How the hell do you guys have energy to play games after work?
I collect neetbux.
Just quit your job, it's that simple
>>695182263Easy? I even work a manual labour job. Maybe it's cause I'm still in my 30s, but I still easily pull 50+ hours a week playing vidya.
>>695182459idk, i'm not american. as I understand it you don't really have neetbux over there.
>>695182263I don't try very hard at work
>>695182263i dont. thats why i took the 3 x 12 pill so i get a 4 day weekend.
My wife makes me exercise with her every morning and cooks healthy meals. It helps a lot with the energy levels.
>>695182959You don't have a wife.
>>695182263This isn't your blog, normalfag.
>>695182263Weed and energy drinks
>>695182263I do manual labor 8-5 and 100% it took nearly a year to fully adjustnow, I wake up everyday at 645, even if I go to bed at 3amon a day I have work in the morning I can stay up to 11pm gaming comfortably on a day I worked but do not work the next I can stay up to around 1amif I do not work during the day or the next day I can stay up to around 3am or 4 if the bants are goodt. 35y/oin my 20s I was an alcoholic(I still am) and I wouldn't start gaming until 7pm-3am anyway but mostly just wow with ppl I knewbut lets look at the numbers I get home at 515pm so roughly 6 after meal + shower, stay up to 11pm with 30m before bed = roughly 18hours of vidya M-Thurs and roughly an additional 7.5 on Fridayon sat after breakfast and groceries + reading through the hangover I can start the same from noon instead of 6pm, same on sun but with 11pm bedtimeI have no kids / wife and live alone so all of this is highly achievabletl;dr I've played / beaten more games in 2 years of working than 5 years as a neet
>>695182454whata woman wrote this 100%
>>695182263work?
>>695182263Wait until you have kids. Not a child. Multiple. When they’re little and can’t participate, you’re stuck playing late at night, BUT that’s actually your only time to spend 1-on-1 with your wife. So you won’t be playing games much. It’s still worth it, though.
>>695182263play during workduh
>>695182263I don't play video gameswhen it comes to reading books I can still manage to read 100 pages a night pretty well
>>695182263By being in good shape so you have plenty of energy and quick recovery. Don't be a fat ass, a lanket or slothful in general.
I'm too tired to play games from neeting all day, there really isn't enough time in a day
This feeling didn’t hit me until I got an apartment and a child. Nowadays, I’m lucky to get 1 hour of game time in. I find it best to stick to pick up and play games. I’m messing around with Ghostface in MK1, grinding in Vampire Survivors and starting my thousandth playthrough of Bayonetta. Fitting other hobbies in is definitely a pain.
Shimple. I don't work.
because I just saw some unfortunate retard lose $40,000 today lmaofucking dipshit ignored a massive water leak all week and the entire apartment is fucked.I can vidya in peace knowing my problems are in fact not worse than his

>>695183028ummm okay schizo
>>695184783Sometimes you just can't be bothered to deal with shit. This is why i rent, not my problem, landlord problem
>ah fuck man work has got my ass whipped>the work in question
Sleep eight hours. If it means you can't play video games so be it.It kills your entire day if you don't get enough sleep. I used to only get 5 hours of sleep a night, come home from work then take a four hour nap then wake up at 11 PM unable to go back to sleep then only get 3 more hours of sleep before it's back to wage cage.70% of my gaming comes from vacations. I get 6 weeks off a year, along with 6 days I can tell my boss to fuck off I'm not coming in.Also if you're neet in the current year, you are retarded, brown, or a retarded brown. I would rather work at McDonalds than be retarded or brown.
>>695185332i work in building maintenance admin80% of my coworkers are guys out in the field doing all the heavy lifting shit while i get to sit indoor all day all year being nice and comfydudes are different, i wouldn't last one day outside doing manuel labour while most of the guys from outside would blow their brains out if they had do any kind of office work
>>695185381>Also if you're neet in the current year, you are retarded, brown, or a retarded brown. I would rather work at McDonalds than be retarded or brown.Why? First World countries actually get a good amount of neet bux, unlike America
>>695185158Yes we know you have a Wife(Male)
NEET vermin, please leave the thread as this is for a thread for men who haven't failed in life. but the answer is, is to find a job which you can balance with having good enough pay with enough free time. i dont live in third world countries like america, so this might not apply to you, but i work as a nightshift nurse at a nursing home and get paid pretty well and have plenty of free time. i spend my off day accumulating back energy to then go to the gym and then game as i get back from the gym. works out great for me. i'd recommend something like that for you too, if you can find a job like that.
