NPH is epic and Barney can be very awesome but I think people need to consider more often that the character, when not being comedic relief, is meant to be a form of insecurity.

I'm not an english major or a liberal arts college grad so maybe I messed that up though.

You're right. I was watching the first season the other day.

For those who haven't seen this episode, the revelation of an old videotape forces him to talk about his past. He used to be a virginal hippie, and then his girlfriend left him for a well-dressed douchebag. He decides to become a well-dressed douchebag himself.

Throughout the episode, he and his (soon-to-be ex-) girlfriend sprinkle their conversation with what the audience knows to be Barney's catchphrases. It's funny and sad.

That's the thought process I want, but the thought process I have looks more like, "I'm 24 and I still have 2 semesters of college left before I get my bachelors degree. My friends have careers, steady girlfriends/wives, and homes. I'm getting left behind". I can't help it.

I'm 25 and about to graduate with a Master's in May 2012. I'm working full time and took a year off after my bachelors before starting the Masters' degree.

All I'm saying is people should really print out your statement and post it up in every classroom. Everyone works at their own pace, whether you are 24 or 34, if you like school or not, we need people to fill every position at every level. People put their own level of importance on education. But, it's not for everyone.

Best of luck to both of you in your educational endeavors. :)

Think about it this way - you're almost done!

About the career - What are you majoring in and have you done any internships? Internships are the best way to get your foot in the door. Also, have you applied for jobs?

About the girlfriends/wives - When the time is right, it'll happen :)

Theres no "left behind" after high school thats a mind set you have to change for the rest of your life or youll be chasing the things that dont matter. The only reall measure of success is "Am I happy right now?" after that its all bull shit.

Your in school chasing after something you hopefully love to do and can keep the lights on and food on you table. Nothing there to be worried about being "left behind"

Get a facebook you are just like me and i'm awesome. Being the oldest guy in college is not that bad when you are surrounded by hot young women. I have more fun than most my classmates that I talk to and don't regret shit.

[–]bobcatgoldthwait 2 points3 points ago

Just graduated at 28. I'm right there with ya.

Fuck everyone who says "life's not a race". That's basically saying that you can take it slow and easy because good times will eventually come. Fuck that. You can only go so fast when you're in college, but while you're in college you can do other things to make sure you're enjoying your life. Get a part time job so you're never broke and can have some fun, or maybe even save up a little for when you finish. Do extra curricular work at your school; something to make you look more appealing than everyone else graduating with you when you finally do get your degree, so you don't have to spend months looking for a job.

Again, don't listen to these other people. You are getting left behind. Do something about it.

I'm 34 and back in school for the first time in ten years. I graduated college in 2001 at age 24, then worked for ~10 years at various jobs before basically realizing that my two choices were to stay in my current lifeless-but-well-paying ($60k) job, or go back to school to get a Master's and Doctorate to further my career.

I figure by age 38, I'll be out of school, with moderate student loans and no retirement savings. Also, no wife or kids, so it'll be easy to clear my debt and move onward.

But fuck you, if you post pictures of your kids! Fuck kids!

I'm just going to put my obvious sarcasm notice right here: so everybody realizes that I am kidding, and think what a stupid hypocrisy it is that it's a-okay to post pictures of kittens and stupid shit, but posting pictures of the awesomeness of kids, is a reminder to people of how shitty their childhood was, or how much they hate bratty kids, or a reminder of something they can't have (which honestly is not a slight, and I understand and know people in this boat, but don't get pissed when I post pictures of my kid, and you plaster the internet with pictures of your pets. /end rant

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

Posting pictures of your kids is just a little bit weird. You just know they're going straight into some pervo's wank file.

Yes, I agree, posting pictures of dog-making-outage is as weird as posting pictures of kids.

[–]TheBrownies 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some might argue its not, and some might argue that pictures in general of pets is itself as weird as picture of your kids.

Either way I disagree. People are far less offended by pictures of dog making outage, than they are of pictures of kids, at least on reddit.

Friend in his 30s just had a baby a few months ago, though he genuinely cares and is ok with being a dad, he admitted that he basically cannot go anywhere fun. By fun I mean he likes to rock climb in the Rockies and ski which he did about every other weekend. Hasn't gone in 4 months.

Barney is an interesting character because he's the most deeply unhappy person on the show. You're not supposed to be emulating his attitude. You're supposed to feel sorry for him.

There have been studies showing that couples with children are "objectively" less happy in their 20s or 30s than couples without. However, as you age, you become happier that you've had children.

I think of it like anything else that's difficult: it's tough, it sucks, and it requires sacrifice, but when you look back, you're glad you did it. Personally, I can't help but think raising well-adjusted and contributing children to be one of the most important things that most of us will have the chance to do.

[–]littlemissdangerous 1 point2 points ago

I posted about this in another thread recently. My younger self was hellbent about not having kids. My 29 year old self is far less scared and far less selfish. And drinks less... and doesn't do drugs... and just has more to give to a partner, and a defenseless child.

[–]lengthynewt 6 points7 points ago

Not wanting kids is not selfish. Those of us who don't want kids find this incredibly offensive and insulting. There is NOTHING selfish about knowing what you want.

[–]littlemissdangerous 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was by no means trying to imply that I thought it was selfish. I'm sorry if it came across that way. I was talking about myself an no one else. You're absolutely right, nothing in this world is more satisfying than knowing what you want. If I did insult you, it was completely unintentional!

