is 4chan an unhealthy environment/past-time?

>>17261068
Only if you allow yourself to be consumed by the hivemind. If you go on the site to pass time without giving a shit about what 95% of the people say here then it can be very productive.

>>17261075
i was expecting you to say very entertaining... how do you see visiting 4chan as productive?

>>17261129
Well, you can learn a few things.

>>17261068

it depends how malleable you are. everyone is changed by some degree, but it depends what you do with it.

when i found 4chan i was an awful PC faggot, but i quickly got over it. ill readily admit there are differences between the races, and some might be inherently superior to others. i think faggots need to get over people using the word faggot. etc.

but ultimately when i leave 4chan i dont go around treating people differently because of it. i believe you are what you bring to the table. it doesnt matter if you are black, if you are a decent person, then thats all there is to it. same goes for women, faggots, etc.

its interesting cuz my boss still thinks im 'too pc'

100%. Especially /pol/, /r9k/ and /b/ and the likes. /adv/ isn't as bad but the whole place is a cesspool in general

if I had to guess, I would say 4chan is mainly populated by the lower-end of society (uneducated, poor, broken families, physically unlucky, directionless).

Consider that as you will, but yeah... this place is a dump, but it's my dump.

I'm probably more narcissistic than I would be without this site - but that's really impossible to tell. I like to think I'm smarter and have gained valuable knowledge over the years, but I don't discern 4chan knowledge from other knowledge - it's just more digestible due to being funny most of the time. Reddit is another platform to get knowledge from but only useful for links to articles & such, the users are all huge faggots. 4chan does have excellent taste in recommendations, some of the best shows, movies, music, books come from the respective boards. Other sites (reddit included) just give the "Top 20" lists from the kikes that paid them enough - same goes for this site but the shills are obvious and easily spotted.

It's about how you apply the stuff you get from this site. A website cannot be unhealthy, only people can.

Pic is newer I don't have my old /b/ folder on me

Well there is one place on 4chan that is actually really amazing and I want to talk about that for a second. The /fit/ board.

It is probably the only place on earth I have seen that actually explains completely how to lose weight effectively. No fitness industry lies or bs or misinformation. No extra fluff. Just everything you need to lose weight the right way.

Minus the steroid threads and fuck them for promoting steroids as a healthy safe way to work out. Even if they are healthy and safe they require knowledge to be used correctly and that knowledge isn't presented in those threads

No.
Source: spent a full year without imageboards or chan culture of any kind; their absence changed nothing other than making anomie harder to fight off. (The anomie was also worsened by my decision not to use porn or music, and my friendlessness)

Thank you for posting this; was not aware and was considering roiding

Depends on what boards you visit. Most boards are all right in moderation, though /pol/, /r9k/, and /v/ are toxic in any amount. /b/ is a borderline case: it depends on the threads you visit, but the nature of the place means you get at least some exposure to all of them.

Get off of /pol/ and /b/
