How To Not Fail At Life

great article
indeed

i stopped at the creationist part. sorry. am i still a loser?

TLDR

haha thats great. so true to. i wish i could show this to some people i know……

I have to agree with Kelly B. “So this is what masquerades as best article of the day, a mindless post that could only be funny to a high school kid? There is nothing “best” or even remotely “good” in this post. Sorry I subscribed now.”

Hey, don’t go knocking Aspergers, unless you grew up with it. Life has enough filth and profanity without Blogger’s “Best Article” (HA!) adding to it. Grade: F minus minus.

Sorry, I missed the byline credits in all the garbage. Who is the sleazeball we should blame for this puerile nonsense?

Man that was great!
You have to read it all, and I recon if you don’t like it, it must be a bit too close to the bone… either that or I’m wrong…

I had do my best to find the good post.
And I am very sorry to hear that.

Well I thought it was entertaining.

Yes I read it all the way through.

Yes I’m a creationist.

I must say I didn’t like the language or some of the examples used, but the idea behind the “crayon-esque” art is still valid. It’s just a matter of looking at it from an unemotional point of view.

how not to fail at life…

Dude…this was one of the greatest post EVER!! cause unlike other idiots n haters on this site, i actually read the whole thing. It was funny n SOOOO true =D

I liked it, it’s the best one of these I’ve ever seen. Also: Why do people stop reading at “What are you, a creationist?” The fact that one sentence mildly offends them immediately invalidates the entire rest of the argument? I think that says a lot more about the commenter than the writer, really.

The Asperger’s thing isn’t a stab at people who have actually been diagnosed by someone with a real doctorate in psychology who have it, (Though that is in there too.) It’s a stab at all the socially inept mouth-breathers who found the article on Wikipedia and decided they have it as an excuse to keep being socially inept mouth-breathers and now expect everyone else to feel sorry for them.

To Poster: What you’re seeing here is the problem with taking things from the place we’re not supposed to talk about and disseminating them to the internet at large. Lightning struck once with lolcats, most of the rest of what comes out of that wretched hive of scum and villainy will not be well received by the rest of humanity. Some are too stupid, some are too reactionist, some are simply not capable of accepting that they’re socially inept mouth-breathers, and thus cannot laugh at things that make fun of socially inept mouth-breathers.

Finally, this is truth. The reason why the writer could never be a successful “life-coach” is that those people make their money lying to people and telling them there are easy routes to getting what they want. Nobody is willing to pay money for a hard look at themselves. (And don’t talk to me about psychs, there are probably a few who really try to make people realize what’s wrong with them, most of the rest are validation-dealers who make their money on the comeback clients who are addicted to having their hand held and being told that lots of little baby steps will eventually let them catch up with the rest of the world.)

Brilliant!

@Jim

My comment piggybacks on Ash’s. The intended audience for this piece both exists and is larger than you might think. The person who owns the website from where this comic originates was recently featured in Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people.

The flipside is that the “dialect” of this community is vulgar, rude, offensive, harsh, and insulting and discussions that arise there are more often than not driven by breaking taboos–it is not likely to be appreciated (in any sense of the word) by outsiders.

GET A LIFE WOW? you probley spent hours on this, honestly you might be the biggest hypocrit ive ever seen or heard of in my life. I bet you have never even been with a woman, leave the house geek.

If you have the time to create such a pile of shit ‘article’ then you really need to get a life and step away from the pc. I’m willing to bet a geeky virgin wrote this pile of muck.

Also, learn to fucking draw.

Raging christfags, indeed. Why so butthurt?

Great article, bspcn, lulz were had.

Hilarious! I love all the garbage eater comments above. Reality hurts don’t it me brothers!

What does this have to do with atheism?

Anyway, except for the fact about buying presents to get laid, this comic is spot on for the most part. “Fake it ’till you make it” and all that. The biggest hurdle is getting a ‘real job’, and my that I mean a job that you enjoy/don’t mind doing/doesn’t make you want to shoot yourself. The rest just comes naturally, IF you can get that job. Not a lot of people do, and are miserable for the rest of their lives. Some people just can’t stand the monotony of a 9-5 job but can’t, for lack of finances or balls, look for the job that would suit them. Then again, in today’s economic climate quitting and looking for a ‘nice job’ will probably land you in the gutter. But in 5 years time the economy will have been restored (hopefully) and that will no longer be a valid reason.

If you couldn’t make it through this, then you’ve already failed at life and nothing the article says will be of any help to you.

I thought it was brilliant. I never stop and read any of the crap I stumbleupon upon, but I did read this, and fuck me it’s all true. I can’t imagine how anyone who’s been through life (I’m 29 and getting married soon) can’t agree with pretty much everything, or, if not, be worried by how close to the bone it all is. I certainly think that if any of it makes you actually angry, then you should look at yourself a little more closely.

Lots of true stuff there, I’d imagine it hurts if you’re the sort of person who its targetting.

