have you guys noticed how being a shut-in neet isn't really part of r9k culture anymore? when i started browsing this board, more than half the catalog was filled with threads about being a comfy neet, or about how much cooler it is to stay inside and reject the normie world. what happened to all those people? is there a place that recreates the feeling of neet era r9k?
i dropped out of high school 10 years ago because of the smug NEET pepe propaganda. after all these years of bullying employim i realised im going to be one of them in a few decades.
>>84912095r9k is mostly about women/ femanon and dating related (of which i loathe.) but yeah I'm still here, I've been trying to find a job on and off for three years since i graduated highschool and now I just kinda neet
>>84912095Being a NEET isn't comfy it sucks ass and it's boring. I hate my life.
>>84912183and what exactly would you prefer doing? People like me prefer solitude, I don't want anything to do with other people. I only desire solo travel so I can see the world
>>84912095everybody and their mother knows about 4mex now, it's normalfag surface internet atpplus more and more zoomers and unemployed so being a NEET isn't as much of a weird thing anymore
>>84912189>plus more and more zoomers and unemployed so being a NEET isn't as much of a weird thing anymorei didn't think about this. guess it was another case of r9k being ahead of the curve and society taking a while to catch up
>>84912095Almost like it was an unsustainable lifestyle kek
>>84912095>being a neet is so comfy!>*until you're left with nothing the moment the government changes its support system policies*>*it's over the moment disease catches up with your sedentary body* >*have to work to survive in a world that takes months to years to get any skill or qualifications, with your dysfunctional atrophied brain and fickle (or hamplanet) physique* people who think being a neet is cool either have wealthy parents or are tightening a rope around their necks The solitude amd laziness of it is tempting, but that's how you pay the toll later>I'd kill myself I'm ready to die anytime!until you don't, and it's the worse kind of suffering you've ever encountered, and you don't sound like you do even now that's just what you tell yourself to self soothe
>>84912095Being NEET only works if you're from a well off family that's supportive of your lifestyle. Which I do not belong to, so it's the wagie cagie for me.
>>84912277Wagies have the exact same issues so your point is dumb.
>>84912187I hate being around other people irl but having no income for hobbies and relying on your parents for food/transport/shelter sucks. I want a cabin in the woods.
>>84912294at the end. Both the wagie and neet commits suicide
>>84912095yes, i have noticed. now /r9k/ is partially about normalfag dating advice, homosexual erping, or foids making threads as if they were xitter posts that their *followers* then comment on. i think /r9k/ especially suffered from the same kind of normalfag exposure that /pol/ did in 2016 and have now been ruined beyond repair, much like /pol/. frankly i have almost completely left this board because of this and spent most of my time on /v/ or /g/ since im autistic enough to actually have hobbies im passionate about
>>84912277im finna bouta start trapping as a hobby. prison sounds comfier than the life of employim. you don't even know how it feels to have twenty racks in your hand.that ain't no money nigga.
>>84912319Kek typical nigger has no idek how to make money outside of selling drugsMany such cases
>>84912294When companies strictly hire people with experience or young people out of college? when most wagies have a net they can rely on in emergencies? when you can't even get a loan without a steady job? when most wagies wouldn't just find themselves homeless just because their parents kicked them out of their house? Wagies have spent years getting familiar with how to DO thingsYou really don't understand how grueling it is to start from ground zero if you have to wait until you're forced into it
>>84912349broke ass nigga are you NEET or self-employed? prisoners have more freedom than you if you aren't one of those options
>>84912395>PrisonersWhich you will soon be. Start stretching out that booty now boy so it doesn't hurt when the time comes
>>84912389I'm not saying all neetdom is bad but man are you going to suffer if you get too comfortable
>>84912095That was COVID lock downs. Almost everyone was neet during lockdown
>>84912427when you can't neet anymore, thats when its time to quit life. To leave behind your useless body in a useless world
>>84912095The neet should do creative things, but alot of old neet and wizard culture that involves creativity has kinda died on r9k
>>84912458what kind of creativity would old neets do?
desu being a NEET sucks having money is nice. I'm still an autistic retard but at least I can pay for hobbies and sex now.
>>84912419you aint ever been in a street fight in your life lil nigga, i can use every second of daylight tomorrow to train to fight, while you'll be obeying mr. shekelstein's orders. when i walk in the club hoes beg for my big NEET cock, you will never know that feeling
>>84912465torrent some music production software and make beats for hood niggas>>84912476free yourself from desire nigga, that honestly sounds disgusting compared to my luxurious NEET lifestyle. you should buy some LSD or shrooms.
>>84912479Sheeit negro iain no u wuh like dat foo u good u good
>>84912540stop doing this b8>>84912546you fell for the b8
>>84912560>you fell for the b8Kek how do you perceive that to be falling for it?
>>84912560i would have been a doctor or engineer if it wasn't for hyperbolic NEET propaganda on /r9k/ when i was a YN. just because i'm black i can't join in?