>>695182263It's dumb to, honestly.I try not to play games except on the weekend because I have a tendency to stay up too late, and if I don't sleep for 8 hours I feel like bullshit.
>>695184783revelling in the misfortune of your fellow man in your apartment complex community is degenerate and pathetic, quite frankly.
>>695182263Wrong, that dog is deceased.
>>695185332https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35lS7gJVTyAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCWADjUA9iISpoiler, asshole: Humans weren't meant to sit in a cube and work indoors at menial cognitive tasks all day, and doing so takes a psychological and physiological toll on your body and mind. It fucks with every major feedback loop in the body, especially dopamine. This leads to issues like depression, sleep disorders, obesity, heart disease, cancer, etc. There's a reason people in these roles get paid more than people walking around construction sites.
>>695185615>nurseNah thanks "bro"
>>695182337How? Genuinely asking. Hate my job currently and I have ADHD, which apparently is now legally a disability. Tell me how to game the system neetbros.
Been working full time 12 hour shifts for a few week now. Was neet from 19 to 34. Still have plenty of time to game surprisingly. When I'm tired I take Ritalin, chain smoke and drink a bucket of coffee.
>>695182263I often don't. So much easier to just sleep for an hour or two in the evening and then go back to bed really late. Unless I'm really invested in a game (rarely happens), in which case I wont have the downtime to feel bored.
>>695186209>neet from 19-34what the actual fuck man. NEETs are baffling to me. what did you do? did you just live with parents or leech money from the government? do you have a life?
>>695184783>>695185139I'm so glad I own my own home and don't have to deal with any of this shit.>still no gf
>>695186315nah, homeless, skate fagging around america.
>>695185554By what metric? Being too retarded to function in civil society? Your government pays you to keep your gross smelly ass away from normal people.
>want to date a girl I know who lives in a different city >have to work hard to make it happen >still make time for vidya Adderall is the solution.
>>695185332>simple stuff is impossible to do>no one knows what the fuck is going on>half of the employees don’t give a shitIt should be easy, but office work can be mind numbing depending on the specifics of the job.
>>695183564Being an alchie sucks, I stopped playing games while drunk because I barely remember my play session.
>>695182263I work from home in a ludicrously cushy job, most of the time I have nothing to do.So I just play vidya while getting paid for it lmao.
>>695186575>get request for something that should be a self evident solution>send email asking what could be the problem>the respose is usually along the lines of, "i dont know, i just did everything as i usually did and now its broken! fix it!">100% of the time somebody fucked with something, plugged something in, unplugged something or swapped something out>explain how and why something doesnt work anymore and give instructions (often times with pictures) on how exactly to fix thing>"i'm not one of you techy guys, you need to come out here and solve the problem, if i could solve this, what are we paying you for?"why are people so fucking incapable
>>695186863based fellow has-life-figured-outer.
>>695182263it's not work that makes me tired. it's thinking about what i need to be doing outside of work.
>>695187089do you have a gf/wife and kids? otherwise there are more than enough hours in the day. i just go to good job, leave work, go to the gym every other day/climbing gym hobby once a week, go home, make dinner and then i have the rest of the day off.
>>695182263Trick my kids into doing my grinding for me, then when I get home I take over to do the actual engaging stuff.
>>695186863What's your job? And how do I get into a good work from home job?
>>695187207no, but i need to study but it feels futile. since i need to study but wont, i dont feel i earn the right to vidya so i sit here on 4chan until i go to bed.if i somehow make it through this, it'll be smooth sailing for the rest of my life.
>>695182263Work?I thought this was about depression.
>>695184783As a plumber I see this pretty much everyday. You'd be suprised how many people don't even know how to shut their water off in case of an emergency.
Protip: Go to sleep immediately soon after work. Then wake up to play. There, you now have energy. Congrats.>t. 72 hrs per work week.
>>69518745972 hours is gnarly. jeez.
>>695182263unironically playing on consoles again. Any time I go to "play" games on PC, I just end up watching retarded youtube videos and shitposting.
