@@SubtotalStar850-uh8pgIts both to be honest. There's the rising cost of living and companies being companies--who wants to bring children into that? And it's also somewhat ironically individuals who'd rather party every weekend, travel, sleep around, and not settle down. The sort of individualistic self-gratifying in the moment to an extreme people. The really sad part for the latter cohort is they don't realize remaining single means rougher waters for themselves and everyone else. If an individual in a married couple has an economic, medical, or other issue, they can rely on their spouse. Who does the single person rely on? Parents if still around? My nearly 40 yr.old party of a brother just had major surgery. He couldn't even walk when he got home, and doesn't live close to family. So my 60 plus mom had to go and care for him and his pets. That's maybe why so many single people turn to alcohol, drugs, meaningless sex. But with a bad economy and corporate America just conniving against society any wrong move can mean the consequences of those choices are magnified. Probably why you see the direction rates of homelessness, drug addictions/overdoses, mental health issues and suicides. It's better for people to marry or partner up and start a family than to remain single . Period. For economic reasons, safety reasons, love, social cohesion and community, etc. The alternatives are not pretty. And I haven't even gotten to how a low birth rate will affect Social Security and Medicare down the line for the country as a whole.

Honestly it's not that hard you just have to constantly send out a line before you get a bite. It's a lot like fishing it takes lots of time and lots of casting. But that's why I feel like relationships are better, once you have someone locked down it's a lot less difficult to do so again if the relationship doesn't work out
@SubtotalStar850-uh8pg There is a Minimum Viable Hotness to get any bites from hookup culture (unless you're into dudes - Grindr is easy). All the women of the world really can get all their hookup demands met by a small percentage of guys. Perhaps as many as 40% of men can get nonzero participation if they happen to really nail the niche a girl is in the mood for to squeak under her threshold. But a ton of guys really can max out their Tinder swipes every day for 10 years and never get to meet in person. It took me 10 years before the first girl gave me the opportunity to get exploited for a free dinner. However, getting to meet my best friend's girlfriend's cousin led directly to a long-term relationship. Girls won't meet dudes from the internet unless they're hot enough to justify the risk. But if you're friends with a girl, her friends will see you as "certified safe," and you'll have opportunities to meet and leverage your personality. The difference is insane. The way grand-pappy did it is outrageously more effective for those who don't have chiseled abs and an Aston Martin. There just aren't nearly as many of those opportunities as their used to be, since public spaces and social groups are mostly extinct.
@@SubtotalStar850-uh8pgYour bit about "sending out a line" is for opening up a conversation even, it isn't exclusive to ONS. Of course it's hard. Someone's green flag to hookup with someone is someone else's ick. They have choices if theyre gonna be picky on hookups, and premediated pickup lines arent gonna screen much beyond 5 convos down the road. In fact, the best thing to do to get matches is to have a safe or relation oriented profile to get girls at your level or below to date. Which is easy, hooking up is what's hard.

No. The older ones among us are working more than ever, to make up for the lazy ass younger ones who think they are paid merely to show up at work but don’t actually get anything done. I was away from the traditional job market for two decades and returned to it because I felt isolated in my business. Turns out what people used to need a single day to accomplish now takes them an entire week even though they have more efficient tools now. Turns out every single day there is some kind of drama at the office that stops the entire team from working for hours on end. Turns out people are compulsively harassing each other.

Bro I woke up for work and picked up my phone before I got out of bed and this is the first video I see. Thanks for the existential smack in the face ❤
eh I think you're glorifying the 70s and 80s a bit. Many of the ideas destroying society today were already gaining traction in academia and counterculture movements. I think the only thing that might be surprising is that these ideas won, rather than the ideas themselves. You have to go back to the 50s or earlier for something like this to be completely shocking to people.
It wouldn't be all bad from their viewpoint. We have some amazing technology now, AIDS was brought under control, and there's been some legitimate social advancement. But they'd just slip into existential despair that a lot of problems people were _already_ talking about then (systemic racism/sexism/homophobia, wealth inequality, police brutality, environmental collapse, women's rights and healthcare emphasised by _fucking Roe V Wade being overturned_ , on and on) were still around and in some cases backsliding and wiping out progress made.
@@voskresenie-You are probably right, but you dont think most people in the 70s would be shocked that there are over 3 million transsexuals now all of a sudden?

Heck, at Subway I couldn't even manage to make even my own sandwich! I just dishwashed.

