>cooking
what's this look like to you? do you just come up with new recipes all the time or do you just enjoy cooking the standard IST diet of chicken, potatoes etc?
I don’t come up with any recipes. I really enjoy saving money and WFH so I will try and cook often. I will google stuff or go down a rabbit hole for certain regional cuisines, like I recently got into Hmong and Vietnamese. I count calories so I don’t eat the normal fit diet but I only meat 1 meal a day and usually have just a protein shake and some fruit or nuts for lunch or something
how else do you save money?
I literally track every dime I spend for the fun of it. Just made a rough diagram of how much these hobbies cost me. The top two have actually made me money in the past and the bottom two cost the money since they require a membership where I live and a high monthly payment. Also tracking the time spent commuting.
Easiest way to save money is to cook and cultivate your own food, pay off debt, and invest money wisely, I would say a decent portion of Americans have debt and are not investing in their retirement or stocks. Additionally you should be pirating anything you stream and save money on monthly subscriptions.
Anyone's who hobby list is greater than 3 is lying. It's like I went on a vacation once, I do not call that "I love to travel." You guys sound like women when you list a gazillion things you watched half a youtube video about like this guy
>6 minutes
I will never understand how the average man can cum that quickly. Even if I’m speed running it I take a minimum of 10-20mins to jack off and usually take over 40mins to cum if I’m fricking a chick
I don’t. Try again. Taking a long time to cum has been more beneficial to me than not. Every chick I’ve fricked I’ve been able to make orgasm multiple times. Record was when I went 2hours straight with an ex and had her orgasm at least 15 times. She was a nympho and was never satisfied

video games are a waste of time. Its basically board games but online. No one plays them over the age of 30 except for losers without girlfriends/wives or redditors. If you really wanna deal with your demons, look at the amount of hours you've spent playing on steam and think about all the time you could have used working out or making money in that time. For me it was 742 hours and I quit cold turkey. Literally took a baseball bat to my pc
Working overtime, spending more time at the gym, reading books, investing money or picking up cans on the side of the road or coins in parking lots, hitting on women, just insane the amount of time you spend playing Mario kart man, think about how little anyone cares you won the superbowl in madden.
Personally I spend my time hunting and fishing and gardening lately. Trying to cultivate my own food and not give money away. I clip coupons as well. I recently paid off all my cars and student loans. All I have is a 1800$ mortgage at 3.2% interest rate and utility bills and I pull down around 6$k/month net

Mario kart is based. Minecraft is based.
However I stopped being so much into games as I grew older. Right now I only play Minecraft when I dont feel like reading or watching movies. What I mean by this is games are alright as long as they dont replace shit like work or the gym
>think about how little anyone cares you won the superbowl in madden.

>picking up cans on the side of the road or coins in parking lots
Gee instead of playing video games I spent two hours picking up coins in the Vons parking lot and I made $2.25!!!
>work for yourself
like how? most people working for themselves are just turbo wagies putting in 60+ hours a week and most don't even profit after all the work, let alone make more than their jobs
Nah. For me it's ""working"" for the federal government (being paid to do nothing) then using scedule c tax deductions to invest all of my income tax burden into (I'm not telling you). Let's just say it isn't work either and this allows me to be a leach and get paid out of taxes for doing a do-nothing make work job and paying nothing back. I am a bigger net negative to gdp than a Black person in prison. There is absolutely no reason at all to work hard as long as money isn't real. What are they going to do? Downsize the government? Lol. Lmao.
Based. I’m doing the same, albeit at a less efficient level than you. Army veteran so I get sweet benefits. Free healthcare and a disability check for the rest of my life that is not taxed and is adjusted for inflation because I was barely even injured. Then secured me a sweet gig as a federal contractor providing security for federal buildings like FBI, SSA, GSA, ICE, MEPS, etc. where I get paid $70k to chill and watch Netflix at work with a fully funded 401k and a good raise every year

how is anything a lesser waste of time? video games gives you dopamine for a very low cost. Most people are spending numerous multiples more in alcohol, food, drugs, entry fees to bars/events etc just to get a similar level of dopamine. Not to mention that shit all makes you likely to be less IST. Video games lets you keep your mind off those vices and lets you be patient with your diet and investments
Ironically, vidyagays are some of the biggest NPCs in the world. The seething replies are so predictable, it's like telling stoners they should stop smoking weed >b-b-but muh leisure time

Half of men earning over 100k are some combination of autistic, asian or live on an expensive coastal city. The 100k mark isn't really a big deal anymore, lots of apartment dwelling bugmen in places like san jose earn that. It would be more interesting to see the percentage for those earning over 250k.

His wife also makes around $200k because they met in grad school. The hours he has logged in steam are insane. I also know a guy with a chemical engineering degree who didn't want to work so he just sells weed, plays video games, and tutors chess because his fide is 2150.

To be fair if you check shadowstats, $100k in 2022 is $38k in 2012. Our currency has been debased and destroyed. Ribeye was $6.99/lb in 2019 and is now $15.99/lb. It's fricking over. There is zero reason to try anymore. Just get a welfare job with the chair force or the epa or the irs or whatever bullshit handout job and collect a check and pension for doing nothing.

