I’m in the bed in the middle of my room gang, never had bed bugs.

Me. I don’t need my bed clapping against the wall alerting my incredibly nosy neighbors to my evening activities.

Stay up longer. Wake up tired. Do your job really half-assed all day. Let your employer have the worse you.

Did this while younger, it can work for some time but don’t underestimate the consequences to your health from not getting enough sleep.
Aquila@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
How much younger are we talkin? Asking cause I’m getting older and wanna know when that’s gonna tell life to kick me in the nuts

Hah they still actually look forward to playing the game, instead of just playing it to fill the time.

Get up at 6. Work will 6. 1hr to make dinner. 2 hrs awake with wife. Go to bed at 9. Wake up at 530 and cry for 30 min.
Rerpeat adinfinium until i finally die. This is no way to live.
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This is no way to live.
I wonder what would happen if everyone who felt this way all at once just decided to stop. All at once, everyone turns around and goes home. How many people would it be? Half? 3/4? Most of them?
We almost got to experience a change when Covid hit, the only bright spot, but it was soon eclipsed by corporate buzzwords and inspirational music montages on powerpoint telling us how happy we are to return to offices and ten hours of driving and 1/8 of our paycheck on gas every goddamn week so we can sit in a visible place while we waste time reading emails that don’t pertain to us and attending meetings about initiatives that are meant only to make the shareholders think we’re doing something.

I’m working towards just this, not a tent necessarily but a very small house/shack, gonna get some dogs and chickens and probably work at a local grocery or do art until I die.
I am not making much progress. I wonder who tf is buying houses.
Asafum@feddit.nl 11 months ago
You could afford to work part time remotely
If you’re a professional that even has that option. Factory workers and blue collar schmucks like myself are chained to a radius around available work :(

MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
This is 100% truth.
When you’re young, you have a lot of free time and no money to enjoy that time
When you get into a career, you have money, and no time.
When you retire, you have money and time (to some extent), but you’re old and likely not able to enjoy things nearly as much as you would have been able to when you were younger (generally due to body aches and whatnot).
Being middle/lower “class”, you’re basically fucked.

Disaster@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
No, it gets much worse.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s easy! Just take 100% of your free time and throw it away on a far-off dream so you’re completely exhausted. Go into debt trying to get a fancy degree to maybe increase your earning potential.
More seriously, if you feel you’re in the same position:
If you’re privileged enough and have the willpower, you might be able to find a happier work environment (though it requires sacrificing your already meager free time by searching for jobs constantly for 6-12 months or more). I know folks for whom that’s paid off - very impressed with them. May also be some online courses or community colleges around that could open doors.If your situation is impossible, I’m sorry. I feel for you.
John_McMurray@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Fucking pathetic. I hope you don’t actually feel this way, mindset is literally the biggest obstacle.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Feel what way?
I am privileged and happy. I do believe folks who are not happy should consider investing their time understanding other potential available opportunities including work, training, and higher education.
Obviously a, say, severely disabled person whose paycheck is captured by their abusive partner cannot apply my advice, so in that nearly impossible situation I sympathize.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Seeing reality for what it is and not giving up is the opposite of pathetic. Pathetic is assuming someone who sees life that way is going to be overcome by their mindset. Denial isn’t necessary to function.
plaidman@programming.dev 11 months ago
No but it does get worse after you have kids. Ah who am I kidding, this is a greentext post.
ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But then you get kids. Definitely better than video games.
Aermis@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Father of 3 kids under 6, I still play an hour or so a day, some weekends I get a night to play with friends.
And I have time for work in commercial electrician. Come home to work on my garden, chickens, greenhouse, and hang with the kids and family.
Going to be doing my own solar in the next week or two. Tonight going to a mtg mh3 event with a friend to play some magic.
All weekend to chill with my children, wife, and enjoy some parks. Once kids are asleep I’ll watch a movie with my wife.
Life is good. Time for everything.

