Not shown: the giant timesink attributed to masturbation.

e: actually, it's probably that lump of "personal care" shortly after waking up, and the other one before going to bed.

At first I was kinda shocked it's tv and not internet but maybe they're watching tv and movies on the internet.

They're just lazy, then.

My partner is the breadwinner and enjoys me being the stay at homo, so I get up around 6:30, make coffee and breakfast, then spend the morning cleaning. Afternoon is laundry or pet care, interspersed with internet or PS4. Evening is spent making dinner and an hour or two of TV together.

Weekend are volunteer work and any home repair that needs done.

Him being the provider, I don't feel as if he should have to do any sort of housework.

Of course they do cause they are on welfare spending the rich man's money. They should just sell their fridge to buy tools and then walk up to construction company ceo and tell him "I'm the guy for you, give me a job" and then be gainfully employed until his back goes out and he has to return to the welfare system but this time he might halfway deserve it.

my last bout of unemployment was mostly spent searching Dice and occasionally yelling at my reflection in mirrors if I happened to be holding my "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps!" mug when I walked past them.

It blows my mind this used to be how things worked. My grandfather got a job with the phone company by waltzing up to the office in the late 50s and asking for a job. Like they had no help wanted signs or classifieds or anything. He needed a job, knew how to use hand tools, so he went to the best paying place in the county for laborers and got hired on the spot.

Not only this, but I hear from several of these people that the only reason that I haven't found a job is that I'm not going to enough places and just dropping off resumes willy nilly. And now I hear that <10% of jobs posted online are actually filled by online applicants? gently caress :smithicide:

You live in a police state so if you're not working you're doing something wrong even though our country is already pretty much completely developed, the supply chain is in place to keep 1$ Mcchickens flowing to keep the proles fed. If you work and feel good about it you should die. Well, back to playing chivalry medieval warfare

How many hours can you actually spend looking for a job anyway? It's not like you're going questing about the countryside on horseback asking every innkeeper if they're hiring.

When I was looking for one after being unemployed for four months I averaged about two hours a day. All at home though. In 95% of places if you show up physically and drop off a resume or something they'll still make you email one to HR and possibly fill out an application on line.
