So, will he only be mildly traumatized, or will someone bring out the shitting dick nipples?

>>4228122
I already browse 4chan, bro.

If only I weren't at work. I'd pour my VERY NO folder on you.

In the grim darkness of the 4chan forum called /tg/

There is only heartlessness.

I've been depressed all day because I got rejected by a girl I like.

I've been feeling concern for Touhoufag all day.

What is this heart you speak of?

>>4228149
That sucks bro. At least we can keep each other company in the pit that is rejection.

I helped people on /r/ the other day.

>>4228216
Awesome. Helping people is always a good thing to do.

>>4228171
Why would you do that?

/tg/ is among the better boards on 4chan. Here, we gather together and tell each other tales of bravery, cunning, and mystery. After all, in all of those D&D campaigns, 40k battles, or other adventures, we see the cost of heroism. We see heroes falling, we see the meek rise up together to accomplish some united goal to protect something dear to them. We feel the pain of treachery and loss. Many fa/tg/uys in real life may feel that they have little to offer the world or other people, but fa/tg/uys possess the spirits of champions! Each and every one of them has the potential to become so much more...
You only need to believe in yourselves.

I'm happy.=)

>>4228171
Is he really in deep shit?

>>4228278
>>4228283
>>4228124
>>4228252

You are some fuckin stand-up gentlemen, and I wish more of /tg/ was like you.
-salute-

Two more days before more MS Paint Adventures. Can not wait at all.

>>4228112

Thinking back, I never had anything like a teddy bear. Hmm.

I've been wondering about Baron, Evilstan, etc. and was one of the people to say to not an hero in that thread he made earlier this week.

>>4228304
Get one. I promise it'll listen to every word you have to say, and not complain one bit. It'll love you until the day it falls to pieces. Not the day it loses an eye, or it's nose. Until it's fine grounded powder, it will still care for you.

We're all awesome.

>>4228124
You have no idea how much I needed to hear/read something like that right now. Thank you.

>>4228299
Thank you.
>>4228278 here, I can only hope that more fa/tg/uys try to live their lives with more confidence or at least with a little more daring. But it is still a good thing to take a moment and reflect upon your past deeds and your current self and compare it with how you want your legend to be told. After all, everyone has a story.

>>4228321
I think my parents still have mine. According to them it was bought for me one my birthday and I ignored it from about age three onwards.

I never gave had a teddy bear that I gave a shit about. I had a stuffed dog named Nicholas instead. I wonder where it is.

Coincidentally, my little sister recently got a real dog named Nick.

>>4228310
I'm worried for him as well. He was a nice guy.

And of course from time to time I worry about Earthflame. Hopefully he's not an heroing.

>>4228376
My eyes tear at the simple beauty of the fact.

>>4228149

When I was in 7th grade, I asked a girl out. I was the shiest kid in school, and she was one of the most beautiful and book smart girls I'd ever known.

She rejected me on the basis that she wanted to focus on her school career. We were about 14.

I have never felt so crushed in all my life.

>>4228449
I occasionally find myself concerned for Edward. But then he does something stupid, like posts.

>>4228463
>>When I was in 7th grade, I asked a girl out.
>>We were about 14.
If you two were stupid enough to be in the seventh grade at age fourteen, yeah, she was probably right.

>>4228464
Can't say I've ever though of Edward. Some concern for Touhoufag though, if it really is him.

>>4228149
Man up. I got rejected by 4 girls. On the same day.
And came home to find my gold fish was dead.
Then I found out we were out of orange juice.

I still don't know why, but I have a hobo five bucks when he asked for fifty cents.

I only had 7 bux at the time. Ah well.

(Also, buying, and uploading the PHB2 to share with /tg/, and that's gotten me into deep shit and a lot of grief.)

>>4228492
oh my fuck. you're out of orange juice?!

you poor soul.

>>4228492
>And came home to find my gold fish was dead.Then I found out we were out of orange juice.
>goldfish dead
>out of OJ

Dude, that is one thirsty goldfish

>>4228507
I've done similar things. Went to hastings to buy some books one day near Christmas, there was a bellringer. I gave him a twenty.

Oh, and I lost a dollar a day working as a cart pusher at Wal-Mart, at least, because I'd buy bottled water for the hobos that sat on the corner near the entrance with the "Will work for food" sign and a toolbelt slung over it.

I live in New Mexico, and worked there in the summer. 110 in the shade was not uncommon.

>>4228449
What the fuck is wrong with Touhoufag?

>>4228492
See, here, four girls, one day.
There's your problem, manslut. People who get upset over one rejection are upset because it's someone they care about, not because the town bicycle was booked.
Show some compassion.

i live on fucking OJ.

shit sucks, man.

>>4228550
WotC is pissed at him for uploading the PHB2.

