>cheapest ramen
Buy corn starch and salt separately mix them together and cook.

>>9555206
I like you because you actually made the NEET thread on topic for NEET advice. I like Maruchan ramen chicken flavor, it's pretty good for being cheap.

Just buy animal grain you nerd.

>>9555212
I do too and it's like $.20 a packet which is fantastic, but I've been living on it for a while and I'm starting to get sick of it.

>>9555208
Keep up the BAD work. LMBO!

>>9555219
I haven't seen any better ramen that's cheap.. For a change of pace, try rice and beans, or maybe cup ramen?

>>9555225
I have never had cup ramen, what's a good brand?

Top Ramen is $0.10 a packet here.

Shit's cheap. But if you're looking for cheap food, dried beans, dried rice, bananas, and sunflower kernels, are all incredibly cheap and will keep you alive.

>>9555229
I get maruchan chicken for cup ramen too, but the noodles and overall flavor are kinda different. Just heat up some water in the microwave for about 3 minutes in a mug, pour it into the cup and use something to keep the paper lid closed after so the steam stays in, it'll be ready to eat in ~3 minutes.

>>9555239

>maruchan cup ramen

Why would you ever for any reason buy that over their packets?

How should I allocate my budget for NEET food if I don't want to develop disgusting health problems very quickly?

>>9555247
That depends on your budget.

>>9555246
I wouldn't, he just asked for something different if he gets tired. It's the only thing I know. Are oats cheap for oatmeal and stuff? Might be another good idea.

>>9555250
$100 a month for food, is that enough?

>>9555247

Fruit, unprocessed grains/legumes, vegetables (particularly potatoes), nuts/seeds, and cheap meat.

Actually cook shit instead of relying off pre-made food/meals. It's cheaper and healthier.

>>9555254

More than enough if you really know what you're doing and get autistic about it.

>>9555261
But it takes time and skill and is basically work.
Not neet at all...

>>9555274
>if you really know what you're doing

I thought it was implied that I don't?

>>9555206
>my allotment of ONE (1) NEET lifestyle thread!

posts like this are why /jp/ is GOAT in my heart forever and always

>>9555287
Please stop that, I have a hard time taking it easy when people put a question mark at the end of statements

>>9555276

I'm not saying cook elaborate meals.

Microwave a potato, make some rice, steam some vegetables, eat a banana, eat some sunflower kernels, fry some meat or eggs, etc. etc. Not asking you to make curry from scratch or something.

One thing I forgot to add I guess, would be that making bread is very cheap for how much calories it can give you. Flour, and a tiny bit of yeast, salt, sugar, and water is pretty much all you need.

I hope to have NEET lifestyle shortly!

For food value I've found bibimbap is cheap and filling, the same with a lot of dishes like that actually.

I recently applied for autism bux so soon I can enter the glorious NEET life.

There is only 1 allowed NEET general thread now. Please stop spamming these multiple threads so I can enjoy my /jp/ like I remember it from the archives 3 years ago.

Here is the link to the 1 allowed NEET thread.

>>9555295
Please stop trying so hard to fit in.

>>9555287
You should find somewhere like Costco that sells really cheap food in bulk. You can get rice and beans, ramen noodles, and maybe oats and some fruit.

I usually go with Sapporo Ichiban as a good middle ground between the really cheap stuff and more expensive noodles. Plus, they actually have miso ramen, so that is a plus. I usually also add some frozen vegetables so that I can pretend it is healthy. I add cheese sometimes too, but that doesn't count as pretending to be healthy.

>>9555305
He seems like he's trying to shitpost, but we should probably move here guys. It does help to not clutter the board.

>Just heat up some water in the microwave for about 3 minutes in a mug,

Why the fuck don't Americans own kettles? I've done a few homestays in America. Every fucking time:
"Oh hey, you're British, so do you want some tea?"
"If you don't mind."
"Okay, I'll just set the microwave."

GET A FUCKING KETTLE. THEY ARE NOT EXPENSIVE. THEY ARE A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT.
I've even had someone give me hot water straight from the tap, which was disgusting and also unhygienic.

I don't want to get too off-topic or start a flame war because North Americans are lovely people (seriously, you guys are so laid back it rocks) but you all need to buy kettles right the fuck now.

>I've even had someone give me hot water straight from the tap, which was disgusting and also unhygienic.

What on earth?

Americans, please don't think that the drinking water in the UK is unsanitary.

>>9555340
>>9555335
Was I wrong? I saw something about it a few months ago that it got raised on most boards, if I'm wrong, sorry /jp/.

>>9555343
I might next time I go to the store.

>>9555352
If by "most boards" you mean "all the boards I browse".

>>9555351
Unless you live in Northumbria or Scotland, the water is awful. There's a reason limescale is such a big issue.

>>9555356
It was some announcement on the top.

>>9555343
My Grandmother has collected Kettles and tea pots since she was married at 18.
She has a lot of strange and fancy ones.

I guess this Otaku collecting thing runs in my family.

>>9555343
Don't worry bro I have a kettle. I admit to microwaving water, but that's for instant cofee or tea bags. As a guest you would get kettle boiled water with my finest looseleaf tea my friend. Please forgive that poor misguided soul and reconsider us living in North America.

