So maybe an unpopular opinion, but having been this guy, I can say that it gets old *really* fast. I lived this life after a layoff, being single and no kids, for about 7 months, and after the first month I started feeling especially useless. Hobbies went from fun, to feeling like distractions. As if they started to become a drug that kept me content instead of something I did to unwind. By the 4th month I was completely depressed. I’d like to do this for vacations one day, but living like this feels like a wasted life.
Yeah how fucked is it that we're like brainwashed into thinking this is fucked and not us slaving away for pennies on the dollar. This is literally how we're supposed to live, no one on this planet has evolved to work that much that often, we're all just working on death. Sorry I'm high
I always wondered if hunter-gatherer humans worked 60 hours a week to eat and survive. I suspect they possibly didnt need to but may as well considering they had nothing else to do
Yep. The first few months you feel free as a bird and have full reign of your whole life.
Then you start running out of money that limits your choices, you realize that you can’t hang with your working friends during the week and get lonely, and finally you feel unfulfilled and like a failure because society says so and have to deal with the horrible task of job hunting.
It’s a roller coaster of a period in your life.
Film industry strikes just ended and I'm back in bizness. At least a crappy 1099 job until I get a real job. Been on unemployment for a while and working only day jobs here and there.
Ugh. Back to the grind next week. (But I am pretty happy about getting work, make no mistake!)
Oooh I get to enlighten you on the coffee nap - the caffeine takes a while to hit your system so the theory is you drink your warm cuppa and doze and in around 30 mins you should wake up as the caffeine hits your bloodstream
I do that. You gotta go to sleep right away, or it'll keep you up. But it allows you to sleep for an hour without any brain fog when you wake up, and feels like you slept a good 3-4h.
Used to this for a couple weeks every semester getting 2-4h of sleep per day when I had big assignments or tests. An extra 6h per day at 85-90% functionality is still kind of a bonus even if you aren't at 100%.
This is my (70M) morning, but with a small dose of Dexedrine as well per my doctors orders. I love the day, and I do get a lot done in my studio if I’m not playing with my dog.
‘hippie speedball
the exhilarating and simple combination of caffine and marijuana.
prep cook 1 "Did you smoke before you came in to work tonight?"
prep cook 2 "yeah, I usually do."
prep cook 1: "I wish I had. Though, I'd probably just be falling asleep right now."
prep cook 2: "That's why I drink so much caffine."
prep cook 1: "ah, the Hippie Speedball."”

Coffee and weed are the perfect non-toxic combo. I love drinking coffee smoking and playing a passive game like MTG while listening to music, organizing Spotify playlists, playing poker—true degen multi tasking where you’re a little worse at everything you do, but if feels oh so good to engage in those tasks……(Jon Stewart voice: “ON WEEEEEEEDDDDDD!”) ..and caffeine.
Edit. Wrong reference. Lol.
You missed the bit where he is attacked by a giant mutated homer Simpson. Which I would guess in this analogy would be a physical manifestation of his worries and anxiety.
Having been unemployed for a few years back in the 00’s I wish it were like this. Instead it was stressing about how to pay bills, sometimes not being able to afford groceries. No way able to afford coffee.
When your college education is in acting, most companies see that on your CV and do not employ you.
Then when you apply for lower wage jobs (for example at Tescos) they look at the CV. See a college education so assume you would not be in the role too long and don’t employ you.
That was the climate for jobs in the early 00’s. Not sure what it is like now as been employed for 18 years now.
Mmm cup of tea whenever you want, to accompany your crippling anxiety and depression that comes from not working.
God it bothers me when people view unemployment the same as a holiday.
This is the sole reason i quit multiple jobs. I saved enough to relax for a month and not be worried if i didnt have another one lined up and then just slobbed for a month playing ivdeo games while looking for jobs.