I think I will start a diary where I'll pour down my thoughts on the last book I've read or movie I've watched to just exercise my mind a little bit.
You're right about gf, I kinda would like to have someone to share these activities with, but it's hard to find one
im a brazillian and thinking in posting this on instagram, half of my followers (not much) wouldnt get because they dont speak english, im afraid the other half will see me as schizo weird virgin, should I do it?
im on kuroba so they wont recognize its 4chin (if it were on my pc they too dumb and normie to know this place even the english speaking ones)
why would you even want to post this?
half of your followers as you'd said wouldn't get it and the other half what? what is the expected outcome/reaction from them? only good reason I personally see is if you want to actually motivate someone who spends a lot of time playing videogames to go do something more fulfilling, but in that case, do you think posting this specific screenshot will actually have the desired effect?
honestly social media and worrying about what to post on them is even more of a time-waste than videogames, with games you at least get some enjoyment, with social media you just spend time thinking about what some randoms seeing your picture/video for a mere few seconds will think/if they'll approve or whatever
mind poison
I know, I KNOW you're right, but I still have this childish hope that if I stay active on my town, friend, family circle, I won't be known as a basement dweller freak and maybe quit my 21 year old KHHV phase, yet I'm on this strategy for 1 year know and no results.
I guess I got addicted to this hope and I'm afraid if I try to not give a frick anymore and don't appear on my social medias anymore and all that, I'll be ostracized by society.
I have to man up quickly, I'm running out of time honestly
Do you go to the gym? Do you work a job or study or something like that?
What activities do you do?
Start doing shit with your life and you will both
a) have actual stuff to post on your le social media (like photos from hikes or related to actual activities not screenshots from IST those are counterproductive as frick and only make it seem worse)
AND
b) have no need to post stuff on social media
(because you will have built a group of friends whom you will be in contact with regardless of whether you post on IG or not)
so then you can choose between posting and not posting as you please
>all the fricking cope in the replies
These are the same people who will immediately go into another thread and tell you how much of a based and redpilled alpha male they are. Video games are a waste of time. If you can accept this then you're an addict looking for excuses.
People will seethe at this or think it's bait, but it's 100% true. Video games are for children and manchildren, and a complete waste of time. I lose all respect for a "man" if he mentions it as a serious hobby, it's on the level of playing with dolls like a little homosexual.
>the time you could have used working out
Yeah when I'm done working our I play games >making money in that time
I'd rather have fun than be a wagie >Literally took a baseball bat to my pc
you can use a PC for other stuff beside games, y'know?

story obviously matters too
Look at all the rage. They're mad because deep down they know it's true. Anyone over 30 playing video games or consuming reddit media like Star Wars Lego or Marvel is a manchild homosexual like it or not

I got something like 30k+ hours on steam. I am late 20s. I quit vidya a year ago.

There's a bit of a learning curve but I had been making pizza from scratch for a few years before I started baking bread. Most of the time for baking sourdough is inactive where you can do literally anything else, and you'll have some leeway on fermentation time because it's so slow fermenting compared to commercial yeast. There's tons of informative videos out there. >got some high hydration sourdough pizza dough for detroit deep dish fermenting right now
I make my own bread, it's delicious. My family DEVOURED it at Christmas. It's piss easy. My wife found a no knead bread.
Starter (which I've been keeping alive for a few months), flour, water, salt. Wait half an hour. Fold into loaf. Leave to rest covered for 8-12 hours (depending on temp). Fold and shape again. If it didn't overproof on first rise, leave to rise in Dutch oven for an hour on parchment paper. If it proofed like a mother fricker on first rise, go straight into oven and skip second proofing. Bake for 30 mins at 440°F covered, then 20 mins uncovered.
In terms of total hands on time, it take 15 minute. A loaf this good is 7-8$ in the store here, cost me 0.80$ to make.
Honestly I'd start by just making regular white bread with yeast first. That's really easy. Water, flour, and yeast. Salt to taste. Sugar to make the yeast start up before mixing it in. Super easy to learn. No fancy shit like milk or eggs til you get that down.
once you understand the fundamentals and reach the point where you can intuitively troubleshoot your dough
which takes maybe a month of baking a couple loaves per week
you can basically make perfect sourdough on autopilot with ~15 mins of actual labor
hobbies are how people entertain themselves
most modern entertainment like tv and movies are "passive" in the sense that it entails watching others who are playing, fighting etc
the main consequence is that passive entertainment leads to no sense of personal accomplishmet >oh you watched that new movie? just like a million other people
compared to >wow, you caught that fish and climbed that mountain
there is no real difference between sucking nietzches dick or sucking redpill real man bs dick. really close minded. you should strive to be as free from social conditioning as possible, while keeping others conditioned(in minecraft)
They pretend like they’re anti consumer, israelite hating, manly men who have their shit together and when you point out that they’re literally north of 30 and play things meant for children they flip out because the pain and realization of how much of their life they’ve wasted is too much for them to bear and cope with so they ignore reality
i geniuely dont understand whats wrong with consuming, i only cringe when people do it for show off reasons. i have no problem if people have passion for thing and consume it, even the cringy way
It used to be said to make fun of the funko pop/ disney crowd who will buy anything and make it their personality. Now in typical internet fashion, it means anything I don't like (while ignoring what I like/consume)
I consume too, I bought a new enameled Dutch oven the other day for my sourdough. It's nice and very pretty. It's normal, as soon as you buy anything it's consooming. The problem arises when all of someone's joy is derived directly from consuming. If I drive my car with my family out to the countryside and we go on a nature walk, it's not typically considered "consuming" despite the fact that I purchased a car, paid for fuel and if it's a national park, paid for access. But if for fun all I do is pay for and interact with/watch media, it's a wasted consumption.
>But if for fun all I do is pay for and interact with/watch media, it's a wasted consumption.
its perfectly normal to consume, humans get dopamine from consumption. even narcissistic consumption i called cringy, is still about dopamine but more mental mastrubation type.

