Holy hell. Even if it was fake, that was depressing. Even more so if real.
Of course it’s fake. A loser like this wouldn’t know how many digits is a good salary to begin with.
I know someone like this. In fact, I read this and I think it could be him. I don’t know for sure. I would reach out, but I honestly don’t know him well.
He’s good friends with my partner. They went to school together. They play games together over Discord regularly. I’ve only met him once.
😐🤷♂️
This DEFINITELY fake. You don’t hold a job, get groceries or buy gas and only go outside 6 times in 15 years.
They don’t drive, why are they getting gas? They said never had a job, how does that equate to going outside? No mention of groceries at all, I’d assume they are mooching those off their parents as well.
Not saying it’s real, but your stated reasons of it being fake are pretty much directly in contradiction to what they claim.
I wish I lived this life. Sleeping in your car is awful, but I have been told to be grateful I had a car to sleep in. Low fucking standards…
My brother in law is this guy but doesn’t care about the getting a job part. He plans to kill himself when the second parent dies and I belive him.
This is me at 34. Fuck reality, everything ever has been destroyed and I just need an excuse to stand by the railroad tracks until I hear the horn.
This isn’t terribly far away from being me, except i randomly went to an art school for a couple years. Didn’t exactly pick up many marketable skills there lmfao
I know all greentexts are fake, but:
- get a job at local walmart / krogers / etc. Try doing full time but if you can only handle part-time, stick with that
- after doing that for a while (at least 3-4 months, pref. at least a year) go to the local community college and ask about doing a GED (high school diploma)
- take it slow at first. maybe one class at a time. try to work your way up to 3-4 classes, OR 1-2 classes while holding down a job. keep an eye out for a better job.
- once you’re getting toward the end of your GED, talk to your counselor about your career goals.
And start walking and counting calories today. Cutting weight can happen later, you start by figuring how much you’re actually eating then slowly reducing it.
And if you start exercising by running while out of shape and obese you’re just going to be too miserable to keep going. So you walk, figure out how much it takes to get exhausted then do it every day you can. I once did 10k steps every day indoors. What was that like? 3 hours of walking in circles. But it was what I could do. From there start trying other things trying to find things that have reasonable impact that aren’t so miserable you won’t do them.
If you have to choose between dieting and exercising, pick exercising. A sedentary lifestyle destroys motivation in all aspects of life. Every other aspect of self improvement is going to take a long time to see real benefit, but it doesn’t take long to get fit enough to notice and it impacts every aspect of your life.
Also numbers are easy to overprioritize. The goal is health. Not some amount you can lift, not some distance you can bike, not a waistline size (though I’ve heard it’s a useful indicator for heart health), not bmi, and not weight. All of those numbers can help you figure out how healthy you might be, but I’ve seen people walk into eating disorders and body dysmorphia over all that and the fact is you don’t need to look like a movie star to be healthy.
- Take a 30 minute walk every day regardless of weather.
- Take three months off from video games. The first three weeks will suck. Remind yourself several times a day that this is for something possibly better.
- Don’t linger on your past mistakes beyond a reminder of where you don’t want to be. Buildingg your character is a path filled with wrong turns and mistakes. The best we can do limit the effects of those mistakes based on our setup. … Build character like you would in a rogue like if that’s helpful
- Develop emotional awareness and intelligence. That’s a book and a skill.
- Talk to people with the respect you want to receive.
- Accept the parts of yourself you can’t change. You’re 5’ 3". Stand tall and own your space.
Shittles… I need to do some of this stuff myself. Ha!
Being obese and being poor are mutually exclusive.
Edit because y’all are actually insane for taking this comment seriously.
However barring health disorders, being poor means you can barely afford food. Just because you spend all your money on McDonalds double quarter pounders and have no money at the end of the month doesn’t mean you’re poor. Walking is free. Eating vegetables is cheaper than buying meat. There is no secret to losing weight. Stop buying processed foods and eat more vegetables, take a walk around the block once a day. Stop making excuses for being lazy.