>>695183876>Wait until you have kidsplap plap plap
>>695187284I just got lucky in a few key areas.I started at a contact center for a big bank, did this for about 1.5 years. I got noticed because I became very efficient with their systems / software so I was recommended to be a tester for them which came with a pay bump. After a few big projects I got an even bigger pay bump. Over time my company became shittier and shittier at managing projects / allocating resources.Because they're so shit there's massive gaps where I have nothing to do because I have to wait for technical people to do their work and they run into roadblocks due to incoordination all the time that can last for weeks / months.
>>695186592Pace yourself, retard.
>>695182263By playing videogames after work. I worked a shitty labouring job in a warehouse and I still gamed 6~ hours after work.
>>695187874I never thought of banks. I'll have to look into it. Any WFH us good to me right now, I just need to fucking get hired and I'll be set to trying to fix this goddamn life.
>>695187385I learned that last year when a pipe got fucked in my house (my neighbor is a plumber so I got help immediately). You're right though, as a plumbing-normalfag I had no idea that there was essentially a "breaker switch" for water.
>>695187519what a meaningful and interesting reply.
>>695185879>There's a reason people in these roles get paid more than people walking around construction sites.Because they're 100 times more valuable?
Don't fall for the NEET meme. NEET for 6 years and I wanna kill myself everyday.
I resigned 2 months agoGot a new job that's just 4 days a week, $20k less every year but the money isn't worth it anyways
>>695188378>Be NEET>want to kill myself>Be employed>want to kill myself.The only answer is WFH or self employment.
>>695182263i just do. i wake up as late as possible, drag my ass to work where i get paid to be immensely responsible for a company with billions of dollars at imminent hazard if i make any small mistake, drag my ass out to the third mfh i just financed to swing a hammer ripping up particle board for a few hours, go home and play factorio until 4am and do it again the next day.
>>695182263Work? What's that?
>>695182263I get home and instantly go to sleep, wake up at midnight, take a shower and go about my day until work.
>>695182337>>695185987Trump is getting rid of neetbux.
>>695185332Just because a job isn't physically demanding doesn't mean it can't be exhaustingI'm a civil engineer and the hardest part of the job isn't field work like surveying, it's explaining things to the construction workers, because they're all double-digit IQ mouthbreathing morons who can easily misplace a fucking elevator shaft by 10cm despite you marking its exact location on the floor.
>>695188378Why? Don't you have all the time in the world? Go learn a skill or something
>>695188510Oh I see, I wasn't sure if SSI was directly tied into it. That'll make things harder. I'll have to rely on looking for a remote job for now then...
>work>implying
>>695188484I used to do this too. Midnight-daytime is great for a while until you have to do something after work and realize you're ready to go to sleep instead.
>>695188510Most people don't live in America anon
I work and I'm a single dad and I still play vidya 4 hours per night bare minimum after my kid goes to bed on weekdays, and much more on the weekends. I finished 19 games this year so far and started a handful of others this is genuinely a skill issue on your part, op
No one will hire me even though I have a bachelor's degree because I didn't do any internships and no one will hire me for the internships because they want someone who hasn't graduated yet.
>>695182263I don't. I'm sleep maxxing.
>>695188378>NEET for 6 years and I wanna kill myself everyday.Is that because you're poor? I've been NEET since I was a teenager, which means double the time you've spent, and the worst thing about being NEET is lack of money.
>>695188697just lie, serious advice
>>695188378you'd be just as depressed with a jobyou're a NEET because you're a loser, not the other way around, so not being a NEET won't stop you from being a loser.
>>695188628Most people live in China and India and there's no fucking way they get neetbux
>>695182263>stay up until 3am playing vidya>get up at 7am>im 34i dont give a FUCK and i will die alone
>>695188739This. This is how I get decent jobs even with a felony surprisingly i've been lucky with not getting background checks
>>695188378Don't fall for the "don't fall for the neet meme". I spent years being a degenerate neet, and I miss it so goddamn much.
>>695185987Are you a minority? As in, are you anything other than a straight white man?Congrats all you need to do is pass a simple phone interview with a social worker. Be sure to act as retarded as possible, do lots of crying. 90% of social workers that help you get neetbuxs are 300 pound sheboons and they will feel your plight as long as you're not a white man.If you're a straight white male, nothing sort of a physical disability that you didn't cause yourself won't get you neetbux in the current year. Those that do are so mentally retarded they have to live with some sort of relative because they cannot function on their own. Even then they're given easy jobs and free transportation to said job. I'm a supervisor and I have 2 employees out of 31 that have mild autsim in their 30s. They live with their mom and get huge government assistance as long as their sons work at least 20 hours a week. If they were brown, they wouldn't need a job.