I have no heart to give you. I gave it all to Kyonko.

>>4228551
I was upset over the orange juice.

>>4228507
>>4228526
I've had a guy come up to me needing gas. I only had a 10, so I gave it to him. He, in turn, referred me to the local union!


I'm also trying to get over my racist streak, though sometimes I think I'm just getting closer to acting like the guy in O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge." About midnight in the middle of fucking nowhere parking lot, a black dude comes up to me and asks where I'm headed. We're going in the same direction, so I give him a ride, we share cigarettes, stories, and I drop him off.

>>4228584
I sympathize. Rena has taken mine home with her.

>>4228124
Every time I see that, I notice (even more than the words) that it's done in Earthbound style and hear the little text-scroll blips while reading.

And when I finish, it segues directly into music...

>>4228574
Can't someone explain to them that we really wanted it?

>>4228613
That explains the sucking chest wound.

>>4228574
How do they even know it was him? He didn't do something stupid like upload a watermarked version did he?

>>4228146

Someone post heartwarming furry artwork to fight back the heartlessness.

>>4228622
WotC would laugh till they were blue in the face at that.

>>4228634
Some sort of IP trace shit.

>>4228321

I don't know. That seems inherently...wrong, somehow.

Sweet God-Emperor, forgive
Your servant his sins, and
remember I am just a man.

Who wouldn't want to hug these?dawwwwwwwww!

>>4228133
HAHAHA
Fucking win.

I have a teddy bear, and you know, it's true.

When I'm lonely, I pick him up. He's a panda, of an older design that has legs that flop back and forth so he can be "sat." His arms stick forward just a bit, and if you hug him, he'll hug you back. Sort of.

When I'm lonely at night...when I can't sleep...when all I want to do is have someone to hold...I pick him up, and hold him close.

I drift off to sleep within five minutes. Never fails.

He's been with me all 18 years of my life-there are pictures of him with me lying next to him, smaller than he was, when I was a baby. He's somewhat rough on the outside from the time that's passed, one of his plastic eyes is scuffed, and his nose has lost much of the fuzz that once layered it.

I've had other plushies, for a little while. An orange tabby kitten I lost at church, back when I was perhaps six. A Nala plush, before that-I don't recall what happened to her. For a while, a polar bear I won at a fair with my father when I was visiting after his and Mom's divorce.

But after I've lost all the others...I've invariably come back to my panda, my nameless panda, with the black faded to purple on his back, with the tiny amount of mud remaining in his left ear, with the fluff all mussed on his nose from all the times I've used it to pull him closer.

He's in my lap as I type, preparing to go to bed.

He is my bear. It is all he needs to be.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMWi7CLoZ2Q

I seed generously on my torrents.

Does that count as human?

>>4229125
It will do.

But...find some friends you can go see. And get a teddy bear or find your old one.

4chan...well, truly we are the scum of the internet. But /tg/ floats to the top.

>>4228492
Goddamn, I've had a day like that. I feel your pain, man.
Right now I'm reeling from having my girlfriend of 3 years leave me for a poet.

>>4229204
Following on the theme, and trying to avoid making this a bawwww thread.

I only had one serious girlfriend. Had other, shorter, relationships of assorted types, but only one girl I've been with I loved; only one to whom I said so.

I was cold. She grew distant. She got other people, I got other people. She decided that I am not worth being around as an acquaintance; stopped returning messages, after years. Walking down a hallway and not recognizing each other.

She was a person, she became a memory, frozen in time, slowly fading away. One of my best memories, even if bittersweet. I'm solemnly happy.

>>4229080
Fuck I wish I wasn't allergic to cats.

its good to read these stories, last job interview i went on one of the questions was "what moral decision have you made in the past that helped shape you?"

i honest to god didnt have an answer for him, i havnt done anything morally good / bad of note. Sure i pay my taxes and throw bums a few bucks when i can, but other than that not much.

I dont take advantage of others but thats hardly nobility. I snicker when someone makes a fool of themselves, but that doesn't make me a bad guy.

how the hell do i answer that question?

>>4229250
You answer those questions by telling an epiphany, an anecdote. It doesn't need to be serious; it better not be too dramatic. You tell the story of how you discovering, when making a decision, part of what you are, some part of you that you are proud of.

Similar questions would include asking for one of your personal heroes (pick someone unusual, and be able to explain why), and whether you are a leader or a follower (both, as necessary).

>>4228613
>>4228584
I hear you, brother fa/tg/uys.

>>4229074
I'm a 23-year old guy, and I still have the stuffed bunny I've had since I was a baby (my first toy, if the 'rents are to be believed). He's grey, but he used to be white; doesn't stink or anything, mind you, but I spray disinfectant on him every day just to be sure.

