If you're not planning on starting a family, just be a welfare leech.
I just work part time and my brothers and I all got our own house together. All we do is play vidya and occasionally bring tinder bawds over, but mainly just vidya. It feels like heaven. There’s nothing comfier than coming home and talking vidya and kino with your brothers
must be cool to have brothers, all my siblings are 10 years older than me and moved away / have families
its by design, makes people less aware.
it makes you impulsive and convenience seeking because you're always worried about how little free time you have.
it makes you much more likely to spend money on food you don't have to prepare yourself, or entertainment that requires little personal investment
its even worse if you work full time, because at that point you have basically no free time at all, your 'free time' is spent getting your shit together like bills and cleaning so you don't have to worry about it while you work
>shower
>cleaning and laundry not included
>what are weekends
>what are weekends
More workdays, you fricking homosexual.
woman detected
you should put making this thread every day on the clock
Before the industrial revolution people worked less.
they also lives shittier lives
Imagine being this much of a timelet. Showering, work travel, and work is only 8 hours total for me, and I only do 4 days a week. Plus my job comes with some pretty good money saving perks.
Their lives were also considerably worse than modern lives. I only work 28 hours a week and get to spend tons of time playing games, lurking, going to the gym, and all the while I pay my own bills and still have enough left over to build up nice savings. Life is so fricking easy it's unreal.

Just a rare day of "we have to update software when clients aren't using it"
Just sleep less
Unironically what I do. Maximum of 6 hours. Only sleep longer on weekends.
>WFH
just work from home bro.
Sign up for a call center gig
It depends on what you do, I work from home for a call center snd I'm still tired as frick
True but I don't think it's exactly hard to get an extremely passive gig with a call center. Inbound calls and/or webchat shit is where most people start at and as long as you don't stupidly promote into a high maintainance position you can maintain your hobbies very easily...
And hell if you have hobbies anyway I guarantee you aren't gonna be able to get into a high maintenance position anyway because there's a TON of people in call center gigs who live their job and do all sorts of busybody side project bullshit for their managers.
Actually I'm in an outbound shit
What are your working hours like, is there flextime like Start at 7am and finish at 2pm?
>bro just get a job where 1000000 indians are also applying for 50% cheaper
Impossible without connections.
You can start by actually trying to apply
Is someone really monitoring the calls?
Can you just bullshit your way into getting people to not hang up?
>Americans drive for 2 hours
You failed.
this. anything over 30 minutes (with car) is bad and not worth it.
either move closer or change job
Skill issue
I wfm, I get up 10 mins before my shift, I eat while working and shower and get ready during my breaks, I refuse to step foot in an office again

u got a ritalin prescription or a dealer? im this close to looking for them at this point
it's a prescription, kind of expensive to get diagnosed and shit in europe but it massively changed my life.
The only reason I managed to sink 200 hours into totk was because I was playing during work hours, when the meds were active and dopamine was normalized

Whatever you say senpai. Enjoy that transition.
tbf I see where you're coming from because a lot of media is of poor quality but if you don't take time to reflect and think about politics and make an effort to stay informed you just end up being cattle
Imagine having an hour of free time a day and STILL spending it in an off-topic Ganker thread.
>informing yourself about current events (easy to control)
lmao there's no unbiased way to "inform yourself about current events". Ironically, the people who do this are the ones easy to control.

ex-squeeze me?
Why do weirdos only ever talk about exercising at the gym? There’s like a hundred ways to exercise and the gym is the worst one.
Because these morons cannot fathom the concept of actually driving a bicycle outside or going for an actual run outside. Or going for a swim. Or doing bodyweight exercises (which are more than enough unless you want to build muscle for some reason but even then you can just buy weights). Gym is the worst place to exercise, really.
>Gym is the worst place to exercise, really.
Maybe if gym is too expensive, far, crowded etc.
Gym is literally the easiest way to get fit and if you say otherwise you are a moron.
And I am not even talking about getting huge muscles. There is a reason all the fit b***hes go to gym.
>There is a reason all the fit b***hes go to gym.
Yeah to look at fit guys
>be fastgay
>don't need to cook/eat everyday
Saves up time. Also laundry is 100% bullshit, cause I know how to do it. It's just throwing clothes in a washing machine, then a dryer, then a bin of clean clothes. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes

"Eat, drive" shouldn't be taking 4 hours a day.
Get a job which is <30min drive away and eat less you fat frick.
It's not as bad as you think, although I still hate my job and want to retire already (I'm 25).
Also 20% of the time I leave early because frick them.
Weekend is basically .
the drive parts shouldnt be a thing
In amerilardia it's probably not an option unless you want to live in a ghetto. Not even from america and I have to commute 2h a day from uni (drive 20 min to the tram station then 40 min of tram because it's impossible to find parking space near the building, then again when going back)

>work is 9 to 5
8 to 5 (plus unpaid lunch hour with company meetings) is the absolute minimum these days
i tried
i tried
i tried
i'm tired
This dude doesn't poop
the boss makes a dollar, i make a dime
and that's why i shit on company time
I've actually managed to move dinner into company time as well as shitting at this point. 12 hour shifts are a b***h but they do have some advantages, especially night work. Nobody cares if you take an extra 30 minutes since everybody does it, and 1.5 hours is plenty to prepare a decent meal even using the work facilities, which are uncontested because, again, night shift. Air fryers are a gift from whichever god is coolest.
Realistically looking at the breakdown, this gives me approximately 220~ additional hours of free time each year, which is almost ten whole days.
I also do my taxes at work.
None of these work except maybe siesta.
Notably, every single triphasic and onwards will basically guarantee that your brain is reduced to slush by the time you're 50. There are exceptions, some people can get away with that, I know a guy who has been living on 4 hours of sleep a night for the last ten years and only seems mildly tired, but assuming you're one of them seems like a fool's bet.
Try any of these and after 1 year you'll be ready to just have a nice day.
I honestly don't think Biphasic TED and Siesta seem that unachievable. Honestly, they seem almost normal.
There are people that automatically wake up in the middle of the night, go get something to eat, read a bit, and then fall back asleep.
In the same way there are people who nap during the day.
Biphasic TED is apparently the way our ancestors used to sleep
>Go to bed at 7/8
>wake up at 1AM for no reason
>go back to sleep at 3/4 cause it takes way too long to go to back to sleep when I wake up at 1
>realize I've been doing bihasic TED by accident
The frick?
I feel like a moron for taking so long to realise monophasic sleep is a byproduct of industrial society. Your employer wants everyone to be there at predictable times. Before large scale industry it makes more sense to have a more flexible sleep... it's even beneficial to sleep to save your energy.
>it's even beneficial to sleep to save your energy
ding ding ding. I myself am a huge fan of the biphasic TED with a mid-day siesta. Feels like the perfect rhythm of sleep for how we should naturally operate
8 AM: wake up, open slack and do my stand up
8:15: get out of bed, breakfast, assume Ritalin
9:15: effect kicks in, concentration skyrockets, work as if possessed
12PM: effect is over, ride on the fading effect until lunch
12:30-1: lunch
1-1:30: walk outside to digest, then get afternoon pill.
1:30-2: fap and play something quick before going back to work
2: back to work, concentration rises
3: get last pill of the day, keep working
6: stop working, cool down, meds are running out, motivation for after-work entertainment or activities slowly fades, proceed to do fricking nothing until dinner
9PM: zombie mode until midnight, completely tapped out
12PM: go to bed, don't sleep until 2AM
repeat
>open slack
I don't get how this shitty chat print money
>hour-and-a-half for lunch
I'd lunch in 10 minutes but parents like to make meals long and unpleasant
I work 4 days a week, a total of 22-24 hours but I am paid 35 hours if I don't call in.
It's funny that salary business men that make 6 figures have way more free time now since no one needs to show up to the office for a 30 minute meeting. Meanwhile wagie cagies work "supercycles" 4 day 10-12 hour shifts of bone breaking labor where most of your time off is spent resting your body.
Wake up at 7, be at work by 8, be home by 3,microwave some shit meal,play 2 more hours til 9 watch weebshit until midnight.
I pity americans.
> I'm American
Wake up at 7, be at work by 8, be home by 4, drink soda, play vidya or browse Ganker till 11, sleep, repeat

Are you a woman?
"Working" from home chads win again.

