/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I sleep and eat and post on 4chan.

'In that direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, 'lives Anonymous: and in that direction,' waving the other paw, 'lives tripfag. Visit either you like: they're both weeaboos.'
'But I don't want to go among weeaboos,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all weeaboos here. I'm a weeaboo. You're a weeaboo.'
'How do you know I'm a weeaboo?' said Alice.
'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here'.

Use computer. Eat. Sleep.

Actually, I'm not a hikkikomori, I've got to finish high school before that happens.
I'm writing my final exam in four hours, wish me luck!

Procrastinate.

I know how to stop being a neet but I don't feel any inclination to get off my ass and do something about it.

where does the food come from? do you live with your parents? grocery delivery? a whole lot of pizza?

what do you do on the computer?

I was close to becoming hikikomori once, but I was addicted to an mmo so I don't count it, I'm curious how the rest of you go about it.

Sleep a lot. Refresh /jp/ a lot.

I would love to be a hikikomori but there is so much to explore. I wish all humans would die so I could be a hikikomori, but have the whole planet to myself.

sleep, eat, refresh /jp/, masturbate, cry
In that order

I cook food my parents left me and live in a high end condo. spend most of the day trying to become normal again (workout, study, and work on my piano)

>>5036274

Then there would be no internet, and all you would have is outside, which might be nice for a while, but it seems it would be a lot of work.

Sleep, play touhou / VN, browse /jp/ (a lot), eat and occasionally watch some anime or read manga.

I am, and I do nothing. Vidya, fap, anime, shit on the internet (literally, shit on it), and whatever else I can do alone in my room.

I just got a letter today from the fed saying I have to start spending the money they send me for being like this each month or else they will stop paying me. It's weird being told 'spend the money or we wont give you more' rather than the usual save it type of deal.

>>5036378
Send the money to me.

>>5036378

I do not know how one literally shits on their internets, i probably don't want to.

>>5036445
I'd have to give it to you in cash - a lot of it - so I'd have to know you personally and be able to give it to you in person too. Plus I wouldn't anyway. Though I'd take you out to dinner or lunch often to keep the account from filling up again.

Good when you're involved in something, bad when confronted with the reality that you're about to be homeless and that you can't even depend on yourself.

>>5036475

make a card house, only out of stacks of 10 rubber-band bound one dollar bills.

--and why cash? that's so lame, you can't spend it from your computer, or is that the point?

Sleep, sort my hentai manga, play visual novels, watch anime, read manga, play WoW and SC2 then continuously check my rss feeds. Haven't been outside in quite a few weeks. Haven't gone off the property in months. So far, I'm 3 years into this.

>>5036378
Eat more expensively and stuff any leftover cash in your mattress.

>>5036317
I could live without the internet. I only go on the internet when I'm stuck with people all day. Like these days...

Read VNs and browse /jp/. It was great having the house to myself while everyone's at work. Unfortunately, now my dad's hours have changed, and my next-door aunt randomly comes to check her email on the other computer. Can't take it easy.

My mom makes me take online courses on and off, which I mainly fail. Hoping she'll give up on it soon.

>>5036134

>>5036515
You should put at least some effort into the online courses. If I had my GED I'd love to at least make some headway towards a normal life.

>>5036515

Online courses suck, I failed all of mine. If I didn't have drive to leave the house, obviously I wouldn't to do school work.

>>5036524
Problem is I get surprisingly anxious about the courses. They often require discussions and group projects. Of course, I won't deny laziness as another factor.

If I buy anything with my card, the government tracks it as they have full access to my bank account and they check it often. Part of the deal of being on supplemental income.

I don't like being tacked, I'm a paranoid type.

>>5036554

Group projects seem easier these days. Everyone just picks their own thing to do, then they all mash it up into something workable at the end. Very little interaction needed.

>>5036579
They still try talking to you, emailing you hey im cunt x blah blah blah.

And then nowadays most online classes have you forced to participate in some sort of class forum on the website, and even more popular nowadays are live chatrooms for class meetings.

Also, half the time they don't tell you until after it's too late to drop the class, but they like throwing in secret mandatory on-campus meetings even for online shit.

>>5036579
Still overwhelming to me. I nearly decided to fail a class just because one of my group members suggested exchanging phone numbers, which they luckily didn't do.

>>5036570
You honestly think the government actually tracks shit?

It's an empty threat. Just look at all the scandals due to the SEC failing miserably at their job.

I want to be paid by the government to the point my account is filled up and don't know what to do with all the money. What the hell?

If you have that much useless money you have to spend, buy $200 worth of various cheap foods to see what that much looks like.

>>5036695

OP agrees, bank account is always empty. I blame Amazon and Steam.

Sleep, food, computer.

Computer means
1. Internet (78% /jp/)
2. Computer games (93% StarCraft)
3. Masturbation (98.4% Touhou)

I do have a 360, a DS, and a PSP, but I barely play them once a month, instead being on the computer.

P.S. I'm a girl

>>5036753
I was enjoying this thread until your post.

>>5036684
I'm pretty sure they really do when they are giving you free money. It's not 'they track me because they are big brother' its that they don't want to keep giving me free cash for nothing in return, and they actually DO keep an eye on it in the cases of unemployment/disability/welfare and so on.

Which is also why I "have too much" and have to use it more. At the very least I know for a fact they check your balance - which mine is way over the limit as I've been worried about spending (which is funny given the situation) which is why I got this letter to begin with.

