I woke up and stayed in bed for half an hour and stared at the wall. Then I turned over and stared at my now dead computer, which really sucks. I feel like I've lost a friend.

I worked up the courage to call about a job but there seem to be too many qualifications required. So after eating a bowl of cereal I turned on the shitty laptop with a 14" screen I borrowed from my mom and got on 4chan. Planning on doing that for the rest of the day.

And it's the weekend that my mom gets to keep my siblings so they'll be coming over and being noisey so I'll probably be sneaking some of her pills to sleep through it with. I should probably fap before they get here now that I think about it..

I appreciate the uniqueness of the experience. /jp/ can be very insightful about things, it has subtle humor that you don't often see on imageboards, and has an atmosphere of open mindedness. I hold a fondness for those good quality posters

>how many times have you been called a faggot, a moron or an idiot?
There are strict guidelines we impose on each other but it's there to help the board focus on otaku topics. Since 4chan is practically modless and janitors rarely help, there's no real punishment to people who shit post, it think it keeps people who respect the community in line, and those who are immature will resort to more shitposting.

Now who's ready to open the HELL out of those portals to gensokyo?

>>7819254
Yes, I think we can all aggree that /jp/ IS a wonderful place with wonderful posters. But it can still never substitute an actual friend, or social interaction, even though that's what a lot of your are precisely trying to avoid. And let's be honest, though, the guidelines are more to purge the REALLY annoying posters, rather than to keep the board on-topic.

There is still social interaction whether it is in person or not. The only difference is there is no judging other than what comes out of your mouth. Everyone is equalized, while in real life your looks/gait/voice/gender comes into play.

apples and oranges, why does it even matter what someones definition of a friend is to you? He could stumble upon an irc filled with /jp/ denizens and BAM he just got friends in his roster.

>social interaction
Now this is where you're clearly wrong. We're discussing things left and right with people and you're saying that ISN'T social interaction? Tell me how many deep and factual conversations you've had with your friends and compare that to any online board committed to it. People who are adjusted to the subject are better and offer more diverse conversations than your friends. Y'all are amateurs when discussing toehoes.

I guess we're missing out on some amazing experiences without true REEEL friends, like talking trash about our colleagues (I want to do this all the time) and being caught up in superficial trends, wasting my money to attend whatever club we be ballin at, or maybe doing fuck all at a mall.

Where are coming from? How did you find /jp/? Have you considered moving out of here?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7819370
The thing is, friends aren't as subjective as you like to think, there is a thing about actual socializing IRL that just cannot be substituted with internet discussions, and humans _are_ social animals.

Socializing isn't just topical discussion, there is a vast amount of elements to it than just discussion/exchanging thoughts.

And you seem to think that friendship revolves around backtalking, taking part in stupid thrends, and pissing money at nightclubs. Stupid consumerism. Honestly, I can understand how you could become so alienated, it's easy, but the thing is they're not all like that, and there's bound to be some people IRL who think like you.

And I came to /jp/ because I've been on 4chan for a pretty long time and this is a pretty nice, laid-back board with a fun community.

And don't try to act like as if the fact that you're alienated means that you're somehow above the 'normalfags'.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7819397
>they're not all like that
The majority is, we're guided to be materialistic consumers. observe what's popular, look at the disgusting social hierarchy everyone loves to ignorantly support, notice how we desire for fame and short term satisfaction. We don't have any form of a positive real life community. These elements create a selfish and hostile environment that limits our creativity and the content and intelligent philosophies we could be producing. It also holds us back from forming deeper bonds with friends, something you desperately love to support.

Look at japan, look at all the content they produce compared to us, we're so weak and misguided we don't know how to live financially independent. Fixated on getting a cushy job so our employers can sort out all that yucky business stuff.

