My first (and frankly, only) job was 7 days a week for upwards of 12 hours a day doing manual labour for minimum wage. Thankfully I talked to the manager and because I was only 15 at the time (my cunt grandmother forced me to get the job despite the hours) I managed to get the weekends off.

Only had to do it for a couple of months during the school holidays. Can't imagine having to do it full time. Even 40 hours a week feels like far too much.

No idea. Didn't check. Probably. I assumed it was. You'd get paid overtime or whatever the fuck it was called.

I live in a backward shithole though so it's possible that despite the amount of people employed there (and how rigorous they were about punishing people for being high on the job) that they were breaking labour laws but either nobody there cared because they wanted the money or they didn't know better.

I'm in my mid thirties, I haven't had a friend since I was 15 years old, I live alone, and I work 40 hours a week. I'm probably the happiest and most content I've ever been in my life. If you base your ability to be happy on external circumstances then you're bound to be unhappy no matter where you are or what you're doing.

And what "stuff" would that be? Any kind fo "stuff" you're doing is almost certainly being done because you hope to gain some sort of happiness or satisfaction from doing it, so your complaint is, "If I'm happy and content then I won't be motivated to put effort into trying to become happy and content".

No shit, son. Once you've reached the goal, you don't have to keep trying to reach it.

Your assertion was that there are no goals to begin with since your happiness didn't depend on external circumstances. If that was really possible then why even work 40 hours a week? It wouldn't matter to you right?

OP I used to work 9-10 hours a day 5 days a week with the odd Saturday once a month thrown in.

I was able to handle this when I first started working for about a year but then what really got to me was how much I am making for others.

I could be working for myself earning more and reaping the profits for me.

So I have now started my own business. I suggest you do aswell because you get an entirely new feeling when you are working for yourself. It all feels worth it.

Oh, are we playing that game now? If I'm happy and content with a simple and frugal life and don't sink into misery if I don't have time to shitpost on 4chan for 10 hours a day then why don't I just go live inside a porta-potty and subsist on excrement? Everything's the same to me so what's the difference lolol!

The goal of virtually everything people do is happiness. Once you've achieved a happiness that doesn't depend on externals, it means that you can stop wasting so much energy chasing after fleeting external happiness. It doesn't mean you roll over and stop living, or that you no longer need to eat or have a place to live. I don't find my work unpleasant, so why wouldn't I work a normal working week?

I never said that there were no goals to begin with. Happiness is the goal and achieving a true inner happiness is reaching the goal.

Its not that I hate a lack of structure or activities, it's just I hate the feeling of being looked down on by the rest of the world for not paying my own way.

I was a NEET for 5 years (didn't leave my front door for those 5 yeas, just browsed r9k, played on my PS3 and browsed the web every single day). I started school after and at 27 I finally got my first job at Starcucks.

I work 4.5 hours a day for 3 days straight and I can barely manage, I don't know how you wagies can do it? My back kills me for standing up those hours straight, I hate talking Stacies, Chads for the most part are actually pretty nice but ethnic Stacies are always shit.

Seriously, between the smart ass male customers who give an attitude when you ask them a question you're obligated to ask them because of your work, to the people who want to physically fight you when you don't give them a free item that expired eons ago, or the fuckers you know are clearly trying to scam the company for something that is so transparent that they get indignant at you for calling them out on their bullshit; I honestly don't get how some of you do this 5 days a week, 8 hours a day?

There are a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions that offer a path to a happiness that is not dependent on and superior to worldly happiness. People from a wide variety of cultures over thousands of years have all said that you're making a mistake if you attempt to find happiness through conventional, worldly methods and you're fucking delusional if you think that they're all wrong.

I don't know why you're claiming it's impossible in the first place since it's pretty obvious you don't even understand what we're discussing.

I would think the very fact that you've been trying and failing to find happiness via alternative methods for 30 years should lend credence to these ideas. Highly intelligent and insightful people from a variety of times and cultures who have seriously considered the best way to live a happy and fulfilling life have generally all agreed that true happiness comes from within.

I agree that happiness should come from within.

Yet most people aren't like that. They need real things to give them happiness. So you're saying that the tiny minority of people who are supposedly happy regardless of whatever happens to them in reality somehow invalidates the vast majority who aren't like that? What makes your bunch of people right and the rest wrong? Let's see you try and keep most people docile using your drivel about inner happiness when things like having less wealth actually matters to them.

There are plenty of non-faith based belief systems that offer these ideas, like Stoicism and same varieties of Buddhism.

>So you're saying that the tiny minority of people who are supposedly happy regardless of whatever happens to them in reality somehow invalidates the vast majority who aren't like that?
No, I'm saying that they tiny minority who are willing to put in the serious work and effort required to attain this kind of happiness are proof that it's possible for the vast majority to attain as well. The fact that they're not willing to work for it is a sign of their own faults, not a fault of those who have proven it's possible.

Most people are too attached to what they think they need to be happy to even consider that they might not need it at all. What "real things" do you think you require in order to be happy? It's not a question of "being like that" or not, it's a question of understanding which kind of happiness is best and directing your efforts toward attaining the best kind rather than the temporary, uncertain kind.

