Be adult

...

And as long as casuals pay it, or get their parents to pay it, it will continue. Rev up those torrents.

Good goy

...

...

pff, you aren't an adult, you're a teenager with a part time job

Obligatory

like pottery

...

After twelve years of NEETdom, the sudden jolt into having a job is pretty neat, if only, at the very least, for the novelty. I can do all sorts of shit I was unable to do previously, like reconnect with nature and shit because I can actually escape the city now.

...

Where's the "Playing video games passes time while I wait for my heart to stop beating" phase?

and I wouldn't have it any other way

You gotta explain what's wrong about that.

What are you gonna do when your parents die?

Kill himself like the worthless sack of shit he is, obviously.

probably die myself ;^)

I have the opposite problem. I can't put more than an hour into a game because as I'm getting older I get tired more easily. I find myself playing more NES & 90's games that I can pick up easier.

That's what shitposting on imageboards is for.

Videogames have about the same value as a pulp magazine. Only pay for them if the prices are low enough, it's not an industry that deserves any kind of incentive to keep existing as is.

may as well enjoy yourself

...

Both of mine were commies, I don't have much to disappoint since they were both disappointments anyways.

...

Make yourself useful and post more.

I'm sorry user, I don't have a mommy to give me free rent and nuggies. Care to share yours?

...

im black so i can only offer you chitlins and greens

Chitlins are good, but maws are better. Have that, some ham hocks and black eyed peas. Man, I'm starting to miss home cooking.

...

...

you can always clean pools

you are bad at being a nihilist

Where and how? Im fucking desperate for anything unless if its illegal.

oh and if you live in germany and get a girl pregnant you will get 400 gyros a month until the child dies or is 25

...

Call pools and area and see if they need a pool cleaner. Its not hard, just boring as fuck and the pay is shit.

Continue the tradition user. You'll develop a skill and taste that good old home cooking again.

That would be quite hard considering that I cant swim but I could give it a go anyways, its not like as if I have anything better to do.

When did we start measuring games by how many hours of "content" they have?

...

When I first lived on my own I literally walk around town asking every place if they were hiring. I must have applied to 50 places. If you really want a job you can get one.

I feel even worse for you reading that comment. Jesus man, don't do this to yourself. Yeah work is a drag but waiting until your are older to realize there's no alternative, that you need a job, is a lot worse because you'll be competing with younger more enthusiastic people, who exhale potential in every breath. You'll be the 30+ yo guy who takes orders from a 25yo manager, and worse, doing your job poorly when you are older is less excusable than when you are young.
So don't fall for those sweet lies. Don't convince yourself that being a slob is in any way better than having a boring soul crushing job. The sad reality is that it isn't.

I just wish they sold proper hog cuts up here in yankee hell. Trying to get my hands on jowls is ridiculous, I have to order them online and pay a shipping premium.

Is being a pharmacist a good job? Any more or less soul-sucking than any other job? I'm considering it as my career path.
t. in between highschool and college

>TFW my mom is homeless
>I also know anons who are homeless and browse here

You mean just working the counter? Probably not too bad. Though medical fields that require knowledge tend to be hellish to go through.

Are you homeless?

It pays well but makes you feel like you are an overpaid fast food worker

You mean pharmacist or pharm tech? I had a friend who went pharm tech and he was making $15/hr after like a month of studying, better than working at Subway.

every job will get soul sucking after a while, simply because you have to do it

...

...

do they use mcdonalds wifi with used thinkpads they ordered off ebay?

You think I don't know I need money to live? I've been the manager, I know how it is. You're projecting a little too hard there.

No, I work and go to school. Its actually not hard to pay rent and all necessities as long as you don't waste your money on stupid shit. I survive off of $800 a month, I have even had anons tell me I'm lying and its not possible to live off of that and yet I have no money issues.

I dont want to but I know it has to be done.

Sleep with red, scalp your head. You deserve it, you fucking autistic manchild.

