What would be your dream life Robots?

I've been thinking lately about what my dream life would be. I'd probably like to own a motorbike and ride it under a beautiful desert sunset and return back to my apartment to get ready for a night out with some friends. Honestly not much, but I'd love to move out and have pure independence. Unfortunately though, I haven't left my parents house in five years and am deteriorating for it. I still take great care of my body and I do look pretty good and have a nice height, however my social anxiety and awkwardness repels everyone from me and makes me look like some Sad-Keanu Reeves in my university when I sit alone on a bench drinking coffee as I hear people whisper about how much of a fucking weirdo I am.

Anyway, if you could have any life what would it be /r9k/?

Same thing when it comes to motorbike-related stuff, but would be fun to have someone to ride with.

Own a billion dollars. I would have a decently large house. I'd spend my days playing vidya alone and listening to loud dance music. I would do this every day. I probably wouldn't feel very fulfilled, but it would be easy and stress-free least.

Eventually the initial fun would wear off and I'd have to start making video games or music again. Something fulfilling that made me feel good too.

I want to be like Oscar Isaacs in Ex Machina. Including the drinking but excluding the hard work.

My own little Animal Crossing style village.

Comfy little house where I can be left alone to do my own thing. Play vidya, watch my chinese cartoons, work on my projects.

The few friends I have can live nearby, and have their own lives and their own homes, but we all get our privacy.

No one has to work if they don't want to.

Graduate and get a crappy job and work there until I get tired and find a slightly better job. I'm only going to leave the house to go to work, so I'll never get a gf.

I used to think a regular office job was going to be temporary, only until I stumbled upon some great opportunity or learned and applied a valuable skill. Now I don't see either of those options as likely.

No job

No rent

No taxes

No neighbors

Enough food for the rest of my life

Enough electricity to power my computer for the rest of my life

That's it. Just a simple life without worry or concern.

But you know what they say about dreams. They are dreams for a reason. The more you dream the farther from reality it gets until one day the world comes flooding in.

I want almost nothing. But the world isn't made for people who want nothing and want to give nothing. The world wants your time, your effort, and your peace of mind. And if you want out there is no way out. Society and laws lurk everywhere, waiting to put you in your place.

I just want to be left alone. I just want to live out the rest of my short time on earth alone without being constantly hassled by others. I'd even be willing to give up the computer for that. But even homeless people get hassled; by cops, by hunger, by hooligans.

There is no escape.

I was thinking about this the other night and it still pisses me off. It shouldn't cost so damned much to want the bare minimum and it shouldn't be so hard to get.

And even if you jump through all the hoops and sell your soul to a bank just so you can have some shitty apartment, you're then plagued by poorly maintained buildings, thin walls, shitty landlords who refuse to fix shit, limited space.. and just to afford it, you have to work away 90% of your waking life just so you can crawl back into your shitty, miserable apartment feeling too tired to do anything with yourself.

I wish I could say something profound or insightful in response. But I cannot. Everything feels like we are trapped. Like we were born into a world whose designs are not our own. A world that forces us all into compliance.

The only reprieve we are given is retirement. When we are old and used up. Then we are given our time back. But by then we are too frail and broken by routine to enjoy our freedom.

The final irony.

>Anyway, if you could have any life what would it be /r9k/?

I wanted to be a YouTube e-celeb before YouTube was even a thing.

Just make some sort of dumb "program" that was just shitty enough to get enough hits and clicks to have that as my primary income. Not enough to be rich or anything but maybe like $50-100 a week of post-bill dosh to either buy toys or save. Then beyond that I'd have all the time in the world to dedicate to some sort of artistic pursuit purely as passion.

I sat on my ideas too long, and now the market is oversaturated to the point where one can't make it in that arena without fucking connections and shit, just like Hollywood or whatever. Not to mention the whole #WTFU fiasco; of fucking course you give a giant corporation free reign to go "well a private corporation who has a monopoly and has the influence to BE the entire thing so trifling things like laws and regulations don't matter because we're still a private corporation so kiss our asses" and they take massive shits on everyone's heads and everyone just takes it because what choice do they have? Disagree with FaceBook's privacy policies? But you still wanna socially network? Too bad, so sad. Want more than 100 people ever to see you videos but you don't like YouTubes draconian anti-piracy policies to the point that they're easily abused by those who don't like your bad review of their video game? Too bad, so sad.

But I digress.

Dream life?

I would chose to be a degenerate again.

Have some fairly easy job with minimal payment, just enough for all my basic needs.

Small apartment with a balcony.

Maybe I would live in a different city or something.

Also a cat would be cool.

I wouldn't change it that much. I'm pretty much satisfied right now.

>What would be your dream life Robots?

Maintaining my own personal fork of human civilization independent from the rest of humanity. I would live on the moon of some inhabited planet and just look at some ayyliums daily life, watch ayylien anime and waste my time on ayylien /r9k/. I would probably mess with people by drawing circles on crop fields or something like that or live a lot of different alien lives in disguise for fun.

When I think about it it's probably what I am doing right now.

I don't feel like I want an unreasonable amount aside from the whole "never working" thing, but I don't see it ever happening. I'm either going to end up wageslaving for the rest of my days once I finally land a job or dying a homeless man when my parents either die or finally throw me out.

If you don't mind looking like a dork, mopeds and scooters are far easier and cheaper to maintain, still get amazing gas mileage, and you can still get some of the fringe benefits, like being able to squeeze into a right turn without having to wait for the cars in front of you to move.

Plus, if it's got a small enough engine, they don't even need a special license to ride and they're still 100% street legal. Not made for highways, but if you just need to hop around to get groceries and shit, they're pretty nice.
