I turn 30 in one week. I’ve accomplished nothing.

>>13752372
I was black at that time

>>13752392
Who says you need to accomplish anything? Taking it easy is unironically the secret to living the good life.

>>13752392
Never too late to start.

>>13752400
>Who says you need to accomplish anything?
Every single thing in society.

If you're not accomplishing things you're a loser. Or so they say.

>>13752399
>at that time
lmao wut

>>13752414
They only say that because it’s politically correct, truth is you’re a loser no matter what if you’re ugly and successful/respectable no matter what if you’re good looking.

>>13752399

>>13752372
yup
and in a few days, it will be the anniversary of 9/11 and anyone born on that day will become an adult and will have lived their whole life without seeing the world trade center towers.
in a few years i expect people to start denying they ever existed.

>>13752412
28 is the cutoff.

>>13752433
No one cares about your fucking faggot little event, shut the fuck up about 9/11 for one fucking day jesus.

I thought my life was a tragedy then I realized it was a comedy

>>13752372
>20 was almost 2000 years ago

>>13752372

>People born on 9/11 are a week away from being able to vote, smoke, and join the armed services

>>13752694
>the armed services
Just say army you bootlicking faggot

>>13752424
Kant says it's good in itself to foster your natural talents.

>>13752392
Because you’ve been on here for years.

>>13752437
fuck off ilhan omar

Nice literature related thread.

And not a single book that was written since then will enter the western canon
Really makes you think

>>13752765
>abloo bloo muh 9/11
Shut up crybaby bitch it was 20 years ago get over it

>>13752776
Do you have no life at all? No hobbies? No interests? Nothing going on at all?

>>13752799
Nope.

Unironically considering becoming a janny just to delete these shitty off topic threads

>>13752850
To be accepted as a Janny you have to be a giant fucking normalfag

>>13752372

>>13752420
I was a wigger

>The Ascension was almost 2000 years ago

>>13752739
>your natural talents
any books on how to feel where your talents lie?

>>13752414
>>Who says you need to accomplish anything?
>Every single thing in society.
Joker memes aside, since when was society ever right about anything?

>>13752433
I hate when people say that 9/11 was a "wake up call". Nobody woke up; it was a sharp kick to make sure we were unconscious.

>>13752863
What's stopping literally anyone from becoming a janny and just browsing like normal but with the power to delete threads? Do you have set working hours or something?

>>13753105
>What's stopping literally anyone from becoming a janny
Because they can spot the non-normalfag applicants a mile away. They don't want anyone but people in work/university. They don't want anyone who has more than a passing interest in anything. They don't want anyone smart enough to think for themselves.

>>13752998
I'm just saying, it's understandable for people to worry about not accomplishing anything when everything in their environment tells them they should be worrying.

>>13752985
Ideally it would be intuitive, but that's a little bit old fashioned. Just keep thumping your head against the problems in society that interest or outrage you.

>>13753429
>Just keep thumping your head against the problems in society that interest or outrage you.
why problems of society?

>>13753005
>>13752433
I'm not even American, but I think in the future it might be looked back upon as a major turning point in history, much like we see the storming of the Bastille or the fall of Constantinople today.

>>13753434
Quietism is for monks. Involve yourself in the world you live in.

>>13753459
Interesting because i'd rather to do opposite. If you cant live in reality - learn to run away from it.

>>13752435
28 is still a child. I know people who started a tech startup at 62 and is making bank off it.
Just do something then don't stop doing it, one you start doing that, you'll be golden.

>>13752694
And do porn!

>>13752812
Git sum

That's gonna be such a sexually charged day. How many newly 18yo zoomers do you think are gonna get plowed by millennials and boomers who lived through it? Can you imagine bitching about how the TSA and the Patriot Act have ruined our country all while plowing the fuck out of that tight cunt, as she looks at you vacant because she can't imagine a country without the TSA or the Patriot Act?

>>13753527
Imagine mentioning the TSA to a girl you’re balls deep in

>>13752372
>being in the year 2019
Wew am I laffin.. I pity you guys

>tfw you've turned into an doctor who works long days so you don't have to see your wife and kids
>when not working tell them that you are anyways
>spend your nights just aimlessly driving around and hitting the gym
>stopped cheating cause I got so bored by it

I wasn't even born then.

>>13753494
Idk I’m 28 and I feel that my life is over.

>>13753232
Listen you little faggot. I know you're all "oh boohoo, poor me, I'm shit because I don't have any achievements and I feel bad because society says unacheivers like me are uncool, boo hoo" and you'll probably say "fuck off tard, I hate religion with a passion because I am le cool original thinker".
But
Jesus Christ literally told people how to solve the very problem you describe. The Jews literally killed him for it.
>(paraphrased because you faggots probably don't like scripture)
>"Ignore society and any sinful temptations is pushed upon you, whether that is the Jews' porn, or the Jews' financial gambles, or the Jews' warmongering, or the Jews' political backstabbing, or the Jews' homosexual propaganda, or if society tell you you're shit for something you can't change right now. Ignore it all and focus on what you can start doing today to make yourself happy in the future. What you reap, you'll sow."
That last part applies to you: society tells you you're shit because you're an underachiever, are you happy about being an underachiever or unhappy? If you're happy, tell society to go fuck itself and do what you're doing. If you're unhappy, tell society to go tuck itself and prove to them that it's not too late for you by working towards an achievement that you want to achieve.
Either way, tell society to go fuck itself and do whatever you wanna do.
And go fuck yourself too you little pity party faggot.