My college offers work study to those who qualify for financial aid. I just asked the guy who does all the hiring and he said I'll start in the Fall, just have to file some paper work and it's official.

It's pretty much a cubicle job where the school works with my class schedule so I don't have to leave campus in between classes and still get paid.

>you can choose to work however you want

Oh yeah, sure, let me just go in to work tomorrow and tell my boss what hours I choose to work. I'm sure that will go over really well.

What Value, what meaning is there beside subjective pleasure in the eyes of entropy and the inevitable decay of anything i could achive for me or humanity in general. The only meaning to existence is to have as much positive emotions as possible. Nothing else.

>>38384485
yes dickhead, if your job doesn't depend on other people you can choose which hours you work. if your boss can't trust you, congratulations, you're an entry level retard and this conversation obviously doesn't apply to you.

This is the exact reason I'm going into Real Estate. You set your own hours and work whenever the fuck you want to. Your check depends entirely on you and the amount of work/effort you put into it.

If you want to take a 2 month vacation, as long as you pay any dues you're golden and could come back in whenever the fuck you want. Obviously you won't get paid for your time off, so like I said, it's entirely on you but you won't ever get fired for showing up once in a blue moon and selling a house.

>if your job doesn't depend on other people

So...a very tiny percentage of all jobs? The vast majority of jobs "depend on other people". I don't know what you do but you're making a fool out of yourself by pretending like you're the rule rather than the exception.

Whats the money good for though? What is there to buy?
I used to be really. wealthy thanks to my dad so I got pretty much all I wanted, but at the end of the day I spent most my free time like I did before the <thing I brought>
Even the mercedez I got was nothing special anymore after 2 months.

You answered your question with this. I used to work on cash and on the floor as a stock clerk. The amount of bs i got from both ends (customers giving me shit, management fucking me around) was crazy.

Losing that job was the best thing that happened to me. I'm in a better retail job - i work overnights by myself. I can do work at my own pace, i can listen to music, etc. I have more or less a set schedule (i don't work weekends, and that may change when there's a holiday), so i can still do my shit when I want

That sounds like a dream job. To be fair, it's only 1 out of 75 customers that are shit, but man that 1 out of 75 is pure shit. My boss and coworkers are all great though, I usually get stuck doing the easiest and chill of jobs while they're busting their asses doing 10 drinks at once for impatient assholes that can clearly see them making tons of different drinks. Customers don't care though, all they can see is their cup is not made and they want it now. Oh well, this shit is going to be in the past for me.

Wageslaves should watch this. Jeff and Some Aliens is a good cartoon to begin with, but this episode is about a machine that can give you anything you want by taking time off your lifespan. Really makes you think about all that stupid shit you're slaving away your life for.

You are like an insect, following your primitive instincts toward ephemeral pleasures.

You cannot write a romance novel without ever knowing romance, you cannot write a song about heartbreak without ever knowing heartbreak. You are not human without sadness, or glory, or vanity, or drive, and so on if the only thing you are is something that's happy and that's it, you are worse than a normie. You are the most shallow sapiant thing that lives. You will never know the true meaning of love because you don't know the appreciation of going without, you will never know the value in a life because you never wept when one was lost. You will never write books, movies, poetry or make great adventures and tell stories of because you live a vane, boring existence of chasing pleasures.

If you want to free yourself from guilt and glory and walk the nihlistic path then suit yourself but you are assigning yourself a personality of profound insignificance.

My point is that this insignificance is not a choice.
There is no meaning, nothing more to life.
You can pretend that there is more but that is
illusional.
What seperates us humans from plants and animals is our capability to reason.
If we throw this away by pretending that there is a meaning to life, that there is a god, a paradise. Then and only then we life the life of insects. Then our lifes are insignificant.
Then we are worse than normies.
I beg you to prove me wrong. I realy do.
I don't want to be right with my assumptions but if they are correct then I as a rational beeing have to accept them and act according to them.

I'm still trying to figure that part out too. It's as if they are just content with existing as a mindless wage slave drone.

So the way I understand it, the route out of this train of thought is procreation. Not procreation for the sake of procreation, but for the sake of evolution. The only way we as insignificant lifeforms can prescribe significance to our lives without resorting to blatant lies is to endeavor to create a life form that isn't insignificant. Chasing after immortality and reanimating the dead could be seen as examples of this, albeit failed ones as far as we know. I'll admit this does take a rather large leap of faith but it is at least plausible instead of impossible. I hope that made some sense.

>>38381070
I break the day up into 2 hour chunks of time. It's an easier way to frame it in my mind. It helps because at 2 hours I take 10, at 4 I take lunch, and at 6 I take another 10 then I'm in the home stretch.

Plus it helps to become zen about time. The workday will be over when it's over and there's no point in looking at the clock or caring; time passes the same anyways.

I'm not saying that being a NEET is the way to go either. It's just maddening to me that the opposite end of that spectrum is people being abused by a decadent society that thinks legal slavery is ok.
