The lumpenprole lifestyle is actually quite rewarding.

The frog of wisdom.

I'm 28, NEET for 5 years, useless since birth and comfy since I lost my last job.

Still happy and confident I chose the best path in life every day.

What's some comfy degeneratecore like Bukowski and Houellebecq and Celine and Miller and such?

If you really saw the meaningless you wouldn't buy into the 'got to make myself word hard' meme toobeehonesfem

just take it easy

irl welfare neet here
it cool sometimes

Do you think any aspects of pleb or Internet culture are actually pretty deep?

I like the quote, from that copy pasta, "Damn, I would totally have sex with you! Both you and the real you!"

Determinism is the ultimate NEET choice.
>sorry mumsies, this is just the way it goes! if I had any autonomy I might get a job, alas, there can be no uncaused action, a mind is a natural system like any other

Post NEETcore books please.

'96 here, i felt the same throughout high school but im learning to cope with the emptiness

i used to believe i had some goal, some standard, some obligation to live up to. my family always made me feel this way. but i'm now just living life on the short term. striving towards a dream never led me anywhere except despair.

now, though, i'm slowly watching all my friends accept dead-end jobs and be content with living sub-par lifestyles. they all had dreams of becoming accountants, doctors, lawyers, etc. now they are OK with being a sub-manager at KFC if it means they have enough money for weed and a cool-looking car.

i've abandoned my aspirations of becoming a STEMfag because i realized that i didn't want to do that shit for the rest of my life even though has the highest possibility for lodsa mone. fuck that. now i just want to land a stable, comfy job where i can funpost on cambodian finger painting forum (while still reading books and watching anime, of course) without the normal strictures of society. so when people say "just do what makes you happy :)", don't just write it off as a meme. at the end of the day it really is all that matters.

also, lay off the le ebin ironic internet culture and the 4chinz for a while.

tl;dr abandon your aspirations, embrace ironic shitposting for what it is, and smoke some dope

Yes, although I'm starting to wonder if I ever sincerely wanted to write at all or was just a vain young cunt who liked the idea of 'being a writer'.

Probably the latter.

'Being a fuck up' is a meme slave drivers use against you.

Thoughts on this article? Not going to lie, I was eating food and reading this in a noisy environment, but it's probably above me anyway.

My questions: If all we have left in the utopia is bullshit jobs we take turns doing, how are we inevitably going to cope with the monopolisation of women among the best looking 10 % of males? Drugs? A new economy of trying to be as good as possible at sex?

What if a basketball player gets all the girls and me and the other incels go and make our own city with better pleasure inducing drugs... isn't that just capitalism popping up again? Won't the competition all be transferred from bin man vs bin man to theoretical physicist vs theoretical physicist (i.e. all we have left is the extremes of knowledge / competition / advancement).

What happens when the pleasure inducing drugs reach their theoretical maximum pleasurableness?

We already have welfare which is enough to live on. Couldn't he just be describing a new minimum standard of living? e.g. we now think that the internet should be available to everyone. Humanity still needs resources.

Isn't this just hoping for the end of competition, which is wishful thinking?

Who?

I audiobooked a fair chunk of /lit/core, a few classics, and the entire meme trilogy with about 40% retention while running errands or using transit. i can now fake my way through a conversation with most literary types and impress the ladies. best of all i've gone back to my old hobby of watching slasher movies all day, and noones ever going to know the difference. how does it feel readfags? i have all the benefits you do with 1/10th of the work and i could even tell you how david foster wallace would be critical of that outlook

>not staying NEET forever

>tfw all I did today was soak and boil batches of beans and drink whisky

I play the neetlife because there's no place I can go
Neetlife, it's the only life I know
Neetlife and there's a thousand parts to play
Neetlife until you play your life away

Welcome to 2015, where you have to suck dick for an unpaid job and say thank you after you swallow.

Fuck them, I'll just be NEET instead.
