Don't you think sitting alone at home smoking weed and playing games might get a little bit lonely? Humans need human contact. Might as well pick up a night shift at the convenience store so you can talk to people.

At which point the plan becomes something you can put into action tomorrow, if you wanted. It's like the parable of the Mexican fisherman: https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com/the-parable-of-the-mexic...

Stoner WoW addicts working dead-end jobs live better than kings did in previous centuries, and we're too status-obsessed to notice this.

That's something I have at the back of my mind. My company is completely dysfunctional so 90% of my job is literally doing nothing, which is amazing. The problem is the fear of losing this position.

You could spend some of that 90% time building skills for hobbies / a hypothetical future job search.

But why?

If I manage not to get fired for 12 years then I'll reach the endgame.

Is your company hiring?

Why can't you just play games with other people? Do you really need _work_ to not feel lonely?

Gaming communities can be very toxic

[KptMarchewa]

Just like corporate jobs. The issue I have with the advice is I don't see why _working_ is supposed to be solution, rather than trying to find community somewhere else.

Most communities suck. This is why I want to live far away from everyone and sit at home and smoke weed rather than deal with people.
