You act as though I'm not bitter about it. You pointing out how great it was and how much it sucks that I missed it only makes me more bitter.

There is no job market where I live. As in within my friend group, we have collectively applied to ~30 jobs in the last year and gotten 2 responses. My employer was very clear that they were not giving time off for the eclipse, so that wasn't an option. And had I just left, bye bye job. Can't pay rent, can't afford food.

If you want to point out how much it sucks, by all means. But don't act like you know my situation, like I don't know what I had to miss out on, and then point to fucking xkcd saying "see? I'm right".

Grow some fucking perspective.
