I'm so angry, as a software engineer I see literally everyone working from home yet my stupid employeer refuses to allow it for some bullshit reason.

It makes me angrier because everything else about the job is decent, decent pay, decent hours, decent people yet the thought of going to the office for years makes me want to puke.

I will have to threaten them with quitting if they don't allow me to work from home.

But anyway, any of you guys deal with Indians at work? I've found them to be the most greedy, succubus-like, autistic, manchildren at any kind of leadership role; for fucks sake, even succubi and boomers aren't this bad.

I dropped out of graduate school in part because my PI was indian. He just had insane demands. Wanted me to be in the office doing research 8 hours a day, the go home and read research papers for another 3 hours, and when I asked him for help our guidance on my thesis he'd either say it's my problem to figure out or he'd pawn it off on a professor friend and let them help me instead.

Why do I hear wizards rarely talk about gossip culture?

I've had 2 jobs and in both of them the gossiping among coworkers was easily the worst part of the job. The job itself wasn't that hard.

Do all of you work in tech or something cuz that's the only place where I imagine it's mostly introverts so I guess they'd be less willing to gossip idk…

 No.264783

>>264782
you are right about tech jobs having less gossiping, the only time i witnessed actual gossip in a tech company was when a succubus behaved in a really selfish way until everyone had enough, these places really have more people who don't get anything out of gossiping.

The few regular 9-5 jobs I've been at were terrible when it comes to that though, you can't even work in storage without getting into unnecessary social drama bullshit, they will project their shit at anyone, even more at you if you're not able to partake in their retarded social rituals. It's more present in places that have a lot of succubi but even in male dominated environments outside of tech it's still pretty much the same. Why can't normies just stfu and do their jobs and go home afterwards.

I quit my job.

It was a job I had in my early 20s. I was feeling nostalgic and I guess I believed it would somehow be good for me. It was just as bad as it always was.

I don't know why I do this to myself. Every fucking time, I just fucking give them everything, they take my time like the fucking leeches that they are and suck my soul out. The corporate parasites dictate everything you do. They twist your perceptions to fit their own views of the world and vilify you if you deviate from their own vision of what an employee should be.

My soul is fucking rotting. All I am is a fucking shell with this pathetic and subservient cuck hiding inside of it, afraid to show itself for the fear that it will be seen for what it is. I'm ashamed to be here at all, and all I want is death.

I fucking gave them everything and they threw me away for someone who would happily work for less. I don't know whether I should feel pride that I said no, or disappointment that I have no spine and rolled over at the first sign of resistance.

I think I've become slightly used to the monotony of it all. I still hate having fuck all to do for 6+ hours a everyday and basically just having to stare at the walls and pretend to be busy, and there's this insane fucking rage whenever I think about how much time I'm wasting everyday doing fuckall but sitting here and throwing out the little time I've got left, but at least the boredom hurts less than it used to.

I hate this job but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Part of me wants to quit because I'm constantly stressed, overworked, underpaid and have to deal with shitty co-workers. Part of me thinks I deserve better.

On the other hand, I'm lucky that I even have a job considering I'm an autistic shut-in that can barely go outside. I don't think I could handle an interview process and all the social crap they'd throw at me before I even got in the door. I'm lucky that I work remotely, but I remember how much I suffered 2 years ago when I was commuting to an office every day and struggling to not have a panic attack and couldn't handle making eye contact with people on the bus. Despite the stress, I'm in a "stable" position currently which I don't want to take for granted and make the mistake of making my life worse by having my ego tell me I deserve better.

My technical skills are great, I get shit done, I learn fast. But I always struggled with shit normal people take for granted. I can't handle change, I can't handle all the social niceties, I can't figure out how to get a normal haircut or get clothes that fit me, I can't communicate and express myself eloquently, I talk AT people and hope they understand me. I can't really fix this despite my best efforts…

I have a bunch of money in savings that could last me a year because I have nothing to spend it on. I live with my mom that has some understanding toward my condition so she helps out by buying me groceries and chores, but she has no income of her own. If I quit, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get back on the horse again. At which point I might as well hang myself so I can stop being a burden on others…

As a jobless neet I think you shouldn't take this decision lightly. becoming free of that slavery might seem like a great idea now, but the feeling of freedom won't last. Your job may suck ass, but at least you won't feel like a useless waste of skin and sleep all day because you have nothing else to do and all entertainment became boring. However, feel free to do as you like, i'm in no position to spew advices.

