There are so many young people on this board.
Sometimes it can be hard to relate to them.
Lets get a 25+ thread going so the older folks can chat and make friends. I'll go first.

Hi there!
How are you doing tonight?
28F
I'm not sure what kind of elevated discussion we're supposed to have here, though. We gonna talk about doing our taxes?
>>23396867
>>23396836
>>23396833
How many of you still live at home with your parents?
>>23396872
I moved out when I turned 18 because I was "independent" and "didn't need anyone". I wish I would have taken advantage of a free place to live and home cooked meals every night for a couple years.
>>23396872
I live in a low-end 400 square foot studio apartment alone in a place where cars regularly end up on cinderblocks overnight.
Don't be in a hurry to move out.
>>23396889
I moved out at 18 and never looked back. When I was in my early twenties I lived in shit areas but now I'm doing fine and would not go back and change it. I feel like I gained much more in character by struggling early on.
>>23396867
29 M
We can talk taxes, 401(k), decent breakfast recipes, weird sex stuff, travel, whatever you want I suppose.
>>23396898
I guess I moved out at 18 (because dorms) but didn't really live in my own place until 23
m/25/NorCal
turing 26 soon.
>>23396908
And about how all of our friends have kids and we're that awkward sunovabitch that doesn't get always get invited out with them anymore because we're becoming unrelate-able but they still try to set us up with random people in the hopes that we make a baby soon?
>>23396889
Yeah, my late teens and early 20s were spent in really shitty apartments with a lazy boyfriend who did absolutely nothing to better our life.
>>23396898
Absolutely true. You learn how to take care of yourself and to survive on your own. I think it made me a stronger person.
>>23396908
If you honestly have decent breakfast recipes lay them on me. I'm a great cook but I just don't do breakfast too often.
>>23396934
Couldn't agree more about the stronger person. I meet people now and I pretty much think they are failures because they can't do laundry.
>>23396924
I mean yeah, we can talk about that, too.
That's got to feel...weird.
>>23396951
Oh. So just me then.
Well alright.
About that breakfast...
26/M/France
Yeah i went back to my parents home since 1.5 years due to a breakup
Life is still good, i can make some good saving to travel
>>23396951
Can we not talk about it..?
>>23396934
I mainly make eggs over medium, and eat them with toast.
Or, Challah french toast. Honestly most of my recipes are just making breakfast potatoes and throwing last night's vegetables with today's egg whites.
>>23396967
>>23396960
No we can talk about it - I just feel kinda bad now because I'm actually one of those married people. And I just found out I'm having my 1st kid.
And the undercurrent of terror that has dominated my life since that moment has brought me back to /soc/
>>23396972
I do toast with sliced tomato and avocado with over easy eggs on top. Cracked pepper and sea salt on top. Hot sauce optional.
>>23396977
You enjoy that, maybe you'll be too preoccupied now to try and set me up with one of your random friends lol
>>23396993
Probably. I'll spare you the blind date. I could probably use a babysitter, though. And a drinking buddy.
Just not at the same time, I guess.
>>23397007
I can do either. Pay me money to watch the kid, pay me booze to hear your woes about life. Win-win-win.
>>23397013
Then it's settled. See you in 8 months.
Well I left home 3 days after graduating high school, spent 14 months in the military, pulled off a ROTC, scholarship. Went from dirt poor attended a state university and mobed up through the officer ranks.
I decided I wasn't staying in my hometown and left 3 days after graduation. I pulled the long straw and won.
Do I have issues, oh hell ya. 3 beautiful kids. Great career. $100K job. And a wife who won't fuck me.
Kik:
Superconmax
>>23396945
My younger siblings went the other direction. They stayed home for a long time and I swear to god my youngest brother has no idea how to do laundry or the dishes. It makes me sad.
>>23396972
I think my best breakfast is probably chorizo and eggs. It's delicious but is a pain in the ass to make.
>>23396984
I require hot sauce on my eggs. Always.
>>23397030
Chorizo and eggs is amazing.
I forgot about biscuits and gravy, as well.
>>23397030
Mmmm chorizo... So when are you making me breakfast?
26 here. Time fucking flies and I still haven't a clue what I'm doing. :D
>>23397036
I make biscuits and gravy but I take ground beef(not too much) and cook it in the gravy. Delicious.
>>23397041
When you bring the chorizo and eggs to my house!
>>23397043
I have a career, comfortable place to live, dog and a cat and I still have no idea what I'm doing.
>>23397047
I do breakfast sausage usually, then scratch-make the gravy from the sausage fat with flour and milk.
I may have to try the ground beef though.
>>23397047
Cool see ya in eight hours for brunch. Should I bring anything else? What type of dog you got?
>>23397043
You are decidedly not alone in that, sir.
>>23397062
Don't go to the dark side!! Sausage gravy is GOAT !
>>23397062
I'm just not a fan of breakfast sausage. I also don't like ham and I know a lot of people who think ham is a great breakfast meat.
>>23397065
Fantastic! I have a Jack Russell who is kind of the coolest dog ever. My cat is a bitch though.
>>23397084
1. You are entitled to whatever breakfast meat you want.
2. Jack Russell's are awesome. I want one. I wanted any dog, but I love my wife, so I have 2 cats now.
3. Even when cats are cool, they are bitches.
>>23397094
Don't mind the errant apostrophe, please.
>>23397084
Jack Russell's are the only small dogs I like.
Breakfast ham sucks, you are not alone on that.
I'm a big sausage and bacon fan, gotta have both when I go to Cracker Barrel
>>23397094
Yeah my cat is kind of a bitch. I mean I love her to death but I also hate her at the same time. Do you REALLY need to attack the toilet paper roll? Is that necessary?
>>23397099
He's a little firecracker. Always fun to have around.
And yeah breakfast ham is stupid.
>>23397231
One of our cats has this new thing where she jumps on the bed at 4 in the morning and touches my face until I wake up. It would be charming, I guess, but she's not declawed.
25/m/Brazil
>>23396880
moved out at 18 for the same reasons here
I regret nothing
27/f/CA
I don't come here as often as I used to desu
32 m Southern California. Own a condo, live with two cats, separated for over a year, waiting for the court to finalize divorce.
I consider 25 year olds to still be kids.
>>23397274
Anything over 25 appears to be at least 1,000 in internet years.
28 year old guy from Belgium here. How is everybody doing today?
>>23397243
My little girl likes to come in for affection and then sink her claws deep into my leg. Its how she shows her love. At least thats what I tell myself. I've got battle scars.
>>23397363
>>Its how she shows her love. At least thats what I tell myself.
It's the only way to make the relationship work.
26/m/US(midwest)
Line cook at a fine dining restaurant. Live weird hours since I work long long shifts often and typically from mid-late afternoon until 1 or 2 AM. Not really sure what else to say?? Ask me anything if you want.
>>23397424
What part of the midwest? I'm from Wisconsin
>>23397429
Ohio here, don't come you can't escape and it's awful.

