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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Unforeseen 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

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]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months 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.

If only I had a PS5...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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