>oh, I've wasted my life.
why would you think you've wasted your life if you did what you wanted to do
>>150551289Are you really enjoying life if you bicker about every single thing you dont like?
>>150551295if he enjoyed complaining then yeah
>>150551276literally me rn
Does this type of guy still exist or did they move on to vidya/anime/other hobbies
>>150552789They now go by either "Luna" or "Lilith" and can be found on discord.
>>150551276But, Aquaman, you cannot marry a woman without gills. You're from two different worlds.
>>150551276He only wasted his life because he wasn't happy doing what he did.
>>150551276
The amount of money I have saved by not eating out everyday like an animal is crazy.
>>150552789Yes but they hide more often since tech advancements made it easier to not be seen.
>>150551276didn't he literally get a japanese waifu?
>>150553917The meme about millianals spending too much on avocado toast is 100% accurate and anyone who disagrees is a seething grubhubber
>>150553999>avocados are not even a dollar on their own>bread loaves average about 3 dollarswhere did this meme come from
>>150554018That's the point of meme. No avocado toast you get at a restaurant will be cheaper than making your own. It's pointing out how people will spend more money for less food to avoid grocery shopping and cooking
>>150553925yeah they've been married for over 11 years, Stan Lee officiated
>>150554077if anything i would respect the simpsons writers more if they just kept him a single nerd forever.
>>150554059lot of "affordable" places don't have ovens, stoves even these days, it's just a hotplate (that's out of contract) or fuck offplus there's the whole house prices deal skewing everything else with rampant inflation that doesn't match wage inflationit may have been true even as late as 20, 25 years ago that you could save money in meaningful amounts by not getting a coffee while you're out, and it may have been true that the cumulative effect of all that would put you in a better financial position long-termbut it's not true now, because the median house price in the US has risen 100k in the past 5 years alone and more than doubled since 2000; no amount of deferred gratification is going to pay for the important shit, you're always going to be paying someone else's mortgage for the rest of your life if you were born after 2000if your life is going to be devoid of the pleasures of house ownership (and the security and financial benefits that come with it in a society which relies so heavily on house prices to underpin economic growth) then you might as well have all the other pleasures you can afford, because otherwise that money is just sitting there doing nothing while you try to save for something you'll never afford, which is bad for the economy
>>150554160>reddit spacing
>>150553925>Got a real woman that encourages his hobbies>Runs maybe the only comic book store in the US that doesn't need to sell manga and 40k on the side>Has met various celebrities he loves>Can probably beat anyone in nerd triviaHe's living way better than at least half of this board.
>>150554160>if you were born after 2000so are we at the point now where gen z will complain about millennials being lucky and entitled while gen x and boomers still call us immature, irresponsible failures. can't win.
>>150554190Yeah, it happens literally to every new gen. If the alphas are mentally competent enough they will do it to zoomies.
>>150554190I think it's just zoomers reaching the point of "hey fuck you too pal". Since a lot of normie millennials will make fun of gen z for things like the "gen z stare" which is just them being tired from the usual customers at work. I personally don't complain about millennials, they got the first stick shoved up their ass by the generations before and more sticks will show up as time goes on.
>>150554242So what happened with gen x and the boomers?
>>150554228every new gen? millennials seem to be in a bit of a weird spot where most of their parents had a better quality of life than them while continuing to talk down to and insult them and now the younger generation hates them as well. did gen x overall have a worse quality of life than their parents? they seem to be the last generation overall who could afford a house and retirement plan.
>>150554275Their thing was they thought everyone around them was fake and inauthentic which is hilarious in hindsight.
>>150552789They have youtube channels complaining about people called "Luna" and "Lilith"
>>150553999>>150554018>>150554059That meme was literally fucking fabricated by closeted homosexual and out-of-closet literal vampire tech CEO military-industrial contract billionaire Peter Thiel, and every anti-sjw sloptuber back in the day ate it up and spread it because they were probably backed by him way down the line, just like how JD Vance's entire career was literally funded by him
>>150553925That was later, the OP joke was relatively early in the show, even before the movie, where he instead says it's all been worth it.
>>150554190Millennials were annoying, the "numale soiboy" meme is the most stereotypical mellinnial, they shit talked everything in the 00's while jacking off the glorified toy commercials they grew up with in the 80's, and a lot of them shit talk zoomersOf course zoomers are gonna mock them even if they were worse off than their parents(and genpol is kinda stupid anyway in the grander scheme of things)
>>150553917>>150553999I don't know any millennials that eat out every day, but I have worked with a few zoomers that would have food doordashed to them at work every single day.