Stop pretending to be Japanese.

>>9555399
I am Japanese. Hello.

>>9555364
Take some pictures and post them on /jp/.

No, seriously, I'm interested.

>>9555399

>>9555372

please leave

>>9555359
I don't think I'll be able to buy bottled water once I have to pay for my own food and stuff again.

Is it really that unhealthy to drink water straight from the tap without boiling it?
I live in central europe.

>>9555428
Your fault for ma/q/ing this place accessible to everyone. Stop acting like it's not your fault, homo.

No, that's different. That's like haveing really hardcore intercourse with the squid. I'm talking about legit killing, cutting up, cooking, and eating.

Suck my dick faggots.

To save money on food, I always just eat a bunch of icecubes all day. That way I can save my meal for later a few hours before bed, so I wont go to bed hungry.

Just a tip for those short on cash and want to snack on something, ice cubes are great.

This board is starting to feel like /v/. Soon I will have nowhere else to go.

>>9555485
he's actually called "that feel guy"

I have to agree with the british guy, fortunately I never leave, and have my own kettle so it's not something that actually effects my life.

But it's weird, all the same. Surely they need to boil larger amounts of water than their microwaves can hold from time to time.

How is it false flag? You do realize that this whole conversation transpired from a /v/ user saying "bro" in this very thread, right? Nobody brought up anything regarding the new /jp/ until the said person made it obvious that it was his first week here.

>>9555561
>implying my rent isn't completely subsidized

Step it up niglord

>>9555551

Something like that.

>>9555569
He wasn't a /v/ user, I think. Bro is just a general term. You could've just told him to not say bro instead of making it feel time central in the NEET thread.

>>9555579
It's just as bad as feels and any other filth related to that hole.

>>9555583
I don't think he was doing it intentionally though. These posts definitely are.

It's been amusing watching the handful of shitposters desperately squirming, and pretending the userbase is in any way upset about the fact a mod actually looked at this board for a second.

>>9555555

sapporo ichiban is the best, as the name may imply, but I don't know if you can get it under .50 a pack. There is cheaper food that won't give you a heart attack after a week straight of consumption, such as rice. You can get a 25 pound bag for very little money.

On the topic of food.
Yes, actually cooking is hard, requires work, and is incredibly bothersome to do when you are notably tired and or depressed.

However, would also advice attempting to bake bread as was mentioned above.
It's incredibly cheap in comparison, just make alot of it at once. And even if you are bad at making bread it should still in most cases become edible. (just don't fret if you were to somehow end up with an actually un-edible mess, as stated above this is incredibly cheap, and thus even if you have to attempt once more, it may still very well be cheaper than if you bought stuff from the store. )

The only real downside is that you someday will have to try to muster the strength for it.

>>9555578
Please only use the text highlighting function to quote parts of others' posts. Thank you!

>>9556037
It's only really bothersome when you're really lethargic.
Otherwise, when you have the money and the time, cooking can be a one of the funnest things a person can do.

You get this sense of accomplishment when you eat a really good meal you yourself made. I haven't had the pleasure of sharing it with others though...

You should try oatmeal. Easy to cook in a microwave, and is cheap and nutritious.
It's better value than ramen once you factor in that it's actually nutritious. Since a bowl will cost like 50 cents, and it's an entire meal, you feel full, as well.
Buy oatmeal in bulk, put some in a bowl, add water, microwave for 3 minutes, and bam, food. Doesn't have the flavour of ramen, but you can add sugar and shit to it to make it go down easier.
I don't since it's too expensive to add shit to it and it's fine to eat by itself.

Plus, oats are delicious.

>>9557390
You should try looking at over-ripened discounts on fruits at local groceries.
I got a bulk of bananas for $1, just because they looked like someone beat it with a stick.

If you also try to look around for coupons, you can save a lot of money on just about anything. I recommend eating the eats with some type of fruit, since it's generally much healthier than most sweeteners.

>>9556037
Cooking can be good when you're a NEET. It's cheap, you have time, and it can keep your mind off things. It also means you can prepare a large batch and microwave a portion whenever you wake up.

Home made noodles are fun and they freeze very well. I find cooking quite satisfying and less depressing than instant foods. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOJy7i5t0co&feature=plcp

>>9557480
I agree. I think over-ripe fruits taste better too.

>>9555490
Very good idea. You can also used pebbles (washed, of course), stir fried with spices or sauces. Suck on them and spit them out when you're done.

>>9557672
You mean actual rocks?
If our intestines were a bit resilient, I'd be all for that idea, but judging by the pain it can potentially create, that's a terrible idea.

Please don't eat anything solid and inedible.

>>9557814
Did you even read his post? He said you should spit them out after sucking the flavoring off.

>>9557823
Ah, my apologies.
I guess my eyes weren't working right.

I will delete these two posts for the sake of decency.

>>9557672
Why would you do that if you have the money for spices or sauces? Just spend it on some bulk beans and rice instead.

