Yes
I look a sick day to play red dead 2 and the game took like 4 hours to install.
I don't work
I don't play new releases.
>wow this whole working thing is horrible
>so my mom should do it
youre a bad person
I help out around the house and do everything that doesn't require earning money.
youre asking your own parents to die in a cage for you
Help her by paying some fricking bills, loser.
Well hey, her generation really wanted women in the workforce.
>working out of fear of guilt/shame
make sure to give them a PS5 for each fight with your wife for not appreciating you enough. american beauty viewing maybe?
What does a playstation fanboy NEET do all day, the PS5 has no games
Being a neet was the worst thing that ever happened to me
you'll miss it if you ever stop being one
Can confirm this is true. And I barely have to do anything at work. Enjoy it while it lasts, gays
Not really, no. No matter how hard NEETs cope, you're still a parasite at the end of the day. You're throwing away months, if not years, of life with nothing to show for it.
What's it matter as long as you're enjoying life either way? Not everybody who works a job will have something substantial to show from it other than taking a paycheck home. If they like taking extra cash home with them in echange for 8 hours of their day 5 days a week, then genuinely good for them. I don't care for that though. Makes no difference to me.
The argument is that by NEETing, those people who were fine taken home x amount now only get x - whatever it takes to keep you alive. If you take any other perspective than "I am the only thing that matters," NEETs make the world worse. If you care about anyone or anything else, including shit like pets, it's better to earn some kind of living, either to ease the burden on those caring for you or to ensure the safety of those relying on you.
terrible attitude.
are you an addict or experience an addict I guess?
I wasn't missing being a NEET when I had a decent job. A job that wasn't too mind-numbing and too long helped me even out my dopamine overloads. Now after my last job of having to slave away non-stop for 12 hours in the wage cage ye, sure, I'm back to unemployment, but that's because such jobs are a peak of the man-made industrial revolution hell and the quintessential "unabomber was right" shit.
I can resonate. Right now I'm working at national research institute as post-doc but once it ends, I won't have other options than to stay and work for minimal wage because that's how much universities and research institutes pays science staff and no company runs R&D anymore (as one openly out it, they "just buy all tech from China"). But when I think that otherwise I would have to learn how to code (from what I noticed - only coders are needed nowadays, somehow and store clerks - everyone else gets minimal wage) or go at corpo and do meaningless "work" for several hours instead of doing something interesting and useful (for everyone but in long run - society won't see nor understand this, not even aware of it), I rather prefer staying in such case.
I won't ever afford having own apartment anymore due to runaway prices and as living with mother, I won't be able to start family anyway so I guess that's fine. Society wants me to die so I will just die, on my own pace, alone, building plastic models, painting miniatures, doing photography, watching anime in free time and most importantly - not hating my job.
store clerks get minimal wage too
basically anyone who isn't some very important guy who can't be replaced is getting shit pay (and codecucks for some reason but that market is hopefully crashing soon)
Not in my country, supermarket clerk gets paid better than PhD in STEM field now.
I'm sorry for you anon. I sometimes wonder what's worse - having low income and count every penny or having good income but hating every minute of your job.
I can just hope you will get better someday.
ok i meant the wages overall, that store clerk gets paid more than a scientist doesn't mean both aren't getting frick all min wage
>I'm sorry for you anon. I sometimes wonder what's worse - having low income and count every penny or having good income but hating every minute of your job.
>I can just hope you will get better someday.
It's all a matter of perspective and priorities. Sometimes you wanna tough it out because a little incovenience pays off with a lot of pleasure. And sometimes you're like who sees no point in having a lot of money if I'll blow my brains out after 3 years of working this shit. Especially since despite being REALLY well paid compared to the people around me, it's still filthy poor third worlder money amounting to a 700 dollarydoos a month full time.
I envy you furiously that you have an option for a job you don't hate. I have an interview tomorrow after which I'm 99% likely to score the position, with fantastic pay and decent benefits, especially compared to what I used to have, but it's the same exact mind-killing customer support hell that drove me to the brink last time, and there is no other option because all those comfy low wage positions literally do not exist in my region and I NEED to help out my parents with money because of how fricked we are financially. I don't know how I'm going to cope 3-4 months from now when I finally break down again, possibly for the last time. There is just no way out, only The Machine and the cog slot for me to fit into.
lay off games and start learning a real job so you don't have to be stuck with working in fricking support
>real job
Such as?
