What does Holla Forums do outside the internet?

i kind of always assumed you were edgy early 20s layabouts like me, but maybe you're also gainfully employed with interesting careers & shitposting is just a fun hobby.

a large number of people on here are students or professionals/wage cucks. i think Holla Forums has a much bigger NEET population. which is ironic considering they're hyper anti-welfare

im trying to get my mental issues together and get to college
i live in a suburb and don't have a car so it's hard to get a job that I can actually get to everyday
like everything's two towns away or in the city and i can't afford train tickets

I'm studying to become a physician

I'm not going to make things too easy for the NSA, but suffice to say that I'm pursuing a very productive career and could probably become porky if I wanted to.

I'm an university student.

I work and I study.

All day, everyday.

You're a dentist?

Why even work? Why not just screw over the system by becoming NEETS you goddamn good for nothing bums.

Even /r9k/ has been very anti-NEETbux auti-autismbux recently. Which is fucking hilarious.I don't know if it's becasue Holla Forums has been invading their forum or what.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about (my OP and look at the responses I get from bootstrap types) 8ch.net/r9k/res/179131.html

My guess is that autists and hikikomori NEETs generally tend to be very self-loathing.

Notice how this guy is like "I'm employed and have autism, what's your excuse." I call him out on the autism. He says "I'm a 32 year old kissless virgin." I'm like "I'm an autist who isn't a virgin, what's your excuse faggot?"

They make excuses for their virginity while talking shit about people who make excuses for their unemployment and poverty…

Many of them believe, in earnest, that their lives would be better if they lived in a more "traditional" society

I'm a NEET but I would probably need to find a shitty job soon.

No, i'm proctologist. Hence why i posted tooth decay.

I work maintenance and train kickboxing and bjj

i am also a contributing member of society user. rn apprentice electrician also considering a stop back at uni.

however i have noticed that since i began the working student thing i have much less time and mental energy to shitpost here. the interest has faded as well: i have an interesting job.

It's frustrating because I want to talk with other autists who have experienced similar things to me. But every autistic community I've entered on the internet has been COMPLETE SHIT. Even on wrongplanet, I found out that autists are incapable of having empathy for EACH OTHER too. Not just for neurotypicals. Empathy has never been something I lacked. Or maybe these kids just want to be edgy on the internet. I'm 31. Sometimes I ask myself what the fuck am I doing on the internet. A lot of these kids online are half my age. But there is like no community for autistic adults for me.

And /r9k/ is a complete crab basket. Like holy shit.

Maybe you're not an autist then?

that was my first impression too

Man, that sucks. I feel for you dude. I don't have autism, but I used to browse /r9k/ before I started medication for my depression. You're right, it's a total shit show.

Who are your favorite fighters?

I was diagnosed with PDD or PDD-NOS when I was a child though. I have to imagine that there are variations. I'm having doubts about the accuracy of the diagnosis. There may be some other disorder I have similar to autism but different. Because the complete lack of empathy I notice from autistic people online is shocking to me.

Co-op member

Dan Kelly because of his elite offensive judo and dirty boxing, Damien Maia because of his sexy elite grappling, and belal Muhammad because I trained with the guy

I wish I could be

18y/o senior

Work at Cabelas…

Study CS at university; work grocery (unionised)

I used to work in computer repair and maintenance but am unemployed now.

I'm a full time student and work a part time job.
Between attending classes, doing school work, and going to my job, I have very little free time. I don't have a social life, so I usually use my free time on the Internet and playing video games.

I feel like you're being sarcastic user

Student, work part time as a receptionist, and organizer at my uni's socialist club.

Are most of the other CS majors you know super reactionary, or is that an unwarranted stereotype of tech people?

Been NEET for about a year and a half now because I can't find a job.

I hear they have jobs in Rojava

Yes (edgy fedora tipping rant inc)

Most CS majors hate proles because they think they are going to be making $100k straight out of university.

That makes them hate socialism, progressive movements, poor people etc.

They rarely question their views or read philosophy, rather than doing that they would rather get their views from memes/reddit because they're 2enlightened by STEM and humanities is a waste of time.

50% smug liberalism 49% alt-right anti-SJW enlightened atheists


What does your club do?

well, we were just started a year ago so we're still getting our footing. but currently we're working on bringing professor wolff to do a lecture, and on a petition drive/protest on rising costs of tuition. we also have weekly meetings where we discuss organizing for the first thirty minutes and then a random political/economic topic for the last thirty minutes.