Hah, I've just realized I take better care of Velveteen than I do of myself. Oh well.

I was at a gig about 7 years ago, standing just behind the crowd, because there was some pretty stupid mosh-pitting going on.

I could see a young girl with an SLR standing right in front of the stage, getting photographs of the band. Since it was a university and she looked about 18 I assumed she was doing it for the uni paper or something.

Anyway there was this massive faggot there, t-shirt 15 sizes too big, Goff make-up, nailvarnish and so many piercings he looked like he'd fallen face first into a tackle box. He kept running to the back of the room then running into the crowd, clearly being a total dick.

One time he hits the crowd so hard there's a domino effect and the girl faceplants into the stage.

The next time he ran past me I fucking backhanded him and he went straight down.

The one and only time I've ever done anything close to whiteknighting, and also the only time I've ever hit anyone.

Course I got thrown out for it but it was worth it.

What the fuck? Are you an Aries?
My girlfriend of three years left me yesterday for someone else as well.

>>4229278
Whoops, I'm retarded. Quoting No.4229204

>>4229277
BROFIST, man.

I'm generally a good person. No shit. 4chan hasn't taken my soul, I realize at the very least, it's just a website. But every now and then, I like jumping into threads like these.

Here's a comic for you, /tg/, and it's slightly /tg/ related, too.

Really hope I don't derail the thread with this, either.

Possibly human, but only remotely me thinks.

So, I was coming home from my night-shift from mortuary, the usual rundown with piss and filth covered pavement in this pitiful excuse of an city, scum of the earth spread across the street, ready to fucking shiv you when you are not looking.

Just half-way through, I have to cross this bridge then I notice this slut, trying to commit suicide by jumping from there, frustrated as ever (Since, it's fucking likely that, I'd have to open er' up and I had vacation coming, so fuck no)

''Oi, Bitch! Do you really fucking think that you'd die from that? If you are going to kill yourself, do it fucking right nothing something like drowning, where I would be pumping the water out of your sorry corpse for rest of my miserable day!'' I said.


She just cried and hanged on the support pillars of the bridge.

''You fucking heard me you skank, If you fucking think that death will be a realease, I will come over you grave and fucking get piss drunk on it. That is how much I fucking respect miserable fucks like you! Just get the fucking down there and get a fucking job''

As if by magic, the girl in question about in her 20's just climbed down and ran down. Nowhere to be seen, at least she was not dead.

How do I know this? She did not end up as my ''patient''.

>>4229278
Nah, I'm a Taurus. My girlfriend was five days older than me.

>>4229339

Good as it is, don't dump the hotel boichi.

It's good but, please don't derail.

>>4229339
Fuck yes Hotel. Manly tears will be shed.

Hearth maybe. Human? Too cliché for /tg/.

>>4229343
Weird. I wouldnt normally ask the sign, but it seems like everyone broke up yesterday, it's freakin' me out maaaaan.

>>4229346
>>4229347

FUCK. I won't continue, then. I should have partly figured that most of /tg/ will have read this. At least the few images I've posted has sauce.

I don't know the name of this one, but does /tg/ want this one? Not that long, either.

>>4229265
my brother told me much the same thing, but i cant for the life of me remember anything like that.

There's been no epiphany, no shining moment, no coming of age story that i can recall with clarity.

Born, went to school, was bad at it, play'd vija games, were good at those, went to a psychiatrist for something i cant remember when i was about 10, got better at school immediately afterward, still played vija games, went on vacations, hung out with freinds, fix'd stuff (imma computer guy) fixed alot more stuff, got pay'd ok and blew it all on vija games.

Went to college, got degree, played vija games, got computer certs, more games, got hired and layed off a few times, more games, now im studying for more certs, and gaming.

Theres nothing there! i've lived the sheltered life of a suburban white guy, i've minded my own business and only work for free for family. Theres nothing im ashamed of or proud of.

I gotta get out more...

I revel in suffering of others, I can't help but smile and laugh.

For, I for one had a best laugh of my life when, when I looked how my own brother slowly withered away, brain tumor getting the best of him.

And now to the money stash of his..

>>4229357
Well, this was a couple of weeks in coming. I'm both relieved and miserable. I called her up Sunday night and she told me she was leaving me for some guy she met in college. The main problems now are me dealing with a bunch of issues the breakup brought up (we didn't have sex, partially because of her huge amounts of apprehension and partially because I was abused as a kid) so I have that mess to sort through, and then I don't respect the majority of women I know, all of them are either conceited, whores, or both.

If you're asking about signs, it may interest you that Pluto is in Capricorn at the moment. Supposed to be massive change in society as a whole. Last time it happened the US was founded. "Structures of society torn down and built again" sort of thing.

I can't say if, I have done good or bad things. For, I treat the as relatives.

