I didnt know a pony board existed wtf why would you show me this?

Holy fucking shit

>>17584081
It was done as a way to stop pony posting. The one time a containment board actually worked.

>>17584081
>>17584074
Wanna hear the funniest part? The pony board has more writing and focus on writing than /lit/

>>17584091
Okay, but why tf do those people exist? How is this allowed in a society?

You really are a newfag. 4chan is the internets containment site.

That's true, /mlp/ has written multiple fanfic books which are longer than all of the writing /lit/ has produced combined.

>>17584179
Lots of people here write so I doubt it.

That was before Gardnerposters saved it.

/jp/ exists so no.

>>17584193
Hard to gauge, they have a board full of writing threads which are filled daily, but I assume many of us write daily and we just don’t post it on the board. I’d say they definitely have written more FOR THEIR BOARD than we have.

Honestly I think the worst blue board on the site is /co/. Their mods are insane petty tyrants who will ban people for the most random things, and the average /co/ user is an extremely insufferable bog-standard Democratic Party voter. I'm more right-wing myself, but I'd genuinely rather hang out with /lit/'s unironic communists than ever hang out with the average /co/ user these days.

>>17584056
I'm fairly new here but /lit/ is by the far the best board on 4chan as far as I can tell
>/tv/ and /pol/ are dogshit
>/x/ is retarded
>/a/ and /v/ are boring

>>17584056
The worst boards can be measured by their white supremacists/chud frequency. A loud minority here, left unchecked, they’ve drawn more of their sort over time. Hence the increase in empty memer crap, trad-cath-fash larps, and general non-readers ragging on core litizens

>>17584056

>>17584246
The worst boards can be measured by your presence.

I have been posting on /a/ for almost a month now, and it is so much more enjoyable, laid back and relaxing I rarely come here anymore.
I wish /lit/ had more generals that would form their own incubation enviroments free form the toxic elements of bait/ twitter screencap, etc. threads in the catalog.
Similarly even /pol/ can be bearably if you have a recluse newfag filter general to immediately enter. (RIP /sg/)
I cant even say I learn more here than on a manga board anymore thats how shit /lit/ has become desu.

>>17584325
Eh some of their more popular fanfics get a ton of views/reading, hell I even see a pseudo-terza rima divine comedy-pastiche where the ponies go through hell purgatory and heaven.

It’s pretty funny honestly and they’ve been going stronger and stronger for years, I think it’s because the show itself has so little to speak of/discuss and they all like the vague/light world, they had no option but to write their own schlock, and as time goes on and less and less there is to COOMSOOM they’re forced to pump out more of their own OC. And again from what I understand it’s still a pretty decently large group.

Wow why am I not surprised?

>>17584348
so you are saying that the final redpill is to have an autistically limited pool of major influences, not only so you can quickly exhaust the amount of procrastination you can do for "inspiration", but also because you now have a genuine drive to produce something simply because you want to see it as opposed to wanting to "make an impact"

>>17584265
>I have been posting on /a/ for almost a month now, and it is so much more enjoyable, laid back and relaxing I rarely come here anymore.
/a/ is garbage. The only fun part about that board is evading bans and baiting shonentards.

>>17584056
True, I been trying to get anons to help make a collaborative effort to write a new dictionary and mods took down my post and warned me.

>>17584348
Why does Frater know so much about /mlp/?

Oh no, let's not disrupt the endless repetition of Deleuze memes.

>>17584325
They will be remembered, maybe even studied by future historians, but it will probably be for the strangeness, the board archives might be a widely cited source for most studies, maybe they will even call them functional, by the standards of this website at least. You gotta give it to the weirdos, they get shit done, even if it's MLP fan fiction novels. Unlike this great board, previously known as less shitty /His/.

>>17584391
>Why does Frater know so much about /mlp/?
Because he's a Girardfagesque autist that has way too many interests at once.

>>17584320
I just checked /tv/ to see what you're talking about and they were all Coomer threads talking about nothing.
I couldn't even find the Arthouse general, the only good shit on there; it was too buried and I didn't care anymore.

He is an obsessive highly smart autist. I wouldn't be surprised that he has some weird obsessions.

>>17584291
Nope.

Wrong.