Before anyone says it doesn’t work for everyone, yes that is obvious. Again stop making excuses for lazy people. The majority of people can lose weight from light exercise and eating less food.
That is wildly incorrect and ignorant.
The nicest way that i can put it is that this has been true for most of human history until industrialization, let’s say that the 50’s is when industrial food starts to make poor people fat.
The less nice way to put it is that this hasn’t been true for 70 years. You are completely clueless to health food and poverty in the 20th century, let alone the 21st. Nowadays, eating nothing but the cheapest food will in fact make you fat, this is one of the main concerns of nutritional science today.
Getting mad about comments on a green text 4chan thread is crazy🫵🏼😂
Obesity is considered low status because it shows you don’t have the resources to eat healthy. The cheapest, quickest foods are highest in fats and sugars.
I thought it showed you are too lazy or have poor self restraint or you just don’t care enough.
All things that could be overcome with resources plus all those things are commonly attributed to poor people as well
You don’t need money to be a normal weight. Lots of homeless people who are of normal weight. Almost everyone can afford to eat what body builders eat like rice tuna beans and they are in peak physical shape. The difference is they care about their body and fat people don’t. Even if you don’t have time to work out you can still care about your body.
Do you think fat people don’t feel shame about their bodies? They don’t feel inferior or like failures?
Do those emotions sound like they could be experienced by someone who doesn’t care?
Poor people work jobs, sometimes multiple, sometimes with kids to take care of.
Do they go to the grocery store and pick up all the supplies needed to make healthy dinners for the week, then go home and cook for an hour and a half?
No they put something frozen in the microwave or they grab McDonald’s.
They dont have the financial capital to work less and they don’t have the energy capital to work more at eating right.
You should strongly consider that when you’re judging the fat people who wander into your life, or falling for racist propaganda that tells you poor black people in America must have it pretty good since they’re all obese.
When I say they don’t care I meant they don’t care enough. So anywhere in the range of giving zero fucks all the way through to I really care a lot and it bothers me and makes me ashamed and upset but not still not enough to eat less calories. The proof of this is when people who were fat begin to care enough and loose weight, it happens all the time.

Mutual exclusivity means you can’t be poor and obese at the same time. If you meant they are independent of each other though, that I get.
This is a green text thread so my comment isn’t meant to be taken seriously.
Not exercising doesn’t mean you’re obese. I know a guy who could be this person. He’s very skinny. He doesn’t exercise but he doesn’t eat much. And he eats the same food every meal.
It sounds like you’d be comfortable in prison. There is probably a Luigi to-do list somewhere you could pick a name from and then arrange to join him in a neighboring cell.
There’s not a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram between the type of person described in this text and someone like Luigi. Remember, Luigi was the Valedictorian of his class. To do what he (possibly) did requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, and skill. You’re talking about someone that allegedly manufactured their own weapon from scratch, tracked down the CEO of a fortune 500 company, plotted for a moment of peak vulnerability, and was able to escape the scene of the crime in a daring and intricately planned escape. Oh, and he also managed to do it all in a way that turned him into a beloved folk hero.
With Luigi’s alleged crime, you’re looking at the work of genuinely skilled and intelligent person. Someone like the guy in this green text isn’t going to be taking down any CEOs or politicians any time soon.
Hoenstly, probably better than being homeless. Life in prison as a local hero among inmates for deposing a capitalist.
I was homeless, and also briefly in jail for doing something others had respected; jail sucks and is never preferable, but it certainly made things a lot easier than it would have been had I not entered with respect. On my first day I was receiving gatorades, instant noodles, and muffins from people stopping by my cell. I even was given all the paper and pencils I wanted to do my art.
Homelessness was risky, but I would still choose it over jail with respect. Not to say that the sacrifice wouldn’t be worth it if you did the right thing.