When you "take" that shit you're not only wasting your life you're also guaranteeing that you'll always be poor and never experience the delicacies that come with haviing excessive amounts of money.
you know tonegawa's speech is directed towards aimless wagies, right?
>delicacies that come with haviing excessive amounts of money
such as?
>Aimless wagies
Yeah, and doesn't that sound familiar to someone who merely just collects their check every month,scrounging by on the bare minimum while pretending they're useless?
>such as
That's a question you can only answer yourself. All our needs are different. However that pitiful amount of money you receive won't grant them. Money is freedom.
i'm a simple man and enjoy my simple life, the "bare minimum" you talk about is more than i need even
i'd be a fricking moron to not exploit the system and scoot on by instead of killing myself physically for some kind of moronic sense of pride or whatever
A lot of teenagers and poverty stricken people say stuff like that. I'm not trying to be demeaning Anon however ONE DAY there's going to be something you want and you're going to be utterly unprepared for it because you chose to treat your life like it's provisional or just another number. All those exact same days catch up to you when something like that happens. It's just part of growing up, different flavors of success is a human need.
It's not about expensive hobbies or tastes. It's about having dreams and apsirations. Which is something as a human you're never going to escape from. It's the main reason why guys come on here and start crying about no GF. That's their dream. And dreams,aspirations,they are expensive. They cost money. And you aren't gonna get that money by being Chris-chan.
i'm in my 30s anon, and i'm not poverty-stricken cause i live in a country with really good disabilitybux
im pretty sure if i had some grand sense of "something i want" it would have manifested by now, some of us just lack that kinda drive
theres zero doubt in my mind that i'll be happy to just keep doing what im doing now until i die
But I can afford a roof over my head without having to deal with woman's and children's nagging at the age of 24.
I don't need more.
based i bought my first place at 25, i am 29 now.
it feels good to be independent. might get a doggo in the future.
Your worldview is that the only dreams and aspirations which are valid are those which require money? I feel sad on your behalf, my man.
Maybe I just have a warped perspective. The things which I love, the things which keep me going, are all things for which an abundance of money wouldn't improve all that much, so again, it doesn't address the actual cold hard logic of it all.
Fundamentally, I would separate out the idea of happiness into two parts - Pleasure, and fulfilment. The former are the momentary joys of life. Eating a good meal, watching a great movie, jerking off, drugs, whatever. These will feed the body. Fulfilment feeds the soul, and that is what I think you mean when you say dreams and aspirations, this idea of fulfilment. This is harder to satisfy, since it is definitely more wishy-washy and less something that you can decide to do then and there. It is the mastery of creative pursuits, a long term relationship, raising children.
A man could have all the money in the world and still not understand that while he is chasing pleasure, he has no idea what would fulfil him. A penniless pauper could lack money for the common joys, but so long as he has a sketchbook and a pencil, be fulfilled.
If somebody knows what fills their soul, and they can acquire it cheaply, why should they put in more effort to acquire fleeting joys? A man could work twice as hard, and that which he loves could take the form of something for which money would only bring small improvements, and in the process have much less energy with which to pursue it. Why should he?
based and soulpilled, have some kanroji tighs anon.
let me guess, [generic normalgay goal] is what is soulful and [thing normalgays deem stupid] is hedonistic and lebad?
I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make. Maybe give some examples? I don't really want to judge anybody, just encourage people to think about whether or not the things that they are pursuing will actually make them feel whole inside, or just temporarily dull the aching void.
Literally every time someone tells me about "true" goals (replace "true" with soulful, good, mature, intelligent, and various other epithets) it's some kind of generic socially and politically correct goal, like dedicate your life to the community, donate, be useful to others, reproduce, pay taxes, pick up plastic bags off the streets, adopt some Black, etc.
What? God no. I'm all about individual pursuit of the self. As long as it's not hurting anybody else then you should seek out whatever it is that lets you sleep peacefully at night.
I'm not gonna judge somebody for feeling content when they perform an atruistic act, though. If that's their thing, that's their thing. Some people will only be at peace with the world if they fly off to Africa and do everything in their power to save a few dozen starving kids. Me? I like to cook.
That's awesome. I like your answer and I agree with you.
>A penniless pauper could lack money for the common joys, but so long as he has a sketchbook and a pencil, be fulfilled.
This whole poverty = no gf thing is moronic anyways. What, my parents, their parents, their parents, etc etc, who grew up in the mountains and doing construction jobs at 6 just didn't exist? No they did. Money doesn't stop you from getting girls (unless it's in the west lol)
in fact relationshits based on "love" are more common among poorgays who HAVE to cope with stress and depression by fornicating
sure there is point where money dont matter for relationships but I think most people are below that line.
>you need to put effort and money to make your dreams happen
>posts a picture of this dude's speech who rigged the after-work gambling to make sure the workers remained indebted and enslaved forever, and would've gotten away with it had there not been someone autistic enough to write down every single hand he played to the point Keiji could figure the pattern
Sure, if you have expensive hobbies and tastes.
Some people can make do with little and be happy, and the amount of happiness they might gain over that baseline by putting in more effort to acquire more money just doesn't match up to the happiness they lose by actually putting in that effort. It's just basic logic.
what does provisional mean
Basically like a trial period

Granted I'm only making $700 a week, but after 7 years of NEEThood I think I fell ass backwards into a great job.
If you can live comfortably on it then there's no reason to feel bad about it
I'll take easy work for minimum wage over stressful work which pays six figures, any day of the week, no joshing. I would only ever seek more if I actually needed it to live.
700$ a week is a high tier job for us europoors
kek I work for 100$ a week
Where? North Korea?
haha funny. It's called Europe, maggot
Yeah I live in Europe too
But you could be paid 4x that and I think you'd still be below the minimum wage if it's a full time job
So again - where do you live? Must be a c**t like Belarus or Bosnia that's only "European" on a technicality
Sounds like you need to consult a geography or history book buddy. Can't help you with that, it's a process of self-edumacation that'll take years.
>still won't say where he lives
okay anon, I have a degree in history btw
you probably cheated your way through it like most gays in humanities do
>study humanities
>but also humanities is full of cheating gays!
I accept your concession
And you're stupid too. Just because most of X is bad doesn't mean all of X is bad. If you give me an apple I'll look to see if there are worms in it, which doesn't mean all apples are bad. You are a bad apple, i.e. a moron.
I don't need to take life lessons from someone paid $100 per week, lmao

HOW I am a trainee and make more than that.
So what? Just work 10 years for what some Black person in America makes in 6 months.
maybe in eastern europe, in the first world it's still scraps
>In 2023, the average salary in France is €2,340 net per month or €39,300 net per year. Due to the differences in the cost of living across different French cities, the average salary in Paris is €2,570 net per month, 9.8% higher than the national average.
Stupid moron can't even google.
Oh and FYI the median salary is probably lower.
Average net worth in America is 700k dollars.
Median is 100k.
700 a week is about 2800 a month.
a hair above average isn't "high tier" you moron
for young people it is you stupid moron. Fricking shit why do I have to teach morons on Ganker how to think all the time? I'm not some kind of tard wrangler
Here's what a simple google got me for "median net worth america by age":
>age ........... average ........... median
Less than 35 $76,300 $13,900
35-44 $436,200 $91,300
45-54 $833,200 $168,600
55-64 $1,175,900 $212,500
65-74 $1,217,700 $266,400
75 or more $977,600 $254,800
my RENT ALONE is $700 a week where I live in Europe.
ok homosexual but the average salary in Europe is about 2k euro a month, net
nobody cares about gross salary
and I know we like trolling the Americans but our healthcare is fricking shit and all of us go to private hospitals
My acutul job is 800€ month, a nice job is 1500€ month, a god tier job that make you feel like a good is 2000€+
Depends on whether it's before or after taxes really. It's pretty good either way, so you probably get by comfortably enough. But it's not like you're gonna be able to afford a house still.
I earn 2,200 a month net and have over 700 left over each month without really trying to save up. Feels pretty good.
Where the frick do you live? Even in big cities in Germany you "only" pay like 1000€ a month for some average apartment, not fricking 700 a week.
May I ask what kind of job you do that you can do on your own without your boss?
Freelance and working from home, my last big contract was $6000 a month for six months. Have maybe one such contract every two years, otherwise make $2000-3000 a month.
Here's what my day was like
>7:30 AM: Wake up, shower, surf the internet, check e-mail
>8:50 AM-2:30 PM: Watch two movies in a row at the cinema in walking distance of my place
>2:30 PM-5 PM: Eat lunch, go shopping
>5:30 PM: Get home and start doing surfing the internet and playing games
>8:00-9:00 PM: Work
>9:00-11:00 PM: Video games
>11:00-12:00 PM: Read books then go to sleep
as a freelancer you have a short working time, in which area are you active or specialized?
Corporate translation

