Plot twist: OP is a burglar.
I like my home. It’s quiet and comfortable, I’m surrounded by things and people I like. Unless I have a reason to go out home is where I’d prefer to be.
I peek through a lot of windows each week. You guys would be surprised how many people just sleep in their bed. That’s it. That’s their life.
Ever knock to see if they are even alive?
You aren’t curious as to why they peek through a lot of windows each week?
Beyond that…
It’s your life, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If taking quiet time and just sitting and thinking in your home is good enough for you, fuck the haters, keep doing what you’re doing.
And what if that includes being a degenerate and playing a game nonstop for four days straight? Asking for a friend.
Completely fine. Unless that game is League of Legends in which case you are pretty much beyond help.
Dont worry i dont play league of legends. I mean, my friend doesnt. Its still not good though, i took a four day weekend for the release of wow forever
I took the two days after release and the entire week following. Don’t feel bad.
Im jealous. I would have if i couldve
Can you explain to me the point of Forever? I don’t get it…
Its the classic wow experience but with new stuff. The problem it is solving is that many people, myself included, really enjoy the classic version of the game, but its a game that has been around now for over 20 years and been played to death amd completely ‘solved’. So they add new dungeons, zones, change all the items up etc. New expansions dont work because they change the game significantly. Classic vs current wow are completely different games.
Its also makes a good time for a new player to join because everyone is learning again so theres not SO much of a knowledge gap.
Kind of like OSRS in the beginning.
But isn’t that what Classic was already doing?
I mean, it depends. If it’s just you have the time off and that’s how you intend to use it there’s no judgment there. However, if it comes from a place of depression and using the game as a dopamine escape hatch, that’s not necessarily a good way to handle the depression, but it’s still ultimately your choice what to do with your life. Even then, that’s not judgment worthy as much as worthy of concern for your friend who may not be doing well.
only 4?
Then you are a fucking gross monster nerd geek fuck you, touch grass
(No, i am not serious, it was just a joke about the people that do think like this which in my expirience is many…)
And to bring out that good ol’ quote by Bertrand Russel: “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”
time is never wasted when you are wasted all the time
That's my secret cap
With serve ADHD, I sometimes need a day to just sit with my eyes closed, limiting stimulus as much as possible, to recover from battery drainage. I don’t sleep, but it is a kind of rest.
I mean sure… But if a lot of people truly don’t have the energy to do anything in their free time besides idle that is kinda alarming
Using your mind to just imagine stuff and think is fun too for many
I mean what else do you expect me to do, the only reason I even have pants on is because a stranger is in my apt doing something.
I used to do location scouting for films, I was surprised at how many people let me into their house and poke around just from knocking on their door with a clipboard of location agreements.
Also, unless they’re going to pay you a lot, don’t agree to be a film set, even the best crews scuff floors and dent walls. Shoot days are a frenzy when you’re trying to jam stuff into the least amount of days feasible
And that’s why studios buy properties for sets.
Not every production has that much money to throw around, but yeah, control over the sets is a big deal, especially if it’s a main location for a show or something like that
“These people definitely wouldn’t be doing anything differently if I wasn’t here” uh huh
I never know what to do with myself when I schedule something at my home, and my social anxiety makes me worried that I’m always going to be judged like this. I don’t have any work because I took the day off for this service. Do I just fuck off and continue gaming while the person is working?
I usually do that just without my headphones on. Its very stressful for me too
I usually sit right there with them, watching and talking. I’ve found most people who work in trades love to explain what they’re doing, and it’s like a free class. Actually, more like a class you pay a lot for. Anyway, occasionally I’ve had someone who obviously isn’t interested in talking, but the overwhelming majority are totally down.
I used to think this way until I considered how they felt. It’s really stressful to have someone breathing down your neck while you work, so I usually just show them where the work area is and answer any questions they have then tell them where I’ll be if they need something.
On the flip side, the only time I’ve judged someone in this situation is a girl who had been sleeping before we came by for maintenance, didn’t answer the door so we let ourselves in (notice given in advance) and she was in the bedroom still half asleep and just awake enough to tell us which rooms were getting worked on for turn. She was literally crawling back into bed and covering herself in a blanket while speaking to us. Wasn’t harsh judgment or anything, more of a “that was a weird interaction.”
Basically, yeah. Your taking the day off for them to be there is the reason you don’t have work, which you otherwise would. People who perform that kind of work aren’t likely to judge you, since people being in their homes when workers show up is about as common as tap water. If someone does decide to judge you for that, then it speaks more about their lack of reason than however lazy you might think you appear to be to them.
I typically just sit on my phone while they work, and possibly chat with them if they feel like chatting
Idk, gaming on my computer feels like “too much”, if that makes sense, but that may just be because of negative associations from when people watched me sit on the PC in the past. Being on your phone feels more socially acceptable and you don’t get so “lock in” if that makes sense
That said, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to be om your computer yeah
I umm… leave my house as infrequently as possible.
But if my dad’s partner wants care long term she can let me move in and split her house in half and…
Leave the basement as infrequently as possible. (But with more chickens)
Jk (?), if I start to take over her property, I’m keeping it. She’s got multiple humans worth of generational income, and the more I have the more I can give to people for free!
People always be breathing
