Hello there, wagie!
How was work? Wait, what's that..? Mr Shekelstein made you work unpaid overtime? What a shame! Hahaha, oh well.
As for me, I've begun writing my thesis on ancient Greek philosophy. It's really interesting and I'm glad that I have the time to study it.
As Epictetus said
"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power or our will."
So don't get upset when your tax money goes to my NEET brethren!
Oh would you look at the time! I have a physics lecture to attend. In my abundance of free time I have developed theories which rival those of Newton and Einstein themselves. Well, I'll see you later!
And as always...
Another day, another dollar.
According to the biblical tradition the absence of work -- idleness -- was a condition of the first man's state of blessedness before the Fall. The love of idleness has been preserved in fallen man, but now a heavy curse lies upon him, not only because we have to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, but also because our sense of morality will not allow us to be both idle and at ease. Whenever we are idle a secret voice keeps telling us to feel guilty. If man could discover a state in which he could be idle and still feel useful and on the path of duty, he would have regained one aspect of that primitive state of blessedness. And there is one such state of enforced and irreproachable idleness enjoyed by an entire class of men -- the military class. It is this state of enforced and irreproachable idleness that forms the chief attraction of military service, and it always will.

Can you name some of those theories? They sound interesting
>mfw buying food off amazon
thats it, I've finally become a shut-in
>NEETs actually condition themselves to believe they're some kind of psuedo-intellectuals
topkek
>in my abundance of free time I have developed theories which rival those of Newton and Einstein themselves.
Do they hire professional writers to do this shit?
>>29321793
>Amazon has food
HOW THE FUCK DIDN'T I KNOW THIS?
>>29321751
What's that, OP?
I suppose I'll leave you to it, gotta go to a party and fuck these gorgeous coworkers of mine. Yeah, that 9-5 grind just melts away while I'm giving those slits a soaking wet double-dip.
Have fun, I myself study psychology in my free time. Much more practical, but then a smart lad like you knew that already.

Fuck your shipping drones.
Enjoy being spied on by the NSA while your neetchow is airdropped for you, NSAcuck.
>>29321922

U live in cuckcinnati? Damn.
it's hard to tell what's more pathetic
>>29321999
>Fuck your shipping drones.
Wait, I thought Amazon only used drones for remote locations?
>>29321751
Feels good to be a NEET and using my freetime to become a polymath. Knowing psychology, ecology, evolutionary biology, sociology and philosophy will surely put Goethe to shame.
I suggest my fellow NEETs to read Nassim Taleb. He totally BUSTED the idea that knowledge comes from academia. It are NEETs with too much free time which REALLY contribute to society.

Well as hyperbolic as these wagecucking threads are I'm a NEET and ignoring the issues that have lead me here it's the superior way of life. The character portrayed in the OP certainly does reflect fairly well aside from my social phobia and autism. It'd be silly to consider which is more pathetic though. Because that's only based on the transient opinions of society. There's (no joke) modern day NEET mathematicians. Once they become more well known (mathematicians never really do unless you're Euler, Gauss or Ramanujan (so impressive)) the perception will change. You can probably take some intelligence measurement test in the future and pledge to follow your own societally beneficial pursuits without all the academic overhead. It's a far more efficient model. These people don't work for money. They work for the sake of it. So the average wagecuck pay just being given to them (like in my case) is just positive. There'd likely be places to meet other intellectuals too to substitute University. Since University is mostly superfluous aside from the post-graduate studies.
The world is looking quite bright if people just let it be.
>>29322072
All of those are about formal education, employment or training.
I know you don't have that much time on your hands to post wagie but don't litter threads like this. Think for a second.
>>29321751
Mr. Shekelstein gives me $250,000 before bonuses and such. All I do is socialize with people HAHAHAHA.
>>29322339
>$250,000 before bonuses and such
>before "bonuses"
Spotted the poorfag, every person actually earning 250k+ a year would call it benefits.
>>29322550
This.
Unless he's humble bragging and is earning a couple million a year perhaps. In which case it's not X before bonuses it's X bonuses that's the important part.
>>29321751
Hah jokes on you I'm still at work. Please helped I don't want to live like this but I need the sheckles
>>29322035
I stand by what I said.
