Why are we here?

I have no friends so if there's something I want to talk about, this is the only place. Also when I lack willpower to be productive, it's much easier to come here.

>first alternative you bring up is plebbit
no, i'm not a fag. i thought you meant alternative places like this. then i was going to say be on the watch in a few months, but not anymore.

Old habits die hard, op
I've been stuck here since 2010

I think reddit is like a shitty gateway drug. IT's the place your likely to hear of before Jow Forums so you spend awhile over there. And if you aren't a retard and find that the echo chamber discussions over who is the best person to be unsatisfying you move onto the harder and more gratifying purity that is Jow Forums

honestly? habit. i've been coming here since 2007. i can't stand talking to most people on here, and there's nothing to be gained from browsing Jow Forums except impotent resentment at the world. Jow Forums's gotten way too bad with the post-irony "i was just pretending" shit. i feel like discourse on here is just as bad as reddit, but in a different direction.

it's fun you faggot

>discourse on here is just as bad as Reddit
Its shit but not even close to plebbit

Because it's good reading material I like it better than any book I have ever read

i have been here for 6 months already
>inb4 hurr newfag durr
yet i relate to many of you in an almost incredible ways

this is gay as fuck and you need to remove yourself

This is fucking gay. Lurk for at least 1 more year before you ever post again. Your post is bad and you should feel bad.

Pretty much this. The only use I can fathom for Reddit is for the few subs where really in-depth discussions take place all the time or subreddits that cater to a very particular kind of content such as individual video games or a tv series.

Jow Forums is my swiflie replacement since the servers are slow and REVIVAL is a cunt

i started browsing a few years back due to some of my interests and found the posts funny. as for r9k specifically, i'm not a robot now but i was a virgin for a long time and try to stop by threads here and offer some advice or help when i can. i know it's not always heard or even wanted, but i if i can help just one robot get over his anxiety, virginity, or a problem just one day faster i'll feel good about myself

for "serious" topics like politics? yeah, Jow Forums's better for sure. for day-to-day fun hobby shit like /v/ideo games, /mu/sic, etc. this place is an absolute gamble of a shitbox. reddit is like the annoying overactive kid that has some obvious passion for the topic at hand while Jow Forums's the kid that says shit just to rouse a reaction from someone, even if they don't actually agree with what they're saying
>seriously liking game/album/map/weapon/character/whatever
>smugreactionpic.png

it was funny for the first ~5 years i was here, but it's gotten old

The only way to be yourself and get attention. Image posting with it is a superior way of expressing yourself. The rest of the world is like a purgatory of witch hunting kindergarten kids that only think they know how to behave whilst trying to be the parent only so they personally can punish rathr than tattle. Aside from the jannies, here isn't so faggot with control over how I behave. There's no better alternative.

Well I started going on /b/ back when I was a 12 year old meme kid cause I heard a lot about it, now I'm 20 and this place just feels right to me.
Reddit really is full of fags, hate the account and points system so damn much.
Tumblr is tumblr....
I don't really think I'm as much of a robot as the other guys on here but I damn sure don't fit in with normal people.

I remember the good old days when it was gaiafags that eventually moved over to Jow Forums

I think it's because you've grown older but the majority of the people here are newer and younger
I know that feel

>coming from Reddit to Jow Forums
>thinking reddit is the starting point for internet users

I was doing well to avoid it and just do things that I find enjoyable instead, before my friend basically left for months to deal with personal stuff. That stress or loneliness gave me a returned need to, I guess, occupy my mind with dumb stuff like this because focusing on anything of value is too difficult again.

im gay i get, it, yet arent we all? with all the whining, and trap posting and shit?

When did I say I came from reddit first?

No you actually don't get it.

Kill yourself.

I feel for you. I've only been here a few years, but place was a godsend to find.
For an anime loving actually autistic intellectual to find a whole site full of like-minded people without having to show myself was an amazing. I'd almost almost certainly dead if this place didn't exist.
Sometimes I think I'm dreaming
Sometimes I think about what a terrible dream this is.

Because I will literally do anything to avoid sitting alone with my thoughts. All I do in life is the bare minimum work needed to scrape by (I've been failing at that too recently) and then spend the rest of my time shitposting on here. I used to think that posting on online forums like this would make up for my lack of social interaction and maybe even lead to something human connections but I was very wrong. There are brief moments in the day where I start thinking about my life, the type of person I am, where it's all headed, etc and have a panic attack where I start nervously shaking, tearing up and sweating. Just this past week I tried to stop posting on here but I couldn't even last a day with my thoughts. I honestly don't even relate with most people on here anymore, 99% of the threads are about dumb normie shit I don't care about and there's no sense of support or community here anymore. The few feels threads that get posted either get minimal posts or just turn into people dumping their feels without interacting with anyone else. I still read these garbage threads for hours and hours every day just to avoid facing reality, just to avoid accepting what I've become for a little bit longer.

