Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Life Prole Tips: Live somewhere cheap, with roommates. Better yet, live with family. Don't have kids, don't have pets. See if you can get to work without a car so you don't have payments or insurance or gas. Don't bother with health insurance (you think you could afford that copay anyway, Mr. Buffet?), and if you see an ambulance, run. Pack your lunch or eat at home, look for deals at the grocery (and if you "forget" to scan a few things in the self-checkout, well, we all make mistakes). Pirate everything (unless it's a small creator, at least).
Really the main thing is rent. Rent is just a sieve that sucks away all your money so your landlord can sit around all day and then fly to the Bahamas. And there ain't shit you can do about it, short of living out a van, which has its own expenses. I've been in situations where even doing all that shit, half my paychecks go straight to rent. I'm incredibly fortunate now because I'm able to stay at my elderly uncle's house after he's moved out, and let me tell you, I'm just working at a warehouse but I'm putting away a lot more money than I ever could before.
