But if I weren't on Sup Forums, I wouldn't be able to speak English.

Did it really benefit you as much as not being a complete loser kissless virgin would have?

bump

You made this yesterday, go spend your hours more wisely

...

australians are much worse

Australians are slightly worse

What profession are you in/trying to get into?

I'm thinking of passing my knowledge onto other people soon.

I don't know.

Sup Forums is not that bad at all, you realize our ancestors would have killed for this yes ?
essentially this is a place where you talk about politics what's wrong with that

nobody works 24/7 and during leisure time Sup Forums is better than television or whatever people do

what do you even want

>"you could learn a skill"
yeah because i totally want to become a plumber or go play the fucking guitar
what is this bullshit mindset i'd much rather just talk to people, which is what we're doing

>"you could get a gf"
yeah well go do that then once you're done with her what arr you going to do ?
that's right, you'll come back here, because women become boring much faster than Sup Forums

>"you could have [obscure far fetched goal in life]"
what do you even want in life ? maybe you should join the army then ?
you know, as a canadian you are richer than like 90% of this world already
no point slaving away for more in fact i don't know what i'd even buy with more money
just enjoy life, open a bottle get some good food and realize you actually have a great life here

>Sup Forums is not that bad at all, you realize our ancestors would have killed for this yes ?
>essentially this is a place where you talk about politics what's wrong with that

"Talk about politics"

What fucking politics? We don't have any real discussion here. It's the same threads every single day.

>Are all [nationality] like this cherrypicked image?
>Do you want a ______ gf?
>r9k bs
>Brainless "political" and "economic" discussion by people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about, even on a completely basic level
>everything else that's not even worth getting into

>yeah because i totally want to become a plumber or go play the fucking guitar
>what is this bullshit mindset i'd much rather just talk to people, which is what we're doing

You're talking to people on the internet, who are fucking retards and either 1) Trolling 2) Legitimately retarded and don't know anything so they just post memes

>that's right, you'll come back here, because women become boring much faster than Sup Forums
They definitely don't. This place is a complete waste of time.

10 hours spent on Sup Forums is 10 hours legitimately wasted. You don't learn anything, you don't accomplish anything, you don't even feel good. You just wasted time posting or reading through a worthless thread

>you know, as a canadian you are richer than like 90% of this world already
>no point slaving away for more in fact i don't know what i'd even buy with more money
>just enjoy life, open a bottle get some good food and realize you actually have a great life here

That's fucking retarded.

So I'm suppose to compare myself to people in Africa?

Why would I compare myself to people who are the worst off instead of the best? That's a losers mentality.

>it's talking to people xD

Okay let's see what the top 20 threads on Sup Forums are at this moment.

Great joke, but Aussies are universally cancer and that's why like 1/3rd of them are range banned.

>You don't learn anything, you don't accomplish anything, you don't even feel good.
/sci/ and /ck/ taught me many many good things, and even Sup Forums before it turned into /flagtards' generals/

>>TFW you realize for every thread you made on Sup Forums if you talked to one girl, you'd probably have the gf of your dreams right now

believe me this is not true, I actually talk to girls

there are other factors at play like, being handsome, not being a fucking retard and having money

The rest were hardly related. Maybe 4 were Sup Forums threads.

Nice discussion.

Great board. AAA quality.

Really learning a lot here. Really making me think as they say.


Top-tier board. Good posters, high quality. 10/10 - IGN

...

>/sci/ and /ck/ taught me many many good things, and even Sup Forums before it turned into /flagtards' generals/

How much did it really teach you though?

Surely if you directly researched what you needed to you'd have found the information much quicker?

The fact of the matter is that Sup Forums is a waste of time and even if you do learn something once in a while, it's highly inefficient and if you went through different means you'd have gotten what you need in 1/10th of the time

>not having automatic filters

>What fucking politics? We don't have any real discussion here. It's the same threads every single day.
Of course there is discussion you just refuse to see it
I don't see what's so bad ?

>You're talking to people on the internet, who are fucking retards and either 1) Trolling 2) Legitimately retarded and don't know anything so they just post memes
Bullshit. I'm not retarded at all neither are you probably.

In fact i bet people here are much smarter than average. Don't believe me ? Go check your facebook you'll see it's all even more stupid

>You don't learn anything,
You do actually
>you don't accomplish anything,
99% of the time, 99% of people are accomplishing nothing at the moment
>you don't even feel good.
I do i think it's satisfying to vent and say what you think a little
>So I'm suppose to compare myself to people in Africa?
>Why would I compare myself to people who are the worst off instead of the best? That's a losers mentality.
No the point is you have enough purchasing power to purchase fucking ANYTHING you want already so it's absolutely pointless to try and get rich like bill gates

you can't prove me wrong

This place is shit. There's many Of course there is discussion you just refuse to see it

WHAT DISCUSSION.

I took a screen of the catalog. There's no discussion. And if there is some, it's just logical fallacies and shitposting.

There's no intelligent discussion anywhere.

