Late 20's - 30's only thread
This thread is for people who are in their late 20's or 30's or older, or
people who identify as such to post, bitch, whine, discuss, meetup, talk about
shit or just chill. It's also my personal bitching board.
If you're at least 25 years of age or older, or are trans-ageist and/or identify as at least 25 years of age or older (yes, i know), you are more than welcome to this thread. If you are neither of these, well, GET OUT.

wtf??
people in their 30s use this website?
that's pathetic lol
Turned 33 a month ago. Currently Putting together a D&D game. Kid is yelling at me to change his dvd here soon. Also High.
I'm 21 and you're all a bunch of old fags who are gonna die
Same guy.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to notice a trend with a lot of younger people, but a lot of them give me this impression that they don't like to read. There's this meme apparently that anything that does not fit within 128 characters, or does not fit within one paragraph, or is not in greentext format is simply not worthy of reading. While my generation wasn't reading, I remember a time when my local Barnes & Noble was packed with younger folk and college kids after graduating high school, and while pursuing my Bachelor's Degree. Somewhere around 2012, this changed. Every day I go into the bookstore, or the library, it's either mostly occupied by recent immigrants in their mid 30's, or the elderly.
This lack of desire to read is affecting our lack of desire to write, and what I can reasonably assume, is also affecting our desire to critically think.
Case in point, many of my younger acquaintances I've met at work, social events, and at school, when questioned, tell me, and even go so far as to brag about getting all their news from their friend's social media feed.
Give the kid a prize
You'll get there someday
33 guy here. I remember trying to brag about stupid shit when I was a kid too. And while I have seen a downturn of people in bookstores, I really haven't seen a change in the ages in there. Kids, college folk, 30's and up.
>and/or identify as at least 25
What the fuck?
I identify as a 95 retired woman in florida. I demand a social security check and the right to post in this thread.
>or people who identify as such
>or are trans-ageist and/or identify as at least 25 years of age or older
yeah, but I won't be using fucking Sup Forums then
I'll have a car, a girlfriend, a job, some money... better things to do
28. Almost 29... fuck.
Too tired to do anything, but don't want to sleep. Been like this all day. Waiting on results of job interview. I think prepping for that over the last month wore me down and now my body just wants to sleep. Oh well.
And black jack! And Hookers!
Whatever kid. I personally don't remember 21. To busy killing brain cells. As appose to now

Now I know it isn't that new to get current events from your friends or to skim your RSS feed (doubt anyone uses those anymore), but the truth is, your friends mouth, no matter how smart he/she is, at the end of it all, is a tertiary source. They are not the authority of the news because they're:
1. Not reporting the event
2. Have not experienced it firsthand
3. Have no expertise, no unbiased outlook on what has happened.
It's essentially a telephone game. As news gets passed back and forth through your chain of friends (if you're able to call those beyond 100 of those in your list, "friends"), a lot of very important, though boring, nonetheless very critical facts, get lost in the noise. Somewhere down the chain, someone is going to get a degenerate form of the "news". It's this constant degeneration of the news and our lack of critical thinking that's shaping the form of American discourse today. And it's only getting worse.
Also, I fucking hate greentext stories. They're cliché, and formulaic at this point. I can't laugh or be entertained by them. What is the fucking point of greentext stories? Why would you waste all that creativity on such a shitty format of storytelling? Why not just write two long posts?
I say this because I used to be a SomethingAwful goon before I mostly lurked on imageboards and leddit (bite me), and despite some threads being really being a pain in the ass to read, I honestly found many of those threads to be genuinely entertaining. We have nothing like a Comedy Goldmine on Sup Forums, because even the funniest threads on Sup Forums or Sup Forums are as cliche and gutted of content like the rest of the fucking internet.
They read more than we ever did. They read every thing. Social media is all written.
And don't even start on this "the quality of what they're reading" shit. I was the biggest reader in my school (neeeeeerd) but it was all star wars eu novels and heavy metal magazines - I.e. worse than reading nothing.