So how come we can hardly draw, we have to retrace of a lot of drawings other people do, we don't value craftmenship, and our content pales in comparison with our japanese sister site? Remember, the things I list listed usually run online, but they also have offline meetings

>there's bound to be some people IRL who think like you.
Guess where they frequent? It won't be at your local bars or sporting events. They'll probably have a computer if they value quality social interaction.

Comiket and comic-con is a good western and eastern comparison. If we were competent our conventions would be filled with OUR intellecutal property, WE would be producing content instead of reselling obscure items from nerdy TV shows and films.

Don't involve this in the conversation. Seriously. Japan is no better than any other country.

And I'm not telling you to go to local bars or some stupid sporting events, I'm just saying that you'll find a lot of likeable people if you're just try to be open towards them, and trust me, you'll eventually find somebody with a lot in common with yourself.

/jp/er with 'actual friends' here. There is no objective definition for "friend". Even if you call certain people "friends", your relationship with each of them is very different. What I can discuss, what I can't discuss, what I can or can't ask or talk about varies per friend.

Online friends aren't all that different from offline friends. The biggest difference is that you can't always avoid offline friends, so you have to be more careful around them, limiting how free you feel in what you say to them. That said, I can't really consider '/jp/' as a friend. You can't really get a bond with someone if there's no way to identify them - it's repeated interactions that make you familiar with the person, leading to "friendship".

As for real life social interaction being superior, I strongly disagree with it. Even for real life friends, the most meaningful conversations I've had were over the internet. For social failures like most of /jp/, many things are better expressed in text than in speech. The ridiculously fast pace and complicated etiquette of real life speech seriously impedes your ability to have a good conversation. The best kind of conversation is a 1-on-1 IM conversation, where you can properly prepare whatever you have to say, and the lack of external distractions makes sure the conversation remains meaningful as long as both participants are interested.

Ask any of your colleagues if they are enjoying their life working 40-50hours/week?
Do you know why they are working so hard?
99% of the people working are motivated by money. They are working because they want to be a NEET(retired). However what they dont realize is they will be either
1) too old to enjoy their wealth
2) die before they can enjoy their wealth
3) having kids like Sudo wasting their wealth

From what I heard, people who have been working full-time for years simply can't go without a job anymore. Not having a job leaves such a gap in their schedule that they have no idea what they could possibly do with all that free time. It's become part of their routine to be a wageslave during most of their week, and people always want to go back to what they're used to. So even if they dislike their work...they do want to work.

I worked 90 hours this week and I loved it. The trick is to find a job where you actually love what you do, and then it isn't work.

I like legal work. I like working on hard problems and solving them. I like that when the shit hits the fan, I get to go into the war room, plan a strategy, and we move forward.

It's really stressful and my decisions have real and moral weight to them. Plus I love writing, calling people out on bullshit, and analyzing issues.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't love their work. A lot of people seem to do things just because they fell into them. For them, work is miserable and it sucks.

But if you find some area that you love, it's not work anymore. I think about work nearly all the time.

The money is good. It's more proof that I am good at what I do and matters for that reason, but having it is awesome.

I do like my coworkers and I love my boss. I love the problems I work on. I like finding people trying to undermine me and either getting them on my side or undermining them by surprise.

I was unemployed for about a year. I hated it. It was the worst time of my life. But having that time gave me the perspective I needed and the ability to manage a budget (living on 18k a year is not fun.)

But yeah.... I don't understand anyone who isn't planning, working, and striving towards spending their life doing what they love. It confuses me.

Hmm. I don't have a law degree. I plan to go to law school eventually, but I think in America too many kids go to law school without doing legal work. This is bad for them because they don't find out if they love the work until they've taken loans... and it's harder to get jobs because they haven't made connections.

It's getting hard for me, because going to law school will mean giving up my current salary to be a student.

My advice would be to explore test on positions. The UN Entrance Exam. Government Test-On Jobs, Etc. Most the people who try for them are basically.... mentally disabled.

Next UN exam is in October. State and Local govs vary by country. But these positions are a good way in.