I'm 34 and my body feels as good as ever, it's my soul what is tired.
I honestly can't imagine myself being happy working 8h a day. And that's coming from someone that works from home as programmer while slacking off as much as I can.
>programmer
There's your problem
this. you should be working in the country
I know. The thing is that I actually like programming, but doing it at work is completely different, because as enjoyable as this can be for a turbo sperg like me it can also be horrible.
Take the FIFO pill boiz. I work solid for one week then have a full week off to do whatever the frick I want. Life on easy mode.
I don't even "work" for real, like I have a job but I spend almost all of my time slacking, but it still exhausts me
everything exhausts me, even when I have totally free time I can't do anything but go on the computer because it's low effort low commitment
life exhausts me
I'm only doing this shit bc my parents don't deserve to go through the alternative anyway
How is your diet?
Not too bad
Breakfast, cereal with milk
Lunch, typically either pitta+houmous or some sort of bread with chicken or ham, maybe soup
Dinner is usually a ready meal, not the absolute slop ones but something like a chicken curry, thai curry, or spaghetti bolognese is common, a good amount of fish as well
I'll have a banana or an apple as a snack during the day and a chocolate bar after dinner
I was on antidepressants for a while, tried SSRIs and SNRIs in different dosages but none of them had any effects besides making it difficult to get an erection. Literally nothing noticed in terms of energy or mentality.
Try more green vegetables
Probably won't work but there's a chance and it's an easy thing to cross off
50 situps, 50 pushups, 45 minute walk every day. If you are really that exhausted just by sustaining yourself, you need it, make some time.
Why the frick it takes 3 hours to eat and drive moron
just don't work. i work from home and spend 1hr / day replying to slack messages and 1hr / day working , the company will exist without me, even though they are all morons.
stop seeking control, let go and enjoy your life
My life is essentially just over. The last game I actually managed to finish was Skyrim in 2011 and the last game I played more than just a couple of hours is Witcher 3 in 2015.
It's 2023 for fricks sake and I haven't played a real game in about 8 years now.
Here's my fricking schedule:
>Alarm goes off at 7:00
>Gather clothes, shower and checking everything until 8:00
>Kiss girlfriend goodbye as we both leave for our job
>Commute for 30 minutes
>Arrive at 8:30
>Say Hi to all my colleagues, turn on the coffee machine, prepare my desk etc
>Do a team standup at 9:00 where I explain exactly what I want to finish that day
>Hour break between 12:00-13:00 which consists of going to a nearby food place for 20 minutes and using the remaining 40 minutes to talk to the colleagues I like (The flirty chick that is clearly into you)
>Finish up at 17:00 if I managed to get everything done I wanted to do that day
>Girlfriend texts list of groceries she needs
>Go grocery shopping which takes about an hour as everyone and their dog decides to do the same thing at the same time
>Arrive home at 18:30
>Change clothes, clean up the dishes a bit for 30 minutes
>Girlfriend starts cooking at 19:00 while I do the laundry
>Dinner is finished around 20:00 and we eat and chat for an hour about our day together at the dining table with some wine
>Go to bed at 21:00
>Maybe watch a movie or (usually) watch some shitty youtube videos or Ganker funny threads together. Maybe have some sex if we're up for it
>It's already fricking 23:00 and it feels like nothing got done that day
>Sleep & Repeat
Weekends are usually me and her hanging out with friends separately from each other or going shopping for new clothes or work on things that need to be fixed around the house.
I don't even have fricking kids and I already have 0 free time. How the frick do people also manage to have kids? At least I can browse Ganker and post here from work downtime.
>How the frick do people also manage to have kids?
why do you think birthrates are dwindling in first world countries? ain't nobody got time and money for raising a kid properly
>do groceries every single day
>cook every single day
>laundry every single day
maybe you just dont want to play anon
By not doing groceries when everyone else is doing them of course. I do mine 1-2 a week usually at around 7-9pm. Takes no time at all cause I can just rush through. I also work from home though, so I can do some chores while on company time. But even then, it's not like laundry takes that long.
>Change clothes, clean up the dishes a bit for 30 minutes
Changing clothes should take like a minute and I refuse to believe you need 30 for a few dishes if you do it every day. Or just get a fricking dishwasher.
>Dinner is finished around 20:00 and we eat and chat for an hour about our day together at the dining table with some wine
That's 1 hour of gaming time (potentially together) right there.
But seriously, cooking takes so much time off of your day, having a cafetaria at work is great just for that. Dinner is then just a sandwich and I have almost 5 hours of freetime after work. Literally skill issue.
>>Kiss girlfriend goodbye as we both leave for our job
>My life is essentially just over
>Weekends are usually me and her hanging out with friends separately from each other or going shopping for new clothes or work on things that need to be fixed around the house.
You got a pretty decent life, as far as Ganker is concern tbh. You got a nice job and a gf. Don't sell yourself short. Still not having kids is a big issue and even with me being 23 I can tell I need to pump kids.
Is your gf the one capable of being a mother to your kids? If so you should marry her and get some kids
>>Go grocery shopping which takes about an hour as everyone and their dog decides to do the same thing at the same time
moronic as frick, do grocery shopping in the weekends.
jesus dude set some boundaries. Tell your gf that every Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever the frick that you're gonna be gaming and don't bother me. Better yet, get her to do the groceries, cook, suck your dick, w/e on that day so you can focus on you. Maybe in return you gift her a spa day every other weekend or something. Tit for tat and all that
another stupid thread where some normalgay complains about his shitty job, gf/wife, 5 kids he didn't plan for and were "accidents", and his depression and many other mental issues. Frick off you stupid bastard. I studied CS hard in uni and now I work 2-3h a day and I get to do whatever the frick I want. I don't want to hear you complain, you don't exist, you don't matter, and you're a fricking obnoxious stupid little bastard pussy that wants everyone to be depressed or care about his depression.
YOUR LIFE IS SHIT BECAUSE YOU ARE SHIT AND moronic.
Damn homie pipe down no need to act so insecure
Stop polluting our board with your depressed, stupid existence. You deserve being insulted you b***h breasts troony.
Listen man we all have our problems but this isn't a psychology/therapy board. People like you frick up this board. Maybe not exactly like you but insufferable normalgays who come to moan and/or attack people here. Try /adv/ or preddit but IMO if you talk to a normalgay (therapist or not) he'll only pretend to care about you which is worse than what I'm doing rn.
I'll give you some advice though:
>gf
break up, you clearly want to cheat with that flirty colleague so it doesn't even matter
>commute
wfh like I do
if you break up with your gf and stop talking to your colleagues you'll have more time to network and get a better job
>movies, sex, goyslop
not necessary, drop all that
stare at a wall, it's better than frying your brain with sex and shitty movies
>I studied CS hard in uni and now I work 2-3h a day
I'm clearly an engineer but my life is this
You are still here my friend?I have a specfic question abour your studied cs
>he has a full time job
that's your mistake, try to find alternatives like living with parents to save money and part time job, renting, working from home, crypto gambling or scamming people online. Unironically
This is my schedule. Find a better job
"Free time"
Is commute, chores, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, eating, showering truly "free time"?
I don't have commute, the rest of that list is done by my wife (except eating) and showering takes like 5 min jeez
Your boss gets the best time in your day, and you get the sloppy seconds when you're tired. Good job, moron.
In those "Work" hours I've jerked off, gone to the gym, do errands around town and other random stuff that needs to get done. My boss knows and doesn't care, he's a good guy
Do this instead: Sleep right after you finish "work". You wake up, you have your time. Your boss gets sloppy seconds where you're half asleep. That's what I do
The frick, are you literally me anon?
This is whats keeping me from changing jobs
>currently work 8/9-3/4
>other jobs will have you work 8-5
I just dont want that
Im missing out on job opportunities but im giving that up for an easier life
>arrive at work this morning
>work for 15 minutes
>get asked if i'll volunteer to go home early because of budget
haha have fun at work anons. i'll be enjoying my 3 day weekend.
lmao at useless lazy fricks ITT
My routine:
4:00: wake up
ice bath, go for a run
play TF2
gym
high protein breakfast
read email, work on business
5:00 go to bed
Just win the lottery??? Easy as
and that's why i'm a neet who leeches off his parents
best part is they aren't even rich just well off but I can literally just live off of my inheritance if they die
you shouldn't be leeching off your parents anon, at least try to
>pretend
to be moronic and get on disabilitybux or something
>stop procrastinating and begin work
>high anxiety
>guts start aching
>immediately have to go to the bathroom
Is anyone else like this? I've failed exams because of this. My intestines work at 500% when I'm anxious.
it's a normal response moron
youre supposed to shit yourself and run away from the bear in the woods
how do I stop being anxious about working
I work from home, I have very low responsabilises but I keep being anxious all the time
It makes me procrastinate way too much
I'm also addicted to Ganker, I spend way too much time here
Sorry, I forgot to type a response. You need to go to a therapist and find your own answer because it could be a thousand different things. I can't give you advice because it's gonna be some generic stupid shit like "go work out" or "get laid". Find out what worked on other people and try it out see what sticks
Unironically a little weed an hour or so prior (don't moke it that's bad for your health, cook it)
Don't take too much or being productive will be a challenge
Also, realize Ganker only has shit discussion and is a huge waste of your time, you can easily block the website directly in your router if you have no self-control
>Also, realize Ganker only has shit discussion and is a huge waste of your time, you can easily block the website directly in your router if you have no self-control
I know this but I'm too deeply addicted and it's my only way to cope with the lack of socialization (aside from occasionally watching streamers which is even worse)
I might give weed a try
drink
you work too much
you should only be working 6 hours a day MAXIMUM
but you have so many stupid expenses that force you to take that extra time, sell your car stop paying insurance, find a job thats close enough to walk
suddenly you have some meditative time to listen to music, watch a youtube video, shitpost, etc on the way to and from work
suddenly this money siphon that requires maintenance, overpriced fuel, and the idiots tax is gone and you can spend that money on rent/food not only making up for the 2 hours you lost at work but also increasing your personal funds since that shit is so expensive
hell if youre too tired on the trip back a single trip uber daily is cheaper than owning a car
If you're working all day and being told drag queens are coming for your kids you're never going to look at the actual problem, it's by design.
you people sleep too much
Shlomo's solution: sleep deprivation. Thanks for "caring" about us, Moishe.
If you sleep less than 6 hours you're killing yourself. For me, less than 7.5 a night and I'm a zombie. Which requires an 8-hour period on the clock, same as OP and most people here.
I'm NOT going to sacrifice my health, mood and ability to focus and think. Would rather sacrifice money.
i didn't say less than 6 hours, but all of these charts are 8-9
and then there are people saying they sleep 11-12 hours on weekends. too much sleep can be bad for you too.
I don't want to die by 50 from cancer like most of my perma-sleep deprived engineer colleagues
I slept 10 hours last night and feel like I'm floating on air. Don't neglect your sleep anon
I work a job that's 2 days on and 2 days off, 12hrs shifts. My job is to sit in an office amd wait for something to break and then go fix it. Most shifts, nothing breaks and when they do, most are quick fixes.
I bring a gaming laptop to work and play shit like Crusader Kings or Total War games and get paid $46hr (plus tip on Sundays) for it.
What is your job and how do I into it?
Electrical Troubleshooter for an industrial plant. A union one to be specific. Electrical laws are also very tight where I live so it's a sought after trade. Union makes it so I am only ever doing Electrical related work and can't be asked to do something that Mechanical would do.
Keep in mind, I spent 5 years being a bottom of the totem pole b***h as an apprentice and another 5 working my ass off for not great pay doing contractor shit before I got this gig.
Congrats on being a leech who still contributes more to society than landlords, CEOs and shareholders
I'd rather work from home but a "job" like yours would be my second choice
>uses "leech" unironically
frick off normalgay

