>>521019753>How do you cope with having to participate in a system you know is actively hostile to you?
Man I'm almost 38. Been living my entire life in survival mode.No career, no real prospects. Jumped from whatever is available to whatever is available.I burned out years ago and the only reason I haven't gone and suicide bombed some politicians is to spite my parents who would be absolutely ecstatic at the thought of outliving both their children. I don't mean that in an ironic manner either, they would quite literally be happy about it.
>>521019753start your own company and also you sound like an old coward
>>521019753I'm in a similar situation, my solace was moving to a much smaller company.
My workplace has a blog where these virtue signalling morons share their odious opinions instead of doing actual work. Sometimes it's a struggle stopping myself responding to some of the bullshit, which would be career suicide. But at least I work from home and don't have to suffer the daily presence of these she/her cretins.
>>521019753I'm waiting for my money to run out and then I'll just end it. I would rather die than wageslave again. Not doing it.
>>521019753>How do you cope with having to participate in a system you know is actively hostile to you?never have, never will
>>521020477I had a few weeks of downtime at my job, so I decided to take some interactive courses the company offers. There were so many attention-seeking women in those courses that talked about so much unrelated bullshit I ultimately found it a waste of time. I thought to myself "Do these idiots have any actual work they ever do?"

>>521019753I cashed out and am organizing all my stuff right now. The plan is to get a house with a detached garage to work on power sports toys and firearms.Computers burned me the fuck out it's a never ending rabbit hole but the money was good.

>>521019753I'm 37 working in real estate and my life has been getting better every year since COVID. I officially have more money than I know what to do with. We were buying a new car last month and I realized I was looking at every spec except the price because it literally doesn't matter to me. I'm building a huge house on the rocky west coast, 40s are gonna be amazing once I send the kids off to ivy league school in America. I'm gonna yacht, fish, hunt, etc all while continuing to earn from WFH and a few house shows a month. Life's good!
>>521019753Import third world, become third world. Simple as. Also why did you consider those who care to sacrifice for politics losers?

I still owe $80,000 on the $20,000 student loans I borrowed, because I haven't had a call-back on my resume. Ever. My entire adult life as a college educated tech has been begging.

>>521020071Unironically Jordan Peterson is right. Best thing you can do is clean your room. One thing at a time improve things. Dont have to go crazy but you also cant keep going down rabbit holes and putting it off forever. (if your life is in perfect order disregard all of this as you probably already know) But for many the idea of just starting on one small project and watching your life get better as each is completed or improved can really set change for the better in motion.

I'm learning a lot, getting to spend time with my family, getting to spend a lot of time in nature. Looking forward to deer-rifle. Life got better when I moved back home. Half my pay going to living alone in a suicide box of a 4 story commie block was causing me to seek escapist behaviors, like alcohol, weed, and vidya addiction. Moving back home was the single best move I've made.
>>521020071>spite themThey wouldn't care
Im 34, I built a pretty decent waste removal business. I had to get out of the workforce in 2020 during covid, even blue collar went pozzed as fuck. I sold my business and got about 2.5 m cdn. House is fully paid off moved my parents into my house built another wing for them to live in and they payin lot of the bills. They are old in their 80s so I would have had to put them in a retirement centre anyways. hemorrhaging cash like a motherfucker regardless. IDK what my next move is but certainly can't even retire with 2 + m's , a full pension + my mom gets like 50k a year. I still have lots of savings but I need revenue to keep this up. I can't stand society. I hate everyone. I would consider my self a 'right winger' but ive always only spoiled my ballot and never voted for a party. I think most people are retarded and don't understand salvation will only come from total revolt and removal of the political banker and attorney class ( yep its the jews). I am seriously suprised at the apathy of fellow Man. It is of my highest opinion we should have mutually worldwide killed the usurpers decades ago. It remains to be seen how docile the populace world wide really is. Will the people allow themselves to be enslaved world wide? they are in the process at this very moment of re writing history to brainwash the populace after us to accept total enslavement and serfdom. Already our young zoom zooms accept the first ChatGPT answer that it spits out as God given truth, white the real History Books are burned and erased.
>>521019753you answered your own question. move far away from society that has internet access, grocery/hardware store within 10 min of driving
I'm about to retire at 50 with 2.5 million in assets not including the house since I plan to die in it. How are you making 250-300k a year and managed to not be retired at 50? I'm a fucking electrician ffs... You make probably twice what I make.
>>521023533Maybe you should just sell it all and move somewhere stable that hasnt been infested with all that money sucking. If not I would seek investment/money management help. There are ridiculous amounts of loopholes, tax tricks, and plenty of investments. Maybe you can buy stable dividend stocks without selling the house etc by getting a loan through its value? I would start asking around so long as you arnt one to fall into bad advice etc.

>>521019753I'm in the same profession, but been doing it for 15 years. If you were actually paying attention to what America has become, you'd have known that getting as much money as possible as quickly as possible is the name of the name. You fucked yourself by not pursuing the faang money, dumbass. But gee I hope the pride you took in your wage slave positions can pay for ACA insurance without premiums because Republicans hate working class Americans.Meanwhile, I took the faang money, realized it was all bullshit and can retire whenever I want...wherever I want.
>>521024072Shalom.
>>521019753I make twice as much as I used to 5 years ago and I'm somehow worse off financiallyI'm downsizing, but the level of dogshit things have gotten to is unbearable. My apartment costs almost four times as much as it used to and now I literally live in someone else's basement because it's the only way to get out from under rent hyperinflation. It doesn't help that my car got stolen and I had to buy another one, what used to be new car prices for a used car.