Also what you notice is meaningless. You're not objectively collecting data and people don't go to b&n nor because they don't read anymore but because bricks & mortar went the way of the dodo
You make a post like that in some threads, you get the "Thanks for the blog, do you have a newsletter i could subscribe to?" quip.
Some threads here are becoming like a crawl of t-shirt slogans in mock ebonics. If you can't drop a smartass one liner you get ignored or ridiculed.
Sup Forums i can understand, been a middle school fad since 2004, but the empty, ignorant babble of opinionated zombies gets to be a drag.
Hahahaha
I bet you really believe that too...
teen who uses the internet to replace life projects...more at 11
those aren't even lofty goals
if you're in your 30s and don't have those things you have utterly failed at life
...
Ayyyyy lmao
Fuck you. Most reporting is a tertiary source. You're a holier than thou scumbag who bitches but never lifts a finger to make anything better
Having a kid and being high? You suck, user.
>it was all star wars eu novels
my nigga!
32, married, piece of shit car, dead end job, Sup ForumsRos daily
You're here forever faggot.
Unless you've got rich parents you won't be any better off.
.... you don't have those at 21? I had a house at your age
Are you seriously suggesting that science-fiction books written by credited authors are on the same shit-tier as user written bullshit on social media?
holy shit that scared the crap out of me.
well ok not really but I wanted to contribute something to this thread, i am very lonely
Maybe you're just growing out of the internet, sempai. Church of the Subgenius was worse than Sup Forums before Sup Forums and still is, but it's mainly guys in their 50s and wandering internet weirdos.
It's past his bed time. It's adult time.
I didn't even have internet at 21, I was too busy partying and getting laid.
Who's the loser now :^)
The quality of what they are reading does matter. Case in point is you, user. You're a dumb nerd who read shit sci fi and as a result you can't understand what op is talking about.
You, as you are no longer partying and getting laid.
Just sayin'.
> I used to be a SomethingAwful goon
I can tell by your need for attention.
sometimes when i feel angry with the world i'll fantasize shooting people on the street
it gives me a nearly sexual thrill and allows me to calm down and realize life can always be worse
And what if he gets sick in the night and you have to drive him to the hospital? What's your stoned, loser ass going to do then while your kid is dying and looking for you to help?
That doesn't matter. You need to be ready at all times as a parent, not only that, but by getting high just because it's past his bedtime shows how much of a child you are. Sorta like how kids do shit when the parents are away only now since you're supposedly an adult, no one has the balls to tell you you're ducking up already.
I am still just in awe of the stupidity in this post.
heh, there was no internet when i was 21, i was working, training martial arts, smoking pot and fucking my girlfriend at that age. Wasn't even close to being a chad but didn't feel like i was waiting for life to come along.
The internet is like a pacifier for some kids these days. If it was turned off they'd all flood out onto the street and start making noise like i had to.
28 years old, about to become a correctional officer.
I hope to god it's not my life's career.
Shit gets old after a while.
Why are you even in this thread youngin? Shouldnt you be out partying on a Saturday night instead of trying to fit in with us oldfaggots?
At least I had my fun :^)
35 here, glad I didn't have internet til I was 21 or I wouldn't have lost my virginity at 17 or have a real life social group that is still with me now. I would weep for the teenagers of today if i didn't find their beta faggotry so hilarious.
People with no kids who haven't worked out yet that you can't tell people how to raise their kids.
Like ever.
Personally i gave up all drugs at 33, just before i got married, but pot can make you a better driver, too careful in fact.
There's parents out there getting rolled over by their kids so they don't drown in their own vomit, don't presume to start telling people how to live.
I intended to just lurk on this thread but decided to post, not that it means anything. in fact I'm sure I'll just get heckled. I personally despise the fact that people my age (23) don't like to read. When I do see them reading, it's books like 50 shades of grey or hunger games. They don't read challenging literature or try to expand their mind. I'm a hispanic american btw and I'm currently reading Charles Baudelaires complete works "Flowers of Evil." I find it very challenging but still try and dissect the meaning (if there really is any meaning in his madness.) Also I try and convince my fellow hispanic coworkers to read and write (I keep a daily journal) and they heckle me too. I'm Younger than they are but they see me as a nerd. Maybe Hispanics in the LA area think they're too cool to be smart. Fucking shitheads.
