2015 was 10 years ago

don't mess with the illusion man

God damn why does growing up and the passage of time sucks
I wish I tried harder at school, had more initiative and did not waste opportunities
And I ESPECIALLY wish I spent more time enjoying old internet
Now I can do way more than when I was a kid and have so much within my reach, but so much shit sucks

2001 was 34 years ago

The world is more fucked than ever before so do whatever

What do you mean? You already know everything you should be doing. The only common bad advice you could've internalized is "be yourself".

Anyway, things will probably be worse for you but you probably won't starve or have to give up video games.

If you become super desperate over something you feel like you missed out on, DO NOT PUSH THINGS TOO FAR.

every year, write down what you wish you had done in the past year, then try to accomplish the coming year

The only thing no one (not women or the state) can take from you is your body. Have a reasonable diet and do some kind of physical activity regularly. Most men go bald and assume that's going to happen to you so you're not fat on top of being bald in 10 years. That's about it. The way we've structured life for ourselves and what its descended into is completely insane, having a sense of humor and not taking this clown show too seriously is helpful in dealing with it. It's important to have a strong body and mind because bad things are going to happen to you

kids born in 2010 are 15 years old

they might even be in this thread

Anyone can take your body with enough violence. Did you mean your soul?

if i knew how bad life was gonna get i would have savored it more. shit was still semi normal around 2015. if i knew how fucked up shit would get i would have tried to make use of everyday 2012 having fun doing shit while society was still normal.

*before 2012
i dont think people and society got too weird up until here. 2012-2014 were the twilight years.

Yeah but 2005 was a shitty year while 2015 was the best year of my life

people born in 2010 are having sex

I'm still a virgin

if your family is still alive enjoy that while it lasts because once they start dying you will miss and think about them everyday. family isnt perfect but make the most of what youve got while you have it. (if your family is all alive still.)

and 2015 was a shit year too

No, I meant the body. Physical health. In a divorce you could lose everything down to the clothes on your back but she can't take your muscle

in 10 years time the boomers death rate will increase shit is going to get wild, due to lower birth rates of subsequent generations, bunch of jobs and houses opening up, and the political class can no longer cater to them for votes.
Also if you start hiring hookers be careful as it's addictive.

32 years old, neet for years, never kissed or had sex, just trying to fix my life, we can do this.

what if I cannot have a conversation with my mum at all because she's emotionally unregulated?

jerk off at least once a day

ive had sex with like 30 people its not something that will ever make you feel complete or whole its just a side mission/ something to dristract yourself with so you dont think about existential problems.

houses opening up

lol no, blackrock and friends will be buying them up

Get serious about a good job by 25 and stick with it. Don’t cheat on your wife no matter how hot your coworker is.

feels like we entered a time loop in 2020 and suddenly got transported to 2025
where the FUCK has the time gone

you might have to cut off contact if its that bad, obviously some people are lost causes/ mentally stunted. im just saying your family who you love or care about try to make the most of that.

some times in life with some difficult family members you can only ever get along with them from afar/ seeing them a few times a year. but im just saying apply it to your siblings or grandma or whoever you actually get along with.

sad thing is i think that in the majority of cases, even with people who piss you off a lot, when they are gone you will still miss them anyway for one reason or another unless they were entirely irredeemable

you'll start feeling like a boomer at around 24-26

Dont get hung up over failing to meet arbitrary milestones (dream job, wife and kids, becoming successful). Most people will fail to sparkle in the sky like a star, reality is that most people are going to be mediocre. And in that mediocrity you need to find contentment; take care of your relationships with friends/family, develop some hobbies that can endlessly tide you over other than videogames, and learn to live within your means in relative comfort.
Hold onto ambitions, but don't beat yourself up for not meeting them by the time you're 30 or whatever other deadline. Giving yourself a deadline is the best way to make sure you dont put things off forever though, only you can force yourself to get moving since you won't have a teacher or parent to police you.

Don't jog on hard pavement and remember to brush your teeth.

1985 was 40 years ago

Why am I still here?

I had a serious pedestrian accident in 2012, was bedridden for years and it took me right up to covid to get that injury behind me. Watching people lose their minds because there was no escaping your home, money was supremely tight, internet friends more valuable than meat ones, passing the time with hobbies and self-improvement; all the while I was saying under my breath "try doing this for over half a decade plus being laid up in bed for half of that and then we'll talk, n00bs."