I'm studying to become a teacher and I am struggling with getting a job (money soon gone and then I'm fucked)
Also kinda struggling with depression ando I sort of am developing alcoholism

This tbh, since I'm a autistic fgt I have become friends with some Holla Forums guys and a lot of them are high schoolers, drop outs, etc….and blame the left for many things

I always thought teaching might be a rewarding career. What do you want to teach?

Politics/social classes

One of the few things that interest me

I worked for a month as a bus boy at some shitty Italian restaurant, I wanted to kill myself each shift. That was roughly two years ago, now I'm studying EE as a ticket out of this hell hole while reading theory.

I run a gay brothel

Sys admin for the local school district. Its pretty good.
Used to be an assistant sys admin at a windmill factory, it was the worst fucking thing ever.

STEMlord grad student

seriously stop with the alcohol while you still can, it will ruin your live. Atleast switch to a different drug that doesnt kill you if you get addicted to it.

Bureaucrat. I review asylum claims.

As someone who's interested in jobs like this, how did you get into that position? Did you attend collage at all? I'm currently unemployed but I've been in collage for a year now and want to get something in computer sci, but one of my friends saids that you don't really need to go to collage for jobs like that. Can you confirm this at all?

almost everyone here is an unemployed loser, hence their religious believe in some made-up pseudo-religion started by a lazy neet kike

student and im going to a job interview tomorrow after not having a job for like 5 months.

3rd year at Uni and working aswell.

i second this: intp personality type here who wants to get into computers. like computers anything: hardware repair, helpdesk, how do i get my foot in the door? ameriburger-specific.

electricity is fun, i get to hang out with hot guys and do dangerous manly shit. it would be perfect if i weren't a grill.

College dropout after failing twice. I'm a working as a dishwasher at a local resutant but only work less than 10 hours on the weekends. Considering doing a training course on welding starting this june. I can't stand going back to school or living at home anymore so I need to get out.

"edgy early 20s layabout"
Perfectly describes me.
Thinking about getting educated but not sure where to start.

law student

Just because you don't spend your life wage slaving to make someone else rich doesn't mean you're a neet

I'm in university. Last year. No clue what to do afterwards.

I have a bs in cs but its not necessary. Certifications are all you need. Literally, ALL you need.
Unfortunately, they are managed by private organizations and they squeeze every fucking last penny out of you just to take the test. Some cost 200-400 usd per test, and require multiple test to get the cert.

comptia.org/

For help desk/general maintenance type work you really just need i.t. fundamentals, and A+ from comptia.
For sys admin work/assistant sys admin you'll need network+ linux+ (i have level 3, but level 1 is probably fine for most environments) security+ and usually some certifications from other providers like Microsoft's windows server shit. For help desk stuff it wouldn't hurt to have that Microsoft office bullshit.

Stemfag here. I'm a medicinal chemist. But I don't feel the need to hate on nonstem people. I just really like chemistry… and Socialism.

What is that pic from??? That is some dank shit.

Its from the YOSPOS board on Something Awful. Its a fun place, but a couple of spergs here hate it because they got banned for posting off topic.
nb4 sperg rage

25, I work 35hrs a week and and Uni part time for Econ. I hate my job and the classes are sucking porkys cock with extra jargon. Planning on starting a media co-op and pushing out cool shit, or just doing porn until the economy collapses or I get the balls to end my miserable existence.

studying math at uni, work as an RA. hope my boss doesn't find out I would never consider ratting someone out for illicit substance use

Business school student

Pleb level IT support wage slaving for a solicitors firm. Pretty mind numbing stuff. Do spend a lot of my time on here and other chans though which is quite nice.

you might be me two years back from now.

I am at uni now, but


thinking of just dropping it all and doing something dramatic like an edgy twentysomething would, but I live at home and don't feel like I could leave my family behind, esp since they rely on me occasionally for extra cash

my life just feels like I'm going through the motions

nothing

work and save a shit ton of money since Capitalism can be harsh and i need to save or starve, get depressed due to lack of tools to do fun shit and never having internet.

I'm just here wishing everyone proletarian made more money and everyone porky got A LOT less resourceful..

unis are really shit. i had serious chronic illness while attending and they were really dicks about it. i figured it was too much effort to start suing people but i kind of am anyway.

best of luck user. money hungry fucking dogs.

Working for my uncles company(concerning sale of art mostly) and running for local city council elections at this moment.

Does eating ass rot your teeth?

...

20, Dropped out of college 2 years ago.
NEET ever since. I've only just snapped out of my funk and am trying to get back into normal life.
Probably going to go to a coding bootcamp.

