Board: /r9k/
"/r9k/ - ROBOT9001" is a board for hanging out and posting greentext stories.
/r9k/ is an imageboard where there are no exact reposts.
1. If you attempt to post something unoriginal, it is not posted, and you are muted temporarily.
2. The time with which you are muted for doubles with each transgression.
3. Each mute time is 2^n in seconds where n is the number of times you have transgressed. So,
your mute time doubles each time you fuck up.
4. Backlinks, eg >>1, are not viewed by the robot. So "lolwut" and ">>2 lolwut" are the same post, in the
eyes of the robot.
5. Gibberish at the end of a post to force originality may result in mod intervention (no BLOX posts please).
6. Images are NOT included in the filter, only text.
7. Your mute count slowly decreases over time.
8. You cannot post a picture without text.
9. Unicode is blocked. Sorry, too many exploits (Cyrillic letters, etc).
10. Posts require a certain minimum amount of original content in order to be posted.
11. Post sane, real content, well thought out replies, and mutes are unlikely.
12. The original algorithm was designed by XKCD:
http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal-attacking-noise-in-chat/ Do not post pictures of yourself on /r9k/.
Do not post threads asking for pictures of other users.
All "rate me" and camwhoring threads belong on /soc/.

We are so back lads edition fuck finding your looksmatch or "goth mommy" or whatever else you losers look for in your foids.
try finding your weirdmatch: a foid as weird as you are who gets you on that deep, strange level that few but the most specially broken of people can understand. someone who has such a deep and personal connection with you that betrayal or malice would be tantamount to betrayal of the self.
knowing you'll never be able to find her is one of the most agonizing pains known to any man. >try and oppress me now, woman-hating chuds! Why do men text you and then have you respond only for them to respond like a hundred hours later? k1gger thread on /r9k/ my k1ggers
post k1gger porn The idea of a "soulmate" being financially dependent on me and resource driven disgusts me to the degree of betrayal. so just because it's a fucking meme we have to pretend this movie didn't fucking touch our soul?
how much has to be lost before we're finally just allowed to feel Ok so apparently, gigachads are our greatest allies...how ironic how do you guys deal with overthinking. My brain feels like it chemically wired to overthink things and do nothing. Basically when a woman is in her 30s she hits perimenopause and is repulsed by her husband.
You could literally be chad and a perfect husband and she will divorce rape you because of her whacked out hormones.
Yellow fever comes from the fact that for white guys, noodles are easy and easy to replace. See pic in OP which represents what it is at a fundamental level.
This dynamic only happens with WMAF. It broke me when I read it, every assumption I had about WMAF turned out to be true and I'm going to rope because of it.
They all laugh at me behind my back and imagine fucking my mother/sister/daughter/cousin with ease because they're white.
They gloat about how much more superior they are than me and how I'm just a soulless bugman. I hate it, I can see it in their eyes. I can feel it in their stench. I distancing myself to all whites even if they were considered close friends, I'm not that type of person to ghost someone but I'm hinting at it slowly. I bet they just keep me around to feel better about themselves.
They just use me to feel superior about themselves and to fuck my future daughter with ease. They'll never respect me, if you're asian you should do the same. What you need to know is that whites are inherently racist and that they will never consider you a friend or equal, to them non-whites are just resources to be exploited.
The only way they'll allow us to exist is if we keep dancing for them like monkeys and giving them more holes to fuck, this is the only way to make it in white world. I'm a good looking man, 26 years old, exactly 6ft tall, slim, and with a head full of hair medium-sized anime style. And I have a 8.8x5.7 downward-curved penis.
What are your thoughts on guys like me?
I'm a tourist from the dead boards, and I've heard this is the incel board and I've found this place to be very comfy.
the consensus seem to be, you hate women or at least modern women or at least their actions.
but do you hate guys like me?
I'm not living proof of the blackpill, I don't have a sharp jawline. I have a round babyface, but girls still consider me handsome, I get approached all the time, and I've made multiple girls fall in love HARD with me without putting any effort.
I am swarmed by female attention all the time. I'm 26 and having the time of my life going from girl to girl, cuz usually I get bored and also I feel bad for rejecting girls when they approach me so I end up going out with a lot of girls. they're all asian cuz I have an extreme case of yellow fever
do you hate me? Really wish I could go full sprinkle sprinkle lady and the guy I am talking to online for two weeks now would fly from his country and get a hotel near me and let me sqeeze cuddle him also I demand he spoon me while I am on my phone listening to shit and listen to me bitching But I am too nice and desperate to be this demanding fml >Be femcel mass shooter
>Literally had a boyfriend
You can't make this up. I wonder what her pussy smells like right now. It would have been funny if they had randomly posted the state 5 things you have done today order in every board in the days before and the boards would get nuked by order of how seriously they responded AI is fun isn't it, which character AI allowed sexual content. I sure wonder what it is like to be entangled with a masculine man... To have him pay for you, actually want sex with you and pester you with it, have a man who is capable of his own decisions, who will be jealous and possesive. I do wonder. I find it hard to even fantasize anymore because I only have had experiences with comfortable&safe submissive men. I have to take up a role of the man of the house in order to not die alone because I am so pathetic and a failure of a woman. i wonder how many real robots still exist. ummm. ZERO. I hate you dysgenic pudgy sickly pale freakazoids. He turned water into wine

