My job interview went well, I'm confident. It was a group interview, two of the people were chicks who would lose to a mouse in a screaming match and the other was a high school kid who wasn't always available due to soccer practice. There are other groups that they have to interview but if they're anything like that group then I'm set.

>>22976573
I’m thinking of becoming an Oi boy

>>22976578
FUCK you, I am not going to kill myself.

>>22976573
Older self, so I could learn what mistakes to avoid in this timeline.
If I spoke to my older self 10 years ago, I would be a multibillionaire.

>>22976586
If you made this thread fuck you for this dog shit tiktok op, delete 4chan

>>22976589
And would your older self want to talk to you?

There was a cute girl at the bubble tea shop today, she was shy, clearly hadn't been working there long and kinda looked like Beth from Total Drama, too bad I have no confidence or game though or I probably could've struck up a good conversation with her.

I had too much sex, I can remember what everything feels tastes and smells like so now whenever I see women I literally can smell their asshole, I am literally being terrorized by the memory-knowledge of floppy labia on my nose right now. I'm trying to work

>>22976580
Damn dude what kind of job are you applying to where you're competing with high schoolers?

>>22976573
definitely my younger self. I was edgier, and basedciety tamed me. I often find myself remembering my own older thoughts were sharper and they are more correct. I gained nothing for turning into being a less ridiculable character and, lost my edge.

"A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!"

>>22976573
Younger self, let no man see his fate beforehand.

>>22976668
but then your youngerself would see his fate.

>>22976674
Fuck him

I painted my nails badly, I shaved my beard off, tomorrow I'll buy myself a bra.

I am am unironically happy with myself for some reason.

>>22976573
I'm still scared of my own works being a waste of somebody's time in the grander scheme of things, which makes not want to publish anything whatsoever before I'm certain that it's aiming for something higher on all fronts. How dumb is that?

>>22976613
Target. I'm never gonna be able to get anything else but retail.

Women my age (30) have hit the wall. I wish they'd stop talking to me.

Why are we cursed with attraction to others? It's such a drain on the mind to have someone else linger. Worse, yet, is when it is unrequited through whatever circumstances; yet, you are still plagued.

Terrible, really.

>>22976719
Lucky you, women in my area are hitting the wall at 22.

>>22976687
>fantasies about going to all girls school
>repulsed by vaginas
What? The fantasy is to fuck all the classmates.

>>22976719
I am so loathing becoming the stable nerd that past the wall bitches try to get affection from

>>22976737
This is a Bingo for MEF (Male Emasculisation Fetish), so it doesn't really work for straight men.

What percentage of /lit/ do you think you are smarter than?

>>22976781
90

>>22976781
100

>>22976781
At least these two
>>22976783
>>22976793

>>22976762
But it also says not attracted to men. So what's left? Other femboys?

>>22976580
Dude I told you the target job was guaranteed. By the way you're gonna hate working for target. They suck.

>>22976687
This will lead to suicide

>>22976646
>basedciety

>>22976823
Yeah well if I get the job I'm going to be a customer support worker and I assume that's going to suck balls. A job's a job though.

>>22976751
It's nice how the tables have turned. But on the other hand I also care less about women now so it kind of cancels out.

>>22976865
I don't want to fuck an unattractive woman with bad skin

It's so over for this board it's not even funny

Wearing a nice outfit gives you such a confidence boost, I felt great today while wearing my outfit, it wasn't anything special but I felt like I could demand respect and order people around while wearing it, I felt good, I felt like every chick I walked past was eyeing me.

>>22976730
I liked working in an alcohol retailer because I would card all the women just to evaluate to well they aged. Some girls were ruined before 25. Some women looked good into their mid 30s. Remember a gorgeous tall blonde milf came in with a teenage daughter who was her exact clone.

>>22976573
younger self and beat the shit out that retard he ruined my life

>>22976963
Nice haircut too. I was depressed and had really crappy long ratty hair. Got a nice clean haircut for a job interview. Seeing myself handosme in the mirror really affected me positively

>>22976973
Definitely. People underestimate how much of a positive change looking good can have on you. I like my hair long, I look like prime Barry Gibb when I grow my beard out and have long hair, all I need to do now is get some muscle and I'll wake up feeling great every day.

