The other night the ice cream van came to my area for the first time in ages and it really reminded me of being a kid again. Unfortunately nobody went to it and I felt really bad for the guy burning off fuel for nobody to come. It just shows how times have changed tbh

I should go but I'm a cheapskate and I have Aldi ice cream in the freezer so I begrudge paying over the odds but I really should have gone in hindsight.

also there's lots of kids in my neighborhood so that ain't the issue it's just nobody wants to go out anymore.

Need some inspiration AGAIN!

I'm in my 20s and have worked since 18. Even my first jobs that I ever had that I actually genuinely liked i just still hated Sunday nights knowing the weekend was coming to an end and the working week was approaching AGAIN!

Now I have a job I really don't like, working with colleagues I really don't like and I'm stuck as there's no other jobs rn. It's such a toxic workplace, for instance on Friday the boss comes in and my colleague just keeps face and says yes boss when she's asking her to do xyz. Then as soon as the boss walks out she calls her a wretched old haggard c*nt word for word and then turns to me and says isn't she and then it puts me in an awkward position all the time.

Moreover the nights are starting to draw in and now when I leave work I will have no natural light and I'll be leaving for work in the dark and coming home in the dark. I hate it! my commute is 1 hour drive each way so that's 2 hours of free time gone.

A bad habit I have formed is where I essentially stay up till 2am like I most probably will tonight, I prolong it as long as possible and I usually watch chucklevison to remind me of my childhood and It still has me in stitches to this day and makes me feel better.

My parents (both in their 70s) just tell me to just get on with it and say they've worked since they were 14 and life is s*it deal with it..

I also have health issues (stomach related) which makes it harder.

this weekend me and my gf went to an event and stayed at a hotel in a beautiful seaside town and I was beaming with happiness. therefore I know it's not depress1on. i LOVE my free time with the people I love.

Essentially the term NEET means not in work or education I didn't even realise what it means until recently as a 23m. Anyhow my friend 24m can't get a job for love nor money and went to college but dropped out and has been looking for jobs for 3+years to no avail.

We live in Cambridgeshire in a very rural location and in fairness to him it's hard to get a job here as there's no industry and everywhere is closing up however he can get the train to cities and bigger towns if needed as he doesn't have a car license.

Regardless he sits in his room everyday doomscrolling and playing videogames as well as ordering in takeaways and says he feels like he's watching his life waste away in real-time but feels like there's nothing he can do about it as he's applied to 100s of jobs and still nothing and also he can't get a gf and has never had one so that playing on his mind too. furthermore my gf says she feels on edge and creeped out by him but won't say why just says she has an inkling and she can tell he's awkward around the opposite gender and that she's observed him staring at them in a certain way.

I take him out on weekends we get a meal, go for a hike and watch something at the cinema and he looks forward to that but not sure what else I can do as I only get Sundays off myself and am worked to the bone.

nonetheless there's many people from our old high school class in the same boat even the ones with degrees, it's not just him!

There's actually more people in this situation than you realise due to the sh11ty economy

This is hypothetical as I'm 23m but with this economy you could get to this point quite easily if you lose your job things can go downhill fast.

Do you structure your days...

I am already doing freelance AI training and as I can speak fluent in English, German and French it's a nice earner - I can also code at a very high level.

Any other ways to make money please comment down below as I'm trying to make as much money as possible as fast as possible and need multiple revenue streams. the more the better.

I know I'm in a better position than most but this is so strange, I'm 23m and have had 4 jobs all on my CV. My current ft job sucks as my ex purposely got a job here cos she thinks I'm still interested in her and she likes to know my whereabouts - so now I have to deal with that everyday and the job was bad enough without her here.

I've applied to jobs that are low end yet still silence. I'm thinking of ringing and going in places as applying isn't having any effect whatsoever

He's applied to McDonald's, warehouses, away resorts, all the bottom of the barell jobs but he still hears nothing back . He has started going to places mainly small private companies and farms to personally ask but they all ask him about experience and he hasn't got any or they say we're not taking on atm.

His gf has already left him cos he didn't get a job now his parents are getting sick and tired of him. I feel so bad for him but not much I can do as I've already asked at work and they said their not interested. He also doesn't have a driving license but can get a train and go anywhere as he has some savings not loads though.

Worst case scenario he can crash with me and my gf but my gf really doesn't want him here so that will cause tension for me. I have also said there's certain hostels that let you volunteer and you get free accommodation but they are horrendous places to be so he wants to avoid that at all costs.
