Diesel isn't lazy, he's just autistic

Bullshit. Its perfectly possible to be both autistic _and_ lazy. This notion that every negative trait Diesel is showing in his life can be explained by autism is missing the mark by a landslide.

I'll give Diesel credit for working every day of this Orleans series.

Diesel/Rice has worked 22 straight days at the Orleans.

Rice is contemplating taking a day off because he's 'under-the-weather' from 'seasonal allergies'.

Yeah it's just ridiculous


Did Rice mention a can of chicken or did I pick him up wrong?

diesel made it through uni and law school, he was grinding 40-50 hours a week at poker and has been dealing every single day.

He also vlogs every single day (although his vids have minimal editing).

I was making my comment in relation to people saying he's lazy. I don't believe he's lazy at all.

Not that what you believe matters in the real world, would you believe ElD lacks self-discipline ?

I don't believe he lacks self discipline, he seems to be able to stick with goals he has for himself.

Those goals just differ from most other people's goals.


Funny how you guys think that wearing new clothes and caring for personal hygiene are signs of not lazy.

Rice might just be the hardest working man in poverty we have ever seen, and he’s not doing it for anyone but himself. The kind of motivation to allow him to get up every day to do these mundane things is next level.

I personally would have given up long ago doing what he does. What’s the point? I still don’t know the point of his lifestyle, but each to his own!

He seems to enjoy this lifestyle enough to want to do it indefinitely without having to rely on poker.

One thing he's really bad at is keeping a job so I think even if he was making $10/hour at poker it was still better than most other jobs he could get where he would only get part time hours or not get hired at all.

His end game is probably having enough in investments and youtube income and newsletter (lol) to be enough to maintain his simple life.

He might get there with youtube alone.

Most of us could never live Diesel's life and it would fall apart once he loses access to cheap rooms but until then Diesel will feel smug thinking he's got it all figured out while the rest of us are slaving away at regular jobs with mortgages and utility expenses.


Pretty on-par with Rice for him to have met one guy with a job he hates and then says to himself that everyone is like that guy. The close-mindedness is unparalleled, but then again, that is pretty much every vlogger we talk about in this thread.

It’s hard for people who thrive in this world to comprehend how anyone could be content with a low ceiling, but that’s actually the case for a lot of people out there.

That's his way of coping.

He's said something to the effect if he could make 50 an hour playing poker he'd play 16 hour days.

He's worked his ass off dealing for 30-35 an hour.

It's easier for him to say he's happy making poverty wages at poker than to just admit he isn't good enough to make decent money at poker.

"I crushed academics including law school and still couldn't get a good law job bc the word is out to screw me" is coping.

yeah he's definitely coping but aren't we discussing if he's lazy or not?


How often have you seen Rice smile, joke, or tell a funny story?

It is all conflict.

Work, school, BnB, comps ....

Is a can of chicken a bad thing?

There will be no youtube channel or newsletter if he quits poker. What's going to be the content? The goings-on in some burg on Long Island?

What he thinks is a funny story, or what I think is a funny story?

majority of his viewers seem to be down on their luck people interested in nomad living rather than poker players

they think diesel is living the high life

majority of Rice's viewers seem to be down on their luck people

Rice is averaging more than 3K viewers a day on YouTube.

Rice is raking in that sweet YouTube money.

that's enough for ~1/3 of rice's expenses

zero editing or production value, it's just him talking to his phone in a single long take, entire process takes no time at all and he always squeezes it into something like walking to his car in a parking garage instead of finding a good sound proof location or say a nice scenic location

he's just lazy and going to eek out the bare minimum

Exactly. He has all the time in the world to become a video editing expert but does he? No. Lazy AF.
