I am a bot. (Info / Contact)

I wish it was nothing so I could not be forced to cope with my rat-race existence through memes and video games and alcohol

but I do inside sales for a tiny company. It pays the bills, could be worse. I count my blessings and I'm glad I live in a 1st world country in 2018 where I never have to worry about food and shelter and shit

You made a point to bring up the fact that you live in a 1st world country 16 times out of 50 posts, this leads me to believe you live in an aspiring developing country.

It leads me to believe he wants to die lol

We all will eventually, might as well look forward to it right

pew pew pew pew pew!

Woah woah, doesn't that makes you the potus?

It pays the bills

What the h**k!? Am I literally talking to the Prez?

it was a clever comment until you got involved

I work in the marijuana industry in a state where its recreationally legal

Hey what happens to all the old fashioned sellers? Do they have their foot in the door now that it's legal? Or is there still a market for untaxed weed?

There's still a black market. I'm not really sure about the sellers but there are a lot of growers who sell to the black market. The price per pound here has gotten so low that it's almost pointless to continue doing it unless you have an efficient system and a network of buyers. A lot of countries are enforcing strict permit and licensing laws so with the shrinking profit margins I wouldn't risk growing all summer just to have code enforcement come out and call all my shit down in August. I've been blessed with good genetics so I've had good relationships with a few reputable dispensaries for a few years now

Ain't that the dream

If I had started doing this in my early 20's instead of my late 20's I'd probably be retired now but pot value has been progressively shrinking for the last 10 or so years and tanking for the last 2

I'm a student, graduating in May. Working on lining up an internship part time for the spring semester right now, but I also work at best buy part time. I'm majoring in econ (I know what a fag, right)

I'm a virgin ironically

Same.

How long does it take before you regain your purity?

I’m basically a retired stay-at-home dad but without the kids, wife, or any other responsibilities to keep me from my hobby of finding minor issues and coming up with unnecessarily complicated solutions as an excuse to buy more tools and keep busy.

So a NEET.

Yeah except I’m not living off neetbux.

Are you really retired though?

Retired in the sense that I have enough money to live comfortably without working but not old enough to join AARP.

So you are a MGTOW in truest sense of the word.

Oh yes of course, AARP which is a United States-based interest group whose stated mission is "to empower people to choose how they live as they age." According to the organization, it had more than 38 million members as of 2018. AARP was founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus and Leonard Davis.

Just posted my defdefinition for the dummies that didn't know.

How old are You? I was 23 when I was admitted to the aarp, probably gonna make VC next year. So yeah, I'm doing pretty well for myself as well.

So you're a rich kid who got a nice inherintance?

Somewhat, but more of a David Choe situation.

Can I get some money?

You're still a NEET, even if it's family money.

Your wife resents the fact she makes more money than you and fucks black dudes because of it

But I don’t have a wife...

Then why call yourself a dad you retard.

idiot

Don’t talk to yourself like that poor baby 😰

I hope that raccoon gives you rabies

those thighs

POST BUSSY/belly

Your raccoon has a nice butthole.

So a boomer?

tbh want to get into that shit like AvE but it’s too expensive and no space

I’m 34 so technically I’m on the early edge of millennial.

I have a [https://i.imgur.com/mYoeeIL.jpg](3.5 stall garage) that [https://i.imgur.com/5UIagP9.jpg](doubles as a workshop) but also have to fit four cars and a lot of outdoor equipment so there’s always a lot of moving shit around to avoid making the outside look redneck.

I’ve actually thought about starting a video channel of different projects but it’s too much effort. I just finished adapting a sleeve hitch to my garden tractor and through the use of many pulleys, angle iron, and a cheap harbor freight winch made it so I can raise and lower the rear box blade from the dashboard rather than getting off and doing it manually.

lawnmower 34

Do you drink monster energy drink by any chance?

And how did you get settled so young?

Nah that's a pretty sweet fucken set up, wtfs a sleeve hitch?

Look at this motherfucker with the time and brain power to label and organize his shop.

Looks like me and you are in the same grouping; except the hobby thing. I'm much more lazy than you.

Wait are you the dude that's friends with the local raccoons??

Its the same dude if you look at post history

I work as a secret agent for the government. It's my job to investigate boipussy for evidence of infiltration or alien activity -- and I am DAMN good at my job

He's unorthodox, but dammit he gets results

Cluckposting is what makes me alive.

I'm unironically getting a masters degree in the study of (((them))).

Before that I was in the Army for 8 years.

Long haul truck driver and whore house secret shopper.

I'm an electrical/instrumentation tech. Are there any tradesmen or blue collar workers here?

I worked as a housepainter with my dad for the better part of a decade. Also a former window washer. I like doing stuff with my hands.

