Current Events > I could go through the motions and get a job or whatever but why bother

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just going to sit here and NEET this shit up with vidya and anime...because why not

---

Hell yeah brother

---

Why bother?

It's gonna hurt me

It's gonna kill when you desert me
---

Why bother to find a job when the government pays you to sit on your ass all day to play video games? Look at all the people on a Monday morning midday just chilling and smoking weed or drinking all day... the government pays them to do that and for free.

Self-respect is a totally valid reason for not being a waste of space.

If you subscribe to the belief of nihilism then nothing that anyone does actually matters, which means that everyone is technically a waste of space

Get a job, get money, fuck bitches and drink

I don't know how you can do that. I lost my job in 2008 right when the economy was going to crap and I couldn't find work for 6 months; playing video games and consuming media just got tedious and made me feel like a lazy pile of shit. Working sucks but grinding away at games for little reward sucks just as much.

Six months is good in this climate.

I didn't have a proper job for three years.

How the fuck do you people survive?

My bones are literally fragmenting, and I've already had both of my hips replaced at 34. Yet I can't get NEET bux from the government to live. Is it simply the fact I live in Georgia?

Literally busting my ass going back to school so I can get an office job instead of being on my feet all day.

Honestly, this stuff gets me a bit... I should go back to reading Pokmon leaks.

What was your job that caused this?

---

Medical, AVN, wasn't caused by the job.

I simply can't be on my feet all day anymore.
---

I got laid off in 2015 cause the company closed and lived the nEEt life for a year it was great at first but by the 12 month I ran out of money and needed a job.

Honestly as much as I hate my current work life having money with little free time>broke with lots of free time.

Sure, but if you do something with your life that contributes to making the world better than how you found it, it's very hard to subscribe to the belief of nihilism.

Any change that you make to the world would probably be minuscule at best. And in the scope of the entirety of the history of the world your achievement becomes even more minuscule. Nobody will remember you or the things you've done, so did you really make the world better? And if you look at things in the scope of the universe as a whole, there's really nothing you could do that really has an impact on anything. I don't actually believe in nihilism by the way lol. Just playing devil's advocate

It's all relative. Miniscule and insignificant to the entire universe, absolutely. Doesn't mean you couldn't improve a lot of lives.

I just feel that usually when people have a nihilistic world view, it's often just a way of justifying them already being an ass or a failure, rather than something they believed first and acted on second.

I personally despise those who are able bodied but deliberately do nothing and leech off welfare. They contribute to higher taxes on everyone else and produce nothing for society. Social security was there to protect the vulnerable and encourage people to be willing to take more risks in their working life, not to facilitate a lifetime of doing nothing.