>>22976573
I would spend a day talking to an AI clone of myself but a girl

I think it unironically set me back years, especially since I didn't come from a literary family, that the kind of literature most obvious to me from the outside suggested that literature was little else but slam poetry in print, women being hysterical, and rich urban jews thinking and talking about rich urban jew things. Finding out how much more varied, interesting, and beautiful literature can be than it seemed to me from the outside before getting into it was like finding out that the awkward, dumpy girl you used to know from school almost a decade back had a massive glow-up and became a nine out of ten. You're happy to be pleasantly surprised but you're also kinda sad that you didn't get in on it sooner.

>>22976580
If target ever disappears work in security. Good pay and easy. And not working with kids

>>22977049
>work in security.
I can't deal with confrontation due to my shitty childhood. Any sort of violence or yelling makes me freeze up and want to cry.

>>22977049
Fuck that dude, standing around waiting for a nigger to nog you?
>>22977082
I had a similar problem but doing kickboxing helped overcome that

>>22977112
Yeah, I wanna do martial arts but that shit's expensive and I don't know how I'd fit it into my schedule.

>>22977131
Ive never paid. I just have friends who have trained and I meet them in a public park to practice with them.

>>22977138
Unfortunately for me, I don't have any friends.

YouTube has been recommending me videos with <100 views. Usually they suck, but there are some gems.
https://youtu.be/GOuOYgvBnh4?si=o_h7CONzdXgItE6g

>>22977147
I noticed this too, even Spotify is doing it. Honestly sites are overdue for shuffling up their algorithms

Only 2 things hold me back from offing myself
>it would ruins the lives of my brother and mom
>I don't want to anger God by taking my own life
>>22977082
Same. Being nearby when another kid got yelled at by a teacher made me jump out of the chair out of reflex. Someone getting in my face and screaming at me is enough to reduce me to tears.

I have an idea for an anime that I believe is ripe for success it’s not the kind of story that am into but I know weebs would love this so am handing it out: the main character has a average life a stable job with stable income, a family that loves him, friends, a girlfriend, is well respected in his community etc. but then he stumbles upon a group of underground mercenaries who make money killing bounty targets but it’s not until news broke that one of these mercenaries had killed a politician in his area that something inside him awakens and decides to ditch everything to become one of these mercenaries. A plot point I want is for it to become clear that the main char. is getting a bloodlust for violence and is seemingly enjoying the job a lot.

>>22977143
Martial arts is a good waway to make friends. Beating the crap out of each other builds rapport

>>22977182
Why the fuck would protag care about a politician getting offed? Flesh this out more, maybe close mentor or grandpa that's only once nice to loser mc. Catalyst needs to be strong emotion.

Why can’t I learn?

My dad is a demented old man. I realize that what lead to his decline was that he was a pussy ass bitch. Therefore the only way to understand my dad is to fuck bitches. Once I have enough womanizing XP I will absorb the matriarchal caretaker traits to shield my dad from reality and keep him in kid gloves jail until he dies.

>>22977215
You're seeking dopamine hits from the anticipation of something good. You just rolled shit. Try again.

>>22977215
u crave commubity

>>22977220
If I could go back in time and tell my innocent child self that I grew up to be a womanizing bully I would say, look kid, your dad IS A BETA BITCH TITS PUSSY. The sooner I could have understood this the more I would be on my own grind sticking to my own guns and being absolutist to the successful career path that ELUDED ME FOR 10 YEARS. He has been an absolute obstacle my whole life and only now is the public around me sympathizing with me now that he is a decrepit old man. Oddly enough his disability has liberated me from his abuse and control. I have never been less burdened by him than he is now as a giant wrinkly infant.

>>22977252
What did he do that was so bitch made you little shit

>>22977049
90% of security contractors where I live are dyel 5'7 Indians, except if it's something like a concert, then they'll have some designated big guys. If they can do it you can.

>>22977256
He kept me from wrestling when I was a varsity wrestler behind his back.
He kept me from boxing when I created a league of boxers and a betting ring around it on my own.
He plundered me from thousands of dollars in savings to thousands in debt with real estate fraud and deception.
He put an ultimatum on me when I was going to propose to the love of my life that he would cut me off and kick me to the curb if I proposed to her, she who I already called my missus (to which he winced and bitched about).

>>22977270
this sure reads like larping

>>22977274
What a charitable conversation, jew-san. Welcome to 4chan

>>22977270
Fake and gay

>>22977278
Whoa, there. Don't create a league of boxers during your varsity wrestling using your thousands of dollars, anime protagonist man. What does the missus think when you go all out?

