I have this same feeling almost constantly and I'm over 40. I've been a "leftist" of some variety most of my life, especially if we're counting anything that's anti-capitalist as left. I look at it as a good thing. My present self might cringe at my past self, but that's the cost of learning new shit.
I only really accepted this in the last 5 years or so doing software development. I have worked on the same project for 6+ years and constantly run into my old code and think how terrible it is and how could I ever be this dumb, etc. Now I just view that experience as the cost of improving.
If I looked at my old code (or my old ideology) and it was exactly the same as it is now, I would probably cringe even harder.
Ah yes, their skulls are just the right shape and their eyes are exactly the right distance apart to know for sure they are sex offenders. You can also tell by the angle of their noses that they have low IQs and their shoe size is a clear indicator of laziness.
Libs already jumping on people for not wanting to vote for Newsome and it's not even midterms yet. We live in a hell world nightmare loop and there's no end in sight.
I've had some stainless steel pots and pans for almost 20 years now. Basically look new still and I suck at taking care of things. I got divorced and all I wanted to keep was these pans and my cat
If we gotta have libs at least let them be cool like Omar. She bowed up on that dude almost immediately. I wish she could've hit him, shit woulda been so funny.
Same. Kept getting called a communist/socialist by everyone when I was suggesting very basic progressive things. Started researching what it actually meant and even did a school project to make a fake country modeled after Cuba. At first it was kind of a joke, but by the end it was like wtf am I a communist?
I work for a huge international company no one has ever heard of and they laid off hundreds of people and outsourced 100+ more over the last two years. All in the US, teams in other countries don't seem to have any changes. I have no idea how I survived, they wiped out my whole team except for me and one other person.
I've been job hunting for years off and on, at least 100 applications and I have only gotten a couple interviews for equally shitty companies. I can't see things getting better any time soon, only worse. The companies know they have us locked in and I already feel the pressure to give more and more to avoid the next round of layoffs. I do 3-5x the work of any other person in measurable ways and who fucking knows how much shit I do behind the scenes.
