    I’m basically just waiting to get fired and I’ll probably end up doing this. Like, I’ll try to find a new job, but there’s a good chance I can’t.

        Well the point of the article is that it wouldn’t suck… until you run out of money.

              It’s hard to enjoy things when you know you’ll be in the street in X amount of days.

    they aren’t allowed to do forceful bits like the weatherman predicting societal collapse in NYC, but they still know the math on how this country works and they still want to push that button as hard as any of us

    My grandmother passed and left me a bit of money, and I’ve been having to resist the urge to do this so badly, since I’ve been kinda pissed off at my job lately.

      lmao yeah, i’ve been saving money like fucking mr scrooge this year believing that at some point this year there were going to be massive cuts, and i was right! there were massive cuts, except i didn’t get the axe. so now i have months worth of savings, probably a year if i get really really frugal (just rent, and amenities and basic food stuff) and i’m sooo tempted to just quit and do nothing. take the chance to work out in public parks or something. write a book. start a psych rock band. make a video game.

    I feel that. I’m overdue for a staycation. Spending all this Labor Day watching youtubers and not touching my hobbies out of decision paralysis.

    If I wasn’t a parent I would seriously consider quitting my job and taking a year long sabbatical to just play street fighter vi full time. See if I could actually manage to get to top 8 in something.