 No.265098

I daydream about how much relief I'd feel if I didn't have to think about work anymore but there's too many downsides. I also can't quit in a single day, I have to give 30 days notice according to my contract which is probably the only thing that stopped me from impulsively just ghosting my employer with a small resignation message - because there wouldn't be an instant relief. I also can't afford to burn bridges with the few people that I know, so I'd have to stick around and honor the contract…

The only thing I could do is somehow make the job not suck, but my attempts at improving the organization and company culture have failed because I'm not a leader or someone people will follow. My co-workers are doing the bare minimum and I don't blame them considering putting in effort and taking up responsibility is not rewarded. Salaries have stagnated and it seems we're only getting more and more work as the clients constantly ask for new features and make demands. My boss tells me that the project we've been working on for 2+ years is still not profitable apparently, so we can't hire more people or have competent project managers or an actual QA team or even support staff that doesn't just forward me the message.

I've tried the "not giving a shit" approach but as an autistic I get obsessive with things and I can't just let go. When something is not working or I have a problem to figure out I can't stop thinking about it after work and I get nightmares trying to solve stuff in a dream but only going in a loop. My co-workers regularly submit subpar work that is untested and badly written, so either I have to check it and fix it or it will stay like that. I can't be bothered to convince people that they should do good work because it's the right thing to do And maybe they're right, they won't get a tap on the back for it or a bonus, I'm the retarded one for getting stressed out about shit.

>>265095
That's what I thought…I actually did apply to one place several months ago as an experiment and got a reply to come in for a formal interview but the thought of going in and talking to this HR lady made me feel physically ill so I just said I changed my mind about the job.

Someone suggested to me to apply for remote only positions, but even they ask to see you on webcam and make sure you're a normalfag before giving you a shot. The reality is that I will always be filtered out because of this…

>been enjoying the NEET life for over a year now
>finally forced to get a job
>found a job in a warehouse, seems like a nice enough place
>supposed to start next week but hiring process keeps getting worse with each step
>starting to regret my decision

First I did the normal, easy stuff: send a resume, have a short phone interview, then an in-person interview. I'm not the most socially-skilled individual, and needless to say I was uncomfortable, but I muddled my way through well enough and I'm basically hired. Unfortunately, I'm now at the 'background check' part of the process. I don't mind it normally, because normally it's just someone poking around the internet, looking for criminal offences and social media accounts that I don't have. However, in this case they want me to take a urine test. I've done drug screenings before, but they were just the simple mouth swab. Now I have to print out a document to take to the screening location, I have to wear a face mask and have my temperature taken and show them my license, all so I can get shoved into a room and told to piss inside a cup and then hand it to someone who will analyze it and put me into their system like I'm some sort of convict.

The whole process sounds dreadful. I haven't even done it yet and I already feel violated. What's more is it doesn't even feel like I'm getting a job anymore. It feels more like I'm being processed and sent to the state penitentiary. I'm not even working yet and I already miss being a NEET.

Yeah, my condolences. I don't know why employers insist on this archaic practice other than some paranoia that you will be less productive and the company looks less serious if they don't rent out big office space to impress the clients.

When the pandemic happened, we all switched to working from home and I guess my boss saw that nothing changed (before that you could only WFH if you asked for permission and only for day or two max). My mental health improved immediately and for a while there I was kind of happy, but you always find new shit to complain about. Now I'm butthurt that I have to do too much work and I don't get to slack off enough - meanwhile, some of you work in a warehouse doing physical labor.

I definitely sound ungrateful but my suffering is nonetheless still real. I decided to just learn how to have better boundaries and learn to say no and just work as a 1x programmer for a while instead of taking up too much responsibility. If shit breaks or slows down, I doubt anyone will notice. The coding nightmares are not fucking worth it…

That doesn't sound like a normal thing for companies to ask of you to do and feels like a red flag to me. Usually, if the hiring process of a company is very bothersome, your superiors are going to be bothersome to deal with once you actually start working there too. Maybe just try somewhere else?

I'm guessing you don't live in The Land of the Free (TM), drug tests of all kinds are not only acceptable, they've become the standard (for new, low-level hires).

Piss tests are almost always done off-site. While they (might) "technically" be paid for by the company, you still need to go to the facility, fill out paperwork, and have your privacy and personal freedoms casually violated for no reason besides "cuz we said so". Will take at least an hour+commute expenses.

>Maybe just try somewhere else?
I'd like to at this point, but I feel like I'm in too deep now since this is the final stretch before my start date. Plus, my dad is pressuring me into the job pretty hard as well. On top of that, >>265123 is correct. Most US companies will casually violate your privacy and autonomy in one way or another. For example, one of the other jobs I applied to (dishwashing) required me to disclose my last 7 years of residence history, and then wanted me to submit multiple forms for their background check. At first I thought this warehouse job would be easier, but it seems all of these places are basically the same.

To any wiz who doesn't live in the US: never believe anyone who says this is the best country on Earth, it's not. You may be at slightly less of a risk of homelessness, disease, or starvation, but the price of those comforts is full-fledged slavery with little hope of escape.

