How do I get my life together?

I live with my mother. My mom has always been emotionally dependent and was psychologically abused by her own mother as a child. She clings on me and controls me, she paranoically gives me unwanted advice and talks my ear off, makes a bunch of mistaken assumptions and misunderstandings. She loses it if I talk back, or if I talk any bit more energically, she says she's too old to change, she blocks any communication and wants to have the final word on every petty argument. I don't want her hurt. I can't stand her shit either.

I don't want to pay rent to live and work a shit enslaving job, I studied medicine and I don't want to deal with sick miserable people anymore. I don't want high stakes high responsibility work. I don't know what to study that leads to a balanced lifestyle with understanding friends.

My age weights on me, and it seems every fucking problem compounds on itself. I am living a life I never fucking wanted and ended up choosing to suck up to my parents because they couldn't handle their own shit. The therapist doesn't give me advice on how to choose the best fit life for me, he just tells me to cope with the pile of shit im sunk in. I have no idea where to start, I have $7000 to my name and that's it.

>This would be me if I hadn't studied medicine
Please, don’t compare yourself to others. This is the easiest way to lose your confidence and drive to improve your life. Just because he looks like he’s had no hardship in life doesn’t mean it’s true. Successful people can have tough lives too.
>I guess yes, the main problem for me is I don't have a passion
When it comes to careers, passion doesn’t matter most of the time. Many people have burned out in their dream jobs and hate them now.
>but I don't know how to find people to share these passions with and develop them
If there’s no place for it on 4chan, then try some subreddits or discord groups. For drawing, go to /ic/ or /trash/. You don’t even have to go there, all you need to do is ask in a random thread on your favorite board for drawing request.
>so the time to develop my interests and the time needed to surround myself with people goes past me
You can always make friends and enjoy your hobbies after work. Besides, you can do it right now! You’re a neet, so you have plenty of time!
>I wouldn't like to be an employee making others money, but I don't want to scam people out of their money
Then stay a NEET until your mom dies. Do you think people like their jobs? Of course not. But it’s about survival. How can you achieve something grand without money? Without experience? You either work for someone and have a stable income, or you work for yourself and take on huge responsibilities, not just for yourself, but for your company, your employees, and your livelihood. If you’re this hesitant, you’ll achieve nothing. Start being more proactive in life. Also, stop thinking about doing something grand, I can see you’re the type of person who gets blocked by such big goals. Many great things were made by people who didn’t think too much about them. Just chill out, don’t overthink, start taking action and great things will happen. Being stressed out about unrealistic long term goals is not productive at all

Am I the only one who doesn't purchase a game if I see the devs have a bluesky in the links & Info section? When that happens I always pirate them. Even if the game is pretty good I don't support mental illness.

The modern internet is designed to be convenient. Algorithms on platforms like X tirelessly curate "For You" feeds, aiming to show us exactly what we want to see. But this convenience comes at a price: we are trapped in a feedback loop of the familiar, governed by engagement metrics rather than genuine discovery.
To find something truly unique, you have to break the machine. I’ve started using a different method: bypassing the algorithmic gatekeepers entirely by manual searching via xcancel/Nitter.

X is essentially a massive, chaotic landfill of data, a mountain of digital trash. The platform's algorithm is designed to surface what is popular or provocative, but it is fundamentally incapable of recognizing a "hidden gem." It prioritizes the loud over the profound.
When you use xcancel to search for specific, niche (random?) keywords without being logged into a personalized profile, the experience is jarring. The vast majority of what you see is irrelevant noise. However, this is where the magic happens. By manually sifting through the debris, you encounter "pearls", eccentric thoughts, obscure primary sources, or niche conversations- that an algorithm would have filtered out for being too "irrelevant" to your profile.
This is the fundamental difference between randomized discovery and algorithmic personalization. One gives you a mirror of your own interests; the other gives you a shovel and a map to the unknown. It is tedious, manual work, but in a world of polished, predictable feeds, it is the only way to find the treasures buried deep within the data pile.

>He presents his post as a if it's a Substack article

why should i make an account on a site, where nobody reads my shit anyway? all these big plattforms are rigged and beside that, i have no interest in cultivating an identity and parasitic/parasocial relationships. 4chan and leftypol are my personal blogs and i post whatever i want. this the entire point of imageboards, right? somebody has to create the value, otherwise we would only have sojaks and pepes.

afaik phones don't usually flip the pics they just keep whether it's flipped or not in the pic's metadata but 4chan scrapes all the metadata from pics so the site doesn't know it's supposed to be flipped

Welcome to Nobody General: Nobody Wins Edition — the thread where every argument burns all its fuel and coasts gently into a ditch. This is the land of eternal stalemates, circular logic, and debates so long everyone forgets which side they were on. Hot takes cool into lukewarm leftovers, mic drops bounce sadly on the floor, and Nobody just watches it all like, “Yep… this again.” There are no trophies here, no crowns, no final bosses — just vibes, entropy, and the quiet understanding that the real victory was wasting time together.
