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.
