1. Disguise the book as a working document: transform the text, name the report No. 4399-2-1 about blah-blah-blah. Pretend that you read e-mail or MSDOC or that you still have to read there at work. If anything can be said: "yes, some nonsense came to work mail, I opened some incomprehensible text here."
2. If you have the opportunity to speak on the phone or it is not forbidden to turn on music in the headphones - plug the headphones into your ears and listen to the audiobook. You can pretend that you are talking on the phone and periodically submit remarks like "yes, great idea!" or "I didn't quite understand this - explain in more detail."

If all going to work consisted of was making money for somebody else, you wouldn't do it. If you'd rather not work, then don't. Nobody's putting a gun to your head. But don't expect others to feed you for nothing you useless, entitled little faggot.

>>18638948
You're implicitly forced to work under threat of starvation though. It's not enforced, but there is no provision set aside for people who would rather just do shit on their own and not have to be a part of society. So yeah, someone is putting a gun to your head actually.

There are people who literally do feed you though? I'm sorry nobody loved you enough to do it for you, and you had to work for everything in your life. If that's something you're proud of, to cope with the lack of love, that's fine by me.

Peak job for this is night auditor for a hotel. I work a 10 to 6 shift and by the time 1 am rolls around nobody is coming in or calling and asking for shit. I have about 3 hours of work to do a night and the rest is downtime. I started a month ago and I've cleared out half my bookshelf. Pay isn't great but you're being paid to do nothing most of the time. My boss knows this and doesn't give a fuck, brought it up during the interview even. It's a viable job just because most of humanity is not willing to do these hours.

that may be enough of an explanation for a NEET, but I need something much more substantial than that. I'm not questioning your lifestyle in the slightest; unlike most people here, I KNOW that you are, and always have been unemployable. its more of a passing interest. was it a form of abuse; social ostracization of some sort; rationalizing the practice of isolation to avoid some form of anxiety? moreover, assuming that all three of the aforementioned points are valid, but distinct possibilities: what forms of life experience occurred to cause such pathological tendencies? can we essentially 'average out' a consistent 'story' unto what causes one to 'transform' into such a creature? I'd be more than willing to listen if you were willing to be honest with me.

>All the faggots seething at OP.

Almost every summer internship I had in college was just like that. They would give me something like 10 minutes of work to do per day, and if I finished early and asked for more, they told to me to wait. Rarely ever giving me more, probably forgetting that I had finished their do-nothing task early to begin with.

After figuring this out by my second week, I learned that nobody bothered me if I pretended to be busy. This was however, incredibly boring and they still expected me to stay in the office from 10 - 5. That's when I started compiling the large list of screencaps I had of Londonfrog threads into Ebooks. The reason I stopped at (and took so long to finish) Volume 3 was because at that point I had finished my internship.

>There is definitely a gun to your head. There is always a gun to your head.
Who is pointing the gun at you?

>>18643827

It's an implied gun you fucking literal minded dipshit.

If you are compelled to do something by legal maxim, or are prohibited from doing something by legal maxim, the enforcement of those maxims is by an implied brute-force coercion. When practically implemented, that force manifests, usually, in the form of something manufactured by Colt.

At every end of society are legal maxims compelling every member to work for the state, whether you're self employed, or payroll, you can not generate anything valuable, legally, without reporting it to the government. And you can not comunicate that value to vendors without first channeling it through Patriot Act compliant institutions.

>>18643870
Our existence is thus, primarily, ruled by the dominion of society over taxable units. Any way out, including the doorway God included on the soft side of your wrist, is barred by the force of the implied gun.

There is definitely a gun to your head.

>>18643870
I refuse to work further than a 30 minute commute from home and more than 4 hours a day.
I am sure that many people feel like this. 4 hours is OK for everyone. There are many people who don't work. There are so many people doing so much shit that is pointless for hours upon hours. I don't understand why if I have to work, I have to literally give my life to some company. I understand the value of breaking people like this and turning them against people who don't want to be broken, but man, it would be so fucking easy. So much work is just superfluous.