Come at me, bro.
>>29322053
How are you using your vast knowlege?Aside from finding writings that make you feel special and useful, I mean?
>got a job working for a physics professor
>literally spend all day writing files for calculations and then watching them run
>75% down time
>virtually no human contact unless I want it
>coworkers are this dude with good music taste and this super autistic girl
>they pay for my housing as well as a stipend
>can work for the same professor again later
Feels pretty good to be a wage cuck man. Plus what I'm doing actually matters.
>>29322780
Ah yes. So far it is only brainporn to be perfectly honest. Also pic related the evidence that it are NEETs who contribute to our understanding of the world.
>>29322885
Very nice read. Where did you find that?
>>29322991
It is from Antifragile by Nassim Taleb.
>>29321751
>Neetfag
>studies Greek philosophy
>no mention of Diogenes, the Arch-Neet,
>he who is first and greatest among your wretched kind, the only one among you made his life worth living
What a fucking disgrace.
>>29321751
Hey there NEET slave. How's the basement treating you? Still masturbating to My Little Ponies...err I mean "studying philosophy?" Oh really? Your mom is only crying about how much of an embarrassment you are only 4 hours a day instead of the usual 5+? Hey that's an improvement!
Well I've got to go. Lunch break is almost over and I got to get back to my $240 per day job. I've been hitting on the secretary lately. Maybe I'll ask her out for coffee today. Man it would suck not being able to flirt with hot girls everyday at work. But I'm sure you have a girlfriend, right, NEET?
Well adios.
>>29323056
Diogenes wasn't the Arch-NEET, he lived like a filthy dog instead of taking advantage of the system and living comfily. He was just an edgy contrarian.
>>29321770
you would have to assume being a NEET is being idle
if they were in person today, do you think cain would call abel a NEET? think about it
>>29323117
>do you think cain would call abel a NEET?
Cain and Abel didn't live in the Garden of Eden, they were born after mankind was already cursed to work and suffer.
>>29322550
Bonuses are generally separate from benefits such as insurance, 401k/IRA, company car/lodging and other amenities.
Bonuses are different because they are not set in stone due to them generally being based on certain performance indicators.
Last year we made x% more than our projected amounts and I got a 5000 dollar bonus plus a 15k profit share check to split between us for our 401k.
Why are NEET threads always the most intelligent on r9k?
It's obviously not a high standard but still.
>>29323229
Thats not how 401ks work, it's obvious you're full of shit. At least put some effort into your lies.
>>29322240
so you just live in denial? the fact you know that means you arent, you just pretend to ignore them so you dont see yourself as a failure
t. wagecuck out of choice, the most superior form of living
>>29322272
How is he going to a physics lecture then? An informal school?
>>29323101
What system? In fucking ancient Corinth? No neetbux back then amigo. Everything smelled like shit except the elites & all the common people lived like dogs.
>Diogenes not comfy
Just look at this comfy bastard. There were Corinthian farmers who had it worse.
He managed to be neither a wageslave nor an actual slave (except that one time because pirates) in a time where such was the absolute norm.
>>29323243
The NEET is not interested in praise, money and approval. The NEET has an intristic motivation to do that which he, rarely she, is truelly interested in.
They need the freetime to engage in their intellectual pursuits. The only way to do this is the NEET life.
Only a select few of academics have the chance to do this: most of them are still wagecucks.
>>29323163
your point? a NEET does work, the difference between the NEET decendants and you is their work doesn't involve becoming a slave to mammon. refrain from inserting your own headcanon next time btw to scripture (idleness is the condition of the fall). the book isn't up for personal interpretation
This morning the depression was too crippling so I called in sick.
Ho hum.
>>29323312
Gonna have to elaborate anon. I don't live like this out of choice. But given the set of parameters I suggested it's superior. Work in a hierarchical structure is obviously to some degree involuntary unless you get off on it or something.
>>29323328
What the fuck are you talking about you dumb wagecuck. NEETs don't do work, they're idle, just like Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, and unlike Cain and Abel who were cursed to have to work all their lives.
I suppose you can't expect a wagecuck to actually have some education since he's busy slaving away all his days, but please make an effort.
