This is the thread to separate oneself from the zoomersphere that is modern Yas Forums and its gay e-girl fueled drama, to chat among ourselves about life, work, NEETing, gaming etc.
I made a 30+ thread yesterday, and the general consensus was that I lower the age to 25+ to include more younger late 20s millennials, so I've made that change.
I've also made a discord since I figured it would be interesting to speak to those who remember the 2008-2012 days of this board, however if there isn't much demand for this idea, I'll retire it. Invite string below:
Im 24 but I remember what the board was like in 2014. It was funnier than it is now people used to make greentext threads all the time
Colton Powell
29 soon no job no education no license no friends no social media no skills no hobbies started refusing food
Eli Johnson
I feel you, but I also feel like 2014/2015 was the beginning of the e-girl era, so I don't have fond memories of that time. mystery.jpeg in particular left a sour taste in my mouth.
>no job
Is it a long term thing user, or have you recently been laid off?
Wyatt Lewis
Because everyone allowed leddit niggers and discord trannies to stay and engaged with their faggotery instead of dumping gore and bullying them off of this board, and now here we are with a dead board full of nothing but low quality b8 spam by trannies, coomer threads, and discord faggotery.
Yeah, that's why I created the discord link, I've come back here after an extended absence and honestly, it feels like all the old guard left but forgot to turn off the lights.
Are any of you who remember the old days still here?
Michael Bell
29, doing okay. Got a mediocre but comfy job that I'm somewhat enjoying, but I recently met a girl my age who makes a lot more money than me, and now I feel like I'm a fucking kid, several years behind.
On the flip side, it was a much needed shot in the arm that I needed to get my shit together and try to finnish taking all the steps of me becoming a deacon, so it might have been for the best.
Why 25? Seems like 28 is a much more reasonable number because. The robot who is sexually attracted to a woman will need to understand that the ideal age gap between a woman and man is the man being 10 years older than the woman in question and age laws regarding pornography are set at 18 in most of the worl.
Nicholas Perry
Got diagnosed with ADHD recently. The medication has made such a massive difference in my life. I'm getting distinctions at uni and work is no longer a chore. Sucks that it took this long (27)
I'm an old timer despite often typing like a newcomer! UwU
Sebastian Ramirez
25 seemed like a more rounded number, I am conscious of the need to keep zoomer detritus firmly out though.
>but I recently met a girl my age who makes a lot more money than me, and now I feel like I'm a fucking kid, several years behind.
You've still got time to learn new things (no cope).
>On the flip side, it was a much needed shot in the arm that I needed to get my shit together and try to finnish taking all the steps of me becoming a deacon, so it might have been for the best.
As in a church deacon? Interesting stuff user. What compelled you to take the cloth?
Cooper Ramirez
addy is so fun to take. Be careful d00d.
Kayden Diaz
Mystery... Hated that bitch, and yeah, that's when the first of them started to appear.
Liam Reyes
>You've still got time to learn new things (no cope).
To be fair, there isn't a single deacon in my city below the age of 30, so as long as it proceeds well, I'm not gonna be too bothered once it's all said and done.
>As in a church deacon? Interesting stuff user. What compelled you to take the cloth?
I enjoy the church as a working enviroment (might be a good time to add that I'm not American, if that changes your idea of me working for the church), and I feel like I can really make a difference there. I'm also very much interested in theology and religion in general, so it seemed like a good way to mix them together
I take dexys. I don't find it fun really, it just makes my head a lot more quiet and I get focuses on whatever I'm doing at the time.
Ryan Ross
Not that user but I wish you well on your way to become a deacon
Leo Gray
Do you have any religious conviction? And what's the pay like for a deacon?
Jason Jenkins
Its dumb that you feel this about making less money than a girl, sounds like she might be one of those bad people that try to manipulate you by putting you down. You don't generally want to be treated like a kid because fact is children are not full human beings in the eyes of society and the law. If that isn't a precursor to abuse, what is?
