Both wagie and neet lives are suffering.
There must be a third option.

Dogshit thread
what about the guys who were given an inheritance or won the crypto lottery?
Not taking life like a bitch lying down. Take the reigns instead of being lived. If you have a shit job get another one or start a business. Re-educate if you must. But yes, and not to sound like an old man, it involves getting off your ass and getting out of your comfort zone. The secret is cracking down (on something you actually like doing) for 5-10 yrs until you get yourself in a cushy position. Granted, it takes a little skill and luck but there's a lot possible.
My parents couldn't even pay for my education but I ended up with a uppermiddle class income in a cushy job where I can work the hours I want. It took a bit of suffering and some bold moves, not gonna lie. But there's your third option.
So just be a rich neet? 100 times better than being a poorfag I guess but something is missing
So just be a rich wagie? 100 times better than being a poorfag I guess but something is missing
playing video games is your genius solution to your life being shitty? how about fucking fix it
what does a non shitty life look like?
show me a life worth living in 2025
not being on Anon Babble is probably a day 1 action. not engaging in high octane escapism in general, so get off of all social media, video games, and stop viewing pornography.
30s are when your neurons start slowing down, by 40 you're literally thinking at half speed
you NEED to be playing games in your 30s to make up for the decline
lol, yeah that's what i've tried telling myself too. what a meme.
I love the first part of this just before the demon starts talking, it's very dark reminds me of slowly floating down in the deep dark abyss of the deep sea I wish there was a version with no talking
can't give a straight answer
it be like that
going outside daily
getting sunlight and fresh air
getting some exercise daily
not eating processed foods
basic hygiene
socializing daily
having sex with girl who loves you
this if you have a job, it allows some kind of freedom and creativity, you help people in a tangible way
read good books
idk
its just societal brainwashing.
boomers will cry and piss and shit their pants at you for wasting time playing vidya, then happily spend 4 hours every night watching American Pickers on free to air TV.
Only when my life isn’t in order. When I’m going to the gym and am in good shape, have a good paying job that I don’t hate, and either have a chill gf that shares my lifestyle or hobbies and isn’t drama in my life, I absolutely love vidya and can get lost in every game I play. When everything else is outta whack I’m just a nervous wreck that can’t enjoy the little things in life.
Wear wrist weights in a VR shooter, or dive a car with a steering wheel prop.
Simulate for skill and strength attainment. Worked for me.
There must be a third option.
it exists, its called being so rich that you dont have to work.
extremely lucky. govt snuck inheritance tax in during covid, so nowadays you lose 40% of the assets that your parents leave for you.
also a lot of grey nomad boomers out there spending all their kids inheritance buying 200k RVs and driving around the country for 10 years.
lmao wtf
i do all of those except sex and i am unhappy
My brother made 6 mil from doge. He basically told me I never have to work again. I told him to just hold my portion for me, but it feels good knowing I could leave my job at any point and don’t have to tolerate shit. I just don’t quit because I get really unproductive and turn into a schizo when I don’t have something to work towards. But I realized making someone else money is retarded so I lowered my hours to part time and am going to get into college for business development so I can open my own business, I just don’t wanna be an arrogant fool and tank it by opening one without any form of experience or game plan or knowledge.
No problems here
the sex one is pretty hugely important lol. ideally for procreation.
also go to church weekly
Children with a woman with great personality sounds almost great but why the christcuck shit anon?
All the time
lmao there’s no career path in 2025 that involves hunkering down and getting gud for 5-10 yrs besides maybe programming and that applies to a small fraction of people. Bullshit advice from a bullshit artist
You’ll learn more from 1 month of running a business than whatever classes. If they don’t teach mastering the supply chain, hiring and firing, the production of actual marketing materials, and other tangible, measurable skills and formulas, you’re quite literally wasting your time and money. You should be figuring out costs and if your idea is financially viable and how much start up capital you need and maybe shadowing someone in that industry before you give some boomers money for a pat on the head
intrusive thoughts is such a zoomer ass bullshit thing to say
If you're actually doing what you're supposed to in your life, then you will either:
A: Find some time for video games after completing tasks which are more important, because you happen to be one of the few who *actually* like video games for what they are and don't solely use them for escapism.
B: Find out that they were just an escape for you and drop them like most normies, allowing yourself to fully dedicate to real life.
Nonexistence.
b-but there's no career path
Pathetic excuses to be lazy. I'm not talking about some get rich quick scheme. I'm talking about setting your standards and living by them.
wagie
They can fire me today and I'll get shit lined up next week. A career is like water. You need it to sustain yourself but you can always switch from tap to bottled or another brand. It's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things what you do as long as you like to do it and it allows you to live life as you see fit. Switch it up until it's right. That's what scares most people. Risk nothing, gain nothing. I've lost count of how many jobs I had. And don't want for too much. Time is more precious than money. Always.
No
I get the "gotta go to bed in 3 hours, is it worth booting up now?"
no because ive accepted that ill forever be a loser who works dead end jobs cause neeting isnt really sustainable. i was happiest when i was a worthless neet going to bed at 7am and waking up at 3pm everyday
I used to have those thoughts in my early 20's, but once you suffer enough and see humanity for what it really is, you stop giving a fuck and go back to playing video games.
Thanks anon, I’m gonna reach out to one of my friends. He runs a successful food cart in Oregon and he survived covid and his business is still booming. Gonna see if he can teach me, appreciate the advice.
What else would you do besides play video games? Go to the gym like a gay loser to shorten your lifespan? Work a 9 to 5 soul draining job for prostitute pussy once every 3 months? Pray in church to a jewish demon god of suffering? Go to beach parties to dance with old women and drink alcohol (this one is actually nice desu)?
My plan used to be inherit my rich parents fortune, but they've been spending so much money on such unbelievable boomer garbage and hinting that they're going to leave most of it to charity I think I may be moving to plan b (suicide).
For me it's thoughts about how fucked the world is and how bleak the future seems. It's not just when I'm playing games, it's all the time.
That's why I play mobile slop.
Pop in for a few minutes, make bubble noises, get dopamine, return to the real world.
Those thoughts are happening because you are a loser. If you fix that you won't have them so much.
Despite actually crippling depression and a debilitating marijuana addiction, I actually feel way smarter and sharper than I did in my 20s. I'm turning 35 next month.
It's memed to fuck and back but they're definitely real. OCD fucking sucks.
frogslop
tfw working and planning a having a fiancee eat up most of my time I could spend playing
tfw I'm getting married and will have even less time since I'll study and work
tfw I'm having dogs and then kids in the long run too
I probably won't play video games at all soon.
For me it's either...
Work all day thinking about playing X
Finally get off work
Start to play X
Lose interest in playing X
End up not knowing what to play
Or it's...
Start to play X
Feel bad that I am playing X
"I should play Y instead because I've been putting it off or started it first"
Start to play Y instead
Feel bad that I am playing Y
"I should play Z instead because I've been putting it off or started it first"
Start to play Z instead
Feel bad that I am playing Z
Because really in the mood to play X
End up wasting the day jumping between games
play game
"I should be doing x"
do x
guilt leaves
tiring starts
"I did enough"
play game
"I should be doing x"
OCD took my 20s from me.
wasting time
Do you have anything remotely better to do chief?
you have zero imagination if you think playing video games in your room is the best use of your time at any point.
Wasting time and being a loser
Posts on Anon Babble
that goes without saying

