Almost Thirty and Hopeless

Text on the meme

This sub is completely overtaken by fakecels and it pisses me off. None of you will ever understand what it's like to be almost 30 with a dead end job having missed out on love in your teens/20s and be truly hopeless. Japanese kushiyaki

What it means

A paper plate is piled high with grilled meat skewers, presented as Japanese kushiyaki. The joke is the bleakly dramatic contrast between the despairing rant about being nearly 30 and the oddly cheerful photo of a large, appetizing meal, making it useful as an absurd reaction to exaggerated hopelessness.