>>4229363
You should talk to your friends more. They should be able to help you think of something.

>>4229344
Is this on /rs/?

>>4229396
yea your probably right, i'll take to em about it then go to sleep, thanks

>>4229382
> I don't respect the majority of women I know

See, that is a problem. You are entitled to your opinions and decisions; so are others. People should be free to do as they well please as much as all participants consent.

Not that I don't have a low opinion of people in general. But that doesn't mean you can't respect people on some level, and interact with them. I'm not saying to lower your standards to get into a relationship; I am saying to lower your standards of who you are willing to talk to. Friends from surprising origins. Life gets much more interesting (been there, done that).

>>4229357
Aries here by the way. On the opposite end of your spectrum. I've gotten closer to my GF than ever before.

>>4229409
Yeah it is. There's another short manga by the same guy that's just as awsome but I forgot what it was called. Something about a female warrior....

But, I am emotionally devoid.

Everything is grey to me, steel grey.

>>4229414
Oh, I'm more than willing to talk to them, I'm just not going to go out with them on the grounds that I don't respect them enough. I'm good friends with most of them, and respect them in other areas. Just not when it comes to sex and relationships.

>>4229415
You lucky bastard, take care of her. =P
I went on antidepresants since yesterday, but I'm going to stop derailing the thread now. G'luck with your relationships and whatnot, fellow fa/tg/uys.

>>4229420
Interested in this.

>>4229363
Not that there is anything wrong with minding your own business, but looking outwards is always good.

Ethical decisions, maybe? Your moral compass is shaped up to and around college years. Maybe some analogy you made as a kid, and discovered how something worked. A dream you had that helped you understand yourself.

You must have had good memories; try to remember those, and why they were good, how you helped shape them.

>>4229421
That's bull and you know it. There has to be something that makes you happy.

I work at a hotel, doing night audit. A guy comes in at about 2 AM. Huge bags under his eyes, and he just has this... I dunno, pathetic look on his face. Not the forced type, you get used to that after a while. Can't be older than 23, probably younger. He walks up to the counter and asks in a whisper "Can I have a room please?"

No prob. He asks if he can pay cash, and my worry bells start ringing -- no drugs policy. I can deal. I just need to ask the "corperate questions" and I can usually get the gist. The entire time he's just... not there, zoned out elsewhere. I finally ask him what brings him to town. "Passing through." "Business, or..." Tears well for a moment and he coughs. "Mom's funeral."

I give him one of our better rooms for $35, no problem. He looks like he's going to cry at that, but we go our separate ways. He checks out about a half an hour before the end of my shift. When I come out, he's sitting next to his car just sobbing. Turns out he had a flat, no spare, and couldn't afford to call a tow. I told him that I'd be right back, drove fifteen minutes to the shop and got two new tires for him since it was on the driver's side. Came back, let him pay me a whopping $50 for a pair of "retreads" and helped him put them on. As we said our goodbyes, I slipped the fifty note into his jacket and went home.

Yeah, it's possible that he might have played me, but you know what? I slept real good that day. Best sleep I'd had in a long, long time.

Ice cream.

Pineapples with coconut ice cream.

Always makes me happy.

>>4229438
I intend to. We talked about our marriage tonight.

And you're not derailing in my opinion. This thread is dedicated to proving we're not heartless bastards.

>>4229439
Ah it was called Diadem.

>>4229452
The world needs more people like you.

>>4229452
You do us all proud, elegan/tg/entleman.

Brace for tears

>>4229456

There isn't much to say really.

My only true love, got killed in car accident five years ago. Right in front of me. I just stood there, before I ran to her, held her head against me. She just smiled and closed her eyes.

I was filled with grief and hate, I just sat there on my knees trying to grasp the little sanity that I had left. I just marched foward to the sorry excuse of a man, the fool was blind drunk and scared shitless, by the sight of 6''5 Foot man, arms drenched in blood approaching him.

I just laughed, I just laughed when I bashed his head against the pavement, I mauled his face with my hands. I lost it that day, I was changed. Life as I knew it, was gone. I turned into a cold, uncaring husk of my former self.

>>4229490

>>4229491

god i hope that isn't true

>>4229449

Everything feels like work. I do not hate, or love what I do, regardless what it is. I cannot show my feelings to others or respond to others.

More than often, I just sit near the beach watching at stars, as if by instinct but I still can't feel anything.

>>4229501
Ditto.

GOOD END

>>4229517
Is.... Is there a bad end?

>>4229501

So do I, Anon.

>>4229535

Rocks fall,

Everyone dies.

>>4229535
No, just looks like it if you don't have the last image. Usually I wait a little while to post it, since the person who uploaded it when I saved it all did that. Great stuff. I don't even know the original source.

