How consuming content looked before internet, streaming services and social media. I was a kid in 90s and teenager in late 90s and early 00s. I didn't have internet access until I was 19. So, where did I get content? The primary sources of content in modern understanding was magazines and TV. I was growing up poor couldn't afford much magazines of my own, so I would spend hours in reading rooms reading various magazines, I would also watch TV for hours and read books, usually ones borrowed from libraries. 4 0 replies

Thoughts on Buddhism? I think a lot of NEETs might be able to relate to a lot of the Buddha's words. I think Buddhism has NEET/outcast vibes in a lot of ways. As with any philosophy, you are going to find some inaccuracies and contradictions. Especially with philosophies that are thousands of years old and were mainly spread by word of mouth, like Buddhism, so there is bound to be some bullshit and falsehoods in there, even if the Buddha was a perfectly enlightened person. A social problem a lot of people... 1 0 replies
Stolen from Boomers, founders, the top 1% have stolen from us, the people. War, inflation, rising cost of food. The cards are stacked against millennials, Gen Z. Gen Alpa’s fucked. Skibidi toilet can’t shift kids into a higher bracket. Ghost jobs and layoffs, wage slaves for corporations. The rich are laughing in their villas and mansions, and ugly NEETs are gooning in their rooms, penniless and pathetic. The divide is astronomically wide, so much so the sky looks different for Bezos and Musk. We’re controlled by the powerful, our measly bank... 1 0 replies

Anyone else got bullied at work? How did you handle it? Would you do anything differently now? I remember I was a contractor at one job and everyone was going to lunch. There was an older guy who was like somehow the presumptive ring leader. The coworkers had asked me to join them so I was like ok but the older guy didn't like me and asked them, who's this? And I introduced myself to him, but the way I did it was I was a bit offended that he didn't ask me and his group was all women so I think he was mad that... 4 0 replies
Any Ex-NEETs here still haunted by their past NEET lives? Was a NEET for quite a while due to extreme anxiety and suicidal thoughts until 2 years ago.