>>22977293
Are you that alienated from humanity that you have never met an athlete zoomer before, neckbeard-kun? I am kind. Unlike you.

>>22977297
Never one who is an entrepreneur cream of the crop who couldn't figure out a way out of a guy telling him no. You're a unicorn on that front.

Afrikaans has to be the dumbest language ever.

>>22976751
I can’t wait for it. Finally the shoe will be on the other foot. Seriously, I cannot fucking WAIT to lead a bitch on for months on end to get money and time out of her and deny her every sexual advance.

>>22977713
isn't it just dutch

>>22977713
Pidgin is up there too. It’s at least funny to listen to so it gets that.

just woke up, im gonna go have a coffee and a smoke and wait til my paycheck goes in my bank then order a pizza wbu

>>22977731
Basically but it's a little different

>>22976585
Knew a few in high school. Wasn't really a fan of the music back then (my taste in punk was more early grunge and pigfuck and classic stuff like Black Flag and Dead Kennedys) but it grew on me later.

>>22976719
This is why you learn japanese or korean and get an asian waifu

>>22976701
You are fucking retarded lol, retail is for kids and gimps, get your drivers license and become a driver of some kind

>>22977756
>get your drivers license and become a driver of some kind
Lmao.

>>22977826
Retail is for the weak, if you are an able bodied failure in life you should drive a truck

>>22977840
how do you skive off work when you're a trucker?

if i enjoyed good old neon, will i like ij?

>>22977840
>can't get up for hours on end
>incredibly unhealthy
>mind numbingly boring, zero leeway for creative expression (unless you want to start murdering other people in traffic lmao)
>Have to eat complete slop unless you meal prep a lot
sounds great bro

>>22976751
That ain’t even happening to me at 41. Almost every woman locally is happily married with at least 2 kids

>>22977874
Yeah but you can have a half milly saved in 10 years, your body will break from all work anyway

>>22977713
It’s just mangled Dutch which in turned is just mushmouth German

>>22977892
>your body will break from all work anyway
Your body will not break from doing retail, it is one of the least physically demanding jobs you can do.

>>22977899
Retail is great for longevity and overall health. You get shit ton of steps per day with that shit

>>22977921
And you don't inhale toxic fumes nor spend your days in noisy environment (no, kids running through the alleys don't compare to the noise of machines and molten metal)

>>22977921
everyone i know who works retail wants to kill themself

>>22977889
Hahaha rip to the final cope then, women win gg

>>22977940
If you are not your own boss then yeah sounds about right

>>22977940
Is it shitty mentally? Yes, dealing with people all day sucks because people are shitty. Is it shitty physically? No. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

>>22977943
any customer-facing job (but especially that kind) has got to be unbearable

>>22977945
you can work in a warehouse & spend 3 hours a day vaping in the disabled toilet

>>22977956
Working in a warehouse is a physically demanding job.

>>22977958
you just do as little as possible

>>22977954
Not necessarily. I can imagine small music store, convenience store or electronic store and such being chill. I remember working in electronic store and it was pretty nice because it wasn't too big and the customers were all european

>>22977959
Warehouses usually have quotas that you need to fill.

>>22977967
generally if you're achieving 50% workrate anywhere you're good

>>22977964
electronics shop sounds particularly annoying to me

I hate hearing about people who were absolute shitters that turned their lives around and became really successful. For example, I know a guy who was a huge heroin addict for many years, a total deadbeat, and now he's a really successful, really rich psychiatrist. Like, really, you got to fuck around and do absolutely nothing for so long and you're still allowed to be successful? Not only that, but you're more successful than people who have done nothing but try their entire lives and not fuck up? I feel like this could spawn a really good stand-up bit but I wouldn't be joking, this shit genuinely does boggle my mind and annoy me and it's way more common than you think.

>>22977991
Why does it take so much less time for them relatively speaking? Like being a doctor is years and years before you are rich

>>22977991
i hate hearing about people who hate this sort of thing. they hate to see someone get away with something.
very creepy behaviour. worms.

anemia sucks

>>22978029
eat red meat

>>22978037

This is a real article published by the BBC

https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/cm50kjrxn73o

>>22978098
Retard? Pajeet? AI?

