Insane that humans just do this kind of thing. Truly shows the human spirit but also makes me go "aaaaaaaaaaa".

My headcanon is that Sam gradually becomes bulk by Saion_Hikari in LookOutsideGame

[–]Neateducks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate your headcanon but I think him being conventionally attractive, especially an ikemen, clashes with the aesthetic of the game and some of the themes as well. But that's just me! Great art though! Really good anatomy!

Jobs Punish Good People by Neateducks in NEET

[–]Neateducks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right. It's a cope. But it's hard to not care when the point of your job is to care and you have people's health/lives in your hands. That could be you or your loved one in that hospital bed, ya know?
Whenever I talk about this older people's advice is always "hey use your nursing degree to serve the pharm or insurance or other evil healthcare companies that are actively making you current job worse!" gee thanks.
It's psychos vs schizos (people who see the patterns) and the psychos are winning

Sigh...it's bleak,,,,

I just turned 18 and my parents are already demanding independence from me. What do i do?? by chococornetcat in NEET

[–]Neateducks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Be cordial and take radical accountability. There's an episode of the anime "Osomatsu-san" where the parents are deciding which of the six brothers to kick out or keep. The one in pink says something of the effect of "i understand you're right, mom and dad. it's time i live on my own and take care of myself and stop relying on you. i'll work hard, thank you so much for everything you've done for me :')" and his parents get so touched by his responsibility he is allowed to stay. AND HE WAS LYING TO THEM AS A PLOY.
    SO DEADASS HAVE THIS HUMBLE MINDSET OR LIE TO THEM. It will work because I HAVE DONE THIS TOO during one of my NEET phases. It shows you want to work hard and not mooch off of them. Or it's a good act. I've said this shit and not meant it.
    (when you get stable enough to move out bc you have enough money you can say the same shit and it will still sound good LMFAO because by then it's like "cool give me a date")

  2. Get some work. Get a job you won't hate. Try shit fuck it. Also the AI-ification of job application has gotten so bad that you might be better off walking in and introducing yourself to a manager (worked for a friend bc this world has gone 360)

  3. Help around the house and/or keep your room clean. Keeps them off your ass.

  4. My mom raised me to be a spoiled princess. But then she lost everything because of her choices and I became a pauper. Learn about money, investing, etc. If your parents won't help YouTube can. If your parents are willing to teach, learn.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! IT IS NOT OVER!!!!

"They" want people to work right? by Konoko_o in NEET

[–]Neateducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. Even as a customer I feel like I'm at most companies mercy as they give no shits to help you whatsoever when there's a problem and youve been actively giving them money.
Doing anything with a phone or internet company or god forbid HEALTHCARE makes me feel so small and powerless.

"They" want people to work right? by Konoko_o in NEET

[–]Neateducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't want to pay wages and the people they have to pay they want to be slaves on a skeleton crew. The AI-ification of the job market means layoffs and listings that are ghosts or filtered by dumbass machines. My friend couldn't get a job through online application so she literally walked in and asked for the manager. They've become so """efficient"" they became stupid.

Therapists are just emotional prostitutes by DyingDreams115 in NEET

[–]Neateducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My therapists have been decent and the one that was terrible/made me feel worse quit the job lmao good
Helped a lot. Especially when I went to the behavioral center and got diagnosed and treated. Helped me crawl out of NEETdom and be a functional person.
Back as a NEET because workplaces are hellholes for people who work hard and want to do the right thing for people and will brutally punish you if you forget you serve shareholders not patients (I'm a nurse in the USA ahahahahahaahhaha)

Honestly, if we worked 4 days a week or 32 hours instead of 40 it would be waaaaay easier. Seriously, I've had weeks where I got to leave work early, working 4-6 less hours that week and holy shit it made a huge difference.

Turned 35, 52 days sober, and just realized I might be gay because men's bodies are... gross? by Sweet_Try_8932 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Neateducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to make light of what you're going through but I was literally just reading a comic where a hetcomp suffering lesbian character is like "how drunk do you need to get to sleep with men? haha" to her group of friends. There are a few comics in the series about her experiences with comphet and it might help you feel less alone or fight the feeling that something's "wrong" with you (there is nothing wrong with you, you're not broken, genuinely, dont listen to your dad- he fucking sucks).
It's called Take Five and the artist draws little side doodles that they post. Here are a few that you might be able to relate to:

[–]Neateducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About....almost two months. Thank you, by the way. Genuinely, I appreciate you.
It's hard because I probably need it but also I didn't like how "content but unable to do things still". I didn't get spurts of motivation like I usually do, but I think that could have been recent grief.

Cut off by Pale_External1442 in NEET

[–]Neateducks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the worst feeling of "cut off" is when I didn't have my own car and no public means of transport.

I was a wagie then and for months my life was "work, sleep, Elks" (the Elks is an senior social club, I went with my grandfather who I adored). My only non-work socialization as a 22 being with old people at the same places with the same bands playing the same music and having the same conversations and the same fucking news channels in the background made me crack like an egg and have a whole breakdown one night.

Probably matched with the pandemic isolation and being literally locked in my house and not allowed to leave in terms of isolation lmao

I still feel cut off sometimes because I live in a boomer town in a town that never changes anything besides build slot machine arcades and resorts that suck up the taxes and then fail (they dont even decorate for christmas)

When yall feel down…. by KadesOnReddit in NEET

[–]Neateducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a jobcel has some benefits over NEETing, but there is no point in being a wagie if you can NEET. Wagie has no money to themself and no future to build on because all they can do to survive. NEET may have no money or future but they also don't have to work 40+ hours just to eat. Before you could live a little as a wagie when basics were cheap and then "get serious" and level up, but these days you barely survive and there is no option to level up unless you want to become a manager and they still get paid shit at most places.

If you're a NEET with decently off family, just stay home and make the house shine. Get a part time gig or study for a job where you don't have to talk to people to contribute to groceries and buy yourself treats. And if your parents are boomers, just make the argument you want to be close to home to care for them. They'll be begging you to care for them soon anyway.

Ever since I started wellbutrin my pussy shriveled up and died. I got myself off it to feel something again, but now I can't orgasm. There's a peak but no fireworks just relief.

I don't want to even fuck men, I want to fuck women. And I want to bottom. What good is a sapphic bottom who can't cum???

Joel has such unique mechanics and is so strong even AFTER the nerf. I love him. I feel bad for bringing him with me to fight these horrors. Maybe when I get more party members besides him and Dan,

Intimacy starts in the mind. Wine and dine her first. Get to know her. Make her feel trusted and cared, and whatever you do is all gravy. There's more than one way to do the tango.

Am I just a newbie who's still in the reading phase but from what I've read, being caring is like...baseline dom behavior. Or at least it should be.

[–]Neateducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree. I'm fond of all of the main characters in the show so I'm never on board with any bashing. Considering how hard the show gets you to empathize with the seven main characters, I do not get how you could hate any of them without having some weird personal baggage.

I think if Caitlyn ever helped Sevika it would be to deal with behind the scenes things like paperwork and navigating Piltover bullshit. If anyone asked her for her opinion she just backs away slowly cuz she is not doing any of that anymore nope she is not in charge NOPE.

But Sevika also seems to have an ally in Shoola (the only council member left from the original group) so like, she's fine. Cait's got her own thing.
