Nice pasta faggot

>>57182318
Yep. Only idiots deny this. We will all be forgotten

Having to compete against this has made me wealthy and successful at a young age. You idiots don’t realize this is the best it’s ever been and you feel blackpilled because you don’t need anything

>>57182318
For me it's hedonism, and nihilism for the remaining about 30 years I have left to live. After that, why would I care who vill eat ze bugs?

if nothing matters, why does it matter that nothing matters?

I feel so bad for zoomers because they were never properly socialized. Everybody else is doing relatively fine in regards to social groups. Say what you will about millenials, at least they have in person social groups. Zoomers were so poorly socialized as kids that they can't even make in person friendships. They can't get jobs, they can't buy property, their brains are pretty much ruined from being 100% connected to the internet at all times so they can't learn anything meaningful, and the worst thing is they can't create in person connections. It's rather sad. I feel for you guys, but honestly it isn't society that's falling apart, it's just that you guys missed out on the chance to make life long social groups.

>>57182877
At least generation beta will grow up as hunter gatherers.

>>57182369
Not really. Older millennials got fucked the hardest because they were slightly too old to sell their pussies and dicks on the internet. If you were born after 1990 then you're good though.

>>57182959
Friends become mostly useless the older you get. Friends are for children and teenagers.

Then when you are a man everyone is your friend. Or no one. It's exactly the same.

Anyone who cries about not having friends is a fucking baby toddler. Holy shit.

It’s over the ga did the internet has started a behavioral like none before. The internet is much more stimulating and better than real life

>>57182995
Case and point right there. You're naturally a social creature, but growing up in an era of complete connection to the internet gave you this false delusion that you can replace in person relationships with this pixel void. It works for a few years, but after a while you begin to notice that you're missing out on key experiences.

>>57183001
No they're not you fucking moron. You need friends throughout the entirety of your life, are you one of those dweebs who say things like "real men don't feel romantic intimacy with their wives"? Friends are crucial elements of your life bro, they keep you tethered to reality and they give you social outlets and give you a sense of belonging and community.

>>57183053
that's the gayest shit I ever read

>>57183032
My /biz/ frens are all I need. But really you're right, friends are important. We're spending all our time on the internet and the offline world is suffering for it. Just watch the New Years ball drop, where the whole crowd had their phones out recording instead of just celebrating and enjoying the moment.

I don't see how we can go back though, the internet won't go away. We just need to find a better way to encourage offline lives on top of it. Or totally give in to the Matrix, but make the internet a more fulfilling virtual experience. Sucks just staring at screens and hurting your eyes.

>>57183112
The internet is real life now

>>57183068
Lmao, found the guy with asperger's who can't make friends so he copes with the delusion that they aren't necessary. I feel bad for you man.

>>57183125
Yeah, for better and for worse. It's made both offline and online worlds worse in many ways. The internet shouldn't be serious business, but it's treated that way now. Was nicer when it was an escape from real life.

>>57183140
Embrace the singularity. Hold ICP to profit

>>57183021
so??

also i love how zoomer retards will spend their time finding graphs to show how much their lives suck instead of spending the time to improve their lives. keep whining on the internet, loser...that should help!

>>57183140
It's definitely made life worse, as someone who has lived through the rise of social media platforms and seen its effects on people, I can say with 100% certainty that it's made life worse. I feel bad for you young guys who will never get to live in a world where there isn't this air of cynicism to every interaction you have.

>>57183112
>We just need to find a better way to encourage offline lives on top of it
whos 'we'? just get off the internet, retard

>>57183155
The societal decay has already set in. The competency crisis will affect you too anon get ready for browns to take everything you have. We are letting this society rot

>>57183130
If you have friends and you aren't fucking them then it's gay. If you have guy friends and you're fucking them, it's even gayer.

>>57183161
It made life better what are you talking about. The truth set us free we see the world for what it really is stupid smelly apes gnashing and knowing their teeth forever consuming like a filthy bacteria. Let it all rot

>>57183021
>had sex higher than ever dated

>>57183185
Yes it makes sense. We now know that dating is just a window dressing for mutual masturbation, we cut the fat and now only sex remains no more commitment, no more lies

>>57183161
I'm old enough to remember life before the internet too. It's made things worse in many ways, but it's not all bad. I enjoy the massive amounts of freely available knowledge and all the convenience. It's just sad to think that in a few generations nobody will remember the old world and only know second hand how things were.