>>9555431
You can't boil a lot of the heavy metals in the water. When boiling water, stuff like chlorine, haloacetic acids, and other chemical gases might evaporate. It also kills most of the bacteria or harmful microorganisms.
However, it does not get rid of the elements with higher boiling point, such as calcium and lead.

If you live outside the US (or even if you live inside and can afford it) I recommend acquiring a filter of sorts. It's a worthwhile investment if you drink tap water only, since long-term use can be detrimental to your health.

>>9557866
I assume it's sauces you get when you buy food at certain locations.
Lots of fast-food places have places where you can grab as many sauces as you like. Ketchup is an especially fascinating commodity at burger joints.

I personally like to get a single order of small fries, and grab as many packets as I can without trying to be obvious I'm taking a lot. I'm sure they wouldn't say anything, but I don't want them to stare at me wrong.

There's plenty of cheaper ways to do things and get things for free, but using this tactic, I have never run out of ketchup or mayonnaise.

Any Australian NEETs? Any tips for living cheap in Aus? I see all the other anon in this thread talking about food that is so cheap, whereas the nearest I can find is ramen at 99c a packet.

>>9555431
Limescale isn't toxic. The reason that hot water from UK taps is usually bad is that it's preheated, not heated on demand.
Although in houses with boilers it's preheated. Depends on the hot water situation in the house.

UK water is heavy in minerals, completely non-toxic, but they'll limescale up kettles and such.
Tap water is fine.

>>9558017
To add: Tap water is more than fine. There's much more regulation and quality control on tap water than there is bottled water in most countries. Unless it's something like the ukrainian countryside or something.

I had some of this the other day and it was really good. it costs over $1 but if you're going to be cheap you might as well just eat oats and beans. I can't eat maruchan shit after having the good stuff.

Anyone tried these? I've had a few packs before and they've been better than anything else that I can easily get. I'm thinking of getting a 30 pack of them so I don't have to worry about what I'll eat for a while. It sounds cliche, but has anyone actually done something like that?

>>9558101
I see mama, and the other varieties of shiny-packaged noodles everywhere (aus). But I've never tried them personally. Would you say they are better than Nong Shim Shin Ramyun or Indo Mi Mi Goreng? (If you've had either)

>>9558115

Not him but I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like Mi Goreng. I find it too dry.
This one is my favourite, you should be able to find it in any Australian supermarket that stocks Shin Ramyun.

>>9558115
I've only had Nong Shim, and I've gotta say I like the Mama Tom Yum flavor more. The flavors aren't really that comparable. The Tom Yum's got a nice heat (not too much though) with a really nice lime flavor that I haven't tasted in any other types of ramen. I gag when I taste anything fishy but even though the Tom Yum flavor is supposed to be shrimp I couldn't detect any at all. I even prepared another pack right after the first. The noodles are just normal.

Overall they're my favorite ramen so far.

>still eating ramen
I can survive healthier and cheaper on oats and veggies for a longer time. Enjoy your health problems, faggot.

>>9558203
It's all about convenience. I''ve been feeling too lazy to leave my room for food and I especially can't be bothered to cook myself something. I have a water dispenser in my room so it would be perfect.

>>9558212
Add that water to some oats or soak some lentils, Mr. Gay.
Or eat them raw.

>>9558249

/fit/ health elitists pls go.

What are the chances that I'll be able to purchase a NEET female?

I want to own a person of the opposite sex. I would say, "I only want attractive ones", but I have very unusual, even counter-intuitive tastes.

I could make them play video games with me, make them eat the delicious food I cook, force them to wear the frilly outfits I create. I could also seduce them. I'm not really interested in 3D women, but the prospect of teasing someone until they're consumed by a mindless desire is very flattering to me. Also, I would like to fall asleep next to something warm which occasionally moves around, where I could listen to their breathing, and feel warm inside knowing that they trust me enough to not murder them.

I mean, no other women wants anything to do with me on account of my inability to trust other humans, but if I can purchase someone whose life would only be improved by my presence, I would be able to totally circumvent that obstacle, right? Wouldn't a NEET be content with just not being required to do anything?

>>9558203
Eyyyyy woah woah

I make mine from scratch with low-sodium ingredients, fresh noodles and fresh meat and vegetables.

Mind you I'm not NEET so I really have no say.

>>9558303
I assume that costs A LOT more than instant ramen. How much do you usually spend per bowl?

>>9558249
Oats and lentils are boring. We all know that. Ramen is a perfectly seasoned dish that varies between makers.

>>9558325
2 bucks? Around there. And it's a BIG bowl. Mind you I'm a cooking savant, so I'm not sure if it's a matter of skill to throw it together, or the fact that I just do, like >>9558212 said instant ramen is just 20 less minutes of work.

>>9558264

>purchase a NEET female?

Well first off, you can't call it purchasing.

It's more like a contract between you, a poverty stricken SE Asian woman, and a mail order bride agency.

>>9558303

I'm having a really hard time pronouncing pedonymous.

>>9558336
How do you get the noodles thin enough? Is it just a matter of properly kneaded dough and resting?

>>9558343
What things would Moetron do to that squid?

>>9558347
Yeah, there's a real knack to it. I use a pasta cutting machine and I wasted about 20 batches of dough before getting it right. Once you do get it right you can fold it up and save it for later, so I make lots.