I felt like I had a gameshark hooked up to my life at that point and just savored the moment. I wished it had gone on longer, best hobby times I've gotten.

Leave this place

I hope you have health insurance

a 22-year-old that was born in 2002 here

already knew about Anon Babble as an edgy 4th grader in 2012 but didn't start lurking until middle school

2005 is the last year in my memory that felt like an optimistic good year. After that things became strange and now we've entered into the literal apocalypse revelations world

men giving me advice: what are you trying to achieve? oh well x and y worked from me but my friend says z worked for him, gotta think what's right for you

women giving me advice: just be yourself anon teehee

Love from Kazakhstan

men offer solutions and women offer emotional comfort and placation
big news

360 was released introducing everything bad about modern game

It feels like gaming hasn't moved since then.

Don't stop changing, don't stop improving. To not do this is to die. Improving something outwardly is how you become more fulfilled inwardly. If you build a garden and tend to it you're tending to yourself. Most men die in 1-2 years after retirement.
Also try to have sex with as many women as possible, love you anon wish you the best

women offer emotional comfort

Short term, maybe. Long term you better get a good leash.

quit end of 2019

covid hits

spend the last of my money on trivial bullshit so it hurts for a shorter time if it doesn't work out

works out and I get to have my own house plus I can praise the sun whenever it's a sunny day from protecting me from the enerjew pricing

It's gonna be a alright bro, just don't quit.

and?
is this a shock because you were 10 in 2015?

And I ESPECIALLY wish I spent more time enjoying old internet

Same here, but awful reality will be that in 20 years THIS will be old internet. It's not easy to do, it's best you enjoy things how the are because all indications are that things will get worse.
There are still far too many vestiges of the old internet around, and the architects of this new age are working furiously to remove them.

do everything in your power to never suffer a single leg injury. the complications thereafter recovery are enough to turn suicidal

t. horse

Fuck now. Fuck a lot. Fuck like there's no tomorrow. Be a pussy destroyer.

August 2004 was the month and year I lost my virginity

I remember because I had the Athens Olympics on in the background (men's canoe slalom, to be exact)

girl I lost it to had a bf at the time, so to save face she later turned and accused me of raping her

was quite literally a thought away from getting arrested on school grounds for something I did not do before she recanted her story to the school's on site police officer

of course I only find out all this after the fact

has since tainted my perception of love and affection as something to be feared and avoided, leading to many, many failed relationships over the years

Moral of the story is blondes are bitches and should be avoided at all costs

Honestly I kinda shudder what the "new" internet will be like considering how things are now
It will likely be some sort of AI hellscape where everything is monitored, filtered, computer generated slop and you don't even know if you're talking to genuine human beings or not and there's a high chance a lot of stuff will end up getting shut down and scrubbed clean off the internet
The alternative is that someone with enough inteligence and resources comes up with some kind of "new internet" and we all move there, but we'd be leaving a lot behind too

equated fucking some whore with a bf with love

yeah she was a bitch but this is kind of a retarded line of thinking

As the global internet goes the way of complete sanitization, narrative manipulation through undetectable bots and general censorship, I think the future might be in national and state level internet networks

it's not kind of, it is retarded

you sound like faggot

Yes, I was 15 and utterly retarded. Learn from my mistakes, anons

Save up money. Take a chunk out of every check until you have several thousand saved up. Then take up a trade like plumbing or electrician that will always have work. If you have good ties with your parents, live with them and focus on schooling. Once you have a stable foundation, you'll soon be a fundamental middle class citizen and can focus on starting a family (or getting into dating if you're a loser like me). Don't have kids until you're 30+

I feel like people will move more and more toward small groups like shitcord servers and DMs. It's the surest way to know you're talking to real people and to avoid all the bullshit political flame wars and shills on the public internet. It's already happened a decent amount. Look at stuff like Nintendo finally adding voice chat but only as a private group. And many new multiplayer games for PC don't allow any ingame chat at all. It's shit and I wish thoughtful and/or fun public discourse were still a thing, but it's on track to become obscure if still existent.

Everything boils down to money and shit's only getting more expensive. If you're in a position to save then do it now, not later. Don't blow a windfall, wherever it comes from. Stack them bills and keep it close, trust no one, tell no one who don't need to know. Also

No one ever went broke taking a profit. Remember that