>>17584391
/mlp/ is right next to /lit/ on the list of boards, it's not surprising that someone who lurks /lit/ knows about /mlp/ just from misclicking from time to time. It happened to me.

>>17584368
I know about it because while I was on discord, a friend of mine wanted to get some fresh blood for a raid, so he told me had a server filled with Nazi Bronies, so I go in thinking I will find the most turbo autists possible.

So I go in and I find that the mods know Greek and study obsessively the classics like Homer, and I’m just sitting there surprised that some of the best discussion I had on the server are on this place. So I stick around and speak to the smarter ones and shitpost and raid and so forth with them.

Anarchism is retarded, and the only one that could technically work is egoism and meme variants, but that's just because egoism is just sociopathy: The ideology.

i didnt say make /litg/ you fucking retarded nigger. 5 consistent generals (outside of /sffg/) up all the time would seriously improve a lot, especially by taking the steam out of the bait threads.

>>17584527
I think the only time generals are needed is when either a single topic doesn’t have enough interest, so much so that its lone threads would easily slide and then die, or if a topic is overwhelmingly popular and a general is needed for containment.

Example, poetry threads don’t last very long alone.

Fair, would a theology/Religious autism general work? It's starting to fucking annoy me.

>>17584539
Oh dude my time on discord has been odd, before I took off I had a server with a bunch of dudes all with a similar amount of study as I in various fields, I infiltrated the major tranny server that harasses /pol/ I found the dudes who bait /r9k/ I found hive after hive of thousand-men large schizophrenics, places which felt like old 4chan, places where they would cut chunks out of their limbs and record and post it. So many oddities. Most of the oddest servers either require an invite and aren’t advertised, or they’re really odd and niche interests.

/his/ is far worse.

>>17584630
I don’t think so, it’s too massive. Religion/philosophy could take up a small board by itself.

>>17584423
>I couldn't even find the Arthouse general
Not him but there you go >>>/tv/146827455

/tv/ is just reddit with more racial slurs

>>17584527
Generals kill original threads with endless repetition of the same insular topics and memes. it neuters discussion within due to exhausting topics and erases it without because will seek out (or be directed to) the "appropriate" thread to post it. Generals have killed plenty of boards, most notably /int/. If you want an example of cancer caused by generals on /lit/ then look no further than the all-caps tripspreg pedophile that the spanish general lured here.

>>17584630
>Fair, would a theology/Religious autism general work?
Those are infinitely more interesting than any of the Philosophy threads.

Butter why do you even react back after all these years.

>>17584539
You might be on to something.
It would probably be boring because reading the book would be a simulation of a simulation. Ready Player One got away with it by having the kid in a matrix-like thing where fantastical nonsense occured. A whole book of a guy sitting at a fucking computer reading text and memes would only shine a light on just how pathetic our lives have become.
Again, you might be on to something.

>>17584714
You do someone once posted an online ad looking for someone to eat... And then they met up, and he killed and ate him.

>>17584664
I mean I believe anarchism, in general, is a huge fucking meme, some are funnier than others, like fascist anarchism, or queer anarchism, I don't know, I feel like it's overly naive, like a relative of mine who was communist once described it.

Is /lit/ the only board that encourages avatarfagging?

>>17584734
Do know*. Might add the act was completely voluntary.
Basically everything exists in the net, I'm just surprised it's on discord now.

>>17584056
This board seems by far the least retarded on average to me. /g/ is sometimes alright but mostly just full of pedophiles and the same 3 bait threads over and over now.

>>17584699
There are tons of crony stories on YouTube about deepweb and shit like that. But still there is nothing which is of a literary merit.

>>17584746
Are there any on /lit/?

>>17584633
Bruh, really? Truly, please tell me you can't be serious, you are the king of autism, Jesus fuck, if it's true that I wish it isn't, write a fucking book, but don't market it, the media will probably have an internet shut down over the contents, Jesus christ.

Marxist-Leninists always think this, about everyone even. They’re ivory tower snobs that think China is doing really well.
Anarchists are capable of embracing large sections of the population and actually advocate a rational well defined alternative that works for all. Loners, communal, environmentalism. It can work, it will just take a little more effort than I’m sure people will give.

>>17584814

>>17584714
>What the actual fuck......cutting chunks? What the fuck. I don't fucking believe this.