30/m NW US
Feeling all responsible, job and stable and all. I'm actually turning 30 in a week, but close enough. I shirked and scoffed every opportunity now I'm going to be a 30 year old virgin with a car that has a mysterious bad odor I can't identify.
Having a little money, my own place, decent shape, not horrible looking but I can't stand immature people so I just sit around wallowing in my spare time.
Such is the life I have chosen, not that I'm happy with it.
25(26 in june) F Australia here.
Life is boring and lonely.
Anyone have plans for the weekend?
>>23397544
Why is life boring and lonely for you sweetheart?
27/m/Denmark
>>23397585
Every day is the same. Uni, work, sleep. I don't really have a lot of friends or a partner.
>>23397623
Sad to hear that. At our age, it's really good to be able to talk to people. Especially if you are in that work/sleep/... mentality.
What are you studying? What's your job?
>>23397632
Yeah it's definitely hard to make friends.
Studying Arts, work at a cafe.
What about you?
>>23396813

Married, 2 kids. The works. Sadly, my weekends are never boring!
Don't you have interesting classmates you can befriend? Or coworkers?
>>23397662

Talk to us about Australia. There's a company out there I'd love to work for and I'm curious what culture and weather are like.
>>23397662
I've definitely tried.
>>23397686
What company?
Sydney is currently going through a heatwave, yesterday it got to 41C
>>23397763
I'm sure you'll get there eventually.
25/Male/Sweden
My old bones ache and I'm bored as fuck.
>>23397043
25 here. made a apprenticeship for three years in a job i dont want to do for the rest of my life, after that i completed bachelor degree course in an useless subject, atm I am in the first semester of master degree. to be honest, i just started the master degree because I dont know what to do else.
cluelessness ist part of my life since I finnished th regular school.
Life goes on, clueless or according to plan
>>23397024
Except for military, sounds like me
28/M/England
Just because I'm 25+ doesn't mean I understand life. I believe it's a complicated game in which if you know how to play it, the system is designed for you, see I don't wanna play any games, I just want to have fun.
>>23396867
I guess what it means to be adult or not.
>>23396872
I live with my mum and I'm on minimum wage, I pay my mum money so I don't feel like I'm leeching but the truth is she has no money to leech off, it isn't like that.
Fact of the matter is I have no idea how to be "independent", it takes more than a months wages to live in the cheapest flat/apartment type place and everything is so expensive, I think you at least need somebody to move in with, a friend or girlfriend, basically double the income I suppose, well I don't have a girlfriend to move in with so I don't need to move out.
>>23397043
Everybody you knew is going to start to get married and have children, most likely not in that order.
Apart from the losers like ourselves who have no idea what were doing, because like you, that's pretty much how I feel about life.
Everybody is saying all this shit about moving out and trying to outdo each other in life and I'm like "I need a beer."
>>23396880
I did this same thing but i do not regret one bit. I think if i would not have done it i would of not got this sick work ethic i have now. At home it was safe to get good food and nice bed,some luxury as well. Free internet no rent etc. I was doing ok and my brains told me its enough you are surviving. When i tho moved on my own i realised if i want luxury and to do the things i have planned etc i need to make it happen by myself no one is going to give anything to me i gotta work and climb higer every day. 86 thousand seconds every day gotta make them count.

And now I'm trying to teach myself how to properly hold a conversation and not sweat or try and hide as I talk to people... I know I should just start talking to strangers but I don't think I have the emotional capabilities.

Being an adult is overrated.
28/m/Nigeria
I am basically living the NEETlife. I went to univesity for two undergrad degrees. Failed the first one in the final year and then quit halfway through the second one.
Been basically drifting through life for the last 6 or 7 years. Things are starting to look up a bit though. Got a girlfriend (who doesn't know I don't have a degree) and I started a business with my brother and while things aren't exploding yet maybe they will. Pity our economy was built heavily on the oil industry (the value of oil dropped by 2 thirds in the last 24 months) and we're now in a slow down
31/M/Outback
Usually I am shitposting on /pol/ but I broke containment...
Soooo, whatcha thinkin' about?

27M/Southern California
If you care to read my shit complaints, feel free.
Lived alone for about a year, but rent is fucking expensive down here, unless you're willing to get mugged or stabbed. In the process of moving back in with my parents, which is sad.
Been dealing with some mental illness shit for years, actually diagnosed, none of the tumblr bullshit. Sometimes it seems like the therapy works. Not a day goes by that I don't sigh to myself upon waking up. Doesn't help when you hate what you were delt as a starting hand. Like a shit hand you can no longer mulligan.
No kids (thank fuck), been working as an over night security guard for almost two years. Went to college and only got an AA in general science.
Like many here, no fucking clue what I want to do, or where I want to be.
I envy the ambitious and goal oriented. No dreams, hardly any passions, few friends and a strange almost co-obsessive 10 year relationship that I think does more harm than good.
Life sucks. I do think of killing myself from time to time, but be it fear or that I see it as pitiful way out, I continue to live.
Such is life I suppose.
30+/M/Aus It is too bloody hot so late at night
>>23397891
Which bit of the country are you from mate? Whats your job and education? I'm sure it's more than possible for you to have moved out by now

What makes it hard to relate to people under 25 on here. Most everyone is in the same boat.
29/F/Canadian living in America
Living here is the first time I have tried to be social, I have a small group of friends I actually go out and do things with. It's kind of nice, we play a lot of boardgames.
Adapting to America isn't as bad as I thought it would be, though I do miss Canada.
29/F east coast
hello 25+ I was in the kik group but forgot my password awhile back. hope everyone is doing good!
33/m/ small island
Damn, there is no life during the day here. Everyone is on a 9-5 schedule and get wasted at night, but I live an opposite schedule, I need to find a new hobby.
>>23398190
Northwest, I went to college and did general IT course, went to University but dropped out it was too hard for me, education just stressed me out.
Work at Sainsburys 16 hours a week, used to do night shifts and more hours but night shifts got cancelled so not anymore.
Maybe I could get more hours at work and more money but it just seems really unnecessary, I don't feel the need to move out and make my life harder than it needs to be, it's like shooting myself in the foot or something, I dunno.
Like I said, I only plan on moving out if I have a girlfriend and need our space, that's not happening in a hurry though so I am more than happy with my current lifestyle.
I really am pretty careless and easygoing when it comes to my life, people are just better at being an adult I suppose.
26/f/ Midwest.
how many people here are married, how many with kids? how do you keep your marriage a happy one?
>>23398291