Anything that has as little interaction with plebs as possible and doesn't feature shit pay
Also everything not in fricking support
As vague of an advice as it useless.
because you're supposed to figure out yourself where to run away from support hell for interns and perma losers
sysadmin, codecuck, trader, a billion jobs where you actually produce something like construction work or a chef, the possibilities are endless
>sysadmin, codecuck
One mind-numbing cog in the machine job exchanged for another. Brilliant.
>trader
You mean trades like being an electrician or a plumber or a carpenter? Literally no job in the city. At all. I looked.
>Muh move away
Ukraine. Everything's locked down and if I go beyond 50m of my appartment I'll get LITERALLY kidnapped by glowBlack folk and shipped to the front. This is not a joke.
>a billion jobs where you actually produce something like construction work or a chef, the possibilities are endless
>endless
See above, dork. You're just wrong.
ok you just don't want to do anything, stay in support hell and hate yourself
Stupid privileged western c**t with dogshit advice.
weird projection
It's not a projection, it's an educated guess, because you run your mouth off like life is easy and trivial and you just need to do stuff, and you do it in response to information about circumstances that completely annihilate what nonexistently little advice you did provide. If you're not a westerner who thinks getting money is as easy as mowing a few lawns, then you're just plain stupid.
how so?
It gets old after like 6 months. Especially if it's in a country with no neetbux
You get "depressed", sure
But once you start waging you'll wish for that "depression" back.
I worked a call center job and it drove me into a nervous breakdown. Became a raging alcoholic to the point where i just had to quit last week to get my head on straight and away from that poison
I don't think I've ever heard a single person not suffer some kind of mental scarring from working in a call centre. Not a single one. I would rather go homeless and die in the cold than work in one again.
I didn't have much of an issue with the call center when I was tasked with only calls. When they said we'd have to start processing piece of shit email complaints and live chats AT THE SAME TIME as the calls - that's when I finally broke.
>I worked a call center job and it drove me into a nervous breakdown.
That's understandable if you're a good person.
Me? I hate people and I loved it.
Good for you anon, wish I could be like you. I worked for Verizon Fios tech support and I almost exploded due to the amount of moronic people making calls
if you actually "hate" people all the moronic homosexual Black folk you have to interact with daily will drive you up the wall you fricking poser
This. Surely if you hate people then having to take calls and talk to them, all day literally one after another, would make the job a hundred times worse.
>job doesn't suck
>like the work
>never take off
>management always bugging me to take PTO
Nowhere is better than my house
Tourism is a blight
huh I thought I was the only one like that
last year I just took all my remaining time off in december because I didn't use it through the year. I had basically the whole month off
I've been saving up two weeks to travel to New Zealand but frick me it's like I could spend like 4k on a trip for two weeks and then it be over with nothing to show for it
Or I can spend it on a new hobby that I can use over and over again.
I do not understand the concept of going out and just dropping money on ephemeral things
>like I could spend like 4k on a trip
takes less than half a year to save up for it, what's the problem?
I spend it on other things first
how, without being a true to the word consoomer?
i consoom
I just spent $900 on a Moza R9 Direct Drive bundle with the CV2 wheel and SRP pedals (including clutch and brake accessories).
And also a chest freezer for the $1.77/lb boneless pork loin I got on sale and could not pass that deal up of course I bought 60 pounds of it.
I'm kind of not surprised that someone with your attitude would be getting into sim setups. I don't mean this in a bad way, I don't know how normals spend all their time at work to then spend all their off time traveling to random places.
I do appreciate how Moza are giving Fanatec a good kick in the pants though. Each specific Fanatec wheel either sucks in some specific way that practically forces you to buy another, or is otherwise just super expensive so we need competition, even if I still regard them as a chink ripoff company.
It also would not surprise you that I bought a Bambu 3D printer and a few hundred dollars of filament too making another $1k.
And also a large battery backup power station thing to power my ebike to go onto some trails and power some life conveniences.
I just like re-usable things.
I'd do it to make memories with someone I love.
Since my work doesn't pay out for us being over capped I just take off a few hours every pay period to get home a little early
Its only worth it if its something you really want to do. Most people need a buddy or partner to enjoy traveling to their greatest, lots of people nowadays travel for the sake of it and almost use it to brag
Funny, right now I have 48 days of paid vacation. Granted, year just started but I still pretty much hoard it, ending with 12-15 days left each year. I still think I could do better, however.
Funny how I once "burned" 5 days instead of taking sick leave solely because you are being paid 80% for duration of sick leave. And my greed prevented me for abandoning this 20%.