>>695182263I wfh so I take a nap during my lunch break
>>695187459I do this. Now i wake when my body wants and i even have some free time in the morning. Fuck nights.
I was going to school for digital media until my school's infamously actively-bad advising department fucked me like it has so many others. I reenrolled today to finish my degree and stop being a NEET, but I think I'm just going to get one of those toilet paper Bachelor's degrees, take a SQL cert course, and go into QA. I have experience there.The digital media degree was to gain industry knowledge to push towards either game QA or a writing job. I have the portfolio, I have self-published work, I even had people that knew people and could put my resume in the stack for me, but I never even got a call back from anyone. Now that I'm throwing out my dreams, why bother spending the next 1.5 years finishing a shitty degree when a Gen Studies bachelor is just as useful and a lot faster.

>>695188582having coached some friends out of neeting, the base problem is that theyre depressed that their lives are meaningless, and believe that its incredibly hard to have a meaningful and productive life. these are all internet friends and i have fixed it every time by vacationing out their way to "see the country" with our fellow online friends but actually just bullying them into doing volunteer work for random "civic good" activities like painting fences or cleaning garbage etc, get them to work out a little bit, try a couple churches, eat a decent non-slop meal. somewhere inbetween we tell them that if they dont change theyre going to die a lonely death with no wife, no kids, no purpose, no meaning, and as they are theyve already committed suicide by inaction. its pretty brutal and honestly mean but i dont want to see good men die deaths of despair. only once did one of our friends shut down on us and block us out of his life, but i think he just needed time since hes back in school for a real job now
>>695188378get a hobby you fucking nigger (no, video games are not a hobby)this retard really spent 6 years just sitting at home doing nothing
>>695187459i would definitely sleep 12 hours and wake up right in time for work again. also i hate the feeling of being up before work. i used to have a job that started 6pm and i would sleep until like 5:50 to minimize the pain.
>>695188697seconding other anons to tell you to lie. i make 156k a year and ive lied on every resume ive ever written egregiously. HRIS systems will shitcan you if you don't, and thats your primary enemy. you just need to be able to verbally defend it in an interview by doing more lying. and all these jobs are probably not really that difficult or require great skill or a wizard, we're just trapped in a bullshit economy.
>>695182263you dontyou just trick yourself that you love vdogaymes but its just an excuse to put you into sleepsleep > gayming
>>695189063why do normies require people to have a hobby?
>>695189393>guy says hes depressed>anon tells him to try getting a hobby or doing something with his time>crab in the bucket appearssad!
>>695189053the base problem is everyone in their life saw them committing slow-motion suicide and no one cared. most importantly, their fathers.
>>695189393because if you do literally nothing all day you end up wanting to kill yourself, like that guy JUST said he does
>>695189025>feel like I'm wasting my lifeProbably because you view life as an NPC, which is most people. If you view life as the accruement of knowledge in order to form your perfect world, then pretty much nothing done during your time here is pointless. If you died tomorrow, your afterlife would be made from every experience you had up until today, and you would still be happy. There's no correct number of experiences to have. If you asked someone>what would make you happyThey'll name stuff they've done before.>I wish I could eat this meal again>I wish I could meet my old friendsand so on. So, it's like, you can't even waste your life. Even people who work all their lives are just passing the time before they get to be happy. Don't like my explanation? It's how I got through life doing nothing. You just need to discover the meaning of life for yourself, and you won't feel like it's a waste of time anymore. Once you've convinced yourself, you'll be fearless. I don't fear death at all, and that's why I'm able to do nothing.
>>695189456>call him a useless retard >this is helpingshouldnt you be out hiking? you know, doing your worthwhile hobby?
>>695187272If you need to trick your own kids into taking care of you then you failed as a parent.
