I get a loaf of store brand bread from my grocery chain for about $2.50
Look into rice, you can get a big bag from mexican/latino stores for cheap my gram used to do that.

uygha literally just buy actual noodles in bulk packs, the right types cook in less than two minutes (less stove cost), and it encourages you to put actual nutrition in there instead of salt, salt n salty.
daily reminder that the dominant flavor in indome mee goreng is MSG. Taste raw MSG crystals and you will know I'm not joking.

terrible chart. absolutely disgusting. the fact that you reuploaded it on this site is worrying.

Therea an app called Too Good To Go, it let's you buy like a mystery bag of food from stores that's close to its expiration date. It depends on the store but at my grocery store we give some nice shit for cheap, its supposed to be $30~ worth of product for $5 last time i checked.

Here's one. I call it the Amazon Forever Warranty.
Say something you own breaks or wears down. Just buy the same item on Amazon and return your old one for a full refund. I have abused this policy for years. I think below a certain price threshold, they just don't care because I've sent returned incorrect items with no question. I must have stolen several thousand dollars worth of merchandise by now.

Condoms do sound like a goid thing to steal. I'll never use them but they're good to have. I say razors and razor blades the stores made them so hard to purchase that I wouldn't feel particularly bad just swiping them.

Humblebrag

Also commit time theft as much as possible.

I used to work in a food packaging factory and alot of food got wasted if it was even slightly defective so id smuggle a few packs out every so often.

Where the fuck do you work? A brothel?

Best I can get is staples, pens, paper and premium tea for the important meetings.

I've been thinking of buying stocks, futures, and maybe even gold with the few laborbux that I can spare. I want to build up some kind kind of wealth that I can fall back on if I'm ever unemployed for some time or if I have an emergency. Is it immoral by leftist standards to invest in the stock market or is it okay?

>Is it immoral to invest in the stock market?
no, but it is basically gambling if you don't have access to the same analytics and insider trading knowledge that the bourgeoisie have.
>it immoral by leftist standards to invest in the stock market or is it okay?
In the United States, if you deposit your money in a bank account, the bank basically gambles with it, whether you put it in a savings account or not. This is because banks not only operate on the principle of fractional reserve banking, but because of US deregulation that dissolved the legal distinction between commercial and investment banking. Basically porky already invests your money against your will whether you do or not. May as well do it for yourself since it's going to be used for that purpose anyway, and for their benefit instead of yours.

uygha just invest in a 7 year mutual fund which invests in banks, pharma, casinos and oil shares, and if you pick a higher risk one, don't look at the stock market as it fluctuates. money minus stress.

Don't DIY this shit like a retard, unless you have insider information that you can disguise. You're going up against full-time professionals, statisticians and literal automations trained specifically for this.

There's no thread for service/fast food workers specifically and I just wanna bitch

I work at this combination fast food place, kfc & taco bell, somehow it always feels like everyone who comes here hasn't ordered fast food in like 20 years because they somehow ask for shit from other restaurants or shit we haven't had since the 90s

it's very easy to move up in the ranks if you take a risk once in a while and make friends. you wont get anywhere staying at fast food and complaining. you need to actually do the boomer thing and walk into places and apply, or ask your co-workers about openings. one of the easiest fields to advance in with no training or background if you're not afraid of actual labor imo. within 2 years i went from working at a rinky starbucks knockoff making 11.50 with shite hours to sous chef at a local brewery on salary. i make roughly 40k a year which isn't anything to write home about but it's a big improvement considering the timeframe. of course i work my ass off but that's just how it is. depending on how things go id like to get a degree and do something in academia, but if that fails i see myself becoming a fat little porker owning a nice little bar and grill unless the revolution comes first. it'll be commie themed and ill have such sort of art on the walls and ill play black flag and bebop jazz. might have a little dancefloor for djs too.

>>1457
That's great and everything but not everybody is going to have the level of dedication you have. You seem to have greater dreams than the op may have. Every bodies built differently I guess and there will always be winners and losers. Some people won't make it but maybe op will if that's what they eant.