45 M Maryland.
I've been to PEI. Long drive to get there, but it was worth it. It's a beautiful place. I became a huge fan of mussels after visiting and seafood restaurant there. It backed up to the water, and had a dock & a fishing boat. They said those mussels were just caught that day. I ate them like they were candy.
25/m
The older I get the more I want a younger girlfriend. Is it wrong I want to be with someone who is 18? It's this nurturing/protecting thing that I feel compelled to do.
>>23398290
Been married for 8years, no kids.
I think my marriage is happy, I know she is happy for sure. I got a few tips :
1. Get a cleaning lady once a week. Seriously, this seem shallow or futile or whatever, but it does solve 90% of the disputes of 90% of couples. because nobody wants to do the chores and every loves to have a clean home. It makes everyone happy and cost less than a restaurant/dinner a week. Every friend couple I have advised this got instantly better.
2. Listen and compromise. Listen to what they have to say and try to see if a compromise is possible.
More to come
>>23398290
Not married, no kids, and I'm happy about that. I like not being tied down and having the freedom to travel and experience life the way I want.
33/m/southern California
happily married, 3 kids, together for about 18 years
>>23398400
kudos on the cleaning lady, been thinkin on much the same, time and energy between work and suchleaves littler time to clean, how much you pay for weekly?
>>23398400
we never have problems about cleaning. I'm really submissive and ocd. I like cleaning house a lot
>>23398391
not sure in your case. i myself if not married would probably look for someone at least my age if not about 5 years older at least. more experienced and relaxed than younger folks, and really wild in the bed, more so than 18 - 20 year olds
>>23398290
good sex, compromise and the occasional argument over dumb shit, every relationship needs a random argument, make up sex is awesome as long as the argument wasn't over exaggerated lol
28/M/Australia
29 in a few months. It feels like all i do these days is work. I like being busy but my social life isn't the same since moving cities.
29 (almost 30) /M/Australia.
Have friends, a (semi)decent job, but always up for making new friends
>>23398546
Also, single, no kids.
>>23398444
Yes, but the time you spend cleaning the house is time you could spend with your partner instead.
Or put another way, the time you spend cleaning the house is time he is spending without you. While he does need private time, both might not always be on the same schedule.
Advice 3 is actually this : Have some private garden, both need a private time, private hobby, whatever, something you guys don't share or little. Being apart sometimes works wonders to reunite afterwards.
>>23398437
Prices really varies on where you leave, and the space you have, that doesn't mean much.
That said, we currently pay her 80/week for 6hours/week. but again, we are in different countries.
First TIme posting, 28 m ky. LIfe sucks got a beautiful kid. dead end job that i have worked for years not making any money. 401k, ira. stock. insurance make it ok. got a decent wife who wont have sex with me. boss hates me. lifes a bitch, but my kid keeps me going. depressed, fat and unhappy

how does the rest of you look?
you ever think of visiting western Canada?
you got a skype?
>>23398379
I miss living in the island a lot, it's a beautiful place.
>>23398797
I have 6 legs, no ass and am full of worms.
I've lived in western Canada. For now I am staying in America.
27/m/Norway here
>>23398232
It helps that there is a common language in America and Canada. But I can relate with having an intimate group of friends and doing small things here and there, but I can't stand clubs. Board games are fun but I don't get the chance to play them much.
What do you specifically miss about Canada? Timmys I assume?
>>23398858
Just little things, certian lingo. Ketchup chips. Nature here in new mexico is very different from the places I grew up in, I miss the ocean a lot. Laying in bed at night with my eyes closed hearing the waves crashing, very peaceful.
>>23398871
I would recommend an app that simulates ocean wave sounds. I use to live by the ocean myself and that's what I've had to do to help fall asleep
>>23398871
Ahh well it's certainly very different in New Mexico to Canada, and even most other states for that matter. Ketchup chips sound delightful. I've always wanted to try poutine as well.
I grew up in southern California my whole life so I do have the luxury of going to the beach whenever I can, but it sounds like you lived really close to the beach. That definitely seems like something worthy to yearn for.
>>23398882
I actually use one and it for sure helps. I still miss the real deal though.
>>23398883
Yeah I lived in an old house (100 yrs old) about 2 blocks from the beach in a small area of the island called Cavendish. It was really something. Poutine you can make at home if you can get your hands on some cheese curds (places like Sprouts sell them) then you just need some crisp fries and brown gravy!
>>23398884
Yeah I do too. I also miss being able to wake up and go surfing every morning. I used to live right on the beach and that was my wake up routine/exercise every morning
>>23398893
That sounds very dreamy to be honest. Why the heck would you even leave such a place!? Haha
Yea anyone could go ahead and attempt to make something but I suppose it's no the same as having it in the country that it is known for. I mean as an example, I went to Spain a few months ago, and the paella was quite a treat since the environment and ambiance was also something worth taking in.
>>23398609
my wife and i share video games, while we'll play together sometimes, others we'll dominate the console and have that as our alone time lol. i agree with this tho, being together in the beginning is a "cute" thing and couples normally embrace this, but as years go by, they tend to cuddle less (more of when going to sleep, occasionally when waking up and even after sex). a lot of people may feel as though their mate is drifting apart, but after 5 - 10 years, you've done most everything there is together, the alone time and personal space is needed especially if there's kids.
>>23398620
I'll have to look into this lol
>>23398905
I feel you, it's special being so close to the ocean.
>>23398909
I got a great job offer through a friend, better than the little restaurant I was working in. I understand the food thing, though I make poutine for my friends here ok occasion.
>>23398791
marriage is normally when sex slows, most times not even due to anything personal, just life gets taximg with work/chores/kids.
you ever sit down and speak to her about this?
>>23398257
I might remember you from that kik group. How can we get in touch again? Hope you are doing well too!
>>23398921
Ahhh I see, sacrifices must be made at times. I wish you luck with your professional endeavors.
I suppose you also miss having snow? The heat must be unbearable for you.
>>23398981
We still get snow, we had a bit of a snow storm this Christmas though it's no where near as much as I am accustomed. It can be very warm yes, though summers in the island were very warm too, this place its the dryness of the heat that really gets to you. Thank you for your well wishes
25/m/uk/Cambridge
My age is starting to get to me.
>>23398991
Oh no way! I was unaware that New Mexico gets snow to be honest haha. I have family that live out in Arizona and they don't get much snow, and so I figured it would be the same for New Mexico. The dryness in the air is killer though.
What is your favorite board game? What is one thing that you've really enjoyed about your stay here in America?
>>23398609
yah idk he just doesn't seem like he enjoys being around me or our kids. he likes doing his own thing so I just try to keep the kids out of his hair and the house clean. he just seems like pissed off all the time and I'm not sure what i can do to help
39/m/Europe
Been here pretty much since the beginning. Remember, you can never leave. Even though I have hardly watched animu or played vidya in the last few years I'm still here.
>>23398918
but it's not really fair for one person to have all the time they want to themselves to do what they feel like while the other person is always watching after the kids and feeling lonely and unwanted.
>>23399045
We actually had a bit of snow 2 days ago, it was odd. Right now the best board game I have played is called The Red Dragon Inn, it is a crazy amount of fun. One thing I have enjoyed about being here in America aside from the new experience as a whole would be the food, new mexican food is damn good, plus I have made some really really good friends here and the hiking is killer.
>>23399070
this is true, he should be sharing the responsibilities as well as allowing you free time to yourself.
25/m/us-909

>>23399082
I don't even really mind the not having time to myself. I just miss him and wish he wanted to spend time with me and want to help with the kids
31/m/socal
Finally got a decent paying job last year, where I get my rent paid in less than 1 paycheck and not looking at the cost of everything.
Money used to be a huge stress point. It's a really good feeling bit having to worry about it.
yes, definitely. thats my job at home is enforcer for the kiddos lol. but we also take the time to spend with them as well as have our time together. i can see where youre feeling abandoned and you shouldnt be left to feel like that
>>23399156
I feel like there has to be some way for me to fix things I'm just not sure how
Having reached 32 virgin and unemployed, yeah you can say I have no idea what I'm doing. And even less of an idea on what the fuck to do. This despite having a degree in engineering, going completely to waste. I daydream of moving to another country where even a lowly prole can get a dignified wage and becoming a dockworker or construction worker or something. But I know even that is beyond my reach, because my parents are pretty old already and I'll have to care for them sooner rather later, despite not knowing how to take care of myself.
Could i get an add to the +25 kik group?