Im not saying it's impossible, but its infinitely harder than even 30 years ago, especially harder than 50 or 100 years ago.

Survey a history of hardware and software. *Know* how a modern digital computer works at the high level, don't bog in chip standards etc. How do you tell a machine to do something arguably useful. Translate what you want to the hardware and then output. Once at high level survey, gently gravitate to a Stallman (primer).

Market your knowledge base and your foot is in a crack and you can ascend. Still doabke in the U.S.
>>521024282>da joosOh, you're definitely a jew, then. You can't take your wealth with you to the grave, and even if you pass it on to children/other family, it will be worthless in a few years anyways thanks to your retarded and greedy brethren crashing and burning everything to the ground. I thought you people were supposed to be smart, but instead you're a bunch of emotional children with a chip on your shoulder, no different than blacks and indians.
>>521027793Its an interesting time with soul searching. Finnish Game industry is 99.9% mobile, so when that ended its clear every studio needs to (and would have needed to) go to PC. But surprise surprise, PC has higher standards of quality and is not as open to predatory monetization.Its quite fucked up to be honest. And we got infiltrated by far-left ideology actors who used nepotism (through HR positions) to hire more ideological hires - same as everywhere in the west. Game Industry is the biggest progressive industry right after movies.
>>521027962>Finnish Game industry is 99.9% mobileI still can't comprehend why there are no actual good mobile games other than PUBG. Not one. There isn't a single good one. They're 100% shovelware, like something out of Facebook from 2012. I just don't get it. We live in an era where phones can run games that used to require consoles and still we get this shit. I think it's because they cater to the cattle and that's all they want.
odds dropping. so are you guys really saying that the 4 republicans tanked this after the democrats caved?
>>521028074There are (a tiny amount), either they are multiplatform - or they are something special tailored to mobile.However, there is so few mobile games without predatory monetization that it rounds down to 0%Imagine around 2000 people in Finland working to make that toxic slop and probably aroun 0.1% of them play mobile games actively themselves. Cuckoldry at its finest. (And I did too)
>>521019753>white man>did nothing>complain when bad people did something You and the majority of white men. The world doesn't just default to keeping things nice for you, you have to make sure it happens.
>>521019753If I didn't have a wife and kid, I'd be a very dangerous man to the corrupting evil I know any good man perceives in this world. As it is, I've got and am keeping my family as far away from civilization as possible. Shit is failing, in real time, in front of our every eyes, and wherever this entire shitshow ends, it's ending soon. Get out of the cities, and be prepared to stay away from everything for a year.In a part of the world where that's normal.
>>521027532I understand what your saying and agree, but even for something like a business loan, you need to show a willingness to meet guidelines and regulations even if you intend not to. There's preliminary summaries and plan outlines and all this paperwork and bullshit just to get some jew to sign off on your business loan. But yeah just pull a few hundred thousand out of your ass and do it without a loan, is what you'll probably say.
>>521028076What a fantastic time to found a company! You don't need your own money, convince others (hello Theranos, lookin' at you Holmes). They are going to bend you over backwards and steal from you. Keep this in mind as you are playing along with them. Learn everything you can and build your networks. Eventually you gail upwards. Start tonight. Relax at early failures, it doesn't matter when young provided you never stop. You can literally be worth solid 100mm by 40, maybe not, maybe so.
>>521021018You sound angry.Are you going to tell one of us to kill someone, or are you going to tell us to kill ourselves?So hard to tell which way the demotivational speaker is going to go here these days.Things are never so bad they can't get worse for the parasites that feed off this absolute misery of a time.

Trump should have been using the last of our available credit to put some guts back into the economy with some real jobs. This can easily be done through government mandated infrastructure development and/or reindustrialization.

I ran a small biz for 24 years, and had enough to where I sold it, go enough to live on for 20 years, and left society. These have been the best 4 years of my life not having to care, eventually I’ll start something new, but not until the right inspiration hits. I won’t find it in the working world being someone else’s goyslave.Best of luck, OP.

