In general? Old ass pacman at a bowling alley when I was like 5 or 6.
Personal game that I actually spent time with? Pokemon Red on the original, very very old Gameboy. Like the grey one, before the gameboy color.

This is fascinating. I have no doubt you had to debate this a lot and are already aware of some of the shortcomings of the system you created, but in general I really like this idea. Antagonistic Resignation is especially great.
Basically game-theory everything because it’s always safe to assume that there will eventually be a bad actor and that bad actor will extort loopholes found.
My girlfriend is a nurse. 7-7 shifts, days and nights, it alternates.
She’s gotten used to it, isn’t sore from the work anymore. Make sure you have good shoes. Do some research, ask your coworkers - having the right shoes makes a big difference when you’re on your feet for 13-14 hours straight. Add some electrolytes to your water bottle. Doesn’t need to be high in sugar unless you also aren’t eating much too. Moving and standing and being active all day takes energy and hydration. Having some simple electrolytes and enough calories will also make a huge difference in how you feel at the end of the day. You’re basically on a 12 hour hike every shift.
Because this article isn’t written for Gen Z readers. It’s written for Boomers, the largest consumer bracket of random bullshit web articles like this, and they’ll read that line and think “yeah, dumb kids, they should just learn to budget, that’s what I had to do” and they’ll feel slightly superior and slightly satisfied and come back and click on the next article tomorrow, driving ad revenue because they’re too dumb to use ad blockers, and that’s literally the whole point of all of this.
To take your question slightly more seriously: Victoria’s Secret is a brand that mostly exists for men to ogle the female models.
So… Calvin Klein, maybe? Not quite the same number of women ogling the male underwear models but, seems as close as we will get.
I feel like you took this very strangely… I’m in no way degrading these jobs. I brought them up because they have more flexible hours than a 9-5, and therefore you can use one of these jobs to supplement a 9-5 if you need to.
I very intentionally put the word “unskilled” in quotes, and then clarified that that means “no college degree necessary”, because I do not believe these are skill-less jobs - that’s just a common term that people might see and I was literally clarifying what it actually means.
I am an educated and experienced person. I also worked like crazy during college to afford food, school, and my rent. In addition to sometimes having an internship, I worked extra hours at a moving company running boxes up and down stairs all summer or in the dead of winter during break for $12/hr. I worked 70-80 hour weeks, 7 days a week, every week I was not actively in school classes.
I absolutely agree that no one should need a second job to survive. The working class in the US (where I am from and assume OP is from) is subjugated to all hell. Plenty of studies have shown that employees are happier and more productive overall with 4 day work weeks instead of 5, 36 hours instead of 40, etc. Our tax dollars should be going to infrastructure and education and social health care for everyone, instead of the weapons contractors and military size that no one fucking needs. We are worked too hard for the benefit of the select few at the top and it’s fucking terrible and I hate it.
But OP asked for a solution to his problem, right now. Systemically we have so, so much to fix. But today, literally today, OP could walk into a coffee shop or grocery store or moving company and ask for a part time job and likely start one by the end of the week. It’s horrible that he should have to do that to afford his car and his rent and his food. But I just wanted to share that this is something he can do, right now, to avoid finding himself homeless. That is what I meant by “band aid” fix. I truly hope that he is able to find something more stable soon. And while it feels almost impossible, I hope our society somehow learns to value the lives of individuals over the demands of lobbying corporations.
I don’t know what your current job is, but assuming you work 40 hour weeks, a temporary bandaid is a second job. Wait staff, coffee shop, moving company, landscaping, local bike shop, grocery store - all these offer $16/hr or more for “unskilled” (no college degree) labor. Pick up weekend and evening shifts. You’ll burn out after a few years of this, but it can tide you over while you work on upskilling yourself.
Ware.
“Where are you from?” “Yes, exactly” “…what?” “No, Ware”.
Three things always (and yes I slap every pocket every time I leave the house to check):
Seems very space-efficient to have a multi use husband.
How very idealistic and nice of you.
How? How do these companies exist and stay running?
Oh great. @fookreddit69@lemm.ee is back. Let’s see how much attention we can draw to ourselves today, shall we?
It’s so obviously the same person. If anyone ever desperately needed to get the fuck off the Internet and go touch grass, it’s this guy.
Yeah man, this is it. I like freedom and disposable income. But I feel like it would be rewarding raising kids. But also it’s sentencing them to whatever fucked up reality the last few generations have pushed us towards.
Read their comments. Look at their AskLemmy posts and how they respond to people. This person is terrible to interact with and it’s completely self-inflicted.
Look into drink mixes for endurance athletes. We use this stuff constantly.
I personally love Skratch. They make a more traditional 70cal/scoop mix and also make an electrolyte-only mix that’s easier on the digestive track if you don’t need the sugar for exercise.
I got a job as a software engineer and I live in one of the major cities in the US pretty comfortably.
(I was high school valedictorian, objectively average in college, and am maybe the high end of average in my career. My high school set a pretty low bar.)
My god, I hadn’t even noticed that autocorrected to “Tab”. Fixed it, thanks for the call out.
People are saying no to Brother in this thread but at the end of the day it just works super well.
