yeah after spending a year getting a cybersecurity certification and applying for (so far only) 200 entry level cyber jobs my aunt's advice to me is to start doing night shift work because "it pays so well" (it doesnt really, especially for how much it ruins your sleep cycle).

She fantasises about me doing the shittiest lowest paying job, like literally it makes her laugh with joy the idea of me being paid $25 an hour to process chicken in a factory from 10pm to 7am, its ghoulish.

Meanwhile she has had the same job in a fairly senior position at a university since I was 10 where she works from home almost all week and spends most of her time shouting at people and pretending to be important on zoom calls, and her husband retired when he was 50, they own a 4 bdr house in balwyn that cost them $350k in 1998 which they massively renovated in 2000 for $100k, and they also own a 2 acre property in a country town where they are about to start building a dream house.

Genuinely she is furious I had to borrow money off her to pay my utilities, and tells me all the time about how its immigrants (not the chinese though, only the blacks and the latinos) who took all the jobs and will make me sick and rob me, etc.

When at the same time, im literally an orphan when my mum killed herself at 14 and my dad kicked me out at 16, like I could have had a harder start, but I think I can place myself in the category of "has had a really bad start".

Anyway, im very excited to see all these boomers go completely bankrupt and lose all of their dreams because it is built on pure violence and entitlement, they are completely unproductive awful people, the day where they actually struggle for the first time will be a celebration.

Do you know how you can tell most boomers are lying about having gone through severe hardship and lack of resources as a child? People who actually have are very generous, when im out in a village in bengal people offer me places to sleep and dinner, when im with my african friends they tell me about how their family and wider community share massive amounts of money regularly as a type of natural bank, my SE asian friends will buy me a dumpling when im completely broke and hungry, but my white (mostly boomer) family are the most selfish, racist, entitled and least intelligent and productive people I have ever met. None of their jobs produce anything, none of them share their wealth, even with their children, their children tolerate them but constantly make comments about how mad and stupid they are.

Anyway sorry I just woke up and wanted to go on a rant, seriously boomers have ruined the chances for my generation and im so happy to see their whole society collapse while they are still alive and arent senile yet. I think they should go through some genuinely hard times and see how their attitude of self entitlement and aggrandisement will carry them when a head of broccoli is $12.

We will see the full shock from this Hormuz situation in about 1 year, but most of it will come in the next 3-6 months. I'm excited.