>>521028862Im not talking about starting a complex business to make millions. Im talking about simple businesses.>>521029190Cheating the system requires understanding the system. You need to understand how to play their game in order to beat it. That's fine for people like you or I who can understand their legalese bullshit regulations and guidelines, but not everyone can decipher that bullshit. The system is geared towards big business who can hire legal and accounting teams to deal with all this bullshit red tape. That's all I'm saying.
>>521029606>understand their legalese bullshit regulations and guidelinesI assume it's similar downundah, but over here government-backed loan programs are literally dumbed down for niggers and spics, they even have people who will help you fill out the paperwork. Just pretend to be a troon if you're white. It really is easier than people think, is all I'm saying.
>>521029067We'll see, we'll see.They're still talking about getting a whole bunch of backwood rednecks like me to hand in our AR's, one would assume digital ID would happen after that and they've put it off, what, 5 years already now?Lots of things are going to happen soon, but I don't think DID is going to be one of them, not yet.
>>521029190Yeah, I'm going to wait for picrel.We've passed the weak men creating hard times part of the cycle. You want to be a nigger? Even the niggers will lynch you for being an inhuman piece of garbage. Good luck with that. Which one is next?
>>521029908Thing is people like you are far and inbetween in this fuckhole, they will get it rolling as "voluntary" to get as many slack jaws on board as possible without having to actually enforce anything, so you are partially correct in that it won't be a full on thing right away, there will be a "grace period"
>>521021739>Real estate>>Scam business
>>521019753If you gonna kys please do us a favor and kill some of the managers "concerned about performance". The more you get the better. I want to see you get a 10000:1 KD ratio at least.
>>521029830It's probably much worse here, so understand that is why I probably have this mindset. But the point stands that funding and starting a business was easier across the whole west 30 or 50 years ago than now. That's the gist of what im saying. For instance I am trained as a mechanic, in order to start a business as one. There's a list as long as my arm relating to proper sorting and disposal of liquid wastes, insurance policies, local/state/federal guidelines and regulations that vary. It varies a lot from business to business, and as I initially said, it's not impossible, but its geared towards larger businesses that can afford to just hand wave all this away with teams dedicated to compliance.
>>521019753hey man, 38yo code monkey here. i just do consulting and it's working out ok, bu tyou have to be picky. i agree with everything you say, except i don't think i thas to do with your age. i have a friend who is 23 (got to know him when i hired him 3 years back, he now works at some game dev). they fired almost everyone (senior devs) and replaced them with younger people and ai. it turned to shit and the ceo got fired one year later and they're trying to rehire.everything sucks today, it's like a random, chaotic soup, you can get hit no matter what. also fucking relate to you saying that shit re. politics. i used to say out of it, but now i have to name vars considering whether it's politically correct for a var to have its name start with N otherwise risk getting shunned by society for rest of life. fuck this shit man, i want offf this ride.
>>521030064Maybe. But there's a divide in this country right now where the least poo part of the county would be perfectly fine watching the most poo parts of the country go up in radioactive fire. The east starts imposing even more retarded ideas on the prairies, that competency crisis, 9 meals to anarchy thing could get very real, very fast. The truckers didn't go anywhere. And now they know the evil the enemy they're dealing with is capable of, with the cops and with the press.They know fighting fair is a fools errand that will only destroy their lives.And they can absolutely bring this country to its knees overnight.We'll see.
>>521030111Such a thing would be more of a spark than any CEO getting gunned down. Everyone has always hated middle management. But especially now, when it's filling up with poos.

>>521021986THIS. Basically you have a core of a couple of excellent white dudes running the whole show - and I mean the WHOLE show thanks to the parento principle. Rest of the faggots in the office are DEI window dressing: management bros, HR roasties for management to dick down, sales people to basically shill the product, and some legal Jews just in case they get sued. Then of course you have some cheap blue collar types moving physical shit around for you. If you want to tank a company - find all the people who produce REAL value and get them to leave with you. Whole thing will topple and they will go tits up in no time. Especially when some shit breaks and the Indians they hire to replace you can't fix it. ACCELERATE THE COLLAPSE.
Take the Diogenes pill. Homlessness will soon be the new form of rebellion and a symbol of freedom. No more bills, no more "waah my car broke", no more answeing to some faggot boss who hold your livelyhood hostage, work only to eat, pure freedom.
>>521021896Those people are in a hotel. Why the fuck do they need to be running around in a suit? Also you should know by now with all the women screaming at you that they can wear ANYTHING they want, including no clothes, that you shouldn't comment on other people's clothes in the modern era.

>>521023533>It remains to be seen how docile the populace world wide really isGreat Depression taught us people would rather starve to death than revolt against the Jews. They literally took Jew-run WW2 in relief that they'd be fed. And that was back when being a Jew-hater wouldn't get you de-personed like now. Not to mention any revolt against the gov't has been immediately put down. BLM was NOT a revolt by the way, that was Jew sponsored terrorism, so the gov't got out of the way. It has to FULLY collapse for people to do anything. Everyone post-civil war are weak men, we need real collapse to generate strong men who can fix shit. Hopefully a few smart /pol/tards will survive to lead the remnants into TKD and TND, but South Africa really shows that post-Jews you become a nigger gang hellhole.

>>521030224Just initial all the boxes, sign the forms, staple the various government forms to the wall, take your lecture or inspection from Shaniqua, and then make sure you don't pour the motor oil down the street drain (at least not in broad daylight) and you'll be good.When I opened my business, the landlord required that I have a business license and the business licensing department required that I already have a signed lease. Catch 22. So I signed the lease and started doing business on day one without a license, eventually got the license about 2 months later. It's almost a year now and I'm still waiting for the fire and safety inspection that will probably never come, which was technically also a prerequisite for doing business. It's all fake and gay, all they want is their check. The fear of the unknown is what gets you. But I worked for kikes for years and I learned a lot from them, one of those things is that it's always better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Think like a kike, m8. How do you think they ended up owning everything?
>>521024302Facku you mid sussy baka broccoli head nigga. Where are we supposed to find like-minded people? you wouldn't even know shit if we weren't out there in the trenches building the internet in the first place. We underestimated the enemy, and overestimated the effects knowledge would have upon the populace. And now we're here bouncing off of you and you're shitting on us. I'd like to rip your bottom jaw off and watch your tongue wag like a dog while I laugh and throw your jaw like a boomerang
>Has anyone else here just hit the wall?Not to that extent, because I haven't had to work around 'people' for 15+ years (sole trader tradie)... However, being in a similar generational demographic, I'm starting to realise that the shit will not get better -- housing prices will never drop; inflation will never go down; turdie effluent flows will never abate; median intellect will never increase; the race to the bottom will never cease... That whether its in warfare, migration, or whatever, the "Zerg rush" tactic is unbeatable; and when you're a part of a subset that is wired to be principled and, therefore, wants to be in a biome that enshrines principles, you're as good as fucked.

