Don’t you fucking tempt me
To quote the article,
just do it—do it right now.
Ok fine. Wait I don’t have a PS5 and now I don’t have a job. Dang it.
You can come use mine and I’ll use you as inspiration to quit.
You can come use mine and I’ll use you

There are stranger way for two people to get together. And bump-intos with coffee cups and piles of paper are worn out.

Because you commit suicide after 2 weeks?
What are you waiting for?
Well, some like a little bit of comfort. Just sitting a cold house all day and drinking only water is not for everybody.
Well look at Mr Money Bags over here with access to clean water.
And a house!
A cold house at that! Where I am it’s 30 degrees C in September and everything’s on fire so you can’t even open the windows. I’d love to be in a cold house right now.
The cold is legit pretty nice. The cold is such an infinitely easier problem to fix than warmth, you can just put a coat on or use something like an electric blanket (or central heating but in Europe that is not affordable atm lol) and the issue is entirely solved.
I tend to run pretty hot anyway, so anything over about 25C means I don’t function very well lol. And here it’s been over 25C since about the end of May so I’m really looking forward to the winter at this point.
Why confine yourself to earning a living through wage labour? There are countless other ways to make money
Please tell me how to make money without wage labour.
Easy, just be rich already!
You know how much labor a landlord does? None! Even if you consider things like picking up checks telling people you won’t fix stuff is labor there are services that will do that for you!
Stocks? If you are rich you can stack the deck and never lose!
Rich people literally cannot give money away fast enough to be poor.
In an incredibly basic sense: buy low, sell high. As we live in a capitalist society, this is the way things work.
Those who choose to slave away as workers are only generating profit for their overlords
What do I buy low and sell high?
Other people’s labor
You simply need a diversified portfolio of assets, then you do shorts but don’t do puts or something.
I actually have no idea what any of that means, but I have a friend who does stocks stuff and that’s the sort of thing he says lol.
Drugs.
Bananas
So gamble? The only proven way to reliably make money on investing are things like index funds, which you will need a fair amount of starting capital to make a living off of.
I’m not talking about stocks. I’m talking about literally anything that people will pay money for, which is a lot of stuff. You can even make the stuff or get it for free, vastly increasing your profit margins.
People really do say some dumb shit
Do you have any examples?
Selling a product or service on your own without going through a company. Not easy, but hypothetically possible.
What level of FI/RE is that referred to as?
Probably PovertyFIRE (retiring at or below poverty line expenses)
You don’t even need the essentials for the rest of your life!
Look at Mr./Mrs. rich over here
Please don’t tempt me, I am barely holding on.
I’ve made it 9 months since I quit.
Lotta chicken and rice but I thought I’d take my retirement before I die in the food wars
Bruh, I aim to the water wars. That’s starting next year, I believe.
Hmm that’s an interesting chicken or egg problem. Which will come first, the food wars or the water wars?
There are ways to purify your own water, as long as the contaminants aren’t from something like nuclear, biological or chemical warfare. Subsistence farming is a LOT harder.
Especially with increasing effects of climate change. Unexpected droughts, floods, etc can decimate a subsistence farm very quickly

Volunteered abroad. Good luck with them checking.
In foreign nations, all virtual ones
Honestly, I don’t have a technical background at all, my background is social work and physical security. I have always gotten approval by telling people I got a lucky hit in the stock market and used that money to float while I looked for other opportunities. It is true, but about three jobs ago. Still works though!
What the software?
I’ve been jobless for around 2 years now because of depression and shit, finally got back into working and I hate myself for not starting up my world of warcraft career back up. I could be a wow king by now 🙃😂
As someone who is currently neglecting their offline life again becausenof that game (Classic Hardcore goes brrr) - be glad that you didn’t :D
I’ve done that before. When I quit I stood in Orgrimar and gave out 10,000 gold to everyone who asked. That was a shit load of gold back then, although it might not be now. But I completely changed the Azeroth life of a dozen or so people.
i did this last winter; i firmly believe everyone has and needs slovenly unemployment periods to remind you of the perils of not working [but in equal measure, the bliss of not working and the amount of luxury you can just coast on]
I’m doing this right now. It’s the first time in 10 years I haven’t had someplace I needed to be 5 days a week. It’s really changing my perspective on what I need out of a job and what I could be improving in my life if I weren’t spending that time working.
If only I had a PS5…
So I can quit my job and play PS5 for 15 minutes?
Literally what I have been doing since last month. I made it a bit more challenging by going on a vacation for a week too.

Hey man, respect the speedrun strats
His RTA poverty game is as close as it can get without TAS
The guy in the picture is not playing FIFA. If he was he’d be frowning and smashing his controller
I don’t think anyone playing any game has that expression on their face while playing.
Nintendo Australia has captured the face when playing perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIJODMsYbkc
The silent pain of existence.
The real TotK experience is spending 10 minutes creating an overcomplicated vehicle with the slightly fiddly controls, before accidentally hitting it and watching it zoom off into the distance…
I’m almost asleep and was trying real hard to understand the real TikTok experience…
Good night
You have never seen someone play Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley have you?
Tempting.
I could take more than a year off before I run out of money. But finding rentals without a job is impossible regardless of how much savings you have. Atleast in Australia where you get evicted atleast once a year because the owner wants to move in
