To quote the article,

just do it—do it right now.

Ok fine. Wait I don't have a PS5 and now I don't have a job. Dang it.

You can come use mine and I'll use you as inspiration to quit.

Please don't tempt me, I am barely holding on.

I've made it 9 months since I quit.

Lotta chicken and rice but I thought I'd take my retirement before I die in the food wars

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Bruh, I aim to the water wars. That's starting next year, I believe.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hmm that's an interesting chicken or egg problem. Which will come first, the food wars or the water wars?

I've been jobless for around 2 years now because of depression and shit, finally got back into working and I hate myself for not starting up my world of warcraft career back up. I could be a wow king by now 🙃😂

i did this last winter; i firmly believe everyone has and needs slovenly unemployment periods to remind you of the perils of not working [but in equal measure, the bliss of not working and the amount of luxury you can just coast on]

I'm doing this right now. It's the first time in 10 years I haven't had someplace I needed to be 5 days a week. It's really changing my perspective on what I need out of a job and what I could be improving in my life if I weren't spending that time working.

For real. Who has money for a PS5?

If only I had a PS5...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I can quit my job and play PS5 for 15 minutes?

Literally what I have been doing since last month. I made it a bit more challenging by going on a vacation for a week too.

The guy in the picture is not playing FIFA. If he was he'd be frowning and smashing his controller