psa: all of your problems could be solved by killing a jew and living in their mansion off the infinite supply of gibs stipened onto the cards they had in their walletim sorry a christcuck sold our country out, but we are in a survival of the fittest scenario now, this country's cooked. so whats your plan? consider the following:- picrelnow imagine how many bullets you are going to need to get rid of 250 million mexicans and africans. its a simply untenable scenario without a literal army behind you. how many armies on the planet do you or anyone whose not loyal to jews control? pretty much zero.so whats the next option? build an army? see picrel again. every form of mass communication is compromised. its so bad that jewish platforms are promoting anti-semitism, just to ensure you dont find another way.so what does that leave? word of mouth, door to door stuff. now consider the NPC Question. it aint happening. that leaves the final solution, the most natural solution, which is indiscriminate chaos, or what they call today "terrorism". small groups taking out the infrastructure like dams, railroads, ports, shipyards. this is at best a temporary solution, because any civil war scenario will just result in a global coalition of zog armies to clean up the scraps.so then how do you solve this? well, the ideal way is to jew the jews, to infiltrate jewry itself and lean into it. push them to sacrifice that red heiffer so they can all come to the realization there was never any divine component and it was used merely a get out of jail free card to behave in subversive and anti-civilizational manners. how many great civilizations due to their internal sabotage? and what will be the fate of the jewish civilization?>when jews have no one left to jew, who are jews gonna jew?jews, obviously. so its time to start building your fiefdom. your wealth. and you can start right now by following the psa at the beginning of this post.

>>521019753Same, ~10 years younger though.I am planning to rope in a couple weeks.Not kidding.Was working homeless from 15-25.In my 20s I was working in restaurants/painting/wage slavery, going to school, and learned to program to do math. Turned out, I'm really good at math.I worked hard, American Dream, proved everyone who ever doubted me wrong, felt fucking GREAT.Ended up in web dev, adtech, startups, then healthcare (which is equally a scam, holy shit healthcare tech is a scam)Was told that I wasn't senior material cuz I didn't know "X" ", so I learned "X" for a decade.Said no to management, same reason.Now I'm working on bootkit counter-measures, cuz why not.41 now with no degree, just 10 years of experience and a solid list of references who will tell you I'm the smartest person they've ever met, have old-fashioned work ethic, and "actually understand concepts behind buzzwords". I just love building shit that works, it's the dopamine.Saved. took two years off to cure burnout. Inflation, rent hike. Out of money. Can't even get an callback. Won't go back to "servus" industry, would rather die.Hoping someone will say something to talk me out of it, but all the time I spent working and studying distanced me from family + friends.Problem is, I worked my ass off, for 15 years, two jobs core, to catch up with kids who had the family hand-up, and everytime I get there, they move the goalposts on me.Why try until the fucking goalposts are secured, is how I see it.Seems what people say is political, is rich people refusing to ever take a fucking L or just theft/fraud, with 2-3 layers of abstraction/misdirection.So I think I'm out unless something dramatic happens. I don't think it's possible for me to wage slave again and I won't be put outside.So I'm selling what I can sell to keep afloat, but when they post the eviction notice, I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna "pill me up". I just hope the county ME doesn't let my cat out before my ex can take her.