[–]littlemissdangerous 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

People who have kids just so that they have someone to love them are most definitely in it for the wrong reasons. And frankly, there are plenty of kids out there waiting for good homes, and the people that adopt those kids are no less "parents" then people who procreate, but that is still a great responsibility. In a lot of ways, it's a bigger responsibility. I have a lot of respect for the families that chose to grow via adoption.

You're aware of the falling birth rates in many first world nations in Europe and also Japan, right? It's thought that underpopulation might be more of a threat than overpopulation in the future.

Besides, is the human race always going to be dependent on the Earth's finite resources? Each new human is a new mind that can advance our technological development, and a lot of our resources are, or could be, renewable.

It's thought that underpopulation might be more of a threat than overpopulation in the future.

It's going to take some time before underpopulation starts to cause any problems. I mean, we survived with less than a billion humans on the planet really not very long ago.

More awesome until you wake up one day, you're 38 all alone starring 40 in the face, over weight, working 55 hours a week at a job you hate for little money. The days of going to the bar to make memories are long gone. Now you go there to remember those days. A happier time when all your friends would hang out without a care in the world. Now all your friends all have a house, wife/husband and two kids. There is more time for you in their live. Sure you hang out every once in awhile with Steve over a cold one. There is nothing really new you both can talk about. You talk Steve's ear off but he has to go 30 minutes ago. It's not that you enjoy Steve's company that much, you just don't want to be alone. Alone with yourself. Going into that empty apartment as hollow as you feel on the inside. There is that small second bedroom just down the hall. It's empty except for the noose hanging from the rafter with a chair tall enough to slip your neck into. The noose is the only thing that will hold you, never letting go. There are a couple of guys Who were up to no good Startin making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared.She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suite case and sent me on my way.She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket. I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.First class, yo this is bad. Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like? Hmmmmm this might be alright. But wait, I hear the prissy, booze, whine, all that. Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat? I don't think soI'll see when I get there. I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air.Well uh, the plane landed and when I came out. There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out. I ain't trying to get arrested yet.I just got here! I sprang with the quickness, like lightening disappeared. I whistled for a cab and when it came near. The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say is that this cab was rare. But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo home to Bel Air'. I pulled up to the house about seven or eight. And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'.I looked to my kingdom I was finally there. To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

It's funny that every 20 something thinks that having kids or a wife somehow shatters all hopes and dreams. 90% of the time you hang with buds, you're just looking to get laid anyway. 50% of the time, it doesn't happen. Yah.. that's "awesome"!

"Awesome" is completely subjective. If you're someone who thinks it isn't, chances are, you're probably exponentially less "awesome" than you think you are.

When we're in our 20s we think we know everything. When we're in our 30s we realize we knew nothing in our 20s.

I have always loved this joke. "When I was 18, I thought my parents were idiots and knew nothing. Now that I'm 22 I am amazed at what they were able to learn in 4 years"

Because it usually DOES shatter all hopes and dreams.

Only if you marry the wrong person.

Protip: Don't marry the wrong person.

The right person doesn't want kids either. Win win!

The law of diminishing returns really kicks in around age 27, though. Suddenly, awesomeness starts turning into creepiness.

EDIT: Ok, that made me sound a lot older and lamer than I currently am. Please, by all means, step all over my lawn. Oh, and here's your soccer ball back. Here, have some ribbon candy and a butter toffee!

Man, you've got to get out of that place. I'm 30 and where I live it's not thrown upon to have fun for at least another decade.

I don't think he was talking about having fun. More that the kind of thing that makes you "awesome" at 22 tends to make you somewhat less than awesome at 32.

You're getting down voted because Reddit is young, but you're absolutely right.

HIMYM spoilers!

Funny thing is that it has been shown that Barney gets married later on in the show. It has also been said that Robin is pregnant and the only possible father is Barney or her current boyfriend. But probably Barney.

I hate the conjunctive use of OR..

[–]gamelord12 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is incorrect. If p or q means that if either p or q is true, the whole statement is true. If both p and q are true, the statement is still true.

[–]AeBeeEll 2 points3 points ago

"Or" can be defined as an exclusive-or or as an inclusive-or, and the difference often has to be inferred from context, so it's a stupid thing to be pedantic about.

[–]Swampfunk 2 points3 points ago*

I just love it when people have to infer contextual information for a logical statement to be interpreted correctly. However I'm dumb, really dumb, when I first read the comic the first time, I added either to his statement, because of that I logically forced the use of OR as a disjuncture between the two groups in the statement. I'm sorry for my pedantic behavior.

As I understand it, the correct statement would be "All of my friends are prego or married"...that would be using OR as a conjunctive intersection, but "All of my friends are either prego or married" is using or as disjuncture between two disjoint groups. I'm not an english major, but my wife did just lecture me on why I was wrong, but then I read the Wiki on Boolean Algebra and noticed it was the word EITHER in combination with the OR that was screwing with me. But, I added either in my mind whilst reading...after reviewing the comic, I was wrong.

Thanks for the reply btw, never know when you are going to learn something because you thought you were wrong and turned out to be correct.

[–]AeBeeEll 0 points1 point ago

Ah! Totally understandable. My mind often inserts certain words into the text I'm reading too. Sorry for saying you were being stupid by being pedantic: it turns out you were right to be pedantic because you learned something in the process.

Cheers!

Every time I see a photo like this I think of a missed opportunity. I could have been the one to have gone through last week's top posts and put this up again, instead of the OP (the "O" in "OP" being used very loosely). I guess now I'll just have to wait another week before I can post this pic again.
