One of my saving graces with being born into a time where retirement seems to become a myth for my generation and younger, is that I really like working. I look to my mom who has failed at retiring 6 or 7 times at this point and I just know that that will be me if I live that long. I dunno if I could ever sit back and be like “I have done my part, now I get to chill until I die”.

I would honest to God become suicidally depressed, and holy hell am I glad my brain is wired like that because feeling the opposite way in this current state of the western world must be a nightmare. If you hate your job and hate working and just want to be able to retire someday but you most likely never will due to the state of the world, I feel so fucking sorry for you. That sucks.

Sounds like too much work, honestly. People on youtube can’t be fucked to click on links to other websites. It would also be a terrible business model for someone who aims to make content creation their job.

If it is just for shits and giggles, then I don’t think youtube or your suggestion is that big of a deal. Then it’s just a hobby that people can do when they feel like it.

What I was talking about were those people who decide to make a career out of it. That is hell. There are a select few who get lucky where it doesn’t destroy their lives, but for most, it is just an unforgiving and soul destroying endeavor. I cannot imagine letting myself become essentially an ad-prostitute where I earn my money by blabbering on about sponsors every video and probably not know for sure if the company I advertise is good or turns out to be some corrupt scam or a cult some years down the line - making me look like the tool I am. I cannot imagine having to produce x amount of content with advertisement in it to uphold my end of whatever contract I have with a sponsor - essentially being their puppet until the contract runs out. And maybe I was an idiot who didn’t understand lawyer-speak and now I have committed myself to be their mouthpiece for seven to ten months for free because I signed that shit. Everyday turning on the camera and dance like a monkey for my followers while my sponsor gets free advertisement.

And then gradually being recognized and getting weird people following me, finding facts about me I don’t know where they got them from. Shit like that. And the pay is still nowhere close to being worth all that stress because you’re also constantly paranoid about demonetization and being basically having no privacy anymore. Even if you try and cover all your bases, people will find out who you are and where you live and with whom. The more you try to hide, the more persistent they will be.

Like I said = hell.

They are all Troy Baker anyway xD

Working for youtube as a content creator sounds like my personal hell. You’re basically a slave to your channel once you decide to make it your full time job.

I know the year most Disney movies came out. Not all of them, but probably more than I should know. Generally, I know the year of release for most movies I have seen.

When it comes to remembering useful things, I might as well have dementia.

Very true! It does feel like playing tetris with that little box sometimes, haha.

What a wonderful community this is.

Oh well, I tried. I hope you have a nice day tomorrow.

I did talk about how we do things in my household but you completely ignored that part and went hysterical about the freezer part. I then tried to explain to you why I brought up the freezers and now you’re having a conniption. Maybe you’re just having a bad day or something or maybe we are talking past one another, but I was not trying to troll you. I guess that it doesn’t matter what I say though, but I hope our paths will cross another time where we don’t talk past each other like this.

In my household we tend to buy just enough that we know we can eat it over the course of two to three days if it is perishable foods.

If the store sells smaller packs of meat and vegetables and other perishable foods, we buy those and use them in our cooking the next few days.

We don’t have a lot of freezer space and we don’t have a garden, so we try and avoid bulk buying unless we know we will be able to eat it all before it goes bad. It works pretty well.

You really do not have to be this aggressive, my dude. I don’t have meal planning issues, I just wanted to bring up one aspect of meal planning that doesn’t always work for everybody.

People work with what they have, I just wanted to mention the thing about freezers because people tend to always assume that everybody has a lot of freezer space, which isn’t the case. That is all. No need to get all bent out of shape over it.

Can’t afford it atm. Not everybody is rolling in money xD

I’m not playing victim. I’m just pointing out that some people have tiny freezers.

Sure, but I just wanted to point out that some of us do not have freezers that can store a lot of food. Whenever I see people being like “just freeze the leftovers” I look at my freezer like “how?”. If I put a bag of beans, a bag of ice and some springrolls in there, it is filled to the brim.

People shouldn’t assume that everybody have tons of space to store perishable foods. That’s all.

In my household we usually go for small packs of food when we shop groceries. Meats and vegetables etc. We go for small sizes because we don’t want to end up throwing out food. It’s not cheaper, but it is less wasteful in the long run.

Awesome. Where should I put it? I live in a small apartment. My kitchen is the size of a shoebox.

Problem is that some of us have freezers the size of matchboxes, so it is very limited what leftovers we can put in the freezer. It’s something I have attempted to tell my parents who have big freezers and lots of good ideas to how you can buy this and that in bulk and just freeze it for later and save so much money!! Cool. But my freezer is still the size of a matchbox.

Ich habe schlecthe Nachtrichten für dich, mein Freund.

That’s not how you spell Australians and last I checked they didn’t start any world wars.

Is that the baddie? I only saw the first Ironman movie and that was a million years ago.

Ten years ago, I barely knew who he was. Would’ve liked to have kept it that way.
