You hanging in there Jow Forums?

Almost done with finals. Just turned 20 today so yay for me. Any other 5/9ers here?

Tugboats

>5/9ers
Dont you mean 3/8ers?

Fuck no, I'm mad as fuck, where did all these leftist shits come from? Did I miss a shooting or something? Because every fucking thread has at least one motherfucker shilling for liberal bullshit, we can't have a single Rhodesia or Roof Korean thread without it devolving into "oh the poor POC's it's not their fault, whyteppol be rayciss".

It's seriously pissing me off, we can't talk about guns or the tactics used in those situations, and threads where that have nothing to do with "rayciss" shit some faggot derails the goddamn thread.

FUCKING MODS START BANNING THESE SHITS.

I don’t get it. By my own admission I pressed submit way too quickly because 5/9er can be mistaken for a whole lotta stuff other than being born on May 9th.

Make like your tranny brethren and off yourselves.

I'm a straight white guy, and I don't appreciate that. Get lost faggot.

I think mods simply gave up after latest wave of Vatnik/Hwuang/Lefty/Redditor shitposters started, this place is going to shit faster then i have ever seen a internet "community" collapse before at this rate.
Surely Hiroshimoot is to blame for this, fucker can barely keep the website functioning, let alone hire competent mods.

It's the election and Jow Forums's shenanigans that brought in massive waves of newfags. Those "people" are just now starting to seriously spread to other boards as well.

How much USD would it take for me to buy Head modship from hiroshimoot and Fire all the mods, and pick new ones?

Trippin a bit about a secret security clearance I'm trying to get.

I have approximately 50% of people say be honest and 50% say to keep some details to myself.

I think the people who are pushing discretion are the right ones, but I hate lying. I know I'll get past the secret level, but I'm nervous someday I'll go up for TS/SCI and have to be like "Hey, I didn't bring up some early 20s drug use on my Secret clearance."

The thing is, I know guys who joined the military and are officers who I know were doing drugs, they were in frats and shit.

I don't want to disqualify myself for being an idiot when most people are just keeping their mouths shut.

Never admit to using drugs unless the police have it on record.

what job

Meh.
Been jobless for six months. Cant find solid work in my degree field (Int Rel) or anything /out/ or Jow Forums related. Anyone got any suggestions? I am goin crazy here. Just want some dosh to be able to be happy and stop feeling like I have failed everyone.

Still trying to get that job... still trying to get an income so I can finally start chipping away at my goal of getting a pair of dual tube nvgs. Still surrounded by deviants of an increasingly deviant and anti social nature. People ree at me if I try to introduce myself or engage in any natural social behavior
>Haven't you heard of like... facebook maaaan!
I still live in California. Just recently got back from a trip to texas, so I guess I got a taste... but now I just want to go back and leave this place forever... hold me, Jow Forums.

get out of the house you dumb nigger, there's an entire world out there and you're sitting here looking at hank hill memes and traps

then what do?
if it got bumped down to a misdemeanor or disorderly conduct?
asking for myself

Im probably at my lowest point ever, im going to apply for a new job tomorrow, hope that i will feel better if i start working again.

If they have access to the records then there's no point lying about it. The paperwork should strictly define everything they have access to.

Fuck off Masshole

I hate my job.
My only local gun shop didn't return my phone call so no FFL transfer.

I do go out. But I just cant find work, and my money is running pretty thin. I did this fancy ass degree and shit hoping it would land me somewhere but it didn't. Feels like i wasted 3 years of my life.

>dont fall for the uni meme bois

Yeah. Been 6 on 1 off for a month with another to go, so it's been working and getting blitzed. Still kinda figuring out what to do with the revelation playing with rockets and high explosive for four years may have left me punch drunk.

Doing my military service, recon/guerilla shit is pretty fun.

Temp agency, those guys will fix you up with work in different places. Pay is mediocre, but it’s money and it will get you out of the house. If you happen to find one of those places to your taste, then you can go back there on your own time.

I could be worse. I'm in that transitional period between the way my life is and the way it has to be, and it's tough letting go of old friendships and habits to make it happen. I know change is necessary, and I want it, but at the same time I don't. I'll press on, because I have to, but it sucks man.

kek

People below you will *always* hate that you got promoted over them and will *always* think they're more deserving of what you got. And it intensifies the more you move up the ladder. Be particularly vigilant against cut-throat bitches, who're always trying to smear you to the management (officers in your case). In my experience, the cut-throat bitches will *always* be the *friendliest* to your face; so if you don't have sense, you might easily confuse them with your closest work friends.