None of my friends have kids yet, but some are married and all are in relationships, I'm the awkward single most of the time, feels bad :/
But yeah, don't be in a rush for kids unless you think you want them, I can totally relate to not wanting children..
>>23397043
Me neither, not always but most of the time, finished my studies, but have trouble finding something interesting to do...
I think it's not that much of a problem since most people have no clue what they are doing and they made it pretty far :D
>>23397648
>Yeah it's definitely hard to make friends.
I don't think that's true unless you are very shy/introverted or have social anxiety.
You will never get the chance to meet that much people than you have now while at a university. As stupid as it sounds, just talk to people.

Sounds like you'll love SA. Tubing in the summer is hella fun. My fave dive bar there was Oak Hills Tavern and fave clubish type place was The Phantom Room. SA also has a pretty active Reddit community of you're a fag like that (but no I really met some cool folks through Reddit)
>>23400441
I have some friends in Austin I went tubing with a couple of times. Don't have a lot of friends down here though. I really am not a fan of most redditors but how did you meet them?

Join the SA Reddit group on FB. They have a lot of meet ups but just watch yourself. Redditors can be sensitive plebs. They cool though

Oh and if you like to hookah, Double Apple Cafe was my shit.

Sadly, my magicks, mighty as they are, don't help me now. Fireballs and golems are nice and all, but the overgods who crafted these spells never made ones for "pad resume" or "meet people".
But holding me back from what, exactly? Well part of the problem is, I have no objective in life, what with "getting a job in engineering" already being impossible. I never really cultivated any skills or hobbies or any sort of constructive activity really, and now I'm paying the price. Quite literally no reason to live.
>>23399652
>That sounds terrible man, I would tell you to just go for it, but that's just me. If you managed to get a degree you should be able to find a job as well, if you really want to..
Well, getting A job shouldn't be a problem I suppose, but the 3rd world isn't known for the high living standards of its working class. I appreciate the thought, by the way.

Life is hard when the bar is set so high amongst the general populous here. I say that because I'm pushing myself to exceed my peers, but no one seems to care. They notice, but they don't care.
Oh well,
If the bottom falls from beneath me..I guess I'll just bum it out. Or get government aid. Honestly I'd rather be a bum.
God fucking damn it, I hate real life.
what a world
>>23400555
I feel ya man, just got out of a 4 year marriage myself. Dating is fucking intimidating. Best part of being married was thinking I'd never have to deal with this bullshit again. When Tinder came out I thought "oh thank god I don't have to do that". I don't really have any good advice sadly, just keep doing it until it works. You got it right once, so it's in there somewhere. That's what i tell myself anyway.
>>23400542
>Why do I feel like I'm a terrible person for telling the truth about something
That something is true doesn't have much bearing on how easy or hard it is to hear and accept.
A person might truly be dying from an incurable disease but that doesn't make it any easier for their doctor to deliver the news, or for the patient to hear it.
Knowing it's true can help a person get through the pain. But that's about the best it can do.
I do wonder whether you've talked to her about this, or if it's just a decision you made without her, simply from how you worded it. The communication "I'm breaking up with you because that's easier on me," true as it may be, is a little more difficult to hear for the other person, since it's something being done *to* them, not with them. Perhaps that's part of why you feel terrible?
Good luck to both of you, whatever happens.

>>23398290
Also in the Midwest. Only been married for a few months but we dated for years. We both talk through our problems and compromise, 99% of the time we can find a solution that works for both of us no matter what the issue. Also, my biggest tip is you both need something to do individually. The couples I know that feel they have to be together every waking hour ether burn out in six months or end up miserable. My wife reads and watches Netflix in the living room and I sit on my computer in the office on the nights we don't do stuff together. It helps keep the peace.
>>23396813
27/m/Midwest here. Married a few months ago, been teaching for three years, getting better at the adult shit.
I bought a house about three years ago and it's the most cathartic experience I've ever had. It's so rewarding to take a room and redo everything the way you want it. I could never go back to the apartment life unless we're talking penthouse suites. Currently upgrading my living room and need to paint the outside of my house along with some landscaping. Shit is fun.

34 male tattoo artist in Chicago
Spent my 20s fucking around not caring. Went to school for vidya game design. Industry is already saturated so just did some concept art projects. Not enough pay
Worked for blockbuster, then tried the navy, got separated out after boot camp (so no military record), worked at Gamestop, then warehouse after warehouse
Then at 28 got a tattoo apprenticeship for my drawings. It was a hard year of working and not getting paid. But I stayed with it and it worked out.
I was never good for office work. It was either manual labor or find a way to make art work for me. I dont even like art I just drew throughout school because I hated being in class so drawing was my escape. Good thing it was killing small animals or someting

Meeting people in my teens/early 20's was so much easier. "Hey you like weeb shit? Me too lets run around the mall and be loud". Now I've outgrown most of those friends. But meeting new people at my age is a nightmare, especially in this antisocial city.
>>23403896
I have plans moving to a more rural area in the future. I think it's about being valuable to people around you and generous with time and resources (to a reasonable extent, making dinner for someone and shoot the shit with some cans of beer is reasonable) you can get friends.
I am an optimist but I think it's about focusing on it and trying to have a fun time with the right non-cunty people.

28/M/Hawaii
Yep, I'm approaching that point. My experience is a little different, but I think you'd relate. I'm military, so while my oldest friends back home are starting to have kids that's not so much an issue. What I notice is the group I hang out with is getting younger as the people my age are getting married and talking about kids. Or getting divorced. That's another element of my peer group.
I do have married friends/acquaintances as well, of course, but the women will eventually elude to hooking me up with someone while the men inevitably tell me I need to get laid. All I'm thinking about is how much further I hoped to be at this point in my life, and how getting into a relationship would almost certainly destroy any hope of achieving my initial goals.
Not that I'm entirely opposed to dating, but... I dunno. It would have to be someone worth throwing everything away for, and hopefully with someone like that I wouldnt actually have to.
Glad to see this thread back

I'm at a point in my life where I just feel done. I've accomplished everything I set out to do. I make a better wage than any one of my friends or family, hovers around 115k usd, I have an intelligent neet gf that programs and enjoys making video games. I live in a nice apt and have no plans to purchase a home or get married.
All of my friends are engaged, married and generally very focused on their own lives.
I'm constantly saddened by my accomplishments and life.
>>23408632
Go outside exercise and just go places and talk to people where it's socially appropriate. Like dance halls maybe?

