there’s work, like setting traps for your security, and making the work you do inscrutable to others

have you considered being an ahole landlord, op?

or perhaps a cryptocurrency trader?

or perhaps streaming for tips while playing the games you already play

or maybe a rodtronics patreon?

ok that's about it i think

I actually created a rodtronics patreon and then had a wave of shame flow over me as I came to the realisation that the ocassionaly interesting garbage I produce had no monetary value to anyone else’s life whatsoever and imagine fooling yourself into thinking someone would give me a dollar or more to make that rubbish

make a patreon, name all the tiers after funny sex acts. but here's the kicker: no tier rewards, and the stretch goals are all about getting you to stop posting dumb poo poo art

you could do what everyone else does and buy lottery tickets

or fill out surveys. that one is pretty popular in most trailer parks

or you could stream your video games on twitch and make funny noises every couple minutes. lowtax is making a killing with that

well that’s kind thanks. at the moment in life i’m struggling with the motivation. my jobs stress is killing me and I need to put as many hours as I can motivate myself to, which means getting up earlier and staying later, and to have the energy to do so, I have to eat better and sleep better. And I need to put more spare time into growing skills that can be turned into passive income (like creating a “deal with it” app like Dod Block and getting ad money dribbling in) and maybe skills that can launch me into a new job. It’s depressing that I feel like I’m having to fit my whole life to make work work, the whole, live to work thing, which I hate and am desperate to get out of, but right now I can’t do my job by just turning up and doing the required hours, simply too much to do 😣 and it’s depressing thinking this is the rest of my life, so I *need* to change something. I hate that I never get to pick up my kids or drop them off at school 😔 and so I can’t afford to have much selfish time, I have to make as much of it as productive as possible to either have energy for work or to learn or upskill. Have to be one of these people that plans all my time so I go to the gym enough and eat well enough so I’m not drained by the time I finish work so I can put in more hours. diabetes sucks. sounds like i’m moaning/ranting and I am but it’s also a coming to the realisation that I have to dedicate my life to being productive (for now at least) if I want any chance of enjoying the future at all. Either than, or triple my life insurance, work for another year and then hopefully die because then when my house is sold and with life insurance my ex wife could clear her mortgage and give heaps of time to the kids, because at the moment my kids are the main reason I am alive, and so if I am alive I might as well work out a way to he happy or productive or at least not depressed or something.

🤷‍♂️ who cares

many times over

right now I have an idea I want to put on pen and web, but the problem isn't learning python, but also git and postresql and django and heroku, to make the thing actually work on the web. and yeah I want to do it, but it's large and feels overwhelming, unlike say learning just one of those things, and because I also have limited time doing so, I kinda just don't at all.