I LOVE the gossip. I get to do some work up in the office now, where there's a few ladies up there including the manager who've been here for 15+ years and it's hilarious all the shit they talk about 'the downstairs people' I used to work amongst. I love getting the inside scoop about what's going on, who's fucked up, who's in trouble, hearing them make fun of people etc.
But it's also horrifying because I'm sure they used to talk about me too, but, that's just how things work. They talk about each other behind their backs too. I hear many things. Not just in the office, there's basically no truly private places in such a building. I hear shit all the time that shouldn't be public knowledge, it's actually pretty irresponsible sometimes lol but information is power. Sometimes I use it to my advantage or just plant it in places to stir some shit (in ways not traceable back to myself). Hearing them make fun of this other lady for being a 40 year old virgin, man, succubus are lethal….and the amount they love to burp and be gross, much more so than the men, because they know they can get away with it.

So this is the real world. This is what the majority of humans are doing. They strive for this, they fight tooth-and-nail over the opportunity to do this.
This is what my life has been leading up to and what I will be doing for the rest of it:

Moving stuff to other movers of stuff so that everyone involved can continue to afford continuing the moving of the stuff.

There are people who aren't part of this endless circle of moving stuff to other movers of stuff so that the stuff can continue moving between movers of stuff.
I don't know who they are and I will never be one of them.
They never have to move stuff or worry about whether they will continue being able and allowed to move stuff.

One day I will be gone and my tomb stone won't even say "Here lies Anon, he moved stuff".
I'll just be ashes mixed in with the ashes of billions of other movers of stuff. There will be some grassy hill outside of town under which all these ashes of billions are buried. The hill will have a sign "People who moved stuff". The hill will be grassy for a few years until the neglect makes it a filthy dirt mount with a sign reading "Stuff". The cheap labor used to bury our ashes will lead to streams of black mud appearing on the outskirts of town when it rains. Nobody is completely sure of what this filth is; only that it is probably waste material and thankfully it drains into the sewers where it fucking belongs.

One day the unstable, polluted patch of cheap land from which toxic black goo once oozed will be purchased by Amazon or Walmart and they will construct another warehouse on top of it. The warehouse will be filled with stuff to be moved by people to other warehouses across the realm.

Working made me realize that work is probably the worst thing to ever happen to people, it literally kills your soul, makes you a slave of someone else, you dont even belong to yourself, this is probably what Marx was talking about when he wrote shit about alienation.

I just took a day off without telling anyone (just because, fuck them) and I realized how much freedom I used to have when I was a NEET, it truly feels like work is this awful prison that destroys you both physically and psychologically, now that I had this small spark of freedom I don't think I can handle being slaved forever.


And keep in mind that I've only had this job for a couple of months, I can't imagine doing ANY job for years, I would rather kill myself honestly.

I had a discussion with my mom today and we ended up talking about jobs. She said she made about $25,000 in 1975 working at a supermarket. The most I've ever made is $45,000 a year working as a government researcher in modern times. We looked it up and her pay in modern dollars is equivalent to ~$100,000.

So I went through with the urine test (mentioned here >>265107) and I am now officially a mover of stuff in a warehouse. I started work yesterday in the 'apparel department' where I spend my entire day packing and processing articles of clothing, then taking them to the shipping area. It's not terrible (yet) but it gets very repetitive and mind-numbing fairly quickly. I start to get pretty tired about 5 hours into my shift. Another sour note is that a normal shift is basically 9 hours, as they give you the mandatory lunch-hour. However, we are allowed to take as little as 30 minutes, which most people opt to do (myself included) so they can go home 30 minutes earlier.

The true nightmare is just over the horizon, however, as we are entering our 'busy season.' What this means for me is that very soon, as in next week soon, they will be scheduling me for 10 hour shifts and weekends. I'm pretty sure I overheard our supervisor use the term 'mandatory weekend' so it wont even be an option. I already feel like my free time is almost non-existent on normal shifts, but it feels like the true slavery is fast-approaching. I'm really dreading this.

A recruiter said he wanted to get me an interview after the weekend. I gave him my resume and now I have to wait in anticipation for him yo call me because all he said was Monday or Wednesday. The job is contract and apparently moves "quickly", so a one week period between finding and interviewing is normal. The problem is I don't know when he wants me interviewed. This is atupid. I don't want to wait to find out, and I don't want to find out today is the day, "so I better get ready!"

Are you implying smoking weed is the equivalence of hitting your head on a brick wall? Because if any substance is that its alcohol. Yes weed isn't healthy but neither are most things technically and it's much safer than a lot of prescribed "medicines" .