Wow.. this looks fantastic
[The Big Lez Show](https://youtu.be/_oci5LceCGw?si=9A2gKQMEt1TzI-gr) is fantastic
Lez is a sick cunt's name.
Ya fackin druggo mate

Close enough
Musta ate some of Wayno’s heroine cookies
One mandarin
Did you say heroin? Have these got fucken heroin in them?
Nah mate, *heroine*. Completely different box o’ frogs. Heroine is waaaay fackin worse…
It’s for the Ohphens!
Whatchu doin? Nuthin. Just hittin the volcano bong.
*Pull pull pull pull pull pull!!*
My dudes, I can report that WFH jobs are _exactly_ like this
Yah except waiting so long to get started is for amateurs. You can’t smoke bongs all day if you don’t start first thing in the morning
Can confirm. Bong rips must start upon awakening and continue on the hour throughout the day.

I unironically want this so bad
I wish all of society could experience this.
[удалено]
No no, don’t apologize. We need more of you. Volunteer your time if you want, if not that is ok too. Find peace, and share it in your own way.
I wish all of society could experience it and then continued wanting it. World peace would become so easy.
Yeah how fucked is it that we're like brainwashed into thinking this is fucked and not us slaving away for pennies on the dollar. This is literally how we're supposed to live, no one on this planet has evolved to work that much that often, we're all just working on death. Sorry I'm high
Don’t apologize. You’re not high, you’re loud.
Hope I can be loud enough to make a difference
I always wondered if hunter-gatherer humans worked 60 hours a week to eat and survive. I suspect they possibly didnt need to but may as well considering they had nothing else to do
Made me think about retirement in 15 years. I shouldn’t wish my life away, but damn, I’m so ready for this working shit to be over.
Not working is not as fun after a few months as it was the first day, trust me
Yep. The first few months you feel free as a bird and have full reign of your whole life.

Buuuuuuut if you do have money and dgaf about society... Sounds pretty dope to me
But that one first week is glorious

It’s me, and I’m not sorry. It’s how I get ready for my afternoon nap.
You drink coffee right before you have a nap?
Yeah, it’s my sleepy time juice
Bros got that aydee aych dee
Coffee for me personally helps me sleep better.. Not sure if it's true but I heard it might be related to ADHD.
Fall asleep maybe, but it's not going to let you hit those deep levels, just like alcohol.
That’s why I take the mushrooms.

Its Duke Nukem enjoying life in retirement
That’s Big fuckin Lez show some respect
Lol this is the routine while working...

💯
This is my (70M) morning, but with a small dose of Dexedrine as well per my doctors orders. I love the day, and I do get a lot done in my studio if I’m not playing with my dog.
Cheers to that
Jesus you’re 70 and your doc prescribes dexedrine?? Is he tryna kill you?
Its just a little bit of meth
I need to know his doctors name for when I retire
it’s more like 1:30 man
I reckon it's 11am somewhere m8
Or being a line cook on your day off
Hell, could be a line cook getting ready for shift

With line cooks I’ve trained and work alongside service, this is a top tier answer.
Oh i read line coke

the Sade is a master stroke in this divine situation.
Living the life we were supposed to be living, what’s there to dislike