Damn, I feel that. I miss out on way too much OT if I take a day off, so I only take them if I am going to do something worthwhile. Since I dont play online games or use social media (aside from Ganker) I dont get fomo and none of my coworkers play the weeb shit I do. Also, the last time I did it, I spent 8 hours of it downloading the very broken FFXV on the PS4 Pro. Never again.
In EU employer will force you on vacation after few years without it lol.
What else am I going to use it for? Traveling and hanging out with friends and family? Don't be a fricking idiot, OP.
I get 36 paid days off a year so I don't feel bad taking a day off for a new game here and there
No, I work from home so if a new game releases I will just finish my work early and go play it
Never. Games today suck. I'd rather go to work.
Just took a week to finish off all the shit i'm playing.
Tired of seeing their faces anyway and some impotant shit to do suddenly happened so it worked out anyway.
I'm salaried. I just tell the wagies I'm working remote or have a offsite meeting.
Wait, there's STILL people with jobs on Ganker? Why?
Elon Musk is allowing people to post nazi/consie stuff again on twitter again so why not go there instead?
Never forget anon
You're here forever
That only applies if you're an actual channer, a normie who fled here bc fb/reddit/twitter banned them for being a nazi isn't.
>an actual channer
this is bait
It's the truth. You aren't a wagie, are you?
There's no reason for wagies or sexhavers to be on Ganker.
Both a wagie and a sexhaver.
I come to shitpost.
Farm (You)s and such.
>There's no reason for wagies or sexhavers to be on Ganker.
I'm a full time work from home dad, my wife is a stay at home mom who tends to our one kid. I've almost been on Ganker for 20 years. You are literally here forever
Video games
Can someone post the "i don't care what the c**ts on twitter are doing" pic? I lost it.
I don't want to be a neet anymore but i also really don't wanna be a wagie working shitty jobs
Unironically get a degree. I work QA in a factory and I spend 10+ hours a day (only work half a week) cupping my balls and shitposting, making more money than either of my parents ever have in their lives. This is my first job out of college.
I did, but my bachelors is useless. I dropped out of a masters at the same time as covid and haven't bounced back since.

Im thinking of turning into a woman
>Why am I so sad all the time
It thinks to itself.
Work From Home is exceptionally rare and on the way out as it is
Whenever you see an anon bragging about WFH he's actually a NEET larping
yeah
This b***h is 30+ right?
god I hope so
Nothing is worse than seeing a hot woman and seeing she's younger than 27 and obviously doesn't have her shit together.
100%
No, I don't need to. I have more than enough free time in a day to play vidya.
Only reason I ever take vacations is to do shit that's not vidya.
Take a day off to play new release
Game is harder that my job
Just sleep all day
Nice
>This thread
YOU'RE NOT EVEN A FUNCTIONING HUMAN, YOU'RE LEECHING OFF THE GOVERNMENT
After a decade of factory work I would kill for a seat and a robo arm to do the work. I would leap into that cagie with joyie.
I spend 9 hours of my 12 hour shift being on call and playing video games on my personal gaming laptop that is running Kodachi. Feels fricking good to be an Australian, we do frick all and make the most of our lives, nobody else in the western world does what we do. This has been going on from the age of 17 to 24 and I can easily see myself doing this until 50.
what else would I use my vacation days for?
I haven't taken a day off in 6 years.
Let me guess, you live in US? What country nowadays don't force people to spend their obligatory paid vacation within two years?
I work only half a year. I do my gaming only during winter. I constantly have to catch up to new releases. Added bonus is it keeps me interested in games and I dont have to get them day 1.
>sunday
>NEETs make a thread to show how they totally don't think about people with jobs
You guys are like clingy exgirlfriends, jesus
not normally but I did so for Elden Ring and I will for the Shadow of the Erdtree as well
>snoys takes time off from the wage cage to play vidiya
>realizes he has a nogames5
That's cursed
You can play the same games on PS5, that you can on PC (at least the ones that matter) shut up PC tard, you dont need to justify your 2000$ power station to me .
no you can't, snoygger
I called off for GOW Ragnarok and 1 other game that I can't remember but I haven't called off recently
Lol no I got unlimited sick days so I use those instead, the benefits of working in the public sector in a socialist hellhole
im not gonna pretend tendies aren't braindead bottomfeeders
but how fricking pathetic do you hace to be to be (or pretend to be) a fricking snoytroon in this day and age?