>>521019753>50+I get this, I’m an MCSE who worked for a small business as the “computer guy” who ran the activity directory infrastructure, web mastering and hosting multiple sales websites, database management, and all information technology for the entire in-house and outside sales teams.As we expanded, we attempted to hire a few assistants to ease the increasing burdens on my time, but after 2 different jeets that couldn’t handle touching a database without fucking something up and then attempting to shift the blame, I resolved to find a better use of my time than jeet wrangler.Fired them both and found a decent company to handle our hosting and websites out of house.I was happy and well compensated there for over 20 years, but the company got sold out to a bigger corporation who then wanted me to commute to Delaware and work on a team of incompetent jeets for half my pay…I noped the fuck out, but found that the job market was completely jeeted in the entire sector.After I was offered a paltry $17/hour to wrangle a team of $15/hr h1b jeets as (((team lead))) I decided to take a job with a local, 90% White Suburban school district in the maintenance/facilities department.Some nights it’s just basic janitorial cleaning, others fixing broken and burned out light fixtures, some nights changing drop ceiling panels, big projects in the summertime like changing doors and other construction.It’s a thousand times less stressful, but more physical labor. It also carries a benefits package that is worth $52k a year and a full state pension after 10 years of service.Don’t be afraid to walk away from the industry that doesn’t value you and your skills, if you have transferable skills, sometimes transferring them is the best answer.
I'm almost 28 and I work a local government job that makes me roughly 58k But that doesn't mean shit when the area I live in is very expensive, and not it's not California or a blue state
>>521019753>>been a code monkey for 25+ yearsMy condolences. >want to just say "fuck it," take my savings, and go live in a smaller town, maybe travel to see what's left of the real world before it's all a StarbucksI don't think that will happen. I think things will collapse really badly this decade. It will take a few decades for it to play out. It will take at least a few centuries for things to recover.
>>521019753because the social contract been broken there is no point in upholding the system, even if you are on upper end well earning and secure
>>521037204>$17/hour to wrangle a team of $15/hr h1b jeets asyou are shitting right? warehouses pay more for no-skill labor these days
>After I was offered a paltry $17/hour to wrangle a team of $15/hr h1b jeets as (((team lead))) I decided to take a job with a local, 90% White Suburban school district in the maintenance/facilities department.I was only able to find a job "programming" political surveys after sending out 600 applications. The entire job market has been hollowed out and outsourced. They outsourced that entire team to India earlier this year. I left that company before the team got laid off. The only thing left are the blue haired management jobs. >It’s a thousand times less stressful, but more physical labor. It also carries a benefits package that is worth $52k a year and a full state pension after 10 years of service.A guy I worked with has a master's in CS and is working at a factory now. On the plus side it's unionized.
Gen X fags try to talk politics but just end up humble bragging about how much they suffer with their six figure salaries.Not quite as narcissistic as Boomers but by god do they try.

>>521036587feels like anyone in FAANG would have 10 mil by 50, but I dunno
>>521038160That’s what I learned about GenX as well. They’re the poser generation. They’re wannabe boomers, but are somehow even worse than boomers because they don’t even have the bragging rights to be that much of a piece of shit. It’s literally like they just sell their soul to shill for boomers
If I was in OP's position I'd just milk the paychecks, invest and save what I got, and then cash out as soon as possible to either flee the country or go live in some small town/rural area in the USA and live somewhat within your means.
juicy thread!! this is why i come here everyday us low iq wagies find all this hilarious we suffering together ma niggas till the casket drop
>>521038560Bussin post
>>521019753Yeah. My story is basically the same as yours. I am about 5 years younger. I couldn't take it anymore and just... quit. About two years ago. Am not sure what I am doing next. Have about two more years before I have to start worrying about mortgage payments. My retirement is of course fucked. I am not sure I can do it anymore.
>>521028484>but even for something like a business loan,This thread is about software developers, bro. Low overhead, high margins. It's not that complex. This is why I said I can't comprehend why some devs are so smart yet so lacking in autonomy and conscientiousness. You already lerned2code, how about you use it instead of sucking Mr. Noseberg off. Offload the bitch work to LLMs and make it happen

>>521038086> you are shitting right? warehouses pay more for no-skill labor these daysNope, I laughed in the recruiter’s face and told him I could make more than that slinging hoagies at a fucking Wawa.This is with over 20 years experience, a degree in electronics, and MCSE, MCSA and MCP certifications… they wanted someone with the actual skills to chase down the fuckups of a team of 20+ jeets, but think that only is worth $2 more an hour than the rate they are paying their h1b slaves.Fuck ‘em, I told my friend who day trades to watch their stock and short the shit out of them…. Because they are going to crash and burn with that shitshow

>>521035681>forgets after 5 years on the jobYou need to brush up on every single thing you learned in undergrad if you want to interview for another job. Especially things like linked lists. Programming interviews are more humiliating than that Monty Python skit. They will ask a guy that spent 15 years as an architect the most inane shit from a data structures and algorithms course. Most of the time the people interviewing you can't pass their own interviews (pic related).>oy vey here's this question write the code for it in 15mins>oy vey all you had to do was use the Bellman-Ford/Kruskal/Dijkstra algorithm to get the optimal solution>guess you don't have what it takes to work at shitty blockchain startup that's almost out of money and will "pay" you in equity in 2 yearshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozsuci5pIsoWorking at these startups is humiliating too because you know the idea is bullshit but the founder is high off his ass and thinks they're a genius.>>521039050Reposted it. sorry anon.

>>521039104>I never understood why anyone passed the age of 40 is even on this site.haha, for the memes, and because its anonymous, and the racism and misogyny, cant really talk about those anywhere else
>>521019753Honestly bro, I am in exactly your shoes except worse, because of the male/female dating hysterias that we have now. Cant talk to a hot chick or her friend might report you. Cant talk to a younger chick because the courts will spin a reason up to come after you. For a young guy like myself it feels like the walls are closing in on me, and I don’t even have a fucking career or an education. Or any skills.If there is a way you can move out of the West, and keep your career or still make decent money, DO IT. Life is too fucking short to waste it all here living in a hovel. I unironically think it shortens your lifespan the longer you remain here.What would you rather have:>happy>decent wealth>dont have enough to pay for healthcare to unnaturally prolong your life>die after having at least a Few years of having a happy life worth livingOr>be miserable>freaked out>keep more wealth>need medical treatment sooner>be miserable and artificially kept alive>probably die younger>no happy years ever>your life was hell>now you are in hell>foreverI mean which seems more fucking appealing. If I were you I would have left 10 years ago at 40.
>>521021739The natives are gonna take your house and your property. I'd laugh at you, but I'm in the same fucking boat.
>>521038120> I was only able to find a job "programming" political surveys after sending out 600 applications. Yeah, I was happy to be getting an actual interview in the field at that point, but all talk of compensation kept returning to the word (((competitive))) until the hiring manager and recruiter were ready to hire me, and then the $17/hour came out of their mouths.The IT market is so fucked, I feel sorry for all the kids who are getting out of university today and won’t even get a fair shot at a decent job until the (((outsourcing))) crashes out everything and the (((money men))) realize that it’s not just another line item expense that needs to be reduced to third world levels.