>>695182263Your body adjusts after a while and you stop being stressed out about your job after you learn how little of a shit you have to give to stay employed and then you'll be able to play games
>>695185879because they don't hire crackheads and mexicans on the spot
>>695189393having shit to do is a good way of keeping existential dread out of your headsince there's nothing you can do about your mortality and your inevitable demise, it's better to not think about it too much
>>695189510suicides, especially those of inaction, dont spring from the ground out of magic. this is not a perennial issue among young men, but a modern one chiefly. a spring has a source, the replenishment of its aquifer can be traced. 200 years ago every man was connected intimately with his community, would likely marry a girl hes known all his life, towns were real places. to young men who have only known modernity, community is a meaningless word. towns, villages, society is ephemeral. partly because, when presented to the people, the sensitive introverted young man was never "worth the trouble" to a gluttonous, gynocentric and jewish-masculinity focused people. partly because it's systems and those responsible for him never once stopped to consider his sense of community, and belonging. to build this from nothing in a man is incredibly easy, but to turn his mind to the thoughts of it is incredibly hard. you bring the subject of something he cares for, the people in his life he has forged a "community" with, and have them perform the acts of involvement in his local community. either he likes his community more, or us less. despite our pretension to an archipelago of intellectualism, we are driven chiefly by emotion which is later rationalized, and great meaning is derived out of feeling involved and valued with your physical community.

You have to go there and beg for a job, like it's something everyone wants to do. That happens because even if I don't do it, someone else will. Anyway, you can work if you want.

>>695193346I only work because I need money to live of course. The only actual motivation i feel is because i want to be able to have nice computers and by weeb stuff. Obviously i wouldn't work if not needed. Security seems most conducive to keep it easy, and it's also not forced sitting at a cubicle all day, even if an ideal one would be sitting so i can phone game read draw etc because i can still move around occasionally and not deathstare doing tedious computer tasks for hours. Im really eager to get a lone night security job at some compound or facility or whatever.

Hopefully they can reassure you that you aren't wasting your time. Even if it's just the fact that you have friends, it would be worth continuing. That kind of thing can lead to employment.

>>695182263>work from home>paid by quota, not timeI play before work. I am poor.
Job hop like a rabbit.In between jobs you just play vidya and have no health care.
>>695195428Don't need health care if you don't have shit genes and actually exercise and take proper nutrition. I think I'm gonna get an easy job with light physical/mental and take months or year long vacations every 2 years, jp is getting good enough to want to visit japan

>>695188968If you have QA experience, why not just apply? Sometimes they're not too picking about who does or doesn't have a $30,000 piece of paper.
>>695189217I guess we're all different, but loathe the idea of getting up and heading straight to work. I like to give myself a good 90 minutes (if I don't keep ignoring the alarm), make my coffee, sit in front of the pc and see what's happening on 4chin, make brekkie and then spend the 10 minutes driving in. This was also true when I worked graveyard, working from 11pm until 7am, and I personally loved that lifestyle, it's always so easy for me to sleep in the afternoon. It's just a pain in the arse sometimes if you're not a complete loner with the random family obligation or appointment.
>>695182263Back when I had a 9 to 5 I would hurry home at round 6~7h, go straight to vidya and eat while playing until like 3am, sleep until 8am and do it all over again. Sad existence to be honest. Gladly I became an artist now I work from home and play vidya whenever I want.
feelsgood being a neet
>>695182263I snap out of being tired 2 hours after getting home on office days. Then I can play for hours into the night, about 3 am.It does mean I rack up a lot of sleep debt, but that's what the weekend mornings are for.
>>695185741things going wrong for you because you make bad decisions and are lazy isn't "misfortune", it's your comeuppance.
>>695195882you're jealous lol too tired to play videogames but lots of energy when it comes to seething on the internet, huh
>>695196295It really doesn't unless you have a good amount of drive and are keeping your brain stimulated with different hobbies.But then one wouldn't be neet in the first place if that was the case.
My circadian rhythm is so shot at this point I don't even know how I do it anymore. Yesterday I laid in bed for 20 hours, didn't sleep for 20 hours, but just laid in the bed. When you go work in the evening and come home in the early morning; it's hard to regulate your sleep cycle. I usually stay up till 7AM or 8AM, then sleep till it's time to go to work and do it all over again. It does suck though because like OP, I rarely have energy, or the desire to play a video game. I have things to play, but I'd rather just shitpost and browse the internet for 6-7 hours instead of playing a game. I don't even feel depressed, so I'm not sure how to describe it. I tend to drink an energy drink late into my shift and that gives me a boost, but even when coming home I'll still just do anything else rather than play a video game. It's not so much that I lack the "energy" to play video games, more like I have no desire to play them, which is depressing to think about. Shitposting on 4chan and surfing the internet are more entertaining to me. I might be developing seasonal depression desu, I really hate the holidays. It's a depressing time of year for me personally, and I don't like how the public acts during the holidays. My mother hates her in-laws, we gotta go see them and she's going to bitch about it like she's done for the last 15 years, etc.