And yet other people with no real justification get more. It's just.. so screwed up.
No way-you forgot to add: • “I wack off to pornography, and I’ve lost all sense of willpower to quit and become more in control of my life.” • “I smoke weed to numb my existential dread and convince myself that I have become smarter and more cultured. In reality, I’ve become a stoner with no real aspirations or upward mobility, and it helps me to forget. • “I have a quick phase of going to the gym trying to get more fit, but then give up after 2 weeks-having exhausted all my reserves of willpower, then reluctantly go back to my pre-gym ways, defeated and purposeless.” • “I daydream frequently about ending my own life, but realistically know that I will never actually have the balls to go through with it until I have finally reached rock bottom. I think about the various situations and events that could facilitate me getting there to that state.”
Its weird af that just 30 minutes before watching this video, i was looking up how people are supposed to afford children these days when the average price for daycare is as much as most people's whole paychecks
You can afford kids. People with the big cars, big house, take all the vacations annoy me. Sometimes life involves choices. Today’s young people think they can have it all. You can’t. You never could. Buy a small house. Keep you old car. You can afford kids. It’s called prioritizing. How do I know, cause I was a sahm. One income. We are doing it.
It really is a shame that we are a career oriented society and there's nothing to encourage kids. In Japan they help by paying you for the kid until they turn 18.
"It's cool to live in a career-oriented society that can't afford children." NOT QUITE. Children CAN be affordable but it requires the commitment and dedication of BOTH parents to the child AND each other to make it work: the parents now have a child, so they themselves have to STOP being children themselves. What's really destroying society is the sense of crushing depression that the video expresses. There's nothing good, there's no joy, there's no hope, so there's no point. America has become the picture of deep, chronic depression.

Honestly it's not that hard you just have to constantly send out a line before you get a bite. It's a lot like fishing it takes lots of time and lots of casting. But that's why I feel like relationships are better, once you have someone locked down it's a lot less difficult to do so again if the relationship doesn't work out
@SubtotalStar850-uh8pg There is a Minimum Viable Hotness to get any bites from hookup culture (unless you're into dudes - Grindr is easy). All the women of the world really can get all their hookup demands met by a small percentage of guys. Perhaps as many as 40% of men can get nonzero participation if they happen to really nail the niche a girl is in the mood for to squeak under her threshold. But a ton of guys really can max out their Tinder swipes every day for 10 years and never get to meet in person. It took me 10 years before the first girl gave me the opportunity to get exploited for a free dinner.
However, getting to meet my best friend's girlfriend's cousin led directly to a long-term relationship. Girls won't meet dudes from the internet unless they're hot enough to justify the risk. But if you're friends with a girl, her friends will see you as "certified safe," and you'll have opportunities to meet and leverage your personality. The difference is insane. The way grand-pappy did it is outrageously more effective for those who don't have chiseled abs and an Aston Martin. There just aren't nearly as many of those opportunities as their used to be, since public spaces and social groups are mostly extinct.
@@SubtotalStar850-uh8pgYour bit about "sending out a line" is for opening up a conversation even, it isn't exclusive to ONS.
Of course it's hard. Someone's green flag to hookup with someone is someone else's ick. They have choices if theyre gonna be picky on hookups, and premediated pickup lines arent gonna screen much beyond 5 convos down the road. In fact, the best thing to do to get matches is to have a safe or relation oriented profile to get girls at your level or below to date. Which is easy, hooking up is what's hard.
if u want to see this bleak situation in steroid, welcome to korea where the suicide rate is uncomparably high (twice as much as #2) and the fertility rate is unprecedentedly low beyond measure 😂😂😂 have u ever heard of a country that has 0.52 fertility rate? yeah that's us 😂😂😂
I feel very sorry, that you live in such an environment! I closely watch what will happen to your country , and I forgot often that people live there too. 😮
@@GermanTafferUmmm…yes, that is quite something to overlook.
Yeah, South Korea is doomed. I read that if business as usual continues, and the situation doesn't get worse (it probably will), for every 100 South Koreans today there will only be 4 grandchildren.
At least you don't have a bunch of blacks
And NORTH Korea has a low fertility rate because their people are starving to death.
Forget a dystopian future. We have a dystopian present day… I wonder about how much of tomorrow is determined by today, the present day.
Without being "political," Content Machine's humor has always struck people as having parachuted into our times from slightly saner ones. This is their first real foray into social commentary over laughs, and I am definitely here for it!
They’ve done it plenty of times before. That’s why they’re so good. I mean they do occasionally sell themselves and post content which is just adverts…
@AS-pug and even when it's adverts, they're pretty smooth at it. At least way more than most.
Yeah they're one of the good guys.
You must be new.
They made a lot of stuff like this a while back. I think this is the first one in quite some time tho
This is actually a Masterpiece.
Humans are working more than ever and we can't even afford to take care of a cat
Why on Earth would anyone take care of cats? Let them be free and they would take care of themselves like thousands years before us. And guess what: they could afford to mate and have their own family like it meant to be.
@@zorkabiljecki7408cats domesticated themselves.
No. The older ones among us are working more than ever, to make up for the lazy ass younger ones who think they are paid merely to show up at work but don’t actually get anything done. I was away from the traditional job market for two decades and returned to it because I felt isolated in my business. Turns out what people used to need a single day to accomplish now takes them an entire week even though they have more efficient tools now. Turns out every single day there is some kind of drama at the office that stops the entire team from working for hours on end. Turns out people are compulsively harassing each other. What changed in two decades? Gen Z got into the workplace.
@zorkabiljecki7408 ever heard of feral cats? There just cats without homes and they live and piss under houses and eat scraps that humans give them
They showed this clip at my school as part of the decline in intelligent communication and cultural studies
Really? lol high school? How did the students react/take it?
@@onewingangel1117 they think it’s corny and the humor is not funny. But the teacher asked for examples of what was “funny” and no one could come up with anything other than mainstream stuff.
Wow shocked they would show this at school considering how much of the public school system pushes indoctrination
I came here to laugh but instead got depressed because of how much its true☹️
Same... this parody is too on point 😐 I also laughed though.
Yep, this is a documentary