Direct correlation between being in the flow state and feeling like your life has meaning
Flow state is when your skills match the demands of a task
Can be work, video games, anything, but the more consequences, the bigger the reward
Worst thing that can happen during video games is you go back to the last save screen, that's why you can play for hours and hours and barely feel accomplished
Yoga and pool. I don't think pool is very IST, but walking around a table, bending over and standing back up, and swinging a 19oz cue for 4 hours technically burns some calories.

I've worked on almost everything except things older than NES era. I haven't tried my hand at a PS5 or Series Xbox yet. My favorite repairs are for Sega consoles and accessories, they're wonderfully repair friendly. My most hated are Gameboy micros. They're not difficult, but the case screws strip out like they're made of butter.
the only hobby i have is refereeing sports. i wish i was like the other guys on here who have 10-15 hobbies (everyone pretty much seems to have the same ones) and excel at them
>lifting >riding motorcycle >reading >guitar >running >swimming
would like to play less video games overall and study IT more outside of work. also would like to get into hunting or shooting, maybe surfing as well. And take my bike to go on a bit of a camping trip
Hobbies are great, especially anything that you can do to replace gaming with.
No goyim it's just a coincidence the only way to be a real man is to make your masters the most money, now be a good boy and get to work instead of asking questions
Nothing wrong with gaming, just depends on the game
Don't play fotm grindshit designed to suck your time and soul like Overwatch, Monster Hunter, fighting games, etc
Instead I play things that help my mind like Zachtronics and puzzle games
Vidya, fitness, watching YouTube, walking outside if it's nice weather >noooo get real hobbies what will the wiminz think
Not my problem
My full enjoyment of my free time > some hole's opinion of how exciting/unexciting my life must be
Wageslaving modern culture discourages having hobbies that’s why most people prefer to go get wasted or watching Netflix, everyone it’s just too tired to do anything other after work and study.
>be fit >constantly talk about how boring normies are, everyone in an npc except me >hey fit what are your hobbies >90% of posts: lifting, reading, cooking, musical instrument, learn a language

This, for me it's squat plug sculpting in my clay studio and developing new psychedelic research chemicals to include with my poppers sales at raves...
Creampie cute twinks
This but with 18 and 19 year old women. I don't care if they get pregnant. I hope they do.
>cooking
>hunting
>fishing
>gardening
>doing DIY projects. Really just enjoy saving money and understanding how stuff works, nothing in your home is too complicated
>playing with my kids
>watching hockey (I can't play anymore I got cheap shotted and fricked up my knee)
>workout out/running/lifting
>reading books (really good when the kids go to bed and I don't wanna turn on the boob toob, about 30 mins or a few chapters and I'll go to the bedroom and go to sleep as I feel my eyes getting heavy, books are > movies)
>cooking
what's this look like to you? do you just come up with new recipes all the time or do you just enjoy cooking the standard IST diet of chicken, potatoes etc?
I don’t come up with any recipes. I really enjoy saving money and WFH so I will try and cook often. I will google stuff or go down a rabbit hole for certain regional cuisines, like I recently got into Hmong and Vietnamese. I count calories so I don’t eat the normal fit diet but I only meat 1 meal a day and usually have just a protein shake and some fruit or nuts for lunch or something
how else do you save money?
I literally track every dime I spend for the fun of it. Just made a rough diagram of how much these hobbies cost me. The top two have actually made me money in the past and the bottom two cost the money since they require a membership where I live and a high monthly payment. Also tracking the time spent commuting.
Easiest way to save money is to cook and cultivate your own food, pay off debt, and invest money wisely, I would say a decent portion of Americans have debt and are not investing in their retirement or stocks. Additionally you should be pirating anything you stream and save money on monthly subscriptions.
>DJing
what are you playing anon
Usually dance music, workout mixes, or even mixing music to chill to like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpvjPsme8_k

