Alright, so I'm finally ready to admit that I have a problem and that my life has been going nowhere for the past 6 years. So I'm picking up the remains and moving to Columbus OH because it's half as expensive as where I'm living now and just to get a brand new start. Anyone have any tips about moving across the country or have any comments about Columbus in general? I've never been there.
>>25658996
just boils down to finances m8. i did what you did, but from san diego, CA to spokane, WA. cheap as fuck over here and lots of gorgeous nature, lots of tweakers too. started out with 300, crashed on a friends couch for one month while looking for work, was stable by month 2.
if you arent very employable, you better have at least 3 g's to hold you over while you look for work.
I live 10 mins away from Columbus in a suburb. It's an okay city I guess. You'll probably do jack shit here because there's nothing to do here ahich is why everyone from Ohio who ever did anything moved the fuck away
>>25659125
Ha, I live in san diego too.
I've actually already got a job that I can telecommute from, it just hardly covers my living expenses though.

>Be me
>Be in love with this girl for 2 years
>It hurts, but I thought I finally got over her two weeks ago
>We're really close friends, so it's really tricky
>Going out with this group of friends, it's supposedly going to be raining so my mom won't let me drive
>Need to get a ride
>Girl I was in love with volunteers
>Let's call her Carrie
>She's had my copy of Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl for two weeks or so because of a situation involving me being forced to leave a theatre before the movie started
>She was supposed to give it to me ever since she had it, but always forgot
>Finally get it back, its in her trunk
>Things are good, she drives me to the mall, we have fun talking

>It's a bit awkward, but we laugh it off and I don't think I feel anything
>Feels good not feeling anything
>We sit down with friends, have fun, feels nice.
>Carrie reveals she might be going on a date with this dude from school
>Let's call him Dale
>Don't know him that well, but he's the kind of person who's an ass to teachers and just needs attention
>That's only in a classroom setting, and he seems like he could be a cool person
>Feels slowly trickle in, but nothing even close to major. Still not really feeling anything
>Then the two girls go into a fancy store to try on dresses and we have to give them our opinions
>Carrie only tries on two, one really shitty one and one that's just so fucking perfect for her
>She looked so gorgeous, and feels were trickling in a little more, but still I feel confident I can hold it back
>I was wrong
>We plan to go to supermarket for Carrie to see if Dale is there.
>Takes a while since she has to get gas
>All the meanwhile she's talking all about really personal stuff involving her and romance
>I'm saying the right things, and nice things. I still don't feel to much, I genuinely want things to go well with her and Dale
>I want her to be happy, she deserves it
>What I forgot is that she's playing the Sleater-Kinney discography CD I made that I let her have
>Right now it's on Dig Me Out
>About halfway through the convo it gets to Buy Her Candy
>If you haven't heard this song it's just so heart wrenching
>It's been my #1 most played song for wallowing in unrequited love
>Probably my #1 most played song of all time
>At this moment any chance of me not feeling anything is just wrecked
>During the song it feels like I'm in some sort of fucked up movie
>It feels terrible, I would have been fine if I died
>Convo still goes on for a while since we drive to the supermarket, drive to a different part of town, to a friend's house, then she drives me home. Luckily she forgets to turn the CD player back on because I could not deal with listening to the Hot Rock in my emotional state
>I'm still being supportive and saying all of the things a friend should say
>I still care about her, and I want her to be happy
>Who am I to be a dick about it
>But it feels bad man
>Flash forward to today, I manage to hang out with other friends to try and forget about this
>But the moment I come home it all floods back
>Write a song, (I try to be a musician)
>Already one album but it's shit since I didn't even have a keyboard or guitar amp, and I can't sing, so no vocals
>Carrie is supposed to be the singer for my new stuff
>I can't have her sing what I just wrote, even if it's something I actually like for once
>Way too specific and it would be hell
>I just feel like shit right now and I need you guys
>I hope she has no idea about how I actually feel
Tfw this isn't even good enough for r9k replies
>>25659651
I just can't bear to read it, anything girl/gf related fucks up my day. I avoid this shit like the plague. Thinking of leaving r9k altogether, place genuinely makes me sad.
>Be myself, 20 year olds, half nordic half turkish.

>Sitting in class next to her.