You can drive high retard.
You don't think parents ever drink a few beers? Go be a killjoy somewhere else.
Ooooooh! Feeling toasty in here, boy-o's. Keep going, your really getting me where it hurts. Tell me more how the Devil Weed is going to ruin my life. Maybe how it's a gateway drug? oh oh oh, how I'm gonna accidentally eat my kids from after all the Reefer Poisoning! MORAL CRISIS OF OUR TIME!
Maybe in America but then again, even with those things, nobody is really happy.
I like to think of my country as this gigantic cocktease, or like the biggest television show in the universe. And you're not any of the main characters. You're just an extra.
This show, it lures you with this idea that you can have a nice four wheel drive, sleek chrome paint, twinturbo v8 engine, a nice house in the suburbs, or a sleek pad in the middle of the city in some cool borough with lots of niche botiques and bars and cafés.
It promises you the best and brightest minds to raise you and teach you all the fundamentals of the universe, or at least what is known of it, in the hopes you yourself may be one of the best and brightest.
It promises to grant you a fulfilling well paying career, with a raise every year, a union to back your ass up, the promise of retirement, a woman with a slim, large breasted, generously proportioned ass, or a devilishly handsome, slightly tanned, denim jacket wearing hairy guy. It's all yours for the taking. All you gotta do is sign this form right here. That’s right buddy, sign that contract. It's all you gotta do.
Then you sign the damn contract.
And that's when the credit card bills come in. That's when they slap you with the eviction notice. That's when they slap you with the rejections (if you're "lucky" to get them), and that's when they slap you with your tuition. Doesn't matter if you went STEM, doesn't matter whether you picked a "meme" degree like Sociology, because you learn quickly that what REALLY matters is your connections, and not the worth of your character, but the numbers in your bank account.
I won't have to tell you how to raise your kids, the social department will be raising them you degenerate prick.
>in their late 20's or 30's or older, or people who identify as such
What do you think he meant by that?
We have the anal retentiveness of the Germans, the puritannical bullshit of the English, the drunkeness and squalor of the Irish, the cronyism and nepotism of the Italians, and the ant like slave mentality of the Chinese.
This is America. God Bless America. And god bless you. because, god, you'll need all the fucking blessings you can get just to keep your head above water.
After this commercial break of course.
Yes. The adventures of horse pilot in made up space army is the exact same level of drivel except most forum posts don't waste your time with purple prose
40 here. You had me interested until
or are trans-ageist and/or identify as at least 25 years of age or older
Get the fuck out.
I'm a university professor. I read professionally. What, pray tell, defines a quality read for you?
>dirty smelly old stoners trying to justify still acting like a teenager
27 femanon. Just got 2 yr degree in bio. Life is whatever
fuck trannies and fuck bitches that think that they know everything they will ever know because they turn 25. Eat a dick in hell.
I have no stats to quote but i've been to 10 libraries within 50km of my home just for a look while finding premises to rent for work.
You wouldn't call them libraries, it's all crime fiction and what i would call diversionary reading, sci-fi and romance.
if you weren't already literate (by which i do not mean being able to read) the internet would be really hard to explore for broadening reading. It's a democracy of fools.
Yeah you are a nerd, if you read too much you'll end up having nothing to say your co-workers can understand or even care about.
Lotsa luck.
Hey i have a question for you guys, i keep hearing people my age saying the 80's were the shit, even though they weren't even born. My question for you oldfags- Did you know anyone your age that thought the 50's or the 60's were the shit even though they weren't born?
>inb4 fuck off youngfag
i know i should be sleeping fuck you
>Personally i gave up all drugs at 33, just before i got married,
That comprehension tho.
It's a nod to the Identity politics shit we've got going now. I'm only talking in the lingo of the times.
Besides, there's no REAL way that I can possibly know you're actually 30, you know? It's the fucking internet.