Anyone's who hobby list is greater than 3 is lying. It's like I went on a vacation once, I do not call that "I love to travel." You guys sound like women when you list a gazillion things you watched half a youtube video about like this guy
Not him but this is an incredibly sad comment, this is what a completely demoralized man looks like.
still zero pussy tho
Sex isn’t a hobby unless you’re a porn addict. If you’re married it’s just something you do a few times a week for 6 minutes
>6 minutes
I will never understand how the average man can cum that quickly. Even if I’m speed running it I take a minimum of 10-20mins to jack off and usually take over 40mins to cum if I’m fricking a chick
if i ever had sex, which im probably not, i would probably cum just from the girl kissing me
They have foreskins and we dont
<|{:'^(]))
You have a crippling porn addiction
I don’t. Try again. Taking a long time to cum has been more beneficial to me than not. Every chick I’ve fricked I’ve been able to make orgasm multiple times. Record was when I went 2hours straight with an ex and had her orgasm at least 15 times. She was a nympho and was never satisfied
>Every chick I’ve fricked I’ve been able to make orgasm multiple times. Record was when I went 2hours straight with an ex and had her orgasm at least 15 times. She was a nympho and was never satisfied
wow dude, thats like so cool, thats crazy, youre like a porn star bro, thats insane how good your dick is
for me it's diy, fishing and camping.
Working out
Vidya
video games are a waste of time. Its basically board games but online. No one plays them over the age of 30 except for losers without girlfriends/wives or redditors. If you really wanna deal with your demons, look at the amount of hours you've spent playing on steam and think about all the time you could have used working out or making money in that time. For me it was 742 hours and I quit cold turkey. Literally took a baseball bat to my pc
Ok
>No one plays them over the age of 30 except for losers without girlfriends/wives or redditors
These are the same people
>and think about all the time you could have used working out or making money in that time
Working how? Working overtime? I pass
Working overtime, spending more time at the gym, reading books, investing money or picking up cans on the side of the road or coins in parking lots, hitting on women, just insane the amount of time you spend playing Mario kart man, think about how little anyone cares you won the superbowl in madden.
Personally I spend my time hunting and fishing and gardening lately. Trying to cultivate my own food and not give money away. I clip coupons as well. I recently paid off all my cars and student loans. All I have is a 1800$ mortgage at 3.2% interest rate and utility bills and I pull down around 6$k/month net
Mario kart is based. Minecraft is based.
However I stopped being so much into games as I grew older. Right now I only play Minecraft when I dont feel like reading or watching movies. What I mean by this is games are alright as long as they dont replace shit like work or the gym
>Mario kart is based. Minecraft is based.
Lmao imagine thinking this as an adult
>you can't enjoy games because.... they're just immature okay? Go pick up another shift and take a single mother out on a date!
Cope
I accept your concession
Thinking a child's videogame is based is cringe.
Being this invested in what is "based" and "cringe" is pathetic
Cringe
alright
wdym bro this is heckin stoic n real man take
Do you even read Locke?
not him but can you explain whats the take here
He's acting like Sargon of Applebee's
its neither heckin based or cringe. its just thing he enjoys i think
Whats the issue? Mario kart is a racing game and Minecraft is a FREEDOM®® simulator
>think about how little anyone cares you won the superbowl in madden.
Nice projection, you fricking sperg.
>this homie seriously bragged to women about his time in vidya the same way he brags to anonymous strangers about his income
What a homosexual.
>picking up cans on the side of the road or coins in parking lots
Gee instead of playing video games I spent two hours picking up coins in the Vons parking lot and I made $2.25!!!
NOOOO ANON YOU NEED TO BE WORKING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIND MEANING IN LIFE IS BY WAGESLAVING.
The only way to free yourself from wage slavery is to work for yourself
>work for yourself
like how? most people working for themselves are just turbo wagies putting in 60+ hours a week and most don't even profit after all the work, let alone make more than their jobs
Nope, try again. My wife and I work ordinary salaried jobs and we’re worth $1.8M at 33 and 30.
Nah. For me it's ""working"" for the federal government (being paid to do nothing) then using scedule c tax deductions to invest all of my income tax burden into (I'm not telling you). Let's just say it isn't work either and this allows me to be a leach and get paid out of taxes for doing a do-nothing make work job and paying nothing back. I am a bigger net negative to gdp than a Black person in prison. There is absolutely no reason at all to work hard as long as money isn't real. What are they going to do? Downsize the government? Lol. Lmao.
Based. I’m doing the same, albeit at a less efficient level than you. Army veteran so I get sweet benefits. Free healthcare and a disability check for the rest of my life that is not taxed and is adjusted for inflation because I was barely even injured. Then secured me a sweet gig as a federal contractor providing security for federal buildings like FBI, SSA, GSA, ICE, MEPS, etc. where I get paid $70k to chill and watch Netflix at work with a fully funded 401k and a good raise every year
My sister just rejoined the chair force for a $110k/yr nursing officers gig. My cousin graduated from the naval academy and will be getting officers pay at like 23.
>woman
>nursing
EVERY SINGLE TIME
how is anything a lesser waste of time? video games gives you dopamine for a very low cost. Most people are spending numerous multiples more in alcohol, food, drugs, entry fees to bars/events etc just to get a similar level of dopamine. Not to mention that shit all makes you likely to be less IST. Video games lets you keep your mind off those vices and lets you be patient with your diet and investments
Next time just say you're an emotionless NPC robot. It'll save you a lot of typing.
Ironically, vidyagays are some of the biggest NPCs in the world. The seething replies are so predictable, it's like telling stoners they should stop smoking weed
>b-b-but muh leisure time
yeah, you're just addicted.
Im 28 and I play videos games with my wife lmfao shut up projecting loser
Absolutely triggered because he’s right. Zing Zam Yahoo Wahoo I beat the Pac-Man and got the high score in Skyrings!
Next time you brag about your gaming imagine you’re talking about the board game “operation”. That’s about how much people care. Wow you got the wishbone out in 2 tries!!
have sex lmfao
Board games are fun as frick because friends are involved. Video games can be fun and relaxing or competitive and fun. I'm 31, play all the video games I want, live a fulfilling life, and frick more in a month than you do in a year.
>believing MSM and internet studies and polls
Big oof
you are just moronic, and im not even him. there is no geniue difference between watching a movie, listening music reading book or playing vidya. if you sit on your ass and read books for 50 hours a week doesnt mean its any different from playing vidya
People who read books are smarter than people who play NBA 2K tho
idk maybe, but they arent smart cuz they read books. so let heckin intellectuals enjoy their books and us morons play nba
Depends on what you're reading. Somebody playing NBA 2K is smarter than someone reading neoliberal propaganda
smarter in terms of grammar and shit. If someone who reads books tried playing nba2K, they would look like a moron scoring maybe only 2 points.
reading doesnt make you smarter. Its actually really ironic how most people say school doesn't make you smart but somehow reading does which is what school makes you do all the frickin time
Checked. These redpill midwits hate education and anything that isn't making money immediately, but also demonize people for creating art and doing things beyond their monetary value. Granted most art done by progressives is shit in all honesty, but imagine if these redpillers and conservatives started taking art and video games more seriously instead of shilling muh trades and being a real man by spending every waking moment wageslaving.
working is shit, so they have to moralize it by being heckin real man kek
The alternative to not working is living with your mom lol
So you're an amerimutt, makes sense.
where i live there is no social shame in that ironically, so doubt we can really discuss that
Books are actually good for you.
well you could argue games give you problem solving skills or help with reaction time. these are passive things these things actually do, as books can help with some imagination, i did listen to audiobooks while playing osrs. doesnt mean i did either for sake of these things, even if i got them passively.
valmet was blueprint for galil tho but i was still wrong. sick rifle nonetheless
>valmet was blueprint for galil tho but i was still wrong. sick rifle nonetheless
Yeah, you were close. Its an oddity of Canadian gun laws so you cant be blamed. Valmets are the only legal AK variant here. Wish it were mine, its a friends. They go for like $8000 canadian pesos.
>$8000 canadian pesos
lmfao the frick man that sucks
thats basically like watching porn for plot
Half of men earning over 100k are some combination of autistic, asian or live on an expensive coastal city. The 100k mark isn't really a big deal anymore, lots of apartment dwelling bugmen in places like san jose earn that. It would be more interesting to see the percentage for those earning over 250k.
>The site surveyed 13,728 of its members who make six figures or more and found 54% play video games at least once per week.
>Those making between $100,000 US and $200,000 US played for an average of 5.2 hours per week. Gaming peaked among men in the $300,000 to $400,000 US bracket at 10.3 hours per week.
Also keep in mind the article is from 2013.
>The site surveyed 13,728 of its members
Googled the site it's referring to:
>according to a study by the dating site SeekingArrangement.com.
So into the trash it goes basically. It's a site for wealthy losers (ricecels, autists, etc) looking for golddiggers.
My friend who makes $200k spends his free time either smoking weed and gaming or driving his car at the race track. He plays video games way fricking more than me and is married. His wife also makes around $200k because they met in grad school. The hours he has logged in steam are insane. I also know a guy with a chemical engineering degree who didn't want to work so he just sells weed, plays video games, and tutors chess because his fide is 2150.
They don't have children and aren't real adults.
His dad is a partyboy salesman who makes 300k a year managing a dealership. I don't think kids will slow him down.
>slow him down
Lol why are you comparing "partyboy" lifestyle to playing videogames and smoking weed? Your friend is doing the same lame shit as every incel teenage neet.
>shitposting on IST is so kewl
shiggyniggy
Where did I say that, homosexual?
Do you realise how gay you sound idolising your moronic sounding friend?
You wish you made as much as his friend and this angers you. That’s funny to me lol.
You don't know how much I earn and I didn't take any issue with his salary (I can't even remember what it was). My point was him trying to claim his friend was some cool guy because he smoked weed and played videogames.
All I said was that he plays video games and is successful regardless.
Post his body
Yeah you don't know him or his dad. He behaves like shane gillis.
>$100k isn’t impressive!
>the median American income is $31k
Bruh
Lol now go look in Europe. Those stinky Europeans are so poor! Haha!!!
>im 6 times more valuable than the average greece citizen
Grim!
To be fair if you check shadowstats, $100k in 2022 is $38k in 2012. Our currency has been debased and destroyed. Ribeye was $6.99/lb in 2019 and is now $15.99/lb. It's fricking over. There is zero reason to try anymore. Just get a welfare job with the chair force or the epa or the irs or whatever bullshit handout job and collect a check and pension for doing nothing.
>$100k in 2022 is $38k in 2012.
I don't normally give a shit about economics but reading this filled me with a sense of dread unlike anything I've ever felt before.
He’s exaggerating. Look it up yourself.
Shadowstats is usually hyperbolic but the official cpi cannot be trusted for shit. There are 100 ways they under report inflation via bullshitting. They have been changing the way the cpi is measured almost every year since we went off the gold standard in 71.
>went off the gold standard
What do we put our dollar against then?
We threaten people with guns and have an exclusivity deal with saudi arabia to only accept oil for us dollars. So other countries must exchange for dollars to buy oil. If somebody tries to go onto their own gold standard we bomb them. That's what happened to lybia. If I were el salvador, venezuela, or argintina I would be extremely worried about my future.
You are correct. I still joke about how I thought $15/hr was a good amount of money back in 2018. You can still live good off $100k in most parts of the US rn
lmfao
The mean income is $60k/yr though. The median is brought down $30k from the mean by all the sub 100iq morons.
A on I don’t think you understand how stats work… median is far more accurate than mean/average here
I didn't say 100k isn't impressive. It's entirely relative. If you make 100k in Missouri or something then you probably have a decent job, a nice house, can afford a stay at home wife, etc. If you live in san francisco then you'll be spending over half your take home income on rent for your apartment.
Every anon here is a multibillionaire with 8 mansions anon, get with it
>wealthy
>100k
pick one
Let me guess you’re rich as frick right and everything is perfect
Dime a dozen larper
100k in parts of the US is nothing. are you some third world street rat who never left his own flavela?
>doesn’t mention these “parts” have the highest costs of living in the world making $100k practically equal $50k everywhere else
You sure are special anon
so tell me how that means you're wealthy moron
Anon you jump to conclusions like a woman
I'm 32 and I play Zelda and Mario with my gf
I'll choose lifting, vidya, movies and books. Don't care what you think, I'm enjoying those
Post body
post yours
Books, movies and videogames are good as long as you're getting more than just quick dopamine out of them. For instance, this Anon
plays with his wife so he also gets a social aspect from videogames.
I think I will start a diary where I'll pour down my thoughts on the last book I've read or movie I've watched to just exercise my mind a little bit.
You're right about gf, I kinda would like to have someone to share these activities with, but it's hard to find one
Who's the cutie
(you) are, anon.
im a brazillian and thinking in posting this on instagram, half of my followers (not much) wouldnt get because they dont speak english, im afraid the other half will see me as schizo weird virgin, should I do it?
im on kuroba so they wont recognize its 4chin (if it were on my pc they too dumb and normie to know this place even the english speaking ones)
why would you even want to post this?
half of your followers as you'd said wouldn't get it and the other half what? what is the expected outcome/reaction from them? only good reason I personally see is if you want to actually motivate someone who spends a lot of time playing videogames to go do something more fulfilling, but in that case, do you think posting this specific screenshot will actually have the desired effect?
honestly social media and worrying about what to post on them is even more of a time-waste than videogames, with games you at least get some enjoyment, with social media you just spend time thinking about what some randoms seeing your picture/video for a mere few seconds will think/if they'll approve or whatever
mind poison
I know, I KNOW you're right, but I still have this childish hope that if I stay active on my town, friend, family circle, I won't be known as a basement dweller freak and maybe quit my 21 year old KHHV phase, yet I'm on this strategy for 1 year know and no results.
I guess I got addicted to this hope and I'm afraid if I try to not give a frick anymore and don't appear on my social medias anymore and all that, I'll be ostracized by society.
I have to man up quickly, I'm running out of time honestly
Do you go to the gym? Do you work a job or study or something like that?
What activities do you do?
Start doing shit with your life and you will both
a) have actual stuff to post on your le social media (like photos from hikes or related to actual activities not screenshots from IST those are counterproductive as frick and only make it seem worse)
AND
b) have no need to post stuff on social media
(because you will have built a group of friends whom you will be in contact with regardless of whether you post on IG or not)
so then you can choose between posting and not posting as you please
>NOOOO YOU CANT JUST ENJOY YOUR TIME YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS BE WORKING AND MAKING SHEKELS
How bout ya have a nice day
What did you do with the time you freed up?
>742
thats fricking light work
married, 2 kids, still playing vidya
you triggered all the loser gamers who can't accept the huge drain videogames are. worse than stoners in their denial.
As a gamer with well over 3k hours in the past 5 years you’ve triggered me, but I know you’re right
Time spent in leisure is just as important as time spent in self improvement
For me they improve my professional skills and further my career. Get fricked, absolutist
Outstanding bait
>all the fricking cope in the replies
These are the same people who will immediately go into another thread and tell you how much of a based and redpilled alpha male they are. Video games are a waste of time. If you can accept this then you're an addict looking for excuses.
People will seethe at this or think it's bait, but it's 100% true. Video games are for children and manchildren, and a complete waste of time. I lose all respect for a "man" if he mentions it as a serious hobby, it's on the level of playing with dolls like a little homosexual.
King shit. Zoomers are seething.
>the time you could have used working out
Yeah when I'm done working our I play games
>making money in that time
I'd rather have fun than be a wagie
>Literally took a baseball bat to my pc
you can use a PC for other stuff beside games, y'know?
You're right about new games though, totally not worth it, that's why I'm learning game dev.
>You're right about new games though, totally not worth it, that's why I'm learning game dev.
kinda true new games have shit artstyle and shit gameplay, all stats in graphics
story obviously matters too
I just wanna enjoy something, what's the issue?
TheGuySheToldMeNotToWorryAbout.png
Look at all the rage. They're mad because deep down they know it's true. Anyone over 30 playing video games or consuming reddit media like Star Wars Lego or Marvel is a manchild homosexual like it or not
Ok
lots of samegay replies
Lil homie thinks he's Andrew Tate.
Yes, you are right. Gaymers seethe makes even more right
>nooo you have to be a normie because..... you just have to okay?
frick off. not my problem
>muh secret vidya club
Vidya has been normie shit for years now
>Literally took a baseball vat to my pc
Into the trash it goes
What an aggressive monkey response if true.
He's right but only in the sense that videogames legitimately aren't good and never have been.
Only exceptions are fighting games, the chad genre. +1 if you attend your locals.
>fighting games
Fricking kek!
Fightan gamers are bigger crybaby pussies than moba players.
>think about all the time you could have used making money in that time
Nah lol
I got something like 30k+ hours on steam. I am late 20s. I quit vidya a year ago.
It’s not some life changing thing. I didn’t have the time anymore. Life is no different. Still no gf.
It was a waste of time sure but it was fun and I don’t regret it.
Look at all the seething this simple post caused.
Gamers are exactly like alcoholics, as soon as you tell them they have a problem and they would be better off if they quit they get defensive and instead try to accuse you of being boring/too extreme/a dick.
Yeah man youre right. I gave away my PC in summer and now only have a steam deck i barely use for playing Mario Kart and Dragonball Fighterz locally with my homies in the living room. Surprisingly many girls also like to play say Mario Party while we drink and then got to bed after. Didnt play a minute of online in 6 years and barely singleplayer games in 2 years
>Stop losing time with video games loser!
>He said while posting on anime website
What did he mean by this bros?
Old gay bequeaths his knowledge on us
I did this and bought a Mac. Frick video games. They are the reason i was fat.
Same goes for TV/Netflix
Total waste of time.
kek at the seething gamers
i have over 1k hours in overwatch, don't think i'll be stopping anytime soon but i'm trying to take a break, haven't played in 6 days
>Literally took a baseball bat to my pc
doubt it, but if you did that's cringe as frick
>vidya are a waste of time
true, gonna play anyway
I've spent over 14k hours on PC video games over my lifetime and I'll gladly spend that time again going into the future.
wow youre so mature
Based. I did this when I had my oldest kid, I was playing Halo 4 one night and realized my wife was with child and I was sitting there getting cussed out by a 12-year-old in an online video game. Have never touched a game since
That's a problem with multiplayer games, which are cringe. Single player is based. End of.
>board games but online
Do you know what online means. moron. I like vidya but I have never seriously played an online video game in my life and never will.
Based
Cringe and npc take