>>9558354
Shitpost at it.

>>9558361
I need to try again.

>>9558343
Mail order brides aren't appealing at all. They're aren't in that position solely out of choice, either. I also doubt that they like video games.

I'm more interested in the ownership of someone who isn't normal, hence the NEET prerequisite.

>>9558336
>2 bucks?
That actually sounds very acceptable for one meal.

>>9558384
Buy cheap meat (which has less fat), and buy fresh vegetables from a farmer's market. It's all about buying in bulk when you can and planning ahead.

>>9558384
The best value comes in eating the same thing every day. Then you can buy stuff in bulk, and have decent food.
Sure it's the same decent food every day, but who cares. Better than varied crap.

>>9558384
Acceptable? I think it sounds expensive as a motherfucker for one meal.

>>9558512
What would be acceptable for you? If I'm preparing something for myself the meal usually costs between 5-9 dollars (dessert included).

>>9558519
>5-9 dollars
Lobsters aren't meant for daily meals, anon.

>>9558519
You eat desserts with every meal?

>>9558519
You can live of $1, and if you play it smart, you'll get the same nutrition the rest of the world country.

>>9558530
More or less. I get the urge to eat something sweet after I eat something savory, but usually not the other way around. Isn't it normal?

>>9558519
You're not supposed to eat caviar every meal, anon.

just weighed myself and ive lost 20lb
how to get fat quick?

>>9558545
Suck my cock and swallow a lot.

>>9558545
Consume more calories than you burn. Basic human biology, you cumguzzler.

Copious amounts of cheap beer and ice cream every day and you'll have jelly rolls in 3 months max.

I'm sure you people haven't realized it by now, but COUPONS. It takes effort to sort through them, but it can save you a TON of money.

It's ridiculous that such a market is untapped by the common populace. Only a few lonely single mothers and some liberal idiots take the time to sort through the rubbish for the real juice.

http://www.grocerycouponguide.com/articles/eating-well-on-1-a-day/
It's a bit extreme, but you get the gist though.

I like tuna and rice I put red pepper flakes in cause I like spicy.

>>9558587
I usually buy according to the ads/coupons. It's fun to try to think of something to make using mostly ingredients that were on sale.

Just eat foods with a lot of fat in them
it will get you fat in no time

>>9558587
That's some really neat advice.

>>9558678
Or should I say, NEET advice.

>>9558691
lel.

>>9558691

>>9558587
FWIW, those coupons for games consoles etc. that people sometimes post are pretty risky. Some American organisation distributes leaflets warning shop owners of counterfeit coupons, and about a year ago there was a PDF floating around where they were describing the "MANUFACTURER'S COUPON" ones. Not sure if employees pay attention to that sort of thing, though.

For BritNEETs, a few days ago I posted a link to a Tesco Barcode Crack. Unfortunately, Tesco seem to have had the page removed:
http://mtdevans.com/projects/barcode/
But maybe you can find it on Google somewhere.

For anyone who is trying to eat healthy and still be extremely cheap try this site.

http://budgetbytes.blogspot.ca/

It requires some effort to make the food, but I've been using some stuff from it a few times a week for months now and I feel a lot better than when I used to eat just ramen and other crap.

What's with the decrease in NEET discussion? I understand that everything is to be contained in just one thread, but it seems like the new a/q/ssibility to everyone regime has legitimately driven out everyone and replaced them with normals. Disgusting.

Why did you become a NEET?

What was it about your life that made you think that it can't be helped?

Any quick and easy ways to open a portal to Gensokyo? I'm broke and soon to be homeless so anything expensive is a no go.

>>9560179
Life is shit everywhere you look.

Also, on the subject of NEETdom, what are the best kinds of alcohol that fit into the NEET budget?

>>9560179
I never really imagined myself working at a young age. I always wondered how people would actually go about doing it. I just thought adults magically want to start working at some point. During my teen years, I had a few experiences that showed me the true nature of the system. I was disgusted and repulsed by its inner workings. Afterwards, I made the conclusion that 99.9% of all jobs are ultimately useless and perpetuate misery and I that I don't want to participate in that. Also, I really hate myself, so I don't want to leave my room, ever.

>>9560248
Vodka or cheap cider, at least here in England.

I'd honestly say alcohol is something you shouldn't skimp on, though. Buy your clothes from supermarkets. Skip showers to save water bills. But alcohol? Buy something nice. You deserve it.

>>9560179
I had four surgeries over the course of two years after being diagnosed with IBD and realized that time is too valuable to be wasted in employment or education.

My entire internet identity is built around obscure memes from foreign websites and the ramblings of people who died years ago.

The changes moot is making to 4chan are making it so that I can't inhabit the site.

There is nowhere else for me to go.

>>9560179
An overwhelming fear of failure has kept me a NEET for the past 4 years. I don't want to go into some long, drawn-out blog post, but I'll give a brief description.

I fell hook, line, and sinker to the idea that if you get a college degree, your life is set. Worked my ass off, made perfect grades, and then graduated straight into a recession where you need 5 years of experience and a specific college degree tailored to each specific job you apply to.