Just out of sheer curiosity… What’d you do to get respected right away? Aside from merc’ing a CEO or a pedophile, I can’t think of many other things.
I really don’t want to describe too much as my identity could be found from it, but it helped that it was all over the news. Before anyone realized that it was me, people were trying to intimidate me from the cells by yelling things at me. Once people found out that the news was about me, things turned around fast.
Thanks for the insight! Sounds like you’re doing a lot better now
Better is one way to put it. Though I may end up homeless again if I can’t find some work soon. I just had a ton vet bills for a sick pet come in and I injured my leg, it’s not super great prospects at the moment. :(
How hard are 6 figure jobs to get?
High School dropout NEET directly to 6-figure would probably need to involve selling drugs or something, right?
Obese, awkward, stammering, stumbling INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN 😎
involve selling drugs or something, right?
Q: ¿What’s the difference between a prostitute and a drug dealer?
A: ¡A prostitute can wash their crack and sell it again!
Let’s be real, anon would be back in his cave within the first week. You don’t go 2 decades of not lifting a finger to being a hard worker no matter what the pay is
2 decades of not lifting a finger to being a hard worker
That’s more or less what happened to me. Dropped out of university, a year of unemployment, then I found a factory job where I could spend most of the time operating machines instead of conversing with people. The pay was extremely average, but I ended up becoming one of the most productive workers simply because I liked the job.
That was until the early pandemic supply chain issues caused productivity to implode, the veteran talent left, management doubled in size, so did overtime (well paid as it was), and I decided my health was more important.
Drug trade seems ill-advised if you have that little social skills. Where do you get your drugs? How do you avoid getting stabbed etc. by your buyers and the people who sell to you? A lot of these people are aggressive and carry weapons, you really don’t want to be the type who doesn’t have the social awareness to avoid pissing them off accidentally.
Maybe Darknet Markets would be an option then. You can’t get stabbed through the screen and trust becomes a matter of cryptography instead of social deduction. But you need some non-trivial computer skills and a healthy dose of paranoia.
im surprised those arent all cia honeypots already
There’s a reason two of the biggest rules of online purchasing are “never use your real name” and “never accept a package you have to sign for.” Doesn’t matter if you just bought $5k in drugs; The seller won’t require a signature on delivery.
If the delivery guy wants a signature, they’re an undercover cop and you bought from a honeypot (or they sniffed your package in the mail sorting room and intercepted it.) The UC wants you to put ink on paper accepting the package as yours, to prove you bought it. Because otherwise your lawyer can go “how do we know my client ordered it? It didn’t have their name on it! It was probably a neighbor getting it delivered to a nearby house, and the prosecution hasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt that my client actually purchased the drugs.”
Confidently incorrect
huh, ive always heard the opposite. use your real name because a fake one will stick out for that address.
Unfortunately CIA is busy with other things, i guess.
They may be NSA honeypots though.
nothing says national security quite like selling drugs!
He sounds like he would need luck to even get a four figure salary…
This is how rig pigs are born.
After being fat and sedentary for 18 years? Yeah, no. Rig pigs at least need to be fit, cuz their body is their job. This dude is in his mid 30’s and has never lifted more than a soda can to his lips.
Maybe a trucker if he can manage to stay in training long enough to get his CDL. But the dude dropped out of 9th grade, so I don’t have high hopes.
I mean they’re not hard if you’re willing to go to a trade school and then put in long hours as a welder or something.
I’m getting the feeling though that that will be off the table.
I’m assuming that would still take some time to get to that point, with training and apprenticeship
Sorry, I meant to say “not hard to find” definitely still requires work to get there!
two words for you: rig pigs
No way he’s able to keep up physically if he’s obese and unemployed for 15 years right after dropping out of highschool.
Unless Anon is willing to put in some serious work, like properly going back to school or busting their ass learning (and getting good at) a trade, then their life is kinda fucked.