>baking bread
how time-consuming is this? thinking of learning to bake my own sourdough bread
There's a bit of a learning curve but I had been making pizza from scratch for a few years before I started baking bread. Most of the time for baking sourdough is inactive where you can do literally anything else, and you'll have some leeway on fermentation time because it's so slow fermenting compared to commercial yeast. There's tons of informative videos out there.
>got some high hydration sourdough pizza dough for detroit deep dish fermenting right now
I usually make sourdough bread with my wife’s veganal yeast
holy bvsed
I make my own bread, it's delicious. My family DEVOURED it at Christmas. It's piss easy. My wife found a no knead bread.
Starter (which I've been keeping alive for a few months), flour, water, salt. Wait half an hour. Fold into loaf. Leave to rest covered for 8-12 hours (depending on temp). Fold and shape again. If it didn't overproof on first rise, leave to rise in Dutch oven for an hour on parchment paper. If it proofed like a mother fricker on first rise, go straight into oven and skip second proofing. Bake for 30 mins at 440°F covered, then 20 mins uncovered.
In terms of total hands on time, it take 15 minute. A loaf this good is 7-8$ in the store here, cost me 0.80$ to make.
Honestly I'd start by just making regular white bread with yeast first. That's really easy. Water, flour, and yeast. Salt to taste. Sugar to make the yeast start up before mixing it in. Super easy to learn. No fancy shit like milk or eggs til you get that down.
once you understand the fundamentals and reach the point where you can intuitively troubleshoot your dough
which takes maybe a month of baking a couple loaves per week
you can basically make perfect sourdough on autopilot with ~15 mins of actual labor
none of these are hobbies
What's a hobby then.
hobbies are how people entertain themselves
most modern entertainment like tv and movies are "passive" in the sense that it entails watching others who are playing, fighting etc
the main consequence is that passive entertainment leads to no sense of personal accomplishmet
>oh you watched that new movie? just like a million other people
compared to
>wow, you caught that fish and climbed that mountain
Anon, you wont be the only other person climbing mountains, but I'm sure tons of people have fished before
I mostly just work, lift and goon
Lifting
Cycling
Fishing
Golf

