I Work With Paint And Every Time I See Someone Come In And I Ask What Quality They Want And They Say

I work with paint and every time I see someone come in and I ask what quality they want and they say “oh it’s just a rental” as a shorthand for “give me the cheapest paint possible” something just like rage boils in me. Then I look down and see they have the nicest most expensive shoes and I get angrier.

I did not have “tumblr book club forms and reads a classic horror novel delivered via email; immediately begins to roast and fall in love with protagonist” on my 2022 bingo card, but I have to say I am enjoying myself immensely

Being in this generation is so difficult because we grew up experiencing how incredible technology is, but are now watching it fall to capitalism. When we were young videogames were incredible, people made incredible games that they shared with us and it was art, it was story, it was the best a developer could put out there. Now it's pay to win, it's pay to unlock content that came on the disk, releasing half finished games, make money and run.

It's the same with social media. It used to be a place to share art and ideas, make friends, connect with people, and now it's all ads, branded content, pay to have your work seen.

Don't get me started on apps gatekeeping phone types for better quality, the making of a new phone every year that you have to get because everything is designed to make your older tech obsolete.

Capitalism has stripped humanity from the awe of what the internet and technology used to be. The rich get richer, companies sell their morals to the highest bidder, and there is nothing we can do but watch our future slip away.

Okay I know I’m on that brainrot train still I love pre-war stucky give, or at least where they were together before everything because the concept of loving someone no matter what through all versions of themself no matter the changes because that’s still the person you love despite all the hardship and at the core that doesn’t change????

On the other hand I just like the rest of the avengers trying to set them up and then going “ma’am we’ve been dating since we were 16”

Welcome back me!!!! Tumblr had finally reinstated my account!!!