Kill yourself frogshitter.

No, I stopped caring about what activities other people think is appropriate for wasting your time on, and at 30, you should too. This serves as your one and only notice that baby boomers have literally spent decades letting cable tv melt their brains. At least video games require active thought.
Spending time on leisure? How horrible, so much guilt
one you will grow out of gaymin yourself
he still cares about normgroid make-believe rules
Go watch some Andrew Tate you normgroid faggot

Nigger, I'm older than 98% of this board.
You need to make money somehow. Everyone has to. "Work sucks, I know," as a great man once said. The goal is to build enough wealth to eventually attain some sort of passive income. Capitalism demands production. Be tough and find something you're good at, that pays you.
Vidya is basically just watching TV. There's nothing wrong with rest every now and then. Just try to keep the amount of time you're spending being productive higher than the amount of time you're resting.
But let's say you're, for example, a complete an utter laser. Let's say you're resting essentially 100 percent of the time, but you have some sort of inclination towards productivity in one way or another. All you need to do to start being productive is say, let's spend 90 percent of my time resting, and 10 percent being productive. That's better than spending 100 percent of time resting. Eventually you'll build a tolerance to work (a fucking work ethic), and work will be second nature, and satisfying.
But to your point, there's no shame in playing vidya, as long as you're also being productive in one way or another. Otherwise, yes, that feeling is shame. Use that as fuel for your productivity.
Being productive works better when the reward matches the effort, and that is increasingly not the case. We've reached the end of what prosperity is possible under the scourge of fractional reserve banking, it's no surprise that more and more people are essentially giving up.
video games are bad because they're a supernormal stimuli, no different from pornography
parents borrow money from me whenever they're in financial trouble
they owe me about $30,000
just a few mins ago I sent them $200 because of a credit card charge
That's it. They drained the last of my bank account and I have no more money. Seriously thinking about killing myself. 24, and I have no job anymore to keep a roof over their heas. No point in getting one if they need to keep borrowing money. Tired of this shit.
You're right, but you're missing the point. Productivity is part of life, and if you are never productive, that's the definition of a loser. More than that, your productive hours are for yourself. You can't justify relaxation without some level of productivity, and that is why you feel shame.
monke
Stop fucking giving them money and demand they budget properly to handle their own expenses. They're living large off of you.
wagie with a cool job (fireman)
on medical leave for a month now
benefits of a job (pay, status), benefits of neet (sitting home on vidya all day)
still miserable
Nah, we're just unhappy people.
Quit being so close-minded. Your life fucking rules. Open yourself up to happiness, in moments where you deserve to be happy. You can't be fighting a war all the time.
I'm not disagreeing, but I am pointing out that being productive requires commensurate reward. People will generally conserve energy literally, metabolically and figuratively. If someone recognises that they are losing more energy in an activity than they're getting out of it, then they're going to stop performing that activity.
Used to be you could force people into a survival situation so that any expenditure of energy was considered worth it, but post-industrial revolution is rendering that obsolete as a selective pressure as well.
Productivity has to be incentivised, it doesn't just work on its own, but society isn't ready to address that issue yet.
They have no more to take, so it's all over.
They promised they would pay me back after they win their lawsuit (i wont go into detail)
I think they've been gaslighting me and my siblings about it because it's been like 2 years.
Can't even afford a PC now and my shitty laptop can't even run N64 games.
Being happy all of the time is for women and children. You will not feel happiness as a man outside of a short moment after genuine lifetime accomplishments.
I am pointing out that being productive requires commensurate reward
Sure, from a purely economic perspective. My point is that, if you don't want to feel shame while playing vidya, you need to earn that relaxation by being productive. You've worked hard and now it's time to relax. That feels so much better than existing in a catatonic malaise of constant relaxation.
I don't disagree that the federal reserve and other middlemen like PBMs and just wasteful government in general, as well as businesses in general, will try to fuck you at absolutely every turn. But there are good people out there, and it's worth finding good people who you can feel good about working for or providing value to. The best you can do is focus on what you can control now, so that you can relax when you're not working and build towards what you really need.