I don't know why he is sad by his accomplishments. I am actually curious about it myself. I was going to ask him politely but you got ahead of me.
>>23408966
Nope. I live a pretty good life I just don't know how to describe why I'm so damn maladjusted. I take month long vacations, can fuck who I want and have deep friendships.
The people around me, their lives are broken. My friends work dead end jobs, have terrible family problems and just live like shit. Watching the people I care about slowly disintegrate while my own life gets better just makes me feel really fucking guilty. I didn't come from anything either and life has just been fortunate to me, makes me realize just how damn arbitrary success is.
>>23409018
Then start stacking the deck for people. Do something with your money like a foundation for the very unfortunate? Help schoolkids achieve or something and reward good grades or whatever.

It's a form of survivors guilt. I'm happy just lying around in bed reading but can't seem to do anything to help out anyone I give a damn about.

>>23409080
Money is only a tool to achieve things in life. It is never the answer to any problem.
You can build shit with it though that has a lasting legacy or something you dream about or think is cool.

He right now, as I type this, is picking up his bottle and throwing at my laptop.
One time we had the air mattress setup for the MIL. It's kinda high off the ground but figured he'd be ok since he handles the couch fine. Nope, he only seems to get off the air mattress by falling on his head. MIL ended up sleeping on the couch because we couldn't keep him off the mattress.
We pushed the coffee table in front of the TV because it keeps him out of the cable boxes and what not (he's yet to figure out he can crawl under it because he loves walking so much). One time I took my eyes off of him for what musta been 30 seconds and he was standing on the coffee table trying to push over my 55" TV. Caught him in time though.
Can't leave my keys where he can see them, otherwise I'll never see them again. He loves them as a toy and the fact they're forbidden makes them more enticing. He's a key seeking missile.
We have to block off the kitchen, not because he gets into the stove or whatever but because he grabs the dogs water bowl and tosses it around. It gets very wet.

So if I am a patient man by most metrics I will still become red in my face from time to time if I become a parent?
27/M/Midwest
I've never been able to make any friends at all and even with help women seem entirely disinterested in speaking to me to begin with. I just had to move back in with my dad a few months ago after my landlord raped me and stole a bunch of my belongings and came back with only my backpack with a couple days worth of clothes
I've wanted to be a programmer since I was a little kid. But I've struggled to learn for years and get infuriated because I see people who years younger than me and learn to code in like a year and suddenly have jobs and I can barely get a shitty job stocking shelves in a grocery store.
I've been seeing various psychs/therapists for years and get super angry when people tell me I need to see one since I have been basically my entire fucking life.
I've completely given up on my life, and may kill myself soon.
>>23409507
Why not report the rape to the police? Also get certified in a programming language and look for an entry level coding job.
>>23409506
100%. I always considered myself to be patient and gentle but you really have no idea until you have something like a kid. Thing is they need CONSTANT attention. Like a dog you can put outside or a crate or something. You can even just leave the house and collect yourself. But you can't really do that with a kid.
I mean it is worth it, I love my son and suspect I'll love him a lot more as he gets older and we can actually do father/son activities but right now it's stressful as shit.
>>23409517
I did report it but at first literally no one believed me. Then this girl I knew where I was living took me to the police station and backed me because she'd seen a bunch of weird texts and emails he'd sent me. Then I had to move back to a different part of the country to be with my dad and sisters. A detective emailed me about it a few times but I decided to drop it because it stressed me out so much and with the amount of people who have
And I've tried to get certified or take classes or have people I know who code teach me. I just cannot retain any of it. It's really hard for me, and I've had people tell me it's probably not something I'll be able to learn(and I've spent a large chunk of my life trying). I tried to move ont o different things but I have struggled with basically everything. I tried to help a guy fix up a house he was planning to flip and even though he was paying me less than he normally paid people he offered to teach me how to do all sorts of stuff like installing lighting and flooring and repairing damaged walls. I was terrified when he wanted to show me how to use a table saw though. And eventually he left to go to the store to get supplies and had me paint a door and insisted that I not let the paint run but I couldn't get the paint to stop dripping and it was making me angry and I punched a hole in the wall.
So I just left and never spoke to him again.
I also tried to work with a guitar luthier and I had trouble with that too.
The other thing I wanted to do in school was to be a doctor or a pharmacist. But if I have trouble with coding I definitely don't think that'll be much easier.

My life is pretty uninteresting, I just work a lot and when I'm not working I'm probably thinking about work. Once in a while I take a month or so off to travel and spend time with my pets, but for some reason I get more anxiety than relaxation to have that type of free time. Even though I'm older, I don't think I've changed much since I was 19.

Why would you say you haven't changed since you were 19? I find that to be a bit interesting.

29/m/UK.
Been in work for almost 15 years. Recently laid off. Fuck my life senpai.
Now just trying to figure out how to not become a perma-NEET and exercising to stay in shape.
>>23396924
Fuck those people. I'm trying to talk about my hefty weekend where I got so drunk I tried to flirt with the hot girl dressed as a police officer... Turned out she was a police officer. But all they want to talk about is reality TV and how thier mutant spawn has doing something really worth mentioning. Like walking, or eating thier veg etc.
Anyway hear theres a kik group?

Funny how being a homeowner seems like a bad thing to kids these days...
>>23409506
Tbh nephews have taught me the importance of a playpen, btw one with high walls, otherwise the parcour out, that way I can at least wash up the mess after dinner without worrying
>>23409560
Why not try the coding classes they are giving kids in private schools in the uk? Its much more visually orientated aand less messing around with matrices you might not understand
Im learning .net and html and css and im now junior programer though pay sucks in spain
You could even get one of those raspberry pie gadgets, very usefull in learning code in a more practical way
Btw 27/m

It doesn't help that my work is almost 100% solitary, so I don't meet people that way.

A bit sad atm.
Anyone want to kik?
>>23410437
They had some classes like that where I was living and I did worse than pretty much every one else.
I just have a lot of retaining information in general. I actually have brain damage as well as some mental illnesses and disabilities that other people tell me seem rather severe.
I've also always had trouble with learning to be honest and it has only gotten worse as I've gotten older.
32/M/Virginia
Not a lot of friends here, just muh girl. Originally from PA.
>>23410469
Yes kik !
>>23410529
Yours pls?
>>23410488
Well dude I guess you're screwed learning then.
My sugestion would be then for you to volunteer helping out ppl then, it will help you deal with your rage, stop you from feeling useless and help you feel good from helping other ppl survive in this harsh world
>>23410661
I don't feel useless at all though. Things never work out for me no matter how much time I spend on them and I have no idea. That doesn't mean I think I'm useless. I don't think I should be in this position at all but it's how things have gone and I can't really do much about it that I haven't already.
and lol rage where did you get that from
but to be honest I actually don't really care about helping people out at all(not to say this means I don't care about other people but I don't typically care to help other people with things especially considering how much I've been told no one cares about me either i just assume this is how people are by default). I'd be happy just playing video games or even removing myself from the world entirely.
The only reason I try to build a life beyond what I have at this point is because I'm told it's the only way women will ever be interested in me either for a relationship or sex. I honestly have no idea how that stuff works though
But that doesn't really matter much if I can't get women to so much as speak to me at all unless they have to. My life is fine otherwise.
>>23410709
I got rage from you punching a hole in the wall cuz you couldnt stop paint dripping...
>>23410831
And being infuriated about young people being able to learn code.
>>23411009
well yeah I'm infuriated because I've been trying to learn since I was in fucking middle school and wasted hundreds if not thousands of hours
and then all these stupid fucking faggots I know spend a lot less time on it and actually become good at it and get jobs while I'm stuck being poor as fuck and it makes me want to slit their fucking throats.
This one girl I used to think was my friends until she just disappeared on me one day I found out works as a software engineer. She was a fucking history major and was in grad school for some completely different shit. Then in the past year suddenly she's doing what I've been trying over half my life to do and it makes me to stab her in her fucking face
>>23410831
Yeah, I get angry very very easily even with my meds. But I usually calm down pretty quickly. A lot of times I don't even remember when I throw fits like that and people tell me and I have no idea what they are talking about.

