>past a certain age, a man without a driver's license can be a bad thing
>>220086833I have a drivers license and work 10 hours a week. Checkmate.
>>220086893Thats what the average wageslave works in a day including travel time to work and back home. You shouldn't be proud of that.
>got mine way too late (23)>years went by without having to use it>didn't practice at all >got a well paying job that requires me to drive (no public transport to where it's at)>got scared shitless because everything I had learned I completely forgot>have been taking ubers to and from for a year and a halfsucks being a pussy late bloomer
>>220086937I dunno it's been a long time since I started driving but I remember getting into the swing of things pretty easily because it wasn't that different from video games
>>220086937What the fuck is so hard about driving? You just need to think that every other driver is a 50 iq retard npcs so you're always wary and on your toes. Keeps the reflexes sharp and turns you in to a good driver. A good driver is patient and knows when to gas the pedal.
>>220086893>10 hours a werk
>>220086937These people are why 4chan sucks now btw, why the sense of mischief and edginess is gone.Pussies who are scared of their shadow. They don't drink, they don't fight, they don't fuck, they're scared of absolutely every little risk and therefore have ZERO life.
>>220086833Never had one, never will have one.I don't live in a third world country (like dickless americans) I am also not retarded like an american, i understand causality. Destroying the world and using a potential deadly weapon to kill countless living beings just because I am lazy is against my ethics.I am over 40 too.I am also not a bike riding faggot as an alternative. i used to ride bikes everywhere as a means of travel in my teens to mid 20s but after that i just decided to use only my 2 feet to traverse.though i have needed to use a bis to get to work faster some tomes and I use a train(s) if i need to travel to a different city.
>>220086937You aren't a late bloomer, you're a genuinely pathetic loser. The biggest retards in our society drive. You're just a scared little dick bitch
>>220087188>Pussies who are scared of their shadow. They don't drink, they don't fight, they don't fuck, they're scared of absolutely every little risk and therefore have ZERO life.I went outside to take the trash out and now I got a sprained ankle, fuck you I'm staying inside
>>220087188let's not pretend the first channers, who were by and large MILLENNIALS, were out there getting into fights and fucking (and drinking anything but fag coded craft brews). unc ass post with that revisionism tbqh
>>220086833I've spent so much money on these fucking lessons because nobody will take me driving and it's making me crazy.
These threads are made by jeets
>>220087188>low inhibition normiegoy>yeah bro let's get drunk and start fights and think about pussy all the timewhen did neurotypical frat boys get to this site
>>2200871884channers have always been awkward introverted nerds though.The Chad meme just made it so everyone pretends otherwise. But if you're posting here, you're definitely a loser in some way.
>>220087257I'm a millennial, and I was never this timid fucking pussy ass bitch avoiding risks, but generally no, millennial were even worse fags than zoomers. They were hipsters and uppity skanks. The worst cohort of them all.Gen X most definitely did live more courageously though, that's NOT revisionism. They were the ones who populated Somethingawful, bash org, TOTSE, Rotten dot com etc etc, and that culture combined with teenage millennials before they turned into pure soi, was the edginess of early 4chan.
>>220087353Some Gen X'ers did but I doubt those were the people posting on the internet 9 or 10 hours a day. You had to be a real fuck up to be THAT into online culture back when the real world was actually pretty entertaining and worth experiencing.
>>220087312>>220087287Being a shy scared nerdy autist is NOT the answer to normiedom.Low-inhib is ALWAYS the way, this place was alive when it was full of low-inhib abnormal people. No one likes you scared timid invalids.
>>220087405Of course they were freaks and fuckups. Tyey were much freakier misfits than current channers.They just weren't timid, cowardly, conformist fuckups.

>>220087447oh god you're an atheist fedora tipper aren't you?