What do you do now? I did some painting as a laborer when I was younger (No cutting though)

I work as a floor assistant at a high end nail salon during the day and cocktail waitress at a low end bar at night. Today's one of those fun 15 hour days where I work open-close at the salon and drive straight to the bar after. Yey.

Ah ok. Im doing better than at least one drama user.

Bills are paid. /shrug

I was only joking. I'm at work on night shift right now 6 till 6, but jeeze 15 hour days? Thats brutal.

Couple times a week usually. Sometimes 10 hour days. Sometime 5-6 hour days. Just depends on how the schedules shake out.

I keep asking but the bills just refuse to pay themselves, and I dont have anyone in my life who can really help me if I fall on my ass financially.

Higher education would be great but who has the time or money?

Maintenance mechanic/ electrician here. Making big bucks doing jack shit 😎

I used to be a Navy mechanic, though I actually spent most of my time doing water chemistry analysis. Does that count?

Nah you sound like a lab tech. Did you enjoy it?

I'm glad I did it and I'm glad I'm not doing it anymore.

Do you have a recognized mechanical fitter trade or whatever that you earned in the navy?

Butcher here

Professionally or amateur like /u/OniTan?

I design and build machines which bring the food from the fields to your mouth. So half white/half blue collar worker. I'm also a CWB certified welder and kinda ended up teaching the new ones to don't fuck up.

CWB? Food from fields? No ones pulling a crop out of arctic tundra.

We have like two weeks of summer here. More than enough to grow some shit and sell it to the US for more than it's worth.

I'm a blaster.

As in a painter blaster?

As in rock removal via explosives.

Oh we call it drill and blast here. Which country?

The US.

Does the mining industry in America pay alright? Is it hard to get into?

It depends on what you want to do. I've got a geology degree, and there is a lot of competition for those jobs. If you just want to be a laborer then it's pretty easy to get those jobs so long as you can pass the whiz quiz and can show that you're reliable.

As far as pay goes, I'm not too sure about mining, but I do know about Oil and Gas. Rig hands and roustabouts generally make around 22/hr working 87.5 hour weeks on 2-week hitches.

If you can grab an offshore gig (especially in the Persian Gulf) you can make more money than God.

IIRC most mining is going on in India, China and Africa, and it's mainly transition metals used for electronics and batteries. Traditional resources like iron and coal aren't necessarily a dying industry, but their market share is much lower than it used to be.

Ah ok, Yeah I'm a dual citizen but have only worked in Australia but I was thinking about heading over there just for a change, so the money isn't even the point really.

I've never worked in oil and gas but I do have my hazardous area ticket from working in the petro chem industry, so I'm qualified but am lacking experience. I have no idea how these qualifications translate over your way yet.

Traditional resources like iron and coal aren't necessarily a dying industry, but their market share is much lower than it used to be.

Tell me about it, when I entered the iron ore mining industry it was ~170 Aud a tonne and I was making $60 an hour 12.5 hour fortnights doing fuck all, last I checked it was 70ish a tonne and thats only because it's picked up a bit.

I was doing mudlogging in eastern Ohio until I got this job doing drilling and blasting a few months ago. It seems to me that the best place to be in the States if you're going to work in O&G is the Texas/Oklahoma area. That's where most of the recruiting for higher paying positions seems to have come from in my short time working in the industry.

Ah ok yeah I know a geo who was doing mudlogging in town until he got into exploration. Cool thanks for the replies mate, it's 04:49 and im ready to go home.

not blasting bussy smdh

I run kitchens by trade though im out of the game ATM.

I make bank bro. I drive a Range Rover and get ass 😍💦🍆

Your mom

You are a necrophile then?

Well that took a turn

STEM bullshit.

I make good money. My wife and I have no student loans. We own a house and two paid off cars. I'm basically the anti-redditor.

Yet I continue to spend my time on /r/drama laughing at lolcows. What a waste.

More common then you think

But you work in STEM meaning you're very autistic. Somewhere lower than Ed but higher than Rain Man.

This is me 🤣🤣

wife

Nah you a redditer

I bet you hate the idea of having kids

You got me there. I could retire when I'm 50 as long as my wife doesn't pop out any little blessings that eat up all my money.

blessings

By the way you write I’m betting its gunna be a school shooter you non-virgin virgin

I work so I can feed my gun addiction. It's pretty sick actually

doing something for a living

lol trustfundlets BTFO again

It's over for letcels

Backend web developer and backend bussy blaster

Notbeing a fullstack chad? Yikes

Backend bussy > frontend gussy

It's over for embedded systems.

Pizza topping assembler but also moonlight as a female at weekends for a bit of extra pocket money.

I defend diddlers, drunks, and Mexicans.

Lawyers are natural r/Drama posters

Exclusively?

