    Second best to OP, I’ve always thought, would be night security guard at a place that never checks up on you.

    The kind of guy who is deep asleep and doesn’t see the protagonist on the security cameras. I’d be full on playing video games, and even if I noticed someone stealing shit I’d just let them, assuming I didn’t work for an orphanage or something.

    I doubt that job really exists anymore, though. They probably have 3rd parties check up in you remotely, and track your active status in Teams or whatever. I guess what I really want is to (not really) work in the 80’s or 90’s.

      Yeah that’s a good one, also hotel night receptionist is very chill afaihbt.

      Also about the security job, you normally have to go and do rounds every hour or so, and blip your tag. I mean it’s a security job, they will know what you are doing, unless you’re a bulldog with a spiked collar guarding a junkyard or something.

    That’s just a dream of power.

    I dream of living the nice life without any source of income/power, amongst a society where others do the same.

      I’d say less a “dream of power” and more “enough money to live my life, but not too much”. In that sense it’s different from just wanting endless money.

      I just want to be comfortable and to be able to experience my life. In our society, that takes (some) money, unfortunately.

      Totally agree with you though, in that it would be much better if we had a smarter society where money didn’t have to be involved to get that life. That utopic planet where they’ve moved beyond the antiquated ideas of wealth and power and everyone just chills and travels. I’d live there.

        Yes, not much or endless power, but still enough to pay someone to make stuff (eg bread) for you - I just still called that a dream of ‘some’ power, an ez life (that imo is technically possible now for all the billions of us).

        I’m just saying that I want bread without making it or make (pay) someone else to make it (I don’t like it). Idk, just a dream. Ppl need & want to work, but what they want. Perhaps a species somewhere can achieve something similar.
