Same thing here in America, and most every other industrialized nation.

Old people are living too long, and the automation wave is beginning. This means there are few decent-paying, easily-accessible entry-level jobs. Any sort of entertainment can be had for free online (either legal or not, there are tons of options). The advantages of dating, having a family, and producing children are mostly antiquated.

In short, there isn't much to be gained by actually leaving your parent's house and entering the working world. In fact, given how much free time and leisure you give up, even high-paying jobs can be seen as seriously detrimental.

This is only going to get worse. See: The hamburger machine, 3D printing, (specific to the US:) upcoming boomer retirement waves, student debt levels, ridiculous medical costs, etc.

Why the fuck would anyone want to leave the warm confines of home in light of this? Living with my parents is nice, and I'll likely never be able to afford a home this nice anytime soon, not to mention how much more expensive it'll be to live alone.

holy fuck, this is exactly how my room looks like now, except with lcd monitors.

since 4chan was inspired by some japanese website i'm curious as to what else is out there on the web that the japanese have created. i mean, they are usually more advanced on technology and have a very futuristic kind of culture so it is not surprising that they would be making some amazing things on the internet and the west is just catching up. but i am not aware of any japanese sites that prove this kind of development, it seems as if they are being influenced by whatever is being done in the west, unless of course they have their own internet by now.

Goddamn, it's not like people have real choices in their own lives.Outside forces intimately shape every part of your life, including whether you jerk off tonight or tomorrow night or both.

I mean, who gives a shit? I have to do stuff I am coerced against doing now. Getting shoved into a virtual-reality paradise would be great compared to a 40 hour work week supporting some fattening, aging bag and some snot-nosed fucking children that happen to resemble me.
