My enemy is the system. My enemy is dark money in Washington. My enemies are republicans and corporate democrats. My enemy is gerrymandering. My enemy is propaganda. My enemy is human nature. My enemy is the world. ---

As someone who has spent most of his life poor I know that all too well. Though I didn’t have a TV during some of my toughest times; for a few years there my version of bread and circuses was checking out books at the library to read. Which made things weird sometimes when I would talk with coworkers and they’d mention some TV show or movie or current event that I’d never heard of. I felt really out of touch with the world. And I’m glad you got the TV, I had never heard of a TCL before picking one up for a price I could actually afford. Since then I’ve learned that it has a good reputation as a “budget TV” which is right up my alley. (Though I’m not poor, I spent enough time poor that I’ve learned how to bargain shop, it’s in my blood.) ---

Three years ago, you posted: > [@Do I Have A Chance At Life?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-i-have-a-chance-at-life/917981): > > I’m 33, I still live at home, and have never worked. I am a high school drop out. My life revolves around pills. They are the only thing to give me meaning. I depend completely on my aging parents. I am quite literally \*\*\*\*\*\* when they are gone. I keep suicide on the table for when that happens. What I’m asking is if there’s any way to climb out of this pit, or if I should keep popping pills and off myself when the inevitable happens. I could use a glimmer of hope. You need to find emotional help. Raging at everyone else who seems to have it better than you can only make things worse. You need to work on _you_, not everyone else. ---

Are you trying to provoke me? Trying to see how far you can push it? I wouldn’t do that, if I were you. ---

I think I’m safe. Even if you knew where I lived, you would have to convince your mom to drive you there. ---

Agreed! But, this particular poster likes to attack and provoke other posters. He does it often and not just in Pit threads. ---