>Take the girls hand with both of mine.
>"Could we talk alone for a moment?"
>"S- Sure anon.."
>Take her to stairs. Sit her down.
>Start going against every advice anyone has ever given me about girls.
>Cringeworthy half-drunken "I got so sad when I saw you kissing with that guy, I think you are so cute, I want to make you my princess, and take you around the world on adventures. I don't want to experience the last freedoms of my youth alone, and I think I finally found someone to share it with."
>Girl starts laughing.
>What have I done.
>She takes my hands, stares deeply into my eyes.
>After chatting a bit, she invites me on a date.
>>25658867
Well I'm curious. Do continue OP.
Curious what country are you in? And, is you mom or dad turkish?
>>25659351
My mother is Turkish. Scandinavia. Know it's not a country, just a bit too afraid of fucking things up to say too many details.
>>25659288
So we walked into the empty classroom, when her drunken girl friend had tried to pull us with her every fifteen minutes or so for a while, because I owed her a dance apparently.
As I was awkwardly dancing with her drunken girlfriend, the sleazy guy came back and tried frenching her. The drunken girl friend saw I was visibly trying to look away, so she went and pulled the sleazy guy away, and kissed her, herself. It was pretty funny.
I'll be going on a date with her in a few days. Got some pretty big plans.
I have a big red maglite flashlight on my bed.
Give me a good reason why shouldn't bash my head in with it.
>>25658732
Because you forgot to stream it
>>25658732
It's more difficult than you imagine. Use a hammer instead.
>>25658833
for some reason I am drawn to the flashlight
the coolness of the metal and the heavyness feels good in my hand
Damn /r9k/, this #wasteHisTime2016 thing really makes my blood boil. How can women be so fucking spiteful?
It's not justice--it would be justice if you were wasting the time of the guy who wasted yours. But you're advocating that women start being even more bitchy to men who have done nothing wrong.
It would be one thing if men were constantly dumping women, but they're not. Women and men instigate break-ups at the same rate (and women much more often in marriages)[1], and it hurts men way more[2] than women.
And then a lot of these are taking advantage of men in areas where they're already kind of screwed over. Tricking them into paying for meals and whatnot. At least there's been a pretty strong backlash, like pic related.

>>25658726
I love how women too are claiming that this is a "parody of the way men treat women" like they're the innocent ones.
The mental gymnastics that these cunts play never ceases to shock me
>>25658726
Women have always pulled shit like this. The only thing different is they are openly admitting it now.
Something I never understood: why is being penetrated seen as the "submissive" position? I mean, you're making a man do all the work, making him sweat and all you do is just sit there as he fucks you. Doesn't it seem like HE'S the submissive one if he has to put in the effort to please you?
>>25658239
It's the role of the woman - the more submissive gender.
>>25658260
>roles based solely on gender
>>25658239
Because the person doing all of the work is the leader, you faglord.

Now I am hit with huge regret that I didn't do this sooner. I wasted 6 years of my life being a faggot who only played video games.
for what it's worth i did the same thing, went to uni as a mature student, did better than all the normalfags because their lives have gone so perfectly that they can't understand self-direction or self-determination, and now my life is pretty sweet
if you stick to it, don't let yourself be beaten down by discouragement (i came close), and don't get complacent along the way because of minor successes, you will be very surprised how much better you are than normies for whom it all came easily.
no one cares that you're old, btw. pretty much no one cares about anything. as i started getting more socially adroit i started experimenting with exposing my pure autism to normies, and getting horrible reactions from them. i did it, i got my horrible reactions, and the next day they'd basically just forget. it blew me away that a normie wasn't like "WOW, NOW I KNOW YOU'RE A WEIRD FUCKING VIRGIN WHO PLAYS VIDYA ALL DAY AND HAS NO FRIENDS LOL." they just didn't give a shit. no one cares. it's sort of like walking to work and seeing someone with an overgrown lawn. you don't REMEMBER THAT LAWN FOREVER, you go "damn that lawn is overgrown" for 2.1 seconds if you notice it at all.
Tell me how you did it OP i'm the same age and feel like it's too late.
>>25658125
I did the same thing. Graduated right before turning 29. There were a few older students, most of them were real bros.

Is not having a car a big deal when dating?
>>25657230
yes, sluts expect not to have your mom drive you around
Huge, women don't want to drive you around and they'll know you have to rely on other people for the most basic of freedoms, which is freedom of movement.
In the US at least, I know a lot of countries that are smaller have more public transportation system users than drivers in metropolitan areas.

>Humanity has failed itself
>We possess such wonderful abilities and we use them for short term gain
>The best diet for a human is high fat, low carb (mostly from fibrous vegetables and fruit in season), and a diet rich is well-raised meat
>We have destroyed the forest we used to harvest these things from
>We instead use the land to grow grain which we either eat directly or feed to livestock
>The livestock we feed is worse off for us (and themselves) due to an unnatural diet
>We destroy the land with farming, because destruction is more profitable (monetarily) than restorative agriculture
>We destroy more land to harvest oil, mine metals, and other materials to make our lives more sedentary
>We now possess knowledge to reverse desertification and mend our broken landscape
>We don't. We plant lawns, trees we cannot eat from, and keep animals we do not ingest
>We say this makes us more advanced
>I am called a regressive because I want to restore the species that humanity built its legacy upon

>>25656541
Yeah, well, it won't unfuck us unless everyone feels this way.
>you aren't crazy, you're pathetic.
Everyone "could" do a lot of things. Grow up and realize oil isn't going to run out for a long fucking time. Realize like everything, this earth is going to burn to cigarette dust. And maybe you should spend your time blowing, instead of sucking
It is obvious that Elliot Rodger would find sympathy on /r9k/, but what exactly was it about him that gave him a cult following here?
>>25655866
Maybe the fact that hes a misogynistic autist that did what everyone here dreams of doing?
The media titled him as the Virgin Killer, he had an extreme hate for roasties, he was an actual autist, and he got cucked by his sister
The following is in parts ironic, I strongly believe.
Also, there are not many who actually pulled through with doing harm and also making their intentions and thinking clear.
Are anti-anxiety meds worth it and will they finally let me have friends?
benzos are worth it if you have strong will power and can control yourself. benzos are a slippery slope and you can become addicted very easy and die from withdrawals.