So long as you aren't smoking weed under the age of 25 literally all of the after effects fade in a couple of days besides of course THC in your piss/body fat but even that goes away in a month depending on the amount you did.

It's completely fine you personally dislike marijuana for whatever reason like being on the schizo spectrum, having burnouts for parents or whatever. You shouldn't project that onto wizzies here who are just trying to catch a break in the demiurges fallen world.

You will begin to experience bipolar, psychotic, amnesic, and irritable states as your baseline within 3 years. Weed can only distract you at that point. You will never go back to feeling normal without it.
>amazing feelings and effects
Go ahead and list them so we can recommend drugs and supplements for the same effects which don't have downsides.

I work as a bike courrier doing food deliveries. Is it not one of the most antithetical job that a wizard could do ? I'm constantly outdoors in a big city full of people and it's really making me uneasy sometimes, no matter how much i try to not give a fuck. It has been 2 years now doing this and i think it had eroded my peace of mind slowly piece by piece, it's weird. People can be awful (have openly been to me a few times), sometimes passive agressive, and it's like it built up during these 2 years. I thought it would get better but it got worse, i feel more out of place than ever before. And the line between reality and paranoia got very thin, i'm full of apprehension, i think it's unhealthy for me to keep doing this shit.

So an update on my new warehouse job: I hate it. The 10-hour shifts I had mentioned before are worse than I originally thought. I thought it was 1 or 2 10-hour shifts sprinkled throughout a week, as it turns out however, I'm expected to work 10 hours every day, 50 hours per week (not including lunch, prep-time, and commute) total for the rest of the year. What's more is the 2nd and 4th Saturday of this month I will be expected to work 8 hours. I've just been tremendously bamboozled by these people, because when I originally applied, I was told 8 hours Monday through Friday. I knew that getting a job would severely curtail my personal freedoms, but this job has successfully baited me into full-on slavery. On top of all of that, I've been having some health issues lately and this job isn't helping matters.

Family and coworkers of course tell me, each other, and themselves the same bullshit lines. Things like "you'll get used to it" or "wait until you see your paycheck, then you'll feel better." It's an obviously weak cope. I don't see how anyone can truly 'get used' to 10+ hours grinding away at the same dull, repetitive tasks for 5+ days in a row. And as far as the paycheck goes: How am I supposed to be happy about money that I don't have the time to spend or enjoy? This whole situation has quickly escalated from 'depressing slog' to 'waking nightmare' in less than a week. Today my mind actually shut off all thoughts and emotions for about 2 full hours, this happens from time to time as a sort of defense mechanism when I get extremely enraged and depressed simultaneously. My brain simple doesn't know what to do with all of these negative thoughts and feelings, so it just flushes everything out. I've been giving serious thought to killing myself lately, now it's all but confirmed. I can't take this pointless, agonizing life anymore, so I'm going to spend the next 4-6 weeks wrapping up some personal affairs and making preparations, then I'm getting off this horrible ride.

Thank you. It's rough but it feels somewhat self induced which is really frustrating, because i have no control over it. Then i think i'm somewhat right to feel this way, cause these 2 years have simply been empirical evidence that some people do hostile shit, do judge, observe and comment when you drive past them on a bike and it can be awful and humiliating. It's like you're a sitting duck, especially if you look weird because of a condition (for me it's chronic depression and some form of autismo i guess) and for some atavistic reasons. I'm a 6ft6 white dude but i am also getting too old for this job, i'm almost 29 most of my coworkers are youngsters. I had people commenting on how i looked rough, others on how i was about to cry, others on how i looked scared, which doesn't surprise me because i do get neurotic as fuck. Sometimes it's just weird or malicious looks, i mean people coming from ahead and observing me the whole time, not looking away. Sometimes with a sneer.
I didn't mention the cases of open hostility, i mean when people got confronted which just confirmed that i actually didn't fucking misheard or imagined shit. I bet my ass that if i did that more often, it would just have confirmed lots of things but i prefer to get on with my day. It's little things like that, that just led to a build-up. I'm not straight up paranoid but too sensitive, which led to apprehension. I feel misunderstood and it pisses me off, i think to understand me someone someone would have to do this job in my skin.

But i bet i'm not the only one to feel this way. There's that guy, looks to be in his forties, he always seems stressed as hell (kinda cowers with a pavlovian response when greeted while driving the bike) and still wears the mask on his mouth. He's also 5 foot. You can tell this guy had to live a life of abuse despite having a better character than me, he seems much kinder and less proud than me deep inside but shit still buggers him. Abuse that still persists with that shitty job exposing him to rude urban normies, gee whiz…

I also talked with other guys, there is one guy that got spat to his face for asking a guy to clear the way, another one got asked by some depraved faglord if he wanted to get his dick sucked. I also have access to a chat for work purposes (to communicate with colleagues or dispatch) and i have seen crazy things there too like guys getting assaulted for delivering too late or getting lit cigarettes thrown in the face while driving past a group, getting insulted for asking the client's name (must match the one on the ticket) etc. Shit sucks, i just can't stand the shitty vibe this city gives off sometimes.