You can’t just crawl out of almost 20 years of NEETing into really any kind of job, especially without the charisma to at least try masking it.
Also fuck knows why Anon’s parents just let them drop out of school and basically cease to exist outside of playing videogames for best part of two decades. That’s plain bad parenting.
I have friends in these situations where they dropped out and they somehow hold themselves above a minimum wage job with stuff like “I’m worth more than that”, " I’m over qualified to flip burgers", and “i can’t move out on that wage”. I try to tell them they at least have to work some basic position just to prove to future employers you can actually show up each shift. Completing highschool on a resume isn’t just an education. It shows you’re willing to stick through something even if it wasnt fun or got difficult at times and can be one of the first signs to an employer that you have potential to be reliable.
I get it, it does suck making minimim wage and it might not be enough to move out of moms basement tomorrow, but after 20 years in moms basement its gonna take work to get outta there.
“I’m holding out for a management position.”

Agreed. I NEETed for five years. Never left my apartment, sponged off my gf, terrified of going out. Even that long is hard to get out of.
Thankfully I kept my weight mostly in check and I still had some humble charisma when I needed to interact with people. This let me seek help which culminated in severe anxiety and sleep apnea diagnoses.
Let me tell you, though. Even 5 years is enough to make any sort of potential employer wrinkle their nose at your application. I had to dig hard through my grave topsoil.

Any advice? I had a long hiatus from trying to get a degree due to depression/anxiety, and I fear I’ll also have a hard time explaining the gap away.
Be honest about it if you get an interview, but be clear that it took some time to get where you needed to be. Let them know that you’ve worked hard to get the help you needed and are more than ready to get back into the world.
When Chewy hired me for remote work, they also asked what I had done during my unemployment. They seemed pleased to hear I had been building skills in web design and UI/UX as well as becoming a professional typist at 90 wpm average. So have your accomplishments ready, no matter how small they may seem.
There is one possible route he could go.
CDL truck driving is totally possible for someone with no ties to an area like kids or wife to do what he’s asking.
You gotta be able to learn the trade, but there are schools that invite companies in to sponsor the training and then you work for 1 or 2 years for that company before you can quit it or go owner operator (without penalty, you can leave whenever and pay them for the schooling).
After that you can make 6 figs easily with otr flatbed, tanker, car hauler, etc.
The only difference for his life style is his house will get smaller and he has to drive for 11 hrs a day.
Use a voice changer and become a twitch streamer with one of those female anime avatars. Hoards of desperate guys will throw themselves at his feet to try and catch a glimpse of the real person behind the anime avatar.
- A good anime avatar takes skill = money
- Getting people to desire your streams takes effort
Word. I’ve been watching a really good Streamer who makes her own models, she has very little viewers compared to how consistently she has been streaming for several years and how good her streams are (IMO). She has other sources of income so it’s not a big deal for her, but if you were trying to get out of unemployment with that it seems really tough.
I’ve sat in voice chats with Vtubers as they made mad scientist level stuff with their avatars, with visual programming and blendshapes and api hookups and a bunch of shit that i don’t understand. And they were doing it for 10 viewers.
Yeah , Twitch/YT have the worst promotional and discovery algorithms for streaming creators/entertainers. Every streamer I watch that isn’t from the early days of Twitch/Justin.tv says they had to build a content creation platform elsewhere and move them to Twitch to get any movement. And these creators still only get 500-2000 viewers at most.
And at that point the question becomes, why bring these viewers to Twitch? If you can build an audience on YouTube, that’s your income right there, you don’t need to stream for Twitch where you’ll make a lot less money. Either you do it for the love or you don’t do it.
Aside from those who have like 5k viewers (<0.1% of streamers), Twitch creators make less money than they would on another platform with another kind of content. This is good for me as an audience member because it means most streamers (that i watch anyway) are doing it out of passion, but it’s bad for the platform because it means they’re not profitable. Daddy Bezos can pull the plug on the Twitch money pit any day
Yeah, there’s a reason TikTok had so many streamers promoting themselves. TikTok’s discovery algorithm was top-notch, so people would use it to widen their audiences and convert them to twitch subs.
