>work a laid back easymode web design job for $16/hr
>it's not great pay but i can sleep in, wear tshirts and shorts, and it's very low stress
>rent is only $350/mo and i cook so food is cheap
>already have a car, nice pc, big tv
>sell amphetamine to college kids for some side money if i feel like smoking weed or getting mexican food
>only thing i do is lift, fap, and consume media
my mom is always whining at me to get a "real" job (salary and benefits i guess) but i don't even give a shit
what's the point? how would it even make my life better? i would just be more stressed and have less free time to lay around and jerk off. plus i might get drug tested which woule take away the only joy i get in life anymore
how do i do it bots? or should i just be content with my mediocrity and forget about being exceptional at anything
Work on a real project, make a videogame. You know you always wanted to.
>tfw I'd kill for a $16/hr job with no stress
Stay where you're at robot, you're in a good place. I make less, have higher rent, work overtime, and barely make $13/hr working as an automotive service advisor. And God damn, that job is stressful. You're constantly pissed off and freaking out over making enough commission for the week if you're not busy. Then, normally, when the sales are low you still have to deal with the same amount of bitching. Manager bitches because a customer bitches because a mechanic fucks up or doesn't fuck up but the customer still bitches and you get all the shit for it.
nahh dude. keep blazing it 24/7. if you are happy there is no problem.
your mam wants that you have a gf. she wants you to get higher social status.
>>24813154
well i graduated from the top uni in the state and every time i go home to my parents house i just hear bitching from my mom about it.
it's really not much money at all, i'm in the lowest income bracket
>>24813158
i am not happy but i don't really think i could get a gf. i'm probably my parents only hope for grandkids (i have 2 brothers) but they're probably fucked. i just dont give a shit anymore family, i see no joy in life
>>24813058
Keep doing what you're doing, you'll live a long and happy life compared to others who strive for greatness.
>>24813058
Fuck you, OP.
I'd kill to be in your position where I can make some decent dosh with little to no stress and just lay back and enjoy life.
>>24813058
Only move forward if you feel if it'd make you happy. It didn't for me.
>worked part time job as IT at school
>shit pay but pretty much like OP
>friend gets me job offer at white collar place
>double the pay, opportunity for promotion/raises
>say now, more money is cool, why not
>triple the fucking hours
>triple the fucking stress
>40 minute drive to work every morning
>9am-5pm sharp everyday or i start getting tailed by my manager
>gotta shower regularly and dress like a wagecluck, otherwise the normies start to notice
>NO time off, time off strictly controlled by a calendar and a certain amount of hours/sickdays
Fortunately I got my old job back, but now with full time, still just as easy just have to work a few hours more a day.
I don't want to be the guy on r9k to throw away your motivation for success but the white collar wagekirk life was NOT for me. Now I get to sleep in and work on my game development more.
Honestly I think the secret to happiness in life is not being consumed by your career. I think the reason depression is so bad in our population is because spending 80% of our lives working is the norm.
Don't go NEET, don't go full wage cock, just find a nice inbetween.
>>24813270
>lay back and enjoy life
but i dont enjoy it. i just sleep like 10-12hrs a day, consume media, and fap excessively.
i eat a fuckton so to avoid getting fat i work out and take dnp. i feel like a loser that was lucky enough to get into a top 20 uni and get a job in a small startup because of it. otherwise i don't do shit, i learned the system first so i'm just there because i know how the business runs. i shitpost half of the workday and take 2hr lunch breaks. i basically have 5 hour work days
Create.
You sound as if you have the time that allows you to do this. Wagekucks dream about pursuing whatever project they have in mind, and NEETs are too demotivated/ hold too much apathy to get moving.
That inbetween where you have enough discipline to get up and do something, and enough time to lay back and take a load off.
That is perfect. You will feel fulfilled if you starting making stuff, even if it's shitty. Arts and crafts, fixing up cars, drawing, 3D modelling, coding, making computer games, making board games...
It can be as autistic as your heart desires. You will reach Nirvana and tell your parents to go fuck themselves. That extra bit of happiness/ confidence you get may even get you a gf as well who knows
>>24813446
don't know what to create tbqh. i'm not an art person and it would have to enrich my life to be self-motivating.
>>24813404
Living the dream.

>>24813154
Bruuuh trade me, I work a shitty job for 10 an hour, im a full time student, and work 6 hours a day
Consider yourself blessed
>>24813446
Do this OP
It also wouldn't hurt to start leaving your house more and interacting with people. Maybe buy a camera and pick up photography, go out and photograph nature or random people on the street or events in your city. You'll feel less depressed and more like a part of society. Eventually you could even make a little side money doing it.