>>57183182
See what I mean about you guys being stuck in an ever negative cynical feedback loop? People were well aware of the ails of the modern world, it's not like it was this well kept secret, there were normies then as there are normies now, but all the rise of ever present internet thanks to cellular data plans did for society was spread this notion of cynicism and tone of sophism into conversations in real life.

>>57183147
>dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed
I'm convinced, where do I buy Insane Clown Posse coin?

ya no shit. everyone over 12 has known this for like a decade

i guess you shouldnt live your life and should spend all your time impotently whining on the internet then!

>>57183210
So you want us to keep our heads in the sand and spread our cheeks? Just keep eating shit with a smile? Pandora’s box was opened with the internet the cat is out of the bag no more lies, no more community, no more god, only the singularity

>>57183228
I got your singularity right here

>>57183161
I CONTINUE to insist that the iphone 4 marks a turning point in history where the internet (and thus the world) became way, way worse. Everything post this release just got worse.

>>57183130
99.999% of normie "friendships" are just drinking acquaintanceships so they can pretend they aren't alcoholics

>>57183241
Death would be preferable to the lives most people live. Just look at poor Fresco. Forced to wage in a job that is meaningless, forced to live in an ever atomizing society, forced to live in a godless world

>>57183228
No you retard, are you not capable of reading my clearly articulated post which covers that people weren't really living with their heads in the sand.

>>57183164
Humanity bro.
>just get off the internet
I do, I barely even carry a phone with me. But the offline world isn't the same. Sometimes it feels like a sterile imitation of what it used to be. Plus fewer places like arcades to just hang out at.

Maybe we should all join clubs or do sports. That kind of thing is still fine, better than before even. Martial arts for example has improved massively since the 20th century. Get in shape and find a community. Maybe some activity with more women involved, like dancing, if you want to meet a future wife.

>>57183271
>But the offline world isn't the same
so? has it ever been? do you think the 1940s were like the 1860s?

the world always changes, who cares? you thought fucking arcades would be a phenomenon that would last for centuries or some shit?

>>57183269
They clearly were not aware. You are seriously overestimate the theory of mind for the average person. Most people are completely disconnected from the truth and do not wish to see it. Show people a video of the meat slaughterhouse and they will avert their eyes. We zoomers are taking a stand we will gaze into the abyss and in turn we let this society rot. Every single institution in place is crumbling every single metric of life of the spirit getting worse we will embrace the singularity

>>57183271
>Maybe we should all join clubs or do sports. That kind of thing is still fine, better than before even
This is not possible Pandora’s box has been opened any community you try to start will fall apart eventually. The problem is at a foundational level the rot is set in the heart. Read bowling alone we refuse to partake in this fake society

>>57182318
Anon ill let you in on a little secret.
Life matters in only one place in this most degrading shit world we live

introspective journeys alone into the wilderness.
take the lost in the wilderness pill

>>57183311
Yes. Live amongst the pillar. Let it rot around you as you reach the GodHead

>>57183284
You're right, things always changed and the 1940s weren't like the 1860s either. The introduction of television and cars changed things too, and I'm sure the world of the 90s seemed bizarre to my grandparents. But I'm not sure you appreciate just how large and fundamental a shift the internet is. It's changed the way people live and interact daily more than anything before. The issue too is that this shift happened so quickly.

No arcades weren't going to last forever, but they were nice and I wish people still hung out more outside their homes doing something. Even holidays like Halloween, kids don't seem to be going out as much. And it sickened me a bit that so few of them had the balls to sneak out and break Covid curfews.

>>57182318
Look at what the jews have done to the world.

>>57183348
Societal shame does not work any more we will not partake in this corrupt society any longer as our force fathers did due to ignorance we see truth

>>57183353
> Even holidays like Halloween, kids don't seem to be going out as much. And it sickened me a bit that so few of them had the balls to sneak out and break Covid curfews.
Why would they the internet is infinitely better in all aspects of life they see truth

>>57182877
>Say what you will about millenials, at least they have in person social groups.
Do you really want the millennial "in person" group? They're fucking grim.