>>4229517
>GOOD END
OH THANK GOD. My heart musta sank to my heels at the panel before this one.

>>4229535
MONSTER.

>>4229504
>>4229501

Even to this day, I see nightmares about the event. Waking up in cold sweat during the night. The event was burned into my consciousness and that is the only thing that scares me. I just cannot be what I formerly was, I have no friends or relatives alive to turn towards to.

I feel so alone.

>>4229452
Er, front driver's side, even. I was pretty sure it was front wheel drive, so smarter to get them both changed at once and leave the other good one as a spare just in case.

When I was a little kid, I used to go over to a nursing home. It was across the street from a hospital, so they'd put people who'd been in car wrecks and stuff with brain damage there. You know, the ones who couldn't walk or really move any more?

The elderly folks there loved me. I think they were just happy to have somebody YOUNG nearby. They taught me how to play chess, dominos, cribbage... When I'd be playing somebody they'd all just hang around and cheer me on, give me advice and stuff.

But I also made it a point to pay attention to the people who were bedridden. I'd go into their rooms and just talk with them for a few minutes, even if they couldn't respond. If it was a nice day out, I'd open the blinds a little for them so they could get some sun. I remember one guy had been in a motorcycle accident. About the third time there, I noticed that his index finger was moving a bit. I cheered him on, and always checked on him whenever I went there. As time went on he was able to move it more and more.

About the most heart-wrenching thing that I've ever gone through was telling all those people when my family was moving. Like I said, I was young, so it was so surreal. They were always so happy to see me, but they said that it was good that I was moving, because kids like me shouldn't spend all their time in a place like that. They were so sad, and I could see it, but they were also so supportive. It took me years to understand, but it doesn't make me feel better when I think back to it.

>>4229551
What?!?

>>4229557
God, you sound like a saintly being. I wish I was as selfless as you. I've always been afraid of other people.

>>4229455
We don't need to prove that though, 4chan is just a website, as you said yourself. Most of the people who post "chaotic stupid" replies are just trolling.

>>4229553
Anon you are not alone. This may sound cheesy but the fact that people are here responding to your comments is proof you are not alone. We may not know eachother, but I am sure a few anon care about what you have said.

>>4229553
You are probably not going to get better just by reading posts on an internet forum. The orders of magnitude are just different, stories from strangers, and a personal trauma.

But life is made of stories. You are still alive; you are still part of stories. And that you can still make things out of yours is something to be cheered.

>>4229577
He's right. It may just be an anonymous imageboard, but isn't the fact that people are responding proof enough that others in the world feel your pain? Those in the real world will support you too, if only you can find a way to tell them you need it. Stand up, my friend. You're not alone.

>>4229573
True enough. I'm guilty of it myself sometimes.
>>4229553
Get yourself a hug, man. You're a strong man to make it through this.

Posting random isolated images.

>>4229571
Hahaha! That's just it, I'm borderline agorophobic. I went to the nursing home because my mom forced me to get out of the house and make some friends, and the old folks seemed a lot nicer than the other kids. To this day, my friends still have to literally drag me out of the house just to go watch a movie at their place. Even my best friend, who carried me two miles to the hospital when I broke my leg, I can't just call him up and talk even. He has to seek me out when he wants to do something.

I just, you know, do what I can when I can. It's not often, but I try and make it count. I hate to see people suffer or be unhappy.

>>4229599
You have a very special friend, then.
It's surprising how few people would bother to seek each other out.

>>4229599
In the end, just doing what you can is all that matters. It's what makes you a good person.

Trust me, your agoraphobia is something you'll work out. A person like you is someone the world needs.

>>4228112
How is my humanity defined by being infantile?

I...I don't know where to start. Honestly. I'll just go with the reasons why I even visit /tg/.

Sure, it used to be because I was into D&D and such but there was a long period where I didn't play any of the games. Yet I still visited /tg/.
Other boards I visited didn't have the charm of /tg/. I made the mistake of posting a photograph of me on /co/ once, and I got insulted in a horrible way. /x/...well, I like horror but /x/ has its faults. There's no feeling in it. Doesn't help that /b/ visits /x/ every so often.

But /tg/...A couple of days ago I posted some simple game mechanics I put down for the upcoming Pen & Paper Mario project, and you guys actually gave me praise and showed interest. I haven't received honest praise like that since I was 13, and my art teacher scoffed at the drawings others used to like. I never did become an artist, mostly because of that. I went through 8 years of puberty feeling like unappreciated shit.
But a couple of days ago...I felt exited, enthousiastic. I actually had the urge to go on with making the game, even though I was tired and braindead. And that's why I love you, guys.

Who needs a chick when they can have bros like you?

>>4229600
Goddamnit, that comic makes me baw every time.