It's weird cause this city do have a shitty reputation, but at the same time it's not THAT bad and there are worse places for sure. Many locals defend it (often students or international people though so they live in a bubble). But it sucks at the same time and people are always on their guard, even those who pretend they love it, it's really confusing. The general ethos is kinda trash, very cosmopolitan and chaotic, "the war of all against all" basically while pretending everything is cool and fine. I feel that's why people can be so hostile and judgy in here. I just got back from groceries and there was some crazy hobo screaming insanities right in front of my house. There is always something, but then they will tell people to just brush these daily occurrences off as something silly until everything turns to shit.

You should pick what you want to specialize in. Since you picked JS as your first language, I'm assuming you want to go into web development. There you can either specialize in Front-End or Back-End programming and sometimes there's Full-Stack developers that do both.

Here's a site with up-to-date roadmaps on what to learn:
https://roadmap.sh/

Front-end development is a little more forgiving when it comes to core computer science knowledge needed, but it has its own set of complexities. I suggest learn vanilla JS (just pure JS without any frameworks) and learn how to manipulate the DOM, then when you pick a framework like React or Angular, it will be less magical what they do under the hood.

With current prices and inflation working is mostly a massive scam, our parents and grandfathers worked hard so they could buy Houses, cars and some kind of wealth that could last for generations, today we mostly work just to avoid starvation and homelessness the best we can, it's basically impossible to build something by yourself unless you're already rich.

Yep, our grandfathers could actually build a legacy because their accumulated wealth held its value. For us it's actually counter-productive to work since we're trading our time, energy and even health for a currency that depreciates in value, and very rapidly as of late.

I will probably be fired or laid off from my current job as I've been slacking off the past few months (although it's mostly because I'm still waiting on stuff from my co-worker but they won't take that as an excuse).

Canada, actually. So yes 3rd world. The house is heated with large wood stoves. Hardwood 2x4s burn hot and quick so they're good for getting the fire going in the morning. There are small electric heaters on the water lines to keep them from freezing.

Got the job through my dad. It's a small construction company that hires contractors for their respective trades but there's no specific training needed for hauling garbage so all it takes is to be in shape and willing to get dirty. Last job we did the boss saw there was a young guy on internet classifieds near the site who was asking for a day or two of basic labor. The guy had his mom drop him off, he did well breaking, hauling, and cleaning, then collected his pay and went home. So many old contractors, landscapers, and professionals just need a guy or two to do the lifting. They pay well and as long as you have your own wheels you don't have to hang around all day or be at the mercy of their drunk driving. In the winter I will probably be shoveling snow which is one way I chose to get exercise even as a NEET. I like breaking ice, it smashes like glass but it is not sharp and sometimes there are coins to mine out. I found a set or horse shoes in the basement at the last job and they belong to me now.

I'm getting $25/h cash, 10 hours a day some days. If I work enough hours in a season I can ask the boss to put my pay on the books.

The working conditions in US jobs are slave tier regardless of office or manual labor. Slavery was still legal here only 50 years ago. Neurotypicals don't handle stress the same way we do by keeping it all in and are constantly letting out their agressions and complaints here and always blame whoever doesn't speak for everything. You can't quiet guy it and do your job, manual labor is all teams of low iq groids talking about sports and getting drunk. Office environment is the same groids except in an open-office panopticon you are constantly mentally exhausted because you know everyone else is watching everything you do and say. If you don't feel like speaking that day and ignore a coworker it might get you fired if they complain. Having a threat like that constantly looming over you and in your mind daily is insanity inducing. It's literally better to be a beggar homeless or a 0 money neet than work in US as a wiz. Especially now with a world war on the news 24/7 groids are more hostile and stressed out than ever.

It still confuses me to read this. What "desk jobs" are there for programmers? Is software engineer/developer considered a desk job? What else is there? Is there some sort of magical desk job that lets you more or less fade into the background doing your job while paying you enough to live alone? Being something like an engineer/developer seems to carry so much responsibility and requires absurd amounts of technical knowledge, technical skills, and interpersonal skills to blend in with normals at a level that is harder to do in most other areas of life. I just don't know what other entry-level jobs exist for "programmer" other than engineer or developer that you could get just by knowing the basics.

I got this job through my relatives right after 4 years of neeting in high school and it's been hell for me considering i never had to work with my hands and handle tools before.

