People with no self respect are the ones doing 9-5. Anyone worked a 9-5 know how shit people are .
Would rather sell drugs than doing 9-5
May I ask what you do for a living?
Was a 9-5. Now I live life on the edge 😉
What does that even mean?
Means he's unemployed. "Living at the edge of his benefits check"
Go to your 9-5 bro. There's a reason you work in a fast oacwd environment
Real question: You yourself call it "the edge," so does it feel sustainable enough that you'd start a family and pass your way of life on to your kids? Is it stable enough that it can handle unplanned expenses? Just my opinion here, but if your lifestyle can't accomodate creating the next generation is it actually better? I'm talking from a position of privilege, with a 9-5 that I enjoy and pays well, which maybe also isn't realistic for the next generation, of course.
Hahaha keep typing away staring at a screen for 6-7 hours. Your family must be really proud!
Humans are like chickens. They learn and normalise watching other human. As long as they can justigy their action for self satisfaction, its all good.
Ezample- Russia , Israel killing thousand and justified it national security so it becomes okay. Trump and friends raping children and he justified it saying he's innocent and people dont have a video of him doing it so it became okay. You and your peers say family comes first but leave that same family for 8 hours alone and god forbid trump or his mates come after your kids when you at work but you justified it by saying in I can provide for my family. And keep their future secure.
I justify my action by making myself believe that I make 7 times more than a 9-5 makes in 1 year. I am talking g director CEO level so I am okay to take risk. As greater the risk , bigger the reward.
TLDR: You do you. Doesn't matter legal , illegal as long as you can justify it , its all good.