>>4229611
Hey, we have each other. It may not be much, since we can't see the faces or be sure of the names, but it's something. You're something. We're something. We can make it on that.

Archive this shit for the love of /tg/.

I've seen plenty in my life. Been there, done that, got the scars.

Knocked out a pedophile, (And made him neuter in the process), saved an elderly woman when she fell down on a mall escalator, took a knife in my for someone else.

That's about it. Rest of my life is generic 23 Level Human Commoner bullshit.

Fills me with endless hope for the world. I'd totally do that, too. Even knowing Minus is a demigod of Haruhi status, I still think that this comic is a beautiful representation of the human spirit.

Let out your manly tears, brother. This one's for you.

I was going to write a mean poem when I read that guy got dumped for a poet.

Then I didn't. I think I deserve a medal.

I have a lot of vidya related stuff.

>>4229595

It's not about that hug, you see or urge to feel sympathy.

I am different person now, now the soft caring man, what I once was. I see the world as a grim place to live on, not through the rose-tinted glasses. The feeling of loneliness is nothing compared to depression or anxiety, its that feeling that you are empty inside.

This thread could use some more heart softener. Have some baby red pandas and a video of an adorable fuzzy kitten.

STORY. NAO.

I've always had a stange view of life. I have a very grim view of life as meaningless, because to me it is. Think about it, how big is the universe? how often do people really affect the world, now think about affecting other worlds. Human life is quite insignificant. Life has no meaning for us.

That's a grim view, but for me it gives me a positive outlook. With this I can live life day by day without worry of conciquences, my life isn't important, so who cares if I don't relly do anything with it. Just enjoy your short time here. So long as you're happy.

There is virtualy no stress in my life, i've got a great girlfriend and great firends. Who cares how much of a shit hole the world has become? who cares if the planet is ending, so long as i've got my friends, family, love...hell talking to anon's and other people on the net i don't know. That interaction, it just makes the life, no matter how meaningless, worth living.

Obligatory spacebat.

>>4229654
Just at least try to leave it better than it was when you came in and that should be enough. Anymore and you're just asking for too much.

>>4228649
>Someone post heartwarming furry artwork to fight back the heartlessness.

Huh. Tricky one. How about this one?

Been down lately. Lost my job at a gaming company, which turned out to suck anyway, moved, got a job, held it for 11 months, got laid off 8 months ago. Since then I've mostly sat around in my room reading and playing video games.

Usually when I want to change my life I just move somewhere and start over. Perhaps I'll go ahead and blow half my remaining savings on that trip to France I was planning last fall. Never too late to make a change.

My mother was stopped by a black man just away from an ATM. He was haggard, in shitty clothes, with massive bags and wrinkles on his face. He asked if he could have money for medicine for his daughter.

My mother gave him the money. He asked where we lived so that he could repay us. She told him where we lived. He walked towards the drugstore.

We never saw or heard from him again, but I like to believe that, just maybe, he got that medicine. Actually no I don't. I realize he was a begging, liquored bum lying nigger son of a bitch who would've stolen from us if we left our doors unlocked and my mother was a stupid bitch for doing something like that.

The guy didn't even say what kind of issues she had, just 'disease'. I felt horrible that my mother was so naive.

>>4229677
What jobs are you working that you can afford to move? I'd love to move, I've never lived outside of the city I was born in, and never went out of state. But I work jobs that pay minimum wage and can't really save ever.

>>4229679
Look at the silver lining. Be thankful that your mother wasn't raped.

>>4229649

Well, story goes like this:

I was on my usual stroll around the neibourhood, I don't know anyone, since people move in and out rather fast. But still. I was just minding my own businesses, walking around in our local forest which has a park in there for children to play but something just striked odd to me when I heard sobbing.

There was this slob of a man, bald skinny fuck grobing a possibly girl young as 6, that perverted fuck didn't notice me thankfully but the girl did. I just showed her to keep quiet. So, then I quickly picked up the old rusty bar from fence which fell off and knocked the bastard out. I asked the kid if she was allright, but she wasn't even from around hell, she was from next town. I was just digusted by the sick fuck, so I just took the privilege to stomp his package with my steel plated boots, he just whined like a bitch. Blood fucking everywhere on his crotch.

I called the police, they picked the girl up and drove her back. I didn't get anything from the incident, since police agreed that that it was ''self-inflicted''.

Next morning, kids parents just came by and praised me. They thought that they lost their kid and she might end up dead. I just called them in, gave 'em cup o joe and send them away.

I was bit dazed from the experience.

>>4229607
Because I was always so freaking terrified in school, kids picked on me a lot. Got beat up a lot, too. One day he happened to see it and just snapped, went ballistic on the kids. From that day on, he pretty much protected me, just because "somebody has to." He never made a big deal out of it, he just hung around, took an interest in what I did, always gave me my space, and tried to help keep me calm when I freaked out.

