Don’t you fucking tempt me

To quote the article,

just do it—do it right now.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Because you commit suicide after 2 weeks?

What are you waiting for?

Well, some like a little bit of comfort. Just sitting a cold house all day and drinking only water is not for everybody.

Well look at Mr Money Bags over here with access to clean water.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And a house!

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A cold house at that! Where I am it's 30 degrees C in September and everything's on fire so you can't even open the windows. I'd love to be in a cold house right now.

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

[–] ogeist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 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 (2 children)

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

It's Brasilian Jiu-jitsu. Saved you a Google search.

I don't understand why everyone in the internet thinks people will understand their niche subcultures' acronyms. US military people are the worst culprits.

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.

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