>>13753569
What will you do anon?

>>13753531
Now you're talking! How would you bring it up with her?

When you are 62 it'll be 2053.
Think about that.
When that guy was 28 it was 1983.
You're still a child you sap.

>2016 was 5 years ago

The 00s were my long endless childhood decade while the 10s were the university and then where the fuck did half my 20s go decade.

I'm 28 now and my first genuinely great for my resume job will start in a few months.

I'm an ugly meek charismaless beta etc so I didn't even have fun. I didn't even learn to work hard.

>>13753607
I'm 18 you cuck.

I would start out by inviting her over or meeting up with her in some place private. I would start a line of humor and always respond in a suggestive and almost primal way, gently yet decisively shaking my head and bearing my teeth with blushed cheeks and smiling eyes. While her mind is frenzied I’d pull her close and being kissing her. I’d start slow at first and hold her with a tense energy until she’s wound up. I’d get sporadically faster and more animalistic as I tear her clothes away and grind my erect member against her invitingly spread legs. Once we’re both naked and the heat of our primal duty is throbbing in the forefront of both of out minds, I’d slickly maneuver us over to my workstation where I have prepared a powerpoint of how the TSA and the Patriot Act have ruined our country. I’d sit in my chair with her, cock erect and still throbbing, while I intractely lay out that the Patriot Act has subverted economic institutions by fear mongering. I’d spin her around so she has a better view. While I admire her voluptuous figure sat stately on my penis, I’d suggest that there are no outright identifiable beneits of the patriot act. The slideshow ends with a 6 minute video of the planes crashing and the news reels afterwards. My concluding statement would boldly suggest that enacting legislation in such a time detracted from the main issue we faced, and further points to a wide-spread sense of felt helplessness against threating acts. I’d remind her that it was in our nature as people to feel that way while I grab at the roots of her hair and ball my fist. I’d pull her closer and with muscles flexed, whisper the undeniable truth in her ear: “The jews did it” as I direct her sweat-laden hair to the monitors showing the falling towers. Upon this utterance, I’d bust a fat load in her tight cunt while using both my hair-grasping hand and free hand to leverage her weight more fully over my cock. Pulling her waist against mine, I’d wait until the convolsions finish, throw her to the ground, clap my hands and stoutly ask: any questions?

Only as a warning to future generations as a false flag perpetrated by a global governmental system that had fooled its citizenry into believing it was not tyrannical. Or like the Gates of Toledo as a fable to explain why people are still wary of a certain religious group.
In terms of legitimately eye opening, Epstein's suicide has literally converted almost every normie I know (except the few "MSM is the only legitimate source" crowd that are left) into a cynical conspiracy theorist sympathiser.

Society produces this mantra because it keeps people productive. If everyone realized the power of challenging this unqeustioned dogmatic presupposition, economies would crash. We are workers. Workers achieve things. A worker that does not achieve anything is not a good worker. One must be a good and dilligent worker in spite of the utter pointless contributions most people make outside an economic moral framework such as paying taxes of their labor.

>>13752435
I saw someone post here the other day that Melville didn't begin his intellectual life until he was 24, he published Moby Dick at 32, you can still make it.

>>13753854
but that's old even by writers standard

>>13753693
why even go on living when i will never have this?

>>13752392
I turned 30 last month. I too have accomplished nothing. The 10s have been the fucking miserable to me, and I'll never get back the carefree and limitless potential of the 00s. Everything's gone now.

>>13753919
nigger, at least you got to experience it. try being a zoomer for fucks sake and then you'll learn what real hell is.

I turn 25 in 2 months and I haven't even read Shakespeare's works yet. And I have to read at least the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid and the Bible before I can start.

>20 AD was almost 2000 years ago

False. you periodically get into an extistantial crisis between being tentatively comfy (but actualy just holding back angst until it overflows). The best thing is to do something you feel you made progess in.

>>13753943
Ovid and Plutarch are probably more important than Homer and Virgil for Shakespeare. I'm a few months out from 25 too and making my way through Shakespeare right now, you can do it

Comedy writer for television. Instead I’m just a compliance analyst.

>>13753986
unironically, yes.

This. When I was a NEET I had physical comfort, but did nothing except consume escapist media. When escapism is your whole life, you have a gigantic whole where achievement or at least work should be. Escapism doesn't work if there's nothing you're escaping from.

According to Erick Erickson, we need to accomplish certain goals through stages of our life in order for us to become competent in society. If not, then we become “stuck” in that stage and grow with it creating insecurities.
