/jp/ - Otaku Culture

To be an asocial shut-in and shitpost on /jp/ all day.

To be great unlike this thread.

To be omnipotent and strike down the "I wanna be a fireman ^__^" kids with RIGHTEOUS FURY

When I was on the first grade I drew a picture of myself programming. It's funny because that's what I do.

To be a chemist. Well, i ended up sort of like one.

To destroy all humans. I was an angsty fuck.

Now I just want to destroy MOST humans.

>>8537728
...drug dealer?

>>8537727
I programmed a picture of myself programming.

Beat that, nerd.

Now that you mention it, /jp/... I think I didn't had any dream. Maybe that time when I was obsessed with creating the biggest corporation...

To have parents.

Mine was being an famous artist and drawing comics. I wonder why I didn't study art I thought I'd starve to dead. Now I'm a mediocre programmer who works for peanuts.

>>8537751
You can program or you can do art. You can't do both.

At first, scientist.
Then inventor.
Then engineer.

Turned out to become a programmer.

>>8537755
A programmer is all of those!

>>8537736
Shh!

>>8537758
Programmers aren't necessarily scientists.

I'll give you the other two, though.

>>8537754
That's just an excuse that programmers give onto themselves thinking they can't learn art, and vice versa.

I'm a programmer, and I also do photography/painting. Both are learned arts, and you don't have to have completely separate brains to do both.

>>8537761
>graduate in computer science
>call myself a computer scientist
No faggot.

>>8537761
Well even if you don't identify as a computer so-called scientist, programming is like a science in itself.

>>8537763
No. You can be:
a) Creative
or
b) Logical.
You cannot be both.
Being both means you are a Mary Sue and you belong in badly-written fan fiction or a Jap cartoon.

First, a scientist, then a professor, and that lasted until I got into college.

Got depressed, started therapy, and discovered that I'm a pedo. Such is life.

>>8537784
c) Autistic
Not being an autist means you're a generic gayfaggotassgay.

>>8537788
I have Asperger's syndrome and I consider myself logical. However I cannot draw or create things. That would be impossible because you can't have both.

>>8537784
Sure buddy, continue to believe in that world, never improving past your self-imposed limitations.

>>8537797
This is just how it is though. These are like the rules to life. It's not self-imposed any more than physical sex is. You can be a man or a woman, but not both. Well obviously you can be both, but it's too rare to matter.

>>8537801
>too rare to matter
Those people are the ones who really found themselves, and not been limited to what society pushed on them to believe (that there are only men and women, and no one else). I mean, if your brain can't handle both, that's fine, nothing wrong with that. But, don't think that it's impossible to do both just because yourself can't.

I don't think I ever had any dream. If I had, they were drowned by the periodic schizophrenic rampages of my mother.
But I did want something since I was 6 years old, and that's having a girlfriend with everything that entails. I still haven't fulfilled that wish.

>>8537784
Then explain how ZUN programs great games and gives them great art and music too.

I wanted to be a garbage man. I still remember playing with my metal Tonka garbage truck toy.

>>8537826
>great art

>>8537832
It's an honest dream, and frankly, being a garbage man pays a lot of money these days. It's a job no one else wants to do, and you can expect to get paid good $80k/yr or more for it. Only downside being having to deal with garbage, and that you wake up early in the morning for manual labour work. You don't even have to talk to other people, not much anyway.

I was living the dream....
back in Y2K

I was soo happy....

>>8537852
You were like, fucking, 9 in Y2K.
You only use outdated operating systems because you're a stupid nostalgic hipster. At least use a good old operating system like Plan 9 from Bell Labs.

>>8537840
Are there any other jobs that are commonly looked down upon/overlooked that pay well?

To be homeless.

>>8537860
Pretty much any blue-collar work. Plumbers who has to deal with leaky shitpipes? They can charge $300/hr for the service and people still use them.

>>8537860
General dicking people over jobs maybe?
Or working on an oil rig or something. Those kind of jobs pay well but you have to live on an oil rig for a while.

>>8537801
This is the most pathetic, self-defeating shit I read all day.

If I could get 20 bucks a day on google ads with my shitty blog I'd quit my job but it's mostly one buck/ a few cents, I can't reach my dream with those earnings