The shittiest part out off all of this is that i have to keep working in order to not be homeless or starve and i don't have any time to learn new skills or plan for my future in order to make my life easier and not have to break my back and spare all of my free time away from home for a slightly above minimum wage in a 3rd world eastern european shithole.

Succubi will go to great lengths to justify their shitty behavior. Case in point: I work for a bank's digital support department and this guy calls in to get his cards activated for Apple Pay because he got new cards after he went on a date and the succubus that he was with stole his cards. I felt for the guy and helped him get his cards verified and he was thankful. My coworkers overheard the convo and one of the succubi said "he probably asked her to go Dutch and she got mad"…

This is how I usually handle the majority of normalfag confrontations since they always have some type of advantage or upper hand over me and they usually hate it when you give them voided reactions that they can't get off to and talk shit about to their circle-jerk social group later on. I guess in this case I was extremely worn out and depressed from the job. I'm getting to the point where I'm growing very tired of letting normalfags walk all over me as I did for most of my life as over time it just turns into bottled up anger that's bound to blow at some point.

There's a guy at my job that most everyone seems to like, he's 'the funny guy.' I haven't really talked to him much myself, so I often wondered why people like him as much as they do. Today he was working in my area for a good portion of the day, and being in the vicinity of his conversations I figured it out: he's a hyper-consumer with a zany, jokey "personality." He listens to nearly every kind of music, watches the most popular shows, and plays all the flavor-of-the-month video games, all while firing off self-deprecating jokes at regular intervals. He does basically everything a well-trained normalfag is expected to do, to the point where I can hardly consider him an actual human being. Of course, this all seems to win him big brownie-points with all the other normals at work.

It's actually kind of funny in a way, I can camouflage myself well enough around most of my co-workers. I can have small conversations and even joke with them on occasion, and sort of get away with pretending that I'm a 'normal' person like them, but the one guy who can somewhat sniff me out just happens to be arguably the biggest normalfag of the bunch.

Well too bad, we won't give you any free time so you're going to have to take at least 3 years to do so because you can only study 30 minutes a day or some other ridiculously short amount of time. It's just a trap you can't get out of once you fall for it once, you're fucked if you didn't happen to notice things early on in high school and spend your time giving yourself markeatable skills, and it's really fucking hard to notice when everybody around you is a partygoing fool who doesn't give a damn about such things.

The truth is there's little value to all the free time you have as a kid doing kid shit when it's done to the point of gluttony, I would've been fine with 10 hours a week on the playstation instead of 40.

I touched on this a bit in another thread, but when I was growing up I really enjoyed creative pursuits. Unfortunately, most adults around me at the time often discouraged or blocked me from engaging in interests like drawing or comedy. I still regret not trying a little harder to get what I wanted, but it often feels like it's too late to try.

Right now, for instance, I'm really debating whether or not I should buy myself an acoustic guitar. I don't have very much time to practice, but I'm fairly certain I would enjoy it. Aside from that, part of me wants to use music as a possible escape from waging, seeing as plenty of people make money from entertaining on Youtube and Twitch and so forth. The biggest issue is that I wonder if I wouldn't just be wasting my time, since I can hardly ever practice and I don't have time for lessons. So I doubt I could become skilled enough to make a decent amount of money and leave the wageslaving behind. If nothing else, I would just like to have something to work towards that I actually care about.

I don't want to disencourage you if that's what you really want to do but trying to make a living with anything creative is a waste of time in most cases.

You have to consider time, it takes a lot of time to get skilled and then it might take years to get a decent following and the older you are the harder this will hit you. You also have to do way more work than you would with a 9-5 job and making music is just a piece of it, you are also required to network with people on top of a lot of other stuff to reach any success.

Then there's also the fact that a huge amount of other people are doing the same, most creative things are oversaturated at this point. Once you make your social media profiles you will feel like you just entered a new world full of people who are trying to do the same as you and most of them are not successful, the only way to rise above them is by having a huge work ethic and not even then you have any guarantee that it will go anywhere and if it does you will have to stay on the grindstone in a very persistent way.

I'd say try it to gain experience and definitely do it if its your passion but be prepared for all of this, the successful artists on twitch and youtube have usually been doing it for years to reach their following.

I remember an episode on the Matt Walsh show when he was talking about this in regards to his own career. He maintained that the 9-5 is the path of least resistance in life and is the easy route, and creative/alternative careers like he has are harder to achieve and maintain.

I think maintaining passion for it is probably the hardest thing. With being a Lawyer or a Doctor it's clear feedback and a clear, deadset career path. Being a musician or an artist or a youtuber often means you're eating shit with no positive feedback for like five years to a decade before you have some degree of success.

 No.267280

Trying to be a musician for money is a waste of time in like 95% of cases.

