This hits differently in your thirties
have you ever done manual labor?
>thirties>"hits differently"lmao why this unc ahh deadass tryna talk like us?
>>222883092I’ve actually done construction work too. Almost died in an elevator and froze a toe. The feeling disappeared for a few years. Still, i would much rather go back than to spend 8 hours a day bored in an office chair
>>222883056god i wish to have nice cozy job like him instead of that am in slavic army for year now and i hate every single day
>>222883115im dead crine rn ts nigga fryin me
>>222883056Growing up I always saw my dad do manual labor. He had his own business and on the weekends he forced me to work in it. This made me hate it (because he failed to teach me things, or explain things. It was just "hold x here and be quiet") I told myself "working in IT will be my dream". Constantly connected to the internet, never a dull moment. Boy, was I right. In my teens I did factory work and it bored me to death, 3 diferent factory jobs. 2 weeks felt like 20 years.Now I work from home 4-5 days a week and just send emails every now and then. Work is a joke.

>work in restaurant kitchens for five years>enlist in the military for six years>go to uni, get an engineering degree>land a cushy nice paying designer spot, ac office no rush, modern equipment, wfh when want to, flexible hours, commute is nice, workload is tolerable>bored to death every single day and wish i was still in the military
>>222883056If you just let the world dictate your life for you instead of dictating your own life, sure. The problem with every character in this movie is none of them every truly stopped and asked themselves what they wanted out of their life besides aimless pleasure seeking.
NEETs = Does nothing all day. Refuses to acknowledge the curse of Adam. Gets a comfortable life that Kings could never have. Retarded on file possibly or relies on others to get money or resources to live. Might not be their fault due to mental illness or physical illness. Claims that it’s the same as mad dreamer when it’s not. Can’t acknowledge the evil world and can’t provide for the next generation. Not social. Wagie = Does work all day. Acknowledges the curse but doesn’t understand it. Gets a slave life that Kings laugh at. Not retarded on file but sure is in real life. Needs others to get resources instead of being self dependent and won’t acknowledge this and can’t due to the structure of the world. Needed for survival for self and family. Claims to be the same as a NEET when it’s not. Can acknowledge the evil in the world but refuses to do anything and can’t potentially. Can provide for the next generation and social. The Mad Dreamer = Gets Dream / Wants / Goals / Desires. Acknowledges the Curse of Adam. Gets a life that he wants. Might be retarded or not be either way it doesn’t matter they don’t let the world decide. Possibly their fault or not freewill. Claims to be like the wagie when it’s not. Can provide for the next generations forever. Somewhat social. Pick your ending
>>222883170>blog post>double return and short quippy sentence at the end to sum it all upGo back
Better to be a mad dreamer than a slave wagie or an ant neet. It’s like how dark souls 3 has 3 endings. So does life
King of the hollows I proclaim
The Mad Dreamer grabs the sword of God to kill the beast known as Satan
>>222883136Nta but this is subhuman mentality. Construction won't even help you in the future when your joints are broken and you have no 401k or health insurance. I get the movie made more sense back in the 90s where there was actual far more opportunity before the 2008 crash and when construction was still mostly white people. But some contractor will now just sub contract to another sub contractor with no license who just picks up a bunch of illegal nicaraguans.
>>222883056I'm 32 and never had a job

>>222883170my grandfather was one of the best handymen in the areahe never taught me anything and stopped talking to me when i was and went to university instead of trade school
>>222883170Anons will call you a fag, but my experience was pretty much like your own.>Work at an ice rink as a teenager>Cold for 8 hours a day on weekends, 4 hours after class>Have to pebble the ice, carrying a 50lb backpack full of water and moving my arm back and forth until I lose feeling in it. When people are on the ice, have to clean equipment, the arena, etc>Place is a shithole full of mice, asshole customers, etc>Quit and work in reno>Basically just a gofer, or lift heavy shit, or hold something for unappreciative boomer >Friend offers me tech job at startup>Work from home now for $80/hr supervising/firing jeets
>>222883056Quit last year, I think I'd suck start a shotgun before going back to an office>topped out in 8yrs>majority of coworkers are retards>management hates us>90% of the job is pointless or just sitting around pretending to be busy>never ending DEI faggotry>treated like cogs with no free willIt's basically high school 2.0You hit your 30s and you realize this shit isn't worth coming home to an empty house waiting until it's time to start drinking.