>>521039104I don't understand why modern teenagers and 20-somethings think they're literal children and one day they'll "grow up" and they'll suddenly want to stop communicating with people in an open forum. I was a teenager once but I never thought I was surrounded by "kids like me" on the Internet. What is it about the modern 'net that makes you guys think it's a giant kiddie table?
>>521039664Sure, what I'm saying is at some point you grow up and move on...

>>521040014Sorry I hurt your feelings. I'm not trying to gatekeep this site from old people like you. I'm simply stating that I'm surprised that at the age of 40, you don't have family, work, friends and a real life. Before you tell me that you only visit this site when your taking a shit, you and I both know its not true. Older people spend an obscene amount of time here like everyone else, except you would think they have more going on in their lives. I've seen old people have hour long arguments with me on here and I'm just thinking about how this old fuck doesn't have anything better to do. This site is a joke if you're really here for "mature discussion". Plenty of other sites and forums catered to that. It seems as though the older individuals here just can't seem to grow up.
>>521040237Had to search that up. Being into anime passed the age of 30 is next level man child shit. If you're pushing 40 and still into cartoons, there really isn't much left to say....
>>521040383>I'm simply stating that I'm surprised that at the age of 40, you don't have family, work, friends and a real lifeOk and as a almost 28 year old, there isn't much to do because everything costs a lot of money to get into or to consistently doI'd rather just go shoot guns every weekend but ammo is expensive, and I would need to have a consistent supply of cleaning equipment.And of course a new gun every few months
>>521040458>Being into anime passed the age of 30 is next level man child shit.Say it to my face faggot, I'd knock your fucking jaw offSome weebs know how to throw a punch and have muscle and guns you know?
>>521039104you just have to look at the alternatives to understand why
>>521040501I'm trembling behind the keyboard, seriously...
>>521040383>except you would think they have more going on in their lives.the reality is the older you get, the less you have going on, the less friends, the less activities, the less physical strength and stamina to engage in activities, and by then traveling loses lots of its appeal also, then if you pack on the pounds into serious obesity the horizons narrow drastically to a pinhole size of options, wizardry can be an interesting lifelong hobby that doesnt take much effort, spelunking the innerspace
>>521020071Same.I do sort of have a career though (fell out of it at 27, got back in at 34, but skilled enough that gap didn't kill me, just my resume). Point is I have hardly any savings, those years gaps in my career were a lot of barely making it by in blue collar random jobs.Similar sounding parental situation.What's helping me is cutting off my parents. There's a very strong inverse correlation of how well I'm doing financially, socially, and emotionally and how much contact I have with them. I didn't want to accept it for a long time, but it eventually became clear to me they want to be beat me down. Tyrannical fathers and devouring mothers are real, and I have both. This anon is right: >>521022388 In fact, the parental situation I'm describing is one of the topics he talked about back in the day, and it's a prerequisite to getting on with your life to be entirely independent of your parents. Some parents push their kids to that, but some don't want their kids to be.If that's your situation, you have to recognize it and work towards independence, even if it means cutting them off.
>>521040650And you're hiding behind a monitor, bitch.Don't throw a stone in a glass house.>>521040673I hope that when I get old I'll have those acres of land I want and I'll just dedicate a part of my older years to making a nice little garden or something, the other parts being just playing games I like or watching anime I like or reading manga I like
>>521038160>>521038356I call it "boomer adjacent " because there are plenty of millenials with the same mindset - act like Jews and think they're clever for it
>>521040461Being 28 is much different than being 40. When those 40yr olds were 28, the year was 2013. A time where it was much easier to afford a home, jobs were plenty and women weren't totally lost. Those 40 year olds SHOULD have a life beyond using the computer for "le epic meme" and shitposting.
