. . . And?

Veeky Forums usually makes you a subhuman.

to the pure, all things are pure. to the base, all things are base.

Veeky Forums actually makes people smarter

people come here and say stupid shit, smarter people tell them they just said stupid shit, they get an awakening that they might not have gotten elsewhere

think about it

base?

Veeky Forums has actually done a lot for me. Veeky Forums got me into working out, Veeky Forums encouraged me to do a STEM degree and now I got into professional school, and Veeky Forums got me reading actually important novels and had really good recommendations. It's a weird feeling.

no. people come here and say stupid shit. dumber people tell them they just said stupid shit. then they just reverberate shit from each other until what theyre saying cant get any dumber

Not really m8. Most boards have a consensus culture, doesn't mean their correcting you in any way improves you. /pol/ for example will correct you and post a bunch of IQ infographics

I have to admit

Veeky Forums taught a massiv amount of fitness stuff.

It gave me an awesome list of books and mental health stuff.

Helped me with stuff like the right cologne (getting to hear a "you smell so good ~

Flashback to 2009-2013 era, you'd just get an awakening from everyone calling you a faggot in your own thread.

Most of the niche boards will improve you in some way. The only problem is daily browsing will turn you into a jaded and depressed asshole.

Depends on which route you take, you can use the info from each board to better yourself

Or you can go the /r9k/ route

whats wrong with being a jaded and depressed asshole?

redpill me on the cologne and shaving bit please

I dunno, for me Veeky Forums just made lifting into a meme, which is the only way I can enjoy it after 4chin and leddit ruined me.

...

Read some Shakespeare brainlet

This. Veeky Forums is all about finding the gem in a huge pile of shit.

When did you realize that the skill of sifting through Veeky Forums to find actual advice is the most valuable thing to have?

The way Veeky Forums operates, the 'authority factor' doesnt exist. This factor is seen in reddit's karma system, and in real life can range from status to good looks. Majority of people cannot think for themselves, so they need this authority factor as a crutch to make decisions in their life. These people are so easily manipulated, because they appeal to hivemind activity, and more importantly they are blind to their own conscience.

When you can effectively differ good advice from bad, jew slayer from goy, millionaire from pajeet purely on text alone, you can apply this skill to every aspect of life, and ultimately you realize how important listening to your own conscience really is

Redditors and normal fags will never understand.

>all that r*eddit spacing
What did you learn from r/cuckolding?

I owe almost all my successes in life to Veeky Forums
There's a lot of fantastic advice if you're willing to read

>Dat projection

Have been browsing Veeky Forums for years but never really came to Veeky Forums. Started getting fat and shitty and decided to browse Veeky Forums and it's most of the reason I got into lifting as a hobby now and not just as "a way to get skinny".

Thank you Veeky Forums

I don't understand how it's difficult if i'm honest.
Take /b/ (cause everyone should've started there when they first came here), every advice thread follows the same basic patterns
>op complains about something, eg gf cheating on him
>90% of thread tells him to dump that ho, some providing anecdotes of how she'll do it again
>10% tell him to work on the relationship and take her back if she's really sorry
>op listens to the 10%
>6 months later
>op is back complaining about he walked in on his fiance giving his best mate a blowjob
Every time

Or another example
>op has crush on girl but is scared to do anything
>90% of thread is people telling him to tell her
>10% say he needs to be careful about scaring her away
>op listens to the 10%

The advice is always there, so plain, clear and blunt. But the op's always too stupid to listen to it.

>Wear cologne so you don't smell like shit
>Use a real safety razor instead of throw away

Fuck, how much clearer can it get?

A few years ago (shit it's been ages now), Veeky Forums was pretty directly responsible for me losing my virginity
I can't imagine how I would've got through my teens and early 20s without Veeky Forums

The physical gains from Veeky Forums and the mental gains from Veeky Forums Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums are outweighed by all the disgraceful shit I lurk on the nsfw boards and all the /pol/ and /v/ autism, so I'm unsure how to feel about this.

Veeky Forums turned me from fat piece of shit to a Chad, giving me confidence, and allowing me to fuck and date my oneitis.
Veeky Forums taught be to not be retarded with my finances
/pol/ teaches you how not to be a degenerate in a really fucked up manner.

>helped me with stuff like the right cologne
>the right cologne

i wanted to know his specifics on how to properly pick cologne, jackass

>cause everyone should've started there when they first came here
ugh

>cologne
Giorgio Armani: Acqua di Gio (NOT the gioia)
costs a lot but oooh boy that stuff kicks in and every girl loved it
try it in a perfumerie, there are often test samples
It is an older perfume, but still great. Most normies don't even know it.I would say because of the price.

Issey Miyake: L'eau D'issey
Might be worth a try since it is not so heavy and have a flowery nice scent.
Try it out if possible and ask females.