Frick off tourist
They are but I don't care whether I am or not. It's irrelevant. I don't even care if they are or not tbh, frick that normalgay pear clutching bullshit. GASP!!!!!!!!!! HE LAUNDERED MONEY!!! HE IS LE BAD MAN. C'mon lmao who cares. Boring.
it's because of people like you repair services hold things for a night even when fixes are miniscule and take seconds
>people like you
I have never once used a repair service
The voices in your head aren't an argument
Frick off bootlicking tourist
You are a slave morality maggot. Knee-cheese talked about it in his books. You see, you envy the rich for being rich and powerful, so you cope with it like a b***h ass maggot pussy by crying about how immoral and EEEEEEWILLLLLLL it is. Weevil weeeevil! KYS troony.
>it's a moron who can't see analogies
subhuman
this place is full of actual fricking stupid, poor people. Like, <130 IQ.
i am NOT stupid i am above average t. 110 iq (estimated)
Ad hominems aren't arguments either, sorry tourist
stop crapping yourself with tiny little turds in your tard diaper and shut the frick up. HURRR
Sorry tourist but as we've previously established, the voices in your head aren't an argument
Everyone rich works less than you do while costing a lot more money than you do (to everyone else including the poor, not just to their boss) so no need to feel guilty or anything, enjoy the perfect job
Maybe reading from time to time would feel more productive than playing the same games over and over tho, perhaps you'd feel less like you're wasting time alone if you're immersed in a good book
you have a tiny butt and a tiny brain and tiny little stinky turds come out at both ends and it's TRAGIC
imagine saying that reading shitty books for entertainment helps you with anything LMAO keep coping you pseud predditor
tell us about your obsession with Michael Crichton
Sorry tourist but as we've previously established, the voices in your head aren't an argument
I have no idea who Michael Crichton is but it's obvious you're an actual schizo
I'm deeply concerned for you, friends. You are being delusional, cringe, gay and stupid...
You're actually schizophrenic.
You used to be ok 2 posts ago, now you're having an episode. Again.
Who hurt you?
Honestly, I really don't see it as being a leech. When a piece of equipment goes down where I work, it could cost the company tens of thousands an hour in lost profits. They realized it was cheaper to keep someone staffed to fix things immediately when it breaks than it would be trying to call up a repairman at 3am on a Sunday to hopefully drive in from an hour or more away.
Fair enough
You're still mostly paid to do nothing, but it's from the pocket of someone who likely does 100% nothing while leeching off lots of people's work so it's based
>paid to do nothing
Yeah, it's crazy to think about. The downside is it does frick a little with your mental health where spending so much time alone, doing nothing but getting rewarded gives you something like imposter syndrome. But then I reminded myself that I worked a lot harder for a lot less and struggled to pay to live so I have no excuse to complain about this job.
keep coping, youre no lone wolf, you're a homosexual
um sweaty you have to be useful to us

