Advice from oldfags thread.The last one died.
bump for oldfag advice
I am not an oldfag but I will start: quit this website while you can.
>>34565735Don't be a fag
>>34565777There's something inherently addictive about this site for me. I'd say it's the anonymity and risk free "social" interaction—there's an old ass copypasta that used to exactly that, and also would advise everyone to leave. I've been socially awkward as far as I can remember and got progressively worse as I got older, especially after leaving highschool by 2019(yes, covid tourist).
>>34565855It's probably more-so the fact that we have a strong drive for daily socializing, and we don't have other places where we can express ourselves honestly daily.The human drive for socializing really does seem that strong, where it needs to be consistent and every day.
>>34565735>The last one died.The youngfags were all too rude and drove us away.
>>34565961Oh I didn't see too much of that, maybe it happened toward the end.
>>345659714channers REALLY don't like it when you point out national politics isn't worth your time
>>34565735if you think you found the one - dont wait and think that she will wait forever to make up your mind, wife her up. I promise - the grass isin't greener. This is advice when you, of course, have a genuine and loving relationship.
Don't be a bully. Don't hang out with people who are bullies. Don't hang out with groups that have punching bag friends or resident lolcows. Don't hang out with people where the moment someone leaves the room everyone starts talking shit about them.
My wife left me and took the kids and the dog. She said she left because I wouldn't stop calling her names and was emotionally unavailable. What do I do? I did tell her I wanted a divorce 3 months ago but I changed my mind. I think she's going to divorce me, what do I do oldfags
>>34565735Don't take your youth, your relationships, and your opportunities for granted.Time flies brothers, it passes us by so fast. At one moment you're a kid watching shit on NG or AlbinoBlackSheep, trolling forums and MMOs and shit, and on the other you're a loner that stayed behind despite all your friends having moved up in life.Do not let good opportunities pass you by. Make use of the talents and skills you have, do what you love, and don't let fear take hold of you. Live you bastards. Live and do good.>>34565855>>34565933You're both right. I've been using this place on and off since like 2006 or '07 or so. At first it it was fun but I didn't see much of the appeal, but as I got older and friendships started to go, I've turned to this site more and more. It is some form of interaction at least, one that doesn't involve having to deal with more annoying aspects of social media, even if this place does have its own set of mofos as well.It's good to find people you vibe with, even if it is to complain about something.
start saving money and investing. do not be a degen and gamble on risky stocks, don't use leverage, don't listen to retard investor influencers that want to give you fomo and sell their courses or whatever. be boring and invest in safe companies and index funds. start immideatly and put away some percentage of your income every week or month or however often you get paid.
>>34566158When is the right time to buy and sell, respectively?
>>34566178you only buy
>>34566158>don't use leverageBest advice, I lost 25k USD on this shit. Had to start saving again one year ago, I'm working my ass off and still couldn't get 25k USD back bcs I'm from a third rate country. But I'm getting in there.
>>34565777>>34565855This site definitely has always been bad, but I honestly think every other 'social' place on the internet today isn't better... Maybe opting out the 'modern web' completely would be best.
>>34566178Do the opposite of what they want you to do. If some hype or influencer tells you this is the next big thing its only because the whales plan to dump and they need some retards to buy their junk. Buy when everyone screams sell and the price went below what fundamentals suggest, then wait
>>34565735Listen up knuckleheads, I got some things to say youd best get used to listening. 1). ignore this fag >>345657772). dont be rude >>3456596133). things only get worse >>345660474). only degenerated win in investing >>345661585). sage and wise >>34566274
>>34566337>ignore this fag >>34565777 (You)Fuck off.
>>34566140>Do not let good opportunities pass you by. Make use of the talents and skills you have, do what you love, and don't let fear take hold of you. Live you bastards. Live and do good."contribute to GDP, ideally for free so bossman can buy a summer home"
>>34566262It's the worst social media site except for all the others and that's a fact.
>>34566646This. I always wasted time on the net. I just landed here because there is nothing else worthwile. I think what they actually mean is „get off the internet in general“
>>34565855>>34565933I'm pretty extraverted and confident but I'm in a weird spot in my life right now where I am forced to put on a fake persona with people IRL that I would otherwise never interact with and it fucks with my head. Speaking on here honestly about things that interest me is such a relief. I love how I can go on /v/ and ctrl+f "final fantasy" or something and talk passionately about how much I hate Square Enix.>>34566178I've only done crypto but I've been quite successful. If you buy something that instantly goes down and seems to be on a general downwards trend, don't be afraid to sell and cut your losses. On the reverse if you're up like 70% or something don't become greedy and take your win. I think a problem a lot of people have is they are way too slow to sell. I don't understand people that say they lost 10000's like do they just never sell and pray their stock miraculously goes up again? Never get emotional over money you lose and treat the money you use to buy and sell stock like "special" money that you can afford to lose and never get emotional over a loss, treat it like a learning experience or something. As for actually reading the market I think it's something people generally have or don't have. I'm sure you can learn, but I think a lot of people just aren't genetically made to do trading. I think I might have learned a lot of trading skills from making a lot of money in MMORPG's as a child/teenager so maybe it's a thing you have to learn early I really don't know but a lot of people just seem to be completely retarded at trading. >>34567508I really hate it when people equate the internet with social media and forums. I never posted on any forums until I started using 4chan a few years ago but I spent a lot of time playing multiplayer videogames and I know I am a better person for it. Mitch Jones (popular WoW streamer) often says stuff like how he learned all his essential life skills from playing MMO's and I feel kind of the same.