>>222883056The hit is more real than any youve ever had.
office jobs were still somewhat comfy in the 90s when they were mostly white and run by menits the 20/10/20s were it all went to shit mostly due to letting women run shit and pushing for DEI crap
>>222883684It depends on your definition of hard I guess. He said he does like 15 minutes of actual work in a week, the rest is zoning out and doing bureaucratic bullshit. It's about his work not making a difference
>>222883712>the zoomers complaining about how hard work is never thought to put on a jacket when it's cold
>>222883115a better question is why zoomers trying to talk like black people?
Movie should have ended with him just making his own business, and realizing how soul-crushing that is too. Anything more than sitting with your homies in a warm field, fucking chicks and then going out to kill a boar before coming home is hell.
>>222883056does it "hit different" uncis it "giving" something do you "suck dick" senpai
Im 32 and been a NEET for a year now. Before that I slept 5 hours a night for 5 years working in a factory. Destroyed my brain and soul. Gave me erectile dysfunction. I felt numb to reality after 6 months. Started drinking coffee. Saved $80,000 then got laid off and didn't bother getting another job cause I still couldn't afford even a tiny home. Now I am NEET and fucked multiple women since getting laid off. I'm in college with some of my savings to keep my parents off my back. I really don't know what to do now. I went from 15 an hour in 2019 to 25 bucks an hour when I got laid off. And yet I'm still a loser. I realized I need to make 40 bucks an hour to have any kind of future not being a rentoid. So until I can do tht, no point in going back. And that's not gonna happen when CompTIA is dead, Lrn2Code is dead, etc etc I thought about learning mobile car detailing but that just looks like a terrible idea.
>>222883092I don't think you understand why working in an office is especially soul sucking. You're essentially playing pretend with a group of people. Pretending your work matters and needs to be done when you know it's absolute bullshit and if you and everyone around you stopped doing it, it would have absolutely zero impact on the world. Sure being a ditch digger is backbreaking, hard labor, and I've done manual labor for a few years so I know how exhausting it can be, but your work has a concrete beginning, middle, and end. If your job is to install a water heater, you know how it starts and when it ends. Working in an office is absolutely spiritually soul sucking. Your work is, by in large, absolute bullshit that someone else made up to keep everyone occupied to look like we're all doing things that matter, when in reality none of this work matters and if it does, it could be done by fewer people more efficiently. But everyone has to justify their paycheck so we keep making up more and more work to make it look like everyone is a valuable member of a "team" when you could vanish from the universe and nothing would change.I don't know if I'd support universal basic income because I simply don't believe it would work, but to everyone that says "we can't just pay people to do nothing", I'd say "We already do". Large swathes of the "work"force are people doing bullshit makework jobs, deflating the wages of people that do things that matter. A good 65% of people are doing jobs that could not or should not exist. And making very good money doing it.
>>222883882>Now I am NEET>I'm in college Normalfag blogposters and being retarded, is there a more iconic duo?
>>222883901i guess i can understand some of that. i do like that i know exactly what im supposed to do at work and know when the task is finished
>>222883882finish your bachelorsget a tefl/celta certification and teach engrish in SEA
>>222883909Taking 2 community college classes is basically NEETing. Thanks to CLEP exams my associates degree is almost done.
>>222883933The concept of work being so nebulous and bullshit is very new as well. And the fact that everyone knows we're just essentially forced to play pretend forever is just mentally crushing. I think that's one reason why so many corporations and employers have been so opposed to people working from home. The bullshit make-work can be done on a computer anywhere you are, as long as you have internet connection, but when you're not physically present, how can they ensure you're not playing pretend? A lot of these jobs don't require you to continuously work 8 hours straight, fuck I've had jobs where I work from home and maybe have 30 minutes of work a day. But that's exactly why they need to make sure everyone is present, because the work doesn't matter. Pretending the work matters is what matters. We all have to keep up the thin veneer that we are useful and our work justifies our wages, and a large part of that is everyone keeping up the charade. The charade is easier to keep up when everyone is wearing slacks in a high-rise building, not wearing pajamas at home, even if the "work" is being done all the same.
