Brutal
Just to clarify. Working without income counts as NEETdom. So jannies cannot be "employed" just for being jannies alone
Not neet
Click not neet on the poll for accuracy
I think its a consequence of heavy censorship by mainstream websites. Also consider that nowadays literal kids occupy the internet. I'm not talking your average zoomer here. I'm talking literal 13 year olds. You can tell by their comments. I remember a time when even youtube comment sections used to be a great placeNot a neet. I guess that means I'm a failed normie?
If the internet in 2022 was like it was before 2015, I'd be able to recover and move on. Because it used to be easier to find people to talk to & share a laugh with. Nowadays being online makes me feel worse. After the past two years, it genuinely feels like the internet is nothing but an empty shell of what it used to be.
I have a feeling all the healthy people from my generation simply stopped bothering to go online anymore. There's zero appeal unless you're into Tiktok & Instagram.
same. Are you part time wageslaving somewhere? I want to be neet again so bad but at the same time I dont want to deal with the jobcenter again that would make me suicidal. There is just no escape.
Yeah part time
How do sanctions work at JC? Do they punish you for being on it for a long time?
I don't think so I just never answered phone calls, never signed in, never been in the job centre before so once the covid benefits ended they knocked me down to 12 every 2 months. Every 2 months it got lower until it hit 0. I'm sure it takes a while for sanctions to run out but if you're smart with it and actually go in/answer phone calls you can probs stay on it for ages
To a certain degree that has always been the case. I was like 10 when I actively started using internet.
I was 19. But the difference is maturity from then and now is noticeable. Even the shitposting was better. And people were not literal snowflakes about everything.
Are you in your 30s?
Close enough to that
So late 20s? Same as me, surprising that you only started using internet at 19.
Different countries, different cultures and different parenting I guess. When I was in primary school, having a pc at home was not a luxury every middle class family in my city could afford. When I was in 8th grade my mom limited my pc gaming time to one hour PER WEEK. Used internet on PC for the first time in late high school. Mostly browsed internet on a Nokia phone. Did not have a proper high speed internet connection at home till I was in sophomore year of college.