After applying to hundreds of jobs without one interview, I gave up. And here I still am. Desperately fearing any more failure and rejection. I wish I could be a truNEET, but I want money for manga and other stuff.

There were a bunch of other factors that contributed to my fear of failure, but like I said, I don't want this blog post to go on forever.

>>9560179
Because I've failed at everything I ever tried to do. It's like a gift. whenever I set out to do something I can already tell how it's going to end.

>>9560323
I agree with this. It's better to buy nicer alcohol.

I bought a cheap bottle of rum the other day, and not only was it hard to stomach, it left me feeling sick the next day.

Don't waste your money on beer though. It may taste good, but it's horrible for getting drunk.

>>9560357
>The changes moot is making to 4chan are making it so that I can't inhabit the site.
As if.

>>9560357
You're not the one feeling this way. I hope that fact makes you feel better.

>>9560367
Same story for me. It's absurd, really.

>>9560378

It does. I wish there were more of us.

>>9560179
Honestly, I just lost interest in anything. I doubt I could work if I wanted to because I get incredibly angry sometimes over really small things and I can't handle other people.

>>9560374

Beer and wine are the worst values in alcohol. Wine is particularly terrible.

In the US your best bet is bourbon. You can get a 750 of something reasonably decent, like Sam Houston, for like $25.

On the subject of drinking, sometimes people in our position can't go for something nice. I would recommend Old Crow for the best cheap drink. It's a $7 bourbon that only makes you as sick as a $15 bourbon. It's not the best choice but it is the best cheap choice.

>>9560179
I don't want to work and I like to smoke weed. I can smoke weed and not work by being a neet. That simple.

420 4 lyfe brother

Can somebody explain to me the difference between NEET, TRUENEET, TRUNEET, and TRUNIHT?

>>9560625
I consider a 15$ bottle of vodka (Столичная) to be a splurge, and very drinkable by itself.

Strange, even the cheapest of rum tastes well when mixed. The biggest probem for me is finding places that sell in large quantities, but for a lower price. 750ml bottles last only 2 days maximum for me.

>>9561049
NEET= doesn't want to work
truNEET=Doesnt want to work and shit on the floor

>>9561049
>Truniht

The hero /jp/ deserves.

200ml bottles of old smuggler (40%) have the best value for me. I hate it but it gets me drunk fast

I'm not a NEET by choice, I have severe social anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. And it's terrible.

Its shitty when you can't answer the door out of fear, or have to leave the windows closed during the summer because you are afraid people will see open windows and know you're home.

Postman came to my door and i nearly shit myself.

>>9560367
I know that feelio broskidillio.

In my case it's just me being chronically uninterested in stuff after maybe a few weeks to a few hours to a few minutes into it. It's either too much work, too much dedication or just not fun any more. The psychboys down at the lab think it's just major depression, but I think depression is only a side effect of my true brain problem.

>>9561049
Hello new poster! I am guessing you arrived here from /v/, after /q/ enforced their new policy on this board. Regardless, welcome!

In /jp/, we have multiple keywords in usage, but you have to understand that they are ultimately meaningless, so don't take them too seriously. Nevertheless, prepare for /jp/ducation!

>NEET
A person who doesn't do anything but shitposts on /jp/ all day. Goes outside and does things, albeit rarely. Little to no friends. May have piss bottles.

>truNEET
Upgraded version of a NEET. No friends. Floor shitting and piss bottles. Frequency of going outside approaches zero.

>trueNEET
An alternate version of truNEET. This type creates tulpas and experiments with substances. Also known as insaneNEET.

>hikikomori
Never goes outside, ever. Complete loss of emotion.

>truHIKKI
Lies in bed all day. Doesn't even use his computer. Blankly stares at the ceiling every single day until death.

There are also emotional branches, such as

>truDEPRESSED
Depressed, but the legitimate kind. In order to have this status, you have to have been depressed from a very young age and have had no friends all throughout life.

Let me know if you need more helpful tips on this board!

We accept everybody.
We follow the rules.
We are /jp/.

>>9561108
I was making a pun because Truneet when said, sounds like Truniht.

>>9561117
I was looking for this image, thanks.

>>9561126
I'm sorry, but that term is obsolete.

>>9561108
You never explained TRUNIHT.

>>9561122
Don't you dare use it.

>>9561134

>>9561134
No, because I wanted to remember what exactly the red hair man was saying in the bottom right. I really find that quote funny. When I would go from thread to thread, I would say.

>What is it that you're frustrated about?

That was my attempt to remember what the red hair guy said. Now I know that it's

>What I want to ask is, what are you angry about?

It's perfect. I like it. No, I love it.

I don't want to get personal but I was put on money a few months ago and it's time to move out. I have no idea what I'm doing but I found a bach/studio in a secured high rise, with utilities. It has a Costco and other stores near it. $650 a month, and I get $800 a month. Is this okay or should I look for a place cheaper.

Closet apartments(not sure what to call those) aren't listed online. I have pretty bad anxiety so I haven't looked locally.

>>9561143
>the red hair man

I don't want to do things that I don't want to do.