Also it goes based on 'resources' so I can't go spending it on whatever to use it because a lot of that will count as 'resources' and still add up to too much. I can buy things for myself with it too, but in moderation so it sounds nicer than it really is, it's actually a little stressful as if I simply don't notice my account goes over again and it does I just won't get any more money.

At the moment I need to get rid of several thousand dollars, so I just threw most of it away on repaying my student loan. At least it's done with now instead of taking a few years...plus it's part of what they are paying me for, so they can't really complain.

>>5036766

I enjoy derailing threads.

I get off on it. It accounts for a whole 1%.

>>5036823
How are you getting money, exactly?

I would be interested in doing this if it was feasible for me.

>>5036753
Sounds like my last girlfriend, except she hated Touhou.

It just wasn't meant to be.

>>5036823
>Paying off 7k student loans on a whim.
>Nicer than it really is.

>>5036684
I always hear stories of /jp/ bros spending their welfare checks on anime figures and games. It is probably an empty threat.

>>5036766
Same here. Now I'm shaking nervously again.

>>5036823

Must be SSI: can't exceed $2000 in resources for an extended period of time (helps with rent and student loans, though)

>>5036823
How much trouble do you have going outside? Could you use some new furniture, or do you already have a great setup? If you're feeling charitable you could even buy stuff to give to food/clothes drives.

>>5036837
I actually find it funny how /jp/ males are so jealous of /jp/ females.

>>5036965
No one is jealous of anything. Posters needlessly pointing out that they are female tends to derail threads, though. Let us not discuss this any further.

>>5036943
Yeah, I just have SSI but I've had it for awhile and havn't really spent any of it - so it's added up to a lot more than allowed.

>>5036925
I mean it's nice but not as nice as having that much to just spend on whatever would be.

>>5036940
A lot of trouble, but I was actually thinking of changing my room around a lot and getting some new furniture and even repainting. I guess that'd count as something I could spend this on too without them bitching if they do actually check. I didn't think about that.

>>5036946
Well I buy things for myself like figs and things from time to time, I'd just rather keep it moderate though instead of risking losing my only income.

OP here, seems like a lot of you think you could easily spend a lot of money as a hikikomori.

If you had $2,000 what would you buy? You can't do anything that involves going out, computer related shiz is out since that's too obvious, as is anime or game related items.

>>5037009
I'd probably spend it first on making my room/house as comfortable as possible, seeing as how I'm a hikki. Then there's the charity items I mentioned before.

Makes me curious what people from /jp/ on welfare had to go through. They don't just hand you free money every month for being a failure, you have to have a legitimate reason for not working and show how fucking miserable you are.

>>5037009

>If you had $2,000 what would you buy?

Oh that's easy, I'd

>computer related shiz is out since that's too obvious, as is anime or game related items.

... Um... Food?
Maybe... um... A new fridge? And then more food to fill it with...

People who sit around all day EVERY DAY forcing this NEET & Hikki crap on /jp/ really fucking need to get a life.

Or at least explore other boards out there. There's much ore amusing stuff to do on the net than lighting your own farts on 4chan.

Use the topical 4chan boards to discuss their topics and then get the fuck away from 4chan, don't stick around here.

>>5037113
I think this is the wrong board for you.

>>5037113

OP is disappoint. If it bothers you so much, maybe you should not be on the internet. Go find something productive to do maybe? Maybe explore a different board.

i would order tons of packing peanuts then fill my room with them. Proceed to frolic and swim about.

>>5037‌113

Hello newfriend

>What do you do in there all day?
Anything I want. Anything I find entertaining. Looking in you could just say I spend an incredible amount of time on the computer though.

I live on my own, I rent an apartment, but I haven't ventured further than several blocks in over two years. I only leave to get groceries, and I usually go at night. I work over the Internet doing software development jobs, but I make just enough to scrape by. I rarely speak to people and haven't spoken to my family in years. I have no friends.

The Internet is the only thing that keeps me sane.

The hikki life is appealing, but I wouldn't have any means to fund collecting figs. Could never do it.

>>5037445

I flirted with a quasi-hikki lifestyle my first year of college. Virtually never left my room except to get food or go to class or other necessary functions. Spent all my time studying or screwing around at the computer. Or both.

I might be introverted, but I discovered that I'm not nearly as introverted as I thought I was, and the relative isolation (among with a couple other factors) led to a year of crushing depression thereafter.

Despite all that happened though, it still remains somewhat appealing since I haven't had nearly as much solitude has I did during that period in time.

/ramble

>>5037485
Oh god, the solitude is so great. Yeah, it's ronery sometimes, but damnit, life is so much simpler when you don't have people fucking things up for you.

How can any of you afford your own apartments? I can't live in California anymore because it's too expensive. It's almost 2,000 dollars for a fucking one bedroom apartment.

>>5037553
Owning a house helps. So does having a lot of savings.

>>5037553
>California

There's your problem.

Sleep
Anime
Visual Novels
Video Games
Internet

>>5037553
I only pay 300 a month using money saved up from a previous job. I live with my brother so he pays for the other half of rent and does all the shopping so I never have to leave my house. Yes he hates my life.

>>5037607
Do you do anything around the house?

>>5037937
I keep it clean and do all the chores. I can't cook for shit though, so I don't try to poison him with attempts. I honestly wouldn't feel right unless I was doing something around the house to make up for it.