Yes actually. He even saves all of his money in his backpack because he goes to Holla Forums and doesn't trust the banks.

Well if you're poor enough to be homeless, getting a bank account is dumb anyway.

You're either homeless or live outside of a city.

Either that or you're sharing rent which isn't any more cancerous than renting.

Going STEM is always a safe bet. Doesn't mean you'll like your job, but at such a young age who can say for sure they chose the perfect profession? Having something to get you by until you are older, get a sense of who you really are and who you want to be and then pursuing that goal, that isn't so bad and might be the best option for indecise people.
t. user who works on healthcare but realised long after getting too specialised that I dislike dealing with people on a person to person basis more that I like operating. Considering mechanical engineering for the near future. Until then I have a job that more than support my needs and can consider entrepeneuring something. I'm not bragging, just want to stress that being pressured into such an area, when I had fuckall idea of what to do, allowed me some security. Also I wanted to give up many times, glad I didn't, don't know were I would be if younger me clueless as he was tried to take some blind risk. I'm 32 and don't feel too old to start something anew at all.

Not if you have a high IQ job.

lol

Like reviewing Rick and Morty for Patreon?

I can't tell if you're shitposting or not.

You've managed people and now are jobless and avoiding work? What happened?

That leaves me with enough extra to save for personal shit. I even live in Cali where everything is super expensive.
Once you get the kike out of your head telling you to buy useless shit it is easy.

Here's some real career advice: git gud at paperwork and pick up a degree that says as much.
Businesses love to offload their paperwork, and all high-level employment is mostly paperwork and paperwork tracking.

This. Getting a degree in a STEM field just isn't worth it unless you REALLY want it and don't mind being paid fuck all.

You should try population genetics or epidemiology which is related to health but you don't actually have deal with people and they both pay well.

would rather kill myself tbh

Company merged and got downsized. I've been playing vidya ever since.

...

Really makes your twirly swirlies.

Its either that or throw at least 200 away a month. I take the bus daily but ignore everyone and just study or play vidya.

I'm a part-time janitor, and the rest is covered by unemployment benefits. I have no plans for the future and the best I can expect is a full-time job. I've looked at alternative jobs but there aren't any. It's this or nothing. Not exactly the greatest job in the world.

The fastest way to get a good paying job fast is to learn programing. Its literally the most wanted skill in the world and there are millions more jobs than there are people who can program.

Go get a haircut, a shave, some clean clothes and apply at a supermarket.
They will take ANYONE and they always have staff coming in and out. Dont pussy out, ask for full hours.

I actually love surgery. It would be perfect if I didn't had to endure people who either have depression or any other psychiatric afliction (because they don't get better, EVER, it's like they block any improvement from their minds) or people who don't want to get back to work and keep the dole (a lot even admit that after getting it they go back to work illegally because gibsmedat are not enough), and I'd say those two groups comprise 50+% of patients. The other 50% are mostly not all surgical cases so I'm also drained by them.

Then what I said still applies. Not projecting, man. But if things were as hard as they were for me back then, when I actually worked like mad, I can only imagine how worse it would have been if I had "taken a break". I legit feel sory for people who unironically call others wage slaves.

There's no IT jobs here whatsoever, programming or otherwise, not to mention that I'd be close to 40 years old by the time I'd be good enough to apply.

Getting a job's not that hard, I'm not worried at all. If you want to spend all your time working for pennies, then go for it, some of us actually like to enjoy our lives.

What will you do once your mom realizes she needs to dump the leech she has on her?

Also after I started working my personality did a 180 and im not such a mopey whiny shit anymore.
Helping the family keep the fridge full and the bills paid is extremely fulfilling.

I'm sure there are plenty of H4b Indians who can look up the answer on Google.

You don't need money to survive, just save up the bare minimum from your parents and then live in a camper. Use solar panels for energy, plant a garden, poach, and filter rain water. Don't give Shlomo any money by participating in his system.

Get a job?

