clothes, while screaming at me to shut up about body wash and juice. It's "why do you come to school smelling horrendous" AND "why do you think you deserve body wash when there are people who have nothing?"
Today I wear ZERO brands and I finally get to shower with soap, drink juice, and brush my teeth with toothpaste. Childhood is the worst part of life.

You HAVE to realize that there are people who can't even afford the groceries in the first place?! Not everyone is your mom wasting money on stuff they can't afford! Some people don't have it in the first place!
After this I'm convinced you've never seen a single actual difficult day in your life, sorry. To say that you're "traumatized" by having too much food in the fridge and spending too much money on buying stuff is fucking hilarious, though.
I know that obviously. Those people aren't doing that crazy shit. But they can make life easier with planned meals and an easy routine, why deliberately make your life harder?
And this just reminds me of how that fucking removed took so much food from food banks and never used it ffs. Every Monday a church had an open pantry, that removed forced everyone to go stand in line separately to get extra. I hated standing in lines so I'd spend every Monday at a library until 7pm and take the long way home for 2 hours. I never actually saw the pantry or what came from it, just the line.
I was abused and neglected as a kid. I had brand name clothes, but smelled bad and only ever ate top ramen and cup noodles. All of that wasted produce was that woman's. DRINKS were never available. No juice, tea, etc. If I was thirsty I would pretend to shower or wash my hands and drink the bathroom water.
I was institutionalized for a disorder I never had. That woman lied to get me in the institution, and they made me stagnate and regress. I've only lived 3 years of my 27 year life. No one believed I was neglected because mommy is rich and I have clothes with old men's names on them. They'd assume the 8 year old kid is at fault for having no lunch, no signed permission slips, bad BO, filthy hair, etc. Like I chose to be that way. How can I be suffering when my shirt says Abercrombie? Neglect from rich parents is horrendous.
I couldn't buy my own body wash until I started doing paid surveys at 15 years old (lied my age on PayPal and the site) and dog sitting at 17 on wag & rover. Before that, I used to steal the trial sizes and stretch them as long as I could.
So I'm fighting CPTSD and trying to cut ties and move out. Praise Amazon.