Yep I got one and videogames aren’t even in my radar. I don’t even have a gaming computer anymore
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He only has two hours after work before he has to go to sleep? That’s like a 70 hour work week!
ThoGot@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I mean you still have to get home first, then probably cook and eat something, shower, etc.
All of that takes time as wellChev@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have about 3h of gaming after work during the week. So the meme is pretty accurate about this part. But I also have free weekends, enough vacation time and a job that doesn’t drain much energy. So I’m fine currently.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Can confirm. I am currently in the meme.

It surely gets better if you can make the necessary changes to your life to improve this.
I never hear anyone talk like this who doesn’t live in the suburbs with a huge commute. I live in a city and can get to work in 15 minutes without a car.
My schedule is:
- 6:00am: Wake up, shower, eat breakfast, get dressed.
- 6:45am: Leave for work.
- 7:00am: Arrive at work.
- 12:00pm: Lunch hour.
- 4:00pm: Leave work.
- 4:15pm: Arrive home and unwind.
- 5:00pm: Workout.
- 5:30pm: Prepare Dinner.
- 6:15pm: Eat Dinner.
- 6:45: Clean up kitchen and other parts of home.
- 7:00pm: Movies, Video Games, Social Time, Sex Time.
- 10:00pm: Go to bed
That gives me a full 6 hours between finishing work and going to bed. If I choose an easy dinner, I hardly have to do anything less than fun after work, and I work in a cool part of town so I don’t actually have to go commute anywhere. I can be drinking at a bar within 5 minutes of clocking out, and I don’t have to drive home. Any other errands I make in a week are within walking distance of my home or work.
Before I moved, my schedule was:
- 5:45am: Wake up, shower, eat breakfast, get dressed.
- 6:30am: Leave for work.
- 8:00am: Arrive at work.
- 12:00pm: Lunch hour.
- 5:00pm: Leave work.
- 6:30pm: Arrive home and unwind.
- 7:00pm: Prepare Dinner.
- 7:45pm: Eat Dinner.
- 8:15pm: Clean up kitchen and other parts of home.
- 8:30pm: Movies, Video Games, Social Time, Sex Time.
- 9:45pm: Go to bed
So that gave me an entire 3.25 hours after getting home, giving me no time to fit a workout in without giving up other leisure activities. This doesn’t even factor in that everywhere else I needed to run errands was a 15-30 minute drive away.

The largest predictor of divorce is a commute longer than 45 minutes.
SwampYankee@mander.xyz 11 months ago
I’ve had some pretty long commutes in the past because my work location changes every few years. I enjoy the work, though, so that helps, but I’ve still been feeling the OP lately. I’m in my late 30s and I don’t have kids and “fun” doesn’t really do it for me anymore. More and more I need to feel like I’m doing something worthwhile instead of aimless hedonism. I’ll figure it out, though, it’s just time to make some, as you say, necessary changes again.
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Making sure you have time is important. My schedule breakdown isn’t really the blueprint of my life. I belong to social groups, and I volunteer. I have hobbies and projects that I work on.
If you don’t have enough unstructured time, you’ll never have the opportunity to build structure around it.

I mean if anything, surely that justifies their claim of wage slavery even more no?

Indeed, and I’m not saying his pain doesn’t exist, but I am making it very clear that it can be much much worse.

Yes, but maybe worth prioritizing in your career.

At first it looked like Photoshop, and I know it is, but I just realised… it’s that dude from that double suicide photo, isn’t it? Russian dude and his girlfriend?
BenFranklinsDick@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What the fuck man. It’s Ryan Gosling.
fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Oh, so it is. That’s reassuring. The photo is from the ancient times of the net. Very peaceful, the guy like he’s sleeping except it’s in the snow so you know something is amiss. That pic with its weird vibe reminded me of it.
Also… have you actually been to 4chan, my friend? Where do you think I was exposed to a suicide pic (as SFW as it was) without warning…?
