>>8707154
Work to improve yourself and wait you idiot, you are going to live a long time

>>8707193
Based

If you are a 25 year old guy, I will keep building up margin longs with moderate leverage as a fuck up will liquidate me
If you are a 25 year old woman, I am already shorting with high leverage knowing its past its ath by a decade

fag

unironically thought the same when I was in my 20s
now in my 30s and the peak is now
4chan autism makes for late bloomers, like the other anon said you should go long on yourself

>>8707154
no it didn't, you just think that because you're a depressed faggot that doesn't leave the house and have a healthy life

>>8707154
That either means you can retire now or you will die soon.

>>8709837
no, it means I'm a poor, lone 23yo that is about to kill himself

>>8709771
I'm 28, had one single successful 'business' (made $40,000 after tax trading Cryptokitties), but have nothing else. I have about 15k in student loan debt and no degree. No work history.

Not sure if I should continue on with my original plan of becoming a software developer or do something else at this point.

I feel a lot like OP, honestly.

>>8707154
i was probably the happiest i'd ever be at age 7 and then also age 15. those were two golden periods of my life. 17-20 was shit cause my mum died at 17. at 20 things were pretty good because of uni life.

24 was the worst due to brain fog issues. now im 30 and i'm not exactly where i wanted to be because i don't have a job yet.

>>8707154
Same, and the wort part is I knew it back then. I always dreaded becoming an adult, life is bullshit but as least when you're young you're allowed to escape into childish fantasies and hopes for the future.

Also I lost all my childhood friends when I changed schools and never made any friends ever again, and ever since I've felt like I had to return to my original school. Even now, 6 long years after graduating high school after having returned to school after working a shit job for 3 years, I still have dreams where I'm a kid again and I return to that school and reunite with my friends. Whenever I go back to my hometown and I go near it I get this weird feeling. Wish I could rewind time man, if I had only known what I know now 15 years earlier....

I can identify with your entire post, Anon

Do it. I did three years of college and then dropped out when I realized you don't need a degree to get a job as a software engineer. All you need is to actually know how to program. Learn a few different languages using google and put them on your resume. I'd recommend Node.JS, Python, and one other of your choice. Use hackerrank.com to test yourself on common problems that you would experience in an interview and also on the job. Once you feel comfortable, apply to many different places as a junior software engineer. You should also create a GitHub account and put everything you do on there and also put your GitHub on your resume. A few places will care that you don't have a resume, but most are smart enough to know that actually knowing how to code trumps a degree because you get a fuck-ton of retards that do get a degree but know shit when it comes to actually writing code to solve a problem.

Also read your SICP and do one of those online algorithm courses with tons of challenges and problems, great for interviews.

>>8710001
I really appreciate your input and I didn't expect to find someone who could give me that kind of advice here. I guess I just don't know where I stand at the moment.

I can code to some extent. I did some self-study focusing on Python and iOS (Swift) for 2-3 solid months (full time) and I learned the basics: OOP, variables, loops, functions, classes, searching and sorting (can do basic binary search kinda thing), I have a vague notion of time complexity (big O?), have used "git commit" and "git push" a few times... I can probably code a really basic iOS app at this point, something that pulls from an API that returns json and formats it nicely for a user and allows them to interact with the data in some way. It'd take me a while and I'd have to reference tutorials heavily but I could do it.

I can basically complete most entry-level coding challenges but I have trouble with really complex stuff, I don't think I'm ready for binary trees and knapsack problems yet so that's something I'd want to study between learning how to whip up actual apps.

Do you think I should just go full steam ahead and try to find an iOS developer job?

I also have an opportunity to get a low-tier IT job (nepotism) but it's basically a min wage job and not at all relevant to development

Hodling out for true VR.

>>8710096
True VR implies true AI around the corner though. True AI could invent time travel. If time travel and the advanced neuroscience for true AI are available, you could time travel and transfer your mind to your younger self, allowing you to correct the mistakes of your past. That's too good to be true, so true VR will never exist.

>>8710096
what does this meme mean?

>>8710509
It was originally made to show that VR sucked I think. Oculus cucking people out of their money or something like that.

>>8710546
Thought it might have been in reference to a defect that causes burning of the face or something

>>8707154
i am so afraid and tired anons, it's so hard yet i know that i live an easy life with no real problems, i hope God will be merciful even tho i am pathetic.

>>8710895
There is no God, or if there is, he is evil.

>>8709972
Yeah. So I did the whole move schools too and it fucked me up mentally. Took over a decade to get back to normal.

I actually did return (it was a k-12 school) but it wasn't the same. If you were to go back it wouldn't have solved your problems.

>>8710985
>>8709972
even worse is being a product of a single mother

I think I stopped keeping apace with math in the 7th grade.

>>8710985
Sounds like you are a bit better off than me, maybe it did help a bit. I'm only now starting to get back to normal, I had what was basically PTSD(Different diagnosis because of ongoing trauma instead of traumatic event, but more or less similar symptoms) after leaving school because of all the bullying I suffered, had to leave college because I literally couldn't sleep at all because of nightmares and some people spread nasty rumours about me that even the professors started to believe, got called to several disciplinary meetings that ended up in nothing because it was all bullshit, but I became extremely paranoid and didn't leave home in over a year, then ended up in the slammer at 20 after trying to kill myself. Got out, started going to a group therapy and actually talked to some grills that went there that also suffered from depression and eating disorders, started seeing women as fellow humans with their own weaknesses instead of distant staceys who only existed to torment me. Started working in a family member's office doing some simple web dev shit and translation stuff, reading math textbooks on the side. Now I'm back in college studying data science, so far so good, I'm not super popular or anything but since I'm no longer a sleep deprived paranoid mess it's easier to get along with people.

>>8711090
I actually only started to get better once I cut out my dad out of my life. If you think a single mother, constantly fighting parents, regular beatings and screaming sessions and a father that found any excuse acceptable for banning you from doing anything whatsoever to develop a hobby or a social life is way worse.

same thing here but with single mother

people with good families don't know how good they have it mane

>>8711181
Yeah looking back that might have been the worst part of it all and if my parents had divorced years earlier or if I had seriously taken my grandparents' offer to go live far away with them tings would have been better. I was a social retard but there were a few chances to break out of that rut, but I was jut so full of fear from all the constant fighting and screams I couldn't process human relationships normally.

>>8707154
Business & Finance, sorry

>>8711237
Your pasts affects your financial future anon. Talking about what people with fucked up childhoods have done or are dong to break out of the shithouse and make it in this shitty world is relevant.

what's stopping you from killing yourself?

>>8709866
why

>>8707193
I like you anon.

My wife puked when I was 31
