Well OP, /jp/ is my fav board and I tried to stop coming here two serious times Even after I recently got my master race PC and just surfed other boards boards and stopped wasting time on jp (what with all the 1000% increase in shitposting after the addition of new boards like mlp and vg), i ended up coming back cause the people are what makes jp. Wanting to be the, and NEET/Hikki stuff.

On to that, well, I never posted as if I was one. And I never cared too much after I realized there's just tons of faggot posers. I go to a community college and I socialize with a few friends. I used to have a lot but most didn't offer much/they weren't going anywhere with their lives. I'm too much of an individual to get along with other people at heart, and thus I only have a few people cause humans need some IRL social interaction or they'll get mental issues, usually.

tl;dr: i agree/think alongside what most Hikki's feel, as in finding little girls attractive (but I like older ones too, in their 20's now around my age). i dislike women cause their emotions and lack of logic stop them from being a serious relationship partner, but I prefer them over men. Ulitmately, I'd love to have a trap like rose (it's probably a girl, but there's no proof) and be happy with that cause she/he really puts effort into the reviews/plays games that are quality, is funny, and actually reads good books. You can't get these things from a girl. However, I think it's near imposible to find someone that awesome who will stay a trap and decent looking.

Thus I just will accept having some 3DPD that is physically healthy, and has a decent job.

P.S. - i wish /a/ would pls go with their cuntshittery. i would rather have jp intergrated with social networking sites if it could magically keep the posters out. any other boards are too obvious with their trolling and it's kina funny.

the other thing is, i don't want to settle on something that isn't quality. i been thinking about it, and i don't know how you can judge YN as good in the sense of it as a "game" which I don't think it is. the thing is, there's so much gaps and fill in the blanks, and abstractness, how can it be judged as "good"? what do you guys think? if you could have an overall theme, and good sprite work, and make 7 second ambient loops, i believe most semi-creative people could make something like that. the hardest part is really the sprite work, I think.

There was this guy in a NEET thread once who posted business stipends from his business. He made $11,000 USD per month breeding and selling Betta Splendens fish. Nothing else, just that one fucking kind of fish. He sells them over Ebay. He said it's like two hours of work per day.

It highlighted, for me, how much of a joke the 'slavedriving work standard' is. You don't have to work 9-to-5 if you know what you're doing. Working smart is working less, and I know you guys like to put each other down, but if you're here you're probably abnormally smart.

Like I said, the whole ordeal was pretty complicated, and involved like five court thingies. Due to my stretched living circumstances most of my crap was not where I was, so when they poked around it didn't look so bad and I claimed to still fall under the $2000 of resources limit. My caseworker and my parents got involved, and came up with the plea that I did file the paperwork about when I moved, and it just got lost in the system and what my new expenses were.

So I only have to pay up the difference, bewteen what's listed now, and what was listed the last time they confirmed. I'll still come out with a little tiny bit of savings when it's all said and done in December. But I won't be getting an extension.

making $50,000 year is better than being a ugly (can't afford to take care of your looks), unhealthy, and too poor to do anything.

with 50,000 you can do a hell of a lot. all you need for jp shit is:
- $340 laptop (but you can afford one for 500-1000 easy since it'll go along way, and it'll double as something u can use for school and such)
*it can do every jp activity: touhou, browse web, porn etc.

- decent vehicle that's good on gas

- wal mart clothes, and some decent designer top/overcoat

You can be on your way to living happier, and still enjoy your stuff on the side. I know this sounds sacrilegious but you have to try it before you knock it so hard. it's no question that this place is getting dumpier by the day but we still have our good threads here and there.

In the beginning of my school career I was the hated kid. (wasn't the bullied kid though, if only because the bullied kid isn't the one beating up everybody else) Wild though, and still full of energy.
As school continued that energy slowly diminished though. They had special conferences for me too, though I don't think they were ever scared of me, they only wanted to keep me from suiciding and stop missing school.
My advantage was that I was rather smart and charismatic, so even if I was only there like 60% of the time, never did any homework etc, they still usually graded me D or better, so I barely repeated any classes (only 3, one of which only for bureaucratic reasons). The teachers would often turn a blind eye or even create fake test results for me.

Possible. I have always had trouble understanding humans (myself included). The point is, by the rules, I would have been kicked out of school several times over. I wasn't, because the teachers broke the rules for me. I don't think they would have done that if they hadn't liked me.
>you probably arent as smart as you think.
Also possible. I'm constantly having my narcism and self-hatred fight bitter battles. Whether I feel intelligent or dumb depends on the day. I can say without lying that the humans around me consider me "rather smart", and that would be dodging the question - if there was an actually reliable way to determine one's IQ.

I got too old to keep that up so I have a shitty job now and I'm trying to get a college degree. It's surprising how much drive the prospect of being homeless and dying of hunger will give you.
I try not to mention any of this in threads out of respect for NEETs, because I know how it feels from back when I was one.

I don't really care. Im NEET but still have friends, thanks to the internet (= IRC) making it so easy to keep in touch with them. And to make new ones, even.
Anyway Im perfectly fine with the boards I visit having users more "successful" or "better" than me, actually I kind of like how hobbies can bring different kinds of people together. I dislike how /jp/ kinda hates on people different from the stereotype of a /jp/ user.

um...what? the otaku culture that we talk about here is NEET/hikki based i.e. stuff for people like that. Making fun of normals is what NEET/hikkis do, guy. Seriously? Like, can you even read?

It's just non otaku being upset that they don't fit in, and trying to get people to pity them and allow their presence.

I never understand fucking normals. Is this what autism feels like?

>unfortunately i can't take a train ticket to gensokyo just yet, since there's one person that would be really hurt.
But you can take them with you when you go. Gensokyo is a wonderful place. Of course you want to take your friends with you.