>arent we all?
no,no,no, you still don't get it yet.
thanks for being part of the reason for the events that will occur though.

I have no other means of talking to other people.

You're just lonely, user.

Around the time right before Jessi Slaughter - someone sent me proof of a pastor trying to get a 12 year old to strip naked on cam. They brought me the proof and his email address and wanted me to "black mail him"... Instead I brought it to /b/ - because at the time the pastor's church group, family members, facebook wall - were all public. I knew if I didn't anything alone, by myself - I would just be blocked...

/b/ had a fucking field day with it - sent it to his parents, his 13 year old daughter, his wife, posted it on the church page - his brother in law went on a tirade about how he used to be the black sheep. They alerted police - the guy was eventually sent to jail - ever since that - never left.

If I can remember his name I'll post the news article

>what is an metaphor

All I said is that more often than not you will have heard of reddit before Jow Forums if you're not an oldfag. Becoming disgruntled with reddit's bullshit is what lead me to this place due to all the freedom we have here. Like freedom of retardation as you are oh so brilliantly demonstrating.

I need noise.

I don't want to have to stop and think.

I could improve myself but I'd rather stay in my shell. I have an okay job and own my own home, but when girls or getting a better job or why I don't try to improve my art or coding skills the paranoia kicks in and I worry that this is the best I'll ever be. I'm gonna slowly lose all my friends as they move on or get married and I'll be alone and probably really fat.

Who would want to be with me? I bet they can tell I'm a waste of time. Useless ugly stupid manchild with my fucking anime/videogame toys. Yeah that'll impress everybody, spend a hundred bucks on some pose-able plastic. That'll make up for how boring I am.

I'm actually too selfish to kill myself.

Gonna go put on some urban exploration youtube and play Vermintide or something.

It's more entertaining than my actual life.

It's a substitute for real social interaction where it is shockingly easy to get attention and it takes shockingly little effort to participate.

Hurr durr newfag hurr

You can't escape being called a newfag newfag. You are a newfag today and will always be a newfag even 10 years from now.

It allows me to mope about my life and feel better that others are going through the same thing

"Man is born in order to think. Except that I don't believe that. I've never believed it, and I still don't believe it, and what man is born for -I have no idea. He's born, that's all. Scrapes by as best he can." - Redrick "Red" Schuhart

night, I can feel my leg and my arm... even my fingers... the body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting. It's like they're all still there. You feel it too, don't you? I'm the one who got caught up with Cipher. A group above nations... even the US. And I was the parasite below, feeding off Zero's power. They came after you in Cyprus... then Afghanistan... Cipher... just keeps growing. Swallowing everything in it's path. Getting bigger and bigger... Who knows how big now? Boss. I'm gonna make 'em give back our past... take back everything that we've lost. And I won't rest... until we do.
I also do not like women, they are not people.

Let's be honest, Jow Forums is the place we come to die

I fit in here more than any other group on the internet.

Because it's generally comfy. Back in the day because I genuinely had fun and enjoyed the people. Now just it's comfy and familiar, though I still have this strong autistic loyalty to Jow Forums.

Came for the memes, stayed for the cesspool

>decide now would be a prime time to ascend to a new platform

I got nothing else to do, nowhere else to go.

I can say what I want without people freaking out. I can talk to other strange normal people about taboo subjects. I can argue with someone, and call each other faggots, and then turn around and possibly have a nice conversation with the same person about a different topic. Its a great platform, even if the media exposure is making it worse.

In class bored

>first started browsing in 9th grade (2009)
>you faggots make me laugh about retarded 2009 era internet shit

im 24 now and basically nothing has changed lmao

It's the black hole of teh internet.

Just to suffer

Oreganoli

Fucking wizard cast a spell on me. Walking down the street like every other day, sun was shining, birds singing, all of a sudden this robed motherfucker with a hat jumps out of the bushes holding a big ass book and screams at me in a strange tongue. I got home and suddenly the first thing I did was boot up my computer and browse this site and now I can't stop coming here. Deep inside I knew that wizard did this. If I ever find that motherfucker again boy gee howdy

I need some form of socialisation to not go mad and this is more comfortable than the alternatives

Attached: 7500916_p0-1.jpg (600x600, 142K)

Because the people here discuss topics and share opinions that are either uncommon or uncommonly expressed in real life. Or on other online communities.

I unironically love you all of course. Platonically that is.
I remember moot telling a story about how he got an email which thanked him for giving us a home.
Miss you moot ;_;

Because I'm looking for posts like this. Because I write posts like this, and never dare to namefag when I do.

Only site that always gets a laugh out of me.
