is working as bad as 4chan makes me believe?

[Anonymous No.25266563]

my dad is 62 and has been a lawyer for over 30 years. he very clearly is passionate about it and its quite admirable.

meanwhile, im a fucking 29 year old loser who's only stocked shelves. I avoid work as passionately as he works. Haven't worked since 2018. Got the stimmies, made 7k off bitcoin, and it just bolsters my resolve to keep avoiding work. But then i also faintly imagine me stoically welding pipes in the middle of nowhere making decent money. or working in alaska in a factory or something. Work just seems horrible, but so many faggots get up and do it everyday
>inb4 they need to
there's gotta be something else driving SOME of them right? Not every doctor did it for the money right? Accountants? Lawyers? How do you "enjoy working"? What does working give you?
>inb4 money
I could live in a van and do odd jobs, read books at the library, and just stare at the sky smoking american spirits. The pleasure of not working, not toiling is strong within me. I feel like a marooned aristocrat.

Please help

Completely depends on what you do. Keep in mind that a lot of upper management corporate jobs are make-work, where they sit on their asses making six figs while barely doing jack shit.
And then there are other jobs where you actually are busting your ass running around like a maniac for 8+ hours a day. The latter feels like death, whereas the people in the former who barely break a sweat (physically or mentally) don't mind at all.

I see the loss of actual physical communal workspace as a net loss in my book, since talking amongst work peers, while it has had it's quirks, has taught me plenty. Not all of that knowledge has gotten me richer (shocking), but I'm still here on this planet, holding my bags, balls, and my dreams, so some of it has worked out for me to some bullshit-quantifiable extent.

I'm 30 and I have over 500k in crypto at the moment. I have also done "stoic" jobs in the lumber industry working with Eastern europeans/Russians, but those jobs were dangerous to your health (breathing hazards from all the sawdust and other dust)

I'm not willing to go work for some jew leech 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. At this moment I would be willing to work something like 10-15 hours a week some stress free job

I currently study computer science, but no way in hell I would do this for living. It is dehumanizing to sit 8 hours straight staring screen while your brain works overtime, I hate thinking, I hate taking "responsibility that this system works as it should"

I do like programming when I can do it one hour of my own project or updating some easy cool website styles, not actual dehumanizing robot slave programming-for-someone-else

I'm willing to ride this 500k for the next decade, I met a 40 year old guy at my class who is desperately trying to get into software business after working some shitty odd jobs for the past 10 years, figured out that If I can gamble this 500k to mere 3-4x to 2030s I have nothing to worry about.

Your Dad fucked up and spoiled you. The only way out of your meaningless existence is to shock your perception of things and change your reality. Cut yourself off from your family as far as money goes. Never accept another dime from them. Ask your old man not to help and that you need to do things on your own now. Find a job you like and get yourself that van. Get a nice van that you can travel in. Drive up to Alaska and get in on an oil rig or with a parts supply business. Enjoy working outside your element. You will quickly pay off your van. Buy a house, keep investing and find another job that suits you or go into more training. Do something that provides for you. Find a girl. Have kids. Wake up.

If you're smart and actually take advantage of school, you can get a white collar job and earn a healthy living in an air-conditioned building.

If you're a fuckup, you'll be spit on, disrespected by assholes, and likely have your body wrecked in a low-skill job.

The only way to escape either of these scenarios is to take risks that might make you rich or destitute.

Working from home due to Covid is great if you have a mindless office job. Gives you plenty of time to goof off. I make a full-time wage in software and make extra money from trading due to lack of supervision.

Here's what my wagie life's like. I don't want to say where I work, but it's manual labor and I have a lot of coworkers. Yes, I am a poorfag and I'm not even close to making it at this point. Anyway, I know how to do my job well enough that I basically do it unconsciously while I zone out into my own head. On good days it feels like purgatory, on bad days it's hell. Days go by at a reasonable pace as long as I keep busy, so I never stop. Being bored at work is torture because you're stuck there and time feels painfully slow. I only talk to people when I absolutely have to, usually strictly business, and I respond to anyone who asks me questions, but I'm generally taciturn so I don't socialize much and no one talks to me besides a few I exchange small talk with on rare occasions. In my head, I spend most of my time thinking about talking to one of my female coworkers that I fancy as the same self-defeating rhetoric circles through my head, day after day, month after month. Every time I'm near her my brain short circuits and my tongue gets twisted. I've passed up several opportunities to talk to her because I couldn't handle it. Wait, this has less to do with working and more to do with me being an incel. The work itself is actually pretty tolerable. Huh.

I live by "Work will set you free". Work is really the ultimate medicine. A big problem today is that most jobs don't let you work enough, and your typical /pol/ack needs at least 60 hours a week just to stabilize.

Find a job that will let you work 5 12 hour shifts. Just try it out for a month. You'll get hooked like it's a drug.

I have always had that "Office Space" dream - to do nothing but read and think, so that's mostly what I do, especially for the past year staying at home all of the time. Different people are wired differently, but for me, this is fine.

I don't think it's a simple correlation with intelligence, but I do think it's evidence of lacking a well developed inner life. Highly intelligent narcissists have the same issue.
Also, I don't think it's any different from liking movies or vidya. They're all passive synthetic emotional experiences.

As you can see from the calendar, the game is coming up this weekend. I'm sure you are as excited for it as I am, as our cities are rivals and have been for quite some time. Your confidence in your team is high, but rest assured, you will suffer humiliation when the sports team from my area defeats the sports team from your area.

On numerous occasions, you have expressed the conviction that your area's sports team will be victorious. I must admit that every time I hear you make this proclamation, I react with both laughter and disbelief. "Ha!" I say to myself with laughter. "What?!" I say to myself in disbelief. How could you believe that your sports team could beat my sports team? It is clear that yours is inferior in every way.

When the sporting contest begins, the players on your team will be treated as though they are inconsequential. It will be remarkably easy for my team to accumulate more points than yours. There are many reasons for this, starting with the inferior physical attributes of the players representing your area. Strength, speed, and agility are just three of the qualities that the players on the team from your area lack. The players representing my area, on the other hand, have these traits in abundance.

A lot times people criticize complex code because they simply haven't thought through the problem deeply enough. Most tasks seem simple on the surface but become a lot more difficult when you consider edge cases, failure scenarios, and ongoing feature requests that blow up the scope of the project.

Also yeah sometimes people just write shitty code. There is a maxim in Python:

>simple is better than complex
>complex is better than complicated

The implication here is that some problems can't be solved with simple code, but you need to look at each problem individually and decide which ones can be solved with simple logic and which ones need complex logic.