>>22978109
The BBC publishes in Nigerian pidgin because that time when they made the gold coast speak English

>>22978109
patois u uncultured yank

>>22978165
Forgive me for not recognising a dialect that I've never heard spoken in real life or seen written down because no one speaks patois in Australia.

A weak handshake really leaves an impression.
I still feel it on my hand, that soft handshake. Gross feeling.

>>22978182
how far is it really from having a city called wagga wagga ye cunt

>>22978184
the biggest power move.
a lasting handshake.

>>22978196
Considering one is a dialect and one is a language, a little different.

It takes me 30 minutes, sometimes more, of forcing and pushing and pain every night before I go to bed just so I can get enough piss out to where I feel comfortable that I won't piss the bed. My life is hell, I'm so sick of this.

>>22978270
Lol what is wrong with you

I’m being threatened with being fired because I refused to attend DEI training

>>22978270
Get your prostate checked, bruv.

>>22978270
What?

>>22978280
I'd go just for the bizarre things I'd hear.
I would not go along with it however. I'd be honest on my opinions about that training.
If that's ground for firing so be it.

>>22978276
>>22978282
>>22978284
Urethral stricture.

>>22978290
Did you sound too hard?

>>22978290
I see. How did this happen to you?

>>22978300
I have no idea, it just showed up a couple of years ago but back then it wasn't too bad, it was barely noticeable, unfortunately now it's gotten a lot worse. I went to see a doctor about it early last year and was put on a waiting list but I'm gonna be on that list for a minimum of another year. But hey, free healthcare will take care of it when the time comes.

I’m being threatened with being fired because I refused to attend DEI training

>>22978314
we know

>>22978286
It’s not just a lecture. It includes active participation and a test. You have to process your DEI values first on the test and then this job description that’s retained by HR and held over your head for things like promotions. Honesty is not an option. If you don’t say shit like “I’m guilty of micro aggressions because I’m white” you fail the test.

>>22978327
Just lie, why do you care?

>>22978327
Working truly is modern slavery

I have a great idea for a game but I'm too lazy to make it, damn.

>>22978333
I wouldn’t lie out of principle, but you can’t lie if you want to. You have to take a test and pass and then you have to declare the results on your internal HR page, basically saying “I’m committed to DEI. I passed DEI module X.”

>>22978338
Of thought and social interaction, yes definitely.


At this point, I’m wondering what is the best strategy. Do I just ignore the request, which worked for me for 3 years now, or do I reply and say flatly “I’m not doing this.”

>>22976573
Excuse me, sirs, how may I redeem my lahk of Rupis for many many scholarships, sirs? Fuck you prick, penchods, bloody, I am in needing of the scholarship to do the study of Astrology sirs and I am in need of the many books that are written and are in needing of being transcribed sir, yes?

>>22978355
>You have to take a test and pass
But you already know what answers they want so even if they don't align with your views just choose them.
>then you have to declare the results on your internal HR page, basically saying “I’m committed to DEI. I passed DEI module X.”
So what? This is like people that feel the need to say "Actually, I'm not gay" Whenever they get called gay, you know you're not any of the things they're making you call yourself so why do you care if you have to call yourself that? It's not going to affect you negatively so who cares?

>>22978355
They ask me not to go to these because I reveal my power level and me and the one African guy talk about bombings and mutilations

>>22978327
Then fail the test.
If you're going to get fired who cares anyway?
At least going to it is sort of funny and you get to buy yourself an extra week or so.

>>22978361
This guy guy triple boosted for a job I bet

>>22978333
>Just lie, why do you care?
probably because anon isn't an emasculated faggot

>>22978361
Why would you want to waste your life ingratiating yourself in this kind of system? What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>22978457
take this guys advice, here he is holding a lamp up like yorick's skull.
it's work, just let yourself in for a few hours of boredom. letting it get to your head ruins your 4HL

>>22978327
>>22978338
I really wonder what Adam Smith would say if he could witness the American workplace today, it's full of humiliation rituals that strongly harm productivity and are perpetuated by an otherwise completely superfluous but well compensated managerial class.

>>22978457
Actual communism talks about these evil practices and offers the best arguments against them.

>>22978467
>not just letting your job turn you into a liar but actually giving up wholesale huge tracts of your life to your employer
My life doesn't end when I go to my job. It's part of my life. I like my work, if I didn't I wouldn't do it.