For my 21st birthday, dragged me to his house, got me drunk as a skunk and handcuffed me to a chair. He'd hired three strippers for me, just because he knew that there probably wouldn't be a way for me to go to a strip club on my own. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have any friends, really. He got me into gaming because he thought I might like it, and even made me realize that watching sports on TV is okay. He's introduced me to all of my friends and always makes sure to tell them that if they hurt me he will make them pay ten times over. He's part of the reason why I do what I can for people these days, honestly.

>>4229697
This is for you, awesome sir. Any news on the pedo's eventual fate?

>>4229711

12 Years in prison, scheduled for castration but they noticed that someone did a hell of a job.

>>4229701
Your life is poetic. I say this as the guy who got left for a poet, but I mean it very respectfully.

>>4229720
Scheduled castration? Where do you live?

>>4229697
You, sir, do the work of the Emperor. Continue to do so.

>>4229668
Well im also a bit of a moralfag. Nice to everyone i meat ect ect.

I'm sure my lack of stress is what fules my retartedly vast tolerane, plus I've seen pain, lots of pain, either in my life or the ones close to me.

Fuck that, forget that. that's the stuff you don't want, why cause others pain like that? why hold onto that pain so dearly? Learn your lessons and then drop the experience. It is INSANLY hard for others to do, but i can get in a verbal, nearly physical fight then just crack a joke or go out of my way to relax and cheer up the opposing party only a few moments after said fight.

Life's good, and i do what i can to spread the cheer

>>4229685
Ouch. Being stuck in minimum wage with $200 savings was what got me sick of living where I was originally. I called around and had a friend that was willing to rent me a room, so I just packed up my belongings and moved to a new city.

All I can say is keep looking, keep saving, make a support network for yourself. You can make it. Even if you fail (I did the first time, badly - wrecked my car and had to move back home with my parents) it's worth striving for.

>>4229728

It was years ago, besides it was ''voluntary''. It could have been more years in prison if he didn't lose his manhood. But 12 years is more than enough.

T'was in Texas, ye 'olde Bible Belt.

>>4228133
fuck yeah

So not to disturb all the story sharingness, from the amount of moving around, minimum wages work and such that is being retold here, am i right in guessing a majority of you are Americans?

>>4229779
Probably. At this hour the rest of the world should be awake, but I, at least, am American.

>>4229779
Sadly. I'd like to live in another country for a while, but... yeah. Not happening.

>>4229791
>>4229806
Yea, Sweden over here, you have my minimum wage related sympathies.

>>4229823
Oh man, I love Sweden.

It's my favourite Muslim nation.

No you don't. The reason why the US is going down the drain is because in 1776 your forefathers said no to the kingdoms of europe. And guess what? They want it back. 2nd war for independence coming right up.

Sorry for this political interlude, but ensuring liberty for people of any nation or creed, hows that for a purpose in life?

>>4229849
>>4229839
>>4229861
And so dies the thread.

well, let's just say I get the joke, the grand joke of the universe, but it's not a nasty joke, not one made in poor taste, but one made in fun and care. All the horror and hate within the world, it mingles and mixes with the good we see every day and creates a mural in the universe, one so beautiful, that no mortal words could possibly communicate, that brings me to tears of joy every time I think about it in any detail. I don't keep particular track of all the "good deeds" I do. It never occurs to me that I should remember them, do good for the sake of good, ya know? I also don't keep track of all the bad that has been done to me, and trust me, plenty of that has happened throughout my life. I suffered endless peer abuse from kindergarten through high school, and it still feels years behind me. I've had former tormentors turn into good friends, simply because I refuse to hold grudges. That by the same token means i'm anything but naive, in fact, I find I'm VERY insightful. You kind of need it to turn enemies into friends. I'm just incurably optimistic. I embrace my humanity, faults and all, and I occasionally take the time to be quietly proud of myself.

still, that doesn't mean I'm some perfect enlightened young adult, wise beyond my years (though WIS definitely isn't my dump stat), I have some intimacy issues I still have to work out, along with coping with a natural inclination towards the romantic. Rampant insomnia doesn't help either. I have a bad habit of not finishing or following through with what I start and have certain issues concentrating. Either way, I'll get through it somehow, just like every other part of my life.

>>4229873
I guess my point is that no matter all the shit that life throws your way, the best way to deal with it is to roll with it and let it slide down your back, and if you see the darker side of the world laugh. It doesn't matter what or how bad, just laugh. And when someone sneers at you or asks you confusedly how you could laugh at something like this, just respond "What can I do but laugh? The pity party you're taking part in won't change a damned thing, but if you would only laugh, not at, but with, if you would only laugh, maybe we could get through this all with a smile on our faces. that would be the best thing that could happen." Never, never, NEVER compromise for yourself. Even if you stand before the ridicule of your peers, even if you stand before death himself, never EVER compromise.