It is true. The reason we have so much reddit-shit is that people stopped lurking /b/ first for a few months before posting.

But to be fair, /b/ became so fast in the last 2 years, that it is pretty much unusable now

> safety razor shaving
razor: 20-30€
blades: 10-50 CENTS per piece, depends on which brand and in which quantity, can be used 3-5 times (compared to 3-5€ per cardridge)
shaving cream: 4-6€ last at least half a year
brush: 5-20€
(or use shaving cream in a can)

There is a reason why shaving companys are got rid of safety razors fast.
They can make a shit ton money with cardridges.
1 sharp blade shaves cleaner then 3 or 5.

Buy a pack with a bunch of test samples to find a good one.
Dorco, Feather, Merkur are a good start.
Maybe you know someone with a safety razor from which you can borrow it.

By giving a clear answer.
You can't expect that everyone is going to trial and error everything in life.
Some thing are better told to try.

I meant shaving soap
not shaving creme

Thank you, man. I appreciate the info.

Veeky Forums is a cryptocurrency autism containment board. Never go there, it'll blow up in your face eventually

If you cut yourself a lot clean afterwards with an Alum block.

Hit up google for more information.

and YES you can safe your scrotch and balls perfectly fine with a safety razor.

it is and has always been a containment board that one should distance themselves from asap except for cheap trolling giggles or certain kinds of porn. but generally, it used to teach you a thing or two about lurking moar yeah

shoutout to Merkur. bought one a decade ago, haven't looked back ever since.

>come to Veeky Forums
>get ripped and learn truths about nutrition thanks to Veeky Forums
>learn interesting shit thanks to niche boards
>use /g/ for programming discussion, get legitimately insightful replies more often than you'd expect
>get incredibly degenerate fetishes from /d/ and /aco/
>get normalized to racist and sexist shitposting due to /pol/

It's a mixed bag. Overall fairly positive though.

ignoring shit like this

once every week, there are usefull threads with good information.
I got a nice list of Veeky Forums books, enterpreneur ideas / information, storys and background information.
But yes, in the last 2-3 month it got really bad with the crypto threads (crypto gave me also some nice profits)
Good thing I was into this before I went to Veeky Forums

Lurk through the first pages from time to time und ignore the shit.

>Veeky Forums is helpful
>Veeky Forums is helpful
> Veeky Forums is slightly helpful (skin care)
and the only price i paid was liking traps for 2 months

exactly this

first bought a edwin jager
after some piece broke I contacted the support and got a new headpice for free + 5 blades and shaving creme / after shave sample.
Awesome customer service

Now I have a merkur with an open comb.
I love it.
The problem of most people her is, that they don't apply what they read here.
Leave the desk and get shit done.
I'm back here lurking for gems 1-2 hours everyday after going out and put everything into practice.

/pol/ and /r9k/ serve as a cautionary glimpse of what might be if i go too far
Veeky Forums taught me to pick up weights and grils
Veeky Forums taught me to read real literature instead of shit tier YA novels
Veeky Forums taught me not to believe random strangers on the internet when it comes to finance
/k/ taught me how to make a bomb out of a double A battery, salt, and tinfoil
Veeky Forums taught me how to dress, also serves as a cautionary tale regarding nonconformity for nonconformity's sake
/a/ taught me that we shouldn't have stopped at 2 atom bombs
/b/ taught me that children should be seen and not heard
/s4s/ taught me that some people are too good for this world
Veeky Forums taught me how magnets work
/g/ taught me to buy a memechanical keyboard
/mu/ also served as a cautionary tale against nonconformity for nonconformity's sake
/adv/ taught me multiple painless ways to commit suicide
Veeky Forums taught me how to make grilled cheese sandwiches

i feel like my quality of life has genuinely improved as a result of Veeky Forums

had a jager, was cool but yeah it broke fairly soon. whereas I'm half-convinced this merkur will survive me, and not for lack of trying to grow old myself lol

this brought actual tears to my eyes

> when you realize that /g/ unironically has better discussion than hacker news

the 'authority factor' is real outside of the 4chinz

maybe this ride is not so bad

I told the whole thing over like ten posts a few years back, but to sum

Should I actually bother continuing? I just realised that you probably just wanted to know how Veeky Forums is responsible? Well, I've probably made that clear by now...

>/tv/ taught me that everyone who thinks differently to me is a pleb or a shill

this is true

2nd that

It hurts to see how every normie is an low life basic human beeing.
Takes out the fun of a lot of things.
On the other side, I prefer to hang out with great people now, make connections and achieve something in life.

Veeky Forums actually taught me quite a bit and helped me achieve ottermode.

i also genuinely think this is the funniest board on this website hands down.

some of the stories ive read on here are fucking hilarious

This. Veeky Forums does have the best memes.

Keep going pls

Yeah, keep writing

This makes me sad.