>>57183357
It's the internet, not the Jews. Whether you're being ironic or not, the internet has also made way more people believe radical and stupid ideas. I wish they'd go with more modern stupid shit at least, people larping as nazis and communists is lame. Too many of my old high school friends are like that now.

>>57183125
This right here

>>57182865
Same

>>57183261
Quit drinking by age 30 or you'll die in your 40s

>>57183348
See what I mean about zoomers being stuck in a never ending feedback loop of cynicism? You guys are like characters from a Dostoevsky novel who revel in their misery and enjoy letting a darkness seep out of you and spreading it into every avenue of your lives

>>57183392
You have to be the most terminally online weirdo to think this is any kind of norm lol. It's like how fox news boomers believe all of you guys eat avocado toast.

>>57183549
We revel in Truth you so know you need people to participate in this ponzi to make it work right? We are rug pulling your society en masse

>>57183570
"we revel in truth" buddy you're not this enlightened genius who is crawling out of Plato's cave. People have been aware of the truth of the world for a long time, you're being fed this false delusion that you need the internet as a source of truth when in reality it's the source of absolute abstraction and misinformation as it's been hijacked by incredibly powerful institutions.

>>57183605
Yes it is “misinformation” to know the truth of human nature we will not succumb kike

>>57183053
Im a very good poker player and I play at a card club in Texas. Which is technically a “social club” and not a poker room because you pay time instead of rake.

You make dozens of acquaintances with constant face to face contact while playing a game we all love for money. It’s literally the best thing you can imagine given the state of society today. And I’m very personable and affable so I’m well liked and it’s just all around very healthy.

>>57183605
I will say, the one good thing about smartphones is that it’s a great time killer. It keeps your mind occupied. Which is both good and bad.

>>57183053
didn't have close friends in my 20's, then made a couple close friends in my 30's. there are lots of things id give up in life before those friendships, because it's good for to have someone that supports me and will grab a beer and rant about the world with me, it's mentally freeing

>>57183032
that's great and all but I have never met anyone irl who is not an NPC, there are no "red-pilled" people irl. I cannot be a genuine friend to an NPC that obeys the glowy box on the wall

>>57183945
Anon, I hate to tell you this but the "red pill" is just code for autism. You don't want to be friends with people who openly talk about the red pill or anything relating to 4chan irl

>>57183974
This is the biggest bluepill and cope on the board right now

>>57183112
>I don't see how we can go back though, the internet won't go away. We just need to find a better way to encourage offline lives on top of it.
Literally just make every wage a living wage. Go back to a standard of life where working a single job could support a family, and every single facet of life wasn't a capitalist booby trap looking to nickel and dime you to the fucking grave.

The problem isn't the internet; the problem is that real life has become so tiresome and unrewarding that the internet is a viable alternative for people looking to interact and generate a sense of worth. I work full time and have a good amount of savings built up, but even I'm aware of how unstable everything is. Even just the ridiculous corporate price hikes of the last few years have got me pinching pennies more than I'd like to, lest I see my retirement nest egg slowly dwindle. It's tiresome. If I were more financially comfortable, you think i'd even fucking be here? Hell no. I'd be going out to dinner every night and taking vacations every fucking weekend. But I just can't justify that anymore. Every part of it feels like such a fucking waste.

>>57182318
Life only matters if you think it matters.

>>57182318
I don't even know why people even bother anymore. It seems like all there is to life is to just work and pay bills so that you can survive to work for 40 years. And then you suffer old age for another 20 or so years before being tossed in a hole in the ground.

>>57182877
You literally described an average 4chan poster.
If you're a well adjusted social normie then you're lost.

>>57182995
>he says, desperately simulating socializing through the internet, likely to suffer withdrawal symptoms if ever cut off from it

>>57183646
wow anon, how does one get into this sort of thing?

>>57183202
no, this is the result of sexual contraceptives and abortion. anything after that is just a result of the first.

>>57182318
I do find it insane to have NPCs non-chalantly tell you they don't give a shit about covid and won't be getting no vax or boosters

I couldn't believe I was hearing that

>>57182694
This is just semantics

>>57182318
you're right, that's why I started looking for money with SPX just to touch some grass, the only people who aren't NPCs and worthwhile in some way are hidden in something fucking absurd, ironic that 2D bitches help me find some 3D ones
