but ah yes I'm sure a bright future at mcdonalds awaits a man who wasted his youth.

>>73438707
the people who work at mcd at that age are women

>>73438741
What do men at that age do

>>73438707
Don't be dense. The best time for a man is his late 20s when he has the capital and standing to do whatever he wants while being able to fuck women in that college age range - all while still being in physical prime.

>>73438768

>>73438768

>>73438787
>where he has the capital

oh right.the capital he amassed during his early 20's from posting on 4chan and playing videogames?

>standing

Ah yes the standing he amassed as a NEET?

>>73438910
And that's the case for most users of this board. You might be roleplaying or new but highly ambitious people who become successful by late 20's as you said don't tend to be the same crowd that posts on 4chan

>>73439021
I've been posting in this pile of shit for 11 years, and I know a lot of people who also use 4chan regularly.

They've done better for themselves on average than the general population. That being said, I don't know anyone else that's ever posted on this board regularly, most of them post on boards that deal with specific hobbies and interests, whereas this board is mostly just shitposting.

>>73439113

Are you ebin larper or honestly this mentally ill, leaf? I can't tell sometimes.

If you're trying to measure success in wealth, I promise you, you will NEVER be happy. Everybodies journey is different, stop all the self flagellation and trying to keep up with the Joneses.

(Spoiler: you're right, since you're posting here constantly and have mental issues you'll never be """a success""" in the way you percieve it)

What sense of humor is that? Posting retarded "memes" day-in day-out? Posting things just for the purpose of being offensive and getting replies?

4chan is pretty mainstream, it's not your sekrit club.

>>73439644
Yes, but mostly the last bit.

Do you generally equate being successful with being a good person? Because I don't.

>>73439691
>Do you generally equate being successful with being a good person? Because I don't.

Good is too subjective so no I don't. But I really don't see what a well-adjusted person would ever get out of this website. Take this board for example. It literally consists of:

>Generals (and many of them)
>Flag roleplay
>SHART
>Easter?
>Porn
>Homosexual threads
>Trap threads
>Calling people niggers
>Loaded questions

>>73439656
I didn't say it was sekrit? I said it was a complete shithole devoid of any value for anyone.

>>73439610
Well we have to ask the question, what role does 4chan fulfill in someone's life?

What does this website do better than other websites? What does this website do better than other uses of time?

Besides being a great place to shitpost, it serves absolutely no value and isn't better than anything else. Unless you're going to say that shitposting is great and peoples' life goals have Shitposting as a major feature I think we can reach a consensus here.

>>73439781
This place makes me happy. I like shitposting. Stop being so autistic.

:^)

>>73439781
You said that there's no reason succesful people would visit this place for some reason, it's just a discussion board like the billion other ones out there, except anonymous so you can spout shit without getting fingers pointed at you personally.

Posting on 4chan doesn't mean you're a NEET, that's just a mocking stereotype, this site is far too popular today with millions of hits per month to represent its users like that anymore, except maybe /jp/ users.

>>73434443
>enjoyed
Speak for yourself laddo

>>73439865
So you were just a roleplayer pretending to be successful?

What part of this site makes you happy? Is it the "I'm depressed and i want to kill myself" threads, the pictures of engorged black penises, or the dozens of generals?

>>73439874
I didn't say you had to be a NEET but this website is definitely one of the more toxic and pessimistic/nihilistic ones on the internet.

Even if you're just doing it for "le funnie banter and shitposting" what do you think the possible effects of constantly reading garbage, usually even 1-sentence long shitposts has on your thinking patterns?

anonymity, dissenting opinions

Everyone needs some downtime senpai. It is an addiction, but that can be extrapolated out to p much all digital interactions. Normies fucking love their book of faces.

If you think everyone here is a loser, you're wrong. I prefer to think of us as misfits. Also I made myself seriously unhappy during my twenties pinning all my ""success"" on material wealth and comparing against my peers. Also beating myself up for wasting time, just like you are now.

Trust me, happiness is way more important than success, and success CANNOT be measured in wealth.

Ha well, that's the flipside. We all need money to survive, and actually more than that, toys/holidays/nice things are fun, too. My point was there is more to life than luxury, toys and holidays. Money should not be the be all end all, the reason you wake up in the morning. More a means to an ends.

Ironically it's the stuggle that often puts the metaphoric hunger into your belly for money into the first place. If you don't have that hunger, don't force it is what I'm saying. Figure out what makes you happy and go from there

Escapism is a self-destructive coping mechanism. You still have all the problems you avoided only they're generally made worse.

That's not a good thing. That just means people shitpost nonstop because there's no standards and it's hard to ban when you can restart a router and go at it again.

You mean perpetual cynicism?

I wouldn't say typing LEAF/chink/pajeet/POO/SHART/cuck/nigger/fag/jew/non-white/subhuman/kike/retard/degenerate/nigger/jew/cuck/sjw/faggot ad-nauseum to be dissenting opinions that are valuable.

>If you think everyone here is a loser, you're wrong. I prefer to think of us as misfits.

Oh yes. I'm sure non-losers spend everyday calling people niggers and debating who's white or nonwhite and talking about how they want to die (but never actually kill themselves because they always come back to make a thread the next day).

And I'm sure an even bigger audience of nonlosers reads the posts.

>Also I made myself seriously unhappy during my twenties pinning all my ""success"" on material wealth and comparing against my peers. Also beating myself up for wasting time, just like you are now.

I literally never said anything about material wealth.

The idea I'm getting across is that this website is useless except for shitposting and you will NEVER regret spending too little time on 4chan.

>Trust me, happiness is way more important than success, and success CANNOT be measured in wealth.

Never said it could. But are people truly happy here? The constant "tfw no gf", neet threads and "I'm depressed I want to kill myself" seem to paint a slightly different picture.

I am actually serious, I'm unemployed and looking for a job, due to economic crisis, and government cuts make it impossible to get job from government agencies or even welfare, I wouldn't be asking for money for food on 4chan.

Material success is always an implicit part of it, no one wants to be living paycheck to paycheck in a meme job which will likely get automated soon.

I mean yeah your right, success is subjective and I'm sure lots of people are very happy living with their parents with no money to buy anything.

>>73441918
Yes, but what comes first? Material wealth at the expense of living life, or as a result of doing so?
Obviously living at home with your parents and no money is no way for you to live. Not because it's actually bad, but because it's affecting your selfworth.

It's difficult if you've been bullied or had a hard life (I'm not making any assumptions btw) but try not to take such an advesarial attitude. If you put out negativity, that's what you'll get back.

Instead of focusing on getting rich, focus on what you need. Instead of focusing on what you "should" be doing, focus on what you could be doing. Try volunteering perhaps.

Shaln't be replying again, but I do wish you well, (You) abhorrant shitposter xx

Why does it need to come first? You're suppose to be a well-rounded person, and generally these things come together.

It's not like life is a choice between being fat/out of shape and being well-read. Or Financially successful yet socially awkward and friendless.

Holy shit,how did you fucking know?Don't say another Goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - one word - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth

Yes i do speak english but I don't get what "normie" means in this context. Are the constant suicide threads and virginity surveys what makes /int/ so un-normie? Is that a positive element in your opinion?

>I don't get what "normie" means in this context
Normal everyday people.

Certain connotations and images come with someone going on 4chan such as loners, losers, weirdos, anime watchers, trap lovers, edgelords, autists, trolls, Jews, racists, child porn watchers, etc.

Normies are the everyday people you might see if you go outside.

Can you imagine all the popular kids at your school coming here, and seeing stuff like "Traps aren't gay, because they have a feminine penis" threads?
