It's so over.

You'll get used to parenting anon.

Nah, as long as you're comfortable and can find enjoyment in life you're good. The people that demand I kill myself working 50 hour works for minimum wage to "fit into society" have always been the most miserable fuckers imaginable.

My younger brother had his girlfriend move in here for five years and not only was she a cunt (I made sure to tell her that to her face multiple times), he turned into a miserable cunt who barely has time for his hobbies anymore. Truly I am envious of his life.

I'm 42, neet, debtless, boyfriend-free-girlfriend-less, playing Japanese PC98 games (YU-NO). I take care of my mom, we can have this lifestyle because my dad had a good job. I won't chastise wagies, but I truly feel enlightened immersing myself in true kino worlds, unbothered by current society. Plus I live in a bona fide third world shithole so I don't even go outside except for groceries and walking a bit. I'm lucky enough to save money to visit Japan. I see my peers who reproduced and I see absolutely no difference in our contributions. If anything niggas who reproduced only polite the planet, and chances are your kids aren't special.

I feel like ive been blessed bros, my advice for listless anons would be to just start working on the things you want. Even if it seems insurmountable a task and so far away, chipping away at it works. I started at my current company with the sole intention of worming my way into the IT department so that i could eventually work from home. After 3 years i got in, and another 6 months for them to trust me enough to wfh.

I am you but older

>>718310081
Whats the difference?

>>718318684
In a profession you can acquire skills and expertise that makes you more valuable as you age, which leads to better job security and higher pay later on. Think doctors, engineers, etc.

In a job, management doesn't give a fuck about you, you're there to grind the clock away and you'll be gone the next day if they don't want you anymore. Think Amazon warehouse workers.

Not him but that's what I'm guessing he means.

>>718315058
On the one/100 chance you aren't lying, you are a whore. Don't do this to yourself, your soul is rotting every time you take a paycheck

I agree, it used to be like that, but it is not anymore.
people are being told to go for trades, it's not a bad idea, not as bad as messing around with crypto, but they fail to see this point.
they think the old way.
>I'll learn to weld, I'll get a job easily, and the more I work, the more valuable I become and the more money I get.

In the 1st world countries you get a prescription from a doctor and then go to the pharmacy to pick up the drugs

They can't "turn you away" or reject you

>>718320046
It certainly can still work, i have not gone to college but my current job usually requires at least an associates degree in most cases. Been with the company for 10yrs now just learning all i can within the company.
Boss wants me to apply for the position above me when it is vacant again, thats a bachelor degree requirement normally but he says he'd rather have me learn on the job than have to get a fresh person in to learn all the little things that make the job run smoother. IT work, started helpdesk moving to network admin on experience.
Capcha JOVER but really its not yet.

>>718320548
Military probably wants people with degrees, I imagine they have plenty of high school dropouts or barely graduates.

Holy shit how do people do it for 40+ years??? I feel exhausted and my body just hurts.
I need to find a way to live like a person again but I'm so tired after work I just bedrot and sleep until the next day. I have no energy to think things through.

>>718310089
at 25 I felt like that, then decided that was stupid and I'd rather fix it. Went to college, got a degree in biology, worked for a year, and then got into medical school. I am now 32 and graduating med school this year. Yeah, my career doesn't really start until I'm 35 but I'm going to be 35 anyways may as well be 35 and making $350k doing something I think is cool.

Fix your life.

I do not care about the unemployment rate for 24 year olds. have over 10 years of professional expererience and two associates degrees. Getting a degree will only make me a stronger candidate.

I shall try, thanks.

>>718309269
Hahaha! Yeah, thats the problem I'm complaining about! Yeah

lol my mom thought that if she just made me get a grocery store retail job I could just stay there and retire
I lasted 10 years before imploding due to a multitude of factors that all come down to being overworked and underpaid by people who don't care if you live or die, so long as you show up, do your job and jump through all the gay little humiliation ritual hoops they set up for you
Now I'm living with her rent free and making a game, which is something I actually want to do with my life and am passionate about
Wageslavery is death anons. You're selling the best years of your life for so some rich faggots get richer off of your hard work. Don't do it, not if you don't have to.

>>718321580
Good job anon. I went back to school at 25 too. I felt like pic related sometimes but once I got to the more advanced classes there were people in their 40's finishing up their degrees. It's never over.

Every day I am reminded how absolutely blessed I am to be totally asexual. It's incredible how utterly destructive the pursuit of sex and starting a family is to most people, even those who should be smart enough to know better. If not for the complete lack of any sexual attraction or desire to reproduce, I'd probably be in the same boat, committing myself to some unhappy relationship and lying to myself about how fulfilling it is to have kids while all my friends can plainly see how tired I am and how little time I have for myself. Instead, I just do what I want and have little to no stress.