Trying to figure out how to get a job despite having no previous work experience and having laid in bed the past 2 years of my life.

help.

Student at Glasgow Uni.

If everything goes wrong my plans are to go to Rojava or learn how to draw porn.

this is the way to go. Have you seen the patreon of some of those Tumblr porn artists? It's fucking insane.

Not as much as drinking coke


Why not both?

I mean my plan is to do both - I'm not leaving my laptop and drawing pad behind, and I've got all the software.

It's even crazier when you get into the /hgg/ stuff too

I don't understand that question

NEET trying to get a job. Nowhere manual labour even wants to hire me.

College Student, I hope to become a lawyer or something, I would really like to work for the ACLU.

Lawyering is a bad move these days unless you get into a top 10 law program
You're better off in another field

Software dev here. I try to keep my shitposting during working hours because I have a family and I like to spend time with my son.

is right, certifications are god in IT field. But you can probably get some help desk role without anything.
Bad advice: Outsourcing is helpful for credentialess NEETs, because they don't really care of anything as long as you can bullshit your way on the customer's interview. They're fucking cancer for workers, but you can actually take advantage on their rigged game, I certainly did when I started.

be me

What's it like for a software dev these days? I'm thinking of going to Tech Talent South and then self-learning from there. Try to get funding for my startup. if not, go be a code monkey somewhere.

It's kind of decent at least for me that I'm working on ML (nothing too fancy), I guess it can be different for webdev and mobile app developers.
Startups are IMO the entrepeneural scam 2.0. I guess it's better than to be a wage slave, but please keep realistic expectations (and if you make it, don't sell out to pork)

Im building a coop in the tech industrie. So far, it been tought organise our self.

I'm exhausted. I go to school and study all day and go to my job at night. I can hardly manage to get any sleep. All this stress and a mountain of death for a teaching career.

Autists have an excess of empathy compared to neurotypicals; they just struggle to express it in socially acceptable and prosocial ways.

I'm a structural engineer making six figures. Yes we're not all aimless art bums living off welfare.

I've always been a leftist because I'm not a fucking retard

I remember people telling me something like this when I was young; "It's easier to be leftist with other's money" and "when you work you'll appreciate money's value and will become right wing", and that's actually stupid. The more I saw the working life, the more radical I became.

So for me, it makes sense that people here are more workers than in other boards.

biological technical Assistent at an university

I literally do nothing all day. I hate my life.

work some manual labor part time, some rural road construction, while studying

also take care of sick older family members

its pretty shit living tbh

Computer security consultant. IT guy. Student.

Also part time firearms instructor.


NICE and look it's the other guy from Maine again.

I'm learning a trade, and working at my aunt's office part time.

Been full time in my field for 4 years now; make lefty videos for fun on the weekends. Holla Forums since Bernie lost, full lefty life since Howard Dean lost.

I guarantee you that some, maybe a lot, of this will change within 2 years of them leaving school and finding work in the industry (if they manage to find work). Uni students generally formulate their politics in a relative vacuum and it doesn't often survive contact with life outside of education

You know, this very idea that makes me think capitalism is a necessity as a combatant complacency. It's like what Zizek says that the apparent antagonist to a system perfection is actually part of the system itself and weird symbiotic way.

Yeah… Being a wage slave… What an interesting career…

The same is true for most of Holla Forums.
In a few years most of you kids will be filthy liberals. Unless something really fucked up happens in the meantime, like a huge, catastrophic crisis.

I study neoliberal economics, try to get my ass to gym and in the weekends drink and smoke weed with friends.

Am 30 and still not a liberal.

Tell me more about how we shall all become liberals and so on.

Will we give up on trying to promote our ideologies?
Sure.
Will we stop believing them?
NOPE!

The fact that Galileo couldn't convince that the earth is moving didn't made him stop believing it… cause how can you stop believing in reality?

Probably the only actual worker here, in a car manufacturing plant.

Not true. I work at Subway

I’m a wagecuck in healthcare working with brain trauma.

I'm a student and research assistant. Probably wage-cucking on google summer of code this summer.

Did your dad beat you up when you were little?

Same here, it's an all too familiar feeling.

i design build industrial machines.
yes, alone.
i sell less than a dozen a year, but the margin is retardedly high because i have the monopole and my clients have money. i usually make between 400% and 1000% benefit on each one.

other than that, i trade Forex during my free time, can't say i'm successful at it but at least i didn't blow up my 3 year old account yet, so thats kind of a success by itself

doesn't sound like you enjoy it.

you're still young m8, don't worry too much, you'll be fine.