You post something and you get "Fuck off chang/pajeet/LEAF/cuck/whatever"

This is a shithole

Nice you filtered 90% of the threads.

Makes you beg the question, what's the point of coming here

>Bullshit. I'm not retarded at all neither are you probably.
>In fact i bet people here are much smarter than average. Don't believe me ? Go check your facebook you'll see it's all even more stupid

>he compares it to fucking facebook

That's idiotic. You're comparing it to something else just as shitty.

I'm talking dedicated forums where people aren't fucking retards.
>No the point is you have enough purchasing power to purchase fucking ANYTHING you want already so it's absolutely pointless to try and get rich like bill gates

But I don't.

I want complete financial independence. I don't have that, what the fuck are you even talking about retard?

And who are you to say what's pointless for someone else?

That's an idiotic mindset. "You're richer than niggers in africa so you shouldn't strive for more". That's retarded.

I have some money but i want millions. Why would I be satisfied with mediocrity?

>>You don't learn anything,
>You do actually

WHAT

What do you learn.

Tell me 5 important things you've learned in all your time on Sup Forums

No, "Easter?" and making posts of women sucking BBC's(big black cocks) doesnt' count.

>>TFW you realize for every thread you made on Sup Forums if you talked to one girl, you'd probably have the gf of your dreams right now
Yeah sure boy, I've been dating, talking and flirting with a dozen girls already in this year, but the whole reason I don't have a gf now is because I don't need a gf, I only need to feel wanted. And get people to like me is more of a hassle than browsing memes and studying.

>1.
>thread about sports
yes sure whats wrong with that ?
>How would you best describe the American aesthetic?
>What the fuck does that even mean
It's actually a great question which really goes to show how intellectual this board is
>3.
I also find that pretty clever
>8
Good question too and interesting thread
>10
people talk about sex all the time here or elsewhere

literally the same kind of thing than what you read everyday in "prestigious" newspapers evrn

Thats funny since thats exatcly the thread about "learning" and "learning skills" which you complained didnt exist a minute ago

political discussion, again i don't see the issue
>18
what is even wrong with it and why do you hate everything ?
>24
>25
this is a board for international discussion and that's exactly what you're getting here

>generals
ok now those are bad and should be banned
the rest is ok

have you considered maybe you're just generally bitter ? like if you devoted your free time to something other than Sup Forums you'd probably hate it too

Stayed up last night writing to my Chinese internet gf (who I wouldn't have met if I didn't see a site written about on here).
I'm now late for work which starts in a couple of minutes (haven't showered yet). I am saving up to go overseas early next year (reading Sup Forums made me want to travel overseas, I didn't have a passport before using this site).

Thanks Sup Forums

>I also find that pretty clever

You find it clever to ask why citizens of another country can't vote in a country they're not citizens of?

Very intellectual

>Good question too and interesting thread

How is it? It's a loaded question. >Why is [my preference] the best preference?

Also it's completely unrelated to international discussion. it has absolutely nothing to do with this board

>Thats funny since thats exatcly the thread about "learning" and "learning skills" which you complained didnt exist a minute ago
This one is fine.

>political discussion, again i don't see the issue

Not related to Sup Forums.

One of the rules of this board is that political discussion goes to Sup Forums - THE BOARD DESIGNATED FOR POLITICAL DISCUSSION.

Those other threads are either reposted EVERY SINGLE DAY - Why? We've covered the topic 4 months in a fucking row, do we really need another thread? Did popular opinion all of a sudden change?

This board is just Sup Forums

it's worse than /r9k/.

>Stayed up last night writing to my Chinese internet gf (who I wouldn't have met if I didn't see a site written about on here).

Did you meet her in real life or online?

Do you think it's healthy to have relationships over the internet?

Do you ever wonder if this has a toll on your mental wellbeing?

Do you think wonder if you'd be better off socially and more well adjusted if you didn't spend your time on this shithole website that rots your brain and wastes your time?

Only the "banter" garbage ruined this board. People are just trying hard to find flaws in countries to bully them these days.

everything is shit here

>I'm talking dedicated forums where people aren't fucking retards.
They are though and all in all there's proportionally more intelligence here than at your local bar, club, or wherever you would be if the internet didn't exist

>But I don't.
Well then that's your problem, it's easy enough to get one. Why do you not have "complete financial independence" in the first place ?
Maybe that's your problem right here. In the words of a great man, the only ones who care that much about money are the poor people

>i want millions
Sure but what are you even going to do with them ? What is only accessible to the millionaire market that you want ? There's fucking nothing to buy and richness is unfulfilling you poor soul

>WHAT
>What do you learn.
>Tell me 5 important things you've learned in all your time on Sup Forums
1. The whole English language
2. A lot more history than i did in school
3. A lot of very interesting facts and opinions about different cultures
4. The location and flag of most countries in the world
5. Every relevant international news story seconds after it happened

>How much did it really teach you though?
>Surely if you directly researched what you needed to you'd have found the information much quicker?
I could say the same about my school

this desu.