>>23414011
How do you not change in any significant way in 10 years? Even subtle changes?
>>23414119
My parents are getting really old and it's starting to show. It's actually depressing that they are in theirr final years on this green earth.
>tfw almost 23
>tfw weirded out when 18 and 19 year olds post here
>>23414740
So you can imagine how I feel about you
>>23414750
No need to be a bitch bro. I am older than both of you two and I think you would be more weirded out that I am a couple of years older than you than I even care that you are younger than me,
>>23414762
My point was to make him realise what you're trying to make me realise but I already realise what that is. That after about 16 age becomes much less important
>>23398260
Stop being a lazy fucker and get a full time job, one with some prospects.
I have no education, not even GCSE'S but it doesn't stop me being a network consultant. Get a fucking grip and make something of yourself.
Also, that girlfriend isn't coming along when you're almost 30 and still on mothers milk ;)
>>23414697
There are some changes but it's mainly in my mind, my position in society, in life, is very much the exactly the same. I'm not proud of that of course but I am a deep person, things like that don't really interest me.
I mean since I was 18 I've binged drinked, gone through my weed phase, watched a ton of films/anime and don't even start on the different genres of music I've expored.
I don't buy into the Buddhist thing that we're a different person each day to the next, our mind makes our world and such, I don't actually believe that but yes there are some changes but in general, I'm the same person I was at 18, just with a little more knowledge and world experience but don't let that fool you, I mean we have a core and that core is very unchanged to me and honestly that's something I am proud of.
I mean how many people change and become different, there's literally people in this world that like things just because other people like them or it will help get them laid, so not changing for me is something beautiful.
>>23414995
Its not like I'm afraid of working full time in a job with prospects anon, I just doubt I'd be able to get a job like that. And congrats getting a job like that, I don't know shit about networking. My perfect job would involve typing shit but I bet you need a fucking masters degree for that these days.
Anyways, I don't live off my mothers milk anon I can see what you wee trying to do.

That creepy feel when you want to talk to 18/19 year old girls and have enough friends.
>>23415085
I'm not saying you do but that's how its going to look to others though.
Half of the people I work with don't know shit about networks, we just know how to bullshit CV'S and interviews.
You can get that perfect typing job if that's what you really want, just have some faith mate. I suffer from terrible depression and anxiety but I won't let it stop me when I need something, if a pleb like me can land that nice job then so can you!!
>>23415085
Yo, anon, if you have a shitty job just teach yourself how to program. You legit do not need a degree, just bust your ass for like a year, teach yourself Java SE and then ME. Then use what you know to learn the syntax of other languages. You'll be making 70gs a year (which is seen as poor people money) in the industry in no time, and if you keep self educating/getting better well over 100+ in a decade.
I own a construction company, we do really well, I created a program and posted samples of it on git a while back and I get recruitment calls to this day. It's legit not that hard.
>>23415108
Thanks for your support anon, I know you mean well, hopefully one day I can do something.
I always figured that that's what half of being a grown is all about is knowing how to bullshit and using that to land a better position in society.
I guess I am lazy but it is mainly a symptom of the way things turned out for me, maybe one day I will improve but I know it's not today.
>>23415112
Sounds pretty hard to me anon:(
>>23415134
It sounds hard because you haven't tried it. Anybody can program, it's like learning a language. Like I said, I'm a carpenter and I figured it out. It's not like I'm super intelligent or anything.
>>23415141
Learning languages is pretty hard for me anon, I remember being okay at German when I was a child in high school but not anymore, my brain doesn't function like it used to from the weed phase and the alcohol binge drinking I did, I'm much slower and dumber now.
Look I know that I'm not living the way I should be or what society demands of somebody my age, I'm just not a conformist, I find it hard to be like other people.
>>23409982
i'm not interested in fwb situations sadly, low investment and low return for me personally.
>>23410009
aside from financial independence, i guess i just feel like the majority of my hobbies, skills, and general perspective was developed at a young age. i still hold the same values and goals as my 19yo self if that says anything haha. maybe i've always been an oldie at heart?
>>23414011
>>23415051
i think you've adequately summarized my sentiments right there! there is indeed something beautiful about remaining true and honest to yourself, though at the same time i do welcome change and new experiences.
>>23415112
nothing against you- but that type of mentality really bums me out. when professions like programming and teaching are treated so inconsequentially, it's a severe offense to those of us who cherish and are passionate in said fields.
>>23415345
The important thing is remaining true through these new experiences, there were so many times throughout my life that people are pushing you in a different direction, trying to get you to change, even experiences themselves by design should change you but staying yourself is challenging, I find what happens is you tend to absorb the new self rather than become it.
>>23415345
Who treated programming inconsequentially? I said it wasn't difficult to get into, not that you should do something you shouldn't enjoy. Obviously I was interested in it enough to design an entire program, so it's not as if I just walked into it going "Just program for dough".
>>23415372

