You better believe it. I'm not fortunate enough to get NEETbux like some of the people here, so a 1/8 chance of death for a 7/8 chance of an easy way out of being a wagecuck is more than worth the risk to me. Even 500 grand would be enough to last the rest of my life on if planned frugally.

yeah I'd spin it really lightly counterclockwise so it lands on 50 or 100 m

What's the catch?

>>22060
There isn't one.

That reminds me, /$/ is dead.

Other than scamming none.

It's no more dead than half of the other boards on this site.

please keep off topic meta posts in the board intended for that purpose

Surely whatever you wrote was less humiliating than this.

I agree with this so much. Maybe OP just needs to get to the point where they don't need/want friends either?

I only socialize anonymously now or in a setting on the internet where growing a friendship would never happen. Eventually you realize having friends is too much pressure if you already have issues you're working through, you're better off just talking with people casually and not putting that kind of pressure on yourself.

1 year later and I can't help but wonder if op managed to improve his situation.

>>18868
You're a wise man.

Meh, I decided to give it a try as an anonymous speaker, had a shitty experience. I waited for like 10 minutes to get a listener. Someone, probably a rather young girl, cut me off a couple of times without even bothering to check for her possible spelling mistakes.

I suppose I should have picked a listener from the list rather than getting a random one but I won't use this shit again. All I wanted was to speak up my mind but instead I jumped off pissed off...

>Just became a listener after passing a well layered but easy test.
Could any of you describe it?

Honestly, I find these types of sites to be counterproductive. As >>20512 mentioned, people do sign up as listeners for the explicit intent of trolling (or abusing, if you want to call it that) lonely or downtrodden individuals. And even the listeners that are "legitimate" are virtually all insufferable Ford Drivers that will try to veer the conversation towards them and their victimhood somehow.

That's it. Fuck it though, im not using it when the training encourages what is in my opinion useless babble
>I have so many problems, my family is falling apart, I have no money and my gf left me
>Sounds like you're stressed
No shit. If I do use it im not doing any of that. Not trying to be edgy but that's how I was treated and absolutely hated it, I can do basic introspection and I assume most others can. It's kind of pointless when they're trying to legally cover their ass as much as possible, can't even advice.

I think many of us will need more than words, therapy and even drugs to fix ourselves.

>If you had a second chance at life, what would you have done differently?

Thow my computer out the window in middle school. I somehow became hooked on gaming, then I stopped. Turns out people change in just 3 years. I have hard time making friends because of it.

People usally call me '30s kid.
On the bright side, I usally get along with chinks, for some reason.

>>19577
I drove a tercel of that era (bit later) and that isn't it. i think its a mid-80s celica or maybe a mazda 323 or an accord hatchback.

I've come to the realisation that I would probably be depressed no matter how my life turned out.

>>21935
It's not really a surprise since chinks love their games.

>>21032
>I don't have a proper last name because of that.
How does that work exactly? Aren't you supposed to get the surname of your father? Your parents can't choose a surname for their child or maybe you meant something different.

I was homeschooled.

I'd say it was when I dropped out of high school, but I was failing anyway...

>>21953
That father has to be there for them to confirm its his child, he's likely a bastard

Believing in god is the purest form of escapism, leave it for when you're on your deathbed. Until there, live knowing you'll disappear forever after this ride so you can be one step further to the Ubermensch status.

There's no way I can be a nazi, anon, I'm a racemixed brown.

Not being tied to any magical books is one of the few things that allow me not to live in total despair.

>>21944
In this case, Ubermensch sounds like more of a reference to Nietzsche. I think that was the intent given
>Believing in god is the purest form of escapism

Do you have any intentions on rectifying the situation you find yourself in OP?

>>21786
She needs everyone to participate in her sickening debauchery so that she doesn't have to feel guilty about it. She'd rather drags us down into the filth with her.

What's next, op?

It dawns on me at some time every evening that I have wasted yet another day. I don't know what I should do to consider a day not wasted, I don't really want to do anything. But at the same time I know I am wasting my life and feel bad 24/7.

That I've never known love. There are others, too, but that is the only one that I really care about.

apathy

My biggest flaw is no doubt my complete, utter lack of ambition. I never had a dream or drive to do or become anything, even as a child. Absolutely nothing motivates me.

