    Unless Anon is willing to put in some serious work, like properly going back to school or busting their ass learning (and getting good at) a trade, then their life is kinda fucked.

    You can’t just crawl out of almost 20 years of NEETing into really any kind of job, especially without the charisma to at least try masking it.

    Also fuck knows why Anon’s parents just let them drop out of school and basically cease to exist outside of playing videogames for best part of two decades. That’s plain bad parenting.

    It sounds like you’d be comfortable in prison. There is probably a Luigi to-do list somewhere you could pick a name from and then arrange to join him in a neighboring cell.

      Hoenstly, probably better than being homeless. Life in prison as a local hero among inmates for deposing a capitalist.

        I was homeless, and also briefly in jail for doing something others had respected; jail sucks and is never preferable, but it certainly made things a lot easier than it would have been had I not entered with respect. On my first day I was receiving gatorades, instant noodles, and muffins from people stopping by my cell. I even was given all the paper and pencils I wanted to do my art.

        Homelessness was risky, but I would still choose it over jail with respect. Not to say that the sacrifice wouldn’t be worth it if you did the right thing.

          Just out of sheer curiosity… What’d you do to get respected right away? Aside from merc’ing a CEO or a pedophile, I can’t think of many other things.

            I really don’t want to describe too much as my identity could be found from it, but it helped that it was all over the news. Before anyone realized that it was me, people were trying to intimidate me from the cells by yelling things at me. Once people found out that the news was about me, things turned around fast.

    How hard are 6 figure jobs to get?

    High School dropout NEET directly to 6-figure would probably need to involve selling drugs or something, right?

      Drug trade seems ill-advised if you have that little social skills. Where do you get your drugs? How do you avoid getting stabbed etc. by your buyers and the people who sell to you? A lot of these people are aggressive and carry weapons, you really don’t want to be the type who doesn’t have the social awareness to avoid pissing them off accidentally.

        Maybe Darknet Markets would be an option then. You can’t get stabbed through the screen and trust becomes a matter of cryptography instead of social deduction. But you need some non-trivial computer skills and a healthy dose of paranoia.

            There’s a reason two of the biggest rules of online purchasing are “never use your real name” and “never accept a package you have to sign for.” Doesn’t matter if you just bought $5k in drugs; The seller won’t require a signature on delivery.

            If the delivery guy wants a signature, they’re an undercover cop and you bought from a honeypot (or they sniffed your package in the mail sorting room and intercepted it.) The UC wants you to put ink on paper accepting the package as yours, to prove you bought it. Because otherwise your lawyer can go “how do we know my client ordered it? It didn’t have their name on it! It was probably a neighbor getting it delivered to a nearby house, and the prosecution hasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt that my client actually purchased the drugs.”

    Being obese and being poor are mutually exclusive.

    Edit because y’all are actually insane for taking this comment seriously.

    However barring health disorders, being poor means you can barely afford food. Just because you spend all your money on McDonalds double quarter pounders and have no money at the end of the month doesn’t mean you’re poor. Walking is free. Eating vegetables is cheaper than buying meat. There is no secret to losing weight. Stop buying processed foods and eat more vegetables, take a walk around the block once a day. Stop making excuses for being lazy.

    Before anyone says it doesn’t work for everyone, yes that is obvious. Again stop making excuses for lazy people. The majority of people can lose weight from light exercise and eating less food.

      The nicest way that i can put it is that this has been true for most of human history until industrialization, let’s say that the 50’s is when industrial food starts to make poor people fat.

      The less nice way to put it is that this hasn’t been true for 70 years. You are completely clueless to health food and poverty in the 20th century, let alone the 21st. Nowadays, eating nothing but the cheapest food will in fact make you fat, this is one of the main concerns of nutritional science today.