Oh dude, let me explain. my trolling/raiding group once again infiltrated a tranny group (we would usually infiltrate basically cults or look for pedophiles, collect dox information and then usually give it to authorities or scare them off entirely, usually destroying the cult/group, hardest we went was a military medic satanist who was going for a 13 year old.) anyways, they were trying it convince this dude that he could take his knife and just go ahead and castrate himself at home. So while I’m edgy enough to troll I obviously told the dude to get away, since he’s going to kill himself.

One of these dudes posts a video with name and everything, cuts a chunk out of themselves goes pretty deep, puts it in a pan, cooks it and then eats it. Not enough to remove their leg but still a chunk, all to convince someone to cut their genitals off.

Discord has a shit reputation but you sometimes in rare times normal cool folks, the rest of the time it’s a similar feeling (for me at least) like watching mister metokur or kiwi farms. I’ve left discord basically just to read more.

>>17584578
I always find it strange that people browse /qa/

>>17584800
Oh dude really, I don’t think I would write a book about it but I mean, that shit still goes on. If you spend some time in discord you’ll find a ton of freaky stuff. Key is you gotta make a little safe zone server where you and the lads search for weirdos.

>>17584656
I can't stand that guy. No one can. Fuck. Even without a trip you would know it was him.

>>17584845
It's sfw old /b/

>>17584842
Fuck and yet I got bans for being in moderately right wing political servers. What the fuck
>(we would usually infiltrate basically cults or look for pedophiles,
You should look into CORE. its a sissy hypno tranny cult on discord and tumblr. Its pretty well established and preys on a lot of people

>>17584860
Why hate?

>>17584800
By the way, creating that server with a bunch of dudes of similar study wasn’t easy but yeah it’s doable.
>>17584699
>>17584769

I think the only way to write such a book would be to isolate the stories and re-tell them as if they occurred outside of the internet.

>>17584842
I feel you are larping but I am also inclined to believe you, very sick people live on this planet.
>>17584822
My relative doesn't about china, he probably doesn't consider it communist, he lost and he knows he lost, pretty sure that's why he believes it's very naive if movements like his failed, why would something as utopian as anarchism succeed.

>>17584769
Yeah, I figured. It's like modern folk tales and urban legends. And they are less imaginative than ever.

>>17584870
Sounds terrible, if I remember I’ll tell the lads about it and see what they can do about it when I return to discord. >>17584880

Nothing to larp about, these are Nazi trannies if I remember right, one of the channels on their server was a compilation of all those articles about Nazi germany having cross dressers and trannies, which they would use as justification for themselves existing.

>>17584656
You know I heard this a couple of times but I never looked into it and I seen he recently said he’d make kids read lolita in the English class thread (I assumed it was just edgy humor.)

How do we know he’s a pedo? Does he just admit to it and I haven’t seen?

>>17584878
Telling those stories outside of the Internet would boring. Internet is the spirit of this age and a good artist must capture that. See the video Jon Rafman did for OPN and released it on /mu/. He is a post-internet artist you deal with this type of decadent internet shit.

>>17584894
I see, I guess it's bound to happen, why do people become living contradictions? Who knows, especially contradictions as regarded as nazi trannys, I once an Iraqi siegefag white supremacist who worships war and bases his ideology after a manifesto made by an Uzbek, it isn't as far of a stretch.

My no effort bait thread getting 132 replies perfectly demonstrates the point. QED, retards.

>>17584093
Don't do this to me frater, it is devastating

>>17584935
No one can resist a meta thread

>>17584925
Problem is, I feel the kind of stuff which captures this right doesn’t really lend itself well to ornate art. Example someone like Jreg or the various other meme based hyper ironic types are pretty popular and consider themselves as very artsy. I think stuff like that is very out of my wheelhouse personally and it has by its nature to appeal to various low impulses in the coomsoomer.

>>17584928
Do you have any idea how many Turkish satanist and Turkish Nazi pagans and jihadis I’ve seen on discord? I know from my Turkish m8s on discord that there’s a ton of Turkish only Nazi satanist servers.

>>17584936
As in that /lit/ is so bad? Is what it is, or concerning why I know such. I answer why throughout the thread.