Also, do unpaid internships that don't take up much time but sound impressive. They will help a lot.

Ironically, I have law students and lawyers working for me at the moment, because the legal economy is so bad. I'm almost 26.

But hang in there, it's one of those things where you just need to try really really hard and persistently, and once you get in (even at a not so great job) you can work up.

Yeah.

Look, a lot of kids who graduate go to law school because the economy is bad, getting a job is hard, and they believe they can ride it out.

There are about 40 or so law schools in the US worth attending. There are about 170ish law schools.

A lot of kids think they will make the big bucks if they go to these schools. A lot of kids graduated in 2008 during a bad economy, ran away to law school, and then graduated and the economy wasn't much better. So there's a glut of lawyers with no experience, many of whom are from "bad schools". And they have been lead to believe that their bad schools are good.

A guy I know mocked me for going straight into law and bragged about how much he would make when he graduated. He then sent me a facebook message when he saw an opening at my company and asked me to introduce him to the hiring manager while he bragged about himself a bit.

I told him I was the hiring manager. He thought I was joking. He submitted his resume. I sent him a thanks for the interest letter via company mail. He didn't get a job. He's now taking out another loan to get more education. Which won't help him because other idiots have the same idea.

The goal is to just get involved doing something and build from there. I have a good niche of talents and while I am not making what a really successful law student from a good school would make $160k +30k bonus, I am making a really good amount for a 25 year old guy and I love what I do.

I have a college degree.

I scored a 176 on the LSAT. My GPA is shitty because I spent college drinking and sleeping around and watching anime. I don't regret any of that, except a few episodes of Bleach. I won't ever get laid now like I did in college.

For career, I worked as an intern, performed better than my superiors, replaced a superior, and got promoted.

At the same time, lawyers became oversupplied. I had some working for me for... get this... $15 an hour. Because that is how bad things are.

Personally, I think we're heading into a double dip recession. I am stalling because I want to graduate in a good economy that will make law school debt worth it.

But once you're in the corporate world, it's about ability to execute. I am 25 and am senior to several 50 year olds at my job. The difference being, I care about my work, I love it, and I know how to execute.

But my point to /jp/ is this: you guys are generally smart. Often you get obsessed with small and trivial things. Find one that adds business value and find the right company and you will be fine. Try to let go of some of your hangups about technicalities or trivial disagreements and just find a body of knowledge outside Type-Moon power levels that you love... and sky's the limit.

Try test-on jobs because... well... even those of you who aren't bright are still smarter than the average person.

Australian here. When I take out a loan for a year of my law degree, its about 20k a year. I borrow from the government, the total loan is indexed to inflation, and I don't pay anything more than interest until I start earning 40 - 50k a year.

A law degree is 5 years here (undergraduate, you have to do another degree such as Commerce/Science/Arts first). So that's 100k at most, and I can find a job in finance if I want to, or economics, as many do (at the end of 3rd year).

Yeah. I just had an 8 hour conversation with an Australian lawyer.

We paid him $3,000. Domo arigatou counsel. Here's my kidney while you are at it.

One thing I hate about my job is that I always get calls from Australia and China at like... this hour. Worse is that our VP of Aus came to visit our head office and he ALWAYS calls me at like 11pm, either when I am about to get laid or when I am hammered and he delivers an emergency situation.

So he visits the US and I am out at a local bar, and I see this 5'1 girl and I have a short girl fetish, and we're hitting it off and I am thinking that I am going to see if I can get her to wear the cat ears that I have at my place... when suddenly.

"Oy [Mirrored] it's [Crocodile Dundee] here from Au'r'strarlia, 'ave you gotten a chance to review that contract? Ay' think those do'dgy bastards are at it again.". That moment the magic melted and the odds of me getting a chick drunk enough to Nipah went out the fucking window.

I love the guy and he keeps me employed with his huge desire to fight any and all legal battles that come his way, but Jesus Christ, he traveled thousands of miles just to cock-block me.