>>150555743plenty of millennials were born in the 90's... most of the shit people clown on millennials for is gen x shit. all the 80's nostalgia is targeted at gen x who came of age in the 80's.
>>150555707>Want to make joke about young people eating out too much >Pick the cheapest, dumbest thing someone could overpay for comedic effect Ease up on the Tylenol, bud
>>150555774I think that is just a common universal trait of people in their 20s working their first jobs. They just eat out a lot until they begin to realize how it costs them a shitload of money every month
>>150552789They totally do, but they do not stand out nearly as much anymore since all things superheroes and video games are basically mainstream. It was a lot weirder when a comic guy was a really niche thing for an adult to be into when everyone else was expected to age out of comics completely by high school.
>>150552789Their community has been devastated by trannyism the way black communities in the Eighties were devastated by crack, but every now and then you find one in the wild.
>>150555887>mfw "Millennial writing" was started by Gen X-ers like Whedon
>>150555707I just took it to be more old guy bitching about the damn kids these days, like they have always done since the invention of the bitter old guy.
>>150556072i see way more skinnyfat to obese manchildren/womanchildren than i do trannies irl i don't know about you guys.
>>150554160The problem now is that rent prices have been exploding upwards since 2021 or so. Right now an average 1 Bedroom apartment is in the $1500 range in most cities except the more expensive places. And it's slowly floating up into the 1600s almost everywhere, it likely will be the average in about a year. Those same apartments were in the $900 range back in 2019. Meanwhile nearly all apartment buildings are being consolidated into a very small handfull of mega companies that dictate national prices. And they have rules on minimum salary requirements, so half of the nation cannot afford a regular apartment unless they are making $60K a year. When just the base price of a home on the most entry level is out of everyone's price range, they cannot afford shit else either. Especially specialty shit like restaurant food and entertainment. It's not a surprise so many businesses are hurting badly right now. No one has spending money. Since the current administration is firmly in the zero regulation of any kind at all ever mindset, things will not be improving anytime soon either.
>>150553378Yes, that's what it means to waste one's life
>>150554160>lot of "affordable" places don't have ovens, stoves even these days, it's just a hotplate (that's out of contract) or fuck offWTF are these places? Someone's basement? A memefornia city?
>>150554275Millennials got kind of fucked over by the 08 recession and then 2020 ruining most companies and small businesses. Their parents never had a massive recession fucking up their career prospects or putting the family business out. The last bad one was in the early 70s that fucked over their parents instead. People coming up in the 80s and 90s had few problems. By the time the 08 recession got real bad most millennial's parents had locked in their home mortgage or paid off the house.
>>150554275It's frustrating when the boomers locked in their 30 year mortgage in the early 90s and were paying for a $180K house. while every other similar size house by 2010 was $400K or more. The down payment was too far beyond what any millennial could ever afford and then you had the recession ruining job capability post graduation. Also colleges quadrupled their tuition fees in the 00s so they were locked into student loans for a decade or more.
>>150554170>leading>>150556487>he doesn't knowit's rough out there, kid
>>150556487Los Angeles area apartments really are something out of a third world country, while still costing about $2500 a month or more. They are all old as shit with decades old carpet and walls that are falling in, the central air is a window unit shoved into a square cut hole in the wall. And the stove is a leftover from the 1940s. The 80+ year old paint peeling nightmares still average about 3K a month in rent. It's fucking insane. Anyone who cannot afford that really are living in decrepit old basements like that anon described. LA is just fucking impossible for anyone making less than $80K a year. I really have no idea how in the fuck poorer working people handle it, there are a lot of part time and fastfood workers in that town and I have no clue how they can make it.
>>150556072Wouldn't that be the RPG communities? DnD seems to be the prime goto past time for lesbians and transwomen that I have seen. DnD really doesn't seem like the basement dwelling nerd hobby it used to be.
>>150554160>because otherwise that money is just sitting there doing nothingNot entirely true, it's doing something while it's sitting there: Rapidly depreciating in value due to inflation.
>>150556665Got in early with the tech boom. So six-figure job and house. gtfo of renting old ass condos were hitting 2K a month to rent.>>150556715Yea I can believe that on LA. Shit is fuck when it is normal for the affluent to just chooper over the poor.
>>150554098Like us?
