14 Warning Signs That You Are Living in a Society Without a Counterculture
https://www.honest-broker.com/p/14-warning-signs-that-you-are-living

This is a deep matter, and I won’t try to unlock all the nuances here. I will now simply share 14 tweets that capture the stale taste of life without a counterculture.

I'm proud, I guess, to be a contributor to whatever counterculture still exists. At the same time, I'd really like to be paid for my work. Being broke all the time sucks.

If I had money, this is what I'd do:

1. Buy a Steam Deck, which I've wanted for years
2. Take a three-day vacation at the end of the semester
3. Commission an artist to work with me on a comic project
4. Start a small press maybe

That's not even a lot of money, just $3000. But even $3k is a lot when you don't get paid for anything. I'm not delusional enough to think that I ever had the potential to become the next big thing, but I wish there were more opportunities. Even working for free is super competitive, and I hate it.

Eh, fuck it. Money isn't real. I bought a Steam Deck.

If Our Lord and Savior Jesus the Risen Christ did not want me to play video games and be happy, he wouldn't have invented credit cards. Quod erat demonstrandum.
