Xorgy taking out a loan isn't a good idea, it's too easy to get into debt I think,.

What do you do and how did you pay for everything to get there?

Did you pay your own way?

Or did your parents?

I want the story.

@Thanatos it may be a shite idea, but I don't see why he puts it in the category with welfare.

No, crawling out of poverty is not easy.

@Gear he's not in poverty

Fair enough.

@Gear he's in limbo

It's tough like life you just have to work.

Hahaha I thought you were a girl 😊

Ah.

I stayed with my parents, saved up money, paid for an IT course

@Gear he obviously doesn't have to work, which is why he isn't working.

What job did you work that was able to pay for the IT course.

@Gear he lives with his mother, but refuses to even try to start to work, because he believes it's beneath him.

Stop leaving this shit out.

I'M BEING ATTACKED BY BRONIES AND TRANSTESTICLES

I'm going to ask anyway.

One that paid barely above min wage

So it paid above minimum wage

Well I've got no such option

How much is barely

Bullshit.

And what was the job

You're looking for excuses lol

I worked in QA

What you do now Scrib?

After a year or so of working with no expenses and minimal expenditure you will have enough

https://www.indeed.com/

Literally

use this website.

Fuck you I'm not looking for excuses I'm asking you questions

QA?

Quality Assurance

***THE TOOLS ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL***

What even is that

For vidya

It's your own fault for not using them

Where the fuck was this

You look at people's shit, and tell them if it's shit or not, and how.

This sounds like a bustling area.

Lots of OT, not a huge amount of spare time

Can somebody ask scrib what county he lives in?

or at least some broad coordinates?

Some weeks I would just come home, sleep, go out to work the next day

That happened to me too.

But it was minimum wage.

Came away from that job with nothing saved. No way to save.

At one place I did that for a month, every day

Should try and work in the pharmacy at CVS

9:30 til 10, 11, got home on one of the last buses

Got up the next morning, back to work

No experience or education above high school required, pays above min wage. Might be hard to get if there is no slots open, and it's a bit mind numbing as it's mostly counting pills

Now imagine doing that but being paid 7.50 an hour

@Coochie coo He doesn't work, his mother pays his way.

Dude, I live in the fucking desert and I manage to find jobs.

You deffiantly can.

#desertlivesmatter

Nothing is here other than military bases and such.

The last time I sent out applications I got zero response. There was not an interview involved.

They were entry level.

Keep trying.

How many applications?

No.

You will get rejected.

After awhile you're just done.

A year and a half of that with no OT will get you about 20k after transit expenses at 7.5 m8

You don't have that option to just give up.

I'm an experienced professional, and I've been rejected like... 400 times this year.

Which you then use to get training to get a better job

Everyone gets rejected constantly.

You don't just stop trying because you got rejected.

And if your art starts up on the side that accelerates the process

You only need to be accepted once to get a job.

It's not going to start up on the side.

I'm not going after commissions anymore, it's a shitshow. I'm going to complete a game or nothing happens at all.

...

:oroborous: would be nice

Work part time then. Low number of shifts

> doesn't know what QA is
> will complete game or nothing else in life

You don't follow the whole "It's too distracting to the art" bit

Patches a hole in your resume
Gets you some income
Gets you out of the house more
You meet more people

It's not like exercise where you release endorphins and feel better and more confident after doing it.

Working a part time job, and then intending to do art after you get home, only ever works on paper.

It's actually exactly like that.

You get home, and you're a husk.

and also like that sometimes, lol.

Just yiff

Whoever that is, I still don't read these.

Stop replying.

its xorgy

Yeah, I don't care, Scrib. I want other people to read what I'd be saying to you, because I'm a dick. Sue me.

you blocked xorgy? lol

For the rest of the conversation yeah.

He's not contributing.

Yes he is.

<:NPC:500042527231967262>

He sucks at this, bad.

Here is something I don't understand. Why is it that the far left are screeching 'Let girls be girls' while also screeching that letting boys be boys is problematic?

You're just consistantly saying "OH IT DOESN'T WORK"

Somehow

He's actually been super constructive

@Braydon Oh puny mind, surely you jest. It is because boys are wrong and girls are right.

Tim is getting more pissed

No he hasn't.

And guys are inherently rapists too. @xorgy

I'm the one who has been reading his input m8

It's not like girls can rape anyone. Oh no.

Yeah but you're biased.

oh they cancelled iron fist? :/

@Braydon Now, don't get into a rut like our friend scrib, there are lots of nice people out there who aren't judging you like that, you just have to live the best life _you_ can.