I remember when I was 21
Maybe you were smarter back then, because now you think a “real” man just dedicates his life to work without enjoying himself. Tough guy
there is no real difference between sucking nietzches dick or sucking redpill real man bs dick. really close minded. you should strive to be as free from social conditioning as possible, while keeping others conditioned(in minecraft)
Water sports
Soccer
That's about it
Fighting off the urge to blow my head off
Why does vidya make red pill larpers seethe so much?
They pretend like they’re anti consumer, israelite hating, manly men who have their shit together and when you point out that they’re literally north of 30 and play things meant for children they flip out because the pain and realization of how much of their life they’ve wasted is too much for them to bear and cope with so they ignore reality
i geniuely dont understand whats wrong with consuming, i only cringe when people do it for show off reasons. i have no problem if people have passion for thing and consume it, even the cringy way
It used to be said to make fun of the funko pop/ disney crowd who will buy anything and make it their personality. Now in typical internet fashion, it means anything I don't like (while ignoring what I like/consume)
I consume too, I bought a new enameled Dutch oven the other day for my sourdough. It's nice and very pretty. It's normal, as soon as you buy anything it's consooming. The problem arises when all of someone's joy is derived directly from consuming. If I drive my car with my family out to the countryside and we go on a nature walk, it's not typically considered "consuming" despite the fact that I purchased a car, paid for fuel and if it's a national park, paid for access. But if for fun all I do is pay for and interact with/watch media, it's a wasted consumption.
>But if for fun all I do is pay for and interact with/watch media, it's a wasted consumption.
its perfectly normal to consume, humans get dopamine from consumption. even narcissistic consumption i called cringy, is still about dopamine but more mental mastrubation type.
this guy summed it up perfectly