>>220087029This. I drive with my knees while eating burgers and combing my hair in the rear view mirror and spill gravy in the cracks around the hand brake and centre console
I spent four years learning to drive and couldnt do it. Literally every time felt like the first time I was driving. I went on highways, busy streets, heavy traffic and I had a full on panic attack every time. Almost caused a few accidents. No clue what is wrong with me
>>220087312Believe it or not older people here where not entirely autistic shut in weirdos, that is just the /r9k/ black pill crowd and election culture war people who came later and successfully took over. The one thing they had in common was a dislike of mainstream bullshit, like sportsball, that doesn't mean they where unable to cope around "normies". This always just an outlet not a replacement for a life.t.36 y/o boomer
>>220087413Times change. The median age of the site back then was probably 22. So of course it seemed more lively. If you want low inhib, why not use the sharty? They're pretty wild over there.Also I'd point out, normies are bloodthirsty savages when it comes to anyone that's different in a way they haven't preapproved. There's a reason to not stick out in real life.
>>220087475No, I doubt anyone in here is. I'm a slavic neonazi sperg. One time in jail I actually met a chronic Somethingawful user, it was funny.I'm just talking about the general character of the genx equivalent of channers. They had 100x more balls, and as a result produced much livelier and more interesting subcultures.
>>220087560I think we have different understandings of what you mean by timid and shy, then. I don't talk much to normies because I know they will hate what I have to say. I nod and say "uh huh" through my conversations with them until I can be left alone. If they say something retarded, I tell them "that's interesting" or "yeah maybe that's true" because there's no point arguing with them.
>>220087503Holy fucking shit
>>220087312Awkward? Maybe. Did I find 4chan in 2003 and I have grandkids now? Yeah.Le wizard mode, forever alone, all this shit was a meme, it wasn't meant to be an instruction manual.Stop living your worst possible life
>>220087569Yeah you're a cautious scared pussy, like I said. I know you are scared of sticking out, along with everything else. Then you make various excuses, like your age or whatever>muh shartyNowhere on the internet is like that anymore, it's the spirit of the times. I had to go IRL to just run into people who aren't these paralyzed pussies.
>>220087189Yeah in the us our infrastructure is so bad we need it to function. My dad back in eurostan is 70 and never had a license. I didnt get a license until I moved to the us because I simply didnt need one in my 27 years in Europe. Funnily enough the first vehicle I was licensed on in the us was a Bradley
>>220087589>They had 100x more ballSocial media made everyone 10000x more self aware and anxious. But even so, there are more subcultures nowadays than back then, to make a qualitative judgement is just foolish and your own bias talking.
>>220086833*sniff sniff*what the FRICK is this thread? do i smell random freakin nerds stinking up the cinema and tv discussion forum with these embarrassing sob story threads that got nothin' to do with movies?*rolls up sleeves*babe, tuck in the kiddos. i need to pwn these dweebs and put them in their place. they'll thank me later.
>>220087694And what's the nature of the 4chan subculture now, at a glance? Calling each other glowies while posting self-pitying apu memes about being scared and blackpilled?What's the nature of normie subcultures? Saying the correct thing not to stick out?There haven't been any new subcultures at all for like 15 years now, the last innovations were isis and SoundCloud rappers
>>220087679Of course I am scared of it. As I said, normies are generally bad people who will ruin you for their own entertainment. Why would I give them ammunition by openly acting like a sperg? The last time I got drunk with normies and started acting more low inhib, their first instinct is to pull out their phones and record it. They're always looking for a way to blackmail you and punish you.
>>220087759>There haven't been any new subcultures at all for like 15 years now, the last innovations were isis and SoundCloud rappersYou're so out of touch it's not even funny.
>>220087773>things that never happenedPeople pull phones out when there is a fight or something similar happening. No one in any social circle has ever recorded me, no matter how wild I was talking, since that would be an outlandishly hostile action, basically equivalent to throwing a punch.I'm not saying the normiejiggers are good people (neither are you), or that you should like them. I'm saying you need to embrace what you are, and do what needs to be done so you don't fear them like a bitch
>>220087802I'm not out of touch, because I sift through all the vomit on here and in general media just as I was back then. Firstly, the internet has homogenized all youth culture so that there are no distinct subcultures. Secondly, innovation has completely fallen off.