I'm also highly antisocial, have very little stress tolerance, etc... much of the usual hikikomori traits. But at the end of the day, none of it really matters when you don't have the motivation to act on anything.

>>21823
I would consider that a good thing, not a flaw. Don't buy into that "tis better to have loved and lost" bullshit.

I have too many flaws to pick just a single one. The only thing that I could really say that would sum it all is that I exist. That would be the only thing that could capture all of my flaws into a single flaw.

I have a couple of friends. One is pretty much like me and I'm his only friend, we've been close-ish for a long time. Unfortunately I mostly just hang out with him for fun, he would never be able to relate to most of my life experiences. The other is charismatic and has a ton of friends. I just get together with him to drink since nobody else will drink with me. Pretty sure he's my friend out of pity. Overall, I can't say I can really relate to either or them to me.

Ive never had an actual friend, acquaintances maybe, like people youd sometimes go with to the cafeteria and generally choose to work with in teamwork asignements but as soon as the course is over I walk away. Im as surprised as you, OP, ive learned that the vast majority of people posting on chans nowadays are fairly normal people. Thinking about it it kinda makes sense, I mean consider the low quality of posting pretty much everywhere, its all either about relationships be it friends or gf, or lack thereof (I think in reality most people are pretending in order to better fit in with the self imposed loner loser stereotype as you can now tell) and interest/hobbies boards are most often full of mediocre posters save obscure and slow places. A true loner either by choice or forced would eventually give up and pursue his other interests, a truly knowledgeable person about any subject wouldn't really care enough about people to blog about it all day with random strangers whether he has a million friends or none. This leaves us with the actual normal people, those not knowleadgeable enough to make worthy contributions to the community and normal enough to have a handful of real friends and relationships with exes all over the place (albeit with issues with said people, as it should be because nothing's perfect and life sucks dick for everyone) flooding the chans as its evident by the average posting content and quality. I say actual normal people because I believe the current consensus of what's normal is way too fucking misguided in my opinion. Normal isn't a dudebro fucking all the chicks who's friends with everyone, that's merely an hyperbole created by the collective (my guess is it's done as a way to better stablish what we should not or don't want to become), normal is a guy with a handful of friends and contacts on his phone, sometimes single sometimes not and with drama filling the voids.

There's also the notion that anonymous communication provides a medium for all sorts of people, normal or not, to talk about things they'd never dare discuss in real life. Can't blame them for that. That's my simple reasoning for why normal people come to chans.

On a related note it amazes me how relatively functional anons families are, the way the media portrays places like this make

I agree with almost everything you said except
>its all either about relationships be it friends or gf, or lack thereof [...] A true loner either by choice or forced would eventually give up and pursue his other interests, a truly knowledgeable person about any subject wouldn't really care enough about people to blog about it all day with random strangers whether he has a million friends or none.
I don't think the relationship aspect is that big (at least on the 4chan boards I visit) that truly knowledgeable people fuck off since they don't necessarily need to be abnormal in the having friends regard (although those without have more time to acquire knowledge) and probably aren't bothered as much (loner maybe). You can always ignore that shit while contemplating the people who post it and still get nice discussions or the information you wanted.
The loner also may still keep posting because it's the easiest way to get immediate responses (the forced one probably more than the other), his other interests can't satisfy his social needs and places like this one probably are too slow to comply when the loner feels the need to communicate (again more likely for the forced one).

>the interest doesn't imply an specific personality and that audience you're thinking of is much, much, much, muuuch smaller than you think it is
I still believe that this place here does imply a specific audience or at least being not normal at all and OP's expectations are justified and fulfilled in my opinion. Sure, we have a few people here who have friends but I think those are in the minority as opposed to bigger chans where normal people are obviously the majority. This thread would back up that notion, if you want to believe the people who have posted so far.

>the way the media portrays places like this makes you think everyone here grew up to be the stereotypal murderer or rapist
You should know that the media is out for the views and clicks so portraying stuff in a complete exaggerated way is how they make money.

I've had absolutely no friends in the last 5 years. I don't even have a clue how someone like me would go out and make them. IRC humor/bantz doesn't appeal to me, i've lost interest in video games, and i'm not aware of any outdoors enthusiasts that aren't painfully extroverted. I'm stumped.

I agree. The only constant in your life, is you. And even you will change, in time.