>it's a cushy office job where I don't have to do anything
Well. I was always told this was the endgame. Now I'm not really sure where to go from here. The prospect of doing this for another 40 years definitely doesn't seem very appealing. At the same time I don't think I'm good enough for something more interesting. Not into that whole "family" thing either. Don't even really want a GF. Most people annoy me.
I assume most people in my position hit a similar wall sometime 25-30 and feel a similar intense demotivation.
Maybe I'll do this another few months and do something drastic, like move cross country or some shit.
With a couple grand, you can go anywhere you want.
>I assume most people in my position hit a similar wall sometime 25-30 and feel a similar intense demotivation.
Kek literally me and same position. Comfy job, worked it past 2 years, suddenly realise fricking hell if 2 years passed this quickly I'll be 50 doing the same shit forever.
But then they offered me a higher position out of nowhere so now I feel like I have to stay.
I'll give it a year and see how I feel, but stagnancy is akin to suicide to me.
I think the worst part about the "comfy office job" thing is that I find it very difficult to justify quitting to myself because everyone's just genuinely kinda nice(if difficult to relate to because they're all just boomers talking about football and shit) and the work itself isn't taxing at all(in fact, the only one stressing me is myself because I try too hard).
The only excuse I could think of is that I earn below average, but I'm pocketing like a third of my wage every month already and have no expenses, so it's literally only a pride thing, which seems really shitty, pointless and reckless to quit over.
I wouldn’t overthink things, anon. There is no “endgame” and you don’t need to justify your decisions to anyone. Your parents will (probably) love you regardless, so just take things as they come. At the same time, don’t assume you’ll feel tomorrow like you do today. Life loves to turn things upside down once people feel they’ve figured it out. I was in a similar position to yours, but after about a decade ended up really enjoying my work. And tomorrow, maybe I will discover I hate it again
Eh I don't know, it just seems like a mistake to stagnate here is all. Haphazardly doing something else seems like a mistake too, though.
I don't care that much about what others think but I can't help but feel like no matter what I do, I'm going to end up regretting it later.
Maybe my real problem is that I can't sit still.
Hm...
I think not being able to sit still is fine. Your issue is thinking in terms of “mistake”s and “regret”s. Reality doesn’t have ideals, and none of us can tell the future anyway. Do it, or don’t. Or just keep worrying about it. That’s actually fine as well, and I mean that sincerely
It's just kinda easy to slip into this negative thinking I guess. People these days constantly talk a lot about not "wasting" your life, so I suppose it is reasonable to develop a fear of that. Do school or wasted, get job or wasted, find love or wasted, do something you think is fun or wasted, but don't do it too much or wasted. Waste this, waste that.
By any conventionally reasonable measures I made it, and it still feels like a waste. What a stupid game.
Most of such talk from people is rationalizing their own situation. (Yeah, I realize the irony of me writing this.) There is no point that anyone's "made it". You can either want more, or you can be fine with whatever you have. I wouldn't call the latter a waste, but some people would
Find a hobby, live free, then die
literally same position, except my parents were extremely successful in their careers (dad was a professional athlete, mom was a realtor). For some reason the cushy office (now WFH) job where I don't have to do anything makes me feel like I'm stagnating, even though I'm making really good money. It's a strange feel
the human condition, and the condition of any organic object, is necessarily burdened by the feeling of stagnating. otherwise you would just stop conscripting resources effectively and die.
Thus, you will never be satisfied, you'll always want more. The only way to overcome it is to use your prefrontal cortex to override these natural impulses of dissatisfaction, or execute behaviors that trick it into going away
stupid moronic american with fake problems
sounds like you need diabeetus
oh for sure, you're not wrong. Totally acknowledge these are firmly first-world problems. Everyone struggles a bit differently anon, even if they don't compare to starving kids in Africa. Try having a little empathy, ok?
all I'm saying is that if you went on a meditation refuge zen buddhist meme thingy you'd figure out your problems and fix them. Other people can't do shit about that no matter how hard they tried
unironically agree, my brother just did something like that and he's been saying his mental blocks are gone and he's firmly set in his purpose, whatever the frick that means. Don't really feel like going on vision quest innawoods to get to that point though
it's just a way to force you to really deal with your issues instead of distracting yourself, worrying, etc. so it's not about religion. Once you see them they just disappear instantly. But facing them is really difficult and most people like to cope by distracting themselves through better feefees but then the bad feefees return because they're a different problem.
You did everything by the book and got everything you ever worked for and were even lucky enough to enjoy the process. You have nothing to complain about. Being successful is better than being a failure.
Close enough, but I just go with the flow while sometimes trying new things. A gf would certainly be nice, but it's not like I can really force it.
But doing the same thing for 40 years is ridiculous either way. You don't really have to stick to it. My former boss just quit the place after 15 years there cause she didn't feel like doing it anymore. There's literally no reason to stick to one job forever and the IT field has different parts you can delve into too. Software developing is something entirely different from sysadmin or security stuff. So you can always try new stuff that you might like or catch your interest if you really wanna.
>move back in with parents after 5 years of working elsewhere for new job close to home

This. Living by yourself is a meme only boomers got to really enjoy.

they should just die tbh
>lmao there's no unbiased way to "inform yourself about current events". Ironically, the people who do this are the ones easy to control.
That's true if you only watch the same shitty TV news channel 24/7 and take everything at face value
but if you inform yourself from a variety of sources and practice common sense you're a lot better off than staying ignorant

but i didnt follow up on it
currently cutting but i doubt that changes
dudes, take it from someone who was apprehensive but ended up getting a sleep study and CPAP machine, FRICKING DO IT. IT'LL CHANGE YOUR GODDAMN LIFE. Literally the first night after using my CPAP I went from skeptical to an instant convert. I'd go door to door like a fricking mormon preaching the godsend that are CPAP machines.

ill get fired on the first day because i dropped my spaghetti and ran away and shat myself because some stranger spoke to me
you need to start to lift anon
you're not helping fight the stereotype that only insecure b***hes go lift
You're beyond moronic
Sorry I upset you, normalgay. But it's about time someone criticized your moronic behavior. You lack critical thinking and someone else needs to do it for you instead
Kek'd you're so beyond moronic it's funny
>pussies should lift
>big muscle somehow turns a pussy into a man
>refuses to elaborate and leaves
>has TP hanging out of his pants like the walmart sharters in shart compilation videos
it's not necessarily about the muscle. being able to see tangible benefits by putting in consistent, hard work is a reliable way for most people to increase their self confidence, which pants-shitter autist anon lacks. lifting is just the easiest and most common way to do this and also comes with improved body image, but you can do that with any other hobby that involves actually doing shit.
the gym is full of gym rats that have zero self control, proving that physical discipline has little to do with mental discipline, which mental health issues usually stem from (unless they're severe).
Could you make it more obvious you have never been to a gym
>broo u dont even lift
Could you make it more obvious that you are an insecure little b***h breasts boy? This is what I'm telling you homosexual. If I can tell then everyone else can tell IRL and you're a walking caricature.
how fricking fat are you hahahah
>projecting and making things up is his only way to cope
Sounds like schizophrenia to me.
fricking landwhale?? oh god that explains literally everything lmaooooooo
And now you're talking to yourself. This is why I told you you need more than lifting to deal with your issues, Petunia.
not sure where you get that impression. consider that lifting requires someone to actively go out and spend an hour or more of their time being active and dealing with soreness, diet, etc. afterwards.
the most avid gym rats i've met have their entire fricking life revolves around lifting - their daily schedule, their meal prep, their sleep schedule, etc. while also working/doing other hobbies. if that doesn't take mental discipline i don't know what does.
>the most avid gym rats i've met have their entire fricking life revolves around lifting - their daily schedule, their meal prep, their sleep schedule, etc. while also working/doing other hobbies. if that doesn't take mental discipline i don't know what does.
Replace "gym" with "heroin" and watch how your argument crumbles into dust, because it's a bad argument. Maintaining an activity for a long amount of time doesn't necessarily lead to discipline, plus exercising feels good and even DOMS is a type of pain that feels good because we're animals that are good at endurance and sustained effort.
Discipline is mental and physical and they're not that tightly related. Tell a gym rat to read a difficult book and you'll see what I mean, they'll keep getting distracted and you'll soon realize they have no discipline in many ways, mainly mental.
Pretty much this. One guy in my department apparently runs 6 times a week for 2-3 hours each time for a total of like 125km a week. It does sound commendable and probably isn't too bad, but holy shit it must just be a habit at that point and it sounds like he doesn't really have many hobbies besides just that. At least there could be worse, but a sports addiction is still an addiction.
who knows, he could just genuinely like running. There were a few psychos at my high school who were like that
He's really good at running and he's built a habit mainly in running and less so in discipline in general. Give him some boring ass book that he knows would be good to read but "doesn't feel like" reading an you'll see he'll procrastinate, delay and maybe never finish it or hate it. If this discipline meme were real then gym rats would be all stereotypical zen buddhist monks, walking memes of peace, tranquility and wisdom, never giving a frick about anything that doesn't matter lol
Gym rats substitute structure from discipline with structure from exercising. Still better than nothing and make them more stable in general.
Yes exactly. It's better than nothing I'll grant you that especially if you can't even get out of your bed in the morning
maybe i got a bit off track but your heroin analogy makes no sense. heroin is instant gratification, lifting is delayed gratification. you're not going to see any effect immediately, but yes - knowing that feeling pain is a sign that you're improving should make you feel good. the main difference is that when putting in work towards your hobby, in this case, lifting, gratification comes in slow but consistently while activities such as drug use or cooming comes in spikes of intense short-term euphoria.
you're implying that habits don't really mean anything, but you're not seeing the discipline it takes to start, maintain, and restart a habit. but regardless the point is that you put in the effort because you enjoy doing it and you want to get better at it. so yes if you place the brothers karamazov in front of a gym rat odds are they're not going to like it, but that doesn't discredit the effort they put into lifting.
lastly i don't know what specifically you have against lifting but replace it with something like art/music/woodworking/programming/whatever if you're still seething over gym rats.
>maybe i got a bit off track but your heroin analogy makes no sense. heroin is instant gratification, lifting is delayed gratification. you're not going to see any effect immediately, but yes - knowing that feeling pain is a sign that you're improving should make you feel good. the main difference is that when putting in work towards your hobby, in this case, lifting, gratification comes in slow but consistently while activities such as drug use or cooming comes in spikes of intense short-term euphoria.