>>220087802this is probably a female who thinks watching white lotus counts as a new subculture
>>220086833not worth driving unless you can afford decent model of truck or large SUV or live in an RV or camper. so many niggers, asian women, old women, young women, women in general, and worst of all--jeets on the road that you're better off taking a bus. that way if a jeet causes a collision with a '97 Honda Civic Im sitting comfy in the back of the bus
>>220087773its not the 90s where you can bash some fag trying to film video blackmail and tear up his VHS on the spot but you can still smash cunts phones you know. even if you get recorded.just say they were using the phone as a blunt weapon hue
>need a car and license to get a job>need a job to buy a car and pay for a license and fuel + maintenance
>>220088394I think Alice Cooper had a song about that.
>>220088394Goyim keep trying hard though! Just grind harder, get a third job, sleep less! You're so entitled!
>>220087690What a peak level of retardation to base your entire countries infrastructure around a technology founded that is ran on a finite resource.
>>220086833I don't mind driving but FUCK parking, man, I hate this shit
I was 25 when I got my driver's license. I paid for this driving school and got private instruction, but I was the only old guy there. I never expected all the other students to be 15 and 16 year old kids. WTF. They can take driver's ed in high school, why do it at a private school?
>have driver's license and car>girlfriend refuses to get driver's license so i have to drive her everywhere she wants
>chief, we tried to pull a tail on him, but we cant even tell if hes got a car>he hasnt even got a drivers license on record>and when we looked for an address, the best we got was his mothers house>we did twenty days of surveillance and never saw him come in or out>we ended up pulling up old tax records, and we cant even find a single job on record>all we found is that, in 2019, he made $26 dollars trading on robinhood>no known associates, address, jobs, nothing>this guy's a pro
a drivers license absolutely opens you up to the real world and the freedom to access it on your own schedule, its like getting a key item in an RPG that lets you access areas you couldn't get to before and they're all over the place, relying on public transport past the age of 22 is a terrible way to live idc what country you live in, of course if you're a jew yorker or whatever you practically have to be rich to have a car
I got the stupid license but I ain't ever getting a car. Fuck that. They're money pits.
I really can't wrap my head around these NEETs who live with their parents into their 30s and don't have a license, job, or any experience outside of shitposting on 4chan, fapping to questionable or possibly illegal shit, playing excessive amounts of video games and watching too much media. Like what's the exit strategy when the folks pass on? Also inb4 normie, I've been here as long as some other oldfags who posted above me and they're right, it wasn't always /r9k/ losers posting here (although when m**t deleted r9k it was possibly the worst time on this site, so many >tfw no gf wojack posts it was insane)
>>220087312this, the new generation may drive less but 4chan has always been full of nolifer introverts too scared to try something different, some are better than others
>>220088725Just drive a E46 with 440,000km on it like I do. I just refill the oil when it leaks out every so often.
>>220087189>calls america third world>literally lives at the mercy of his public transport and is forced to be around other people the entire time hes travellingfunny you think your way of life isn't the worse one>potential deadly weaponholy fuck wha a pussy you are
>>220087503ill be nice and say at least you tried, highways can be pretty scary but after years of driving the funny thing for me is only parking stresses me out, I can manage roads like a mother fucker
>>220088775America is fourth-world
>>220088775>wha a pussy you areSo you think running around with a vehicle that can kill people is "cool" just because you are a fat fuck too lazy to walk anywhere.Fucking kill yourself you dickless retard.I bet you think killing animals and children is fun.>forced to be around other peopleWe (not you) live in society, Everything that we use is created by other people you fucking retard. it is called interconnectedness. Its why humans have been able to create civilization>is scared of other people>calls other a pussyFuck, you burgers get more and more retarded as the days go by.
>>220088832Why are you so against killing people?
>>220088725not if you know how to buy the right car, I got mine for 3k, had one major fix I had to pay for and then it went all last year no fixes needed, gas is cheap in my state (even recently with this war bullshit) and insurance is just a twice a year bill thats about half a paycheck each time. My last car was a van and that fucker was reliable as hell too, traveled across america with it, now thats an experience most poor kids don't get to experience like I did but I fucking scrimped and saved and got to see our big beautiful country
>>220088775>at the mercy of his public transportNTA but if "at the mercy" is how you view public transport then your taxes are being pissed up the wall on the wrong things, friend.