>>695182263How many times are you going to make this thread
>>695183997I somewhat envy that. I honestly wish I could read 100 pages a night of a book, it's probably more relaxing/healthy to do that as a hobby than sitting in front of the computer and playing video games for 6-8 hours. I once sat down and made a list of books I wanted to read, and last time I attempted to read in bed I got so sleepy and went straight to sleep. Other anons have told me not to read in bed, but it's really the only place I'd feel comfortable reading.
>>695188510I was still collecting NEETbux under Trump tho
>>695183997then stop coming to /v/ you mentally ill retard
>Planning to do my yearly diet >Realize I'll have to give up junk food and eating like crap which is one of the few things I enjoy and makes me happy >Already don't play video games as much as I use to >Taking junk food out of my life soon as well I won't have very much left to make me happy at this point. I'll have to find new things and replace it, which sucks. Oh sure, I'll get eight hours of sleep, be fully hydrated on water, and eating salads and meat and shit like that, but it won't make me happy. "Oh, but you'll feel so much better when you're skinny and healthy, anon!" Will I? Truly? Compared to shoveling Mcdonalds in my mouth and living how I want? Is that really better? Maybe I'm just too far gone, and my mind can't comprehend a healthy lifestyle. I can see now why addicts go to rehab and have to spend years settling into a sober lifestyle.
>>695188378>be free to do literally anything he wants while getting paid for it>wants to kill himselfNormies are hilarious
>>695187459>got wrestling/french classes after workI should do the off days
>>695193265>having disposable income does wonders to your depressionI disagree. When I was working I barely spent any extra money I had because there was nothing to even spend it on. Hell, it's the same now with my NEETbux. I got thousands of dollars just laying around doing fuck all.>>695197230Remember how crazy they went during the Covid lockdowns? Kek.
>>695197172I find that exercise is a good way to put your mind into gear.Even just a half hour walk once a day can be enough.
>>69519723095% of people who are NEET aren't getting paid at all. Unless you live in Norway or Sweden, getting neetbux is hard.
>>695196272Are you brazilian
>>695185987>ADHD, which apparently is now legally a disabilityIf this is true I'm going to stop working immediately.
>>695196720I love fog, cold, and Christmas stuff tbqh, i loathe the winter-spring and summer-fall transition months
>>695197172I have the same mindset>Hmm maybe I should get healthy and then I'll feel better but then again goyslop is one of the only things that actually makes me feel good anymore
>>695197532I'm considering doing walks around my apartment complex, already see some tenants do that anyway and we have an uphill area that will give me extra calorie burning I suppose. I'm not sure yet, but it'd be cheaper and less stressful than getting a gym membership. I can just casually walk around the complex for free for like 30 minutes a day, and I already do a lot of walking at my job anyway. Really, I probably don't even NEED to walk every day, since I walk plenty at work. The main focal point would be changing my diet, if I ate healthier and stuck with it, I'd probably just shed a lot of weight after 6-8 weeks. The problem is eating correctly and actually sticking with it, even one cheat day can ruin it, but it's tough for me. You crave fast food or something greasy and you have to tell yourself not to get it. My most embarrassing diet story is essentially one time I went to the gym at the first of the year, it was so fucking crowded I ended up just leaving and went and got a large pizza for myself. I just was like "Fuck this shit." It's like the alcoholic relapsing after one day of AA.
>>695182263My work is literally "get on shift, sit on your ass for 12 hours and do literally nothing, easily take a nap with no consequences to performamce whatsoever because all management leaves after 8 hours", yet i still return home like this.Fucking how.
>>695197172It has to come naturally via learning to cook. After maybe a decade of cycling healthy foods and slop, i no longer crave slop that much anymore. A good quick fried eggs in some high fiber toasted tortillas with some leafslop and hot sauce is delicious and easy and healthy. Same with meats in general, i love beef patties or making soups. Just toss in broccoli in there for the veggie. Id have to pay some diner that is 45m driving away $15 for any of that and too not be exactly to my taste still.I still do occasionally eat slop it still tastes good but its more just a nice alternative from time to time to add more variety. I never order desserts anymore though slice they're concentrated gigaslop. Going out with a friend I'll still gladly eat some fast food no complaints. I think part of it is your stomach just needs to get used to the new food, as it is with any new good.
