/jp/, why is it perfectly okay for normals to waste hours watching television, but they consider someone who likes to spend his time on the computer or playing video games a degenerate? I don't understand! Playing video games and using the net requires a lot more interaction and thinking than sitting around watching shitty tv shows. If anything those lazy ass couch potatoes should be considered the degenerates.

Normalfags are insecure. They believe that liking and playing as cute girls as a sign of weakness.

They like watching huge and strong athletic men chasing a single ball and think that watching them make you manly.

It's just double-standards held by insecure people who are content to just stick with the mainstream.

Don't watch anime, watch real TV like Jersey Shore.
Don't play JPRGs, play a real game like Call of Duty.

You shouldn't have to worry about it as long as your Tou-Bros on /jp/ have got your back, which will hopefully be always. You also shouldn't have a knee-jerk fear of being yourself, since there are surprisingly open-minded people who still for whatever reason subscribe to these mainstream tastes.

Yeah, no. There are a handful of people like the stereotyped bronies but as long as they're separate and don't cult together, their personalities won't do any damage. I'm not going to go into detail describing it, but I find them better individually than the /jp/ blackknight as an individual. As long as they don't form a brand they're a healthy part of the ecosystem.

You have to get inside the normalfag's head. They're animals.

Imagine Touhou. It's rare for a normalfag to have ever heard of it. If a normalfag sees you play it they will make fun of you. Now say tomorrow Kanye (or whoever) says Touhou is the best shit ever. Now Touhou goes viral. That same normalfag who made fun of you for playing Touhou will be playing it and loving every minute of it.

Get it? See how normalfags work? It's perfectly fine for them to watch television or computer all day.

A "mainstream" person seeing something strange always results in a polar reaction. It's not always negative. Then when it changes strangeness they usually change opinions or go neutral. If it changing from strange to not-strange doesn't have an effect on them, they're a step above their peers in terms of prime righteousness.

Did you just tell your group of "friends" at school how you spend all your time on 4chan and masturbating to drawings? Otherwise, they don't think this. Normals don't care about others, so stop thinking they care about how much time you spend on the computer. But of course, if you go singing about how superior you are for spending all your time on the computer, they'll think that you're a fucking retard.

Complaining about this doesn't make any sense. Why do you people care?

I don't socialize with other people and I stay inside doing the things I enjoy. No one says these things to me because I don't talk to other people.

For you to be bothered by the things that normal people say to you then that must mean that you socialize with normal people on a frequent enough basis that they are able to critique your lifestyle.

Why do you do that? If you sit down next to a pile of snakes then you can't complain when they bite you. It's the same thing.

There are many ways to make money which can be done through the internet and require little to no socialization.

If you had used your NEET years wisely then you could have learned a skill and used that to make money online without needing to become a wage slave.

Making money online is not easy. Much of it is centered around making other people think they can make money online if they pay you.

You also compete with Indians who will drink your urine for 10 cents when you're working online.

Still requires a bit of know how though.

Sorry but I don't believe you. When the SSI guys get you a prescription they will test you every once in a while to make sure you're actually taking the drugs. If they can't find any trace of them in your bloodstream, they will kick you out of the program, and if they do find it but notice that you're still ill, they will increase the dosage little by little. When the dosage gets too high, they will open a investigation to find out why it's not having any effect. And if you lie and tell them that the drugs helped you get better, eventually you will get kicked out of the program too for not needing it anymore. It's not possible to stay on SSI infinitely for having a condition that needs treatment, unless you have a incurable disease, something like AIDS maybe.
Also, some states make it a requirement for SSI applicants to have contributed taxes into the system for a specific number of years before applying