That said if you enjoy playing the guitar you should fucking do it, just because you like it, that's reason enough to do anything really.

Anyone been thinking/reflecting on property as debt? It may seem strange,but think about it: ownerships of estate impplies taxation.

Housing pre-1980 was considered a depreciating asset, like cars are today. It was considered a safe investment with small returns as a landlord, and was only worth it if you could scale it up with dozens or hundreds of investment properties. Land in itself was always valued, but the housing on top of it was just an aggregate of the materials and labour that went into it and depreciated over time, and was nothing special. Ask people back in the 1970s about speculating on housing and they'd look at you strangely and say "Why, they can just build more?"

People don't realize how historically weird and strange this anomaly of housing being this super valued investment asset is.

Not that anon but property does indeed keep you pretty fucking poor for the first 5-10 years of your mortgage.

You guys are probably right, I'm not likely to make a decent living off of music, especially with the US economy steadily declining. In truth, I was considering engaging in two major projects: the first being the music, then a bit later on I was going to make a Youtube channel dedicated mostly to reviewing my favorite shows episode by episode. However, I'm not sure that either will truly free me from my current circumstances. I may not be successful in either case, but both projects are things that I would be genuinely passionate about and engaged in, so I think I'm just going to dive in and do it. Worse case scenario, I go back to planning (and carrying out) my suicide, but at least I can go out knowing I gave it a real, honest try. Wish me luck, wizzies.

What shows do you have in mind to review?

 No.267379

>>267371
Mostly science-fiction shows. Stuff like Star Trek, Stargate, Babylon 5, Farscape, etc. I would review them based mostly on the quality of the storytelling, dialogue, and acting, not as much on production/prop/set quality, seeing as some of the shows I would be reviewing are roughly 50 years old (Star Trek: TOS) and some of these things simply don't age well. I would examine which episodes or scenes I think are good or bad and give my views on why I think so. Depending on how long it takes for me to record and edit a review, I may branch out to other shows, movies, and other forms of entertainment. I also wanted to utilize an avatar or mascot for privacy, because I don't care to show my face online. I don't know how many people would actually be interested in watching someone review old shows rather than the new ones, seeing as most people want to keep up with what's current, but I still think it could be fun to do. Plus, the people who do watch my videos would likely be people who share some of my interests, so that might be nice too.

Also, I did go through with buying the guitar. I'm having fun playing it thus far. Of course I have to pace myself since my fingers aren't calloused yet, so I can only play a few minutes here or there before I need a break. It's still a lot of fun to experiment with it though, and I look forward to learning more about how to play and maybe compose my own songs sometime in the future.

Is it normal to have no free time whatsoever as a full-time wageslave? It's my first time working 40 hours a week so I don't know if it's just the shift I work or what, but I work from 14:00-23:00 and I can't do fuck all on a work day. I can't do anything late at night without waking my dad who also works and is asleep by the time I come home. So I just go to bed as soon as I get home to try and have my day in the morning. But I have an hour long commute and get home at quarter past midnight, so even then the earliest I can realistically wake up is like 9:00, and I always end up lying there in bed for a half-hour before I can force myself to get up. I barely have enough time to shower, make a half-decent breakfast and clean up afterwards. Forget any kind of entertainment or leisure, or anything outside of the usual that might need doing.

Fresh wageslave here, I’m probably going to be hated for this but I honestly don’t feel horrible.
It may only have been 1.5 months but I can confidently say that my job in a local store (11 bucks an hour) is a million times better than college. I finally bit the bullet and dropped out against the will of my parents and I haven’t been this happy in years.
I work 2 weeks a month as that’s all I need (I have very few expenses other than rent and food), but not having to worry is what I love.
When in college I never truly had any time off (civil engineering) and I was always stressing to the point of heartburn over exams and falling behind.
Now I just live in the moment; when I get off work I am finally free to live. I walk in the woods, I fish, I play video games or whatever else I feel like.
My family wants me to finish this education and get a well paying job so I can start a family but I am happy like this. I don’t even know what I would do with the pay from a full-time job, as is I have about 200 bucks over every month that I save up (have about 5k saved up as emergency fund).
Fuck college, I am never going back that shit was actually fucking killing me.

I'm 26 year old who neeted basically since high school and man I just hate working full time even though it's been 2.5 months I yearn for my previous neet life. Most people waste it playing the same old vidya and watching YT junk but I spent it reading and growing as a person.

The good thing though is I drive my dad's old truck. Its a small truck which can hold 4 pallets. The best part about this job I usually wake up at 7 am and come home at 4 pm sometimes even earlier (been days when I come back 12 pm cuz' there's no work for me). I can take a break or two whenever I want if I drive by a cool shop I can stop by and check it out. Haven't been told off yet. I listen to podcasts most of time and sometimes music and normie radio. I've worked factory jobs before and this blows it out the water. Only problem is loneliness which I don't mind since I'm a virgin neet. I am used to my isolation.