>>222883056Good news! AI is gonna make your "job" useless a few years from now so get ready to grab a shovel
>>222883170My dad was like that too but I just got a job in a different trade instead
>>222883056you need to reframe this as finding a job you can turn your brain off to so you can think about shit you actually care about. I knew even in college i wanted a federal job for the good benefits and shit ton of pto you rack up. got an office job off the rip on a military base that the civilians on factory floor dream about because "no one does any real work up there" and theyre right. been here 7 years now making 6 figs as the lead and have no interest in anything beyond that because the next step up is actually supervisor roles and theres no fucking way im playing daycare for adults. i just do my tasks check in with my people that theyre getting their shit that doesnt really matter done then spend the rest of it listening to audiobooks and planning my next ttrpg session i run for my friends
>Quick call?
>>222883830Even better question.Why do these fags not create their own online communities but instead newfag themselves upon ours.Shit even discord was made out of need of PC voip, trying to make teamspeak m0re economical.Zooms have nothing!
>>222883712>get incredibly lucky landing a bullshit jobs through nepotism>hurr durr

>>222885592Juan Valdez has been separated from his donkey.
>>222885286>it's my boss calling right as I'm fapping
>>222885650kek I've been there too. Another time he called me when I was "running errands" aka having a mid morning beer at the nearest bar
>>222883115haha good one dude
>>222884190>you need to reframe this as finding a job you can turn your brain off to so you can think about shit you actually care aboutThis is pretty much the reality of working for someone. Unless you're running the company it's actually stupid to invest your entire self into your work. Work is just a big game and you have to learn how it's "played" or you're gonna have a bad time. It's sad but true.
>>222883136I did construction for 5 years and now I just watch paint dry or drive the trucks. Some days I don’t even have to get out of my car. It’s boring at times, absolutely, but I do not miss manual labor
>>222885650>>222885677Wait, you guys answer your bosses' calls? I let the fuckers go to voicemail and only call them back when I feel like it (more like within a reasonable time frame).
>>222883727what you gonna do now
>>222885900You are so cool and epic
>>222883712Sounds like you just got really lucky. The only reason I got the job I have now is because I got lucky>dude worked at my last job well into his 80’s>Had a fucking heart attack and died at work>I just happened to call this company the next day and they offered me his spotSince I’ve been here, one other guy has died, and we’ve had nearly 2 more deaths. Morbid, but if that’s what it takes to move up, I don’t care as long as I get mine
>>222885937 I do it mostly out of anxiety.
>>222885286>literally could have been two lines of chat instead
>>222885900>Wait, you guys answer your bosses' calls?Yes. My bosses' calls and emails are the only ones I bother responding because he's the one that can fire me.
>>222886115>"hi, it's about the task you mentioned-">"did you read the email?">...Every fucking time.
>>222883056The whole "bawww my comfy middle class office job is hell" concept is easy to mock if youre outside of it. But if you actually have worked in a place like this you relize what hell can actually be. Working in a cold, boring, fruitless profession in a drab grey office filled with ugly fluorescent lights who coworkers who arent allowed to behave like real people or form any sort of authentic connection due to HR codes of conduct is a brain numbing thing to go through.
You should get one reset in life, one time you can reset back to a point in your life and do it all over again but change the outcome. My life wasn't supposed to be like this and i'm going to spend the rest of it filled with nothing but regret for the time i wasted and thing i didn't experience. FUCK THIS GAY SHIT.
>>222886267if you have time to moan about it to literal strangers on a cartoon image board you have time to do something about it.
>>222885910currently trying my hand running a niche online business. It only makes a couple hundred a month, but it's trending upwards. Got about 8yrs of expenses saved up, so I got time to pivot. I've set myself up to the point where I can survive on part time minimum wage if I had to. plenty of options and stress free livin right now
>>222883882what's gasoune?
