This is why companies have cheap toilet paper by the way. Not because they necessarily hate their employees, but because it would get stolen and they'd need three times as much.

Also one of the reasons why the huge rolls exist like you see at airports: impractical to use at home.

I stole one of those huge rolls from college once. It dispenses just fine on the floor.

Yeah but then you're wiping floor on your ass.

College, they've done worse to themself.

Fraud, theft, and bad spelling.

Ah yes. How to get by without a job:

  • Fraud (false warranty claims)
  • Theft (stealing coins from vending machine)
  • Gambling (crypto)
  • Literally just self-employment (starting a drop shipping business/flipping things on eBay)

All this put together sounds like a job

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago

A less ethical, worse paid, more hours than a job.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Yeah! I can’t be bothered with all this shit, I’ll just be a wagie instead.

Anon is NEET but has a flatmate? Isn’t part of being NEET living with parents?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

not necessarily. some people get on unemployment and ride it out for years.

Crypto trade

There's where all the money went I guess. Gotta steal toilet paper to leverage that crypto position. (After you've already lost everything several times)

That last one is unforgivable.

The last three are horseshit.

Say what you will about the morality of the other but at least they are reasonably likely to actually work.

The last three are not.

Crypto is insane horseshit unless you are running a scam, which at best is a huge amount of effort and at worst is oops time to flee to thailand.

Drop shipping and 'picking' is basically boomer nonsense that requires a huge investment of time, space and money to conceivably make it worthwhile, and it almost always goes wrong, and you end up with a garage or storage unit full of useless crap that won't sell either at all, or for a profit.

There are so many ways you can get fucked as a buyer or seller on eBay, its ludicrous.

Flipping second-hand goods hasn't been viable at any worthwhile scale in over a decade. Too many people know how to use the Internet now, and usually google their shit before it goes on the garage sale or flea market table. The days of finding that rare vase or vintage toy that the owner doesn't know the value of are gone.

Downloading torrents on a friend's internet is worse.

Use a cafe instead.

Anon still calls mom and dad multiple times a month for money.