I also assume you do cardio if you go to the gym.
>Exercise increases the levels of endocannabinoids in the bloodstream, Linden explains. Unlike endorphins, endocannabinoids can move easily through the cellular barrier separating the bloodstream from the brain, where these mood-improving neuromodulators promote short-term psychoactive effects such as reduced anxiety and feelings of calm.
>you're implying that habits don't really mean anything, but you're not seeing the discipline it takes to start, maintain, and restart a habit. but regardless the point is that you put in the effort because you enjoy doing it and you want to get better at it. so yes if you place the brothers karamazov in front of a gym rat odds are they're not going to like it,
discipline is required to mostly do the things you DON'T like otherwise you'd do that thing regardless because it came naturally to you
>but that doesn't discredit the effort they put into lifting.
it does, because you're talking about discipline in general and not just "how well you can maintain the habit of lifting/running/exercise"
post body
No lifting is good because if you're socially anxious/depressed, lifting is a good way to be energized and have pumping body. When I bike I feel such immense peace, that everything seems sharper and clearer. When I stop biking for a bit, I get real depressed. Same with lifting.
see:
but unironically just go out more and more and you'll get used to normies
My job fixed my agoraphobia. I'm now a social butterfly.
I know this reads like a shitpost but it legitimately isn't.
same to a certain extent. I'm really introverted, but my job is basically talking to people all day. I get my fill of human interaction during the work day, so once I close my laptop for the day I don't want to see or talk to another person for the rest of the day
>be a guy who can talk the talk, and make people laugh
>can't get a girl cause I have zero experience in it
You know in games, where you gotta level up to beat the next boss? It's like I never grinned my get-girl stat. I can make a girl laugh, I can make guys laugh, I can make teachers laugh, I can be a thoughtful listener, I can do eye contact. But I only started flirting with girls in 23 and now I realize I'm fricked outta luck
Why bad / outta luck?
I have genuinely no idea how to go from talking to a girl to dating a girl. See, I learn by fricking up. You give me a basketball and a hoop, and told me to shoot 3 pointers: I go shoot a thousand misses before I score 1, and then it would 500 throws to score 1, and then 250, then 125, etc etc. I learn by correcting what I did wrong.
With girls, well, I haven't been trying as much right. So if you learn from mistakes, and you only have what, 5 chances to get it right, you end up like me misses all his shots. And now that college is done, it's gonna be much harder to pick up a chick, especially since I never did it before. I don't have any fall back experience. I can't go "OK she feels A, I should do X so we can move on to B", instead it's all improv.
OK I'm over thinking this. Thank you
>First off you need to get platonic female friends
SHIT lol. I don't got much female friends. Cause I don't like talking to girls in a friendly way. Honestly I don't like talking to much people lol,
>Join hobby groups like community lifting sessions even if it is awkward at first. These people are also looking for people to do this with and thus eager to connect just like you. They tend to be 50/50 gender split or even more female oriented because women are more outgoing than men so you usually have a shot here as well.
I'll try it then! Got nothing to lose
Most people are like that, unless they do something. If they have a worthwhile hobby, from trains, carpenter, drawing, or whatever, I can befriend them. I just hate pure consumers. Still mad that the one other LMMS user I found was a minecraft chick, who suggested we made a school shooter game once. Never have I crushed harder on a girl before
>Most people are like that, unless they do something. If they have a worthwhile hobby, from trains, carpenter, drawing, or whatever, I can befriend them.
I do that too otherwise there's no point. If some normy telling you "there there" fixes your feefees then you're a needy, moronic child.

I mean, we know your genes are shit but man, you're literally shooting out turds out of your peanus weanus, clogging the shower drain?
you unironically dont know that showerwanks clog the drain do you
I find it amusing how turd worlders with shitty plumbing come here to tell us about how their drains get clogged with liquid. You are literal turd worlders and tiny turds come outta your dicks. Tiny penises I should mention, very tiny, the tiniest and the most hilarious and pathetic.
>the schizo ACTUALLY thinks cum is perfectly liquid like water
Get yourself checked if you can come down to our reality long enough to see a doctor.
Calm down, turd worlder. How much is your net worth, maggot?
Your cum flows exactly like water. It's pretty clear you're the third worlder. That's shit right out of africa, schizo.
cum gets diluted with the water, moron
they're dehydrated turd worlders man, when they cum they shoot kidney stones out of their tiny turd world penises
>cum gets diluted with the water, moron
he does not know
you unironically do not know KEK
you have a medical issue turd worlder, it's called dehydration and it's because you're a stupid little african knee growe. MUMU ODUN THUNDERSTRIKE YOUR ENTIRE VILLAGE
>it's a hillbilly american trying to tell the world his cum dilutes in water
FRICKING KEK MY FRICKING SIDES
>dehydrated Black person/mexican/asiatic mystery meat tries to tell strangers that everyone's cum is made up of kidney stones that clog the drain
Sorry tourist but as we've previously established, the voices in your head aren't an argument
I can't believe how hard I triggered you but I forgot I even talked to you lmao you're THAT irrelevant.
You ran away from the argument, so I won. Concession accepted. I can now close the tab and be glad I'm not a schizo with some african disease like you.
Who the frick are you? You're not my grandson.
confirmed with a Harvard Medical School professor and a Baylor College of Medicine professor that semen is never really thick enough to clog a drain and will become runnier after a short time.
you must have like hentai level cums if your shit clogs the drain, chief.
they're dehydrated turd worlders that cum kidney stones out of their tiny penises, don't bother educating them. Their schools are shit and they got no intellectual potential nor do they have the capacity we white men have
>turd worlders
NOOO NOT DEM TURD WORDARS NOOOO DEM TURD DURDERS TOOKORJABS
NOOO NOOOOOOOOOO kek you are so fricking funny dude never change hahahaha
Yeah alright buddy, but at least my ejacula isn't comprised of kidney stones.
>ejacula
you just KEK you just did not write that word anon fricking K E K
>he thinks cum can't stick hair together
mommy knows you cum down the drain, you just can't see the consequences of your actions because she cleans it before you can see the problem
>dehydrated turd worlders earnier $1 a week who shoot kidney stones out of their dicks when they cum to orangutan porn
Frick off. This isn't a turd worldian basket weaving forum.
Sorry tourist but as we've previously established, the voices in your head aren't an argument
Sorry turd worlder, but you make $1 a month and you have a small, brown penis
Sorry tourist but as we've previously established, the voices in your head aren't an argument
It's hilarious that you unironically think that
Hey schizo, cum mixes with hair in the drain and clogs it, cum isn't completely liquid
You'd know that if you lived in reality
Anon? Your work?
>work 9-17
hahahhah if only. You don't have mandatory 1 hour break every day so you only can leave at 18:00?
How can anyone enjoy work
Is it a lack of discernment
I don't get satisfaction from getting shit done and i couldn't give less of a damn how good the company is doing
they have a normalgay instinct, you don't. How come only homosexuals and women like sucking wiener? They just DO.
Check out this loser, live specimen in the wild:
i really dont get it either
>bro just do things you dont wanna do are you satisfied with life yet? feeling fulfilled?
i will not do those things thank you very much
Lack of personality. They don't have their own goals or motivations, but they can be paid to adopt someone else's and that makes them happy because it gives them meaning. Either that or work is the only place they socialize. Either way is pretty sad.
Pro-tip you're supposed to do a job you actually enjoy or at least one that you enjoy as much as possible. It makes all the difference.
I work 60 hours a week but I legitimately enjoy my job. I like the people I work with and consider them friends that I hang out with in my free time as well.
I like the sense of camaraderie I have with them and I feel like I do essential work to ensure they are able to do their work and they put in the effort to ensure I can do mine. We have each others back.
I also like my boss and we're bros. Having this feeling of comfort and belonging at your job is very important. Some people just come in, grind behind their desk and then leave at 5. This will make you sad indeed.
Reminder that most of your life will be spend at your job. You will interact with your colleagues more than with your wife and kids let alone friend and family. If anything they are the most important people to like and enjoy hanging out with.
The job should also be challenging but not mentally draining. Hard to do but not overwhelming to get you emotionally satisfied long-term.
You should also coordinate your goals, hopes and dreams with your boss/supervisor so that you can grow within your role.
Be proactive and daring as well. Tell when you don't want to do something or don't enjoy parts of work but also take on new responsibilities when you feel like you can do something new and you think you're good at it.
I get a lot of respect at the office and I enjoy my time there but you only get out of it what you put into it.
>reddit spacing
A lot of people can’t just choose to do this though, either they live above their means, have unfortunate circumstances where the job they like doesn’t pay enough, or they end up having kids when they shouldn’t, etc. in a perfect world I don’t disagree, but I think your average person doesn’t have that luxury and just wants to make ends meet.
Nice normie manifesto you got there
I work as a doctor and if I didn’t match into dermatology residency I would probably kill myself. All I need from work is money that let me live in civilised fashion. If I had to work more than 3 days per week to achieve that for the rest of my life I would rather be a homeless bum. Recognition? Respect? Who the frick cares about that when freedom trumps all. Have fun being neurosurgeon working 140hours per week.
>"find a job you enjoy and you'll never work a day in your life!"
>do that
>now the one thing i enjoyed on this hellish planet feels like work
Don't bother, anon. As someone else who enjoys what I do it's impossible to convince people that they should ever prioritize anything else over money
My job is probably the most enjoyable for me that's also within an hour's commute. I'm friends with almost all my colleagues and occasionally hang out outside work as well. Despite all that, it's still just a job, and it's unhealthy not to have a life, friends and hobbies outside of it.
>You should also coordinate your goals, hopes and dreams with your boss/supervisor so that you can grow within your role.
This is a trap. People say this because they want to capture any additional value they can squeeze out of you. You should have goals, hopes and dreams that are so unrelated to your business that they wouldn't even want to. You should also have hobbies that are valuable (to you) but unprofitable.
it's only satisfying if the work helps/provides you with something outside your work life. Some people are provided with a core social community/friends from work. for others they are developing a skill in a trade which may relate to a personal hobby. The people who get genuine satisfaction from simply seeing a job well done are few and far between but are far more plentiful in the trades than in office environments, at least to my experience. Finding work that actually provides you with one or more of these things can be very difficult but the payoff is worth it when you find a place you can at least not dread going to every day.
Shlomo wants you to be friends with your cow-workers so that you get emotionally invested in the workplace and stay employed there. Also if you like your cow-worker "buddies" you'll work more efficiently with them. Goyim like you don't understand that we (the bosses) see you like silly little stupid ass sheep .
ok, I still sleep at night.
Good goyim, good, good... Now sleep, rest well. You need to work tomorrow. For yours truely.
hey chad can i take tuesday off next week? ive got a doctors appt.