I used to work in an office and do nothing but work in the morning and read in the afternoon. I even received raises for a job well done, one of the better gigs of my life.

>>18643932

>>18643939
Nah, I quit after two years because it was getting unbearably boring and I felt like I was developing 0 skills and basically getting stuck into a mental sandtrap.

So there's no gun to your head and you could just starve? I suggest you do that because wasting food on someone like you should be punishable.

>>18639075
The "threat of starvation" is due to your inability to secure food. it's the driving force of every living being. It's your job to keep yourself alive

>>18643918
This, seriously. It's absolutely repugnant, as an idea that it's acceptable for everyone to work FIVE days of their week for NINE hours of their day. How people willingly accept these terms in a non serf society is beyond me. Three days a week, 5 hours a day should be the standard.

This is functional literacy at its worst.

I'm not arguing that we feed ourselves by forceful coercion, or that it doesn't take work to meet your individual needs.

I clearly am criticizing the means available to you to meet those needs, which are codified by the legal system and thus enforced by the implied gun.

it is a LEGAL system of meeting needs through coerced participation, not a NATURAL system of meeting needs, of which any and all non participation in is punishable by threat of implied gun.

I'm saying that you're forcefully coerced to participate in the legally defined and predetermined acceptable forms of work.

Why would you live 80 years and do unpleasant, suicide inducing things for 10 hours a day (commuting through traffic or nigger infested public transport, working a job you hate)
Assuming 270 working days that's 2700 hours of torture out of 5840 hours available in a year minus sleep
You have 3140 hours of free time in a year, soured by working
vs. 5840 hours in a year, not soured by working
Assuming you start being a wagie at 20, by the time you are 80 you will have lived 188400 hours of free time soured by work (7850 days)
That's the same as living until 52 as a NEET and then killing yourself (186880 hours)
Except your hours are not soured by work and you enjoy a better time when you're young.

>>18641650
Are you sure? How do you know people wouldn't use their free time differently if they had more of it? Or that they don't prefer tv and drink? Shouldn't they be free to choose?

>>18644077
Why? Technology has advanced to a point that providing for the needs of everyone, including food, water, energy and the like, can be done by a small number of people working a few days a week. Since that's possible, should it really be everyone's job to secure their own food when a small number of us could do it for everyone more efficiently?

The wagies I know don't do anything with their friends because they're always working, or their friends are working. If by friends you mean LARPing on social media then oh yes, touché I don't have social media. They do not have a social life anymore because they're working all the fucking time, or their friends are working when they are free. They don't even have the time to be with their kids so they just live parenting through prepackaged experiences by proxy while their kids are taught that being gay is the way to go. I've had a very good share of sex until the end of college and honestly it wasn't so compelling I'd wageslave to get more of it, especially not with older women and the threat of children hanging over my neck.

ITT: two sides arguing with each other about how best to translate their life into bean counting.

Traditional opportunity (as opposed to social mobility) is still available to most who work hard enough to achieve it. The methods of control in the advanced democracies are as psychological/internal as they are external. Cultivate an ethic of work, self-denial, and civic-mindedness. Work a wage job that you find fulfilling while you live frugally and learn a trade as an artisan. Carpentry, masonry, landscaping, gunsmithing, ironworking, etc.

Man is a producer. It is folly to think that a life of leisure and without work will be fulfilling. While it is lamentable that there does exist a permanent class of wage laborers, it is similarly misguided to dream of realizing a utopian world where nobody needs to work

Pretty much yeah. Live with your parents and save money until you have a job that pays well enough that you can move out (preferably with someone) and still save a good amount of money. A fairly large chunk of those 70% in the United States that live paycheck-to-paycheck do so of their own volition. If you can't stay with parents or relations from the get go things would be monumentally more difficult though yeah. Funny thing is nobody is born out of the ground though.