>>695197665It is, but you still have to qualify/apply for neetbux (social security income) and apparently it's not that easy or simple.
>>695198041>quick fried eggHow the fuck do you make eggs quickly, my shit always takes like 20 minutes I make 3 two table spoons of egg whites and one whole egg.
>>695197989Because it's more about nutrition and health, literally every normaltard complains about that
>>695182263I spend 2-4 hours doing actual work while rest of work i just slack or shit post.
>>695198291Hmm? 5m for the pan to hit max heat and you to crack/beat the eggs, place the oil to sizzle. Eggs get cooked almost instantly, like 30s, turn heat off and flip, unless your pan is huge then no flip needdd. and no i don't burn them at all otherwise they'd be bland. Where are the extra 10m coming for you?
>>695198476I use a nonstick pan and butter, since oil gets everywhere and cooking spray apparently ruins nonstick pans. Granted, my pan is a bit fucked up, it has an upper dent in the middle and now things lean one way. Either that or it's the stove top's burner.
>>695198879Must be a burner issue, i figure any pan should distribute heat in its base easily enough in a burner and as non-cast iron. Butter browns/ burns at high enough heat so if you're never getting that maybe that's the sign.
Is this the blog thread? I have a lot of shit going on, never in the mood to play video games for more than an hour or so, and then it's just Mahjong. I was really excited for Elin and I bought that shit day one and got tired of it just a day later. You don't have to read any of this, I just want to write it out to get it out of my head. I'm in my final year of university for a degree in industrial engineering and I got married in May this year. I used to work in a kitchen up until last week but it's thankless, shitty work that also impedes my learning efforts. At this time I am costing off of a bit of savings, student and credit card loans and I'm getting my last paycheck in a week. I need a part time job ASAP that will hopefully turn into a fulltime position in September, when I will be done with my degree, but I've been just so busy with lab work that I can't find the time to apply for jobs. At least that's what I tell myself, since I'm obviously on 4chan right now wasting my precious time. It's obvious what I need to do: Do whatever I need to do to not fail out of classKeep applying for jobsAnd that's it.
>>695182263I just slack off at work
>>695199670Internship internship internship i hate this kike scam sham world
>>695199829Do a work from home job or something.
I just immediately start playing vidya after getting home
>>695188697I was in the same position. Ended up first getting a crappy job as a sort of office assistant to one of my moms friend for a few months. Then I became a teacher. Its an ok job I get insurance and im looking forward to a week off. Teachers are so in demand despite me having no experience or a degree in teaching I got hired after a 5min phone interview. Kids suck though.
I am putting together a new PC this month because I want to play cheap indie shit with my friends and co-workers. My work is surprisingly chill even though people are being fired left and right for reasons beyond my understanding. I hope I don't get fired until next year at least, no one hires around the Christmas time for IT around here>>695188697just lie dummy>>695197982dude, Just go to the gym and do actual exercise and change your diet. If you want to gain some muscle just take a little spoon of creatine in the morning and one handful of whey protein at night instead of dinner.
>>695200750How's the paper work doesn't it treasure hours to prep and grade? What about ptc?
>>695194306Nigga just lie LMAO Any degree that doesn't require hard proof of experience like art or something similar can be easily bullshitted about, you faggots have it easy. I have to make proof I'm good at my job, but I can't because I'm so utterly depressed and can't find any motivation. It's been a year since I graduated.
I live incredibly unhealthily but I don't have this issue. It's like my body reserves energy just for playing vidya, so I can get off a shift of work where I feel tired and shitty (I mean it's an office job so no real exertion) and then start playing vidya and it's like I'm a different person. My issue is that I want to keep playing, often til past midnight and I have to force myself to stop.
>>695201639it requires hard proof
>>695201698It's math nigga. Make shit up. Lie.
>>695201860NTA, I meant to say IT
>>695201996That's even easier.
>>695186982Because they're stupid and don't care. They're just mad and want the problem fixed and will metaphorically bash their head against the wall until that happens. They won't try to fix it themselves and you don't really want them to because they're so fucking stupid, careless and clumsy that they'd make it worse. The amount of times I have seen people break things instead of taking an extra 2-5 seconds to ensure that thing doesn't get broken is astonishing. We've moved forward as a species but a lot of people are not suited for modern society, they're better off sitting around in a forest breaking open nuts, eating raw meat and dying at 38 after refusing to treat a wound or drinking obviously dirty water. Try to remember that just 15,000 years ago (a blip on the timeline) your co-workers would have worn furs and lived in huts and that amount of time isn't really enough for evolution to make them any smarter. They're still just a bunch of apes.