Yeah they did

You leave parts out of the stories you tell me that I end up asking about

i actually liked that one

And getting more vague answers

I read his messages.

When you say "He's giving good advice" my bullshit meters go off.

What have I left out?

I don't think Scribby really wants help.

@Braydon do _your_ best.

You never told me the wage.

<:NPC:500042527231967262>

You just dismiss it as "Oh it doesn't work"

And then block

Lol.

I had to beat "QA" out of you.

Not your business

***NPC RAGE***

What is the point to leaving it vague to begin with.

It is my business if you're trying to inspire me.

You didn't lol, you asked, I answered

Then shut up.

Not my business? You're free to shut up about it.

You didn't "beat it out of me"

Why tell me anything? Not my business.

Who crapped in your cheerios?

It's none of my business. Stop talking.

My wage and my employer are not your business

Shush.

Seriously, I didn't understand the concept of "entitlement" until I started reading this shit.

Making my points for me all of a sudden.

I told you how quickly you could earn 20k at 7.5/hr

> I'm so special, I have _dignity_, unlike all those fools who work for a living.
— Scrib

20k is nothing.

So is 0k.

That's a car, maybe. I'm fatally worried about my existing car breaking down.

20k is over what I paid for my course

Scrib has a car.

I'm not blowing it on courses.

Hey Scrib, you have a gun? Sell it.

I want a place to live and create my art until my game is finished.

"Why would I invest money in making more money? Lol"

I could bring my coder friend from Missouri to take the vow of poverty with me.

Work a part time than, save up look for a better job.

Better hours, better wages, better prospects

See, your plan works on optimism.

> *I could bring my coder friend from Missouri to take the vow of poverty with me.*
This is a literal suicide pact, it is not funny anymore.

I don't have optimism.

I'm not going to assume a better job will crop up.

No, it just works

They never ever did.

It most likely will if you look and hunt for it.

Has done, continues to do

I'm not going to change my brain chemistry entirely for a new line of work.

You dont have to

it's TOO DISTRACTING FROM WHAT I'M ALREADY TRYING TO LEARN ALL THE TIME.

I cannot do both, understand?

Literally

You can

Get any job

The work has to require a warm body, and no courses.

The other plan you're talking about, leads to a gunbarrel.

Sell the gun.

It doesn't lol

Why the fuck did you buy the gun in the first place?

You're not me. Yes it does.

Just stop dichotomising

No.

Scrib spends his daylight hours on the Tim Pool Discord instead of doing this shit he is "TRYING TO LEARN ALL THE TIME" to use his own words.

You can do both

No.

I know myself. I can do one.

I'm already doing "both" of something.

Then why are you here

but getting an education, or doing work... no, that would be too distracting.

Writing and art and coding.

And not perfecting your game

That's too many different things already.

I'm not going into trades.

I'm here because it's an alt-tab away.

You have been constantly typing

You're actively enganging.

You haven't stopped *once*

And I'm spreading awareness of how much boomers fucked everything to pieces.

Yes my WPM is 92.

Your life isnt fucked

Yeah it is.

It's on a timebomb.

Social security dries up.

Everything hinges on me using that later. I won't.

And there's a defusal kit right next to you that you aren't using.

(because you refuse to work)

Its hilariously fixable

No it isn't.

It is

It involves raising taxes. No it isn't.

Shut the hell up about taxing people more, cunt.

*everyone else here overcame this problem*

Call me a liar just now.

Do it.

Say what I said wasn't accurate.

Higher taxes right?

Fuck you.

No, you're just making excuses

M8 I'm a libertarian

(Not denying what I said)

(Look.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNSt3wJXZk0

Interesting. Avoided the point.

Went rogue.

What does Bill Burr say in this situation.

If every single person is telling you the same thing

Projection your honour

*Maybe* you should humor it?

Answer the concern, Bee

Social security is hilarious fixed howwwwwww?

TELL US.

Holy fuck how entitled could you be?

SAY IT.

**SAY. IT.**

Harvard - devoted to racism 👌

"You can fix your personal situation"
"Social security is fucked you want higher taxes"
"What?"
"You're dodging!!!!!!"

Tell us how to fix social security Beemann.

This question is not going away.

I'm pressing it.

Don't fix it

It's the eternal question.

Fix your own shit

Bee, you fucking walked into this. It's not my fault.

Can I get you a ladder?

So you can get off that horse?

No, you're backpedaling

Social security is fucked. You said it could be fixed. I'm asking how.

You shouldn't have said it.

You shouldn't have lied.

I was talking about your issues not social security

Answer the question.