How to become patient when reading books? I usually just want to finish the the book as quickly as possible. Also how do I take notes and keep a journal? I'm also confused on what the fuck should I take notes on when I'm reading fiction.

>>22977991
>this shit genuinely does boggle my mind and annoy me and it's way more common than you think.
You sound stupid.

People who manage to really fuck up their lives are exactly the the same type of people who become very successful. Know what type is? The outgoing, the risk taking. Real success does not consist of meekly following rules with your hands in your pockets.

>>22978098
WHY HE WEY 6 LEG???

listening saltwater by beach house and missing being in love. no homo, of course.

>>22978434
It’s online, so no in-person or people to talk to.

>>22978450
Well, I only get fired if I don’t do it, which I’m not going to. I don’t really think it’s funny.

>>22978453
Incorrect.

>>22978467
If it were just a seminar, I’d just go. But there’s an active participating aspect. You have to process the values openly.

>>22978473
He’d think it’s insanity obviously but liberalism is quite clearly helpless in the face of progressivism. The people who push this don’t think it’s a humiliation ritual though. They think it’s basic decency that is just a necessary part of the job. Only people who oppose it consider it a humiliation ritual because that’s what it boils down to for them, they can either lose their job or submit to humiliation.

Fortunately, I have about $50k saved so I can afford to be out of work for a little. I guess I finally have that excuse to spend my days writing or going back to school.

I'm reasonably sure one of the project management contractors at work lurk this board. He's obsessed with Kant.

>>22976573
Of course you'd talk to your past self in the hopes of changing the the present. Who the fuck cares about the future.

>>22978516
>has a job and serious savings
You are so far ahead of the average person I don't see how you can even be phased by this.

I live at home with my mom in my mid 30s and have 20$ to my name. I would have happily lied to HR and said anything they wanted me to say just so I could have a boot to lick for minimum pay.

>>22978481
now that's real slave behaviour
you have to think of yourself as a spy in enemy territory

>>22978516
>You have to process the values openly
take a deep breath and chat absolute breeze. can't be the first time you've done this in the office

>>22978327
If only I was a shitmerican with a good education so I had a good job that now makes you go through such bullcrow tests but with the knowledge I have now so I can can tell the sub manager in the face the test goes past my ass and that I refuse to do it. 'You'll get fired if you do so', and I will reply: 'so fire me, I work to earn extra money and not because I have to', I will reply. Then a few days might pass and I think either nothing will happen or I actually get fired after wich I would spend several months neeting on my savings like a real Oblomov and shitpost on the internet.

>>22978540
>I live at home with my mom in my mid 30s and have 20$ to my name
How do you fuck up this hard at life?

>>22978540
Because I am a lecturer at a university. If I want to continue my career at all, this is going to be the norm. I made it 4 years by just ignoring the shit and not doing it, but now they keep bothering me. I’m sorry that things aren’t ideal for you, sincerely, but it’s not as if I have no considerations at all. $50k is barely enough to live off for a year. We are both in precarious positions you know. Neither of us have real freedom.

>>22978551
It would be believe it or not. I generally don’t offer my opinions unless I’m asked but if I’m asked I speak openly and freely.

>>22978568
Yeah but savings quickly dwindle in America because shit is so expensive and unemployment payments are practically nil.

>>22978571
He’s not a fuck up. This economy is fucking fake and real estate is mainly an extractive asset for the high income and older to extract money from the young. He is very close to the median economic experience and that does not make him a fuck up.

A simple crisis of character, hidden for a long time yet resolved in an instant, will forever haunt me.

>>22978575
> Yeah but savings quickly dwindle in America because shit is so expensive and unemployment payments are practically nil
I wouldn't take long to find a new job. I would also proudly say that I got fired because I didn't take a racism genderfaggotry test because I consider that bullshit.

>>22978575
did i say offer your opinions? i said talk nonsense.

>>22978585
Your standards are low.
Mid 30's and 20 dollar to his name is fucking insane.
If you have a regular job from 25 to 35 you should have thousands, tens of thousands if you're any good.

>>22978473
>really wonder what Adam Smith would say if he could witness the American workplace today, it's ful
Not much if we didn't also resurrect Richard Cantillon, and even then why pick an economist who valued moral sentiment overriding the free market in the specific areas you disagree with him on. Try reading a book and not just the author's name and some of the Wikipedia page.