So yeah neets buy a van or truck and look into courier work but don't go for a big company I joined the biggest and they worked me to the bone to the point where I had a mental breakdown so yeah work for a small company which has like only one office they'll usually have a client or two they want to keep happy which means not a lot of afternoon work and you may luck out like me.

I think a good thirty percent of jobs are useless. A lot of white collar work especially is make-believe work, only necessitated by government regulations. Covid literally served as the proof in the pudding of this theory, society locked down and most people stayed at home, and the engine of society kept turning just fine. "Unskilled" almost became short hand for "essential worker" because of how closely the two are correlated.

I sort of theorize that large portions of the upper professional classes are not as necessary or valuable as people think, and under a natural free market most of those jobs would fetch some pretty mediocre wages. Lawyers are the most obvious example. Law has become increasingly spaghetti and bloated over the years. Healthcare is probably the most egregious example, taking a huge chunk of national budgets at the same time a lesser quality service is being delivered. You just have to talk to boomers about how easy it was to get a leg surgery in the 1960s compared to today, and this is despite the staff employed in the sector increasing by a factor of ten. Take away the regulations, and your average guy could be a pharmacist (it's literally a glorified barista tier job), your average guy could sell insulin medicine. Yeah sure, surgeons will always be in high demand and valued, but doctors coasting by in a GP handing out scripts to the same boomers would find themselves having to do something productive.

State interference nowadays only seems to create jobs for the upper middle class and above. Gone are the days of the communism and fascism as political forces, where the state interfered in the market in the name of the average man and supported the average man. There's a generalized feeling that the average person is useless now, in the eyes of the government and in the eyes of business, and there's a contempt for actual labour now all through society, despite labour still being the force that keeps society turning. Every time a new government program gets announced, it always sucks up the otherwise unemployable, somewhat educated white succubi. It's very rare that you'll see pointless niches created for the lower classes, and if you do, it's the most dehumanizing shit possible, like a Covid security guard that has to stand all day in a mask outside a government building or supermarket. Basically like an employed jester that stands all day pointlessly in a ritual of self humiliation.

There's an uneasy alliance between the state, industry and academia to prop up an artificial class of people that would be menial wagies, literally doing jobs like pumping gas, without state interference. Western societies are at the point where we could easily have a 4-5 hour work day if it wasn't for this 20-30% of the population in pointless jobs and 15% as NEETs/single moms.

They waste the time of normal people and intentionally try to mislead NEET's at every step via the internet. Just look at boomers, they all become some sort of ridiculous clown with braindead takes on society and politics in general the moment they quit their jobs and get on pension, this is because of intentional dumbing down and disinformation, which they are extremely vulnerable to due to being suddenly thrust into a position where they have a shitload of free time and nothing to dump it on, as well as general illiteracy when it comes to compuutorz and the internet, as well as it's culture.

This too, I hate to give the reason to normies but jobs are also an emotional/social necessity, not just an economic one, people with jobs are way more likely to be busy and don't try to question things or try to overthrow certain elites, most revolutionary movements start from people that had a fuckton of free time to think about things besides wageslaving tomorrow, having so many people unemployed would be bad for society, that's why artificial jobs exist.

Also in a more personal level having a relatively decent job that I don't hate is good motivation to wake up in the morning and do things to improve myself, instead of just rotting in bed when I was a NEET, like it or not work itself is necessary to lead a healthy life, even Marx said it, he was against exploitation not against labor itself.

Had a meeting yesterday where supervisor said that we have a new org manager who's watching us closely and wants us to up our metrics. Also discussed rumors of layoffs coming since quarterly earnings were down and a document suggesting it got leaked. Layoffs at all the big tech companies are accelerating. My uncle who was a senior engineer at Amazon just got laid off.

I saw this coming from a mile away. Years of accumulated debt and unsustainable business practices are getting BTFO by the credit crunch, which is only getting started. But in my typical fashion I did nothing to prepare for it, perhaps because I don't mind being NEET for a while.

Manufacturing automation has been pretty slow since the 1990s, the largest chicken processing plant here might get one new machine every year or two. Software in manufacturing plants here are pretty legacy, all the computers are running windows 98-ME on their servers and the GUI clearly shows it was rolled out twenty years ago, and you can tell there's been no improvements. The marginal improvements in manufacturing has come down to shaving time off the JIT system. Logistics have become tighter and tighter due to computers, but the actual manufacturing process isn't much different. Amazon basically achieved its success through turning their logistic workers into total wageslaves, not by some wondrous new manufacturing technology.