>>84912458or the wizards got too depressed, a lot of the culture involves mental illness and suicidal ideation, struggle breeds creativity but there's a point where your brain turns into mush
>>84912465Music, drawing, photoshop, writing, etc. Even rping to some extent was creativity, as alot of those type of threads ended up jump starting the liminal space fiction genre on here.This was an old endless tower thread: https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/43444892/#43444892This is one of the older apartment threads, which precedes the earliest known dates of Samosbor or Backrooms: https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/40428347
>>84912595Ehh, I find that creativity tends to be a good escape.
before /r9k/ there were NEET/hikikomori threads on /jp/ (the old mod was chill with them, the meido was not).people discussed forex and being alone and which 2hu they'd fug, nobody ever really brought up women or e.g. dating. it just doesn't track as a concept. "i'm on NEETbux, what's a good mansion polish for my chateau?! i'm hosting a ball at the weekend."
>>84912095Modern r9k culture is just being a gay gooner, like genuinely gay. Also a pedophile. Neet era r9k isn't capable of being replicated because it would require people of a certain age bracket in a certain generation at a certain point in their lives to post there. The people of the neet r9k era either roped, devolved further into entitled blubbery welfare queens that act like accountability is murder, or gave into addictions that festered into more depraved shit over time. At one point moot was disturbed by the number of pedophiles congregating on 4chan and bumped the loli board off when he realized it was appealing to people who would post and goon to kids on /b/. Just like loli was heckin ironic not real pedophilia linetrap was the same for faggotry, fostering a culture of faggots in denial until they would either troon out themselves or groom younger men into doing it. There is no difference between current /r9k/ and current /b/. In advance>what is the difference between neets and old welfare queens?The expectations and entitlement surrounding them. Old NEETs would shit on wagies because they knew the lifestyle was acknowledged as antagonistic to those who "paid into the system". The position is one that doesn't have to pretend they're le downtrodden and can't work because they have a dysfunction of some sort. Over time however these lifestyles will eat away at most, turning them into fucking losers who no longer acknowledge their parasitic nature. When you're young and embody that lifestyle there is an expectation that you can "bounce back" and make something of yourself. When that doesnt happen your mind will develop a cope to rationalize why you're still a failure into your 30s and beyond. Why should you work? You have autism or you're obese, other people do it why shouldn't you, etc you are owed something by society. What was once antagonistic towards others turns into a prison where you feel society at large is looking down on you, and it is.
>>84912095I've been neeting for 7 years
>>84912095>what happened to all those people?you should actually ask yourself that question. see if you can figure it out
>>84912164this is wishful thinking, you will simply die
>>84912969i guess it's time to become a professional hood nigga now while there's no pressure
i've been a NEET for two years hiding in my grams house but it's not gunna last forever i don't ever want to be a wagie again but idk wat else to do
>>84912288come to europe neetbro you can neet as much as you want just tell em you got ptsd or some shit>>84912969>this is wishful thinking, you will simply dieis that not preferable to being a slave? whatis the point of waging if you cannot make human connections anyways, work 40h a week with coworkers who think youre a weirdo, then go back home alone just to repeat that the next day but hey you got 2 free days a week wowsers also a third of your income gets sent abroad for some bullshit forever wars fucking amazing surely you contribute to society by financing the murder of children abroad and pedo orgies for the elite
Never felt like a 100% NEET board to me, even though it always had a NEET presence (what are NEETs gonna do other than be online, they have to end up somewhere).I remember adding people in MSN/Skype threads decades ago now, and it was a pretty diverse cast of characters. You'd find NEETs but you'd also find students, wagies, entrepreneurs, criminals.
>>84912177>teehee im still here>barely out of highschoolfuck outta here with this
>>84912095Being a true NEETtm is a privilege few can afford, although I'm a low status manual labour wagecage goy I'm still fundamentally a outcast amongst my peers including at work and I very rarely go outside other then work and grocery shopping with the sole exception of going to wander around my local parks and forests which is still a solitary activity. I hate working but its something you just got to do if you don't want to depend on your parents or the government if they have neetbux in you country which mine doesn't. I also like consuming technology, weed and alcohol aswell as other retard trinkets. I don't necessarily even hate working, what I hate is physically exhausting low wage labour that also demands you deal with and be nice to customers that are rude moronic mongoloid niggercattle. I've tried starting some business in what I studied for and enjoy as a hobbys but by utter lack of charisma and spergy demeanor I fail at completing a deal 90% of the time, and the other 5% are so demanding and difficult I don't want anything to do with them after the first transaction last 5% are no fuss customers that just know what they want and are willing to pay a fair amount and not haggle like some foid or jew over every detail. In a sense I enjoy the satisfaction in a honest day's work for a honest pay in a way it's fulfilling to my soul to not be some worthless freeloading nigger living off others labour and in a way enslaving them to same aspects of the system that I despise and do not wish upon myself or others.
neets haven't been a thing since like 2018. Covid rendered that crap about staying locked at home irrelevant and most people do need to work to not starve.
