So, I've graduated high school this year, and now I find myself living with my parents at age 20, with no job, no higher education, no driver's license and no car, and I live out too far from town to feasibly walk there. (I tried once; it took me most of the day and I had to rest multiple times.)

As if that didn't close enough doors, I have no experience with anything(not even volunteering, I mean NO experience) and no references, either. It seems like I'm doomed to stay a NEET until I get kicked out of my home altogether. I have applied for several jobs online, and I've even gotten a few interviews, but I am still nowhere close to getting a job.

My pretty much nonexistent work ethic probably doesn't help either. I'm honestly kind of lazy, even though I often flip-flop between wanting to stop being lazy and being perfectly content just sitting at home playing video games all day.

halp pls

Thank you very much for the information so far- it's proving to be extremely helpful! I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me about some resources I could peruse for more research.

So I've been meaning to get a laptop lately, and I've been wondering how much a decent gaming laptop costs; my current PC is mediocre at best for running games and I'm tired of having to crank the graphics down on everything I play. Especially when it doesn't work.

But I'm also on a budget, since I'm basically living on social security money for the time being. Are there any gaming laptops out there worth buying that aren't horribly expensive?

Either I'm doing it wrong, or all the people saying to stand up for yourself are full of shit. I am very quick to call out people when they're being an asshole and nothing happens. No matter what I do, people just spit in my face and keep doing what they're doing, and I'm getting sick and tired of it. It's getting to the point where it feels like I'm getting fed a constant stream of bullshit 24/7, and there's nothing I can do.

Am I really doing it wrong? Are people just that awful?

Haven: Mist and Shadow is an urban fantasy horror MUD. It takes place in the small New England town of Haven, which is a weak point between our world and the various other worlds, such as the Wilds, a place similar to our own, but with archaic creatures like dinosaurs and mammoths, as well as several tribes in varying stages of technological development; The Other, the world closest to ours, with magic monsters and the Golden City, home of the Fae race; The Void, a plane of nothingness filled with Lovecraftian horrors; and, of course, Hell.

In this game, the Earth is filled with different factions competing for dominance worldwide, each with their own goals and philosophies. This constant conflict is commonly referred to as the Supernatural Cold War, the Conflict, or the Struggle. It involves little direct conflict in favor of behind-the-scenes, cloak-and-dagger tactics, though violence certainly does occur.

As is common for roleplaying MUDs, players can create characters with detailed backstories, goals, and secrets. However, your character's fears can play an integral part of the game as well- it is a horror game, after all.

If you do choose to play the game, be warned: one of the core themes is that power corrupts. If you make a character who is powerful, they will be corrupt and evil in some way. If your character becomes powerful, they will be corrupted as a direct result- the power may even be a result of the corruption. Perhaps your character is more of a well-intentioned extremist who sees themselves as righteous and justified, but whatever the case, the more power you acquire, the more corrupt you will be.

There's a lot more to the game than that- more than I can really explain. If you want to learn more, check out the website here. It's a very interesting game and world, and I highly recommend it!

CHOO CHOO!