Nobody knows that you're a drunken wheelchair bound trans-Afro American, who identifies as a wolf and an AIDS patient that's standing around the corner of your local Starbucks begging for food stamps.
23 years old, programmer, and full time student. Pretty fucking much.
Gtfo and lrn to math you dumb kike
Fuck man, I was feeling alright, and now I'm back to being depressed.
I got a degree degree in engineering because "there's tons of jobs in engineering" meme. Buried in student loan debt. Moved back home hoping for better job outlook. Staying in my mom's guest room at 32. Thinking about eating my gun every day.
Seems like every year I work harder, spend less, and fall deeper in the hole.
Funny story. I was strait edge in highschool (showing my age again). No Drinking. No Smoking of any type. The no drinking thing lasted til second quarter of college. Didn't smoke pot til i was 28. A friend of my wife was talking about a few of the medical benifits, including help with nerve pain. Well my wife has a raw nerve from a botched surgery from when she was 15. She wanted to try it but wanted me to come to. It ended up helping her pain and my migraines so we kept at it. So, I guess I'm acting like the teenager i never was?
Yep. Happy days was based on this. The 50s were so cool - said people born in 1958
>letting your wife tell you what to do
I bet Tyrone still gets a kick out of that story when she tells him over pillow talk.
Epic troll
Here's your (you)
Dude, I know people don't like to read anymore. Because I work in a fucking library.
I understand. the only thing I have going for me is that fools like a person to vent to/ear to cry on. I'm really good at listening to their problems and giving advice. also I hold my liquor well with them so that's a bonus to them. as far as having deep stimulatin talks, that's out the door. I've been to my public library and it's as you siad. rubbish
Oh... I see. Implying rasist cuck. Got it. Good Joke, user.
Show us your saggy boobies or leaf
28 yro here, looking at images of filthy af hoarder homes to motivate my lazy ass to tidy up my room. The bf is fapping to brazilian fart fetish porn. I need some booze before I do this.
I triple on a typo? Figures
>saggy
You've never seen a woman irl, have you
Let's see your sagging nut sack and tiny balls you fucking NEET
Insecure faggot
Mmmm..yes... give into your HATRED...It feeds me... it feeds us all
Your turn
Dude, no one is falling for your trolling, go hit up a newfag thread, it's much easier for an amateur angler like yourself.
In 95 i met a guy who dressed like a hippy and showed up to my house with a plastic bag full of CDs of hippy bands i'd never heard of. I think he was trying to collect the most obscure shit possible. At the time i'd just seen Tool perform and knew enough to know what books they'd read and what movies they'd seen to inspire their schtick. At that time it was seen as ok to be into 60s stuff even though you'd been born after 1970. Then a few years later i started to see teens dressed as punks with all the studs and badges, it was just cosplay with no political element attached.
The original hippies were college educated people who saw through the military industrial complex, 90s alternative punks were the same breed but didn't bother preaching because they knew they had no power.
The 80s were an awful time of old ugly people running the world and threatening to nuke it all over whatever. That threat faded when WW3 ended and immediately we had the middle east as the new enemy.
Now the war is everywhere and the kids are basically apolitical, even the SJW protestors think that their squeaking can effect change, which assumes they have some power, they don't and they'll never take real action.
TLDR the 80s were ugly boring and corrupt, some of the reactions to these things were quite clever.
Timestamp or gtfo
Do you think with a cock like mine I'm not drowning in pussy? Show your saggy old tits or don't.
That's not your dick
The real question is, who's dick is it?
Mine
You didn't read very well and went full mental illness on the cuck maymay.
I gave up the drugs. Married a Korean, if i don't run the house she would run me into the ground. Four kids, all perfect no problems eldest is ten.
Who would've thought looking at my 2ft mohawk in the 90s that married life would be the best thing for me?
Come at me with your shut-in Sup Forums pellets. I could use a laugh.
Keke you're fucking dumb as shit.
28 yo reporting in. Cheers bros
reply to this post if you still live with your parents