No but this tendency of making assumptions is something I recognize from talking to people who've got everything handed to them on a silver platter but had the nerve to say they "started from zero". The truth is that any minor setback on your hard-working life as a nobody means you'll never get out. "Hard work" is nothing but a myth to keep people blaming themselves if they fail, against the evidence that opportunity is very limited and very well guarded.

Has anyone tried to be a daytrader?
I sometimes recommend that in these threads since it's the perfect job for /lit/ neets.
You are self-employed, work from home and earn enough in 2 hours to free up the rest of the day. The only issues with it are the learning curve (at least 1.5 year but generally 2 years to get decent) and amount of money required to make a living ($10 minimum but the more the better). I recommend future tradings, like the S&P 500 index but you might want to start with treasury futures first since that's slower. Check futures.io for more stuff, /biz/ is trash.

If you'd take a walk outside you might see that people will typically find ways to manage. The cult of social mobility, consumption, and capital accumulation for its own sake is orders of magnitude more damaging than a strong work ethic.

>>18644709
The big boys target other big boys, not retail traders. You just need to learn how to follow the money. I would say more but don't want to spoon-feed anyone, just do your research instead of falling for misconceptions based on bullshit statistics like "95% of traders lose money"

>>18644715
I"m not making assumptions if I know you're being disingenuous and out of touch.
There's not a single person who'll say "yeah I got a little push here and there"
Maybe I'm soured by my personal experience but I have never seen a rich person who was prepared, competent, or particularly hard-working. What I've seen was just people who started off with way better opportunities, and lots of nepotism but that's another issue. I have never seen extremely competent and prepared people in high reward areas. Never.

Society doesn't support people who don't want to be a part of society? Imagine that.

>>18644948
Society doesn't just, as you say quite misleadingly "withhold support", it is actively hostile. There is no possibility for a person to go "off grid" on a whim. All the land is owned by state, corporations or private citizens, there is no legal possibility of "not being part of society", because it is considered a criminal offense to just go live off the land, you can't just start planting your own crops on some plot of land without buying it first, and to buy it you need to spend your time and energy working in the society which you're trying to escape from.
Imbecile.

>>18645052
> Society doesn't just, as you say quite misleadingly "withhold support", it is actively hostile
This is the same thing. Sovereignty is a zero-sum game.
Realistically, society has no obligation to anybody except itself and its members. By "doing shit on your own" you are actively incurring a cost on society. An independent settlement on a fertile or mineral-rich tract of land is practically denying population, labor, resources, and potential further opportunities to a state that abides it.
It is not that I am an imbecile, you simply have no right to exist in modernity. This is why shirkers are forcibly integrated into the system where possible (by "mental health treatment", or as wealth recycler consumers / forced labor), and efficiently pushed out in all other cases.
And honestly, modernity has many serious flaws, but this is not one of them.

Get a degree and the certifications for the languages you handle. Maybe do a few translations during your time in academia that you can use for your portfolio. There's always demand for translators in a good deal of languages, and the bar is relatively low as long as you're competent. Oftentimes I've seen people without degrees working on the field that just happen to master the languages they work on (pre-employment tests are pretty common and the work-field is surprisingly meritocratic).

Either in business business administration or IT, those jobs seem to allow people to work from home quite regularly and they're not exactly hard to study for.

>>18645752
as >>18648135 get into business admin/IT and work for small companies that don't have the means to monitor you. Besides emails that require written correspondence you can often automate a lot of your work, or at least make it take less time.

I work for two small business right now, both of which think I work full time and exclusively for them. On any given day I work about 2-4 hours for each of them. I have effectively doubled my wage. At worst I work a full 8 hours, but get paid for 16 - sometimes I only work 4 or less and still get paid for 16.