>>150556487Most of the anons ITT are sheltered retards that believe everything see on the internetAs long as you're not in Commiefornia, you can absolutely afford to live in a decent apartment or even a house as long as you're not retarded with your money but unfortunately most Millennials are>but muh recession in 08>but muh inflationRight because these things have never existed before or affected people in infinitely worse ways. You faggots want to LARP as Great Depression bowldusters and act like you're not here because you never saved money or even tried to have a longterm planmeanwhile your friends (if you have any) and family are getting their shit together and starting families and buying houses while you're sitting here crying about the decisions you made in life biting you in the assIt is pretty bad despite everything but people are still trying, you losers will forever cry and act like the victim instead of getting out of your situation. Git gud or die trying
>>150556863very sad to see anons turn into muh bootstraps boomers over time.
>>150551276the Meme of every R34 Fap-per
>>150552801jej
>>150554160Bullshit. Back in my day, a man just needed to pull himself up by the bootstraps and work a simple 9 to 5 at McD's, could easily afford a car and a home and support a wife and two kids. Problem is you youngsters got it too easy since my generation made living conditions better for you all, so now you just laze around listening to rock 'n roll and smoking weed while complaining every damn thing.
>>150556863>CommieforniaThe cheapest place is mid $400k, one bed and bath.I saw someone renting a closet (literally only a bed fit) for $700.It’s hell here.
>>150554018I know a place that charges 10 bucks for avocado toast
>>150554258Dumped criticisms about them onto gen y.
>>150556277>complaining about current administration when things are better than the previous administrationClassic /co/
>>150558675c'mon man nobody real ever admits to working at the yellow taint
>>150556863>1990>Average house downpayment costs 4x yearly wage>2025>Average downpayment costs 20x yearly wage.>This is increasing every year.But no, you go on about how "Them kids with they avacado toasts and Starbucks"
>>150551276Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
>>150558784don't worry anon millennials are poised to receive all the boomer wealth when they all die. which is what i would be saying if boomers weren't the greediest most spite filled generation to ever exist on the planet.
Why would anyone want to live in a city anyway?>Inb4 job opportunityIf you have to work at fucking Walmart to make ends meet anyway, then why not just do that as your only job, and still have more money left at the of the day by living in some mid-sized town?
>>150558784Again oldfags who locked in their mortgage when things were affordable cannot grasp the idea that the houses immediately next to their own are 4-5 times the price. They have no way of knowing since they are paying 20+ year old prices and have not looked at the market in decades. They always fall back on bootstraps.
>>150558864Well, not the ones who reverse mortgaged the house so they can take a cruise every year. Or sold the house so they can buy a huge RV and travel around Arizona.
>>150559094it's not that boomers haven't seen the evidence per se so much as boomers are fundamentally incapable of understanding that they are ever wrong about anything, they put online schizos to shame with their arrogance
>>150554160Places like that inspire you to do more, be more, and work your way up harder. NOBODY starts out at the top, you start in shit and work until you can afford that $200K home. The problem now is that no one is ever taught that. They want to graduate high school and bounce right into a 4 bedroom house like their parents while never understanding that their parents had to live in squalor too in their early 20s before they finally made enough money to put a down payment on their home. No one is taught basic entry level economics or grasp the value of hard work and achieving something in life. They want it all NOW.
>>150552801Sadly true
>>150553852Is this Sneed?
>>150556277Yes I'm sure it's allllll Trump's fault you can't afford rent in Commirfornia. Blame the bad orange man for all your own faults and failures.
>>150559125Thing is they are very very sheltered from it since they gre up in the time when college could be paid for with a part time job. Their friends and current coworkers all came up in the same world. Their house payment is less than $1K a month, same with all their equal age peers that they interact with the most. They really cannot see how things changed because they have no interaction with it outside of their kids complaining. It's a lot easier for them to grasp their kid is a lazy fuck that doesn't want to work than to grasp all the other houses on their block are now priced at half a million.
>>150556277...you forgot to mention nazis somewhere in your millennial onions bitchfest rant here buddy. Got to hit all those important bullet points.
>>150558922Because there is a 5% chance sticking in the city will get you your career. Going to bum fuck nowhere means you are stuck doing wal mart or shit plunging.
>>150556072Looks a bit like Gary from Venture Bros
>>150559118>you can't use your money to enjoy life because...........YOU JUST CAN'T, OK?!?!
>>150559244>Because there is a 5% chance sticking in the city will get you your career.Sounds like hell. Then again, I've never subscribed to the idea of my work being what I'd self-actualize through, and rather do that with my home life.Work is something I do so I can enjoy my life, and not something I do so I can get the sliver of a chance to enjoy some other work a bit more.
>>150559333i mean if you don't intend on giving your children or grandchildren anything when you die then why even bother having children to begin with. just to laugh at their suffering? the history books will paint boomers as the most evil and selfish generation to ever exist.
>>150559366A good career will better ease your home life. Can’t really enjoy much if you’re living on a 20k salary.
