More importantly, how do you eat for $10/day without access to a kitchen
Hoimo@ani.social 3 weeks ago
Uhmmm, you don’t have to cook doritos, wagie.
Rooster326@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
You can eat very cheaply if you don’t plan on living long, or healthy.

There’s creative location. Rooftops, empty houses, abandoned properties and so on

How do they check if you’re homeless? Couldn’t you just rent a property and tell nobody?
In Germany you are required to register your address with the authorities and your landlord has to register you as well. But as far as I know there is no such central registration of all citizens in the US. Isn’t that one of the reasons why there’s always such a big hassle to get enrolled as a voter?

Personally, I’d rather these wastes collect 700 a month to be homeless than work alongside them. But I’ve been told I have a difficult disposition, nobody wants to work with me, either.
Nobody is happy

I’d rather them just have safe places to sleep than clog up the psych ward. I wanna provide a safe comfy playpen for people so manic / psychotic they don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground then release them safely back into the world to continue a fulfilling existence once they come out of it. Instead we have a rotating roster of homeless people trying to figure out the right thing to say to prolong their stay as much as possible then literally threatening to kill me when they have to follow the rules meant to keep the manic / psychotic people safe from themselves.

Did anyone tell him SF is really fucking cold at night. It’s not like socal homeless beach sleeping, it’s miserable.
This would be a punishing miserable existence and hence is obvious bait. If you fell for it, I suggest more education on the homeless experience.

Surprised to not see this thread flooded with NEET defenders claiming it isn’t really like that. I’ve witnessed this shit with my own eyes. These people aren’t disabled, they are entitled. NEET is a choice. There are so many people who are genuinely unable to function in society. Folks with crippling anxiety, or other disabilities. They are not this.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I will say, billionaires also sit on their ass all day and get paid millions they use to actively make my life more miserable; and while NEETs are an issue, they are not my top priority on “people I am pissed at.”
Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I think they’re both failures of society, if we’re being honest with ourselves.
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
If we melt down the billionaires and start a UBI then the people who won’t or can’t contribute will be a burden spread thin instead of being a heavy weight on their families. My reasons for resentment of NEET by choice are personal.
Hoimo@ani.social 3 weeks ago
It isn’t really like what? NEET is a choice, but NEET is also a defense mechanism to make failure look like a choice. I was a proud NEET for a while and I still have some online NEET friends, and all of them have some underlying problem that they don’t want to admit (autism, in my case). Also, very often the parents enable it unwittingly. They’re supportive for too long, never get external help, then either keep enabling (too proud to admit their mistake) or turn abusive (and make the distrust worse).
Now, getting a bus ticket to a strange city and living in a Starbucks? None of my NEET friends would ever dare do such a terrifying thing. Outside is where the dangers live. Maybe if they thought the inside threat was real enough, but… enabling parents, see?

These people aren’t disabled, they are entitled. NEET is a choice
Just because NEET anons often post stories about how they beat the system, doesn’t mean that’s actually the reason why they’re NEET. The label NEET is a choice, but being longterm unemployed typically isn’t. And you know the deal about anecdotal evidence.
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Well I don’t fucking care what you believe. There is a difference between someone who cannot work and provide for themselves and someone who simply refuses to work. The person in this post very much exists. She was my daughter. So fuck you.

What’s a NEET?
Furbag@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
NEET is an acronym that means Not in Employment, Education or Training. Essentially, it describes someone who is neither working nor going to school and likely not job seeking either. NEETs are usually financially supported by their parents or other family members.
masinko@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not employed, in education or training. In education or training usually implies that it’s to get a job later.
It usually more specifically someone who chooses not to pursue a job or career prospects. (Ie: being laid off for long periods of time but still looking for work doesnt count)
EldenLord@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Which is disappointing because universal basic income would be a good thing to have for a lot of people who are genuinely struggling.
But for those who are not disabled, to get them to work and not chill on NEETbucks all year ‘round, the economy would have to be in a good shape and effort would have to pay off and not make all profits disappear into the billionaires’ pockets.
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Well, if we boil down all the billionaires, we’d be well on the way to providing a UBI. Right now the NEETs are just a burden that most of us can’t afford.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yep. I know plenty of pope who work menial jobs and whine all day and drink a lot… they are all from wealthy families and are just waiting for their folks to die and/or their trust to mature. they know they don’t have to do jack shit in life and they tend to look down on people who work hard… as losers.

I have severe depression and constant thoughts of suicide. I have a serious self harm habit. I burn my arm so frequently that the top of it is mostly scar tissue. I should not be working, I should be in in patient therapy because it’s not a matter of if but when am I going to go too far and off myself.
I still have a job. I live in constant poverty, and live paycheck to paycheck, but I still have a job and support myself.

How are they affording a laptop? Especially if it breaks.
What are they then gonna do? Wank to their imagination all day?
LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You can a used laptop for like $50 if all you’re doing is browsing the internet on it.

Where? They completely neglect to mention their sleeping arrangements. Sleeping on the street doesn’t really fit in with the “I beat the system” story that anon is telling us. I do assume that’s part of the joke, though.