Evan Wilson
Lo and you almost lured me into that thread yesterday, but the wizard pact is everlasting. This virus is child's play, and the emergency preparedness system has failed, with no promotions of citizens to keep the community engaged in survival, but promotions of the failing system that has claimed these lives where suicide is illegal. Many deaths are attributed to a willingness to die. I suggest everyone in this thread to slit your wrists and scar them until the skin no longer holds and huff precious lifeforce from your eeking skin in hot days to keep your company, as though the days are getting longer the nightshade of biological warfare has yet to come. Prepare for things like street captains and potentially pedophiles, also.
Easton Kelly
How do I actually access the discord server? I don't know where to paste the code.
>Returning only first 5000 Jesus.
Jacob Evans
Thanks man. It's a long road, but I'm well on my way. If all goes well it's 2 more years, but I'm betting on 3 to not dissapoint myself.
I'm agnostic, but I have some solid ideas about how I feel about God, Jesus, and christian faith in general. But there's still some time left, more things to learn, so I feel like I can still grow. Not to mention that the journey never truly ends, now does it?
A daecon here makes about 40-43 k yearly, which is pretty solid. Not as good as lawyers, but better than than (most) teachers and trained nurses. Higher taxes in my country, but no crazy healthcare and insurance fees.
27. I spent most of my life that i can remember on Yas Forums since i started coming here when I was like 15.
I almost made it. I now have an education, job perspectives, irl friends. Overall I enjoy life. But I'm still missing one piece. Still tfw no gf. Still virgin. I have many female friends but I'm still missing the final step. I don't know if I'll ever make it.
Jaxon Martin
>I'm agnostic, but I have some solid ideas about how I feel about God, Jesus, and christian faith in general.
Is it more of a consequentialist thing for you? It's interesting to me how a lot of atheist/agnostic types (myself included) can see the value in religion as we grow up. It provides structure and meaning for people. I think it's especially important for vulnerable people who probably suffered a lot as the society became more secular.
The standard rebuff is that people don't necessarily need it to be a good person, but I feel like the threat of damnation actually does give a lot of people who would otherwise be degenerate a good kick up the ass.

Pangolins are a pedophile-cult-food. Do your research before you insult the great blood wizard. This website will close to contain subconscious hysteria, or web towers will fall prey.
Ian Howard
Pangolins are based and protect against erectile dysfunction, take that back roundeye.
Bentley Edwards
27 here, got a tech job so I'm working from home for the foreseeable future which is comfy. But even for a loner like myself being unable to leave my apartment is driving me a bit stir crazy.
Asher Morgan
27 Hope to have job soon (PhD Business Information Systems) Highest education ist M.Sc. Business Information Systems Standard license but no car Maybe 1 close friend No social media Hobbies have all faded into nothingness, only Yas Forums is left Kissless virgin and will probably die as such Living with my mother, father is a bastard, broken home Manlett, think I'm balding Years of emotional shitshow made me die inside Have stopped caring about everything Hope Corona-chan fucking recks this shithole The only thing I still feel is rage against other people
>Hobbies have all faded into nothingness, only Yas Forums is left
I honestly find it amazing people have the motivation to lift even when everything else has gone to shit. When my life falls apart, the first thing that suffers is my health (taking up smoking, eating like shit etc).
Camden Reyes
27. Went on a date with a 23 y.o last friday (thought she was older than me). Good conversation. But didn't feel that sexual spark. My 2 main thoughts during were that I should be studying and that i should jump out the window. This is my first year at a university. It's a good place to find girls. But I just can't stand how these kids act. They even talk during lectures. They still act like it's HS. In my father's era and culture, it was a privilege to go to university, and the kids followed the decorum. Now, they let anyone in, and they just let them run amok. There's just no respect. And by not paying attention, they're disrespecting themselves, and they don't even realise it.
But now corona has taken my method of finding girls. Now all I have is studying and piano. Still a virgem. Nobody on this board likes my music anyway. Oh well.
Brody Smith
28 and on permanent disability for the rest of my life for "severe mental illness" relating to hyper-realistic "schizoaffective hallucinations".
Life has stagnated and I'm still in disbelief that I have to live another 50 years of this shit (perhaps for eternity in a cryogenically frozen state in a space craft)
Nothing I fear more than living forever tell me this is all a nightmare.