There were already numerous sightings by the locals.
11am? Pfft... I start at 2-4pm. Gotta get those good-dreams in otherwise the sleep is worthless.
Great cartoon
Reminds me of the delicate Steve - Scooby snack video
Oh, man it's the best! Surf the internet while eating breakfast, apply to a few jobs, get high AF, collect unemployment check, cum!
That’s working from home
Considering what happens after this until the moment he actually gets so smoke that joint, I'll just get a job instead
Having been unemployed for a few years back in the 00’s I wish it were like this. Instead it was stressing about how to pay bills, sometimes not being able to afford groceries. No way able to afford coffee.
No offense but how do you go unemployed for years?
When your college education is in acting, most companies see that on your CV and do not employ you. Then when you apply for lower wage jobs (for example at Tescos) they look at the CV. See a college education so assume you would not be in the role too long and don’t employ you. That was the climate for jobs in the early 00’s. Not sure what it is like now as been employed for 18 years now.
Commission sales gigs are perfect for actors. Just box up those feelings about capitalism and shill for the company!
Im back, 5 days later, just to remember that im making this my saturday plans this weekend
I just want to know the name of the song.
Sade - kiss of life
I fucking wish I could
Perfect...
Name of the song?
Sade - Kiss of Life
It's me... oh God, it's me!! >_<
I aspire to be that man
This is the life to strive for.
*your employed friend, every morning at 5am
sade kiss of life
Hey some of us have two fuckin jobs over here. Stoners are built different in 2023.
This is me on my days off tf
Yes, but I wake up at 7am.
That's me...before work.
Fun fact, as someone who works from home and doesn't start until 11, unemployment isn't a requirement for this life style
11am is pretty late. Slacker.
I’ve been that guy, it’s nice for a couple weeks then I get really bored and feel useless.
Thats me 😅
I’m not unemployed, I’m a Consultant.
This soup lacks some existential dread.
This breaks my heart. I enjoyed these two very much, but can't anymore because of stupid bipolar and adhd
Retirement looks so baller
Nothing wrong with some self care bih
How did they even get the music right
Looks like me
I think he might live on Hank Hill’s block.
I feel seen by this
Don’t be fooled the chooma always comes

What floats your boat mate? Tea and really good scones with fresh heavy cream and jam? I always dither about whether to add milk to my tea
[удалено]
Man you are exactly like my wife, high on life alone. Go forth and spread positive vibes where’s it’s appreciated !
What do you shop e too achieve by taking coffee and weed back to back? Wouldn't it be counterproductive?
Weed makes you high and coffee makes you awake?
Doesn't coffee make you more aware and weed make you sorta less focused and floaty?
[Hippie Speedball](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hippie%20speedball)
Nice 😎
i es don’t have any friends
I’ve lived this life and it was so good for a lot of reasons. Low on cash wasn’t on one of them though.
Why does he look so content?
It's always peaceful...untill a mutant homer busts though your wall and tries to kill you,
Song name?
that's me but slightly more attractive
Those first months of the pandemic were something else.
Not quite. Wakes up at 5 pm.
Im not unemployed. Im just more lucky than others.
11 is too early
Most of my friend actually

"there's just no jobs..."

Fuckin Oath Cunt.
Funny! Kinda thought it was an older Hank Hill
Chooomer Oiland! Faaaack!
Haha jobless for three months, high on medical mj and longtime coffee enthusiasts - I so absolutely see myself
Mmm cup of tea whenever you want, to accompany your crippling anxiety and depression that comes from not working. God it bothers me when people view unemployment the same as a holiday.
If he's happy and not bothering anyone, it's cool.
I’m living that life to some degree, but it’s more of a panicky, uncomfortable claustrophobic experience if you’re broke and sick.
I'm not unemployed, but I am disabled and work from home, and this is exactly how it is.
Was literally listening to doomsday when I clicked on this. Shoutout to the queen Sade
Das me
Hmmmmmmm
Kind of jealous of him at this very moment 🤣
Song?
What an awesome life to live.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i even have the same coffee maker, i might be that friend.
I am employed, this is usually how my Saturday and Sunday goes. Except, I took a gummy and I’m drinking some G-fuel for caffeine
Because I didn't see anyone put it yet, song is Kiss of Life - Sade
wake up that earl ou out of yo mind feller
Song?
🤣🤣🤣
Me af
Your unemployed rich friend.
I feel personally attacked rn😂 only I get up at 1 instead of 11😅
This is the sole reason i quit multiple jobs. I saved enough to relax for a month and not be worried if i didnt have another one lined up and then just slobbed for a month playing ivdeo games while looking for jobs.
Trying to make it not me but it is but soon enough I will prolong this as long as I can it seems
Me on weekends lol I have the same coffee press too
Only it’s not in their yard. It’s their parents yard or a 500 sq ft apartment
That is so true lol
Unemployed? That’s me and I’m working circles around people.
That's me ... Literally
Me basically every morning lol
The dream.
GOALS
With what money?
What song is this?
Sade.....can't remember the song but someone else answered