>>150559400It has been the American way to send the kids off to make their own damn fortune for a few decades now. The Boomers built all they had because their parents were mostly fucked from various economic disasters in the 60s and 70s so Boomers came up having a lot more pretty much on their own (ignoring all the various government assistance that got them to where they are) and they assume that is just plain how life is. Kids go out, make themselves rich and then they kick their kids out at 18 to keep doing the same.
>>150552789oh god are you blind?they are here with you right nowfat, ugly, unwashed, and virgin
>>150551276Which way Western Man?
>>150559460Might be a US thing then. In my country, as a shop assistant, you'd typically get somewhere between 40-48k a year.
>>150556277>Since the current administration is firmly in the zero regulation of any kind at all ever mindset, things will not be improving anytime soon either.Maybe allowing mass immigration to price gouge housing by creating higher demand (despite local birth rates plummeting) and reducing the bargaining power of wage negotiation with the locals wasn't a smart idea in hindsight now was it. But hey, lets import more Jeets, Pakis and Mexicans and pay them nothing and anyone who calls you out is a racist Nazi who gets executed. Really gets the noggin a joggin.
>>150559400>boomer gets kicked out at 18 or leaves house sooner due to abusive parents>makes his own fortune>his kids and grandkids inexplicably expect him to share his entire wealth for no reasonHave a little empathy and look at it from their perspective.
>>150559477>all the various government assistance that got them to where they areSuch as?
>>150559546In the US working retail is considered to be a failure by a loser, who is possibly a drug addict. You are expected to graduate up to a "Real" job where you sit behind a desk in an office. Boomers were hard trained to treat retail employees like shit on the basic principle that they are the lowest rung on society's ladder (lower than homeless/jobless people since they can be pitied)
>>150559477Good, I'm glad the commie tit is gone. You pay your own damn way or fuck off for the people that will work themselves up.
>>150560594Is there anything actually wrong with that mindset, though?
>>150555743What are you taking about?
>>150559205>It's a lot easier for them to grasp their kid is a lazy fuck that doesn't want to work than to grasp all the other houses on their block are now priced at half a million.To be fair, both of these things are usually true, since boomers are shitty parents.
>>150559333Yes, You're supposed to make your kids life better first.
>>150559148Ok boomer
>>150560695I did. By teaching them independence and not to expect handouts.
>>150559477>The Boomers built all they had because their parents were mostly fucked from various economic disastersAbsolute fucking nonsense. Boomers were all born post-WWII, their parents were the GI generation who came home from the war to a booming economy, a massive drive in home building that created the affordable suburbs and the benefits of the GI Bill.
>>150560813Gotta love when an entitled millennial pipes up about shit he's only learned about from image macros.
>>150556863Nah nah, they are right about the "larger landlords buying up smaller ones" part. I watched that one happen with my own eyes. The rent literally just shot up like $300 more for everyone who was up for renewal and you saw people moving out left and right.You guys keep saying Commiefornia but this shits happening in Bible Belt states and the worst part is you're seeing all kinds of corners cut because ownership will keep changing hands left and right until it becomes a glorified slum.
>>150560887Personally I love it when a zoomer pretends to be 70 years old to troll millennials.
>>150555927>make jokeThe whole avocado toast meme was made a by billionaire so other rich fucks can have a thought terminating cliche to parrot whenever the topic of young people(ie millennials at the time) being unable to afford houses was brought up It was always pure propaganda, but it sounds like you're really addicted to this
>>150559500I mean, if he really enjoyed it at the end: Is he really wrong?Sometimes a man just loves to consoom, especially when a lot of this shit was cheaper back in the day
>>150558718>things are better than the previous administrationHoly shit kill yourself
>>150552789>trooned out>became psycho MAGA/libtards>died of easily preventable maladies/diseases>an hero'd>became normies with jobs and families hahahaha j/kthe TRVE and HONEST geek/enthusiast/grognard type of guy is an increasingly rare breed.
>>150556757>DnD really doesn't seem like the basement dwelling nerd hobby it used to be.Niggas gotta accept that these are the same type of people who were always naturally attracted to the hobby, weird fat socially awkward nerds. Except one version is on HRT.
>>150559477No, that was literally only boomers, and only because the federal government literaly threw money at them thier entire life.
>>150561026Dilate leftard
>>150560949Me too but unironically
>>150554160>>150556277My rent is $450 with a fridge and an oven, but no washer or dryer, and I'm in walking distance to my college. All you have to do is not live in a major city shithole. Yes the economy is bad, but it's far FAR from impossible to become financially comfortable.
>>150561278What city?
