      Well, some like a little bit of comfort. Just sitting a cold house all day and drinking only water is not for everybody.

            A cold house at that! Where I am it’s 30 degrees C in September and everything’s on fire so you can’t even open the windows. I’d love to be in a cold house right now.

              The cold is legit pretty nice. The cold is such an infinitely easier problem to fix than warmth, you can just put a coat on or use something like an electric blanket (or central heating but in Europe that is not affordable atm lol) and the issue is entirely solved.

                I tend to run pretty hot anyway, so anything over about 25C means I don’t function very well lol. And here it’s been over 25C since about the end of May so I’m really looking forward to the winter at this point.

                  Same, at 20c I begin to be a little uncomfortable and at 25-30c is torture lol. Luckily this has actually been a pretty mild summer here even though I know it’s been bad in most of the rest of the world. The weather must have decided we deserve a break because we had our all time hottest temp in the UK last year at about 40.5c in some parts of the country.

        Why confine yourself to earning a living through wage labour? There are countless other ways to make money

            Easy, just be rich already!

            You know how much labor a landlord does? None! Even if you consider things like picking up checks telling people you won’t fix stuff is labor there are services that will do that for you!

            Stocks? If you are rich you can stack the deck and never lose!

            Rich people literally cannot give money away fast enough to be poor.

            Selling a product or service on your own without going through a company. Not easy, but hypothetically possible.

            In an incredibly basic sense: buy low, sell high. As we live in a capitalist society, this is the way things work.

            Those who choose to slave away as workers are only generating profit for their overlords