>>9561145
Basements. Go to Kijiji and look for people who are renting theirs out. Cheapest places you will find.

>>9560351
What degree was it?

I recently turned 19 and realised i've never actually drank before. I'm planning on buying some vodka or beer or something later on.

What's it like being drunk?

>>9561239
Like everything is made of happy, yet the room around you just won't stay still.

>>9561239
There are 2 levels
1. You feel good and relaxed
2.Your head hurts and you want to puke.

>>9561239

It's very fun at the start. After a few years of drinking it stops being fun though.

>>9561254
>>9561249

That sounds fun! I'll try not too reach the second level.

>>9561269

lies

>>9561145

That sounds impossible. I don't know if you have a lot of attachment to where you live, but I am sure moving could save you a lot of money. I live in a very shitty part of the country but since I don't really leave the house it doesn't matter much. You could get a place with a couple bedrooms around here for like $300 a month.

>>9561270
You can't not reach the second level. If you get drunk, you will get good feelings, followed by bad feelings. If don't drink enough, you will not get either.

is my favorite

>>9561317
Will also be the premature death of you

>>9561306

Now I don't know what to do, I guess i'll just drink until my head hurts a little. What should my first ever drink be? I'd prefer something cheap.

>>9561320
well I can't find it anywhere else. My mom is on some Eating to Live diet now so I'm eating fruit and shit since that's what she makes.

>>9561330
You won't feel the bad feelings until way later. There is no way to forecast them.

>>9561330
Avoid wine, it gives the worst hangovers.

Since you are just starting out, I suggest something tasteless, like vodka, mixed with the drink of your choice.

>>9561330

I didn't start getting hangovers until I had been drinking a few years. You shouldn't get a headache as long as you keep drinking until you go to sleep. The headaches come when you start sobering up.

>>9561305
I don't have any attachments to where I am. I'm just crap at everything, even figuring bus routes are a challenge to me. I've never driven before, not like it matters since I don't have a car.

I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack if I get lost and such. It's something I have to get over.

Only ones that I've found cheap and liked.

They are 15p.

If you're going to drink make sure you are not prone to alcoholism.

My father and mother are both killing themselves by drinking to death. It's a miracle either of them are still alive, their genes were good enough I guess, although they have many health problems and brain damage from years of abuse (they smoked too although my mother atleast quit that).

I know they are going to die soon. It breaks my heart. What makes it worse is that I drink too, and once I start I don't stop til I'm blacked out.

I try to stay as far away from alcohol as possible. But the need is always there. Its hard to stay away too long.

Find another outlet. Games, musical instruments, Tv shows, 4chan, anything else.

>>9561597
Who wants to live long anyways?

Best to take it easy and enjoy yourself.

>>9561621
It sounds like he isn't really taking it easy and would rather quit, but can't.

Only pretentious fags drink anything besides water.

>>9561642
That feel when you are just like me!

How do you make NEET dollars without getting on autismbux? I'm bored of drinking and I want to order something off silkroad, but the exchange rate for bitcoins right now is at around 11 dollars = 1 bitcoin.

I need at least 8 bitcoins to buy anything so that's over 80 dollars. How can I come up with that kind of money? Does anyone make a decent amount of money from doing online surveys?

>>9561653
Ask your mom for money lol

>>9561653
Don't apply for autism bucks, just the ``poor people'' welfare money.

>>9561653

>surveys

Haha no.

Forex trading is about the only legitimate way to make substantial money online that I know of. But it's barely a step above gambling.

>>9561621

Taking it easy is nice, but destroying your body through drinking is no way to live. Once you hit your late 30s then you will probably have better reasons to kill yourself.

Everything in moderation, of course.

>>9561691

>Forex trading

What's that? Is it like stocks or something?

>>9561708
Moderation is for secondaries.

>>9561763
Please stop bullying him.

>>9561680
please stop trying to force your epic meme

>>9561691

Is it even worth it if you don't have thousands in start up? I've watching markets for a while and it looks like I could make good money if I had a lot of money to invest. Starting out without a few hundred dollars doesn't seem worth the efforts.

>>9561784
Your existence is an epic meme.

So, has anyone here created a tulpa?

Does it really work well? Can I have conversations and romance with one?

>>9561739
The idea behind Forex trading is that you exchange your savings in dollars to some foreign currency, like Euros or Yen. Since the exchange rates between these currencies always go through minor fluctuations, after trading into a different currency, you wait for the currency you traded into to gain value against the dollar, then trade your savings back into dollars, netting you more money in dollars than you had before, then do this again with different currencies until you get a profit. Of course, it's also possible to lose money on forex if you predict badly on where the exchange rates will go.

Does anyone else cry when they finish an anime they really liked?

>>9562074
It takes a stupid huge amount of autism (devotion), but I've got the beginnings of one. From what I've felt it's a very distinct personality, so I imagine conversations will be as real as they get.

Number one rule: don't fucking slack off.

Concentrate every day, constantly think about your tulpa, molding it in your head, imagine it sitting in places or walking with you. Think of it as a person, not a romantic interest or a tool.

>>9562030
I always inadvertently put off finishing shows I really like.