I pretty much have it made I guess without ever trying, just got lucky my family owned property.
They're not rich or anything, dad's an electrician, mom's a nurse.
So I guess we were like lower middle class or whatever, never struggled with food or anything but never had any luxury.
It's just kind of a boring, but I don't mind.
I manage to play like 10+ games a week while watching random slopstreamers play even more so I'm fairly happy with my lot in life of just comfortably indulging in hedonism.
Idk.

I guess if those 2 other houses burn down or get destroyed by a tornado or something I'd be out of any income, and with no education and 0 previous jobs I guess I'd be kinda fucked but oh well.
Can't really do anything about that.

holy fuck i post with literal dinosaurs

I failed med school twice because of those fucking statistics and organic chemistry. I had always been science kid. It feels like my whole life is a failure having to switch to law school and now I'm stuck in limbo trying to find lawyer job because no firm would take a 40 yo fresh grad lawyer with shitty grade.

>>718322839
How does your generation reconcile wanton dopamine-seeking and hookup culture with settling down and starting a family? It's always weird seeing some zoomie or alphie be like "bro why haven't you started a family," like dude, look at yourself, let alone what's going around you

>>718322621
If you don't have a scat fetish, shitting is just a mundane bodily function for you, and you'd have a hard time deliberately trying to turn it into something sexual. Jerking off is like that for me; it's just an impulse I get once every 2-3 months. Whatever being "horny" is to you is something I do feel, but only at random and not in response to seeing a naked woman or anything in particular. In that sense, my dick "works," just not as intended.

I can't speak for other asexuals, they have a whole spectrum of weird nuanced garbage and micro labels that I don't subscribe to.

>>718323052
Furry porn, oh wait AI ruined your only chance

Asexuals don't exist, this anon is coping really hard.

>>718323172
Being in a relationship with a woman you aren't attracted to is worse than being alone, don't even bother man

Lets be real /v/, do you take the fat chick who is absolutely loaded and in love with you or wait for your 10/10 goddess to appear?

>>718323942
brother the fat chick what the FUCK are you even talking about?
how is that a question?

>>718322830
My family is asset rich but retarded with money and they won't even give me a place to stay despite renting like five flats so you get fun situations like me having to wagecuck to afford food and shelter while my mum wasted my late grandma's savings on a new york trip.
Boomers are evil.

Fat chick but only because she's loaded.

The fact that you thought this was some profound dilemma worth asking is proof enough you should never reproduce.

>>718322928
Are you me, anon? I was a science autist and my autism even landed me a scholarship to a big dick university but I just burnt out and couldn't finish it. Ever since I just felt dumb and retarded and since like you said that was my identity, I just don't know who the fuck I am now.

>>718324002
Damn that sucks man.
I guess I got lucky that my parents are basically just stable normies.
They let me just live and not do anything and give me all the money since they have no use for it.
They just kinda work then come home and watch TV, they don't have any hobbies or interests or go out anywhere or buy anything except food.
So yeah, they're kinda NPCs I guess but they're chill.

>>718323942
If the fat chick actually likes me that much sure. I was fat years ago also, being fat doesn't need to be permanent.

>>718323764
That was very interesting. Thank you, anon.

>>718323942
She can lose weight. This isn't hard at all.
I'd take a 5/10 even if she wasn't loaded at this point. I just want to see what its like to be loved.

>>718323893
You're right

>>718323942
Not a single woman has shown sexual attraction to me and I want to kill myself. I would piss myself with happyness if the fattest, grossest, most retarded woman let me touch her vajay jay.
I hope this answers your question.

>>718309073 (OP)
i want to eat chips with a lazy princess so bad bros

>>718323942
I dated the fat chick for 4 years and it was amazing
Through a combination of me being young, naive, having zero ambition or life goals, and her parents pushing antiquated ideas of what a "breadwinner" should be to her, she dumped me.
I can't even blame her at this point, I was totally lost in this world and was just kinda drifting along content with mediocrity.
Now, 17 years later, I'm older, wiser, but still POOR. Fumbled every girl I ever talked to after her, and I've just given up.

>>718324331
Gave me a chuckle anon, I kinda get it though.
I definitely agree up to a point, like a fat average/below average sure.
But retarded and gross is still kinda my limit, gross stuff I can't handle, I don't care if she's not pretty but if she's nasty that's still a no for me.