8 hours is optimal sleeping time for adults of all age ranges
7 is pushing it, but acceptable if your job is not straining
6 and below will turn your brain to mush
lmao is this your brain on normalgaygia? every person has different needs for sleep you stupid little dumb frick, not everyone is perfectly normal like you are
fricking moron

I always wonder why do people ritualpost. These threads remind me of church: I know exactly what each thread is gonna go, what each speech is gonna go, the tangents, arguments and even examples
And OP's particularly maddening, since he could just play games instead of making a 300+ post thread, where he knows every post already.
this thread isnt ritualposting it's just a "thinly" veiled real life shit venting thread
it's funny how Ganker has the best threads on the entire website but only when they arent related to video games

You're funny
It's not a matter of running out of energy. Just spent 5 hours riding bike in 30c with sleeping only 5 hours last night and I feel so good. Why? BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A JOB
I hate working. But soon I have to go back. And Work. With current technology you don't need 8 hours to do your job so most of it is just a larp that makes you feel unfulfilled and dead inside. It's like they want you to feel depressed. Like why can't we just normalize shorter workdays. Plenty of white people make like 5k a month and I just wanna know why they need that money. After you have enough to live then time becomes more important than money.
>Plenty of white people make like 5k a month and I just wanna know why they need that money.
Because rent is like 3k a month + groceries + car payments + lifestyle + small savings for retirement and you need 5k to survive.
I'm European.
Me too but I live in a western euro capital (send help)
I hope it's at least not Berlin or London. If so, my condolences and good luck getting out of there.

I'm a simple man anon, I like being in a position where I can just buy whatever game or console piques my interest without having to worry about whether it's gonna break my bank. Finally in a position where I can do that and I'll never go back.
I pretend that it is because I need money to live life. In reality I just enjoy being in a superior position and getting the respect of my colleagues.
I literally go to work just to get this sense of superiority. Yes American Psycho work culture is a reflection of my life.