Liam Morgan
Not him, I find lifting boring but I love running. Even in my worst moments one of the few things that pulls me back together and I still have the force of doing is going for a run. Probably the change of scenery, the post run feeling and listening to music all help.
Justin Cox
currently 27, work in restaurants. nursing a pot addiction, hopefully ordering for the last time.
wait why don't you discipline yourself and work towards something? is it severely disabling?
how did you get friends? i guess you do stuff and find people who do that stuff right
Angel Wood
I'm still fretting over what the "hallucinations" have told me. I've completely loss of will power, desire, and remain in a depressive fatigued state sprawled out on my bed pressing f5 relentlessly because there's nothing else I currently desire.
Kayden Mitchell
28 soon
failed at STEM like five times because brainlet, became depressed, seeing a shrink and taking some meds, went to college for something non STEM last year because fuck math (in my country college is free so I'm not raking in debt)
corona got me stuck in the house I ain't complaining tho, it's not like I'd be doing much besides stay at home and be on my computer even if I still had classes, I'd just have to spend half the day on lectures and going back and forth to the uni which is a bit far away
Nathaniel Young
How do you even cope? I just want to be a kid/teen I don't like the look of life past those years
I'm 22 and I'm dreading the future, I can't imagine being older, I don't want it at all TAKE ME BACK
I don't want to be a teen, because I hate teens. I don't want to be a young child, because they have no power. A lot of the suffering you go through in life is due to ignorance and inexperience. That's just compounded, the younger you are.
Dominic Johnson
I am doing poorly, don't know how to cope with being alone. Wish I at least had a friend since I will never find a boyfriend due gays being all loose degenerated whores who don't want a wholesome monogamous relationship.
Daniel Gonzalez
>how did you get friends? i guess you do stuff and find people who do that stuff right
Trough study/work. I'm doing a PhD, the lab where I arrived is full of people my age and we just got friendly. Now I feel a lot more extroverted and outgoing and I learned to drink alcohol and enjoy social occasions. I think having a group of similar aged people that I spent lots of time with helped, as well as the fact that since we are doing a PhD we are all relatively educated so there aren't many retards chimping out and stuff like that.
Jonathan Bailey
Hahahahahha you feeling it mr. krabs?
Brandon King
i'm 25 tomorrow, i have a software engineer job that's going okay. i'm still an autist but i guess i'm sort of a normie now so i just come here out of habit.
Liam Torres
>complain about zoomers >join my discord so we can circlejerk there instead of keeping the 25+ threads alive :^) Go back to where you came from faggot
There are hardly any 25+ threads these days. This is the first I've seen for a while.
Nathan Butler
>25 >schizo >shitty job >antipsychotics fuck with my mood, energy, concentration, dick and weight >can't succeed at school because I can't focus long enough to do my work I've put on 16kg in the last 6 months. Probably gonna be forced to move back in with my parents this year. Gonna become a proper disabled NEET and kill myself.
Adrian King
>I've put on 16kg in the last 6 months. I can't really offer advice that doesn't sound trite here (just b urself :)) but I'll say putting on weight is the first sign of things starting to fall apart for me. The rest of my life just follows.
Jason Fisher
The antipsychotics have caused it, it makes me depressed.
Hudson Stewart
I'd fail at STEM too don't worry brother. Let's fail at life together!

Realizing that you're not smart enough to do something like compsci, like, simply not genetically gifted enough, is a massive, massive blackpill.
Parker Ortiz
Meds just make your life miserable in general.
Hunter Powell

I've literally never seen a homosexual express any real interest in romance.
Jack Scott
34 life is reasonably in order got a decent social life loving family good career own house except my life has a major flaw. never came anywhere close to a relationship. never kissed. never dated. never had sex i was working to change things around. started getting advice from friends about the dating scene, got on some dating apps. started reaching out to potential dates and then corona happened now i'm not even sure if it's morally ok to ask someone out guess i'll just remain a kissless virgin for the foreseeable future
Lincoln Butler
Do you think there's a reason you never came anywhere close to a relationship? Like, is it just for lack of trying or is there something else at play?