Maybe, but it had a lot of funny threads like the one where some user found a grenade in his garden or the one where someone stole a skull from the french catacombs. I don't regret all the time I spend there years ago

Sure
>continue to drink, party seems to have died down a bit weirdly
>friend says we should all go to [other friend]'s
>I'm drunk and down, why not?

I'll try and write faster

go on..

someone help, I'm getting a connection error when I try to continue the story for some reason?

copy it in a txt-file. Try again but less lines per post until it works

aye, i'll just try shorter posts

I just want to take a brief break to explain that this girl was legitimately insanely hot. I'd post a picture if I wasn't paranoid.
She looked kinda similar to AJ Applegate, larger boobs, smaller ass

yeah, I do that... alright, I'll waffle less cause you guys probably don't care about the details
I just wanted to get across the awkwardness and excitement rushing through

/b/ was neutral for me. /r9k/ and /mlp/ (i know) had me descending into autistic depression and sad cunt shit. /soc/ rated me a 3.5/10 and Veeky Forums helped me rebuild.

This website is a fucking ride.

GET TO THE FUCKING POINT JFC

Please teach me some basic /k/ stuff for someone in a country where weapons aren't allowed. That bomb thing sounds useful. I want minor weapons and devices I can use either as self defence or to clear an obstacle (for example. If I need to break something apart with an explosion)

last part to follow

We had sex... does that help?

All of you are pathetic neckbeards for adding a rose tint to all of this.

Veeky Forums sucked, sucks and will always suck. Every board is a containment board. The chan itself is containing your autistic selves from the real world.

This ride never ends. You'll never leave. You'll always be shit. Don't delude yourself, faggots.

>met a gym buddy on a "find a gym buddy at your college" thread on Veeky Forums
>ended up fucking

i wouldn't have believed this if someone else posted it, but this site does some weird shit to people.

Both of these happen because user. A lot of times it's funny and produces OC which is cool too.

>>my dick isn't working
>>like, just imagine that for a second
>>you're entire teenage years, nothing on your mind but losing your virginity
>>if you're lucky, you lose it to someone that doesn't repulse you
Fuck, I know this feeling. Happened to me twice before I could fuck for the first time

...

the bigger problem will be the ammuntion.
or just build yourself a freaking rail gun, NIIIIICE

>getting shitfaced all damn night + first time sex anxiety
>dick not working
mind thoroughly blown

london or homo?

>ask her to guide it in

>I was too drunk to cum

>ten minutes later she's on top
I'm actually gonna avoid all the nasty details cause some things probably aren't meant to be shared...
Yeah, so that was my first time. I exchanged two texts with her after and then never talked to her again. She didn't stay over. She went back to see her friend. I said she was a friend of a friend... that was kinda true... she already knew most of my friends at the party. But her best friend who invited her was an acquaintance at best really. My friends didn't even figure out I fucked her for months weirdly
And I'm not sure if her best friend ever found out.

I think I saw her on the street for the first time in years the other week. I really hope it wasn't her though cause my acne had flared up a bit and I was right in the middle of explaining the galactic federation to a friend...
So that's my wild ride. Sorry for attention whoring

[spoiler]she's been dating some dude for like 3 years now and i see it all the time on instagram.

i'm a useless piece of shit from /tv/ if you can't tell.

damn. actually met a n-no homo fwb off a gym thread, hoped I wasn't the only one lol

>Had bad sex when I lost my v card

>I really hope it wasn't her though cause my acne had flared up a bit and I was right in the middle of explaining the galactic federation to a friend...

This is all you needed to write. Now Veeky Forums taught you a second useful thing.

please grant me knowledge

god im sorry, i only wrote that story one other time a few months after it first happened (and it was considerably longer that time)
like i said, i wanted to get all the anxiety and the rollercoaster of an emotional ride that was going on across

studying electronical engineering, so railgun comes up from time to time.

never build one myself, sorry
Take any youtube video and just build it.

the only hint I can give when building a rail gun.
WATCH OUR FOR POLARITY or you can shoot it right into your face/body.

have fun and good night :)

This user speaks the truth, but far too few anons apply this skill usefully.

...

It's how I found out about Vanguard and compound interest and started my portfolio, because my school taught me nothing about investing and finances.

>mate
Fuck off.

you wasted a short but noticeable part of my life that I will never get back.

and that's coming from someone who spends two hours a day on /vp/

This is true

There is usually just one prevailing set of opinions that exists on each subreddit. Even for shit like sports, if you talk down on a player that the hive mind likes or something you'll get buried.

>can be used 3-5 times
I've used the same blade for months before.

Without cream/soap. Only hot water. Obviously this depends on your skin, but if I tried that with a cartridge razor I'd likely kill myself. Soap is also comfy as fuck, but I was poor and it turned into a habit.

I shave either everyday or every other day.