He posts a lot of underaged girls. He doesn’t espouse it much as far as I’ve seen. Creepy

>>17584969
My blog is basically a diary, the articles aren’t written so that anyone else can understand them, they’re just my interior thought processes written down. They’re easily comprehensible if you study all of the occult and religious and philosophical and poetic strands I have. And I know that sounds cringe and pretentious BUT, it’s because the blog is written not to explain to others, just to contain my raw and models/structures.

I usually write a large post when I get a massive breakthrough or reformulate some part of my phenomenology/ontology, thus no time to write it in a way the normie will receive it. Just have to write it in a way I can understand in the most clear cut and precise way possible.

>>17584988
Makes sense, I basically ignore most image posts if they’re not art and if they’re not a meme/thread relevant. I also just ignore all posts in Spanish.

Eh, I’m a stubborn autist, writing and solidifying so much of ideas and opinions into lists, essays and so forth kinda immunizes me from the majority of rhetoric.

I once read siege when it blew up just to see what it was, they were shilling about how rednecks are good but they’re not edgy atheists and so forth, so obviously I considered it absolute shit and used what little I did read of it to mock siegefags.

That's the shitskin board

think of the pajeets as being like the immune system to keep out the low iq and the redditors. any experienced bizraeli will automatically mentally filter the pump and dump flavor of the week and the discussion about blockchain tech and its implications can be really interesting. there are some really smart fuckers that browse that board. the average person will take one look at all the pajeetery and turn 360 degrees and walk away.

/m/ is the best blue board for the level of knowledge of the average user. /lit/ should have a high barrier to entry but philposting has destroyed it. Also rec threads take forever to get archived and get posted very frequently despite the plethora of charts. /mu/ is probably the worst blue board because it's an infinite dick measuring contest of shitting on review sites that most posters seem to use.

>>17585127
>Just change hitler to right wing literature.
Shut the fuck up, board is still majority Marxist

It's by far the best if you ignore

>all /pol/ bait threads
/mu/, /tv/ and /v/ are by far the worst. I haven't gone on /ck/ in months but that's also a good one generally.

I actually think /lit/ is better than it was a few months ago. The Guenon spam has died down and these self-published books that are getting spammed instead are a pretty funny new meme.

I've noticed that /lit/ kind of goes through cycles. Sometimes it's really, really shitty, sometimes it's better. The trend overall is downward, but there are troughs and peaks. I think we're in a relative peak right now.

There were a while ago but they gone now

I actually wouldn't mind if fanfiction could be discussed on /lit/. Obviously I don't want it to take over the board, but a little here and there would be nice. Maybe a single dedicated fanfic general.

>>17585682
/lit/ has never been worse than it is now

>>17584093
I love how easy it is to identify the gormless outsiders by their implication that quantity is of greater value than quality.

Obviously, anon, they’re going to be writing worse stuff. It’s just funny that they write more.

>>17585061
Why on earth are you using /gif/ when /wsg/ exists?

Been here since 2007. Have spent significant time on (made my primary or secondary board over the years)

>/b/
>/v/
>/vr/
>/tv/
>/mu/
>/co/
>/ck/
>/fit/
>/his/
>/sp/

The only board that I never stopped using was /sp/. Even though it was far better 10 years ago (what board wasn't? /sp/ in particular used to have no flags and no generals. Huge change.) That leads me to conclude that /sp/ is a board full of people that don't take themselves so fucking seriously.

>>17584265
Filthy weeb. Half the threads are waifuposting

>>17584056
/lit/ is much better than /tv/ because literature is a better medium than television.

>>17586131
/sp/ is still a great fucking board even though it's not as great as it used to be. Years and years later, I still have a blast in the NFL and NBA Playoff gamethreads.

>>17586169
spam filters fucked /sp/. bring back spam.

>>17586169
Yeah even in decline I consider it the best board. Once you've posted long enough and on enough boards you can start to guess the average age of a board. /sp/, alongside perhaps /ck/, are the oldest boards I've ever used. /lit/ is certainly younger. /lit/ at times feels very, very young.

>>17586189
Oh and /vr/, before the rule change. Now they can discuss Gen 6 so the board is a lot younger.

>>17586156
Low bait

>>17586131
/sp/fags might have the lowest iq of any board. Their humor got old 5 years ago but they don't realize it.

>>17585737
Did you see the F Gardner ad with the butterfly?