Be particularly leery about confiding to *anyone* about grievances with the management (always finds it's way back to them). Also note these cut throat bitches are the *exact* type to do sketchy shit like befriend you, sell you some dope, and then rat you out to the management for having it. Any dishonorable tactic they can use to smear you they will. They also like to gain your trust, then start bitching about the management so you do the same, then take all that you said straight back to the bosses.

And once again, the higher you move up, the more you run into shit like that. Be friendly with all your coworkers best you can, be able to take criticism well, but beware of the corrupt office politician type (this means you should be super skeptical of anyone who's simply *too* friendly with you).

I've never been in the military but that applies to every workplace I've ever been and if you don't learn it the easy way, you'll learn it the hard way... Most people think that, in order to move up, they have to yank down their immediate superior.

She says Do you love me

I tell her only partly

I only love my guns and my doggy I'm sorry

Thanks friend thats some solid advice. I'm typically a very nice friendly person so i really hope this move doesn't change who i am. although i might not have much of a choice

Not him, but I'm pretty fucking glad to know that there are people out there that know about this shit.

Eh, you'll change but if you have a good head on you it's not going to change who you are.

She can be your doggy tho...

I'm just lonely, all my friends moved away and the only one I hangout with is my past ex who I still have feelings for but she's moving away soon anyways, so that's good, I guess. At least finals will be over soon.

I feel you, broseph. I've outgrown my highschool friends. Workplace friends cannot be trusted (particularly once you've moved up a couple notches), as they have a vested interest in knocking you down so they can move up, see:. And I hang out with my ex (whom I still have feelings for), but it simply hurts a lot that it can't be anything more than that now.

Also, my current best friend (a girl), I'm completely in love with and she's getting married in a week.

But despite all that, I'm doing okay. Probably better than most 4channers, and I can give thanks for what little I DO have. I'm not *quite* happy or fulfilled, but I think seeking that is like a chimera, no one ever actually gets to complete happiness and fulfillment.

And I grew up in a pretty rough place with a lot of bad shit happening all around, so I can be thankful and reasonably happy adult with a mediocre life. Things could be better, sure, but they could be a fuckton worse.

The chronically depressed man is always fixated on those who have more (and jealousy, envy, and "it's not fair" eats him alive). The happy man realizes he has it better than a lot of people and can be thankful.

Marcus Arelius you've been dead for 2000 years get off Jow Forums

I hear ya, there's no point in always being down. I know from experience that if I keep thinking negatively I'll have a harder time getting out that rut. Similar to what you said I just stay positive, I'm definitely grateful for where I am now I just don't want to squander the opportunity I have. So while I'm lonely I know I'll meet more people in the future, my biggest concern is just finding a career that will being enjoyable and/or give me a decent income. But I doubt writing will pay the bills, and I don't know if I'm settled on being a history teacher.

Fucking around with a vest I haven't touched in a couple months. Found a full pack of smokes in a mag pouch. Good day. Gonna break it in by walking around with a bunch of tall boys in it all day.

Holy fuck, are you me??? I went to college for history teaching. I got 7 classes from the end and dropped out. Full time work and college was making me crazy. Also my mother's offer to pay for college was bullshit (she's a very shady person). It took me 8 years to get almost to the end of a bachelors because I was only taking courses part time. But I spent so much student loan money that I needed to front a few hundred each semester to continue, which I could not afford and full time work and senior level courses were terrible. I never had a day off and all of my free time was going to writing papers. I was miserable. Despite good grades I never finished.

FOR EVERY ONE TEACHING JOB THERE'S HUNDREDS OF QUALIFIED APPLICANTS

I caps'ed it because it's important for you to know. Most people with a degree in teaching of some sort wind up working in something else because of lack of jobs. Don't make my mistake.

Learn a trade. Due to advances in technology, the need for bureaucracy is far less in this nation and most guys making decent money (not good, but decent) are trademen. This is particularly good if you hate school (like me). Get an apprenticeship in something like butchery, welding, soldering, or machinist (machinists can make a killing if you're good at it). You'll be able to have a good middle class life and not go to school.

You can go two routes with learning a trade. You can get hired on in a butcher shop, machine shop, weld shop, etc. And then if you're worth a fuck you can apprentice into it. I'd highly recommend this route over trade school. It's one of those things that they don't really expect you to have go to trade school, they'll just test to see if you can do the job well.