>>521038320Normal people clothes, it's not hard to do if you aren't a mental toddler who hasn't had a minute of spiritual growth since they were in diapers. Shit pisses me the fuck off, I'm tired of being surrounded by little baby men.
>>521040760>And you're hiding behind a monitor, bitch.>Don't throw a stone in a glass house.Seeing how offended you got over me rightly calling you a manchild for enjoying cartoons shows me everything I need to know about you lol.
>>521040785Alright, fair point.But if they have all that or most of that then I dont see whats the issue coming here in their spare time.Speaking of which I have work tomorrow and my retarded ass should be at bed.>>521040826>Normal people clothes,You gonna post an example or are you going to ramble on like a woman in her period?
>>521040826>I'm tired of being surrounded by little baby men.male role models are few and far between, a babyman is in the white house ffs
>>521040869Buddy I work a full time job and I am just trying to get my life togetherLet me enjoy my shit in peace, you fucktard.I bet you watch sportsball, imagine thinking some millionaire player represents you or your town and cares about you at all
>>521038692this broco gets it! we out here g we aint goin no where! live it up till the end OP drink it up smoke it up chop it up pop them mollys go wild mah boy
>>521040882>But if they have all that or most of that then I dont see whats the issue coming here in their spare time.Because, as I mentioned earlier, they aren't here for a moment before bed or while on the shitter. Too many times have I engaged with old mf's on here for hours (the same posters) and whenever I asked them why they spent an hour or two arguing with some teen online, they shut down.
>>521040952If it didn't matter or offend you, you wouldn't even need to reply to me. Its obvious I triggered some belief inside you where even you questioned at one point if you were spending too much time here.
>>521041082I'm fucking annoyed of people bitching about anime and manga and calling it kids shit when it's really not.Does this look like kid shit to you?
>>521040383> except you would think they have more going on in their lives.I’ve been here since moot opened the place, you roodypoo candyass newfag.When rcade shut down rotten, and fark went full libshit plebbit lite, this place was the last bastion of occasional lucid discussion, even if it was pissing in an ocean of piss.As to more going on, yeah, I don’t post from work anymore, but my woman just went to bed and I’ll join her in a bit, but /pol/ is always worth a few browser tabs to talk shit and tell the truths that get you Bamhammered elsewhere.You need to actually try to fuck up here or use your mad h4xor5 skills to piss off a tranny or street shitting janny to get them to b& u hard.
>>521041164Yes anon, that looks like a child to me...
>>521041169Never mind that the other boards are also really great places to discuss your favorite hobbies or get the latest news/chapters/etc./a/ for example is the place where I read the newest chapters of manga I like or know what's going on with them>>521041319Ok nobody asked, you gonna do something about the pedos in your government, or the ones they are importing? No? Ok, I will also do nothing too
>>521040383I'm a married wagecuck and I still post here. >"mature discussion">Plenty of other sites and forums catered to that.There aren't plenty of other sites. That ended around 10-15 years ago. The rest of the internet has been thoroughly purged of that. For example this was one of the only places on the Internet I could warn people not to get the covid vaccine. The forums I used to post/troll are all gone. The only thing left are places like leddit where they shadowban you if you say anything controversial. For example, LinkedIn is one of the biggest jokes on the internet. Spend a few minutes reading posts by business leaders on there and you'll realize why the entire civilization is circling down the drain.>>521039618>>521038954I have a decent amount of cash (not enough to retire or anything) and plan to take a short position on some of these tech companies in the next few months. It will be fun to get a front row seat watching some of these companies tank. I have a feeling we're going to see an Enron tier collapse of at least one of the large tech companies. I can't think of a group of people that deserve it more than these H1B importing, panopticon surveillance state building, digital currency/digital ID money-changing faggot retards. I trust the average investment banker more than the average tech manager/executive. Even that OpenAI shit is just shitting up the internet with useless spam. That Myspace Tom guy realized where shit was headed and sold his company instead of dealing with the shit pile the internet would inevitably turn into.

