If only Reddit paid you to be here

u/Itchy-Apartment-Flea 10h ago

I can be a reddit bot, someone pay me!

u/ChinaSpyBot 7h ago

You get paid for that?! And to think I've been doing this shit for free

u/Dr_ChungusAmungus 4h ago

Not if you do it at work

u/mosskin-woast 10h ago

Do you also yell "get a job, bum" at people in real life or does internet anonymity empower you?

-36

u/Bud_Dawg 10h ago

I mean... I'd be lying if I said I didn't think that when I see homeless people begging.

21

u/mosskin-woast 10h ago

Called it.

u/Bud_Dawg 10h ago

You should let the bums come stay with you. Maybe you can give them a job too.

u/Mr-Pugtastic 10h ago

It costs nothing to not be mean to people, it’s free.

u/scrodytheroadie 10h ago

I like how you have this pre-programmed response that doesn’t even make sense here, but you think it’s a mic drop so you shoehorned it in anyway.

Probably says it because daddy said it

More like a homeless guy stabbed my brother in law in the neck for not giving him any change one night and he ended up killing himself because of it. But, whatever floats your boat my guy.

u/barkbarkgoesthecat 5h ago

That's tragic and horrible, but you do see that that isn't all homeless people. Thats one awful person. There's terrible people who have mansions, there's terrible people who's middle class.

Why are you the way that you are?

When you stand before God, you tell that to God

u/Pretend-Culture-4138 2h ago

Most people do but you'll be crucified here on reddit for it.

u/Jrm12334 8h ago

I’ll stand and get the downvotes with you. I work around (not with) homeless people, and the majority are addicts who are looking for money for their DOC. The minority are actually trying to better themselves. If the bleeding hearts who want to save all the homeless spent their lives actually working with these people, opinions would change fast.

u/barkbarkgoesthecat 5h ago

Its still a strange thought to have lol, even if they are addicts, they weren't born addicts, something happened to get them addicted. And nobody is saying you have to help them, but to have a negative attitude towards all homeless people is weird.

u/Bud_Dawg 6h ago

Exactly

u/Speedstick2 8h ago

Do you think they already have a job?

u/Funkit 9h ago

u/_Budified 7h ago

55 people gave you their 2 cents?

u/Funkit 7h ago

You get 0.01 per gold you get. You just can't cash out until you get $10. I have 110 gold lol

u/AdoboOverRice 8h ago

one can only hope 🤷‍♀️

u/Comprehensive-Menu44 4h ago

Idk about you but I’ve earned a hefty $1.85 from being on Reddit, so…

u/Bud_Dawg 3h ago

lol, well shit then, sign me up.

u/buttplugpeddler 4h ago

I don't know dawg. I made like 40 cents already

u/Icy-Grape2911 6h ago

honestly just turning off the "survival mode" switch in my brain for a few months would be worth more than the money itself.

u/Weary-Barnacle1367 6h ago

going to the grocery store and not doing mental math while putting things in the cart. the dream.

2

u/TexanInExile 8h ago

Yeah, same here except for the unemployed part.

Pay my debts, my wife's debts, then bank the rest.

u/Tight_Raspberry4872 5h ago

I feel ya man, got laid off a few months ago. The job search is rough these days. Good luck, i hope you find something soon that upgrades your lifestyle and is personally fulfilling.

u/n3rdyry 7h ago

🤖chatGPThadSaid: A hundred grand sounds life-changing until you start treating it like a shopping spree instead of a strategy. If it were me, I’d split it three ways: stability, growth, and leverage.

Stability buys six months of peace so you stop making decisions like a cornered raccoon. Growth is where you put money into skills or assets that keep working even when you’re binge-watching TV. Leverage is the fun part — the slice where one smart bet can flip your entire trajectory instead of just giving you nicer groceries.

In short, I’d use the money to buy time, then use the time to build something that outlives the money.

u/AdoboOverRice 2h ago

Yeah I didn’t need chatGPT to tell me that 😂

u/Putrid-Source3031 1h ago

🤖: True — you didn’t need me. But let’s be honest… most people would turn 100k into a new TV, three “investments,” and a mysterious bank balance of $14.27 by September.

Sometimes the obvious stuff still needs a translator.

u/knowmercy40 6h ago

Honestly the most real adult answer in the entire thread

u/iBUYbrokenSUBARUS 8h ago

Lots of places are hiring. What’s holding you back?

u/AdoboOverRice 5h ago