I'm convinced working a job where you *actually produce* something is far more fulfilling than being a bureaucrat of some sort, where you know in your soul that your job is not really needed and is *actually parasitic* to the company's wellbeing.

Any methods you have for staying positive other than just repeating it in your head?
I don't have much of a life outside of work, which would be fine but I had a thing with the manager, but she ended it with some crappy excuses and is now actibg like nothing happened. It's shit because every disagreement/argument/days she's in a bad mood feels like it's personally aimed at me.
Need to get out of here I guess, but still, wish I could go back to before and just be mates.
Apologies for the torrent of shit, but I can't really talk to anyone about it and just typing this makes me feel better.

To keep it Jow Forums, are there any bongs in here? How are gun clubs generally here? Friendly or elitist?

Listen to this man. I dropped out of a physics program at a pretty damn good school and got into the trades. It's much more satisfying, if you have a good union that helps. Much happier with my life. Maybe part of it is I get to be a crass lowlife with my coworkers like it was back in the .mil. spend your GI Bill to go to learn a trade or how to operate heavy machinery instead of coding. Money's good too for a single 20 something with no family.

Struggling. Just got to my new unit a few weeks back. The hours are terrible, the work sucks, and I still don't have any friends. I can't tell if I hate it here or I'm still just getting used to it

Attached: big mood.jpg (540x405, 58K)

Yeah I met a former teacher and he said a lot of what you listed, plus he explained that my state is just going down the drain at light speed for benefits so unless your entire heart is into it, it's really not worth it. I totally agree with the trade schools stuff, there are a lot of opportunities out there that people take for granted, I just don't know if that's my thing (as assinine as that sounds). Most of my family works in the carpentry field at various levels so Im experienced in it but I could never get to into it. I have a couple options I'm considering, all of which are viable but which ever I pick I have to stick to it and can't deviate. So for now I'm just weighing their pros and cons.
You don't have to be sorry dude, this thread is all about letting it out. I know different methods work for different folks but I personally just tend to take everything in stride. It's not like I'm always happy, I still have my slumps, but I don't let it rule over me. Sometimes just exercising clears my mind, other times I just play some vidya, or just write a little bit for a story, different strokes I suppose. I don't think I can really give you a cure all because we all have our own methods that may or may not work for others. Sometimes a hobby is the best thing to discover, I'm sorry I don't have the best answer for you user.

Thanks man, it's just nice to tell someone, it's already helped a little. I definitely need a hobby, something that gets me out, I'm interested in urbex so really ought to get on that.

The pain needs to go away. The fucker got stupid lucky and essentially has everything.

Pretty sure I've failed out of university. No idea how to tell the folks.

Not really. I've come to realize over the past two years that everything I like, from my country to my favorite 4chinz board, has been overrun by lazy commies and useless political leeches who've brainwashed their constituents into believing there's only two choices, and that we're probably going to lose every semblance of rights over the next 6-10 years. We're watching the end of everything good and nobody wants to do anything about it.
Past that everything's pretty cool and I'm probably just being a whiny little bitch.

I'm in the exact same boat user. But listen to Make sure you lead from the front. Don't tell your soldiers/troops to do anything you won't/can't/arn't doing/able to do. Set the example and do the right thing. The good ones will follow you to the end and the shitbags can be smoked into working. Look out for your guys before anything else and it'll go a long way. If you bust your ass for them they'll bust their asses for you. Know your shit, own your shit, and stand up for your shit.
But just step up. I'm sick of seeing NCO's who don't give a fuck about their job or soldiers. Gotta be the change you want to see.

I am in a relationship with someone for around nine months now, don't even know if the feelings I have for them are genuine or I am simply telling them what they want to hear. As for myself?

I know that these things hurt coming from your mother - I take my mother's words personally, more so than she intends. She has then said I was too sensitive to her words.
Sometimes people get angry and say shit they don't really mean.
Why are they bringing up your ex-gf? she (ex) sounds like a horrible person, hopefully this one is better. Stay strong user.
>ignore the world
there is a certain balance of things you should keep in mind. Don't care too little, but don't care too much. I'm not sure what you mean by it though.

I feel pretty bad honestly military turned me away because i have bad sight on my right eye, i hope i can get that apprenticeship as a security guard.

How bad is your right eye, and how Jow Forums are you? What State/Country are you in?

And is the right eye correctable at all?

Asking because i have eye issues too, but I was able to work around it and was able to become a LEO.

Thanks for the advice guys i apreciate the help