Death into Life Wow 4chan, what a hilarious and not annoying and lame April fools joke! I self-isolate because I'm a loser. Pic related, legendary Val Kilmer. Died today at the age of 65 after a 10 year battle with throat cancer. Number 1 cause of throat cancer in Men is exposure to HPV, AKA genital warts.
This is what happens when you eat pussy. Every single femoid whos had sex carries this virus, even if they are vaccinated. Its still contagious to Men but not so much to them, even though the new strains beat the vaccine lol.
So in future gents, don't eat the box or you'll get the pox. I missed you guys. Ask me anything, please. I wanna feel loved. And like a celebrity. have you seen the shy boys documentary?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ8EAwRauoM Why do women hate guys who say they're apolitical/moderates on dating apps
I vote for left wing parties at the provincial level, and right wing parties at the federal level. Moderate is the only way I can describe my schizoid voting patterns So I'm house-sitting for a friend and this dog is being a little shit. He doesn't listen when I tell him to come inside and also yelps like I'm abusing him if I try to pick him up or push him towards the door. Anyways, he just walked into the room while I was playing on the computer and pissed on the floor in front of me. Now, I am pissed off and I don't know what to do about the dog. When did you realize that women simply don't enjoy the company of men? Gynocentrism is to be eliminated from the collective soul.
Evolutionary habits are not a virtue. They are void, impermanent and subvertable.
Women and children do not "go first"
Women do not """"""need"""" to be given anything Why do moids love and goon to vtuber/eceleb/etc waifus when their vtuber/eceleb waifus are KEKING them off screen and their tvshow/movie character waifu gets shipped with someone in universe or their VA/actress is married or gets married to someone that isn't you? >start smoking cause its cool
>end up spending 25% of my income (20 packs a month) being late and taking it easy They have to train white kids from birth not to believe their lying eyes lol. How does this video make you feel? Would you like to get sissified, perhaps forever? the ones that are actually hot rarely mention or flaunt their hotness.
it's always the ones that are average or slightly above average who think they're gods gift to women. you think i'll get banned from tinder if i threaten to rape someone? im in the uk btw. >too much money too die, far too little to live
>no passion anymore, will never do anything ever again
>constant intrusive thoughts about raping and torturing ex
but beyond that im doing great, what about you? :3 I think I genuinely just hate being in a relationship.
Even if the time together is good all time aside from that I just feel this stomach churning feeling of dread. I hate someone having to depend of me for anything or being obligated to do certain things. I simply don't enjoy anything about being in a relationship other than the skin on skin oxytocin release. I just feel like I'm being controlled or surprised no matter how chill they are. I simply don't like it Thank god I've given up on women, otherwise I'd have to traverse the modern dating market thi5 5eem5 like a fun time f0r a mbti thread The Apr1l F00l's N1ght Ed1t10n

Does this mean I'm ugly? i wanna test my opsec skills against pedo bait CIA sting operations on discord Yknow, i keep complaining that women dont like me or they keep rejecting me. All while ive only ever tried to pursue girls online who i game with, and out of 5 only 1 rejected me.
I think i could actually ascend and leave this place (i wouldnt because desu you guys are the closest friends i have) if i just knew how to approach women.
Fembots, how should a guy approach you, what if you are with a friend ? since women never go anywhere alone. last:

To Women,
I resent you. You are a repressed misogynist and projecting all your internally conflicted anxiety causing feelings onto me. You need to believe that I enforce something onto your identity. Why? It's hard to say. But somehow there's a voice in your brain telling you things that make you upset. And instead of incorporating that into yourself you think it's a man, every man, or the manliest of men. There is a voice in your head and a feeling burning under your skin that you don't want to take responsibility for. You want me to take responsibility for it. And i frankly don't think I can fill that role for you. It's not for me. Even if I could, it's a labor, and not even a labor of love. I have way bigger problems just staying above water. You go be a strong independent woman somewhere else. I don't have the time, energy or wealth of experiences to play along. All i want is some security for myself and i find you unfulfilling and unpleasant and overrated.

I'm going to quit my job. A bunch of people got laid off at work today. I'm getting a promotion due to these lay offs, but that's besides the point. Two of the people laid off were the only two hot chicks that worked there. Those two hot chicks were the only interesting thing about this God forsaken job.
One of the hot chicks used to sit at the desk opposite mine and she'd often take her shoes off. I'd get a nice sexy foot show every day, unbeknownst to her. Seeing her sexy silky feet was the best part of my day.
Now, I've got fuck all reason to even come into work. There's nothing but a bunch of fat ugly chicks and gross looking older ladies left. I don't want to lead a team of fat chicks and wrinkly old hags. I'd rather die.
I don't even want this stupid fucking promotion. I just wanna quit my job now. My motivation is down to zero. How do employers expect their male staff to be motivated if there are no hot babes with sexy feet in the office? Surely my workplace rights are being violated here.
