Guys you have gradually opened my eyes one tiny increment at a time over the last few years. I am a 26 year old male, and I've been lurking Sup Forums off and on since early 2005. Gradually I morphed from Sup Forums being my main board to Sup Forums with Sup Forums being the only board left on this shit website that I even bother to look at.
I just wanted to make this post to point out that you guys have effectively ruined my life by rendering me completely unable to enjoy almost everything that I have wasted the last 9 years of my life doing. Video games, most movies, television. I can't even stand to communicate with people who I've conventionally regarded as my friends anymore. Now all of it simply pisses me off. At the best of times, they are a completely frivolous waste of time, and at the worst of times they are actively making you a stupid and dull individual.
I feel like I am awake inside of the matrix, but I still haven't figured out how to escape it. I see the fires of troubled times all around me, but there's this strange powerless aspect to it where the problems are bigger than one person can understand.
This sensation of powerlessness has resulted in me reaching a scenario in my life where the only things that I can do are watch documenataries, read books, workout, try to learn the mathematics that ran through my empty brain as a kid, and work on improving my small and meager business. It's not even that I enjoy most of these things. I do them simply because I don't even know what else to do with my time.
I feel like we are on a trajectory to either silent annihilation by the forces that want to undo us, or we are going to be thrust into a tumult where we have to fight to defend the things we care about.
I guess there's really not much to this thread other than me simply remarking the realization that Sup Forums has completely morphed my ability to derive enjoyment from things that have dominated me for my entire life, and has supplanted them with new things that are causing the people around me to view me as an increasingly distant and unhappy person.

Eh, I started browsing Sup Forums around 05 as well and originally when to Sup Forums and /r/ for the porn. That was the main reason desu why I visited this site. Once Sup Forums became a bigger board I posted a lot there and thought it was for actual smart discussions. Over the years I mellowed out and realized everyone has a shitty opinion and everyone thinks they're right, when in reality there's no "redpill" or any of that shit. It's just retards thinking their opinions are worth a crap when in reality nobody knows what the fuck is the actual solution. If you're 26 and you see yourself as "redpilled" for talking in Sup Forums to a bunch of edgy 18 year olds, then you are just a man child.

I have a small outfit flipping houses. Occasionally we do our own, a lot of the time we do them for various real-estate groups.
I'm actually glad that I was a dope and an under-achiever. It forced me into the real-estate speculation business which I think has much better prospects long term once I get out of the retarded-20-something slump.

IF the economy doesn't crash on the 15th,
Interest rates are going to hike, meaning people will be less able to buy homes (not that they are atm afaik).
Rentals are still going to be the way to go. Renovation, maintenance, etc.

This is a very familiar story user, been here since 2006 and it just seems as I get older, I don't really change.
We're here til Hiro stops paying the bills, we're all here with you brother.
I've often thought that this entire site and a number of others aren't even real, a fabrication of AI that keeps the woke ones tame and tied down.
Who fucking knows anymore, I feel really under accomplished for 25. We're all powerless until we fight ourselves to the breaking point and find our true selves beyond petty existential crises.

I think mainly the big take-away for me has been the gradual realization of just how much of our culture is dedicated to hedonism and the suppression of learning and reasoning skills.
I have honestly come to believe that a great deal of our issues as a people is a brain drain. And no, we're not losing our smart people to other countries. The intellect and grander virtuosity that comes with it is being sucked out of us from childhood by all the stupid shit we are groomed to do ala the technological miracles of the 21st century.
In the same way that the height of man has gradually increased due to various circumstances, I believe the intellect of man is gradually decreasing.
I'm not even overly invested in any specific ideologies, necessarily. I have just come to realize that a significant component of making us governable human beings is the prerequisite that we are kept in a stupid and infantile state.
It's actually quite a good thing in the sense of my own sense of personal/self development as a human that I am bitten by the bug to learn and inquire.
But in the short term it has made me stratify from social groups that I have been a part of for years. I simply understand now that most of the people around me haven't broken the conditioning. Talking to them, as others before me have astutely pointed out, is like talking to NPC's in a video game. It's not that I don't love the people or care about them or anything. It's simply that we're no longer even on the same wavelength. I just hold out a simmering hope that some day utter some argument about something and it will lead them to the same place I'm at.
Mainly I just hope that as we progress into the future, the numbers of people questioning will grow to a critical mass and we will experience a new renaissance within the intelligentsia of Western society. An intellectual renaissance would be like a purification of the roots from which a healthy bush will grow in the future.
I think, anyways.

what I find interesting about Sup Forums is they try to set a standard by making broad brush strokes.
You could be very well a non "degenerate" but Sup Forums doesn't allow anything beyond their fixed idea. (which is never really set in stone)
Sup Forums is a good place to start. But fuck you gotta come up with your own ideas and live how you want.

it's called maturing, dumb guy.
>tfw aging and no longer able to enjoy my past interests that were enjoyable while naive and ignorant because i'm becoming more aware of the delicate fragile nature of life, the relative unimportance of things i once found "fun", and the necessity to focus on what is important in order to age properly and not remain a stunted stagnant manchild forever
it's really not Sup Forums, user, it's just life. only the stupid people go on aging physically but not mentally. you're part of the blessed ones - the ones capable of thinking and feeling for themselves

I deal this through self-improvement. I'm getting a business degree while trying to get thinner and stronger. Went on a date with an aryan qt3.14 last week as well. Try to date non politicized women who are hot but kinda dumb, forge them into something cozy for you.
Caleb Jones
Read more history, nigga. That's what'll put the snazz, jazz and razamatazz in your azz.
It's called being an adult dumbshit. Sup Forums had nothing to do with it. Sup Forums is just a bunch of morons reacting the way you are, with confusion, rage, and horror, to the events that the entirety of humanity is presently witnessing.
