Anons, I’ve been here since 2007 at 15yrs old, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we’ve all had a pretty similar childhood here. The difference, primarily, is in outlook, and genetics I suppose. My childhood reads like that of many, many famous killers and bombers- the difference is, I’m not driven to lash out at the world with impotent rage over how “I’ve been wronged by society”. This world doesn’t owe you shit, if you want to succeed, you must go out and take what is yours. Note: pre-collapse, this means doing things by society’s rules and twisting their rules to your advantage. Do not attempt to actually go take shit that you don’t deserve.

My dad always told me to GTFO the day I turn 18-my siblings were in their early 20’s and he bought 6 cars between the three of them, which they wrecked. I didn’t stick around to find out if he was serious, I didn’t want to know, and was tired of having to keep my possessions under lock and key due to my siblings, so I rented half an apartment at 17, then got my own at 18(when I legally could without emancipation). Made my own way, with the Internet, and clever sourcing of equipment to work on(to put words to actions), one can master anything.

Yes anon, I did get a second beating for lying the first time, many times. Eventually, when I admitted to something that he knew for sure my brother did, he found out that I was just unwilling to go through the whole “you’re all grounded” process for the summer, and that because I didn’t know which one of them did it, I couldn’t rat them out. So he beat the bed, having me fake yelp, and that was the last beating I ever had to take. Not the last I had to witness by any means, he damn near killed my brother several times. IDK how my bro is not in prison, he’s actually married and has a kid. He’s still trying to make it as a SoundCloud rapper or some shit, idk, I don’t talk to him(them).