Feels good to be surrounded by autists just as bad as you
I thought I was surrounded by autists just as bad as me when I was in my late 20s, but then my friends started getting GFs and married and I didn't.
plenty of fish
shame the fish are old and second hand with another mans cum inside it
i tried
online dating apps
friend cricle
parties
no girl strikes my interest
and i literally had relationship with a girl from Ganker for over a year..
Back in the day such cases were solved through arranged marriages. Now i dunno, look for someone in your hobby circle or some lateral hobby circle. Maybe find some other hobby you enjoy and start fishing there.
Or go sigma route, grind for ultrasuccess and marry some 8th gen old money heiress.
dunno well see
Just be born mentally unstable i get £2500 a month to do whatever i want with
You're missing out bro. You're supposed to be stacking shelves rn
i do wonder if my life would be more fulfilling if i were to do something else other than having fun 24/7
People who don't have a job, where do you even get money from? You NEED money to live, don't you?
i'm a moron and the government pays me for it
I live at home. My mommy gives me an allowance to build my credit score while I'm at college.
bros how do I get a Ritalin or adderall prescription?
I've tried neeting and I've tried wageslaving. I want to fricking die in both instances, but while neeting I atleast don't have to spend 8 hours a day doing some bullshit.
You can do something in-between. Part time job that just barely matches your lifestyle monetarily. This way you don't feel like a loser but still have enough free time to enjoy life.
Where to go to pick up chicks after college? So far my best bet is just be a gremlin in the computer lab, where my club goes to.
>after college
it's over
My friend told me to just sign up for classes anyways. I really don't wanna do that (unless they're music classes, wouldn't mind taking piano). But besides just hanging around at the library with younger classmates, I have no idea how the frick to get chicks
It doesn't help that the ONE FRICKING PARTY I went to, I ask my friend "any chicks here single" and he told me off and said they all already have bfs
>My friend told me to just sign up for classes anyways
you have a good friend, that's exactly what you should do. I know it's uncomfortable, but it's really the only way to meet chicks anymore. Unless you want to go to church and hope to find a good God-fearing trad wife
>after college
anon...
Work, Hobbies, Mutual friends. That's it. All other things are memes. Including clubbing, internet dating or other.
>Mutual friends
I hear this but like, how do you work this in? I'm sorry, I promise I'm not baiting cause I geniuelly do not know, but how do you turn a friend into chick? Is it from parties, or should I ask them if they know someone?
>Hobbies
I bike, lift, and make music. Do I just join local music/biker communities around my area and meet people there? Even if I suck at music, and I put on weight cause I'm a moron =(.
I wonder if I can just be a gremlin and just join a class, but not necessarily sign up. Like, get the information on it, the group chat of it, try to organize study sessions, and then meet chicks that way. For the intro to music classes I think I can fake it till I make it there enough to not need to study much. I don't know, I haven't tried it before, we'll see. Cause I don't wanna pay for classes unless a last resort
>I hear this but like, how do you work this in? I'm sorry, I promise I'm not baiting cause I geniuelly do not know, but how do you turn a friend into chick? Is it from parties, or should I ask them if they know someone?
It's usually more asking your friend to hook you up with someone and working from there. If you are already acquainted with each other just chew some fat and just shoot straight - "wanna hang out some time later?" Usually if chick is not autistic she'll either hop on it or set some distance to signal she's not interested.
>I hear this but like, how do you work this in? I'm sorry, I promise I'm not baiting cause I geniuelly do not know, but how do you turn a friend into chick? Is it from parties, or should I ask them if they know someone?
First off you need to get platonic female friends. Seriously women are the best wing men ever and they tend to be cooler friends than male friends weirdly enough, despite what Ganker might claim. Usually women are more social and have a bigger social group and about 70% of the people they know will be other women. This means when they have a social event and you're invited you will be there with majority women. These women know you are "ok" because you've already been vetted by the mutual female friend you both have. All the women there are on ease and easy to approach and have their guard down. Some of them barely speak to men at all so you have the best chances there. This is how most men find their partner BTW, yes even today in 2023.
>I bike, lift, and make music. Do I just join local music/biker communities around my area and meet people there? Even if I suck at music, and I put on weight cause I'm a moron =(.
Join hobby groups like community lifting sessions even if it is awkward at first. These people are also looking for people to do this with and thus eager to connect just like you. They tend to be 50/50 gender split or even more female oriented because women are more outgoing than men so you usually have a shot here as well.
women are emotional parasites that waste your time. If you feel the need for women "friends" then you're moronic.
You sound like someone with no friends at all
>kindergarten insults
100% emotionally stunted, i.e. normaloid
>normal as an insult in 2023
If I had to choose between being normal and being the average Ganker poster, you know what I'd pick.
Ofc it's an insult because look at you man, you're an emotionally stunted pussy who thinks "I'm afraid of loneliness" is some sort of insult. Ok, you're lonely and needy? And what am I supposed to do with this information?
anon, you're already a Ganker user, you know you're hear forever right?
Yeah I don't think other people are the problem in your failed interpersonal relationships anon. Have you ever considered that you're just an butthole and therefor women don't vibe well with you?
Calm down beta gay and keep the mirror talks to yourself.
>First off you need to get platonic female friends
fricking this. Having platonic female friends is great. Given that most people in relationships were referred to their partner from their friends, having a female friend with a big network of chicks can help a great deal. Shows that girl that you're "safe" since you're friends with her friend, and gives you a warm "in".
Plus having a chick that's actually cool to hang out with and not worrying about sexo all the time is comforting for both parties
>have female friends
won't work if you're ugly
I don't even have male friends
just pretend you're gay
this, gaygays stay winning. Or hell, get you some gay or dyke friends of your own
It still works as long as the woman knows you're absolutely 100% not interested in fricking them. They are just more apprehensive about ugly guys because ugly guys tend to be more desperate and therefor pretending to want friendship in the hope it grows to romance.
As long as you are very clear it's just friendship then women don't give a shit about how you look.
the scariest moment of my life was when i did some temp work at some godforsaken factory in my town, and i meet the guys there. single dudes with no children who had worked the same brainless job for 30+ years. i looked at that and realized this is where i was headed.
I did the same shit. Temp work at some sausage factory in a part of the town I didn't even realize existed.
It was all 40 year old eastern european women that didn't speak English. The boss was some cranky insane dude that screamed at the top of his lungs when you didn't work fast enough.
It was mind numbing and that experience is what led to me going back to university. I eventually ended up dropping out of university anyway due to getting hired in the field I was studying for without degree but still.
this is what got me to quit my "safe" low-income job a while back. Saw some dude who had been working there for 20 years and didn't want to be that guy. Liked what I did, liked my coworkers, and it was comfortable. Took the risk and went elsewhere, glad I did in the long-run
>friend working dead end factory job
>does nothing but complain about it everyday
>ask him what he's doing to get out of that job
>refuses to answer and keeps dodging the question
I guess the devil you know is better than the one you dont
some people fall into the trap of starting to rely on the paycheck, but others definitely just fear the unknown and stepping outside of the job they know.
sounds like one of my female friends. She'll constantly complain about her job or coworkers, but when I ask what she's gonna do about it she just shrugs and continues complaining. Your friend might be like her, they don't want someone to suggest solutions to their problems, they just want to vent and be heard.
Kinda gay, but hopefully this at least gives you some context as to why they keep complaining
that's what normalgays do. They're emotionally needy parasites that want you to waste your time listening to them complain about the same thing for the 5283497th time, and every time they finish taking a fat dump on your brain they go on making the same mistake, and then they come back to you and they dump some more trash on your head, and so on. Time wasting emotional vampires. Think of them like children.
Bitching about things is fun sometimes anon
Bitching about shit just to b***h and vent is normal social behavior. This entire thread is us b***hing and venting in a social behavior. Hell most Ganker threads are venting. It's a coping mechanism and is healthy to do. You should do so with your friends as well.
Why would I b***h and moan like a woman? That's a woman thing to do and women do that to take dumps on your emotions and psychological well being, plus they also get to waste your time and they delegate their emotional drama to you.
You legitimately need to interact with more people IRL if this is how you view the world.
You've become too detached and sheltered for your own good. A severe case of permanent online syndrome.
You're a passive aggressive child and you're obnoxious. I guarantee you that everyone in your tiny circle of gay pals hates your guts and they gossip about you as soon as you're out the door.
You don't have any pals to hypothetically gossip behind your back at all. Seriously anon, close down the browser and decide to spend your friday evening outside for once, it'll do you good.
Literal child behavior. Look buddy, I'm not here to babysit you.

You're working at night club or 24/7 sweatshop?
hotel nights person, pay is kinda ass but free food and free gym + discount on taxis if its too rainy to bother walking

What a lot of NEETs here don't understand is that it's expensive to be employed as well. You end up spending money, time and resources simply in the process that is associated with employment.
>Have to go shopping and spend resources into clothes and looking professional
>Have to keep up apparel like watches and a nice car to look respectable
>Have to buy or rent a house in a big city with a lot of employment opportunities
>Have to go to gym to keep in shape
>Buying gifts for colleagues, paying for restaurants when hanging out with colleagues
>Spending time with colleagues in free time to "bond" with them etc
>Spending time networking etc
All of these together I'd guess I spend about 60% of my net income after expenses purely on maintaining these things just to be in an employable position.
This is the real trap that people fall into and there is no real avoiding it. When people ITT ask me "Why do you even need to make $10,000 a month" it's because of this bullshit. I don't get to spend that $10,000 how I want, after taxes, regular expenses and all of this mandatory shit there's barely any money and time left for my actual self.
This doesn't mean the NEET life is superior though. I have an active romantic life and a lot of close friends and no depression. But it does mean I barely game or have time for hobbies.
time with colleagues in free time to "bond" with them etc
lmao why would you do this? I already mentioned this ITT here:
Your psychopathic boss knows you're bonding with your work "buddies" in your free time on your own money and he's laughing his ass off at you
>romantic life and a lot of close friends and no depression.
Those are simply emotional weaknesses that you fail to cope with and you have to become a stereotypical normie to not become suicidal
You're exaggerating normie. That stuff doesn't take that much time/money. You're just bad at managing it.
>wastes over half his income consooming gucci loathers and fancy german cars
>yeah bro it's expensive to be employed
Do city slickers really?
Unless you are doing fancy finance/law/fixer type of shit you can get away with uniqlo and clean used honda, especially if you are not female.
>Falling for the high biz meme
Don't have a dress code, don't have a car, job isn't in a city and I cycle to work when I need to be there. I should go swimming more regularly, sure, but a lot of it is on you.
Then again, I work in the fashion industry, so clothes are practically a non-issue.
Pic related is literally me.
As soon as I stop working out and keeping my mind busy reading or programming I sink like I was made of lead.
Yet ultimately I see no real point on any of those things.
>As soon as I stop working out and keeping my mind busy reading or programming I sink like I was made of lead
yep, it's a constant struggle to keep your head above water when your "normal" is languishing in apathy. Every productive task feels like effort, and you can't really take days off
Working from home chad. Just know that women will never respect you.
been NEETing nonstop for ~15 years ask me anything
you are in your 40's or a failure from the start?
>the gym is full of gym rats
the first time i went to a gym was kinda against my will and the first person i recognised was my school librarian, every day or 2 she was there, i also couldnt understand gyms cuz i was young and you may need to hear this. Gym is pain, sure and not the best exp but remember you do this for leisure, not to be mad. as soon as this truth becomes known to you and you understand it you can start going to the gym.
in fact cuz i was (still am) Ganker gay i just watched fricking league of legends games on my phone while i was running/walking/biking for my cardio. at the end of the day its optional really but the benefits are huge, i wanna get Ganker so i can wear good clothes and have a better immune system( muscles are an autoimmune organ)
the latter, i finished high school and just decided i really dont like working or putting effort into anything except things im autistic about
almost 30
>Gym is pain, sure and not the best exp
People overhate pain and overrate pleasure. Shit like flies swatting your face or even your mouth, or sore legs/arms, are great feelings. They're your body's way of saying "you did good, now it's time to wank off"
yeah i didnt say it wasnt cathartic
is it fat american hour?
wow time to invest in insulin manufacturers

I snuck my daily reps while i shitposted in this thread. Time to have a walk and hit the shower.
I spent 5 hours yesterday playing Assassins Creed 1 on Series X after 8 hours of work.
Once I switched to consoles, my PC work hasn't been affecting my gaming energy