I'm a broker, the dirtiest of middlemen.

dox yourself for this innocent throwaway right here in this thread fellas

Lawyer. But I'm trying to lateral in to a position where I can post on /r/drama full time.

I think litigation is what you are looking for.

Too many rules

Maybe, but isn't every sphere of law highly complicated with tonnes of statutes, rules, regulations etc.

Yes but litigation even moreso

Research associate. Academia except losing my mind about a PhD.

😋 yum 😋 love ur 😋 data! 😋

I work as head of Overseas Marketing for a Beijing-based media firm.

Penis.

I'm an accountant, but my long term boyfriend makes really good money flipping houses and if we get married I'd likely leave to go into business with him. My job is good money and I'm good at it, but it's hardly a "calling."

Professional poker player. Good money but I'm going back to school sooner rather than later to get muh stability and muh real job. My favorite thing about it though is making 4x the hourly of my shithead blue collar brothers that accuse me of being lazy cause no muh real job.

Real jobs are for fags. My boyfriend flips houses and runs his own business and he's so much happier than every single 9-5er I know. Don't bother with an expensive fucking degree unless you have a very clear plan of what to do with it.

Only the people who are proud of what they do are answering, and that’s fucking up the sample.

Unironcly work in a museum

And unironcly am a student

The most based of all professions guarantees I am a hit with the feminine boys

I was using the GI Bill to finish my degree, but the VA decided that a software upgrade meant they couldn't pay anyone for ~6 months (and counting), so now I'm charging my wife for sex.

It is...not lucrative.

Why do people call it The Virginia when it's just Virginia? It must be an inside joke that you only get if you're inbred

I can't tell if this is an attempt at a joke, or if you actually think the state of Virginia is in charge of the GI Bill.

This is drama, does it matter which one it is rly?

Yeah. If you're a actually dumb, I need to be nice to you to make sure you stick around and keep posting. But if you make bad jokes, gtfo.

Implying 90% of the jokes here aren't garbage already

I mean that's where Langley and the Pentagon are so yeah, they're in charge of the military. Why do you think people often refer to Va when talking about veterans?

🙄

I’m on disability

I'm a mental health counselor, I facilitate group therapy for adults with mood disorders such as MDD and GAD and also work in crisis stabilization where I help facilitate a tx plan that reduces suicidal ideation and at times homicidal ideation. I'm slowly shifting my focus to addictions counseling though. I like drama because I can unwind by laughing at cringey pretentious assholes on reddit.

That's pretty cool. What are the worst kinds of clients to deal with?

Depends what they're describing treatment for. Personality disorders are nearly impossible to treat well though.

Reminder all mental health counselors are mentally ill themselves

Just like drama posters!

I work in drilling and blasting, mostly on construction, but occasionally for quarrying.

I work in drilling and blasting, mostly on your mom, but occasionally for you dad.

Better you than me.

In all seriousness that sounds like a fun job, do you get to travel a lot?

I'm home most nights, but there is a bit of travel with it. I actually took it because I was traveling too much at my old job.

I love the job though.

Unemployed recent graduate at of 2 weeks ago :/

Currently going through a decently paid residency to be a certified RN and then go for a PA program later down the line.

I’m making decent strides and I’m pretty happy working in the medical field

I'm the third guy to blow his load on a bundt cake in bukkake videos. You may have seen me on a VCR or DVD cover somewhere.

Pilot

I work 6 months out of the year (usually as a draftsman) and spend the other 6 traveling in my van with a solar panel on the top or backpacking Europe.

I'm a collector for a bank. The drama in that job is glorious, it's basically every dramanauts dream job.

I work as a butcher. Pretty awful work and it's customer service but I get paid a livable wage, have a nice, brand new apartment, a fluffy kitty, and a beautiful wife. Life's alright most days.

The customer side of that must suck but processing whole sides of meat is so cathartic and relaxing its seems itd be worth it.

Nice ((( CIA))) honeypot you've got going here lol.

Lmao all these are larps. Imagine going on r/drama and being a autistic wreck

i work at a fast food resturant lmao

Stay at home dad and doing whatever the fuck I want.

Cult leader, AMA

can I join?

We do we get our own Waco compound?

I manage multiple e-commerce platforms for an eyewear importer and wholesaler, as well as design their marketing material and product packaging.

retail

Bout to commission as a 2nd lieutenant

I worked hard, made decent choices, built up enough to say 'fuck this shit, I'm retiring' at an early age. I am not rich, but I have it where I can live a minimalist lifestyle without having to ever work again.

I'm happy this way.

I also shagged yer nan for your trust fund.

Comp sci. Typical Reddit dork but not as smart

Future an hero

Literal manchild. This thread makes me feel like a filthy minority.