>>150560594Except it's true
>>150559546That really doesn't work anywhere in the US if you have asperations of starting a family, enjoying travel, or not having to count pennies when you want to eat taco bell. Cost of living is out of fucking control where even in low CoL areas houses not shit can cost 350k-400k+ and weekly groceries $100-$150.To reference welfare/neet life kicks in when you make less than $30k.
>>150560629yes. venom should be reserved for the contrivances of society that should not exist. If a person fills a role that is ultimately necessary, structurally built in then they should not be ridiculed.
>>150559727Your housing was fucked without immigration when estate taxes were killed and it was pitched to boomers that owning multiple homes is a great way to beef up retirement. Only got worse when ABnB caught on like wild fire and everyone started trying to flip homes into hotels. Corpos accelerated all of this by buying homes in blocks.O and lets not forget Nimbys who don't want shit getting built..
>>150551276Nah, he should be cool with it.
>>150561278it costs more than that to live in a glorified dorm where i live and i can't move too far away because of family and work. i pay more than you to my parents every month because it's STILL cheaper than literally every other option.
>>150561278Bullshit, I live in bumfuck PA with a population of 5,000 and the cheapest apartment in my shitty economically dead small town is 2k. Its the same in the surrounding towns. Prices are going up everywhere.
>>150561278This was sound advice in 2015.
>>150561827Lol, sure it was already fucked, look at 2008 and banks throwing out loans and mortgages to people who shouldn't have them, but if there WASN'T excess immigration it would of popped the bubble and forced money hungry boomers to reevaluate a lot sooner. I also stand firmly on the fact that mass immigration HURTS locals bargaining power for income.But you are extremely on point about corpos getting way to into the business of real estate and fucking people over. I think there should be legislation against it. >O and lets not forget Nimbys who don't want shit getting built..Yeah, they're faggots too to a high degree too. There was supposed to be a nuclear power plant built in my area, but boomers bitched that it would be unsightly and fears of radiation, despite current gen. nuclear plants not having that issue, energy costs were going to be reduced, (green energy too, better than solar and wind) and more jobs brought to the area. Also the retards who are anti-nuclear energy can get fucked as well.
>>150561890Same, I'm in fucking nowhere Georgia and the cheapest rent anywhere is about 1400.
>>150561890>>150561956Hi samefag, and you are still wrong. Move outside the city and rent prices will never rise above $500.
>>150560909>my rent went up so that means it's a global rent pandemicWhat the fuck dude come on be better
>>150561803You're half-right. Lower level positions should be filled by a revolving door of younger people, but the government and propaganda and corporations happened so white people don't breed as often
>>150561278i live in a small retirement city where everyone young moves out asap, with zero career opportunities besides the hospital and plants, and the cheapest rent here is $1400 leaf bucks a month for a small cockroach and rat infested closet where crackheads and fent zombies hang out in the hallway and try to break in. "decent" apartments are $1600-$1800 a month.
>>150562123>where everyone young moves out asapAnd you stayed because...?
>>150561932Immigration (and contracting jobs to wherever labor is cheapest) are band-aids over an arterial wound. In the short term it keeps inflation down, along with prices/taxes, but that trend only holds so long, because the core problem of corpos being unregulated and allowed to form defacto monopolies/trusts isn't addressed. Until they get split up, like Bell Telephone did in the 80s, they're just going to keep demanding more for less while not raising wages to match, because what the fuck are YOU gonna do about it?Personally I think that a lot of problems would be solved if sales tax were applied to stocks and financial assets. This whole plague of trying to sift money from air started when day trading stocks became bigger than holding and collecting derivatives - why protect long-term viability when you can make stock go up NOW and sell?
>>150562153i'm physically disabled and retarded.
>>150561996>just time travel to 1995 bro
>>150561996I'm >>150561890 and I am nearly 100 miles away from the closest city. Your fantasy of it being better here is just that, a pathetic fantasy of a bygone era.
>>150562043>it doesn't affect me personally so it's not a thingnta but you're a fucking retard, holy shit. it's happening everywhere in the US.
>>150562225No excuse. Bootstraps, anon, BOOTSTRAPS
>>150562167>because what the fuck are YOU gonna do about it?Complain in the comics/cartoons thread about it where I'm sure it will make a difference
This is not where I thought this thread was gonna goI thought anons were gonna talk about things they've wasted money on or guys in their 30's talking about their wasted youth
>>150562123You also just described North Carolina
>>150562167>All we need is for Big Brother to step in and enforce socialism!!You're part of the problem Schlomo.
