Fuck it. I'd kill myself

Blow my then girlfriend's mind by instantly changing my personality. Move to her country and impress the fuck out of her by simply being my 2008 self with my 2017 knowledge. Given the fact that I'm wise beyond my years and comfortable in my own skin I'll start taking care of myself and build the foundation for my future. Then when I arrive at this shitty ass year I'll be prepared.

>>36380562
So why not do it now?

I'd be playing WoW 17 hous a day again.

>>36380550
why? money? satisfaction?

>>36380424
I'd lose weight, study harder in math, and come out the closet

My dad died in 2008 so i would try to enjoy all the moments i can with him.

>>36380675

Stay in there and never come out you fucking faggot.

>>36380424

The recession started in 2007, numb-nuts. Your dad would just look at the value of his house, and tell you "no shit, Sherlock."

This guy has the right idea. Even if you do everything right, you're still not going to have fun.

Same shit I did before. I was already to well established as an autistic loser by that point, I wouldn't be able to save my rep in this new timeline.

Forgot to mention, I would build up my assets by betting on Super Bowls, world series, Stanley Cups, and presidential elections.

Find a way to invest my college fund in amazon so that I would be rich in the future. Find my Highschool friends that went to my middle school and befriend them early. Find my childhood crush who wasn't a whore yet because she's like fifteen, and try to get in a relationship with her.

I know that fuckface. He still had his job by the time lehman went to the bin. If it were 2007 I'd tell them to buy swaps like a madman

Interesting question. For me 2008 was a very good year, so it would be great to go back to it.

heres the things i was doing back then:
>Smoking loads of weed
>hanging out with a couple of select friends
(but had a large wider circle)
>nearing end of high school

if i could live it again, i would :
smoke less weed and etc
hang out with a wider range of people than i did
NOT make such a tool of myself in situations with 1 or 2 girls that i did at the time and knew i would instantly regret and did instantly regret

However if i was sent back with WHAT I KNOW NOW, jeez that'd be insanity.
i would --
Probably just leave school desu.
Start applying to vocational college courses or just start working in vocational jobs, or just volunteering
Stop smoking weed and taking drugs
maybe start weightlifting and other muscle exercises
put more money aside into savings than i did
basically set myself up with more money
and stop being so into politics, never helped me in the long run.

>>36380424

i'd probably not move to a shithole city with no money and get a trade

>>36380424
Scrape every penny together that I can find, start a trade account, and the day after "the crash" on the stock market, buy into every stock I know is about to skyrocket.
If I'm able to, take out a big loan to boost gains.
Repeat during the oil crash of late 2015.

Imagine this anon, you know everything you did wrong. You defeated a curse upon your life. But you're 28, you burned a lot of bridges, and fucked up many things. You're older, wiser, and no longer want to kill yourself. Yet you are stuck here in this joke of a year cleaning up messes left behind by the person you used to be. If I woke up as my 19 year old self tomorrow with my knowledge from now I would feel immensely powerful. I wouldn't be this broken down loser with debt and fucked up teeth trying to keep his head above the water. I'd be on the plane going to fuck my virgin gf silly, being a virgin with the knowledge of a man who has already had multiple partners. I would never dump my problems on her again because I know now how utterly insignificant and easy to conquer most of them were.

2008 was one of the lowest points in my life despite the fact that I had so many things going for me. If I was the person I am now I would make it one of the absolute best. I'd make that year my bitch.

I preferred this thread when it asked if it was 1997. Nothing but a nearly whole life do-over is good enough for me.

2008 probably wouldn't change much. Yeah I'd be back in high school, which might mean a new chance to practice socializing, but I'd be even worse now than I was then since I've mostly forgotten the context of all of my friendships. Best thing I can think to do would be to drop out and go to community college asap, but that would just help me become a wageslave faster, which isn't exactly exciting or creative.

If I went back that far I would have to somehow getting beat by my alcoholic dad. That would be rough. I don't know how I would be able to cope with a lot of things that would happen. Especially going through puberty for the second time. Really everything is hopeless until I reached 18. The last ten years have been bumpy but still infinitely better than my childhood.

Both were pretty horrible but the second half is better because it's a worse version of the 10s and not a worse version of the 90s. Also that image is a blatant lie: I had an xbox and widescreen in 2005

I would ignore thots and start hanging out with the girl who became my high school gf sooner.
I'd also actually try in school so I could be done with uni by now instead of just starting.

>>36380424
Assuming I retain all my memories from the future and assuming its the same day as today, I would first cry.

Then I would begin prepparing to use my student loans to short every bank stock I could. I also would buy any bitcoin I could.

Next I would declare a comp sci major in addition to my neuroscience major in preparation for going into AI.

Finally, I would ensure I avoid all the crazy girls I would meet in the next 6 months, get ontop of the academic renewal sooner, and start working with certain researchers soon.

Finally, I wouldn't graduate as soon as I could.

All told I would have alot of money, have avoided stagnating, and would feel like I have a future. Whereas right now... Im fucked.

Sell all my assets, max out credit card loans and short the U.S. housing market. Use the earnings to buy up bitcoin and then bet on Trump and Brexit.

Play on PokerStars before it ends and be more sociable, but it would be really weird to be at the same maturity level I am now and have to be around people all the time who are far less.

it would be useless if i was brought back then with the internet and gaming addiction. I'll just bring memes from the future to back then.

i think I would be able to get one thing going right in my life

>>36380424
i hope to change myself for the better and not take the path i've taken.

I'd probably slam half the girls I knew, I'd get a job then and there, properly style my hair, get a better job, but still come back to this one because there's some cool people I like here.

That's all assuming I retain the same memories, if I'm exactly the same as I was, then I guess I'll just do it again.

>>36380424

Invest in Tesla like a fucking madman.

Work out more.

Get more muscles.

Not eat so much goddamn Mexican food.

Warn everybody about Obongo.

Drop out of college and go to a tech school because I would do the same thing many years later.

Though in reality I'd probably just browse the chans and jerk off to chan whores like I did 9 years ago.

Finish high school. Draw more. Play more vidya. Sleep more. Maybe join a club in school. Kind of wish I had done more extracurriculars.

>>36380424
I guess probably live out the exact same life.
But if I knew what I know now, I would be a lot more confident with girls without even having to try. The thing about the present is that my drives have died down and I'm also an alcohol, so I don't care about very much anymore. I've still got my friends though.

Mate, I don't know if you were around in 2008 but there were plenty of snowflakes, feminists ad SJWs. There always has been. Only difference is that no-one gave two fucks.

Id be back in middle school. I'd definitely be alot more confident through school. Play more sports, go to more parties, fuck more bitches. The usual stuff. I would also try alot harder in class. Highschool was easy i was just lazy as fuck and pissed away alot of good opportunities

Tomorrow is 4/19/17. If I wake up then, it would be 2017. If it was 2008 that wouldn't make sense

I would message my future girlfriend and make sure things work out this time
