The Dark Age of 202X and beyond

We own nothing!

Hello, RealWorld community! I'd like to announce the current era we live in. We once lived in a world where we owned anything we liked, and it's all ours. We loved to use YouTube to watch and play with our favorite creators. It was all cool and fun. I was born in 2003, and this was the time when I enjoyed my life.

Unfortunately, as time went on, the quality of services and ordeal has gone down substantially. Years went on and when we reached the pandemic, where we were in lockdown, we had to rely on what we had until the pandemic ended. Once it ended in 2022ish, the world has become dark up to now, and we had shrinkflation and decrease in quality of services. I’ll explain them as I go:

All our food products and toiletries are shrinking in size and quality, while staying at the same price as the original product or preceding quality. This is shrinkflation and companies are doing this to all the things we get in supermarkets, car shops, and fucking restaurants! Especially where we get paid less in jobs, it’s hard to live with the prices of our necessities.
Speaking of which, prices of streaming services like Disney Plus and Netflix are increasing every month and gas prices are skyrocketing (haven’t used Upside, tell me what you think!). Why they do this, I guess it has to do with the hyperinflation going around the world. Again, with the low pay rate for most jobs, it can be very difficult to live in a simple apartment.
We own nothing! And I’m a pirate for this reason. I pirate anything I can get my hands on, and in a safe manner. USE A VPN and bind it to your torrenting programs and download websites, especially with region-locked content! YouTube has been cracking down on adblockers and is forcing users to sign in to confirm you are not a bot; either Google is stopping AI scrapers or the downloaders, since the help page says it will stop people from downloading content for offline use. I really don’t want to do any hate speech, but in my head, I say fuck YouTube. DRM is implemented and we pirates have to use tons of tools to download the content and decrypt the DRM to make it into a readable format.
Windows 11 is my hatred enemy. It is heavy into AI, has ads, full-screen reminders that won't go away, very beefy specs, can't install on most machines to this day and has unstable updates to non-Insider users that could potentially brick your computer until you reinstall Windows. And unfortunately, Windows 10 is on its way to the end of life in October 2025. Consider using 0patch if you plan to stick with Windows 10 (and Windows in general). I'm generally not a Linux user since my Steam library is on Windows and Wine doesn't work half of the time. But I do praise Linux for being privacy friendly.
Companies want to paywall everything (even a mouse)! Check out any post on r/AssholeDesign on Reddit and you’ll see why. Also check out Lois Rossmann’s videos on YouTube!
GOOGLE (and other companies) WANTS YOUR DATA! I personally don’t mind them using my data to personalize my content, but when they use it to train AI, that’s a problem. I don’t know how to stop them from training AI from me, so let me know how I can do that!

I hope you know what I mean and that I hate the state of the world we are living in. Have a great day!
This was written by hand and AI is not used since I hate it so much!

@Animelove_1105 You forget about Windows 10 LTSC

Welcome to the 21st century. Nibbler is right because everything is very expensive these days. Here in Brazil, inflation is 7 pesos. That means, raised to the seventh power, as you may have seen on TV. It won't be long before Brazil reaches level 22 like Venezuela. Here they want to be similar to North Korea. I can't stand the corruption in Brazil anymore. Unfortunately, it's a worldwide disgrace. Despite everything I said, I like Brazil. It's nice, but I'd like to see other countries. Regarding YouTube, you can expect anything these days and be vigilant. In the past, everything was much better there. Regarding what you need, it might be software; if you already have an old software that isn't working properly, it might work on your current Windows; just right-click on it, access the pop-up menu Properties and choose the Compatibility function in the tab above; in this tab you can choose the previous version of Windows in which the old application worked. Click Apply and run the old software and it might work. Many people forget that modern Windows has this feature in case they need to run older software. Good luck!

donald trump bruh

I thought Donald Trump's return would be better, but I don't understand why he decided to act like a child throwing a tantrum? The business world is serious business. What happened was to be expected! There's no point in saying that Joe Biden didn't act correctly and now starting to compare himself. 😞

It's easy to feel hopeless in a declining world where you as an individual have little to no power, especially if the evils directly (and heavily) impact your chance at sustaining a life at all, let alone living a life you want to live. Everything has certainly declined in quality and changed in favor of the greed of a few hundred. However, looking at and stating only the amount of wrong there is in the world isn't the only thing to defeating evil. Be optimistic! Consider what you can do both by yourself and with others to make the change you want to see.

That sounds incredibly cliche, I'm aware, but it's true! The more attempts you make at bettering the world you (and others!) live in, the better the world becomes, even if your impact is only one over eight billion people. I know it seems hopeless now—the only chance at truly curing the world of its capitalist disease is close to non-existent—but gather your friends, an online community, any group of people, and protest one way or another. Bother those that oppress you and everyone else, even if only minimally. Even if you can't gather a group to fight, your impact is just as meaningful!

Has anyone thought of how difficult it is to get a job? I had numerous attempts via 6 job coaches in the span of 4 years. I did have some short-lived jobs here and there, but not a good job to sustain life lately. I'm currently living with my grandmother, who she works on a fixed income. I have no income at all, since I'm unemployed, and I try to help her out. No one wants to donate to me, even if I mention it on Discord.

Besides that, the point is that I have so much trouble getting a job; business after business turns me down, either by ignoring my application, or declining it (and don't get me started on automations of them doing this, using AI). Maybe it's my disabilities that prevent me from working, and they don't really care for disabled people working. Pick your poison.