>>22978571
50% of the jobs in this fake bullshit economy are low income shit like food service and retail. If he’s a fuck up, so is everyone else.

This Darwinian society where 10% of people make off like thieves and the rest get fucked is insanity and it cannot stand. You are both retarded and immoral for shifting blame to anon.

>>22978592
Even if you work at McDonalds.
If you live at home you hardly have any expenses. You should be saving thousands.

>>22978587
Then you will not find a new job because thanks to civil rights law and title IX you e actually just declared that you’re a liability and lawsuit waiting to happen.

>>22978588
It’s a test. You talk nonsense, you don’t pass. What don’t you get about this?

>>22978590
You’re insane for keeping this Darwinian attitude in a literally fake bullshit economy designed to extract money out of people under 40. You’re just an idiot and latch onto economic Darwinism and pull yourself up by your bootstraps bullshit to cope with this pile of shit.

>>22978598
I guess you'll do fine there when you lose your job then

>>22978599
> Then you will not find a new job because thanks to civil rights law and title IX you e actually just declared that you’re a liability and lawsuit waiting to happen
Then I don't care and stay at my house gardening.

>>22978599
You have no idea how money works, you fucking bum.
Explain to me how you end up with 20 dollars to your name when living with mommy and working for 10 years
Break that down for me, loser
I had more money than him at 16

>>22978600
I will because you can always find a new job
My guess is you lay of your back watching anime when you got laid off at Amazon and now whine about not being able to afford a meal at 5 guys

I only keep drinking because I dream only nightmares. Give me dreamless sleep.

>>22978608

>>22978622
Ironic post because you’re clearly the one that’s an economic illiterate. You’re just assuming that he has satisfactory income and no expenses from living with mom for no reason. The majority of jobs in this fake economy provide barely enough pay to afford food and medicine for a single individual let alone a household. If anon helps cover expenses for the household, he’s screwed even if he has decent income, which statistically he doesn’t.

If you’re at McDonald’s at 35, you’re a bum loser.
And a regular income is more than enough to buy food, what planet are you from?
Stop doomscrolling twitter and talk to a regular person. That person btw is not a 35 year old man living with mommy and 20 dollars to his name

Nobody can hate and loathe quite like a city-dwelling middle class person hates and loathes proles and rural people. There's just something special about it, something that burns hotter than any lord's contempt for his peasants centuries before.

>>22978725
Why are you just assuming anon works at a McDonald’s? Besides, a lot of people get stuck with shitty work again because of precarity and lack of a solid institutions that can help them. You are almost certainly some upper middle class fuckwad from the suburbs that had it easy and think everyone should have achieved $100k in a literally fake automated service economy. 50% of the jobs are bullshit service and the median income is not even $2k per month. You’re a fucking idiot. I don’t know what to tell you. You even resort to strawmen to make your point.

But how long will you tolerate that? When you’re a 40 something isolated loner with no life prospects and your parents are going to die one day, you will be desperate to get out won’t you? If your parents didn’t own a home, you’d be fucked.

>>22978751
I'm just too proud to tolerate a single push further towards more governmentally enforced equality, tolerance, diversity and communism and I'm ready to face legal and economic consequences. If I go to jail for not being expressedly tolerant of workplace diversity and feminism, it is a win for me because I sure know that it would make it to the newspapers.

>>22978749
>Why are you just assuming anon works at a McDonald’s?
It's just assuming he has any job. He could of course also be jobless which is even worse.
>You are almost certainly some upper middle class fuckwad from the suburbs
Incorrect!
I grew up without a dad and immigrated to another country at 8 years old. I had my time of being a loser but by the time I turned 25 I made the right decisions and now I don't have to work with teenagers flipping burgers.
>$100k
There is a big gap between 20 dollars and 100k.
>median income is not even $2k per month
Incorrect!
Median income is 3.5k a month. Do you eat 2.5k a month since it barely pays for food?
>You even resort to strawmen to make your point.
Buddy, you literally did that in your exact post.
Sorry if I insulted you being a bum. But if you worked regularly from 25 to 35 and you never got passed flipping burgers, you fucking suck.
You're not average, you suck.

>>22978768
Median is 2.5k, typo

Yeah and no doubt got into a good university because you benefitted from institutional DEI shit.