>>17586202
On the contrary, they're far more intelligent than the average /lit/ poster because they not only realized the ultimate purpose of a 4chan board (wholesome fun with your bros) while also self-policing so the name of the board has meaning. Most boards only manage to do one of these things, and that's why people constantly make meta threads. I can't even remember the last time I saw a meta thread on /sp/.

>>17586189
>oldest boards
/diy/ is the 4chan geriatrics ward.

>>17586206
... noo.

>>17586211
To add to this, /lit/ is a board that has done neither of these things. It's not fun, and it isn't self-policing. It's a literature board where people don't read books, argue in bad faith to "win" a "debate", and where half the threads in the catalog violate the rules, but the jannies have surrendered because they are outnumbered.

/sp/ would never have a meta thread, nevermind a 150 post meta thread. /lit/ has one every week. So who's smart?

>>17584423
/tv/ is the funniest board on here because they all fully acknowledge that most media today is utter shit.

>>17586250
By that standard /qa/ would be the funniest blue board because they all fully acknowledge that all boards today are utter shit

>>17586237
Someone must’ve saved it.

>>17586250
That just makes them one of many boards who revile their board topic, which is not a good thing to be.

>>17586250
They revel in that without focusing on the good media that came out in the past. In addition they take the racism memes too far, not in the absurd edgy way that many of us might appreciate, but in a way where they use it to completely dismiss what could potentially be a work of art.

There's a reason why the most prominent meme they've got right now is an old throwaway Simpsons joke.

>>17586206
>>17586237
>>17586278

>>17586237
it is a butterfly but it's not a reference to you

>>17586315
I thought it was a rack of ribs. Gardner should really spend more than 30 seconds drawing these things.

>>17586276
>/qa/ would be the funniest blue board
It actually is.

>>17586323
Is it? Maybe I’m looking too much into it.

>>17586323
that wouldn't be very gardner of him

>>17586303
>>17586315
Oh okay

>>17586276
/qa/ is basically /trash/-lite. When a mod moves your threads there he's basically saying "fuck you."

>>17586315
Why else would he have drawn it? Assuming it really is a butterfly.

>>17586341
I suppose it is one because of what looks like a little head with antennae. But the wings are drawn so badly that for days now I thought he was eating a piece of meat. I'm all for simplistic crayon drawings but you gotta get anatomy right.

>>17586341

/lit/ is unironically the highest quality media board. OP is probably a dumb brainlet that got triggered by something posted here.

>>17586384
hmm. i have no idea how it works. i assume there must be an incentive for authors.

>>17586286
>>17586300
Compare that to /lit/ though, no one on this literature board actually reads so the overwhelming majority of content here is not only bad but boring. /tv/ knows that they don’t care for media so it’s just nonsense that’s usually entertainingly bad, they don’t pretend to care unlike /his/ or /lit/

>>17584746
Who encourages it?

>>17586401
I would say /tv/ is worse because at least /lit/ afford the possibility of encountering someone equally passionate that you can have a dialogue with.

/lit/ has actual trannies i've noticed so i stopped coming here

>>17586552

>>17586199
Not bait, browsing /lit/ has made me a better /tv/ poster. It also made me realize how shit most of /tv/ is.

>>17586401
Only problem with /lit/ is that it's slow in my opinion. But that allows for more time to research ideas before posting.

Personally, I tend to get exposed to more interesting ideas on /lit/ nowadays compared to /tv/. /tv/ does have its good threads on specific good shows. Sopranos threads and Twin Peaks threads are always comfy as fuck.

>>17586736
The higher the post rate the lower the quality. /lit/ should be 1/3 the speed.

For me, it’s the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, “Wow, three for free!” and the nice friendly McDonald’s worker laughed and said, “I’m going to call you 3-for-free!”.

Now the staff greets me with “hey it’s 3-for-free!” and ALWAYS give me three packets. It’s such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald’s restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I’m in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it’s delicious! What a great restaurant.

/pol/ was great before the 2016 American election, and /a/ manages to stay pretty much the same throughout the years so its kind of good. Surprisingly /vg/ has few generals that are pretty comfy. I gotta say that I miss the slow /lit/ of the past.