>>220088832i haven't killed a single person with my car and I never will bro, they'll kill me worst case scenario>dickless retardyou're the pussy waiting for the train to arrive on its schedule, i'm not scared of other people at all thats why I drive 80 miles an hour around hulking pieces of metal to my job where I work with people all day, I just have the luxury of being able to have my own room that can transport me to the woods, or the ocean, or the mall, or 2 states over any time I'm free, good luck doing that on a whim bro
>>220088842I am not a third world dickless retard like you.I live in a developed society of white people. When you understand causality, and lets face it, your mutt thirdies will never discover causality, but if you do, you realize that all actions have an effect. Killing being a very serious action. One that has consequences far beyond its simple obvious ramifications that can be observed.Now, with that, killing out of defence or even necessity to live can be understood as a necessary evil to sustain ones life.Killing because you are a glutenous lazy mutt retard is creating causes for a significant poor(er) quality future.Let alone the harm to the world that the cars emissions themself do.
>>220088859means you have to operate on their schedule, for an adult thats a pain in the ass, I live 5 minutes from my job you know how much longer public transport would take to get there? and I live somewhere with tons of buses and trains. Once I got a car I realized I was never going back
>>220088906lmao this guy is such a faggot holy shit, peak redditor
>>220088901>good luck doing that on a whim broI live in a first world country retard. Any facility is in ease fo access.We actually have third world infrastructure. Like public transport for our society that can reach anywhere we need or want.And we also dont have to be waiting weeks for some piss mobile or a train to come.Your third world country cannot even make such infrastructure. You are thirdies.Even south american countries have the infrastructure in place and are also thirdies. Yet the burger hellhole cant even do simple shit us first world countries achieved centuries ago.
or live in a civilized country that has robust public transit
>>220088943>having an IQ enrages the thridieYou are a dickless brown retard.nobody cares about the shit you have to say you fat lazy faggot.
>>220088906Sonds gay, I thin you've been brainwashed.Killing people is generally ok
>>220088980>That retarded shit you are spoutingYou are a thirdy ffs, you dont even understand causality, You retards would not have even found fire if it was not for my people giving the technology to you.STFU.Nobody cares what a retarded dickless brown faggot like you has to say.The concept is beyond your mental ability to comprehend. As we have already ascertained from the retarded shit you are posting.
>>220088929If it's that close by then why don't you walk instead?
>>220089046You're the dickless one, yelling and moralfagging like a fat woman
Got my theory exam tomorrow. I'm 29. City guy.Driving could be cool but owning + maintaining a car requires money I don't have, however it does open up more job possibilites.I wanna get a 2006 Ford Ka. How are those? I'm not paying more than 1k for a rustbucket, I just want to get around without all the worthless shit modern cars come equipped with, plus they plain fucking suck with how ugly they are, minimalist, unwelcoming lines, while the Ka looks like a quirky fun little shitbox. I heard they rust pretty badly in humid countries, mine is fairly dry though so it shouldn't be a big problem. Probably won't last more than a couple of years seeing how old it is and how replacement parts will become ever rare and expensive, but I don't care I just wanna drive one before its time is truly up
>>220086937I didn't drive until I was like 28, it's easy as fuck
>>220089074You LITERALLY have your dick chopped off, you mutts all do.Anything you say is irrelevant by default as you are a dickless faggot.then, doubly so, a retard by default for being a burger.Then, a mutt.So, you are a dickless mutt (brown) retard and you cant even refute it.nobody with any sense of intelligence will ever listen to anything you dickless mutt retards have to say.your entire race of muttery and country of retarded dickless faggots are a third world hellhole joke to the rest of us in the the entire world.
