The jobs are bullshit and they absolutely could hire us and we absolutely could do a lot of those jobs. They actively don't want us working those jobs so that there is a class of losers that they can be above. Its a tense situation on their part but there's no incentive for me the loser to adopt the tension or anxiety. If they wanted me to be successful, they'd hire me. Why feel shame in being a loser? This is what they want!

You're gonna have to fuck my aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssss

ooooOOOOOOOOooo. oooooOOOOOooo.

Since society relies on the "grunt" labor produced by this loser class of men it's only fair. A social contract. It doesn't even take much societal resources to meet this requirement. Work needs to be done and there is always a culture, de facto. The bones of making this requirement possible are already there.

Job was IT guy at a library. It was helping old people with technology for like 1-2 hours at most a day, then just hanging out online in a windowless cramped office. I gained no marketable skills there and it was just driving me insane running out of internet to look at at 10:30 am and explaining right clicking to people experiencing cognitive decline. It was a safe job, lots of PTO, air conditioned. I hated it though and was there too long so I quit. After some jobhunting, I stopped trying.

My days now are I do the bare minumum of doordash (i drive an EV) a couple days a week to get SNAP benefits and pay my car note and I just cook nice meals, do school work for my IT degree, and just hang out at the beach or on my bike around town. I don't think I will get a job with my degree, and quite frankly I'm not interested in the subject anymore, but I'm not concerned about it. Never really got to do anything with my life and I've aged out of being a young adult so now my identity is just loser or failed-to-launch guy,. So it goes I guess? At this point in life I have a pretty fatalistic attitude to the prospect of being successful. Like there's very little opportunities out there even for the good personality culture fits with actual degrees and some skills.

But I only really get anxious about it like that when I go online, which I'm getting sick of. I really enjoy the days where I ride my bike downtown, swim at the beach, make a nice ass salad for lunch, go for long walks with my dog. Besides the occasional anxiety about money, I mostly don't really care. I've gotten a nice tan (im in florida so its been hot for a while). I found a place that does dollar oysters during wagie hours, so that's pretty cool. I'm thinking about joining the Y or a gym with group classes. I'm looking forward to an unemployed, outdoor summer. Been swimming a lot already. Life is a lot more chill when you don't spend hours online. If I get a job again it needs to be something that doesn't have a lot of "hang out online" downtime.

and im like "wait, is this grooming"?