Direct correlation between being in the flow state and feeling like your life has meaning
Flow state is when your skills match the demands of a task
Can be work, video games, anything, but the more consequences, the bigger the reward
Worst thing that can happen during video games is you go back to the last save screen, that's why you can play for hours and hours and barely feel accomplished
How about you show up to the fricking crag and stop pulling plastic
Kids can get their own damn hobbies. Don't need them ruining mine like they have ruined IST.
saying this from a verified twitter is just as pathetic tbh
reading science fiction & fantasy but mostly sci-fi
shootan. Also like fishing but just when im with the boys drinking beers, nothing serious. Also like hiking but I dont consider that a hobby.
Is that a Galil rifle?
Youre both wrong. Its a valmet converted with galil parts(i live in Canada)
Cool aren't those the only AK variants you can but in Canada?
actually looks like ace
yeah but it has that exposed gas tube on top with no pic rail unlike the galil ace with a full pic rail on top.
>ace
Who do you think makes them?
israel obviouly?
actually pretty sure it has some ukraine venezuela and vietnam made licenses too
lol actually its colombia and chile not venezuela
Yoga and pool. I don't think pool is very IST, but walking around a table, bending over and standing back up, and swinging a 19oz cue for 4 hours technically burns some calories.
you get bent over a table with other men and enjoy it? hmmmm....

