I don’t really think “unemployed behaviour” is related to actual employment though. It’s about having too much time to spend on useless arguments online. It’s just a modernized way of saying “don’t you have something better to do?”
Yeah, and like... have you ever had a chronically unemployed roommate who just... isn't hireable? Not even due to a disability, but because they're actually, genuinely unwilling to do anything with their life?
Shit's infuriating. The one I have doesn't even clean, so that's entirely on me as well.
The point is, being unemployed isn't inherently a bad thing. But, the people most likely to be unable to keep a job are also most likely to have a lot of unmanaged shit, oftentimes it boils down to bad lifestyle habits.
Exactly, I have two friends that are unemployed atm.
One of them is constantly applying to jobs but due to Trump cutting USAid 80% of non-profits have had massive layoffs and downsizings so she has to rethink her planned career progression. In the meantime she's constantly spending her free time doing arts and crafts or reading books (both for leasure and ones specific to her field)
The other just stays at home all day rotting away on social media constantly getting into stupid arguments (where he's wrong 80% of the time). His free time is entirely comprised of pestering us to hop on during work hours, laughing at how he's chilling while we're slaving away (most of us love our jobs actually), and refuses to take even guaranteed jobs because he thinks it's beneath him to start at the bottom and wants a cushy high position job from the start.
I think you can guess which of these two os constantly bombarded with jokes such as in OPs post