This thread shows exactly what is wrong with modern people. We all got psy-opped by reality tv, movies, video games ect. into this ME ME ME mindset where only thing that matters is that you're most special and at the highest social position and that you're feeling most good all of the time. I'm a medical doctor and kekked how nobody has even mentioned "meaningful work" in this thread (like they never do). I admit i had no idea about it myself because modern people simply don't even imagine the concept, i became a doctor because i thought it was the best way i could get reliable money and bitches with my talents and interests. But then i actually started working as one and heard the first genuine "thank you" i had probably ever heard from my patient and i realised how fucking self-centered whole western culture has become. The self-centered hedonistic windmill sucks but people can't even come up with the idea that something else might exist.
>>222886591I would chokeslam my doc if I found out they posted on /tv/
>>222886591how many slut nurses have you banged?
>>222883830uh its been happening since the 30s-26s dude. >yo dawg>in da hizzy fo shnizzy>wazzup>cool>
As an office drone, remote work has saved my life. It's never been better. Thank you covid.
>>222886762Kek you’d be suprised.>>222886778I’m gonna be honest, multiple. Almost all of them were very hot too. Bitches do love money and authority, even if it isn’t the main goal for me anymore.
Work from home made this movie irrelevant
>My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell.
>>222886932>work from home changed the retarded middle-management corpospeak department wars bullshit job crap depicted in the movieYeah, nah. Not having to commute anymore is a great thing, but it didn't make the other, worse, corpo bullshit go away. In fact, if I could exchange wfh for companies being run by sensible people with sensible people in all positions of power, I would gladly do that.
>>222884125AI is just an even worse worse version of indians, only good for codemonkey and callcenter work.
>>222883170Not reading all that. But I'm happy for you, or sorry that happened
>>222883092Robots will take all manual labors.There has been an explosion in robots applications that have come out, the idea being that humans have finally hit a point where they're building the robots that will take manual jobs.
>>222883170Yep, the only people that find pride in anything manual are bonafide goycattle par excellenceThe only fun things in life are art, science and sex in that order, ancient greeks understood this and most of the western world clearly forgot this somewhere along the way
>>222888656Craftsmanship and art are very closely related. Obviously some pretentious internet smartass wouldn't know.
>>222883901This actually is completely irrelevant once you start developing health problems from blue collar work
>>222886591You’d think that, as a doctor, you might be able to string together a FEW coherent sentences. Re-read this drivel and try again. Or don’t, I don’t think you’ve anything to bring to the discussion, being honest.
My office has>A gym on site you can use whenever>Work From Home (as much as you want)>A massage lady>Paid Wellness breaks>100% retirement matching>No one gives a shit if you goof off during downtime as long as your job gets doneI know you guys have some strange opinions about things but office jobs are very different from the 90s.
>>222889001tbf you don't need to be smart to be a doctor, especially not in the 20s
>>222883056I miss the 1990's!!!!!!
>>222888747It literally isnt but youre very clingy to your low iq ideals so I wont bother
>>222889101ok retard
>>222883056>Blunder into enough money to retire at 35>Do absolutely fucking nothing>Have no desire to work even after 3 yearsThis movie's fun now because he's literally me minus the crypto plays
The only thing that keeps your going with these types of jobs is if you have small group of good colleagues but it always inevitable ends. Sooner or later you get some absolute tardo or dei faggot hired or transferred that completely destroys the group dynamic.
>>222886591You will never be a real medical doctor. You will never wear a real stethoscope or look at real charts
>section meeting 2-3 hours>sit on your ass and look at these stupid slides and listen about a bunch of bullshit you don't give a fuck about or have no power to influence or change.Thank god for work from home, I either go and do something else or take nap during this crap. I absolutely detested these meetings in person.
The one thing I truly hate is open offices. I have to go to the office once a week and it is absolutely impossible to do anything that requires any focus because everyone is constantly talking about some bullshit or in a call. If I put on my headphones the manager says I shouldn't isolate myself at the office so lately I just sit there and do nothing.
>>222886969this, falling down, black hole sun etc look like such a joke now>aaaahhhh im living in safe and well off suburbia at the peak of the USA's cultural and economic dominance of the entire planet and can live in complete contentment doing whatever the fuck i could want but this is BORING so i feel so trapped im going insaaaaaane!!
>>222883637All fun until you need to typeT. Got a tread to avoid the covid 15
Most people in their 20s would kill for Peters job in todays world.