Me too but not some gross neckbeard from /jp/ (or 4chan in general)

My older brother has gotten together with some swedish vixen from his MMO circles. He's lost his marital purity and seems to be set on a blasphemous path.

Why must good men succumb to lust? I used to look up to him when I was younger.

>>9562283
I'm not gross, and I'm not a neckbeard.
Sadly /jp/ doesn't have any femboys so it wont work anyways.

I just want a cute completely passable trap to hold and cherish ;_;

I never thought I'd say this, but /jp/ is pretty shitty without the shit threads.

More than half of the front page is inane 2hu threads that reek of the bad kind of autism. The only saving grace is the fact that C82 is going on right now.

>>9562612
Shit threads only mask the underlying problem.

>>9562612
All strict rules do is make the board accessible for people who only come here an hour or two a day.
For those who are here 24/7, you can't really take it easy. I've just started playing more videogames to cope.

/jp/ is a hellhole, that's why it's fun in the firstplace.

Very... very fun.

Why can't moot just love us

>>9562647

Moot is normal now.

>>9562647

Oh please, we all know this place only exists for shitposting 98% of the year.

Does anyone seriously come here for "otaku culture"? Take that shit to /gaia/ or one of the hundreds of other weeaboo sites that cater to that retarded crap.

This place is unofficially the last bastion for people who've grown tired of the normals and kids who have flooded the rest of this site but can't find anywhere better to go.

>>9562681
Well he was much more similar to us.

>>9562694
I come here for otaku culture. Even when the shitposting was rampant, I knew that at least the legitimate threads had a demographic with whom I would actually want to talk to.

Also, are you seriously implying that this place has become better after the new rules? You do know that the people you have been discussing Touhou with for the past few days ARE from /gaia/ and all those other weeaboo forums, right? You just shot yourself in the foot by supporting all the normals at /q/ in changing this board.

>>9562850
Why would anyone want to escape being NEET?

Has anyone ever escaped from being a NEET? Is it even possible?

>>9562858
If your support is cut-off.

>>9562850
I have, for a short while, but I am being saved once again from it.

After I shitpost we'll become buddies, isn't that right, /jp/?

>>9562738
What in the flying fuck are you talking about?

I hate the new rules and the tryhard faggots posting about /jp/ on /q/. Where did you get that idea that I didn't?

>>9562694
4chan is a weeaboo site you moron.

Christ.

10/10

>>9562889
Oh, sorry. I just thought that you didn't like the way it was because of the 98% of shitposts. Thought you were hinting at that it was worse. I apologize.

>>9562891
No it is not.

>>9562891
So you like Japan and Japanese culture and enjoy the posting styles of gaia and animesuki?

I know an eagle that would be ecstatic to kick your weeaboo ass.

It makes me feel better to know that the changes will drive away posters like you.

>>9560351
>I fell hook, line, and sinker to the idea that if you get a college degree, your life is set.

Why would you believe a fairy tale like that?

The myth that college education creates success comes from a time when most people didn't go to college. So they looked at the lives of the more fortunate and thought, "If only I had gone to college, my life would be like that too." But that's not it at all. Although it's true that having a degree is more useful than not having one, a college education was a manifestation of a privileged lifestyle, not the cause of it.

>>9564216
Not him, but my parents pounded it into me. I never really believed it, but I went through with it anyway because I didn't have any other plan. I failed lots of classes, got kicked out for grades at the start of my third year. Despite that, I still got a paper I co-authored published (yes, as an undergraduate.)

>>9560367
>>9560386
I'm good at what I do because I have about 18,000 hours experience doing it. Not because I'm naturally talented, not because I have the right mind for it - both of those may or may not be true, but the main reason I'm damn good is because I have a shitton of real experience.

Any skill of large value takes time to learn (otherwise it wouldn't be of large value.) Everyone sucks at everything until they've done it a while.

You have to really want to do whatever it is you do - that's the only way to get that necessary experience while not destroying your humanity in the process. I love what I do, and when I talk about it, that shows. Real depression can make sticking with something really hard. It sucks, I've been there, and I clawed my way out of it over a period of about 4 years (still working on it though.)

I hope you guys will be able to be truly happy - some of you might even already be there. Unfortunately getting happy isn't a quick process. Take it easy, and keep going. I love you, /jp/.

>>9555236
slowfag response, but top ramen is my noodle of choice. it's also good if you get some frozen veggies to throw in with it.

Instant food such as ramen is very low in nutritional value, and taste for that matter. The best thing to with noodles is to use the noodles as a base and then add your own ingredients to it. It's fast and is way better than bland noodles, it's worth 1 extra step.

>>9564216
Well written. I'm studying CS in a relatively good university and my life is a miserable mess. It's a fact that I'm performing academically better than most of the rich kids but so what? I don't know how to have fun and I can't deal with people at all. If I'm not studying I'm posting shit on 4chan or thinking about killing myself. It's impossible for me to imagine that I would actually be working some day.

That fucking feel when you suddenly read about random strangers your age (early 20s) already having studies overseas while I was NEETing it to hell and back.
Don't get me wrong, I like my NEET time, but I also like to learn new things, and uni is still the best way to take it easy as adult.