Self employed with a great job, I just don't get enough work.
I don't want to sound like I'm fishing for sympathy/pity/what have you, but easiest way to some up this part of is.
I'm a kissless virgin, it's not that consumes my life but I'm not going to pretend that it doesn't affect me.
A little while ago I met a woman indirectly off of 4Chan, we've hung out a couple times.
This is the first time I've hung out with a girl in almost 15 years, and I'm really starting to regret ever meeting her.
>>23415112
A decade? The people I know who didn't go to college were making that after like 2-3 years and the ones who did made like 90k out of school.
I'm really really fucking upset I failed out of college and couldn't teach myself to code.
>>23415141
It fucking infuriates me when people say "anyone can learn to code" when I've spent half my goddamn life trying to learn and have nothing to show for it and want to slit the fucking throats of every fucking person I know who is a programmer. Especially the ones who went to school for other shit.
>>23415372
That anon's point was it isn't just that easy like you're making it sound. And based on personal experience I'm inclined to agree.
m/24 be 25 next month
Taking care of both dying parents while sister moves from husband to husband like she has since 18. Make enough to get by, but just barely. Cant move to get new job, cant pay for someone else to take care of them. Long glances at the pillow. Not that I really know how to work life anyways. Boy oh boy, cant wait for it to get better maybe.
>>23396872
i'm 24 and have been struggling with my health for years after brain surgeries.
going on disability here soon, since 4chan convinced me i shouldn't feel guilty about doing so anymore.
>>23418583
24 about to turn 25 in a few weeks* whoops
>>23418517
you sound like the male version of me, my sister can't stay with one guy and has multiple children now, both my parents are dying from genetic brain diseases and i struggle to take care of them and myself (since i have the same brain disease as my mom).
i still believe life will get better though, it certainly can't get much worse.
>>23418583
Are you at least cute?
29/m/wi
>>23415361
what do you mean by "absorb the new self rather than become it"? i think i know where you're coming from- though sometimes i wonder if this resistance will turn us into very angry bitter old people down the line haha.
>>23415372
i meant no offense to you, nor did i question your inherent interest in the subject. i'm just observing that giving advice to strangers to pursue something because it isn't "difficult to get into" by your standard is a faulty way to approach life, even if you meant well. it's a disservice to the field and the individual, but we can agree to disagree- everyone operates differently and there's no harm in sharing different perspectives.
>>23417810
would it be all right to ask why you regret meeting her? as obvious as the answer may seem, i'm still interested in hearing your response.
>>23418517
>taking care of both dying parents
i'm sorry you have to endure something like this anon, there's nothing more painful than watching helplessly while your loved ones suffer. i live quite far from my family now, i honestly don't know what i'd do if they became ill and needed my support.
>>23416789
I don't have kik. But write here if you want.
>>23412356
It's called aptitude. They have it, you don't, get over it and become a security guard or some stupid low level job. Like sysadmin
>>23420112
I dunno, I was drunk when I posted, sometimes I feel I am into something but can't articulate it because I'm not that clever.
I think the essence if not forgetting your roots though, your core.
About the resistance and bitter old people, I think you're right. Instead of going with the flow and being uncaring about it.
>>23420168
I already have a low level job at Fedex moving boxes and I only got that job because they hired anyone and I knew someone who got me the job. I've actually never been able to get a job from interviewing at all. Even shitty jobs like stocking grocery shelves. And it took years of looking to get the job I have. I've not had the best luck.
And I know people have a different aptititude for things. In fact I'm usually the one who is pointing this out and then people are like no you're not getting anywhere because you aren't trying hard enough or don't want it enough.
Even though that's not how life works and people ignore me when I point this out. Or they tell me I'm just being too negative. Which also makes me angry. It's not being negative to say there's no guarantee this thing is going to work out or me to say something isn't working out for me long term because BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IT ISN'T
I'm probably literally going to kill someone over this to be honest. It makes me that angry.
>>23420134
I had the seizure while I was watching the movie Deadpool. I drove myself to the hospital after the movie, which in hindsight was a bad idea. While I was waiting for the doctors to get back with the test results, I looked at my girlfriend who came with me and said "I swear to fucking god if Deadpool gave me cancer I am going to be pissed". Also, state law says I can't drive for six months after a seizure happens. So that sucks majorly.
>>23420112
It's a very long story, I'll try to make this shortish.
Meet girl off of 4chan She's pretty much a trainwreck.
Enjoyed hanging out with her because she was very easy to talk to.
We wear both direct with no bullshit, it was refreshing to talk to someone like that.
Halfway through the second time we hung out I realized I had a thing for her.
She says and does some things that are beyond weird.
When texting he's becomes less Direct.
Some stupid shit happens, I decide I'm going to distance myself.
A week or two passes, and she has a meltdown in the online group we met from.
I get sucked back in because people turned to me to help her.
Despite my best efforts I give a shit.
tl;dr
I met a girl off of 4chan she's trainwreck, I care about her and wish I didn't.
If people want an actual full story with all the crazy shit you can give me some contact info and I'll tell you
24 about to turn 25 in a few months. I still remember high school and middle school. right now going to college and i'm almost done. don't really know what to do with my life and it's scary. not really bright but i'm very responsible. i wish i did more when i was younger. more volunteering or more activities. it was always school then home and would go out on the weekends sometimes. I feel like i'm in a daze. just going through the motions. there are moments when my body feels like it wants to sweat and do something mobile but my brain is just..frozen like a zombie. as i'm getting older i feel this massive urge to read and gain knowledge. i'm still young but old enough to start getting shit together. i know i'm not making any sense, just saying what is on my mind.
I turn 26 next month. I live in a big college area and it seems everyone I know who is my age has left the city. I just hang out with 19-22 year olds who just want to drink and party. It was a blast for a while but now I feel like I am starting to out grow it and feel old when hanging out with them. Been trying to meet people around my age who have full time jobs/young professionals but I havent had much luck. Bar scene is more of the same and tinder just leads to short term stuff. Whats a good way to meet new people? Any one else in RVA/804?
Hey I'm 35 long time relationship 4 kids
and I was forced to make a Snapchat my Senpai is pretty cool.

>>23416850
I mean, it wasn't like I did it without any help. I have friends who are developers and they certainly helped me along the way. Really all it takes is a LOT of focus. Like, a fucking ton of focus, and a ton of time. And a ton of fucking up nonstop, getting super fucking angry, figuring out your mistake, and doing it again.
>>23417863
I did get a degree in a science (geology) when I was younger, before I joined the carpenter's Union, so it's not like I'm some rando dummy. To me it just made sense pretty early on, and most of the other learning was with the help of friends, random meetups I found online, a bunch of online seminars (free and not free). I started with Java, learned as much as I could, and after I understood the basic logical constructs and how the common methodology worked, it translated pretty simply into learning other shit.
29/M/Canada
Random things actually start hurt now and I hate it
>>23422217
I never fucking said you were some random dummy and your response is just backing up that you were naturally inclined toward it and it's not really useful to tell someone "anyone can learn to code" because it was easy for you when I'm telling you that from personal experience this is not the case.

Don't apologize for it. I am happy you are doing ok. Most of the people on the site are not the internet hate machine.
>>23396813
31 M ok. oldfag since 2005. sad how time passes.
did well enough in school to graduate with an engineering degree. ended up going to med school. graduated and all but still don't know if it was worth it. not really a solitary person but not much going on in life outside of work, exercise and school. moving around and having asshole friends when you're younger kinda makes you lonely.
>>23415345
Hmm, well what about just a connection and going from there?
Actually, reading your posts I read a lot of myself there. Just feeling like you're in this feedback loop of temporary motivation and interest, taking steps toward something more professional or successful then feeling like you're just giving a part of yourself away simply to satisfy the requirements of a couple steps up on the social ladder or income brackets.
>>23420554
get all your stuff, move your car into a garage, and cut ties. offer as little explanation as you want, it's not like you owe it to her. start seeing a good therapist, or at the very least read about borderline personality disorder to educate yourself. you aren't helping her, she's just harming you. clean break, cut your losses, change your locks if need be
>>23420205
they're unlikely to report you. get on a good antiseizure med and you'll be fine. lamictal is usually pretty low on side effects. make sure you get an mri to confirm there's no tumor though

I have been too scared of spilling my spaghetti, but I may as well do it. Maybe I'll go to an improv or a comedy club or some other interesting performance or maybe one of the conventions.