You might as well just pretend you were casing the bank, the alternative is much funnier

...

You just have to be decent. Its up to you user but I figure it would be worth it to spend a few hours a week learning CS in your free time to get a job in a year or two.

If you're actually serious about getting a job, go ask somebody else. You'll get nothing here.
Nothing but memes and bitterness.
Now check my fucking doubles.

t. Mark Boyle

Chinese companies (including those that operate in America) love to hire American programmers. Funny how companies that are based in America would rather hire Pajeet for 3 rupees an hour or some freakish otherkin while chinks do more for american programmers and technology in general than jewgle, amazon, apple, microsoft and facebook.

My mom will have to shoot me first. I am clinging to that bitch until she dies.

I started from A in the phone book and called every business I could. People appreciate that kind of initiative, and even if some people didn't have openings, they would give me the contact details of people who might. It's pretty good, give it a go.

nice try

Someone's bitter.

With a high IQ job you can also skip school and learn the trade on the side while trying to enter a business with the highest high IQ people, being surrounded with this much IQ you'll increase your skill and on hand knowledge so fast you'll get a bunch of promotion and guaranteed future employment in case the company goes under, (you'll be one of the last to get fired so you better quit on your own to find better pay). Skipping school allows you to avoid the low IQ people and women that are dumb enough to go in debt for a piece of paper, you can also avoid the forced "respect women" courses which is a big plus in any cases, even in big corporations (except Google), the HR department may hate you for your unabashed chauvinism (and secretly masturbate to you), for not having been trained to respect women and refusal to bash Trump, but the sheer amount of problem solving, fast task completion, babying clueless people will make you an indispensable asset that only truly fallen people (Google) can ignore.

Video games are bad, that's why they don't sell.

are you implying that this is restricted to jobs? That's standard operating procedure for everything on Holla Forums.

WHERE ARE THE VIDEO GAMES?!

This meme got old in 2012.

It's extremely embarrassing to apply for a job you aren't qualified for, and in any case there are no jobs here and probably never will be. They're all concentrated in other cities.

Nah.

When I think about becoming a wageslave I remember my money is going to be stolen and spent on communism and jews anyway.
I'd rather become the communist and have someone's wealth redirected to me by welfare, that's being at the top of society.

I wish you the best user. Can't say you're on a good track though. To me "enjoying life" can't be disenfranchised from "financial stability". I don't mean "rich", just stability. You can be happy earning little if you have your priorities straight. But sitting on your butt sure that "something will turn up" might not be a good plan, especially when you are reaching for 40 instead of 30.

$60 for 10-15 hours of content is fine, so long as the game is good and isn't just a one & done. In which case, what the fuck are you even doing buying shit you're never going to play again? Just rent or pirate nigger.

If you're going to play it multiple times, then 10-15 hours is honestly stretching things a bit. I got bills to pay, rent to make, and food to cook. Ain't nobody got time for that shit. I'd rather pay $60 for a game that's fun an has near infinite replayability, and which I can sit down with and have access to the full "experience" within five minutes of turning the system on. I don't mean beating the game, but they need to cut the bullshit between you and full access to the core mechanics substantially. The game can take hours to beat, that's fine, but these kind of slow-burn cinematic experiences are fucking cancer.

So? Whats the worst that is going to happen, you get hurt feelings because you get denied? why would you be applying for jobs you obviously aren't qualified for?

Don't be that guy who posts stale memes, user.

I recognize her it is Anri Okita if I'm not mistaken. I have never seen this particular scene of her though, this calls for an investigation.

So this is the power of Kizuna Ai fans.

It helps to be in school or working so you don't feel like a waste of space on your family, as well as the self loathing rising over time. The main shitty feeling from working is the realization that you're now helping to pay into the programs abusing you and targeting you due to your race/class.

on this note, law is also really only useful in the country you learned it in and it gets even more specialized when it comes to state law, county law, patent law, trade law, diplomatic law etc. Programming is useful almost anywhere with a massive variety of applications and you don't have to be autistically specialized like in law.