>>150563154>This is not where I thought this thread was gonna go>I thought anons were gonna talk about things they've wasted money on or guys in their 30's talking about their wasted youthThe two are a lot more intertwined than you realize. What's the point in buying hobbyist goods when everything outside is turning into Mogadishu-meets-New-Delhi?
>>150562167Bidenomics and the last 15 years have proven that massive government overreach through bullshit regulation is not and can never be the answer. Government needs to remain the fuck out of the free market. Let your wallet inform the companies what can and cannot work.
>>150563154We don't have money to waste anymore and it's practically set in stone that our time in general is going to be wasted so all we have left to say is "yeah things suck and it's because of billionaires"
>>150552789No.They think all fandom of cartoon/comics are fat and stupid because they are adults who likes read comics and watch PG cartoon
>>150552789They still exist but they got bullied out of most gamestores so they hang out here and on kiwi farms.
>>150554185And in the same show, Itchy and Scratchy represent all western animation when modern animation are always are humans characters talking about pronouns and genderless people
>>150556072>>150559251This guy was a pro trans lefty lmao, very silly to use his persona.
>>150563242>Let your wallet inform the companies what can and cannot work.There's two problems with that: one is that billionaires and corporations have much, much bigger wallets than you do. They can operate at a loss longer than you can avoid bankruptcy. And second is that in a lot of sectors, like real estate, they've basically been allowed to form monopolies, so you either buy from them or you can get fucked.>the last 15 years have proven that massive government overreach through bullshit regulation is not and can never be the answerThe 2008 crash was due to banks being massively deregulated, to the point of being allowed to engage in straight-up fraud because all oversight had been privatized. Taxes and regulations on corporations have been continuously whittled down since the 60s, meanwhile wages have remained stagnant and prices have continued to rise.
>>150563463>This guy was a pro trans leftyMost people are.
>>150563647You're sounding dangerously like those THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE MY PARENTS AND TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING nutjobs
>>150563463Well yeah, he is normal. You're a psychopath.
>>150563154I'm sorry anon. It's not your fault, but comic book guy is one of the base templates for the caricatures and insults of the culture war. Posting a comic book guy image is inadvertently baiting the hook for /pol/tards to come and shit things up.
>>150561400I'm not doxxing myself because it's a very very small city, but Alabama.>>150561890I don't have to prove shit to you. I've literally seen apartment complexes with banners advertising rent at $300. This is in like 2023.>the cheapest apartment in my shitty economically dead small town is 2kI was able to find cheaper single bedroom apartments than that in Florida and Florida is an expensive shithold. You're just stupid.>>150561913Cope and seethe. Your mindset is holding you back. I'm sure you can just look up apartments in Alabama or Virginia or whatever and you'll see cheap options. I didn't strike gold. There's places like this all over these regions.>>150562123>leaf bucksI see your problem.
>>150563463Yeah, but offsiters like to believe in magic, so they think it's cool.
>>150551276The American Dad take was funnier
>>150563714No they aren’t you retard. Troons are extremely unpopular and cost the Dems the election.
>>150563727The government SHOULD take care of things, anon. That's it's core function. And millionaires and up take government handouts all the time - the idea that it's "demeaning" or whatever for you to do the same is just corpos trying to get you to keep paying to clean up their messes.
>>150563714>Most people are.Go outside.
>>150563714
>>150563714Most terminally online people sure, real life bvlls know troons for what they are
Better than getting saddled with that awful wife they gave you.
>>150563751>AlabamaOpinion discarded. Next!
>>150563864You hate us because you ain't us. I've been a part of and witnessed this argument repeatedly. You hate every peaceful, low cost area you could possibly live in, yet you expect sympathy for choosing to live in crime-infested, high-cost cities. You deserve what you choose.
>>150563207Trust busting isn't socialism. It's potentially dangerous, because democratically elected officials don't usually understand anything about economics or the companies they are breaking up, and because it can be done for the wrong reasons such as eg punishing companies whose directors donated to the wrong people, but when done correctly it's just a tool to keep markets healthy and efficient. I wouldn't trust any American administration we've had since maybe Reagan to do it right.
>>150551276>Oh, I've wasted my life managing a somewhat popular comic book shop, spent my time researching and having intensive knowlegde over the various hobbies I enjoy and am in perfectly fit health up til this moment
>>150564712>perfectly fit healthHe's a fat fuck, that's like, the one thing about him you can't really put a positive spin on.
