He's 21+ and trying to learn new skills

>he's 21+ and trying to learn new skills
You're just wasting your time. Declining neuroplasticity means that you'll always be playing catchup to motivated teenagers. If you wanted to be good at anything you should have started younger instead of playing video games and jerking off.

Can I still make it at 19?

Yes and you could if you were 21+ too. OP is just a loser who says this shit to justify his own laziness.

Then explain Van Gogh faggot

The exception proves the rule. The fact that Van Gogh is the one go-to example that people use of a late bloomer demonstrates how exceptional it really is.

Then medicine or science or literally anything else that needs a lot of life long learning.

>all those physics phds all stopped learning productively after 21

Learning entirely new skills is hard, but most things require such a degree of mastery that a 21yo is scraping the surface anyway.

>If you wanted to be good at anything you should have started younger
i was playing bass guitar when i was 13 and recently quit because i was still very subpar and could not play anything despite practicing at least 3 hours a day, sonetimes 6

But you're wrong. Most people change their profession as times goes. Are you locked into your job that you had before 21? Hideo Kojima was interested in film and when he was 24 he started working on video games. What you call exception are the people at the top of their fields but the pattern is normal.

demoralization thread, i commend you for making the effort but the faggot that makes these day in day out is just here to pick on impressionable and downtrodden people because they're easy marks. you have shitheads here in their late teens to early twenties who've already "given up on life" and faggots like op are just here to try to bully them into further hopelessness and suicide.

>faggots like op are just here to try to bully them into further hopelessness and suicide.
and you're totally not a faggot who doesn't want to bully the "shitheads" into despair and suicide

im 27 and learned programming from scratch and its now my job (WFH self employed). suck it

Just because you've given up on life and become a fat lazy piece of shit doesn't mean you need to take other people down with you, OP.
Neck yourself for making these threads.

I learned to code at 21 and now make 150k a year in my 30s.

neuroplasticity becomes shit because when you leave school your not bombarding your brain with all the different information you are presented in school
the brain is like a muscle it turns to shit if you don't work it out

i dislike the people here and the mentality they foster broadly speaking, i never make threads here encouraging sloth, despair, hopelessness or telling people to kill themselves (unless they're female and even then only if they're attention whoring). yeah, /r9niggers/ are shitheads. so what? it's a temporary status. unshithead yourself and you'll lose your shithead status. being a mopey, demoralized cunt who won't do anything to change their circumstance and turns to porn, drugs and other filth makes you a gaylord and a shitty person. the problem is that showing solidarity to people like you doesn't work, you just act resentful despite people's good intentions. there's a world of difference between criticism against a group of people and actively vying for their demise and i'm only guilty of the former.

same person but just to add on to this

you can help with your neuroplasticity if you study many things that you did in school or whatever
buy some textbooks or go on khan academy or something

>i dislike the people here and the mentality they foster broadly speaking
you have no reason to be here or anything to say worthwhile, i wish this place was much more gatekeeped like it was back in the day, to keep people like you out

I don't know if when you're 21+ you're playing catchup with teenagers but your lazy ass will always be playing catchup with someone whos actually doing something. Never forget that OP.

How about watching pop science videos on YouTube?

Saying you learned to code is a bit like saying you learned to suck dick. In other words, you're gay.

So how are you not implying that literally everyone succesful basically peaked at 21 and stayed that way? How am I different from them in progressing after we're both 21? They don't stop progressing so why would I?

This. Most of your life is unironically over by 21. Without stimulants like caffeine and drugs time starts to speed up. Months will feel like weeks. Hours will pass like seconds. And Before you know it, youre dead.

I didn't know using my computer to type scribbles instead of posting on Any Forums made someone gay.

>hand tool based carpentry
>computer programming
>electronic diagnostics and repair
>embedded systems design
>martial arts
>development operations
>operations security
>web development
Nearly all of these are skills I got into around my late 20s at the earliest, a few months ago at the latest. I'm nearly 40 now. If OP worked half as hard at not being a faggot as I worked on everything I've learned, maybe we wouldn't have threads like this.

It's funny how you people who lurk r9k, who can't be older than 19 at the very most, seem to have life all figured out already and think that life magically ends as soon as you hit 21.

Good job, but half of that is just IT/CS shit. What this really means is
>I work in IT
>I do sports
>On the weekend I build shit from wood

>playing catchup
sure in some toxic competitive workplace maybe, but anyone can learn enough to get by.

Hell of a lot more than you do.

I do enough shit, I'm not a coping retard like OP. But just listing shit you had to learn for your job when half of that is in my CS curriculum anyway is cheap.
