We have a lot of cynicism/pessimism around here, so for a change of pace here's something inspiring for the young people instead!

Christ the comments are fucking hilarious. 

"The dangling light bulb really adds something to this video.?"

I someone entirely failed to notice this thread and now "Aged 34, graduated 3 times,..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Malcolm Sutherland. ' is all that's left. I don't feel inspired at all.

What'd I miss?

Oh just some loser ranting about how he had 3 college degrees and followed all the "rules" of civilized society and was basically an unemployed virgin living in his parent's basement in his 30s. He was pissed how he wasted his life doing the right thing, though he wasn't screaming too much about it, it was more of a calm anger.

The "inspiring" bit was my of saying "Hey look at this video and be happy you aren't this guy!"

In any case, I'd imagine the virgin bit was the worst of it. I mean that's what he seemed the most upset about, but that factor is more on him. Seriously, I've known tons of lowlife unemployed assholes still living at home that were still managing to get laid.

If the video has been taken down, I'd say he might have cracked and gone on a shooting spree, however he was in the UK not the US so he probably just committed suicide instead.

Is there some rule that states if you have X amounts of college degrees and can't get hired somewhere prestigious enough to match, then you're required to slowly starve rather than get a normal job or is it just an ego thing or what?

I'm not sure what his degrees would have to do with him being a virgin, unless he's actually carrying them around and shoving them in the face of potential mates in place of 'hello' and then being confused as to why that doesn't get him laid.

overqualified for low level work, not enough work experience to enter higher level work. no sex life because he spent all his time on school.

probably.

Poor guy. If he was going to be an unemployed loser living with his parents anyway he should've at least started a band and had some fun with his life.

(for those who saw the video) did he say what the degrees were? if he has 3 associate degrees it basically means nothing except he had some time on his hands. if it's 2 associates and 1 bachelor degree I don't see why he can't get a job. etc etc

he could go get another degree, a job, a sex bot and fix all his problems with a bit of cash money.

There's no rule, but many companies might see the degrees and think he's overqualified or that he has no idea what the fuck he's doing given he has three degrees and is applying to be a cashier at walmart. You're also going to have companies asking why at 30 years old he has yet to have a job, so he would have a hard time lying if he wanted to omit the degrees. Even jobs relevant to his degrees would be asking why the other degrees/no work experience.

In other words he's legitimately screwed for work.

Getting laid just requires he has no standards and 50 bucks on a thursday night.

Knowing the number of places that will hire literally anyone without a criminal record, even including the mentally ill, I'm just having a hard time believing it's such a struggle to find any job at all. It wouldn't be a job he's happy with for sure but if his main goal at the time was just paying his parents enough that they don't throw him out?

Also thinking it would be easier to explain away not working on account of spending all your time getting degrees than the usual thing of 'had five jobs in the last two years because I'm an unreliable piece of shit/klepto and pathological liar/batshit crazy drama whore and it's always someone else's fault' HR typically has to sort through at the 'Walmart cashier' level of career.

Maybe it's different in the UK, I don't know, but around here employers make stupid hiring decisions all the times just because they need X amount of warm bodies to keep their business open and just rely on the tiny number of reliable people they still have to pick up the slack for what they already know are walking disasters that will last six months at best.

Oh shit, he posted a follow up to his last video. Here it is before he takes this one down too:

Two minutes in and this is super uncomfortable to watch. Does this guy hang himself at the end of the video or anything?

I wonder how posting these helps his employment/dating prospects seeing as I'm really getting the sense he's made entirely of barely repressed anger and sadness and I'm not sure if either are what the people he wants to impress are looking for.

'I've got no whiny girlfriend who expects me to respond to her texts 24/7' lol. That's right, keep looking at the bright side!

At least he seems cognizant of the fact that leeching off your parents forever is embarrassing and bad, and good on him that he's paying them rent, that's more than most people in that situation can be bothered with. But mostly though I'm left with the impression he needs to go outside on a sunny day and take a walk somewhere nice and just stop wallowing in his own misery for a bit.

Here's the first vid in case you were curious

Just watching this allegedly slightly more optimistic second one in which things have improved for him a bit is depressing enough tbh.

Say what you want about the UK, but at least their chubby, dopey-faced 30 year old basement dwellers are actually trying.

To be fair, the redneck looking basement dweller is probably getting some action from his trashy cousin and is satisfied with that.

That's not a redneck costume, that guy's pretending to be the Pokemon kid. He's been trying for years and he thinks prostitution counts.

LOL But I was thinking the same thing, the guy doesn't look anything like what I'd have expected for a basement dweller of that age. I'd really be curious to see how his interviews play out because unless he's just giving off intense, intense serial killer or 'will probably hang myself from the office ceiling fan my first week' vibes, I'm not really seeing how he's unemployable.

Why the hell are there so many videos in general with all these middle age guys going on about still being virgins? I mean I get that they're pissed about it, but I'd think that's something you'd want to keep quiet.

This, but...I'm wondering that about every aspect of these kinds of videos. The first step of being normal is being able to fake it. People are so eager to air the broken messes that are their lives to absolutely everyone these days and idgi, but, it has definitely become a factor in me not wanting to hang out with other people too much.

Lol his quoting of various cultures is one of the funnier things in that video.

"As the Irish used to say, if that's where you want to go, I wouldn't start from where you are now."

"As they say in America, no money, no honey."

I think one of his degrees is in chemistry. The dude could be Walter White, doesn't really have much to lose at this point.

Breaking Bad could never happen in the UK. There's fuck all places to hide. The only way drug dealers can really get big is by being the ones who oversee all the shipping and/or sellers in a local area, and that requires connections you don't find by being the 34 year old virgin who played by the rules all his life. Attempting to be Walter White will result in half the police force of the little island fucking you in the ass with all their public surveillance cameras and internet surveillance, and they'll investigate your house and/or basement and find all your shit on the suspicion that you may be purchasing banned porn genres like facesitting and/or secretly hiding butter knives under your bed. Or you'll get stabbed by people who have been in the drugs game much longer and are way better at it than you, but the first one is probably more likely. Either way you'll end up making $200 at most and then never having a job again.

This guy's FAR more optimistic about it!

Clearly someone needs to send the first guy some witty T-shirts about his virgin status, that's the sort of thing that makes all the difference in life.

That was physically difficult to get through.

I've watched about 1 minute of this so far, and the fact that his mom named him Skippy pretty much doomed him from the start.

holy shit I'm dying of laughter

I'm beyond the realm of discomfort.

I don't know where the fuck Steve went, but between this and the Nazi thread he's missing so much.

Fat Americunts,

I’ve got more important shit to do like fucking glitter boys in the ass and trying to lure 14 year old jailbait on to my boat.

That’s right, I’m relaxing on the high seas experiencing life while you faggots are wasting time on here watching other faggots more pathetic than yourselves so you can feel better.

As for the Nazi shit, I’m not fucking surprised you got Nazis marching through your fucking streets and assholes are dumb enough to defend them. Your fucking country is a fucking blight on the fucking world and I’ll be so happy when it finally collapses.

I know you faggots are all waiting around for me to post because I’m the greatest thing this site has to offer, but tough shit. You’ll just have to keep waiting until I decide to grace you with my magnificence again.

In the meantime, you’ll just have to be satisfied with whatever those old cunts Mizal and End are bitching about. Both of those faggots don’t have anything better to do anyway.

Sincerely,

Steve

I had to check and see whether he'd logged in in the last half hour because I could absolutely buy that as being a real PM you got.