>>9564722
Honestly I think suicide would be the best option for you. it's time we start being honest with ourselves and realizing that our best days are behind us, and there's nothing to look forward to. Many of us will be waiting for you on the other side.

>>9564569
I was in the same position. Top of the class (sometimes) but outperforming the rich kids especially.
Then I graduated and realised that university is about making connections and socialising your way into jobs.
Shit just gets worse.

>>9564730
Sure, go ahead.

I'm going to the beach today.

>>9565038
The nearest beach is on an artificial lake. If I lived near the ocean I would be hanging out around it all the time (instead of sitting in my backyard or on a mountain). I wish my parents would let me borrow the car to drive an hour up north to a stream/swimming hole. It's nice there and since school is back in session there won't be many (if any) people there.

>>9565038
I went to the beach a week or two ago and it was pretty fun. I was worried because it was hot and sandy and there were lots of people around, but the natural take-it-easy atmosphere of beaches is pretty conducive to shut-in rehabilitation.

>>9566025

This image doesn't lie. Mama brand ramen is awesome.

I doubt /jp/ really cares about anything beyond enjoying ourselves right now in our own respective houses.

Anyone else here put Saurkraut or Kimchi in their Ramen? Unlike fresh veggies, they last a long time in the fridge, adds some flavor and nutrition (but also a ton of sodium).

I prefer the kind of Sauerkraut that comes in glass jars, for convenience, but canned is good, too.

My mom keeps barging into my room and taking away my trashbags... I told her to stop but she won't listen! I don't like change... those bags were in my room for a long time, they were a part of me, like my legs and arms... and she just took them away. fucking bitch

>>9566926
-get a lock
-put something before the door. It doesn't have to be extremely heavy, the resistance is often deterrent enough
-or, for this you should have started early because it's to late now, you should have trained your mother to fear your fits of rage if she misbehaves

>>9567263
Please don't bully your mama, she just needs some love.

Do you pay the bills? If not then it's not your house. And whoever owns the house can go wherever he/she pleases.

>>9567341
I disagree.

>>9566926
Has she ever walked into you masturbating? Mine did once when I was 12 and that was embarrassing as HELL but ever since then I've learned how to masturbate in secret.

>>9566926
Are you that same anon with garbage bags everywhere in your room?

>>9567341
This is actually extremely wrong. Even if he doesn't pay the bills, it's very important for a parent to leave personal space to their children (from 12 up), which includes not barging into rooms. And most houses (where I live) have room locks anyway.

>>9567361
>it's very important for a parent to leave personal space to their children (from 12 up), which includes not barging into rooms

>>9567366
Why do you not already have a lock on my door? Mine is (almost) always locked unless I am elsewhere.

>>9567349
>masturbate in secret

What kind of life is that. Are you from some backwater ultra-christian community?

Back when I lived with my folks I made it clear that I masturbate on a daily basis and require knocks on the door before granting entry.

My mother was perfectly ok with this and never pressed it. My brother sometimes cracked jokes about it but that stopped once he reached puberty.

I have a lock, but my parents are vehemently against locking doors. They get mad if I close it or even if I leave it just half open instead of completely open.

Actually I think she would be happy to find out if I masturbate, nevertheless I find it exciting to have to time my cumshots just exactly so I can sneak to the bathroom and wash it off (there's about a 2 meter hallway between my room and the bathroom and my room is just opposite the kitchen).

Then why have a lock at all? My mom only gets mad about me locking my doors when I am ill.

>>9567378
Then stop breaking the rules. It's very simple.

Did your parents flee Germany in 1945?

The lock is a part of the doorknob. It's the kind you push in that has a hole on the other side where you can use a paperclip or something equally thin to unlock it.

I used to have those when I was young. Made me feel kinda badass sneaking through houses and taking things.

>>9567424
The kind I have makes a loud popping noise when you unlock it.

>>9567378
You are in violation of global rules. Also, Jinrui is a terrible show.

I do not care about rules that people on /q/ made, I am not doing anything wrong so there is no reason to yell and persecute me. Please understand, let's do our best to get along.

>>9567524
>I do not care about rules
Then do not complain when your RULE BREAKING CONTENT gets deleted.

>>9567524
It's good that you realize that the normals on /q/ made a mistake. However, I am acting as if I am in support of their actions just to show /jp/ how stale this place will get when everyone is a nazi.

With that, reported.

>>9567536
sorry, to do this, but I am doing the same thing you are. reported for reporting your report.

>>9567566
Thank you. Together, we will take /jp/ back.

I leave for THREE (3) FUCKING WEEKS to move to Colorado and this is what happens?

What the ***FUCK*** did you goddamn nerds do?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I'M ANGRY

FUCKING IDIOTS

>>9567651
Yes. Welcome to the machine. I will report you if you don't follow the rules.

>>9567659
Who the hell are you quoting you dipshit?

Maybe these boards are more suited to your greentexting needs:

>>>/v/
>>>/prog/

>>9567666
What the h*ck? Reported.

>>9567817
Don't fuck with me, asshole.

Just a test.