Which is why you work for an East Asian or Australian company

That's cute user.

Why do faggots like you act like you know how everyone thinks and feels?

This is a problem exclusive to western europe (sans ebinland). Eastern Europe and ebinland are full of job opportunities and companies that just want to make a good product.

That's why noone can get a job, even the H4b Indians.

Whatever man, if you want to keep exploiting your parents to have your easy life, that's on you, I don't give a fuck. It's you they're gonna hate, not me.

Why is eastern europe full of job opportunities? Is it because they're all trying to go to western europe?

Good vidya is occasional at best, user. The majority of AAA titles will drop to 30$ USD in 3-6 months, and by then any hype will have died down to allow you to see if the game is of merit. G2A & other resalers offer sizeable discounts on launch, I would check out that if I were you. Oh, not to mention there's pirating and renting available as an option. Generally, my advice is to not me such a retarded consumer.

You'll pick it up once and never again, as in reality, it's fucking ephemeral trash designed to waste your time & test your patience.

But can you roll around at the speed of sound?

I still can't believe No Guy Buy is $60, especially after updates have improved the game and given people actual reason to want to buy it. Not $60 worth of reasons of course, but it's just really fucking stupid.

Nice job.
now post pics, if she was worth creeping on in public then

You can have my shitty dead end job. Please take it from me. PLEASE

The reason for this is because the economy sucks now. Getting ANY professional level job is a huge pain in the ass now, if you don't already have experience. They want 1-2 years experience for entry level positions in virtually everything. Companies are extremely risk averse when the economy is shit. Recent economic gains have been mostly for the top 1% lately. The job market is the same or only slightly better for everyone else, at best.

I may honestly have the dumbest luck on the planet.

Nah, after Obongo told everyone to become a programmer everybody including pajeets flooded the market and completely fucked it.

Actually you have to be very high IQ to understand jobs.

He was a hippie with a natural talent for marketing, is there something difficul to understand?

What is "dead end job" suppose to mean any way?

A job is a job, it lets you survive. It's an end, not a means.

It means a job that will never take you anywhere. You aren't gonna get promoted, make contacts, move up the corporate ladder, etc.

Why would you want to do any of those things though?

To get more shekels faster.

You earn what you are worth.

Someone flipping burgers will never get as much shekels as a doctor.

If you feel like you're in a "dead end job", then go get another job?

this is the most obviously underage post I've seen all day.

Commie detected.

burger flippers aren't really dead end since you move up and become a store manager then district manager and so on if you so choose. dead end jobs are the ones where you get it and there's no mobility for you at all like assembly line worker or call center drone

That's not true, and you know it. The vast majority of people out there are wholly unqualified for the positions they hold. Partly this has to do with networking and knowing people who can get you the cush jobs - but mostly it's because people get promoted above their aptitude. There's also the matter of seniority where co-workers who are less skilled will get first pick for a job over someone who hired in later - simply because they've been there longer. Employees with seniority are also less likely to be laid off/fired when it comes time to cut the fat (unless they're within 5 years of retirement and there's a pension involved - in which case, you best consider retiring early and taking what you can get).

None of this probably applies to professional workplaces - and more applies to shit manual labor jobs, which is all I've ever had

be me:
-quit med school because what i really want to do, is work like a normal person BUT not too much because i like time to do shit, like playing vydia and i actually play a lot, and work because i like to have money to buy stuff
-So i quit, got a wife, my child was born, thankfully i chose a good wife that loves to take care of my kid, not that i don't but wake at night because of him crying only did once because shit got real, don't like to wake in the middle of night
-So i got a store, have some employees that work for me and i do almost nothing, get the money, get the time to play vydia
-Have work, house, family and time to play vydia
-I regret nothing, this is what i always wanted

Pretty ironic coming from someone who has clearly never held a job in their life.

real adults collect neetbux kiddo
maybe grow up

around the time we realized that games aren't actually enjoyable and accepted that they're tools to kill time until we die i dunno fam

You must be at least 18 to post here

this photograph is shooped. i can tell from the pixels and from seeing quite a few "shops" in my time

Culinary. On the outside, it's beautiful. Gorgeous plates of delicious food. How hard could it be, right? Go to work, make food for a bunch of people, and you might get to walk away with some tips.