I'm the OP of the original oldfag advice thread (although I can't prove it). Just want to say thanks to the fags that participated in good faith. I read every single post; I'm glad this thread is still going.I will complain though, I saw nearly no marriage-related advisories, which is weird because I swear you guys love bragging about your wives in every other thread.
Early 30s old femfag.If there is such hang ups when getting intimate: bad smell, pain with penetration, she feels unloved. Bacterial vaginosis is not an std, it can be related to pH imbalance or introduction of your own dick cheese bacteria into her flora. She can clean herself too much, use the wrong soaps etc. Vagismus is an unusual constriction of the pelvic floor muscles which can be helped with physio. If you dont tell your partner these things, she can tell when it seems like something is up. She probably doesnt know that it's a smell or tightness issue. You do need to be gentle with your approach. Waiting until she leaves you and then writing a laundry list of ways she "failed her family" with stinky pussy being the first complaint...you failed as a communicator. Just tell her like you would tell a friend there's an eyeball growing out of the back of their head. "There's something I've noticed and I'm not sure you're aware of. Mayhe you should see a doctor and get evaluated"I hesitate posting this because it is so blatantly obvious this is a personal problem. But if maybe one couple gets saved over something so trivial and fixable sobeit. No bro, you are not hiding your disdain well. You are not helping by white knuckling through a repulsion like that. People can read right through it. They may not be able to pinpoint why something is off. Also just be nice to people. Don't call them names. If you like to joke around and belittle people and they ask you not to, maybe hold off of the insults and name calling. And dont go shocked Pikachu face when they hurl an insult back at you.
>>34565735The last oldfag died?
>>34565735Oh wow I only now noticed OP picrel is a gif of Mad Men season 6? ending. Truly one of the greatest tv moments of all time! Personally my favorite Both Sides Now version is the Dave Van Ronk one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMhBdIu8gaI&list=RDKMhBdIu8gaI&start_radio=1
alcohol is self-destructive, interpersonally and physically, avoid it
>>34565777false
>>34566090try to make it work, divorce is hell
>>34567508mm decent advice
>>34565777if I quit it I won't have anyone to talk to, at all
Any other wizards here? 34 year old virgin, isolated, never dated. I have no idea how to interact with people or make friends
>>34565777>social media is full of fake "influencers" and carefully curated content that's even less genuine than the shit that legacy media had on television 40 years ago>every single advertiser has outsourced their creative marketing skills to AI so now every company looks like a cheap Chinese dropshipping scam>YouTube is full of third worlders shitting out low quality content or some microcelebrity paid millions to sit in front of a camera blabbering with terminally online faggots orbiting his opinions>every other entertainment service is on a streaming subscription platform that "sells" you the license to a product, which is basically just a circle back to renting movies and music>most sites require you to input your most sensitive personal information for access to the most basic fucking features because there's an entire sub-field in marketing built on data mining now>can't even watch a porn video without submitting your driver's license and social security number>the biggest and most widely used technology platforms have terrible fucking opsec and sell your information for pennies>you have to opt for a phone that runs on a closed operating system because otherwise your location, spending habits, clicks, and even your voice are constantly being recordedThe internet in general is no longer usable in its current state. If you're old enough to have been online 20 years ago then you already know this. The internet has completely lost everything that made it a novel thing worth investing time into and is essentially a popped bubble.30+ years later, the internet is only useful for the one function it was invented for: to allow for instant access to digital libraries. Everything else failed. There's nothing you can get from it that you can't get in real life.Anyway, I'm old. I'm gonna get some sleep.
>>34566090lmao get wrekt idiot. should have come here asking for advice on how to be more emotionally available, how to control your anger, and how to be a better partner, but you didn't, so you deserve this divorce.
>>34565855If we are being honest though, when was the last time you had good advice on anything here? I don't know if it's being old and knowing more, but I think a huge part of it is that just the retards stayed (says something about me too). There is nothing really new here like back in the day.I do think it's that we are comfortable with each other more than other groups at this point.>>34567840>tfw getting sent out for cranberry to the pharmacy
gf barely wants to have sex and then looks bored when we do, although does cum on my dick, been with her 2.5 years though and aside from this does appear to love me through other actions. 25, full head of hair, better shape than most dudes, no awful to look at so dunno why shes like this. Used to have sex with ex daily. I dont wanna break up with her but it sucks, she gets jealous over other women looking at me in public and one even started playing with my hair infront of her once and she threatened to punch her so she is aware other women like me so idk why she wont bounce on my shit more frequently, always some sort of excuse, I dont feel sexy, I'm on my period, im ill, I ate bad food etc. We dont live together but live very close irl so it shouldn't be so infrequent, its like once a month at this point which is insane. I also dont think she's cheating as I never notice anything off at hers and I sometimes go over unannounced as we live very close, not for the purposes of snooping or anything but if I just felt like it for a few mins.
>>34565777At that point you might as well argue to not use the internet at all. You can be a married home owner with a loving relationship with your family and children while still using this site.
>>34571767You just put into words all the turmoil going on in your head, but not even once mentioned bringing the issue to her. If you did, and nothing changed, then maybe it's time to dump her.
