How's trucking as a career? If I absolutely have to work, I figured being a trucker might be my best bet cause there's very little interaction with people.

There's local small goods trucking you can do around a city. That just requires a smaller licence, but it pays basically a little better than retail work.

It's very low stress and because you're always moving goods in and out, it's not as unhealthy as long haul.

I'm agnostic. Just when you are raised Christian the fear of hell takes a deep root and it's there forever. The god of the old testament and the actions of the Jews in it is abhorrent.

Christianity believe that the devil is in charge of earth. Horrors like the zionist Epstein is all part and parcel to the devil owning the earth. God gave humans self-agency and free will. But humans are inherently evil, so our world is evil.

Again I'm agonistic and have no will for a religious debate. I was simply mentioning I personally fear hell, despite not even knowing if it exists.

That picture of the little succubus praying to an arranged set of crosses made of soda boxes always gets me thinking. It's such an uncanny combination of cultural artifacts, having this child mentally calling for the image of a dead Iron Age religious leader while kneeling in front of canned high fructose corn syrup. The soul-sucking fluorescent lights in the background and the commentary of the mother, who no doubt brainwashed the child to this behavior, talking as if somehow praying to Jesus was the succubus's own idea, create a jarring image that makes my head spin. And of course, every single vertical surface is covered in ads.

Then I start thinking this is all happening due to the gravitational collapse of enormous clouds of dust, molecular hydrogen, and helium into stars. Balls of ionized gas ongoing nuclear fusion, burning light elements into heavier ones. And here we have a small terrestrial pile of galactic debri orbiting around a big pile of burning hydrogen, with this child calling for a man long dead. Not the greatest minds in the world could invent a tragicomedy of such monumental, bizarre proportions. What is all this fucking stuff? It doesn't matter how much you study chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology. It doesn't matter how much you think you know. When you look at the world seriously and completely focused, everything is so fucking strange.

Self employment would be ideal but it's harder to effectuate in practice than it sounds in theory. You need to do quarterly taxes, submit a business plan, register trademarks (if applicable), figure out how to sell your stuff and how to do stuff like withold sales tax for people. Most of that stuff can be handled by paying people for a service but then you need to have income. Depending on what you do you may also have other regulatory requirements like insurance/bonds that also cost money and therefore require you to be making money effectively. The last and most unfortunate part is that no matter what you do, you cannot get money from people without interacting with those people somehow. Even if you just do an email customer service with internet shop you will still have to answer their questions and deal with all the bullshit that the broken people will try to pull on you.

In most places, dust is all that's left in the rivers, but you can still harvest the dust. You spend all day panning stuff until you get black sand mixed with gold dust then you spend another day picking the tiny bits of gold out of the black sand manually. It's shit work but I think I have figured out how to get my living expenses to practically zero by living in my car on public land. I bought an EV with this in mind so that I can charge at free chargers and spend zero dollars on fuel. My only expenses will be phone/internet and food. I calculate I should need to find approximately three quarters of a gram of gold per week (3g a month) to sustain this lifestyle. Also, despite being shit work, it sounds to me to be infinitely preferable to slaving for normalfags.

Seeing inbred witness fucking normies thrive and be promoted to managerial positions at my age (or roughly) makes my skin crawl, and this is not mere plain butthurt. You read and listen to them everyday - they won't shut the fuck up nor stop bragging about it. I don't see how I'm not fit considering the fucking retards they are, but then again, without normalfaggot networking and ass licking in this world for one is hard to come up.

I'm moving soon and I'm planning to save up enough cash to move and be NEET for a few months. I'm nearly there, but unfortunately my job is becoming fucking unbearable. From the time I get settled in at my station until the time I clock out, I'm constantly bombarded with bullshit from every direction. Half the people I work with speak little-to-no English, and dump a bunch of their work on me. I've been given a lot more responsibility (but no extra pay) since I started, so I'm constantly moving, basically doing the job of three people by myself every single day, and it's wearing me down mentally and physically. On top of that, the higher ups have installed metal detectors and will be hiring security guards, as well as taking away our breaks. So soon I will have to get checked at the door in the morning, work for 4 hours straight, get checked on the way to my lunch break and back, work for 4 more hours, then get checked on the way out like a fucking convict. Plus we get shit pay for all of this nonsense. If I can hold out for another month or two, I can spend about 4 or 5 months NEETing and being pretty content, but I don't know if I can really stand this hellish sweat-shop job long enough to make it. I could possibly get another job for a couple months and still be on track more or less, but that's only if I can manage to find something suitable and early enough so I don't miss too many paychecks before I move. Honestly, spending my adult life wageslaving has made me realize exactly why so many people deal drugs, run scams, steal, or otherwise cheat their way through life. Being an honest workingman is a nightmare.

Slight update. Thank the heavens I'm still employed in the same place.
I pray for another year or two at least.

>people that start are better at it after 2 months than I am now.

The guy who started half a year or year after me just became my boss last week.
I'm fine with it, he is chill. Hope I can bear the many upcoming changes…

The previous boss assigned some extra tasks to me this month too.
Felt good about it, despite having a panic attack during one of the presentations I had to give to a succubus on video call.
Hope it means they'll keep me around.

>Would I have the energy if I wasn't a wageslave? Did I? I prefer not to answer myself.

Unfortunately I haven't progressed much in the past 4.5 months. I actually regained a lot of weight too. Health overall is not good.
Days just pass by, I work, I turn my brain off for the rest of the day with no energy.
Weekends feel like time travel. Took a 10 day vacation with the weekends and it passed by like nothing.
It's rather scary. Still no real skills or certifications in case I have to find another way to make a living.

>I'm genuinely shocked to see my coworkers do all this while getting an education, having family, children, working towards cars, homes and whatnot with a ton of hobbies and interests that they also pursue.

Still insane to see. Many coworkers are having kids, some I mentioned spawned even more. So do schooling, some moved up to more technical positions.
Some are making real progress in their hobbies/businesses too.

Wish I had that kind of spark.
Maybe the divine spark in me just needs to be rekindled again somehow. Wish I had the smarts to channel it.

Dishwasher faggot from a few threads back here if anyone remembers me.

I got a job at a sheet metal-powder coating business, so far it's alright but I'm still so disgusted at working full time; it's suicidal inducing to just spend 40 hours a week staring at the decaying walls under the flouresent lights.


The pay's good, and the co-workers are older (youngest is 30) white guys; I just can't help but feel like I'm wasting my life and I have nothing to live for, like being in a waiting room for years or something.


Just a slow grinding decline into madness and bitterness.

I've worked at Amazon before, it's pretty easy work. Nobody there will really bother you unless you bother them. It's warehouse work they'll probably be in the same or similar position to you. If you can get inbound dock and work on unloading the trucks its a nice gig.

Update: I quit that job. A co worker was stabbed and I decided I'm not risking that. It's literally slightly over min wage which doesn't amount to anything given the stress involved. It's also either extremely boring or extremely stressful. Sometimes I have to stand for 3 hours + straight in the same area directing customers who either don't listen or don't even speak the native languages of my country. Every 10 minutes feels like an hour. When it's not boring is when I'm forced to follow a thief in the store and note down what they're stealing so we can build a case on them, the issue is I'm in uniform so they notice me and often want to fight me. I don't even have a flashlight, and we have "stab" proof vests from Temu that my boss showed me he could poke a hole through with a pen if he stabbed hard enough. He calls himself the John Wick of "company name". I'm out, not sure what I'll do next as it's so hard to find work
