No.15516
>>15505Unpopular opinion, but a job serves merely to survive. Most jobs are not contributing to society, the way economic hierarchies are built today, and are actively depleting our resource base and destroying our home. People have jobs because we need to survive and are for the most part coerced into mantaining the system.
That's why I sympathize with NEETs, employment fucking sucks, and if you (1) don't want to do it and (2) can avoid it, by all means, do. But you need to learn how to sustain yourself in the long term, how to avoid mind-rot usually due to idleness or screens, or a combination thereof, and so on, and this leads you to the need to work somehow. And employment is the easiest way out which is why so many people do it. It's hard to do otherwise: to be your own boss, to profit from your passion, to live moneylessly, to achieve a passive income, to trade stocks, etc.
Either of these activities, or something like doing research in academia or getting a high paying job doing something truly interesting, requires a proportional effort in study and experience, which is a function of time, over which you of course need to have food in your mouth and a roof over your head.
You talk of moving forward, but where are you heading? Does the rat race really sound like moving forward? Or do you have a vision of a life that you would like to realize? Have you thought about it? If you are dissatisfied with the standard employment model, as you should be if there's still a shred of life and humanity in your body, then you need to make a good effort, to evaluate, to plan, and to seek the actual life that you want to live lest you want to become entombed in a meaningless existence for the next ~50 years.

>15505>What is the point of getting a job?>Becoming strong? >Never giving up?I have a more materialist viewpoint because I grew up disabled, but the point of all this is not to die.
If I don't get a job I will die from lack of medication. If I don't become strong I can't get a job that pays well enough to retire with a disability. If I give up for even a day, even an hour, and even a minute I will literally die from my disability. If I don't try everyday my only options will be death from my disability or dying from suicide because I couldn't afford to care for myself.
>I had to think of a life where I don't get to be with this person, I see no reason on moving forward. I just wonder if this is the right thing.This makes me think it's less a chronic confusion in you're life and more an acute reaction to your breakup. I recommend reading a few books on coping with grief.
>>15509>You try searching for motivational things there, and it's just sunken chest mofos that always friendly lady about everything, claiming that it's never enough.I relate to that. It reminds me of this interesting post I saw where it was warning chronic pain patients to not take multiple tylenols at once because at a certain point it wouldn't help and it would lead to organ failure and all the comments were complaining about how "what do you want me to do. My doctor wont take my pain seriously. I have to do this" when the creator clearly stated more pills don't make pain go away and more pills will kill you or leave you with another disability. When given life saving advice they rather be cynical and pessimistic.
I just ignore them now, but they are irritating when I try to ask career questions online.

>>16026It's actually pretty easy to make! Assuming you can find the correct type of rice flours you need. Here's my attempt from last year :>
>>16028yeah the biggest land dwelling species that people keep as a hobby are pic related. It'd be very cool to get some!

>>16030ohhhh it looks so tasty

is that, what sauce is that, the one I asked for last sunday had this sauce that was made out of soy sauce with some sugar, I forgot the name of it sadly
No.16034
>>16033Yup that is the sauce! It's made by boiling sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and some cornstarch to thicken it. I just followed the recipe here:

>>16050Got a nice community going on with Glowlight Tetras, Cherry Barbs, Pepper Corys and a beautiful Pearl Gourami along with a ton of Cherry Shrimp and Ramshorn Snails, plus a couple Amano Shrimp. It's a bit busy but everything's running smoothly, don't intend to add anything more.
What, if anything, do you plan to keep in your terrarium?
No.16055
>>16054I looked up all those fish and Cherry Barbs look beautiful! I love the shrimp too, they're just cool
>What, if anything, do you plan to keep in your terrarium?I wanna get a cool Isopod morph to put in there, since I've been having a lot of fun watching the wild ones I caught. Currently considering these three most strongly

>>16095Thanks. It really isn't enjoyable anymore but luckily it's the kind of job I can't be fired from (though I also can't quit) so it's easy to take it easy.

>>16132can't you quit the military in countries without mandatory service?
No.16138
>>16132Yeah
>>16137Depends on the country I think. I know the Dutch military is unionized and the Germans have some kind of guild so maybe that's the case there but I know they both ended conscription pretty recently. Here you sign a contract with a term of service you're you're legally obligated to finish. You can get medically discharged or get kicked out for stuff like legal problems or getting fat but you can't really just quit.

>>16138i like how you call it "work", since that was pretty much my attitude towards my service. despite living and working in a military base and even participating in mock operations, at the end of the day i was just a warehouse worker so i couldn't look at it as anything other than a job.
No.16141
>>16137US military service isn't mandatory, but you are obligated to finish your contract or you face a dishonorable discharge. This doesn't have legal consequences, but it has social consequences, such as being unable to purchase firearms.
No.16142
>>16140Yeah I see it like any other public sector job but spicier. I worked closely with a lot of civilians at my last unit. It's kind of funny that I'm less happy now that I'm in a more combat-oriented unit, since I originally joined for the chance to go to war. That's peacetime garrison life I guess.