>>220086833getting your driver's license in the US is easy as fuck
>>220089119I'm not American.Stop having a sissy fit, faggot. Murder is ok, you've just been brainwashed to react to it like the holohoax
>>220089230>I'm not American.Sure thing dicklet, keep telling yourself that.You must have to be a special colour of brown to be more retarded than a burger that you dont even understand causality
>>220089119Enjoy being able to run 2 errands a day for the rest of your life waiting at those stops. Always waiting is what your life is waiting and waiting for that next ride from the adult who can help you get to your next sandbox
>>220088855You forgot the annual oil change and the other oils that needs to be replaced every 2 to 5 years. Not to mention insurance and road tax. Cars are expensive to keep bro.
>>220088637Similar. Gf is such a terrible driver she gets anxiety on the highways and refuse to use them, take small roads which doubles the drive time so I have to drive anyways.
>>220089463>being able to walk anywhere is literally unfathomable to a retarded burgerDickless retards at it again, showing us all hoe retarded they are
i can drive but suck at reversing between 2 cars it scares the hell outta me, anons how do i get better at reversing?. but damn this thread is exactly why men need proper guidance in life.
>>220088733Half of those are in socialist countries where they get autismbucks, other half an hero
>>220089357Post hand jeet nigger.
>>22008718820 bucks says you've never been in a fight neither fag
>>220086833Driving is low status. Just hire an uber if you need to go somewhere.
>>220089567Can't help you, I'd rather walk 20 minutes from easy parking spot than reverse or pararell park between cars.
>>220086833I'm about to lose my license for 12 months due to texting while driving. I have a gf and a mortgage.
>>220089567its all about getting comfortable with your side mirrors and firmly understanding the length of your vehicle within the view of those mirrors. Try not to rely on the rear view because you want to be able to watch your rear tires and pivot points.
>>220086833That’s most of Europe
>>220086937>way too late (23)Got mine nearly a decade later than you. >need to stop neeting>drivers licence is a mandatory requirement for 95% of work nowadays>stuck unable to stop neeting for almost a year because I where I'm at you have to be on your learners for a full year and no one will consider you if you don't have provisionals+
>>220087029I almost crashed into a bridge because I genuinely believe that, I had a habit of drifting away from the center line.
>>220088805I'd figure highways would be the least scary part about driving. There's a nice and big barrier between you and people going the opposite direction, you don't have to constantly look for new speed limits or cars coming through an intersection.>first driving lesson>Why do you keep slowing to a crawl at intersections when you don't have to give way?>>Because I don't know if a car's going to come barreling through>But they're supposed to give way>>That doesn't mean they will
>>220087473My brother used to be a bikefag, he almost died a few too many times so his wife made him stop (plus he needed a normal driving licence to drive the soon-to-be kid around).
>bpd mum wouldn't let me go to driving school>thought I was crazy and would immediately drive thru a crowd of people>had to wait til 18>drove friends car for 1 hr for training>went to take license test and lied abt amount of hours i had>had cousin sign off on it>somehow passed>10 yrs later>am a professional driver and trainerIt's that easy
>>220089707Cool, you've lost 20 bucks
>>220089818As a euro I can confirm
>>220089947Highways are scary because of high speeds and constant mirror checking, least stresful are countryside backroads
>>220088842Hes probably white
>>220090143You're so cucked you think white=gay
>>220090095Just keep a constant speed and stay in the middle. I don't think you need to mirror check very often if you aren't changing lanes.
I'm 37 and have never driven a car.
>>220090095>mfw small cornwall back road>no markings>3m high stone walls on either side so you can't see farther than the next corner, or out of a corner>surprise 4x4s or lorries or tractors could be at every cornerI would NOT call that comfy
>tfw accidentally run over a dog the first time my father tried to teach me how to driveDidn't kill him, but I'm pretty sure I broke at least some of his bones since he could barely use his leg after getting up

>>220089884Australia? Just lie about having a car
>>220089907Just stop staring at your phone retard. Pay attention.
>>220090472>Just lieBut I'm not chinese or indian.
>get a beautiful car that fits me perfectly>it gets crushed by a treeyeah, rip
>>220088733It isn't a choice, world is fucked and people are forced to neet because they aren't chads. Women take our jobs, everything else is exported to chyna