>>150551276>make enough money I don't have to work for a living>spend most of my time now with my girlfriend>find out she can't have kids>she wants sex constantlyI would be an asshole to complain, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm wasting my life at the same time. No kids, and all my dreams of creating things and developing skills are being neglected because I'm screwing around with my nympho gf for half the day every day. My life is a literal dream come true, but I can't help but feel I'm wasting it. The companionship and sex is great, but is my life going to be nothing but hedonistic pleasure with no legacy left behind?Grass is always greener on the other side I suppose.
>>150565047>my only legacy can be my kidsI've never understood people like this. And don't even try to fucking tell me you'd have MORE time for your dreams and hobbies once you have a baby to take care of. And where do you think all that disposable income is going now?
>>150563844Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday... and right now you can save £50 per person, that's £200 off for a family of four!
>>150563803Fuck that communist shit.America was founded on the principles of the free market and allowing the people to govern it by way of their spending power. The government needs to keep its fingers the fuck out of the markets.
>>150552789>Does this type of guy still exist>Wheredoyouthinkweare?
>>150552801I personally know at least five trannies called Luna and two called Lilith, why the fuck do they do this?
>>150553917Eating out everyday is wasteful learn to cook.>>150553999That specific meme however was made to distract from the fact the house your dad bought for 100k in 2012 now costs 350k. You could eat out everyday at $70 a day and it would take 10 years before you made up the difference in how much housing prices have jumped.
>>150564066Yeah but with a republican trifecta in the government, don't expect a single element of regulation to happen anywhere for a few more years at the very least.
>>150565333They're autistic nerds. And the real girls they're most likely to hang out with are the types to be theater/tumblr girls or new age-y wiccan types. So they're choosing fantasy nerd names or names that fit in with their social circle (which is often just trans girls with names like that without any actual girls).
>>15055127699% of people waste their lives. They leave no meaningful impact on the world and will be forgotten. Now that you know that, you can move on and enjoy shit.
>>150565362And even if you leave a meaningful impact on the world, you're still likely to be forgotten. Or sometimes have your legacy debated endlessly by people who can't be bothered to research what you actually did and why it was notable but still want to argue about you.
>>150565382>Future anons will debate whether you sucked cock or not because you documented giving one of your male friends a gift one time.
Leaving a legacy is nice and all, but I think being renowned while you're alive is the most valuable part. There's artists like Van Gogh that never achieved much respect until after their deaths.I think Eminem had it right when he said he didn't care about getting famous he just wanted other rappers to think his shit was cool. That kind of respect would be nice to achieve in your life and open up doors. If it endures after your death, that's even cooler, but you won't be around for it (physically anyway I don't know maybe as a ghost or in heaven).
>>150565390>future anons will promise that you sucked cock no matter how straight you areGrim.
>>150565362>>150565382>>150565583Thanks for the wisdom, you fucking dipshits.
>>150565675People now just know how much of a cunt he was.
>>150565432I'll promise that you've sucked cock right now.
>>150566137I wish.
>>150563751>Alabamadoesn't count if you're sharing a house and a bed with your sister.jokes aside, that's pretty damn cheap.how did you even find a college in a tiny town in nowhere, alabama?
>>150565333They think those kinds of names are exotic and makes them special even though Luna is a common name for little girls now. You don't really hear about troons who call themselves Mildred or Elizabeth.
>>150563751>>150563925Fucking your five cousins for rent isn't the same as living on your own.
>>150551276 legitimate question I haven't seen The Simpsons in years has Comic Book Guy and his I believe Japanese wife had any children yet?
>>150563751>Just move to an even more secluded area where the only jobs are McDonalds and the local chain grocery store bro No, I don't think I will do this to myself.
>>150565047I feel like this depends on whether or not she's a personality worth marrying. Adoption is an option.
>>150567199A lot of adopted kids are now turning on their parents and saying they were trafficked. May not be the best idea for a legacy.
>>150565359It does seem like the troons prey on autistic kids way more. Or autistic people are much much more prone to trooning out.
>>150551276Life has no meaning, its just is and itself is waste of time.And don't pretend that wageslaving isn't even bigger waste of life.
>>150567246It's the black and white thinking. Girls like girl things and boys like boy things, but they are a boy who likes girl things so they must be a girl.
>>150565362This is why kings used to start wars, they wanted to be remembered.
>>150567233Ngl I saw that happen with an IRL friend and I'm pretty sure she's just schizophrenic because it soon devolved into adrenochrome shit
>>150552789Do I have to be over 270 pounds to qualify or will my personality, poor hygiene, and interests carry me.