Its noon I am at work from home as a system administrator for a Fortune 500 company. Right after making this post on /v/ I will launch Ass Creed: Black Flag and play it for an hour or two
>>695201529What do you mean by PTC? Also paperwork is pretty manageable at least the public school where I teach. I get to decide what exactly gets graded so for me its not too bad. Your given one period a day of planning I use it for nap time half the time but 45 mins is usually enough for me to grade a full day of assignments. Curriculum maps tend to cover 80% of what I need to prep for class the rest mostly just being throwing together a crappy powerpoint. You also have to make a study plan for the week and submit it which is mildly annoying. Theres not that much student paperwork at all and when I do have to do it its usually like 5mins of my time. We also have teacher work days which are entire paid work days with no kids. I use like 2 hours of it for work and the rest hanging out with the 2 coworkers I like watching movies and BSing. The worst part is managing the students they can be such an insane pain in the ass and its nuts to me since I tend to have the best kids in the school cause I teach AP courses and they are still little assholes 2/3rds of the time.
>>695202724Man i don't wanna micro manage little faggots and having to deal with their parents even, fuck that
can someone reply to my post please
>>695203XXXtestedit: wtf?
>>695202925You almost never interact with the parents. The deans do. Again could just be my school but my interactions with parents is trying to call them to tell them little jose is being a massive asshole and they dont answer or just say "oh ya ill talk to him" and nothing changes its a formality to cover my ass and its pretty rare. I have like 1-2 parent teacher conferences a quarter, almost always with kids who have IEPs. If the kids were more inclined to behave the job would be bordering on S tier. I have a big room to myself, my bosses rarely talk to me, I get effectively free healthcare as an american, I get massively long holidays and the pay is ok I guess. Its just the kids can be such insane headaches. Lucky for like most of them if I tell them "hey if an admin walks in be cool" they actually are so it works out.

>>695182263Unless your work is extremely important to society like being a construction worker, doctor or scientist, then working full time is a result of you failing at life.
>>695193125The fuck do you mean? If you have work you get up, simple as. Being tired isn't an excuse. I've gotten up and in time to work several times on fuck all sleep. It isn't fun but it isn't like you are comatose.

>>695201996>I meant to say ITYou worked for Twitter as a local systems administrator until Elon Musk bought it, you put your head down, stopped work, and did the bare minimum out of protest until you were eventually let go. You spent the intervening years working on yourself physically and mentally, taking the occasional temp. job at call centres, and are now looking to actively get yourself back into a career.^ that's a bit outdated, might still work, but unironically look around for big tech layoffs and oh no that's me too!

>>695188697Did any teachers like you? Ask them for job recs
Unless you're literally falling asleep, 9 times out of 10 just booting up the game in the first place clears up the tiredness. I had a lot of trouble just doing nothing in the bed and feeling like shit when I got up 3 or 4 hours later until I used one of those alarm apps that have tasks to make you wake up. Instead of actively getting up I just make an alarm for 5-10 minutes on impulse and then when it goes off I have to get up and get the calculator for the bulletin math problem. A lot of "too tired to get up" is a matter of poor impulse control, so try using it to your advantage
>>695194153Undergrad major doesnt really matter that much, so long as, like the other anon said, youre making connections. Having a handful of professors to recommend you jobs or write letters for applications gets you pretty far in any field

>>695204342??? I thought I was voicing discontent? Keeping up with multiple young kids requires a lot of mental bandwidth, and it’s hard trying to establish yourself in your 20s while juggling parenthood.

>>695214126Because there are more people than jobs out there. That simply means that some people will not work, even if they want to and try as hard as they can.This is why companies eventually started to create "bullshit positions", especially for their friends to weasel their way into.

>>695214476What did you do for them to not be a thing?
>>695215372I think HR people are a lot more willing to trust someone with at least some job experience instead of gambling on someone without anyit also helps that the jobs were similar and I had a legitimate reason for quitting so they probably thought that if I was capable of getting hired for the same position elsewhere I would be a good fit for the jobbut in the end it all comes down to luck really as the anon above says, as do most things in life