What does boating mean? Does he mean sailing or just like motoring around in an aluminum boat?
You own a boat. You take the fellas out on the boat. You drink a couple brewskis. You drink a lot tbh. Because you own a boat. You become boat guy.

I already saw it. Needs loomis.
How could you possibly have time to commit a decent amount of effort and time to this many things. Even worse a lot of them are quite time consuming hobbies. Doing something once in a blue moon doesn’t make it a hobby.
It also comes across so aggressive like a chip on his shoulder. It’s like these are your hobbies dude, enjoy!

I'm not gonna cry that I enjoyed my life but I didn't become emperor of Rome.
The only thing I will ever regret is wasting my time for people that are not important to me.
I'm not going to be upset that I wasn't handed the world, I'll only ever be upset for the times I didn't even try to live my life.
Who cares if I played shitty games or read stupid books or watch terrible movies, because I'm grateful for the ones that were great.

I wanted to get a hunting license but I live abroad and have to take the exam in the local language.
This is a good point. My dad didn’t teach me anything.
Guess bragging about cars and clothes are kinda looked down upon these days, so these buttholes had to invent exotic hobbies and travels to brag about
unironically watching movies got me pussy, made a letterboxd and started posting stuff made friends with indie under girls went to parties kek, cope & seethe if u watch shit like marvel or DC

Is that enough hobbies bros?
game consoles
Do you sell the consoles? I can't imagine that would make a lot of money. I tried fixing an xbox one controller a while ago and it was a b***h.
Yeah I sell them on eBay afterwards for a little profit. I fix medical equipment as my day job so game systems and accessories are trivial to repair.
That's really interesting anon. Probably only new consoles right? There has to be a ton of used xbox 360s and gamecubes for cheap.
I've worked on almost everything except things older than NES era. I haven't tried my hand at a PS5 or Series Xbox yet. My favorite repairs are for Sega consoles and accessories, they're wonderfully repair friendly. My most hated are Gameboy micros. They're not difficult, but the case screws strip out like they're made of butter.
>gamecubes
>cheap
Lol
Are they expensive? There's a game store near me that has a wall of old gamecubes

would like to play less video games overall and study IT more outside of work. also would like to get into hunting or shooting, maybe surfing as well. And take my bike to go on a bit of a camping trip
Hobbies are great, especially anything that you can do to replace gaming with.
No need to study IT just get a helpdesk job and learn on the job
This is what Indians do
I already have a job in IT. I just meant furthering my study/skills
t. whiteboi
No goyim it's just a coincidence the only way to be a real man is to make your masters the most money, now be a good boy and get to work instead of asking questions
Nothing wrong with gaming, just depends on the game
Don't play fotm grindshit designed to suck your time and soul like Overwatch, Monster Hunter, fighting games, etc
Instead I play things that help my mind like Zachtronics and puzzle games
Vidya, fitness, watching YouTube, walking outside if it's nice weather
>noooo get real hobbies what will the wiminz think
Not my problem
My full enjoyment of my free time > some hole's opinion of how exciting/unexciting my life must be
You can tell this twitterBlack person thinks this is some ground breaking revelation
Just going to skip the usual ones that fit into most people's lives as fuction of being an adult.
Riichi Mahjong
Origami
Archery
Occasionally hunting/fishing but it's more of an ordeal to put together than a D&D game.
>Look at me!
thats literally all of social media
Wageslaving modern culture discourages having hobbies that’s why most people prefer to go get wasted or watching Netflix, everyone it’s just too tired to do anything other after work and study.
People have literally never had more free time than the present day.
Not true at all, before the industrial revolution, people had at least 3-4 months to themselves minimum, like literally just look it up
im not autistic enough to have hobbies