The only thing I’d add is to be cautious of faking it till you make it. Keep in touch with how you really feel underneath, even if you dont act on it all the time.

hi yea…i go on 4chan & if you buy me something expensive i will kick you in the nuts. like im not even kidding…lol so sexist!!

As a disabled person and somone with social problems, I thought the cartoon was very astute in its obervations and conclusions. Wisdom doesnt always arrive in neat & tidy packages, sometimes you have to sift through the chaff.

Although the cartoon is somewhat distastefull in parts, it was well worth reading until the end, and I think the artist is quite a bit more enlightend than many of his detractors on here.

Great article.

The only unfortunate part is that it is written in a tone that directly antagonizes those it is trying to “help.” I’m not even sure if the author realizes this. End result is that basic human defensiveness (aka the author’s own Key to Life #1) prevents anyone but those with very open minds and those who have in one way or another already realizes the truths within the article from gaining anything from it.

Damn, I thought it was a good article. All the negative comments are making me rethink my thinking process…

Since I am a girl, I must admit people just buying you things out of nowhere is creepy no matter what it is. I find it even more creepy if the gift is something very expensive. However, nice little gifts (along the lines of something she has mentioned she might possibly be in need of, like a new pencil sharpener or spray cleaner for her laptop) are generally appreciated and considered more thoughtful.

A lot of people here are bashing this comic. But take an introspective look. Most of the stuff regarding tribalism is actually quite true.

The people denouncing it are the same people who say sigmund freud was completely wrong…

ummm if all of this was to get a Real Life GirlFriend then this is a convoluted way to go about it

Talk to a new woman every day and you will get a girlfriend, it might take a while but it will happen guaranteed no matter how fucked up you think you are

Fred West managed to find a woman who enjoyed seducing/raping/torturing other young women for fun

If someone that fucked up found love, there’s hope for everyone

Just say hello

I thought it was quite funny, and most of it made sense.

It’s relatively well thought out, and offers a satirical (but at the same time real?) look at life.

:D

some was funny, some was stupid. some of it was true or kind of true, and some of it was just plain wrong and/or dumb.

overall, i felt that the flaws outweighed everything else, thus making it a waste of my time when i could have been looking for a job.

great post
beaker said it well
i agree with most of it but some of the points that particularly stand out to me as true are that u need to be a good person on a day to day basis and that it wont just happen all at once, it may take a year or more. also the corollary to steps 1 through 3 is very true. it may b hard to do, but you can control all your emotions. u dont have to be a bitch about everything.
i personally feel that if you follow the step of taking a year to become a better person, the rest of this will all fall into place

Why are you people busting this guy’s balls? It is sense couched in humor.Have you heard of George Carlin?

Spot on, and absolutely hysterical. Girls do dig alpha males, it’s hard wired into us. Honestly I think the best part of this was about not attaching strings to gifts. I guarantee that the only reason a girl ever feels akward recieving a gift is if you make her feel like she owes you something for it, and not that you’re courting her favour.
And then she’ll think you’re a jerk who’s trying to buy her with expensive presents.
At which point you’ll never, ever, ever get anywhere with her ever again.

I eat rocks.

Biggest. win. Ever.

Also, the shit about aspergers is true. I’ve got it, and it doesn’t stop you leading a normal life unless you’re a whiny little bitch who doesn;t even try.

I read this all the way through, and I am a creationist, and yes I did find it funny.
And shut up Willard he’s not dissing asperger’s he’s dissing the innumerable morons who claim that they have asperger’s to excuse the fact that they’re miserable and pathetic yet mentally intact losers with no social skills.
Oh and 5 posts above me- You’re an idiot. If there’s one thing women appreciate it’s material goods.

actually, the one who wrote this is actually kinda smart. it’s not about the facts, about the way hes telling people to do it. it’s the goal that’s important. there are way too many people at 4chan or on the internet who have no fucking job and keep on complaining about the same shit everyday. i know it, i’ve seen it. i even know people in ma real-life environment that behave like the “douches”, judging others but not themselves.
if you can’t appreciate what the author did you are plainly a “douche”. if you looking for expert opinions, go to a professional. this is more like a resumé for all those people who can’t get their mind straight on what to do with their rotten lives.
if you have a job or at least a working relationship. this is no article for you.
and about that part with his opinion(about creationist etc.) just leave it be.
it’s like mine and other comments here. you write a shitload of text but nobody is actually reading it, because there are too many opinions here. and i bet most of the people writing a comment think of their post as an actual approvement of society or whatever.
it’s not working.
mine won’t either. but i like to write shit :)

huh. i actually read the entire thing.
and that’s not how life works.
if you want to fix your sucky life you have to do but one thing:
get a new outlook on life.
that is what got you into your socially malformed situation in the first place.
i found this article to be intensely depressing. :/

story of my life
lmao
that was great

ya know what? this is fucking beautiful. honestly… call me crazy, but this was the most inspirational shit i’ve read in like pretty much ever. razor sharp and totally on point. loved it. bookmark…

Dude, there are girls on 4chan.
o-o;

Me and a few girls I know like to share links on there. xD