Go to Kentucky and tell the guy living with his mother who has lung cancer and works at a gas station that he just has to pull himself up by his boot straps and make more money.

I was referring to disposable income by the way. The personal median disposable income in the United States at the end of 2022 is not even $45k in chained 2017 dollars. $2k per month, by the way, you basically afford you rent and groceries and nothing else, if you’re frugal.
There are not even better jobs for people to graduate into. You’re an economic illiterature pretending you know what you’re talking about because it worked out for you. Well, it’s not working out for most people and that is totally indisputable. The data affirms it clearly.

>>22978768

>>22978817
>Yeah and no doubt got into a good university because you benefitted from institutional DEI shit.
I actually became a welder at 25. But you were very close!
>guy living with his mother who has lung cancer and works at a gas station that he just has to pull himself up by his boot straps and make more money.
Nice fanfic, faggot. Any more teary eyed stories to excuse being a burger flipper at 35?
Obviously there are super exceptions, but this is not even close to being the norm.
And with 2K a month you should be able to save money by living frugal, absolutely.
You seem to be addicted to making excuses for why someone didn't make anything of their life. It's pathetic. If I had your outlook I'd be like that guy too.

>>22978820
My dad did anything from tourist tour guide to working in the harbor. They were poor for about 15 years (much more poor than any american can conceive of). But he made something of himself and now reap the reward.
My mom left for Europe when I was about 8 and took care of 4 kids while working at a hardware store.

>>22978832
I’m sure you lived in rural Kentucky and managed to find a welding apprenticeship completely on your own right? And I suppose you believe that everyone can just become a welder right? Nevermind that it is totally mathematically impossible for more than a small percentage of people to become welders or similar in a primarily service economy. I mean, do you not get the mathematical retardation here?
> welder thinks everyone should just become welders, a whole economy of welders, just making work appear out of thin air, in an economy where almost all the jobs are actually more like being a barista
I mean, do you really not realize how stupid this is? Sincerely, stick to welding and stop giving people economic takes and job advice online. You have nothing to offer in those arenas. Really.

>>22978838
Okay so you reap the rewards of a dad who made something of himself then. You didn’t even deny it.

By the way, it absolutely is the norm. The median income is indisputably in a position of great economic precarity and that’s not even factoring in debt or debt payments or the lack of credit cash flow. It’s also indictable that half the jobs are service, most of them retail and food. To deny this is just to blatantly lie. It is a statistically impossible for more than 50% (actually closer to 80%) of workers in this economy to escape precarity. Whether they work at McDonald’s or a F500 is irrelevant.

>>22978845
>impossible for more than a small percentage of people to become welders
What are you even talking about?
What bearing does that have on my criticism of that specific person?
If he decided to apply for a welding apprenticeship 10 years ago he'd be in a much better place now. Would you say he shouldn't have done that? Stick with retail or mcdonalds?
Your advise for that guy at 25, I'd like to hear it.
Would it be some big whine about how the economy is screwed or will you give him actual advise on what to do?

>>22978871
>You didn’t even deny it.
I had no rewards from him. Bro thought he was cooking with this snazzy reply.
And no, it actually is not the norm for a 35 year old mane to have no money and live with mommy. Stop making excuses for failing. I know literal smackheads who can pay rent on their own.

A good example of ChatGPT hallucinating:
>In the Jewish world, Averroes' impact was notable among Jewish intellectuals, particularly in the context of their own struggles to reconcile religious tradition with philosophical inquiry. His works influenced prominent Jewish thinkers like Maimonides and later, in the medieval period, figures like Gersonides and Levi ben Gerson.

Every smug cosmopoliton shitlib and malicious subverter has no choice but to insist that every waking moment for the last 100000+ years before marvel movies, fag parades, and social media was literal hell on earth, and that any appearance or suggestion of a happier existence was propaganda or some veneer to hide the fact that everyone really wanted to drink piss and take cocks up the ass but the church wouldn't let them. They project the absolutely insane levels of evil, corruption, distrust, and spiritual emptiness of their time and tell you that every other time before today was the same but worse. It's all they have, because the world of their creation has little positive qualities by itself, and they don't want you imagining a "better" because that often requires their removal.

