anyone else 40+?

>>81550957 (OP)
Me. I'm 42. I was on 4chan in 2003. I come on from time to time when I'm sick or killing time.
Over time 4chan went from: edgy contrarian confident computer geeks to: pessimistic seething self-loathing nihilistic doomers.

>>81550957 (OP)
I'm 50+ lol. I came here after reddit banned me for supporting Trump.

>>81551004
You might get banned off a specific subreddit for voting to send billions to isreal, but you wouldn't get banned off reddit as a whole for being anti-welfare.
You must've said something more specific to get you banned?

bro isnt even unc hes oldhead

>>81550957 (OP)
I just turn 40 and I still live with my parents and play games all day Never had a job no GF. It's LITERALLY over for me. Only reason I don't off myself is I plan to be as big a burned on society as possible.

>>81550972

>If you fight back against 4chan watch out!"

>>81551068

internet hate machine

>>81551068
This looks based, but maybe it's a good thing we aren't fucking with randoms anymore

I just turned 30 but I feel like a 50 year old boomer

>>81551058
Dude you think that's bad, remember Micheal Hitres (a guy who's whole personality was hating Chris-chan) he was 58yo living with his 90yo parents, never had job or GF. Always miserable and seething 24th at everyone, always hatefagging on anyone being happy.
It's a scary future.

>>81551105

oh shit he was living with his parents then? dagggggggg

>>81551078
>>81551082
Remember the forever alone involuntary flash mob?
Remember when Tumblr girls tried to brigade 4chan and then got blasted with gore and racism until they had mental breakdowns?

>>81551084
I'm 35, but feel 18

>>81551215
What did people even talk about every day back in 2003

>>81551226
in 2003 I remember talking about jews the most, I was ahead of the curve

>>81551130
Rember when 4chan tricked a guy into going to redlettermedia thinking he had a job?

>>81551243
Some things are timeless you know?

>>81551020
I don't know how it is now but I remember immediately after he won the first election how every single post that was promoted was literally orange man bad and if you said you disagreed in any form whatsoever you would almost always immediately be banned.

>>81551226
I recall talking about the alien nine anime, Maddox was big, and star wars episode 3.
I remember idiots actually though Palpatine and Darth sidious were gonna be two different characters. They were absolutely convinced. They also thought there would be like 15 light saber duals as is if anakin was gonna kill a bunch of Jedi in row like some fighting game.

>>81551226
same as today, memes, roasting eachother, anime, video games and porn

>>81551281
there was fuck ton of spamming forces memes.

>>81551281
Remember when fuckers in 06 would talk about how 4chan was better in the old days?

>>81551294
they probably were a week after 4chan was launched

>>81551269
Got any other relatively forgotten good anime to recommend?

>>81551328
NTA but hyper police

>>81551334
Oh yeah! Forgot about that one. What about cat girl nuku nuku?

>>81551269
The Palpatine and Darth Sidious thing is suprising, I thought you would've said something about jar jar instead, also Anakin did kind kill a bunch of jedi in a row, just not how they were expecting

>36 this year
>Normie, loving wife, career, social life etc
>10 years ago I was a virgin looking at pictures of dead women at 2am every night

Somehow things changed, mostly by chance/luck

>>81551348
People didn't like Jar Jar but he wasn't as hated as Rey or Captain marvel. I mean there were those people who were like "I hope he dies" but unlike Rey no one defended him.
Yeah the Palpatine thing was weird. There were people who thought sidious was not emperor Palpatine. IDk people had these ideas.
I think they thought episode 5 would be something like John wick 3 or 4.

>>81551368
which black magic rituals did you perform anon?

>>81551368

>Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana, there was U2, Bon Jovi, and music still on MTV! Her two kids in highschool, they tell her that she's uncool, cause she's still preoccupied with 1985!

>>81551389
It was that or they thought he was the sith, I knew a older guy who was obsessed with this idea, I thought it was stupid at the start but it is now sith jar jar is kind of sold for me, also, seeing anakin fight multiple jedi at once would have been cool too be fair

>>81551393
read the pictchure

>>81551468
yesss iknew it

>>81551430
A couple of more years and we will be just as separated from this song as they were from 1985

>>81551226
Anime/hentai, games. MMOs were still big in the 2000s, we loved them back then. Memes still went "viral" back then. One thing would take off and then the whole internet would pass it around and make changes. I remember Tunak Tunak Tun and the Numa Numa guy being everywhere in the early 2000s.

In the early days of 4chan I mostly came for /f/. Hentaikey animations got leaked there and the memes were fucking golden.

God, I really miss the days when flash dominated the internet. New free games every week. Weird ass animations every day. Anyone could make anything and they did. I don't think I was ever bored once during the 2000s.

>>81551393
>which black magic rituals did you perform anon?
Honestly I don't know.
I got my first real job at 25. I always did my best to never be cynical others in regards to how my life had been at that time. Never brought into xpill/maxxing any of that retarded shit.
I moderately take care of myself, used to try and put myself out there socially, also looked at how Chad's acted and would think to myself "how would Chad respond to this".
One of the biggest motivators is reading the story about the 50 year old who "never did anything" and the constant "I'm 30 and have never spoken to a woman, should I start".

>>81551004
You should go back
Unironically

>>81551635
The death of flash really removed that creativity that felt endless from prior to its death in 2020. I miss those days.

>>81550972
Pretty much the same for me. I'm 48. I still come here occasionally, mainly for the tits.

>>81551739
>>81550972
you guys normal people or 40+ year old virgins?

>>81550957 (OP)
I'm 56 my birthday was last week.

>>81552014
when did you 50+ guys start coming to this site? You been here from the start? Were you spending all day on the internet in the 90s?

>>81551915
I think it's pretty rare to be a legit virgin 40+. I had a 3 year relationship in my mid-20s that didn't fix me, had some flings and dating but never found another woman I wanted to commit to. Eventually you learn it's mostly parenting, genetics, mental illness, luck and chance, whatever. I don't blame all women, I was never a safe bet. But if you don't find a pure girl when you're young, if that's what you really desire you likely won't find anyone.
I'm at a loss right now. A lot of women my age are going to ride the collapse of feminism into the ground and cope by blaming it on us. I'd still like to give life a chance but between the woke left, the woke right and only vibing with women much younger the odds are daunting. Everyone seems so angry, confused and closed minded. /r9k/ isn't less emotional but at least it has a dose of irony and self-criticism. Where should I go from here? What a good question.

>>81552014
Where the hell did all the nerds and weirdos go before 4chan?

>>81552111
not as rare as you might think, i'm on track to be one in 5 years if i don't make some changes, think it will be on the rise over the next few years too, lot of people stay online and don't leave

>>81551915
Not sure about normal but definitely not a virgin. If anything I'm more like a chad, by most /r9k/ definitions. And yes, I have hooked up with younger girls I met on 4chan.

>>81552115
D&D meet ups. Star Trek conventions. Arcades. The library.

Anyone else at the 1994 Pittsburgh Star Trek convention? I got a signed picture of Odo (met him), a bootleg copy of Jurassic Park, and a fansub tape of either Ranma or Lodoss War, I forget.
