>"Plunged up to the ears in work, good friend!" thought Oblomov as he
watched him depart. "Yes, and blind and deaf and dumb to everything
else in the world! Yet by going into society and, at the same time, busying
yourself about your affairs you will yet win distinction and promotion.
Such is what they call 'a career'! Yet of how little use is a man like that! His
intellect, his will, his feelings--what do they avail him? So many luxuries is
what they are--nothing more. Such an individual lives out his little span
without achieving a single thing worth mentioning; and meanwhile he
works in an office from morning till night--yes, from morning till night,
poor wretch!"

>Certainly a modicum of quiet satisfaction was to be derived from the
thought that from nine o'clock until three, and from eight o'clock until nine
on the following day, he, Oblomov, could remain lying prone on a sofa
instead of having to trot about with reports and to inscribe multitudes of
documents. Yes, he preferred, rather, leisure for the indulgence of his
feelings and imagination.

wake up, read for a couple of hours before work
Go to work, read a bit if I have the time
come back home, maybe eat, maybe shower, but definitely read for a couple of hours before back to sleep.

We're all consumers, but having a job, I'm also producing and pulling my weight in the society.

>>6835815
'Pulling your weight' hasn't been a necessity for the entire population since we got mules to pull the weight of our plows though.

There's nothing wrong with being NEET. Society is so overproductive that only a minority of people need to be part of the production process.

fuck off nigger who thinks life is all about reading, writing and exercising.

You're free to do as you pleased, but video games is a shit tier hobby. Nothing is more cringe then seeing an adult play video games, and I'm speaking to you as a person who played video games from 6 years old to 23 ... then I just stopped cold turkey.

Try writing for 5 minutes a day. Just write and slowly build up your habit.

But it just sounds like you don't want to be a writer bad enough ...

>>6836524
Lel vidya. You'll never get your youth back, enjoy spending it watching numbers go up all my top keks

>>6835468
That sounds stupid. If all you do is write, then what the fuck do you write about? Whatever it is, I'd guess it reads inauthentic as fuck.

>>6836524
I mean like an idle thirty-minute to an hour session once a week or less. when the mood strikes. I play imaginative adventures/RPGs, and they stoke my imagination, actually.

'Course, fuck, I don't own any next-gen systems except for a 3DS. So I guess I count as a casual and am in the clear.

>>6836530

If /lit/ really thinks it's important to start with the Greeks, why wouldn't you start by learning Greek? If you're serious about philosophy and literature, that seems like the first step.

Excessive makeup/10

>>6836643
Found the wageslave. :^)

I haven't been sleeping very much lately and it's turning my brain over. Everything I write is absolute gibberish full of run on sentences or fragments. Sometimes I wake up and find a few .txt documents saved on my desktop with names like 'asdfahiob' that just have like two or three words in them.

I've been sleeping maybe 3 hours twice a day because of a new job I got has fucked up hours and I've been trying to adjust my sleep schedule. I think I'm going mad though. Things don't taste right. I have trouble reading because my eyes just water instead of focusing correctly.

>>6836518
>not fucking bitches
Shallow and only fuckup virgins think that way. Once you've found love and acceptance, you no longer need to, ahem, fuck bitches, to feel like you worth something as a man.

>not exploring the world
Make up your mind, read, write or explore the world? Exploring the world means you have enough money to do it, means you must work extra hard for that amount of money and time to do it, means you have less and less to dedicate to writing and reading.... Or you're leeching off your parents in which case, your opinion holds absolutely no weight.

>not lifting weights or playing sports
Extremely shallow, even comparing to the previous statement of fucking bitches. If you think being healthy revolves around lifting and playing sports, you are mistaken... that, IF you do lifting and sports to be healthy, not not to impress the opposite sex, in which case, as before, your opinion holds no weight.

>not experiencing amazing in the world
What is that supposed to mean? There is no objective amazing. If you are referring to doing drugs and get wasted in the club, then, once again, your opinion holds no weight.

>not having a business and making money
One does not simple "have a business". This statement alone proves that you literally have no idea of what you're talking bout and you are likely part of the majority middle class. Also, as a person who "has money" let me tell you that I'm in no way happier than I was when I was poor enough to literally eat on the floor because i could not afford a table and chairs.

>sitting in your house playing video games like a pleb
The verdict is that your opinion is bottom tier and I would rather listen to a 5 bucks improve yourself book's advice that whatever you're trying to say here.

>>6836683
Work is the leading cause of death.

>>6836686
>Exploring the world means you have enough money to do it, means you must work extra hard for that amount of money and time to do it... or you're leeching off your parents
Or go teach English somewhere. Generally that involves low hours and enough money to live/travel on.

>>6836686
>There is no objective amazing
Not the same anon, but there doesn't need to be. Something's amazing if it makes you think 'wow, that was amazing'. In my experience, vidya very, very rarely provides that feeling, and provides it less and less the more you play.

Playing lots of vidya is, for me at least, pretty much the same feeling as watching porn or browsing dank memes on 4chan... a long, long way from amazing.

My number for Asian women is 19 so far (life time), I lived in many different Asian countries and had many different Asian girlfriends (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese)

The only Asian girlfriend I haven't had yet is Monogolian and Nepalese. Finding a Mongolian is like finding a rare pokemon.

I kind of stopped reading after I found work. I'm not sure exactly when I stopped. I work long shifts but few days, so you would think that I would be productive since it's a work hard, play hard kind of thing, but I mostly just sleep and drown my life in video games during my days off.

Now I don't read because I'm supposed to be studying for the most important exam of my life, so I feel like any time I spend reading is time wasted since I should be reading exam material instead. The problem is that I don't study either. It's a vicious cycle.

But that's how it is. At a certain age you're supposed to stop shitting yourself, stop leeching from your parents and obviously stop wasting your times smashing buttons.

>>6839232
Told you, until I die of alcohol poisoning.

Or until I get tired of getting wasted 7 nights a week. Most English teachers are in there mid to late 20s, though there are lots who are in their 30s. Known a few who are in their 40s and 50s, they been here since the 1990s, have wife and kids.

>>6836436

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with video games in the abstract, but in reality they are all shit, poorly written or time sinks.

They might be slightly above wasting your time on TV, but overall they are just worthless.

Unless you are making money off them somehow you should probably stop playing them ASAP

>>6839575

'Inherently wrong' makes sense in this case because the point is there is nothing bad in the concept of video games as a medium.

The concept of a medium is an abstract category.

Stop being a butthurt gaymer and grow up.

>>6839600

Spending your time on video games is even more pathetic than spending your time working TBH.
People who work then come home and play video games to "unwind" are the absolute worst.


NEET + No video games is god tier.
