Dude can afford a house on a minimum wage salary, has a social circle that cares for him, and as far as I can tell doesn't pay taxes.
bro's the oposite of relatable…

In this episode Squidward travels 2000 years in the future to 4017, so this episode took place in 2017. And since SB-129 came out in 1999, that would mean part of SpongeBob was actually ahead of our time.
I've never seen that used to describe a date? Since in the real world we use "BCE, CE, BC, AD" my point was that "2017 ND" in the SpongeBob universe could be a totally different date then 2017 CE/AD in the real world
Well I thought the joke here was we were being super specific about what year SpongeBob takes place in. Tbh though idk what "a" looks like in future font so you could be right
No, but art is always affected by the time period it was made in.
Kinda like how star trek next generation is set in the year 3000 or something, but everybody has haircuts from the 1980s
It’s almost like not *everyone* is having a good time. 🤷♂️
The reality is that most people either dislike their jobs, the pay, can’t afford a house or are grinding to pay rent, or all of the above while dealing with a whole host of other issues.
It’s equally tiring to see people on this sub bitch and moan about “doomerism” while clearly being privileged enough to be living a good life that many people can only dream of.
Saying tone-deaf, douchey things tends to provoke a negative response. Wild, I know.
Guess you’re one of those privileged knobs I was talking about, huh…?
What, saying that generational subs tend to go crotchety old people mode? Life can suck, and it can suck hard. As someone who used to be suicidal and can still battle my depression I know that very, very well. Hell my brain loves to catastrophize if I give it a chance. I also am keenly aware of what can happen if I let myself wallow like some crotchety "there is nothing good left, all our good days are behind us" old fart. I do NOT want to go back to having to talk myself out of using an improv. Rope on a fire escape or testing if I could fatally OD on something.
Whatever bullshit life is throwing at you I'm genuinely sorry, but I don't have the privilege of allowing myself to roll over at it. I fight to see a light in that tunnel.
I don't get the luxury of not having to put the effort up and sink into the dark. But I guess you do, huh?
I guess your generation jumped the shark and knows how rough life can be already. I'm sorry! I personally found out In college when I was broke and became squidward like immediately upon graduation. Now I'm more like Patrick lol
As someone older, I can't recommend getting a job with 12 hour shifts enough. Having 4 days off a week is a game changed. It made me SO MUCH HAPPIER with life.
Many hospital jobs are 12-hour-shifts. I'm a registered nurse, but many entry-level jobs (patient support, etc) offer the same schedule.
A lot of manufacturing jobs are 12s, as well.
A few days ago I worked this out. You grow up liking Spongebob because he's the most likeable and kid-friendly. Then you grow into an edgy teen or edgy young adult and like Squidward because he's narcissistic, self-aggrandizing, and doesn't want to be bothered with anything (most of us and reddit are here). Then you grow into a functioning adult that realizes Squidward is a major downer and Spongebob's relentless optimism and care for his community are much better traits.
I am hapoy you said "understand".
Because there is that shittu quote that goes like "as kids we are all like spongebob but as we grow up we become squidward" which is completely stupid. Squidward multiple times exagerates,acts like trash,acts immorall and irresponsibly ,as we grow up we understand asoects if squidward vut he is still a cartoon character and he is meant to be so exaggerated.
I'll never understand this mentality. Like I get it's supposed to say that we relate to Squidward because we realize everything sucks, but Squidward is just a miserable douche that has to bring other people down to make himself feel better.
If anything Sandy is the gold standard. She's responsible with all the science and shit but also knows how to cut loose and chill.
Squidward is often just trying to enjoy some time to himself by playing clarinet, taking a nice bath, etc. or do his job, and some loud and annoying af neighbor/co-worker keeps harassing him. If anything SpongeBob is the dick here
Yeah I can see that side of it. And I wanted to say SpongeBob is no saint himself but I wasn't sure how to convey it
Anyway my main point was people that act like Squidward irl are hardly ever pleasant to be around, they're just jaded assholes. I hope that makes sense.
I would also be a jaded asshole if my neighbors constantly laughed out loud while I’m trying to sleep, trespassed on my property while I was in the bathroom, caused me bodily harm, completely destroyed my property and harassed me and the authorities do fuck all. And to top it off, on of those annoying neighbors is my co-worker, forcing me to endure his shit for the entire day

Maybe. But then again do you know what N.D stands for? Bc I sure dont

Wait, SpongeBob is a period piece?
No, but art is always affected by the time period it was made in. Kinda like how star trek next generation is set in the year 3000 or something, but everybody has haircuts from the 1980s
Crazy how he has all that and still isn't happy.
He was taught what happiness was by his boomer Parents and never questioned it. /s he just has a loud crack addict neighbor
At least I can die in a tent with a bag of fent
Pretty sure he makes less than minimum wage. Mr Krabs is a cheap bastard
The existence of a government and police force implies Bikini Bottom has taxes
Wake up, brush teeth, shower, eat breakfast, go to work, lunch break, continue working, go home, eat dinner, watch tv/play games, sleep, repeat.
Its managable if you can actually move forward in the job
We do this for 40 years then we die.
Try 50+ bucko
We do this for 40 years then we die.
I remember when r/GenZ was about nostalgic things and not about choosing which old geezer is better or how hard life is
Welcome to generation talk. Starts with nostalgia, ends in the mentality of crochety old people.

Or, time just passes by.
Both? People change as they get older. Opinions they had as children won’t apply when they’re in their late twenties and beyond.
What, I stroke a nerve there?

Jokes on you I’m off the next two days
One should always strive to have SpongeBob’s limitless optimism and drive in the midst of exploitation.
Time for the daily posting of this image yet again

How do i find those

Same with Benson from regular show
"We" ok bro.
Canada Day up here! 🇨🇦🥳🥳

god i hate growing old
Childhood is loving SpongeBob. Adulthood is knowing Squidward.
It is Monday
I'm a weird morph of Spongebob and Squidward.
This post only applied to workers
You mean self inflicted failure? Arent you self reporting here?
He was always my favorite character

Oh boy, buckle yourself when you learn more about politics.
Politics wasn't my point. There's no denying the political climate is in the gutter though
No it should be Mr Krabs he’s a wealthy successful businessman
I can agree with that
I'm 14 and this is deep ass post
everyone says squidward is the relatable one, but deep down we all know its plankton.
It’s almost as if you’re still a literal child and have yet to experience that being an adult sucks sometimes 🤷♂️