What are the most EVIL (non-violent so; petty, cowardly..not like at least being a (((soldier))) on the frontline) 100% Legal jobs, under American Capitalism?
I think of:
>Repo Agency CEO
>Medical Debt Collector
>Pharmaceutical Lobbyist\ healthcare company negotiator (meaning; uses legal and other tactics to make CLIENTS pay more, have less benefits)
>specialised pro-landlord Lawyer\ pro-gentrification legislator
what else!!

I dunno where else to vent, my workplace is going to shit and I feel like I'm going to be jobless soon, I started interviewing but I feel so nervous that I fucked up a leetcode easy, it wasn't even DP related, I just froze in the spot. I have no idea what will next year even look like

Just had an interview at a lab, they straight-up told me they don't have a job for me and that I just try again in 4 months for the coming 6 months period. They still showed me around for an entire hour and gave me all their personal contact information. Weirdest interview experience so far.

I GOT A JOB, LET'S GOOOO

I'm tired of failing to get a good job. Even if I get a good job, what will be it, realistically? Probably $3k monthly at best where I am, in IT. In a very lucky scenario maybe $5k or $7k but that's entering "purely theoretical" territory.
Anyway, I'm tired.

Too debilitated by PTSD to finish my law degree at a good university. Interned in prestige media and got no contacts from it because it was essentially a 12 week paper pusher treadmill. Feel hopeless. I love writing and literature so I want to wage enough to support that. But I have generally no support network so I’m just rawdogging nepo faggotry and I am exhausted and despondent. Any suggestions on what to do.

the ptsd should be your priority mate, then finish the degree if possible. open a gofundme if you have to mooch for meds, i guess

I need money but I only have an associates degree, 0 experience (except for like a week at target back in hs), and I have a back injury that makes it to where I can't stand for long periods of time. What kind of job would be a good fit? I've been looking around but most seem to require standing or tons of experience, I'm considering lying on my resume to try and get a data entry job but surely there's a better option out there. Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance

Why the fuck does anyone bother with this shit?

Are you a retard who also books their flights through the flight platforms or something? You don't apply through fucking linkedin, lmao. You go to the company's website and look for the job listing there and apply there.

>>1383
ive done it that way but I get more responses when I use indeed or ziprecruiter

>>1383
That sounds really fucking stupid. Does applying directly from website actually go to a human? Like, how do they file their emails from employment inquiries, partnerships, etc???

Why even have these third parties if they don't make life easier?

You're part of the problem. No snap for you. Fucking starve and die bitch. I'd throw you out of your house too and squat there. Your mom's house I should say.

>>1413
>>1408

Shut the fuck retard. Linkedin applications get spammed and botted by people who barely read the job descriptions and thus have a vastly inferior share of genuine applicants, so an application through linkedin is vastly inferior and more heavily drowned out by spam. Who do zoomers like you have a boomer-tier understanding of how the internet works? Linkedin is in the data business, not in the job business, duh.

>>1383
tbh that's recent now that everything is total shit, every job i've landed except my first two was through linkedin's inbox

What is the coziest job? I love the idea of being a fisherman. Can you imagine being a Scandinavian fisherman? Must be awesome.

I fantasize a lot about being a hard-bodied young man sailing across the world, exploring all of Europe, all the while serving my nation by being the best Fisherman in all the land. Hopefully I will reincarnate into something like that. Unfortunately I'm a lazy-eyed, glasses-wearing, wimpy little freak.

There are no cozy jobs. Either they're physically straining or mentally draining. Or often both. At least in my opinion. Although I will say the job I have right can often be quite swell. I'm a night cleaner at a school so as long as I don't have anything extra to do I can get my work done with some time to spare and with minimal contact with others. I'm usually listening to music while I work.

prostitution

I always thought being a small town community college professor would be sweet. Not really a profession available to many, but if you’re not ambitious and like your subject it would probably be pretty awesome