>>29323314
Do you know what a lecture is? What would suggest he's not NEET by going to a physics lecture? What makes his learning formal just because he's going to a lecture? Would you stop being a NEET if you happen upon a MIT open courseware lecture online?
>>29323390
What was Socrates? Pythagoras?
What are Buddhist monks? Homeguards?
If your definition of work is narrow enough, sure you're correct. But but at least redefine work from the normal usage we tend to share then.
>>29323267
Our profit sharing is invested by an investment group who handles a 401k in our name. Because it's not our earnings we don't really see any tax deduction. The check we get is like those big fake checks in that they are mainly symbolic of the money.
I use a Roth IRA for my savings on the side.
It's ok though, I know you are referring to pre tax deductions from your check that go into your 401k that most people are familiar with
>>29321793
What food did you get? I need good snack tips.
>>29323519
Gummy worms, sour patch kids, butter, popcorn.
Just shit you'd forget to buy when you go to the grocery store desu
>>29323390
>wagie starting to ragie
tick tock slave. the synagouge of satan is expecting you in their office NOW. break time is OVER. MAMMON demands you break your back so get to it.
but before you go let me leave you this bit of factual information concerning the word; had cain not been thrown into a fit of bloodlust for abel inherting the blessings(and through this blessing the inheretance of the earth through his seed), which inevitably became the (N?)MEEK in due time, maybe you wouldn't feel the need today to use obscenities in an intellectual discourse involving scripture and instead have true growth in your understanding. i'm going to get a little rest now. These gains need their attention, all that free time to (work)out has been giving me the resukts i've so desired.
God, you guys are such idiots.
>>29323322
Is that why they post these threads 24/7?
>>29323519
Not the person you are replying to. But a fine NEET like me only eats sophisticated food. Dates and grapes from South Africa, strawberries and blackberries from my own region, blueberries and raspberries from Chile and Spain, macademias from Australia, figs from Turkey and dark chocolate from Nigeria.
>>29323625
Haha for real.
Justifications and over compensating.
They do know we truly don't care about them right?
>>29323629
>Chocolate
>>29323566
>Disgusting butter and candy
>Animal products
I thought NEETs were supposed to be transcendent.
>>29323687
Lel prime
>>29323625
It is my INTRINSTIC motivation to reach out for young people and show them the right path. It is not about being right or wrong, it is about what the Ancient Greeks and the Roman stoics would call "the fine and good life".
You can become a wagecuck if you want, I just want to show people you could also become a NEET and life a sophisticated and lavish life.
>>29323722
When did NEET become lavish lol.
Now you are really reaching
>>29323687
Not chocolate you filthy wagecuck. DARK chocolate. It is pure and sophisticated. It was the food of the Aztec aristocraty though sure they drank it as a hot drink with chili.
>>29323763
>It is pure and sophisticated.
You are using buzzwords for no reason. It's chocolate, not liquid gold.
>>29321792
>implying but a wagecuck could even begin to comprehend these of the finest of the NEETs works
>>29323314
He's giving the lecture, dumb wagie
>>29323888
Ok fair enough. But as an autodidact scholar, I know that dark chocolate reduces the chances of getting a heart attack and lowers blood pressure. It contains more flavonoides as green tea.The NEET looks after himself.
>>29321751
Thisreminds me that I've been writing a book on history of Latin and also created some very innovative and useful algorithms for mathematics and computer science. These kinds of revolutionary findings will perhaps even grant us Nobel prizes.
>>29324052
It's much of a taste issue. Dark chocolate might be good, but the bitterness isn't to the liking of many.
>>29321751
You're not a NEET if you have a job or are in education.
>>29324111
It is similar to coffee and alcohol. You'll learn to love it eventually.
>>29324184
I drink my coffee with both milk and sugar.
>tfw finishing up internship
>Getting Masters next spring
>Gonna go on vacation before moving across the country
Gonna be fun lads
>>29324225
This is why you are not a succesful NEET. People who prefer bitterness are more likely to have personalities of the dark triad. This makes it easier for them to cheat the system and become NEET, and life the good and lavish life. Source see pic.
>>29324162
University lectures are free to attend. That's so that the general public can civilize themselves, without need to be enrolled.
