    In case you’re out of the loop like me and need to look it up:

    NEET = This is a term used in the field of education, the acronym stands for; Not in Education, Employment or Training but young people have started to use it as a term for bums/layabouts with no future.

    Now that’s some bad parenting. But you are going to need to do something if you don’t eventually wanna live on the streets. Your mom isn’t going to be there forever, and doing nothing for longer will make it more difficult.

    And if it’s her that’s keeping you down and disfunctional, I can tell you from experience its 1000x better to live alone.

    This sounds like getting a job thrown on your lap, unless you really hate it, go for it. You can always use it for some experience and go for something else later.

      Please dispatch is a truly terrible first job though.

      They need to be started off with something much more low stakes so that when they inevitably screw it up it isn’t a major issue

      I don’t think this counts as parenting, because OP isn’t a child.

      That’s a very fed up roommate being passive aggressive instead of just going through a justified eviction.

        OP’s mom was responsible for making them a productive, happy, independent person. But she clearly failed, that’s on her

          I don’t think anyone knows the green text poster in question, so it could be either honestly. ‘You can lead a horse to water’ and all of that

            Human children aren’t horses, and I know being a parent is difficult, and that you might fail. And even if you do fail it might not be your fault, but it is still your responsibility.

            You made the kid after all, you put them in the weakest state any human could ever be.

            Plenty of people try to convince themselves otherwise, but you didn’t give that kid a choice in wether they wanted to live

              I’m not comparing children to horses, it’s a proverb. You’ve created a really detailed narrative around a green text (meme) that I don’t really feel like playing along with.

              PS; I am not the mother of this green text, not sure why you’re framing it like that

                Sure, let’s expand on your proverb, and use it as a methaphor. The parents are responsible for the horse needing to drink in the first place. Even though they can’t make them drink, it is still their responsibility. When it doesn’t drink, that’s on them: they caused the situation leading to that failure

                  Resenting your parents for you being alive is one of the more juvenile hurdles that people tend to get over at some point in their teens. I am a little curious as to what your reasoning is for being unable to move beyond the perceived injustice of incarnation.

                  Your parents were born, just like you were. Is it your grandparents fault that they put that suffering on your parents who passed it on to you? What about their parents? And their parents? Which generation should have been sterilized to dodge your suffering?

                  Depending on your beliefs, your culprit is either Adam or Homo-Erectus. Better still, let’s blame the fish that walked, or the amoeba in the tide pool.

                  It’s time to get over it.

    I’d rather kill myself than work police dispatch.

    Edit: folks, this is a commentary on how dispatch jobs have a higher rate of suicide.

      In my city the dispatch handles police/fire/EMS. They’re civilians and it’s a pretty depressing job. The pay isn’t that good but it is with the city so the benefits are great, lots of time off and top-notch insurance.

        Let’s hope anon won’t get a major disaster at his watch. I’ve heard many stories about how 911 hotline workers get scarred by this job. You get people literally dying or endangered on the phone and can’t do nothing but forwarding their request to another service.

    I hope he lasts three months, because they always need more dispatchers. So many of them quit because of the horrible things they hear. Like people crying for help while they’re being killed.

    I couldn’t do that shit. I don’t have the fortitude for it.

      I’m ACAB all day, but dispatchers help with fires and medical emergencies as well, doesn’t really seem like they fall completely under the same umbrella.
