4chan is my fort bastiani
>>25341793same
that implies that there's anywhere left to go or anything left to do when ai is decimating the employment market, we will all soon become neets
>>25341793The Chan is not the problem. And it is not the fort.The problem is that (You) are wandering the desert or the empty snowy mountains of your directionless life.At lest Drogo's delusion was anchored in the real world and was at least possible.Once you decide what you really want, the gates are open and you need no approval to leave from any military governor.
Why would I want to leave 4chan? I met my wife on here.
>>25341793Ah, if only there were no need for forts and protections against informatic exploitation. Freedom of speech rests in obscurity of communication. Such thoughts as abandonment are for the paranoids or those who are unable to accept risk and start The Conversation once and for all. The digital is nothing compared to the real. So what if they beat off to anime feet? I'm on the /lit/ board.
>>25341793This board memed me into reading that book. Wouldn't be the first time /lit/ made a good recommendation. What are we doing with our lives, anons? We're all going to die and just before we die we'll all wish for more time
>>25345275You accept death without fear, like Drogo.
I love you guys, I really do. Not even for a moment I pretended that I wanted to get out of here.After all these years 4chan is in the only thing that always stays with me.All anons are my brothers, you are the only reason I have for living.This is my home, our home.
>>25345711With how insane and terrible the world has become, this site is a refuge. As much as we all joke "you're here forever" I honestly don't see my life being any better without 4chan. Social media has always struck me as a very feminine thing. Not that I'm some manly man but it seems to turn everyone into 12 year old girls. Thanks for the laughs, fellas.
>>25341793I’m currently reading this book.I’d say my current job is my Fort Bastiani.Been there for 12 years now, very safe (some would even call it “comfy” if it was part-time). Managed to save some money, albeit in exchange for my “best years”.All the while I’ve been training to become an illustrator and now life presents me with the opportunity to try, to give it my best shot.It would be scary enough some years ago, but now with AI I wonder how stupid I sound if I say I’ll leave my safe job for what sounds like a pipe dream.In the meantime, my days keep getting consumed...
>>25343295wife or wife*?
>>25345803You and a million other men like you.If someone has a full time illustrator position, that's one thing.But if you only got some commissions - that sounds like not worth quitting your job. You can work it on the side.That's what I can say from the few details here.
>>25341793The only Bastiani I know is a troon pornstar I used to beat off to when I was a porn addict.
>>25347437>If someone has a full time illustrator position, that's one thing.Not a full-time position, more like what we would call “a big break.” Not to give too much away, but I’m about to have work published by a major company, after some years of sporadic gigs.As it stands, I could either:a) quit, go live with the gf who works, and leverage the momentum.b) stay, have the (long-distance) relationship possibly degrade, and try to make it happen with limited time (weekends).Sounds like a practical dilemma, but I keep thinking in terms of "faith", "courage", "regret"...
>>25341793I watched the movie, it was kind of boring but cool to look at, good movie