I was a low effort TikTok poster, and even I had over 50k followers without trying. If I was able to convert even 1% of that over to Twitch, that’s 5000 followers which is enough to at least stream regularly.

Why? This dude has nothing but time. He was on the parents’ dime for more than a decade.
Would need $$ for equipment to get started
Would need knowledge to set the whole thing up
Would need to be able to talk and interest dudes to attract and retain clients Individual described does not seem like a genius or go-getter that could pull this offYeah, and the being funny and charismatic part is nontrivial. If you are the born entertainer already, sure. If not, well…
“women can always just do onlyfans” lookin ass advice
Anon could sell feet pics
Did you miss the part about Anon not having social skills?
You could AI generate some pictures too, video requires more effort but images you can just use one of the free services to generate pictures by typing in something anon can almost understand like “hawt gurl”
How is anon going to make 6 figures with AI pictures?
I don’t know but they’ll definitely have 6 fingers
Bro is living the dream.
I played so many games from 8yo to 22yo that I legit ran out of games to play, I emulated old consoles. I played on good hardware, I played competitive games, single player. at some point after my first year out of highschool I was like damn I’ve rna out of games to play.
I guess it helped that the game industry ran out of juice in the last decade or so and the number of games that interest me plummeted (probably because I’m older also)
Same. Nothing really seems to grab me anymore. For the past decade or so, I mostly look up last years top N games, filter for the offline ones, pick one that seems good nix of story/gameplay, and then play it for a couple of days straight (with cheats/trainers to jump the grindey parts).
Afterwards, I’m done. Back to normal schedule. See you next year, games.
That sounds like a very severe case of untreated depression. I know anon is 33 but where the fuck were his parents for the first 20 years of their life?
Separated from me because I have severe anger issues, which led to Social Services forcibly removing me - not to help me - but to make putting me under what amounted to house arrest at 11 years old to save taxpayer money instead of actually caring about an autistic child by placing me in a group home where I was the only child capable of speech.
When my parents got me back, I was three years behind my peers in tech knowledge that I prioritized re-learning over assoviating with my idiot wigger classfoes. Then I realized I was incapable of handling the stress of university and simply couldn’t go.
I tried a writing career but my only option for a psychiatrist (literally the only psychiatrist within a 1.5 hour drive of my hometown) destroyed my life and online social networking with psychiatric malpractice.
The internet never forgives, I hate you all and hope you’ll die painfully because you already hate me. If you don’t, it’s because our hobbies didn’t overlap in 2017-2024, and thus I have no reason to bother discussing anything with anyone ever again.
The last 2 lines of the text make it sound like bait if the 6-figure thing wasn’t a joke (otherwise, delusional). Depression likely, if not other health issues that led to this.
I am not quite as bad as the text but for me: parents are doing their own thing (these days, computer time), almost as isolated as I am.
It probably helps that I do tasks for them (mostly sweeping, unloading dishwasher/garbage, carrying firewood etc). Not that I can do much given that I, much like they (who are anti-doctor), have untreated health issues. Seemingly is enough they don’t threaten to kick me out (though maybe they know that I would just leave with no place to go, and likely die).
Also it was unlikely in car-centric areas of the USA as-it-was
but I don’t think there’s hard-working out of this after medicaid is gutted (not that was even an easily accessible path before).
Maybe anon can lose 50 pounds, get a hobby, and leave the house a few times a month when the weather is nice… but probably not getting a job/moving out with no help while the government implodes and normal people were already struggling to pay bills.
The 6-figues line could very well be a joke without the story being untrue.
Clean yourself up and find a rich spouse?
Win the lottery?
Insurance fraud?
No? I got nothing.