Work 50 in a week and the dude in the video could get a look in....
My dad has done this for at least 40 years. I don't know how he could do it. I saw it growing up and I developed a phobia of that becoming my life, and so I have just steered clear of that.
@@romancetips365 It destroys your humanity. So yeah.
@@gabrieljordan8015 it also destroys your family life. My father is almost the same. He worked his ass of to climb the career-ladder and now earns more than enough to support the need of his family. But there's almost no connection between us because he was absent most of the time and mostly stressed when he was home.
I work 40 hours a week, always have money in fact I have several thousand dollars in my account AND in cash. You people are just doing life wrong. I work in a warehouse 😂
This is life for many people in their 20s and 30s in the USA and only a video like this snaps you out of a stupor
Not just the USA. Nearly world wide
A little bit too coincidental that it's pretty much only happening in Western countries all at the same time

It's highly ironic how in one way or another, unintentionally, many of the comments posted here reveal the forbidden truth expressed in the video.
Yes, unfortunately.

The doomscroll with the clothes on the bed is scary accurate
Literally every evening for me 😅
Bro I woke up for work and picked up my phone before I got out of bed and this is the first video I see. Thanks for the existential smack in the face ❤
Culture In Decline
"A casual, meaningless hook up." Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here.
They're not fancy, just washed.
The wisdom you guys have at your age is truly awesome. Gives me hope!

This is our world now.
Only if you choose it.

Honestly , if you have a girlfriend or even had girlfriends and can get casual hook-ups, your life is pretty decent.
Culture In Decline
Imagine you had a time machine and just went back to say...the 70s or 80s. You describe the US in 2024, nobody would believe you.
Yeah they thought we'd have flying cars and traveling to the moon would be trivial.
eh I think you're glorifying the 70s and 80s a bit. Many of the ideas destroying society today were already gaining traction in academia and counterculture movements. I think the only thing that might be surprising is that these ideas won, rather than the ideas themselves. You have to go back to the 50s or earlier for something like this to be completely shocking to people.
It wouldn't be all bad from their viewpoint. We have some amazing technology now, AIDS was brought under control, and there's been some legitimate social advancement. But they'd just slip into existential despair that a lot of problems people were _already_ talking about then (systemic racism/sexism/homophobia, wealth inequality, police brutality, environmental collapse, women's rights and healthcare emphasised by _fucking Roe V Wade being overturned_ , on and on) were still around and in some cases backsliding and wiping out progress made.
@@voskresenie-You are probably right, but you dont think most people in the 70s would be shocked that there are over 3 million transsexuals now all of a sudden?
I’m pretty sure this was also a thing in the 70s and 80s minus the communism. Doomscrolling was called “flipping the channel.”
This is like 60% of us bro. That was uncalled for 😂
Should be titled, "day in the life of a leftard". Especially the communism part
For real 😂
At first I thought this was a documentary, but then I realized it was just satire because there was no mention of recreational drug use to self medicate the daily existential dread.