On the inside, you realize too late that it requires a certain dedication to rectifying imperfection. Like most jobs, it takes a lifetime to truly git gud at it, but unlike some career paths, it requires some level of physical acceptance of pain and stress. It's torturous, fast-paced, high intensity, and incredibly punishing of mistakes. Especially baking: you don't know if you fucked your food up until it's done or halfway done baking, and by then it's too late. Cuts, burns, bruises, sore backs, long hours, LOTS of coffee… You're constantly moving around, working, cooking, prepping, cleaning, lifting, restocking; even when you're not busy, you're still busy prepping for when you are or cleaning for the guy who's scared of the health inspectors coming and shutting you down.

Every industry has some level of pain associated with it. A small handful of lazy faggots can destroy all of your hard work in a heartbeat. In a restaurant, you're simply more prone to see those effects more immediately like when some raging faggot customer finds a fucking hair in their undercooked food and starts screaming at a manager, rather than computer/network/engineering where you run into bugged code a month down the line.

I do recommend that you learn to cook. It's a wonderful life skill, you'll save a shitload of money over takeout and instant meals (except ramen, but you can learn to make better sauce than the shitty salt packets they give you), and you might even impress your waifu if you experiment and try to have fun with it. A plate of food really can be edible art, and the tastes and aromas are just another tool for your canvas. I know, that's kinda faggoty

You can also just go to work with dessert to share and tell your boss "Here, you should my chocolate salty balls in your mouth," and they can't fire you for it.

Pictures very fucking related. Chicken wings with handmade sauces, candied ginger. If you ever find a place that lets you experiment and have fun while selling your creations, never let it fucking go.

Also, and I'm not saying go vegan or organic or any of that shit, but eat fresh foods. More natural. Less artificial. Balance and moderation in all things. Don't be a fuckwit like I was 10 years ago, and don't treat your body like a landfill; you are what you eat, but you're also what your food eats.

...

Good post.

But fast food is fucking delicious and requires no effort from me.

Why should I learn to cook when I can get food instantly + it tastes good + I have a fast metabolism so no matter how much McDonalds I eat I'll never get fat.

I hate having to spend half an hour to cook my own shit.

You can actually go up in call centers if its the Right kind. If you are business focused ( as in you are calling business owners NOT random faggots) you can be promoted to team manager and than sales rep

i was in a survey taking call center for all of 2 days and that was min.wage hell i wouldn't wish on anyone.

instead of spending at least 600 a month on takeout you make the exact same shit at home for like $60 and then you can have something to brag about and show off when you talk about what you wasted money on instead of saying "yea i stuff half a thousand down my own mouth each month"i do the same thing i need to stop

Not really. You lose a ton of subtly to the flavors since fast food loads up on fat, salt, sugar, and spices to overwhelm your tastebuds and mask the fact that you're eating garbage. Eating healthy gives you a far wider range of flavors to experiment with - and an appreciation for those flavors.

Also, it doesn't rot a fucking hole in your gut and make you feel like a sweaty lethargic cunt a half hour later the way fast food does.

I was mainly talking about getting jobs based purely on merit when all you've done is graduate college. That's nothing special. You got lucky if you didn't have any prior experience or know someone who could get you in somewhere.

Those taco wings with the lime wedge were popular, but the ranch parmesan wings were fucking KILLER. I caught servers sneaking a couple and had to smack a few bitches around. I forgot exactly how to make most of the sauces, but holy shit.