This is the most effective way for wagies to increase their pay. Not by demanding 25 cent raises, but by working multiple jobs from home. You need a certain skill set though... Learn shell scripting, python, vim, excel (boomers love excel). As long as you're responsive by email you'll be fine.

funnily enough, I came to such a conclusion myself when observing a buddy of mine working from home due to covid measures. he works at a pharmaceutical company, so there are some complications - written signatures and the like within pdf files that must be parsed (I'm aware there are AI now that can possibly do such things, but I'm a massively beginner scrub programmer, so I can't get my mind around the API more than likely) - but it seemed to me that most of his activities could be automated. I thought that I can essentially get hired like '20 times' vis a vis resources that you can easily have access to in a big city that I live in, and essentially pay less than 1% of the income I would have generated to said resource, but it sounds like from what you've outlined, that there's only so much I can actually do. unless you can offer details, I guess I'll just look at various IT/business-admin jobs, and try to come to my own conclusions on which are the easiest to automate. I'm very unfamiliar with that world, so I'd be starting from scratch essentially.

Oh nonono.
Realistically, society's first, primary, and only obligation is to dissolve.

The laborers have the most enormous power in their hands, and, if they once became thoroughly conscious of it and used it, nothing would withstand them; they would only have to stop labor, regard the product of labor as theirs, and enjoy it. This is the sense of the labor disturbances which show themselves here and there.

The State rests on the — slavery of labor. If labor becomes free. the State is lost.
>End quote
My labor is my own. I need not use it FOR necessities, for I can find other methods for that. I work because I enjoy my work and, as a Researcher, truly benefit from it. However, if I did not enjoy this work, I'd likely abandon it like any other hobby. My labor is mine, free from other's grasps. They only get to relish in it as they give me free money for my enjoyment.

tis sadly is the truth.
t. third worlder. you gotta come see it to believe it. almost like there's impenetrable barriers to gain better opportunity, especially for the one who started from poor backgrounds. My father was on the way to rich, but gone sour and crazy and left the family to shambles. by the time I was out for the world I started from zero. now I live mediocre lives but that's way better considering where the family is heading. my older siblings, on the contrary tasted richness of wealth but turn into poorfags riddled with economic problems. funny how things turn out. tldr if you are poor (financially or mentally) do not breed. spare the posterity from needless sufferings.

>get literally imprisoned
But hey in the end they came out clean and dandy and now hold a nice job somewhere because muh nepotism. Opportunity is always there if you're rich and connections have such a massive impact. Meanwhile if you're a "hard working" poorfag it takes literally something as stupid as temporary illness to completely fuck your life upside down.

>How do you know people wouldn't use their free time differently if they had more of it?
Because there is, frankly, nothing to indicate otherwise.

>Or that they don't prefer tv and drink?
Notice I said most....

>Shouldn't they be free to choose?
They are, its just people are free to choose to not pay them or give them services.

>>18654789
lel you're right. everything we have is enabled by the 90% of subhuman normies and once people realize this it's over. It's very naive and optimistic to blame the Jews, aliens, Satan, or some other singular force, because no matter what it would be easier to fight than 7 billion monkeys

>>18652190
Yeah something like that is a bit beyond my skills as well. In that case, unless it was time sensitive, I would save tasks like that for the end of the day and do it all at once.

A lot of boomer or small business love excel for example but have no clue about it's features, or other ways to manipulate data sets. They might say: 'take this [data] and please get me the totals for each [category]'. They expect this to take you two hours because not a single one knows what a pivot table is. I kid you not I used to do this at a small accounting firm because they were computer illiterate, like most small businesses. So I had my job down from 2 hours to about 2 minutes. The bar is really low - I'm no programmer either.

Just remember to NEVER tell them about the methods you use to get the job done. Under no circumstance are you trying to be impressive or standout - remember, our 'raise' comes from our ability to be hired at more than 1 job at once.

For other stuff you might use python with pandas and numpy to manipulate spreadsheets more easily. Github is full of cool little scripts and tools for all kinds of little things that can help you too.