>>4229864

Really? How is that? I may have given a "hey don't give up" feeling to someone across the world, isn't that from the heart? I thought this thead was about showing we're not heartless.

Don't project your dissatisfaction about what someone is saying just because they do not comply with what you think should be in a thread.

Thank you

>>4229864
Well, it was nice while it lasted, though, wasn't it?

>>4229879
>>4229876

let it slide, the thread isnt dead from 3 post. MORE RIGHTEOUS TALES!

>>4229894
You're right. It's only dead if we let it die. This thread has inspired me if nothing else. Let's let it continue.

>>4229875
another good story. doesn't involve me though.

When my dad was like six or seven, a 13 year old kid from his neighborhood tried picking on him. roughed him up a bit, just was a general prick. Somehow, his older sister, 9 at the time, got wind of it. She found the punk and beat him up. The kid whined to his dad and pretty soon, they were at my dad's house to complain about what just happened. My grandfather opened the door, he had already heard what happened, and basically responded: "So let me get this strait, your 13 year old boy got beaten up by my NINE year old daughter because he was picking on her SIX year old brother, did I get that right?" as the tale goes, the guy got really uncomfortable really fast, glared down at his kid, and walked right out. dollars to donuts that kid got a good ass-whup'n.

>>4229925
That made me smile.

>>4229925
I've been doing exactly that for the past 3 serious posts. Make it 4

>>4229906
Another good story about my dad is that he was a youth councilor in NY for a number of years before he got his post graduate in teaching. He was working at UMASS as an interpretor (ASL) in the 90s and one day a student walked up to him and thanked him for turning his life around. Before this student had him as a councilor for a bit before we had all moved into the city, and apparently he affected him so profoundly that he jumped off whatever shitty, go nowhere life path he was on and gave a shit about his life.

Yup, my father if my hero.

>>4229779
Min wage, yes... amount of moving around? Now I'm curious. About how often does one move in Europe?

More than often, thanks to my Multiple-Sclerosis I'm hospital bound time to time.

When I was hospitalized for a month, I had to watch all sorts of poor kids. One day, when I was trying to have a walk across the corridor this kid bumped into me. Small frail little girl, blind as a bat. Poor thing was lost and frightened, so I gave her a escort back to the nurses, but alas.

She demanded to be escorted by me and the poor thing kept calling me ''Beep'', thanks to the drip that I had to travel with which constantly bitched about how low it's battery was.

But fuck, when she held on me she could run like a jackrabbit on crack and she could babble too, but I could barely respond thanks to the dysarthria that I have. But the damn thing just kept dragging me around and to this day, I don't know why.

>>4230038
You were the only person who cared enough to help. Now that you're gone, things are back to how they were before. I wonder how much she misses you.

I'm a soldier in Iraq. My job, nominally, is to help the Iraqi people get back on their feet. Really, I spend most of my time dealing with the bureaucracy and petty politics of the Army. These people have no infrastructure, no government, no concept of a civil society, and we're busy fighting power struggles. We make little impacts here and there, installing a water pump that will fall apart in a few months due to lack of maintenance, handing out pencils to kids that get taken by bigger kids. But it feels like so little in the face of so many terrible things...

>>4230046

I visit her more than often, I have no idea why she likes my as if, he thinks me as big brother. She's the only on who isn't scared of my marred body of mine for obvious reasons.

>>4228133
HAHAHAHAHAH

>>4230050
Well, Be careful out there.

I have a heart and it beats.

I lost parts of me I never realised I had when I sold out my friends to gain political power, manipulated people for drugs,and profit and betrayed the guy I loved for a vacuous bitch who makes me look good socially and gives me a great network of people. She too will be traded in when someone better comes along.

If I keep this up, I'm going to be king.
Nothing seems sacred or profane anymore.
I'm fast becoming hollow, becoming more like a god.

OP's pic sucks. I never felt love from or for an inanimate object. Other people CAN store those feelings, yes, even for a little while.

>>4230050
You're a good man. Good luck out there, and stay safe.

>>4230050
>These people have no infrastructure, no government, no concept of a civil society, and we're busy fighting power struggles.

I don't actually think you're in Iraq. If you'd said Afghanistan, I'd have believed you. But this? It sounds like complete bullshit.

Some wonderful stories here, and I think I regained a little hope.
Take care, everyone. My loyal teddy is over 20 years old now. I'll say hi for you, and thank him more often.

Are you British or American? In either case it's good to hear something from a soldier in Iraq that isn't about how they've become inured to shooting otherwise blameless people who don't stop at checkpoints.