Check out some of the bars on the river walk too. If nothing else, you might strike up a conversation with a tourist so you're not forced into a second meeting until you're comfortable enough to try.
>>23428274
I think I'd like to at least visit it. I want to get more in touch with the outdoors and Canada looks pretty beautiful.
>>23428576
That sounds like a good idea, actually, I didn't think of that.
>>23428566
Well the Six Flags in SA was cool last time I went there.
As >>23428576 mentioned the river walk was okay when I went there on a conference, although I felt naked not carrying there.
As for Houston I don't know anything interesting to do here, mostly my fault.
I have this Whiskey Bar I go to and it's pretty amazing, only pleasant middle aged upper middle class people go there.
Also have a very difficult time I'm going places I'm not familiar with, the spilling of my spaghetti factor is quite high.

I travel a lot for work and that's how I deal with my anxiety. Hit a local bar, have a little liquid courage, and strike up a conversation with people I'll never see again. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel once you try it.

31/f. I live in Minneapolis. I'm open to dating, if we hit it off, but I'm mostly trying to meet people and make friends.
>>23428904
Online ok or local only?

I had an mri and EEG done last Friday. I'll get the results today.

Oh, I was studying sedimentary geology, but somehow it segued into using paleontological data to show erosion rates through geologic time. re: Invertebrate sizes (specifically molluscs and brachiopods) are directly related to calcium runoff, are the buffers in the ocean insufficient enough to mitigate the calcium effect so that shell size/banding can be reflected in the geologic record and have some causal relationship with erosion?
Basically - more rain, bigger shells, maybe?
But yeah, geology is sick. I definitely love it, I just don't think I could work in the field.

This is me. Slowly going crazy from no human interaction. Haven't had sex in two years. Feels like I will be stuck alone forever and I'm also broke. Really can't date when I have nothing good to offer but baggage. I'm hoping 30s are better...
>>23430049
2 years? How fat are you?
>>23430086
Chubby but working on it. Do you want my like weight, pants size, bra size? I don't know how to accurately answer that question. I don't use dating apps or go out much so I have no social interaction really.
>>23430110
Nah, I don't give a shit what you weigh, that's just the only thing I can think of that would keep someone from not having sex for several years. Actually, now that I think about it, my neighbor is a thin 31 year old tech sales guy that makes decent money and hasn't had sex in three or four years, so I guess it has little to do with weight.
>>23430122
I don't think it's my weight. Health, obligations, work on computers, new town that's very rural, too nervous to ever use dating apps. Combination of things. I guess not being in ideal shape contributes to lack of self confidence but it's not the particular reason I haven't.
>>23430136
What makes you nervous about using a dating app? I meet a bunch of random women on there that like... aren't exactly 'up to par' with what they'd expect life to be, I think I'm reasonably good looking and successful and I still go out with them, fuck I was kind of seeing a woman who still lives with her parents at 30.
>>23430136
online dating sucks anyway
>>23430086
>>23430122
How is that "the only thing" that would explain that anon not having sex? I'm an almost 28 year old virgin who goes out of his way to speak to women and can't get anyone to even engage me at all. And the few women I have spoken to(usually online because like I said I just get ignored irl) usually feel the need to tell me they aren't into me like that even though I'm not really trying to hit on them.
And I'm not fat at all. I've always been rather slim because I used to take ballet and play soccer on a rec team. And now I've been lifting weights for several years and it hasn't helped. Compare this to people who are chubby or fat and still have sex or date. Sure not being fat helps literally anyone. But there seems to be a lot more to it than that.
>>23430195
They both suck, they just suck in different ways.
>>23430206
For chicks it's different, anon. You can have the personality of a brick and get fucked, all you'd have to do is show some decent amount of interest in a guy.
I don't know what your deal is, 28 year old virgin is pretty out there, imo. Either you never put yourself in a place to meet people or you're socially inept. Even ugly dudes can get fucked if they're not chasing after models.
>>23430206
I'm fat and I get more trim than a bonsai tree. Grow a personality. And you can get laid. Express your interest in people you are interested in and you can get laid. People will consider people they aren't all that attracted to because people like attention.
You are on the path to wizardry however so you should master the arcane arts before you throw nearly 3 decades of purity away
>>23430179
Too much build up and expectations. Don't want to feel like a disappointment.
>>23430206
Have you asked them why? Like the girls online that say they don't like you that way maybe ask them why that is to get a better understanding.
>>23430214
This is pretty unfair. It's not that easy.
>>23430234
Set your targets lower, it's pretty fucking easy. I have a hambeast of a friend who's a super boring piss collector and she gets laid all the time, she just fucks ugly fat dudes.

They are hmmm, sturdy blockshaped and dependable I guess? But not much fun or show creativity. They tend to never change or evolve.
>>23430214
I'm not chasing after models and I literally said in the post you're respionding to I put myself out there a lot.
And I didn't realize that anon was a girl. BUt that doesn't change anything since fat girls get laid too.
>>23430218
Yeah but that's what I'm fucking saying I do express interest. It's like you guys are commenting on that post without actually having read what i said. Also how is anyone going to know what my personality is like if they literally just won't engage me at all when I approach them? I can't even START a conversation wtih anyone.
Also if it helps you guys understand I was diagnosed a long time ago as both autistic and schizophrenic and I've been in therapy my entire life for god only knows what reason since it isn't really doing anything for me.
None of this really changes my point that being fat doesn't matter for guys or girls. Fat guys and girls I know still get laid despite the person I was responding to saying that's "the only way" someone would go years without getting having sex
Or rather what I'm saying is it doesn't stop anyone from getting laid unless you're an overweight person who only wants to fuck models.
I've been told I have an above average body(it's not anything super impressive compared to some guys I know but I'm definitely "in shape) and it hasn't helped but people in much worse shape manage. So my point is I don't see how that's the only reason someone wouldn't get laid or how that would stop someone from getting laid unless they just weren't being realistic which isn't anything do with their weight.

Change what and how? When I said I have no idea, it wasn't a figure of speech. I don't like my life, yet don't know how to change. Fuck, if I knew how, I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. And that's all assuming I'm not irretrievably broken in the first place.

It kinda is. 38 m.
We started in yahoo chat, locking out the microphone from each other. We used tape recorders to fool pay phones for dial up access for free. We used cradle rocker 14.4kbps modems (Do you know what "parity" is, or why it's even or odd"??), and monochrome ega laptops thick as a brick.
We may have only had what appears to be junk, now, but pagers, man...
Anything less than 25 years old doesn't understand what it was like to live through the 80's and the technology it created.

Alright, why not? Gimme yours?
You can only own a few things.
Your knowledge, your word and the moment.
Everything else is rented in that moment.
It's waiting to be garbage to fill a hole, including the skin you borrow.
Once you come to terms with that possessions we rent, borrow and steal, and terms we abide and endue upon others, you'll find your peace.
Make every moment and effort like what you do makes a difference and it attracts others. Own the moment.
Don't exaggerate. It's like lying and trying to hard. Be sincere. Be brutally honest in the most comfortable way. Own your words.
We need others support to function, if only from childhood into adulthood. We have been given the task of advancing our growth, as monkeys fallen off the trees, and somehow that evolved into what we see today, driven by the game of "Who has the nicest stuff?" Be more than your stuff.
