I have a couple questions. You don't need to answer all of them, so long as you have something smart to say about at least one. I won't accept stupid answers.

1. I need a new job. Preferably something I can do at night. Doesn't need to be high paying. Ideas?

2. I'm from the year 1999, and want recommendations on what to read and watch from this new century. Genre doesn't matter.

3. How often do people make use of this network? Every day? Once a week? I'd like to get a sense of how frequently I should look.

[More specifically, he's already decided that he dislikes social media and wants to know how much he can reasonably avoid it.]

bartending or a stripclub

or bartending at a strip club



you should try watching the new anime they got out theyve got some sentai shit thats pretty great

[jojoceanman]

I don't really know the first thing about bartending. Or stripping. Working at a club isn't a bad idea.

[His grandfather is the family stripper ok.]

Sentai doesn't appeal to me anymore. It's for kids.

[rassera]

[Hey, maybe it's genetic!]

first off all you have to do to strip is take off your clothes right how hard can it be but theres always being a bouncer if youre not smaller than a high schooler



and second off fight me on the sentai thing that is ageless and timeless

text;

[jojoceanman]

Even I know that's not how stripping works. More people would do it if it were so simple.

And I'm not going to fight you. Sentai shows are for kids. That's just a fact.

[rassera]

maybe the job field doesnt allow for enough strippers and they have a hotness quota

you dont know

[YOU don't know, Kaneda.]

whats it like being so wrong

[oh, now there's a familiar name that she hasn't seen in a looong time. Hazel's pleasant surprised to see that her former housemate has returned to this world, both for Josuke's sake and her own - maybe a little more for her own, since apparently he doesn't remember his last stay here. god bless blank slates.]

Depends. How good would you say you are at relaxing your organs?

...and how important is it for you to be able to watch all those movie recs while on the job, I guess.

[jojoceanman]

I would prefer to not relax them. [He stopped his heart once and it was not a pleasant experience.] I don't want the sort of lazy job that would give me too much free time to watch things.

[deadtective]

Ah, too bad. There's, like, at least five fucking dudes up in Maurtia Falls who'd kill for another good bodypacker.

[the fact that Hazel is technically trying to arrest said guys in a sort of slow motion sort of way goes unmentioned. actual detective work isn't as fun as nebulous morality.]

You're an imPort, though, and that means you can pretty much just fucking close your eyes and pick a job and they'll let you have it even if you're not qualified. Might as well just label a roulette wheel with shit you wanna do and spin it.

[jojoceanman]

Nice to know, but I'm not interested in taking on a job I can't do. Seems pointless honestly. I want to prove my worth past the "status" we get here.

[Hence why he's not immediately running off to get a job in his field. He wants to do something to earn that respect, not just walk in and act like some hot shit asshole.]

Usually you can do night hours at clubs or bars.Or you can also be a janitor at night.

And we use the network almost everyday.

[ text ]

[jojoceanman]

That seems to be the best bet. I don't like noisy environments, but it can't be helped.

This network is that popular then. The appeal is lost on me.

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

You can try night shifts at convenience stores, as well. Or a night guard. There are actually many quiet jobs during the night.

We use it to communicate with other imPorts and to also spread information, answer questions or just be generally goofy.

[ text ]

[jojoceanman]

Information spreading is useful. Guess I'm just too old to get into it.

[Jotaro you're only 28... though really he wouldn't be a fan of social media even at 17.]

I don't necessarily want a quiet job either. I'd like an active work life. Maybe I should just become a bodyguard or something.

WELCOME 2 MODERN LIFE we sit on the internet all the freaking time!!!!



ok but the thing that sucks about basically all my movie recs is that everything cool and decent is non existent and INSTEAD has a weird bizzaro offbrand version
i suggest 1, you stay away from anything starring an import
2, get into slasher movies

[jojoceanman]

So everyone's a zombie attached to a screen. Noted.

Why slasher movies specifically? Those films are pretty boring.

[nastygram]

chill judgey the interwebz r gr8


slasher films BECAUSE they are great first of all, screw you dude
but also because theyr e mostly free of bizarro offbrand phenom i just mentioned
like i guess no one cares enough to do remakes if it's crap

i am on this desperate quest for my actual fav but no dice so far

[jojoceanman]

Most of them are just boring, which is worse than being bad. Nightmare on Elm Street and Hitchcock's Psycho were the only good ones I watched.

Is bad grammar also a new century phenomenon? I can barely read your responses.

1. Check job listings and don't ask strangers on the internet to do your job for you. Unless you have a background in science, in which case, I'm looking.

2. Try Requiem For A Dream. It's a classic.

3. Every day. But half the time it's just, oh, I want to know what to name my new puppy, oh, I'm upset about being here, so I wouldn't bother actually checking the damn thing every day.

[ yeah, jojo, you're talking to another old man ]

text

[jojoceanman]

I'm have a Ph.D. in Marine Biology. Unless that's the sort of science you're looking for, I can't offer much else.

Both things noted. Not sure what's to be upset about, other than being taken from your home. It could be worse.

[seriously as far as being whisked to alternate worlds go, he was expecting worse...]

Re: text

[musclemothers]

Not what I'm looking for in the least, but if you have a Ph.D. in Marine Biology, I'm not sure why you're looking for night shift work at what will presumably be minimum wage.

And how, in your opinion, could this be worse?

[jojoceanman]

I want to spend the day researching without constraints. Get my work published into some journals if it's good enough. That's all. Money doesn't matter to me.

[Except when it comes to buying his nice clothes, but he might hopefully have that covered.]

It could be the exact opposite of what we have right now.

[missleadingquestions]

People use it aaaaalllllll the time. also you should watch the shows the imports put on here!! there are tons!

[LIKE HER OWN. not a plug, or anything, no.]

also aren't people who work at night like, watchguards or something?

[What else do you do at night besides fight club]

text 2/2 sorry about her

[missleadingquestions]

1999 tho

you must be old i was like born that year

[jojoceanman]

I'm 28. If my age were properly reflected by the current year, I would be 46.

[Is that old? Well it's certainly middle aged if nothing else.]

What sort of shows do you recommend? As long as it isn't boring, I can watch most things to pass time.

[missleadingquestions]

omg you really are old

i mean not really, but you know what I mean

[DOES HE, MAYA?]

I have a show! It's an action show. And there's a couple talk shows from the imPorts too

but also there's a site where you can just watch a ton of different movies and series on your TV at home