>thai red curry with coconut milk and Fireball

I mean, if you want to kill yourself by 45 with McShit and waste all of your goddamn money. I relish the opportunity to come home and make a food because not only is it more delicious and filling, it's actually much healthier. Not only because you can use healthier ingredients, fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and wild-caught seafood, but also because you have the choice of avoiding food grown with potentially harmful business practices.

Do you know the effects of overuse of antibiotics on livestock in corporate farms? Did you know that Roundup, which saturates the ground in many farms, is potentially linked to cancer? Are you aware of the links between fast food, obesity, and diseases and disorders like cancer or diabetes?

Did you know that your metabolism slows down after about the age of 25? If you're still pounding down a daily McGangBang at the age of 30 and not gaining any weight, go see a goddamn doctor.

Again. If you treat your body like a landfill, you will only ever feel like garbage. Drink lots of actual water tea and coffee in some amount are good for you, too. Try to eat some healthy food. Exercise. Cut down on snacks and fast food. Moderation: sweets and fast food are fine, but you're wasting so much opportunity by just eating shit all the time.

And if your excuse is just being lazy, then that's worse. You can spend that 30 minutes making three meals, and it's surprisingly easy. Here's a fucking easy one, even for you.

>salt and pepper that shit like Marina SHAKE SHAKE

5 fucking minutes of work. If you want meat, just pour canned bread crumbs into a tupperware container with herbs and spices, shake some chicken breast in it, sear the outside in a pan with oil, and bake that in a pyrex dish for about 25 minutes. Another 5 minutes of work.

That's 10 minutes of work overlapping with part of the cook time, and 5 more minutes of cleanup, and you have dinner, plus lunch for tomorrow. It literally takes the same amount of time to drive out to a fast food place, wait in line, pay twice as much money for half that much food, and come back to stuff your face with a greasy burger that has little to no nutritional value.

Almost got me.

Though, yeah, broiled broccoli crowns (sliced carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini) with olive oil and garlic is fucking crispy and amazing.

White ethnostate when?

Cauliflower > broccoli

You forget to count buying the ingredients as work, which takes as long if not longer by itself as does going to fast food. You can stock up to a certain extent, but only if you are cooking every single day otherwise it goes bad before you can use it.

As for cost, I can't argue your particular meal plan but I've always found eating out to be cheaper than eating at home overall. Even when I make something as basic and scalable as a stew, I wind up spending about $30 on a pot that's lucky to last 3 days (and would spoil afterward anyway). Plus it's at least an hour of setup, plus cleanup, plus all day cooking so it's not even ready when I need it.

Cauliflower is for deep frying, broccoli is for steaming.
Both taste amazing though.

It's how I learned to love fucking brussel sprouts. Cut them in half, cut out the stem, drizzle oil on a sheet of foil with salt and pepper on it, then put the sprouts face-down on them and bake about the same time as before. Also, I like to sprinkle parmesan on my veggies when they're about 5 minutes from done.

Cauliflower + Broccoli + Peeled Garlic = Win

You'd be surprised what you can buy and how long it lasts; as much fresh food as I eat, there's a lot that lasts for weeks in a fridge, months in a freezer, or years in a pantry. You can get a lot of jarred, canned, frozen, or dry things that last for a very long time. A single box of mac and cheese, a box of butter, and some milk make two meals and cost you a total of 5 dollars; each box of generic brand mac is a dollar, and you can use the milk and butter multiple times. You can customize it if you want to spare the extra ingredients, because shredded cheese isn't that expensive, and herbs and spices last a while if you use them appropriately.

Just scale down your meals, man. Either scale down how much you cook and eat, or get some friends and cook for them and make those fuckers clean up after you slave over a hot stove for them. Ungrateful fucks. Every time.

Have you tried mashed cauliflower? Steam it, mash it up, mix it with cream, parmesan or cheddar, and seasoning. It's like low-carb mashed potatoes.

I don't really care about calories in general because I'm the kind that has trouble gaining weight.
Just yesterday I participated in an oil drinking contest.

...