>>24813508
No one is an "art person" you faggot
As much as you'd love to believe that some people are just talented, it takes practice + a positive feedback loop to get good at something
I didn't want to be a programmer/ coder, I just needed to get something to work a certain way. I had a friend help me with it, and I felt like a god when I made it work. Kept doing more shit with more things, felt like a god even more.
But I didn't want to be a programmer. That stuff is for people who are really good at math, whereas I only know up to basic algebra and nothing more. Coding is nerd shit for faggot losers, who brag about shit/ make stuff needlessly complicated.
I actively didn't want to become a programmer, but I was having the time of my life making shit. It was also hard but what I wanted to make outweighed the challenge of forcing my way through it
Spite is a force to be reckoned with. Spite and feeling useful. Almost all the early shit I did was because I felt "That isn't right. I can think of 10 ways to make that better." And I made them better.
Plugins, mods, retextures... This is most peoples' step into this whole game industry.
If you don't give a shit about games, let it be movies/ cinema. Or whatever you consume the most.
Even drawing, the thing that looks like it requires the most talent, requires zero. It's literally practice- it's just an illusion. It's the biggest fucking hoax that you need artistic talent; for most people it was simply that positive feedback loop.
"Wow! You're good at drawing!" -> They draw more -> "Wow you're getting good!" -> Draw more often when bored -> "Wow now you're great!" -> establish passion for subject and keep getting better.
>>24813599
but i'm not happy
>>24813508
Get an art person to do the art for you. 1 person projects neve r go anywhere
>>24813652
who gives a shit about you
I would
>>24813643
>>24813643
>No one is an "art person" you faggot
lelwut? i dont even enjoy music
>As much as you'd love to believe that some people are just talented, it takes practice + a positive feedback loop to get good at something
but i don't even like art
>programming
i do programming for my job. it's ok but i have to have a purpose behind it, a problem to solve. i can't program myself a gf or happiness so it's just a trade for me, how i make money to eat and do drugs
>programming for vidya
don't like vidya tbqh, wish i did. wish i liked music and socializing and other normieshit but i don't. i would do those things for pay but not for free, that's my problem
>whatever you consume the most
drugs and porn? can't be a pornstar ;_;
>>24813765
So you're more driven by practical things?
Have you thought of creating websites? Like a drug discussion forum that doesn't look like ass (pitch black background, comic sans text)
Are there things that frustrate you/ annoy you about the things you may like? Idk, maybe the porn or drugs you like. You can find an angle to attack the problem from, or scope down and focus something more within your grasp.
>>24813853
>>24813853
>Have you thought of creating websites?
did you read the OP man? that's my job
i would make a website if i had an idea and it would make me money. otherwise it would just be content i write and i dont have any passions to write about.
>drug discussion forum
they already exist. bluelight, drugs.com, shroomery. for a forum the most important thing is the posters. look at 4chan, basic as fuck design that could be made in a day but very popular.
>Are there things that frustrate you/ annoy you about the things you may like? Idk, maybe the porn or drugs you like. You can find an angle to attack the problem from, or scope down and focus something more within your grasp.
not really desu. i mean porn could be tagged better for optimal searching but that would require a lot of people to be more vigilant and the tools already exist.
my drugs are fine. weed could be cheaper but what're you gonna do? i'm not growing in an apartment
>>24814047
Your problem is literally that you don't have problems XD
I guess it pays to be bitchy in some way, cause you could use it to be "angrily passionate" about something
Just don't resort to conspiracy theories or getting obsessed with politics I guess
Idk, discuss stuff, be a critic on some level (even just in your own head)
>>24814156
>you don't have problems
yeah i guess. i have no gf but i've never had one so i can't even say that it's for me. plus i fap so much my sexual urges are taken care of.
>Just don't resort to conspiracy theories or getting obsessed with politics I guess
meh i did this. spent all my free time arguing online about the news and stuff. then i graduated, started working and lifting, and now i dont even get joy out of arguing with dumb normies online anymore ;_;
>>24814414
Fuck, idk what I'd do if I were you
I'd probably just consume more media, find places to wander around irl
Do you watch anime? One Punch man is good shit
>>24814472
nah man never liked anime
as a teen i just liked learning useful shit
now i'm out of useful stuff to learn. i think "when will i ever use this" and get discouraged
>>24813058
Similar situation but + full benefits. Just a chill public sector job, I read books most of the day. I keep half-heartedly looking around for other jobs but there aren't that many jobs in America that offer 5 weeks of paid time off/year starting. If you have no desire to get married and no expensive drug interest I don't see why any single male would need to make much more than 30k.
shit
now all this is reminding me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Je1CEPkUM
