| Literally, nothing. Why aren't you working, or contributing to society? |
|
Are you equating a job as the only way to contribute to society?
I get no paycheck, but I care for relatives, run the house, make sure our lives run as smoothly as possible with several people having ADHD, ASD. |
| Define do nothing? |

Those people aren't posting on DCUM.
People in DCUM are performing a community service are peer mentoring. |
| The world would not survive exposure to my awesome and terrible power, so I contain myself for everyone's protection. |
| I don't know anyone like that. Seriously, not a single person. |
| I don’t do anything and it’s awesome. I don’t work, I don’t volunteer, and I don’t help anyone out outside of family. Most mornings I wake up not fully aware of what day it is. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. |
People on DCUM, like me, are gov workers bored at their job and wasting time |
| I'm dead and no one has reanimated me yet. |

I'd prefer "not contributing to society" over "contributing negatively to society."
Do you really want some of these people who are "doing nothing" to be responsible for important things? |
| Would love to hear what OP does that is such a positive impact on the world. |

That's me. I volunteer intensively during the winter and spring, but do nothing in the summer and fall. I earn passive money in my stock portfolio, but do not have a salaried position. And you know what? My health is better that way. I look and feel younger than my same-aged friends who are harried at work, and juggle childcare and parents on top of it. I can enjoy my life. So no regrets here, OP. |
| ^ I have teens and aging parents, BTW, but they're easier to manage without a high-pressure job. Sometimes in the winter, my volunteer work becomes intense, but it's OK, because I know there's an end date in the spring. |

You’re awesome, much better than insufferable OP. |