>>17584394
>>17584551
/mlp/ have a nice system where their generals are not active permanantly, but a new one gets made once a month at a set date. In the time that the general is down, they produce more content for when it comes back. It is efficient.

You are far more cancerous than the random thread on Turner Diaries or someone posting that the modern publishing industries focus on identity of author over content is poisonous.

>>17588409
Oh I’m aware. I’ve studied the depths of terrible fan fiction, got hooked on investigating the worst examples from a site called topless robot where the dude would find the worst stuff he could and lightly go over it, had a real SomethingAwful feeling about it. I don’t go through the dens of filth anymore really but I’ll occasionally look around to see what’s the big autistic project. Example that titanic sonic crossover that’s longer than Proust’s work.

Been there since 2016 and the board's decline is sad. A quarter of the threads are trannies idolizing 14 year old fictional characters because of their sexuality, its just creepy. /co/ along with /his/ has been claimed by sjw's.

In all honesty. I expect these places to all be shit. Misanthropy a bitch and Heraclitus was correct. Humanity isn't worth the effort.

However who cares though? This shit is all a joke. The absolute absurdity of the world makes me laugh.

Also all the stuff Frater is saying isn't even surprising. I expect there is always a time or place where the most stupendous people gather together and do things they value which the alien party would want to annihilate. Which is fair as they are applying their might to destroy such things with what they have.

I find no meaning to doing that though. I keep things to myself and /lit/ is only a place I use to get my results. Which is figuring out my virtues and see where they stand in the world.

The worst board doesn't exist per say, but the board I value the least are ones that are typically vain in their pursuits, but then again I don't even try to go to those places. As I'm not curious enough to value the existence of those on those places. It is a waste. I prefer to live life my way and no one elses way.

Butters also is an obnoxious clown. Not that I hate you. It is just an observation.

All of the anons here are fun though, for the most part. I get a rise from the absurd and whacky and clownish kerfuffles that arises.

It is akin to a basket of flowers having graffiti scattered accross from it. meanwhile having the stank of mustard sauce eating away at it akin to an acidic blast.

Basically keep being stupid. I love it.

/pol/ peaked with Trump and has been circling the drain ever since.
The final nails in the coffin seemed to be the_donald being shut down, qboomers treating everything with eschatological fervour, trannys gays and their corporate backers inverting puritanical morality into a sabatean frankist bachanal of transgressive sin.
These differing currents have coalesced into a uniquely American sociopolitical shitstorm which pervades a solipsism into everything it touches, and which has come to typify much of the discourse throughout the 'West', certainly anything coming from America.

>>17591914

Absolutely yes. People going into yelling matches at which Haplo has the biggest cock size is always a riot. I don't usually attend, although when I see a thread. The insecurities and rage brings out such a joy out of me. It is wonderful.

Although most of the time on /his/. The threads I enjoy the most is when everyone takes a joint position on educating each other and arguing a few points. Eventhough it sounds cringe, but I really enjoy the threads where people shitfling about which military strategian has the biggest dick energy. It gets to the point of homoeroticism. quite funny.

Not bad. I have some paperback novels which I mean to read, Dazai isn't hard to understand but I still need too look up words often. I also read a short story by Yoshimoto Banana recently and it was good, I might read some more of her work. Literature is a good motivator to study since traveling to Japan became impossible with covid, and it might be a while before there's another chance. It'd be cool to try living there for a while but I don't know if a job in IT or something is possible for gaijin even if they speak the language.

look into the Boston Career Forum. It's for Eng/Jap bilingual people who want to work in Japan. It's fucking huge and they hold an event every fall in Boston. I highly suggest you look into it, I'm sure there's something out there that will line up with your interests. Even if that's not the case, it's a good way to get your foot in the door to Japan.

I'm a uni student who's going to graduate within two years, so it's a really good spot to be in with this goal in mind. I was more or less assuming it would be too hard to find a career within my skillset (degree is computer engineering) but there may be something if I look I guess. Even If I have no experience in my field yet I guess I'll try that site's seminar this year and see if I can get some contacts. Looks like a good entry point actually

oh yeah then BCF is perfect for you. it's really more for entry level positions but you can get internships there too. aim high, you'd be surprised. my brother got a job at goldman sachs through it.

Your wife is cheating or has cheated on you anyway so might as well go for it, dude. Men make better women after all