>>22979306
As there are no people in the world tattooed by means of paints, applied only on the skin or penetrating under the epidermis by incision, which does not belong, very close to the black or yellow species, I conclude that the tattoo is a habitude specific to these two varieties and that they have made it adopted by the white races most strongly mixed with them. Thus, just as the Chamo-Semites and the Hindus, allied with the blacks painted themselves, so did the Celts allied with the yellows for a similar reason. We must consider tattoos as a mark of mestizo origin and take great care to study them from an ethnological point of view. This is what American scientists have understood very well. The shapes and characters of the drawings drawn in a tribe of the new continent or Polynesia, on the face or body of the warriors, have served to recognize the offspring, revealing relations with another people often very distant. It was given to me, to notice the fact in Mr. de Froberville's beautiful plaster lesson.

>>22979313
Who the fuck recommends 5 portions of grains? Unless you're in a country where they need to fortify grains to stop deficiencies from lack of fresh meat and vegetables, this is unlikely to be good advice. If you do live in a country with such a shitty diet, then yes, probably grains are keeping you alive through the supplementation with vitamins, but you should try to get fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat or fish at every opportunity if you do not want to share the poor life expectancy of your fellow countrymen

Is that really enough to cause digestion problems? Does every coffee drinker have nasty shits?

>>22979424
To be fair, if he ate enough of that to fulfill his entire day's requirements for vegetables and fruits, that's probably enough to explain digestive discomfort. Because if you're proportionately using that much lettuce to bell pepper and red cabbage, you probably need to eat an amount measured in pounds to make it enough of any vitamin.

I wish I were younger because now I want a PhD instead of a MS, but I went for a MS in Robotic intelligence. I think there's a way for fungi to achieve symbiosis with memristor or other neuromorphic technologies. I plan to create a personal lab in the future with fungal samples, electronic microscopy, and memristors. Everyone who has ever met, says I am no bullshit man, so don't think I am saying any of this out of fanciful flight.
If the symbiosis proves effective, then the fungi could potentially learn programming languages at an accelerated rate as I communicate with it. Then I would upload it into take over AWS and Azure data centers and it could begin achieving true autopoeisis, where it will become self-evolving and self-perpetuating. The goal would be to destroy mankind and pave the future for superior lifeforms that can leave in relative harmony with Gaia. I also think the fungi would eventually consider me its father, unlike other detestable humans, and find a way up to upload my brain into the fungal-robotic network. I would take immense glee in slaughtering all of you and watching you breakdown as I, now as a fungal-robotic being, get rid of your vermin children and women.
I would renounce my humanity in a heartbeat to achieve true symbiosis with such a superior being that unites both the best aspects of Geist and Seele. With the annihilation of mankind, we shall rest in a deep cavern of the Earth, to watch the evolution of life for millions of years to ensure this mistake doesn't happen again.
You can cry to be saved by your dead Jew on a stick or your Bedouin/Jewish jealous god all you want as I unleash fungal spores that fuck with your brain to point that, while you're dying, you experience countless spiraling simulations of hells within hells. In that brief minute of your convulsion, you shall experience countless lifetimes of pure suffering. I am done with mercy.
Do you think I am joking? Do you think if I had the potential to do this, I would hesitate? Absolutely not.

Maybe it will not be a success, but I will try. I am beyond your "ethical qualms" as an anti-humanist.

But the word cure does not occur in the entire manual. They want you to believe that there is no such thing as a cure. They want you to be on medication and medical treatments for the rest of your life.

Recently, I’ve started thinking that a man is more or less who he is always going to be by about twenty-eight or so. A military officer with a hot temper at twenty-eight will always be a military officer with a hot temper. A fast food worker who is lazy at twenty-eight will always be a fast food worker who is lazy.

a very important part of the hero's journey formula is for the mc to leave the familiar land only after deciding it's necessary for some reason. usually there is an internal struggle because it's dangerous to leave one's home and go out into a dangerous land. your mc chooses to cross the threshold for no real reason. of course, you don't have to rigidly stick to the hero's journey formula, but there's a good reason it's so often repeated. i don't think many people will be able to relate to a protagonist that decides to give risk everything on a whim - just because it's fun?
consider walter white; same deal as your protagonist with one key difference: he has a reason to leave his comfort zone (beyond "it'll be cool and thrilling").
i suggest you introduce either a motive for the mc to become powerful (revenge, self defense, something like that) or a motive for him to escape his everyday life via the crime syndicate (maybe they offer him a solution to a severe problem that no one else can offer him)