Don't know why OP is so bitter. I learned a lot from this board and actually gained interest in learning a new language as well.

>They are though and all in all there's proportionally more intelligence here than at your local bar, club, or wherever you would be if the internet didn't exist

Why the fuck do u keep bringing up facebook or a bar

What about other parts of the internet dedicated to these topics?

For programming or tech related shit.

On dedicated forums I have people who don't troll or are fucking retarded. MUCH better than Sup Forums.

For business and finance, I started using a Canadian investing forum and a few others and people aren't fucking retarded poor losers with $500 like on /biz/. Much better, no stupid retards

Sup Forums - Much easier to just go to regional subreddits or soemthing and ask people directly about questions about a country. Instead of wading through 3000000 threads of trash.

Fitness - better forums than fucking "tfw no gf" retards like fit.

>Why do you not have "complete financial independence" in the first place ?
>Maybe that's your problem right here. In the words of a great man, the only ones who care that much about money are the poor people

Why do I not have millions of dollars invested?

Gee i don't fucking know. Maybe i'm not 50 years old and have been working my entire life.

i have more than pretty much everyone I know at my age but not enough to be financially independant.

Gee sorry bill gates.

>Sure but what are you even going to do with them ? What is only accessible to the millionaire market that you want ? There's fucking nothing to buy and richness is unfulfilling you poor sou

FREEDOM you fucking retard

Freedom.

The ability to not have to work for a living. The ability to do whatever you want. The ability to afford top-quality healthcare. The ability to enjoy yourself and not be worried about paying rent or your living expenses because you can play with money

Have you thought of IT field?

I'm thinking of doing training sessions with anons. Kind of a fun session about the IT world..

SEC+
Net+
CCNA
CEH


>What ever happened to that Canada bro network engineer?

Basically pretty much every other source of information is better than Sup Forums

This place has got to be one of the most inefficient ways of learning anything. And that's the only "value". Slowly, inefficiently learning

whats wrong with Canadian posters?

We just don't have it in us, OP. The reason may be depression or something.

isn't that a fucking copout though?

it's your only life. You only have one, and then you die and rot to maggots (maybe you'll go to heaven or reborn but who fucking knows)

And you just live it pathetically saying "maybe it's just depression idk back to wasting time"

Don't you ever feel that?

That feeling that you're dying from the inside from wastign your time?

If you knew you knew you would die in a month would you stay on Sup Forums still wasting your time mindlessly?

>Why the fuck do u keep bringing up facebook or a bar
Because that's probably what you would do if you had that "freedom" you talk about
Because if you don't work you're gonna get bored really
What will you do with your freedom when you have it ?

Look at retired people they have freedom what do they do with it ? Fucking nothing else than usual
The same hobby/interests that they followed before retirement is what they do
What about you do you have a passion ? Will you dedicate your life to it once you are "free" ? Or would you just become bored out of your mind and come back to Sup Forums ?

(You don't even need millions to get that btw getting a passive income of like idk 2500 a month is easy and is enough to travel the world buy whatever you want)

I don't regret wasting my time in Sup Forums. My english skills increased a lot during these years.

>tfw you waste a shitton of time but still have somewhat decent life

whats your endgame? why are you trying to prove something so relentlessly to that french user and other people? i support that frenchie too, I agree with his posts, this for example is a very good post, I could have written it myself

>Life is pretty amazing and most people on here won't even remember who I am

I was going to kill myself in 2015, whole life changed by getting my shit together and studying. I can not believe who I have become and how successful am today, you can always change your situation senpai.. You need the right people by your side, i had no one to help me and i was negative about that but i made it

>I can not believe who I have become and how successful am today
but you are not...look at yourself now

How the fuck do I meet people who aren't losers then?

I know, I came back to Sup Forums after being away for months, I kind of missed this place. It sticks with you know, also I am doing quite well for myself these days... Still amazing how your whole life experience can change in the blink of an eye by being focused. Lol, nobody here even remembers me most likely, what a weird life we all live

What field are you in? There are actual meetups for certain hobbies and get together put on my club organizers

I'm not in any field

I'm a kissless neet

I just make money by investing and various shit that makes money, nothing concrete income wise

>neet

Doesn't really matter, where do you actually want to go in life? Everyday is a day you take a step forward in life, you aren't living for a special moment in the future, every day is a gift and you have to do something.today and everyday because you keep moving forward, being a /neet/ is nothing as I have met and been a former /neet/ myself, we kind of start out life that way. You are not a neet, you're just a person who hasn't understood what they want to do yet.

I know user, I didn't mean it :3

I'm not visiting Sup Forums so often like I used to but it does stick with you somehow

> you aren't living for a special moment in the future

but I am kinda

always those micro-moments in future, sometimes 2 days away, sometimes 2 months, but still...

I want to become a millionaire by 30-35 at the latest

At my current rate I probably will. I want it faster though. I want to make as much money as possible

bump

literally GOTTA GET A GOOK