>>150567246>Or autistic people are much much more prone to trooning out.It's this. Awkward nerdy guys who don't fully fit in, and think taking "the pink pill" is their ticket. And to some extent it works out, you'll get a community of people praising you, it's easy to make friends with other trans people, etc. Of course you have to deal with people who hate trannies, but in your online world you're set. So you'll see a ton of people transitioning in niche online communities full of autistic nerds (like speedrunning) and then they encourage others in that community to go for it. Autistic nerds who spend a lot of time online also tend to get into weird fetishes, including ones about becoming a girl.Part of it too is just spending a long time online and getting exposed to trans groups and ideas. It's not like they're intentionally preying on people or anything, they genuinely have been convinced it's the right path for them and others. And maybe it really is in some cases, but not nearly as many as you see. Either way, estrogen hitting nerd communities like crack hit black communities is more than just a joke.
>>150561006Not at all. If your hobby is collecting stuff then go for it. Its better than just sitting on your ass and bitching about politcs online. Lifes too short to be a miserable mess all the time you know?
>>150567419>it's easy to make friends with other trans peopleyeah until you say one wrong thing then you're back to being alone except this time you have people following you making sure everyone you try to talk to knows what a bigot you are speaking from experience
>>150567419Now to play devil's advocate, you might argue that those people were awkward and didn't fit in because they had gender issues to begin with. Which then lead them to taking up typical male autistic nerd hobbies.
>>150565427Going to be honest once you get to heaven/hell whatever afterlife there may or may not be I dont think fame or legacy is going to matter much. All the earthly shit is gone, you cant use it, you cant do anything with it its gone.
>>150567456Oh yeah, that part is definitely a thing. It's like joining a religion. It's easy to hang out and do activities with them as long as you don't go against the ideas too much.
While I do think they go comically overboard with their interest, I think nerds ultimately should be allowed to be nerds. Go ahead you scrawny, pimple ridden four eyes scrawny kids. Enjoy your comic books and video games.Besides what’s considered a “cool” and “adult” thing to do for a Friday night and the weekend is actually terrible >staying up way past a reasonable bed time for some overcrowded smelly night club with terrible music to boot as if the stench didn’t make you suffer enough >all of the hot people are there with their boyfriends so there’s not even a chance for you to get some.>oh yeah and if you’re a girl with a thin frame you better have a weapon on you or something because there’s 100% going to be a creepy rapist pedophile going after your >some places will unironically charge you $50 for one cup of hand sanitizer flavored dog urine that literally destroys your brain cellsIt’s just not worth it
>>150567608The only "cool" and "adult" things that matter are>staying healthy and ideally fit>starting a family and being a good role model and parent for your kids>being financially stableAs long as you have those things nobody who matters will think you're a loser, regardless of your interests.
>>150567419I can understand people being driven nuts from isolation and joining groups they don't really belong to to find a sense of community and human contact. But nerds looking at transgenders and thinking to themselves "this is my ticket" defies my logic.The good looking ones are on pornhub or OF. The ones the nerds see in their circles look ghastly. Idk how someone could look at them and be inspired to look like that. Also, nerds are pussy-starved. Why would they pursue a change that deprives them of a working dick (either through surgery or just hormones) or a group that has predominantly gay sex?Plus transitioning is a costly thing, and I don't just mean financially. It takes time, it takes effort, and you're also investing your body. Why do they choose to transition over roiding?
>>150567924>But nerds looking at transgenders and thinking to themselves "this is my ticket" defies my logic.>Also, nerds are pussy-starvedIt makes more sense when you remember it's also a fetish thing for a lot of them (AGP types).>It takes time, it takes effort, and you're also investing your bodyWell you've found out why most of them in nerd circles look ghastly. Making a male body look convincingly female and attractive takes a lot of dedication, and most aren't willing to put in the work.
>>150567955>a lot of dedicationis that what you call perfect genetics? this is basically the same as saying some 3/10 5'5" guy can become a gigachad with hard work and dedication. the vast majority of adult men cannot look like women. if you can convincingly crossdress pre hrt and have a small frame sure whatever, but someone 5'10" with linebacker shoulders is never going to look female unless they have a face like an anime twink with zero masculine features.
>>150567054>Luna is a common name for little girls nowLunar fans are winning
>>150568012You're not wrong, but even when you do have the genetics for it you have to put in some work. And someone who doesn't have the genetics for it can still make themselves look aesthetic if they try, even if not convincingly female. Or at least more aesthetically pleasing than if they're lazy about it.
>>150568059nah life as a nonpassing tranny is not one worth living. i get it's a mental illness but if you can't pass then just don't troon out.
>>150568088I also wouldn't recommend it, just stating the obvious that you'll look much worse if you don't try. There are some guys who can just put on makeup and look female, but even they have to learn proper makeup and would look better with proper exercise.