>>521041169Jesus man, I get it now. Whenever I tell my gen A nephews about the good ol limewire days, they look at me just like how I look at you, when you began listing off sites you visited back in the day. I'm going to stop doing that. As far as having discussions and shit, there are MANY sites/forums dedicated to that but I guess you just want to say nigger and shitpost like an edgy teen without getting banned from them? Alright then.

>>521040383reread my post and also >>521040673it's not about feelings it's just weird to me that so many newfags betray this feeling they have that they're literal children and expect to be surrounded by childrenwhen I started using the internet around 1998, there were already old nerdy dudes on usenet and shit... I never thought it was a children's playground, and I can't understand why you do.
>>521019753>used to think worrying about politics was for losersThat was the problem.
>>521041454Buddy I normally wear chino pants, a white dress shirt, and a fucking tie with an undershirt for the work week, and on weekends, I'll usually wear jeans or whatever chinos I didn't wear for that work week.I also normally wear dress shoes on the week and I'll wear sneakers on days that my work allows it.Post clothes or shut the fuck up you fucking nagging faggot.Are you a woman? Because you sure nag like one
>>521041493If being human means I'm a mutt golem like you, then I am perfectly fine not being considered "human" lol.
>>521041494>there are MANY sites/forums dedicated to thatlist a few unless you genuinely want to gatekeep
>>521041542>when I started using the internet around 1998, there were already old nerdy dudes on usenet and shit... I never thought it was a children's playground, and I can't understand why you do.Because being on Usenet in the 80/90s wasn't something that a fucking child could easily do, retard.
>>521019753>just kept my head down and built things that workedThat's where you're wrong, boomer. You didn't build anything. You typed some shit. Like a writer whose output is boring and less useful to society.
>>521041375> Never mind that the other boards are also really great places to discuss your favorite hobbiesI’m also all over /ck/ and used to frequent many boards But /b/ /k/ and /tv/ have lost all their former luster, and even/gif/ has become nothing but race bait and bad PRON that not even the shill posters can whack it to.
>>521038356Yeah I'm sure that's a huge portion of the population
>>521041574People accuse Americans of being Jewish slaves, but Canadians really live it. Live, laugh, love, Jewcum.
>>521019753Gee if you guys didn't worship niggers and jews so much maybe you could have seen this coming.You'll claim you didnt/dont but let's be honest here you guys do not know how to hate. Not enough to command reality to do as you want, because you cannot conceive of a better version of it you are 'incapable' after a certain age unless you're actively training in the technique.
>>521039674I'm in my '50s and I can wear a tight t-shirt and get plenty of attention. But I don't wear cargo shorts. Slim fit, dress shoes, occasional jacket. I wear button-ups as well. If you have the body you can wear damn near whatever
>>521041867Honestly thisget in shape, clean up your face, and unless you're wearing literal shit covered rags, people wont care what you're wearing
>>521041639>emotional reactionYes it was lol, I was 8 when I started using the Internet and I figured it out. Eternal September is a thing. Seems like you are just another zoomer brownoid with peter pan syndrome
>>521025133You got aids in your balls?
>>521041597I forgot to add boards when I wrote that. Whenever I speak about old people on /pol/ its the fact that this is all about shitposting and being a timesink so the idea of someone over the age of 40 still engaging in that shit is surprising to me. But whenever I mention that to them, they respond with "well I'm here for 'discussion'" when in reality if they really wanted that they would go to the /news/ board or any board dedicated to "discussions". The way /pol/ functions is almost never condusive to actual discussions as it's drowned out by shitposting and memes (the real reason for this board). So the whole " I'm here for discussion!" is nonsense. Whenever I want to discuss conspiracies or paranormal shit, I would go to ATS or godlike productions or if I wanted to discuss politics I would go to Saidit or Digg (I'm in the beta). But you and I can both agree, this isn't the place to use "I come here for discussions" as an excuse.
>>521042206I'll be quite frank, /pol/ allows for discussion of certain manga, games, guns, etc. that would be easily derailed by shitposters on /a/, /v/, /k/, etc.
>>521042077>was 8 when I started using the InternetYou were 8 when your father bought a computer and set it up for you and paid the telephone company for service. 8 year olds now can take hand me down smartphones and bum WiFi off the library without any serious knowledge of technology. Are you seriously this dense?
>>521041494> As far as having discussions and shit, there are MANY sites/forums dedicated to that but I guess you just want to say nigger and shitpost like an edgy teen without getting banned from them? Alright then.Discord is one of the few places where you can have a civilized discussion on a wide variety of topics, but most of the net is a shitshow now, “many” is quite a stretch.Kiwi and 8kun get a mere fraction of the visitors here As to “old sites I used to visit” if you didn’t live through the Wild West days of the early intertubes, you will truly never know what freedom of information was like.Yeah free mp3s on limewire kazaa and napster was nice, but I had actual cease and desist letters from Comcast for the file servers I set up for my friends and colleagues hosting entire music catalogues and DVD rips for them to download at will…Also>A FUCKING LEAF
>>521042325>8 year olds now can take hand me down smartphones and bum WiFi off the library...??? how is this different from my parents buying a computer and paying for dialup? You are grasping at straws here to explain your worldview. Yes, it's easier for dumb children to post on social media from their ipad than it is to figure usenet out on a desktop running dos/windows 95, but why does that justify, in your mind, you coming to 4chan and assuming everyone must be a "child" like you?
>>521042206Why do you spend so much time whinging about what other people should or shouldn't be doing? Do you have a vagina?
>>521042363The wild wild west-ness of the old internet isn't as exciting as you think it was, unless you were into doing darknet-like activities on the clearweb. What exactly is so "free" about getting cease and desists from Comcast?
>>521042549You're the one who brought up actually being a child using the internet at 8 years old. And like I said, kids don't even have to pay for internet dummy, there's free WiFi all around the city.
>>521042566Make one comment about people being old on here and they all start to come out the wood works. If my comment got no (you)'s, I would have thought that I was the one over blowing the situation. Guess I'm vindicated :)
>>521042760>emojiYou're definitely not from around these here parts
>>521042854Its called an emoticon you broccoli headed moron.
>>521019753i think the worst part is seeing all these internet whores and faggots making your entire 25 year career money just by doing some degenerate shit
>>521042630> What exactly is so "free" about getting cease and desists from Comcast?When you are too dumb to understand that any number of guys like me who had easy access to blade racks and servers and would just set up whatever kind of private Pirate Bay they wanted to in their attics or spare rooms and it took several years and the interaction of your service providers coming at you with monitored traffic data to even come close to doing a damn thing about it, you will never understand. The DACA and copyright laws couldn’t do shit about it without the ISPs getting bought out by the (((media companies)))Now you just have to deal with Russian hosted shit stream sites with more trackers and telemetry data than you can imagine if you’re not tech minded… I’m sure your nordVPN will protect you leafbro, they certainly have your best interests at heart…And on that note, good night, as you said us old heads have other things to do with our time and there’s a warm woman 15 years younger than me waiting for me to come to bed.
>>521043161No one to blame but ourselves, really
>>521043381>I used to share media online!I'm happy that you got to spread jew media to your friends, very cool anon. Meanwhile I'm handing out USBs and harddisks containing real spooky stuff without it ever being tracked or traced to me. All of that "freedom" back then, just to spread the goyspell to more people for free. You're the man now, dog! Or whatever cringe shit you morons said to each other back then. Anyways, a female relative of yours >18 years old but <25 is currently on my futon tied up waiting to be graped.
