Don’t you fucking tempt me

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.

There are stranger way for two people to get together. And bump-intos with coffee cups and piles of paper are worn out.

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

[-] oldGregg@lemm.ee 45 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ogeist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Neato@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

There are ways to purify your own water, as long as the contaminants aren't from something like nuclear, biological or chemical warfare. Subsistence farming is a LOT harder.

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]

[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 16 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] DasRubberDuck@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

If only I had a PS5...

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] iminahurry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think anyone playing any game has that expression on their face while playing.

I could take more than a year off before I run out of money. But finding rentals without a job is impossible regardless of how much savings you have. Atleast in Australia where you get evicted atleast once a year because the owner wants to move in

Amateurs.... I have been doing this for more than a decade. Thank you Satoshi
