My problem in school were feminists who'd literally laugh me out of the CS 101 classroom because I was 30, a self taught programmer, and never worked in the industry. They ended up feeling real stupid for laughing at a member of a minority they claim they want to see achieve equity when the professor sent them to me because the professor wouldn't spend 3 hours in office debugging their final project with them.

or the other geniuses who had failed CS a few times already, basically wrote me off, and ended up with a good job despite the constant failure. Felt like Pinky or Ella or Chelsea Charms or some shit though when they'd fight over who I'd partner up with in CS 2++.

Otherwise, yeah, no one ever wants shit to do with me and then wonders why I'm quiet. Why bother talking? I won't be taken seriously. Won't even be completely heard. I kinda wish I had your problem. It would've made my time through college a lot less stressful. Pretty fucked up when people think they can come to you for help because the system has been kicking you in the teeth for so long you're actually good at the shit you're in college for.

and i'm poor af with few opportunities so i'll get right on starting my own company in between driving for uber eats just to hopefully cover credit card debt and stay afloat. like so many lucky people are capable of doing. Just let dig up Russell Mean's body and get a loan cause he was rich and shit.

Also, unlike those women who are doing well I don't have shit going for me. All my help got me nowhere just like all the work I've put into improving my life. Really cool. Guess I'll keep working even harder for no payoff while others benefit off barely doing the bare minimum cause that's life and it's totally the way things should be apparently. Until depression and mental illness finally get me to kill myself like everyone seems to want.

Still can't really move my right arm after that spill on black ice last night. Same side of my body I had my stroke on years ago. But the point and solution is to just work harder. Keep working harder. Just keep trying. Shit like treatment resistant clinical PTSD only exist because you're lazy. Like my arm not really moving without serious effort and tons of pain. Can't even give my poor cat the love he deserves cause of it.

But I'll just toss some dirt on it and keep working hard for our rich overlords until I can't move or do anything at all.

Birth defect btw. Nothing I did or could have done. Not that, that ever matters for people either. People are just assholes and if they got paid for it there'd be a lot less poverty in the world