Liam Morris
It's a fucking funny thing, when you're living in a holding pattern where you barely have the capability to keep living day to day life. If anything happens to make life harder, you're fucked. I'm fucked. I completely burned myself out, I've been running on empty for years, and now I've hit the limit of what I can function through.
I swore I'd never get back on xanax, but I got back on the xanax today. I thought it was going to be a magic bullet that would make it stop, but nope. its not as good as I remember it. resisting the urge to take more
Austin Nelson
Lack of trying is definitely a part of it, but there are a few other obvious bits. I have absolutely no idea how to read signals in the moment. There have been a number of times throughout my life where I've been chatting/hanging out with a woman. And then I realize a few days later that she was probably hitting on me. But by that point the moment was lost. There was even one night where I realized later that a female friend was practically begging me to fuck her, but I didn't understand in the moment so nothing happened. I also accepted the bullshit that normies tell you about "the right one just happens" and "you'll find her someday". Then the years kept going and it kept not happening. So I started having a hard time believing that anyone would ever find me attractive or want to be with me.
Juan Foster
explain the appeal of xanax to me.
Brayden Kelly
solves all problems
Nolan Turner
why is it so popular among zoomers though, what does it do to you.
Evan Perry
It's a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines completely alleviate anxiety and stress. The problem is that they are overly addictive.
Kayden Roberts
can you OD on xanax?
Thomas Edwards
I don't think so. You just pass out at a certain threshold.
Hunter Sanders
On its own, it's pretty much a mental sedative. For people who are very anxious all time and can't calm down, it's appealing. I'm one of those people, but I'm also a little more fucked up and need additional medicine. So I used to do the trifecta, xanax, alcohol, weed. Just to stop feeling, stop thinking, stop perceiving and experiencing and being conscious. that's bad. i'm not gonna do that anymore. I hope that if I can just take .5mg a day I can stop panicking myself to death and stay functional for another month.
Thomas Gutierrez
>overly addictive. Not overly, it takes a lot of use to get addicted, but once it has you, you're completely fucked. Even long-term use as directed by a doctor can be pretty harmful.
only if you combine it with alcohol. Benzos on their own aren't very lethal.
Ethan King
I feel like i'm relatively okay externally - I'm doing a PhD in math. I was an athlete in hs & college and have a good body. Im pretty strong career-wise. I have some nice job experience & publications.
Unfortunately, I'm suicidal and addicted to benzos. I see a psychiatrist and am on an rx. It's helpful, but not really enough. I can't kill myself since my sibling beat me to it, and I would feel bad for my parents.
I develop crushes pretty easily, but since HS, I've only ever been intimate with another person online, and my irl social life sucks serious ass.
Jayden Jenkins
How the fuck do you do math
Kevin Bailey
>addicted to benzos how did it happen?
Connor Thompson
I posted this in the suicide general, but I guess it belongs here too:
I can't take the emptiness and meaningless of my life any more. I'm nearly 30, I'll never get married, I'll never have children. Every day for the last 8 years I come home from work to my empty house. I've never met a woman I've felt a connection with, I don't think I'm compatible with anybody. Maybe there are some I would be compatible with, but they are so few and we are so unlikely to meet (especially in my degenerate shithole of a country) that they functionally do not exist. Wanting a woman who shares my values immediately rules out the overwhelming majority of them, then when things like age, mutual physical attraction, personality, lifestyle, etc, are taken into account, the already small number becomes functionally non-existent.
It just feels so pointless to continue living, my life is nothing but tedium and struggle with no purpose to justify it. All I want is a family to protect and provide for, to be able to give my kids the childhood I wish I'd had, but I'll never have that.
I've coped with this by committing myself to political organising for years, but that is very rapidly losing its effectiveness, it no longer brings meaning and purpose to my life.
My only reason for not killing myself is my mother, she has already had a painful life and I don't want to add to it.
not him but i've also got a degree in math math makes sense it's just applying logic to solve problems humans don't make sense logic doesn't work when it comes to relationships
Xavier Wood
If it makes you feel better, at least you're straight?