He has access to benzos no need to self medicate when someone is already medicating you
@@pinecactus9672 it wouldn’t count as “recreational” if they’re prescribed and used as instructed, in the video it seems like he’s prescribed these pills by the doctor

Applying to hundreds of jobs with no response hit hard. I've only had one job interview in the past year and it's getting fucking depressing.
You're not alone, took me 11 months and hundreds of applications to get a job
"50% of Americans have dpression and anxiety" yeah... obviously
Ahaha it always makes me laugh, first world people with flats, cars, computers, 7$ lattes and stuff are taking anxiety and depression pills while people in trenches or poor villages god knows where say they’re thankful for living another day😅
Best video they have ever done. Truly sad how accurate this is.
“Career oriented society that can’t afford children” 😂on a serious note tho, it’s not even just finances anymore, our society actively discourages having a family in a lot of ways
the worst part is most people have it worse than this guy, and his life is supposed to be bad
His life isn't good from the perspective of people who live in his society.
By your logic, as long as someone's life is "worse" than yours, you can't have a "bad" life

@@wojciechsawicki4733 if im wrong. Explain to me why you would use the word "supposed"? It is implying you don't consider his life to be bad. And by saying "most people have it worse" its as though you are reinforcing this.

if only collecting money from the government was that easy 😩 some of us actually need it and they just make up nonexistent reasons to deny us
And yet my cousin who doesn't work NOT because she can't get a job but because she says working at McDonalds is “too hard” ends up getting enough money from the government to go on bi-yearly vacations to Florida and drink her heart out.
@@EmperorObamayeah I don't understand it. Why does it seem so easy for freeloaders to get it, but actual legit people have to go through so many hoops?
I have pretty legit reasons given ADHD (ADD) and Autism (I'm not that kind you think of) which severely hamper my intellect (I'm smart, but take forever to learn and can hardly do most things other than basic stuff) and Im struggling to get disability.
They want me in Vocal Rehab to find me a job, which I'm beginning to think I simply can't manage. All I can really do is one relatively simple task for a job. Heck, at Subway I couldn't even manage to make even my own sandwich! I just dishwashed.
My mother got COVID and has to use a oxygen tank now and she had to get a lawyer just to get $400 a month for disability. Just $400 for a person that effectively can't work anymore! And yet other people with no real justification get more. It's just.. so screwed up.
WTF this guy has the same exact daily routine as me.
No way-you forgot to add:
• “I wack off to pornography, and I’ve lost all sense of willpower to quit and become more in control of my life.”
• “I smoke weed to numb my existential dread and convince myself that I have become smarter and more cultured. In reality, I’ve become a stoner with no real aspirations or upward mobility, and it helps me to forget.
• “I have a quick phase of going to the gym trying to get more fit, but then give up after 2 weeks-having exhausted all my reserves of willpower, then reluctantly go back to my pre-gym ways, defeated and purposeless.”
• “I daydream frequently about ending my own life, but realistically know that I will never actually have the balls to go through with it until I have finally reached rock bottom. I think about the various situations and events that could facilitate me getting there to that state.”

Its weird af that just 30 minutes before watching this video, i was looking up how people are supposed to afford children these days when the average price for daycare is as much as most people's whole paychecks
But seriously, how do people afford it though?
@@js_NaClT I wish I knew. It's fucked up, and they couldn't care less
@@SSJGhost_Wolfwould you be in favor of more social policies to provide poor and lower income people with the resources they need?
You can change where you live, make your own food, not buy so much from stores, get creative. There is a way
@@benjammin8510 I'm talking specifically about daycare.
You can afford kids. People with the big cars, big house, take all the vacations annoy me. Sometimes life involves choices. Today’s young people think they can have it all. You can’t. You never could. Buy a small house. Keep you old car. You can afford kids. It’s called prioritizing. How do I know, cause I was a sahm. One income. We are doing it.
What were they doing inside the room??? 💀😭
Yoga...
Light hedonism, like he/she/they/it said

It really is a shame that we are a career oriented society and there's nothing to encourage kids. In Japan they help by paying you for the kid until they turn 18.
I mean mostly because their birth rates are even lower over there
and it's a vain effort , the whole system is stuck in itself .
Do you understand the irony of using Japan, one of the poster children of low birthrates and career oriented lifestyles, as an example?
We love the "casual meaningless hook-ups" dont we guys?! 😅
Before I was in a relationship around a year ago, I had them pretty often. I loved it honestly but my girlfriend now prefers to be monogamous. 🤷
Oh yeah. Happens to me all the time (sarcasm)
Very sad for young people. Its reality now.
"It's cool to live in a career-oriented society that can't afford children." NOT QUITE. Children CAN be affordable but it requires the commitment and dedication of BOTH parents to the child AND each other to make it work: the parents now have a child, so they themselves have to STOP being children themselves.
What's really destroying society is the sense of crushing depression that the video expresses. There's nothing good, there's no joy, there's no hope, so there's no point. America has become the picture of deep, chronic depression.
