I gave up long ago. Nothing warrants effort anymore because there is no return/reward. Even with free time im just fucking tired most of the time and just resting or relaxing
Yes, and... Remember the power of yes, and. With those two words you can create your own reality to extent of your imagination and will. Be the protagonist in your own story. These things happened, yes, and?
What an utterly naive statement. Wake up and quit with the toxic positivity. Quit telling people who are suffering from the oppression of the capitalist dystopia that their suffering is just "all a matter of perspective".
Exactly. The objection to taxes outright doesn't make sense to me, but they do need to be used for useful stuff. This is why you vote and get involved in politics
Oh, you're not political? Well, A, that *is* a political position, and B, I assure you the people who don't have your best interest in heart are, very much, political.
Get involved or get dead via the mechinations of Big Business.
Many people debate doing just that every day. And every passing day more and more people see the alternative as the preferred option to the perpetual suffering of existing.
Suicide rates have been rising dramatically every year. They have risen nearly 40% from what they were 20 years ago.
You could always get a job in a toilet paper warehouse and let your employer know they should have paid you enough to live....instead of living like that. Ya know. Fire tends to get shit moving.
Lots of similar fires gets shit moving even faster. Golf courses fighting kudzu infestations are also a good motivation. Country club pools getting contaminated could be a message as well...
Yeah then you get to spend a good portion of your life in prison. Getting extorted and beaten while the people who own the warehouse get a fat insurance payment and only a short inconvenience. Then when you get out you will only be able to find worse jobs due to the felony on your record. Sure seems like a good deal, doesn't it
And here we have a person who will do nothing but whine on the internet and be confused why the guillotine memes and snarky commentary aren't improving the world.
Ok edgelord. If you get your jollies off to being a dick to the disenfranchised then more power to you. Just gonna block and move one cause I don't need toxic people like you in my life.
I was mostly an /mu/ person (got a lot of good recs over the years and did a lot of sharing of my now RIP'd external 's collection). If you mean the boards to avoid? I can't say for certain anymore, but /b/ was always a mess.

You will give pieces of yourself to a richer man, and when there is nothing of you left to take it will be because there is nothing left.

I agree with everything you're saying, just that you *should* be getting something for your taxes besides dead Palestinian kids.

If you get caught it's because you want to.
The clearance rate for US based murder is less than 2%.
Arson clearance rates are no better.

OK, we have a person choosing the "slowly fade away option" as described by the OP. Interesting choice, but hey it's your life.

I agree, but I am pretty sure it's far beyond imgur

Nah I'm gonna stick around and call people out on their self pity. Fucking do something about it already or shut the fuck up and stop whining

My brother in Christ, do not speak of the schizophrenic malestrom of 4 chan as though it has ever held a specific idea on anything.
NaughtButOne
4chan is not a monolith. They have individual boards with their own cultures, much like Reddit.
CraftyGiant
It DOES attracts more than it's fair share of idiots, edgelords and incels though.

I was there back in the day, before /x/ existed. They're definitely different people there still hanging out but lol

Which boards?
