2017-09-24 02:44:57 UTC

i'm pale as shit

2017-09-24 02:45:00 UTC

Or at very least >nofapping makes you feel more verile and aggressive.

2017-09-24 02:45:01 UTC

2017-09-24 02:45:18 UTC

2017-09-24 02:46:06 UTC

some pale and skinny af kid with no muscle isn't gonna help much in the settlement

2017-09-24 02:46:11 UTC

Well, it sounds like you know how to get it.

2017-09-24 02:46:21 UTC

It's the execution that matters.

2017-09-24 02:46:24 UTC

yes

2017-09-24 02:46:33 UTC

That's where people fall off.

2017-09-24 02:46:39 UTC

Temptation.

2017-09-24 02:46:41 UTC

yes

2017-09-24 02:46:49 UTC

i'm fallen to that quite a few times

2017-09-24 02:47:26 UTC

Eat enough protein too

2017-09-24 02:48:08 UTC

Falling off is okay, everyone falls off. Just get back too it.

2017-09-24 02:48:11 UTC

i eat a shit ton of meat and peanut butter

2017-09-24 02:48:27 UTC

so i think i have protein covered

2017-09-24 02:48:41 UTC

Make sure it's good peanut butter

2017-09-24 02:48:52 UTC

So you're not killing your arteries

2017-09-24 02:48:56 UTC

ok

2017-09-24 02:50:17 UTC

Fruit.

2017-09-24 02:52:49 UTC

yeah i'm gonna start adding more fruits and vegetables into my diet

2017-09-24 02:52:55 UTC

because i tend to be a pretty picky eater lmao

2017-09-24 08:48:20 UTC

I dont eat any chocolate anymore
I am at at least 100 days nofap
Diet should be pretty healthy, I got a good immune system and I regularly take a blood sample to see if I got all my nutritions

I need to exercise more
I should try to take cold showers again
I'm studying pretty hard, but my results are not as good as I want them to be

2017-09-24 09:33:12 UTC

If you want some tips for studying, perhaps taking a 15-minute break once an hour will help, if you don't already. Also, whatever you study ~15 min before sleep will be what is best retained, so make sure you do your final Essential Points Review before going to bed, maybe when you're doing automatic stuff like brushing your teeth or washing your face. And if you're allowed to chew gum or have mints/tic-tacs/candies during tests, you could try to associate a class and study sort with a flavour and smell. Helps some people with recall. Hope this helps!

2017-09-24 17:38:49 UTC

Have you guys heard of the Mind Palace memory technique - for studying?

2017-09-24 17:40:43 UTC

nope

2017-09-24 17:40:53 UTC

Yes

2017-09-24 17:41:32 UTC

Its where you imagine a palace in your mind and you place things that you want to remember in different rooms.

2017-09-24 17:42:18 UTC

that's

2017-09-24 17:42:19 UTC

weird

2017-09-24 17:50:13 UTC

it works by utilizing spacial memory instead of .. other memory

2017-09-24 17:52:52 UTC

Self Improvement book reccomendations?

2017-09-24 18:06:02 UTC

Not really, they dont work

2017-09-24 18:06:23 UTC

Focus on reading classical lit.

2017-09-24 18:06:38 UTC

Go for, healthy diet, nofap, exercise and developing sound political ideas

2017-09-24 18:06:46 UTC

Pretty much any western author is a good place to start.

2017-09-24 18:07:57 UTC

Depending on your reading comprehension level, you may want to start with novelists and work your way to philosophy.

2017-09-24 18:09:22 UTC

Orwell and Huxley are really good, and important authors to read.

2017-09-24 18:11:30 UTC

Then to Nietzshe, Decartes, Bertrand Russel, Aquinas, etc....

2017-09-24 18:14:25 UTC

Also, though he's not technically western, Solzhenitsyn is really important as well, specifically Gulag Archipilago.

2017-09-24 18:16:23 UTC

Also, important psychology works as well, Freud(Though he missed the mark on a few things, still very enlightening), Jung, Neumann, Becker etc..

2017-09-24 18:16:27 UTC

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Sometimes known as 'The Art of the Violenly Unstoppable Doormat.'

2017-09-24 18:17:11 UTC

Yeah, Carnegie is great as well.

2017-09-24 18:17:41 UTC

That is a decent self-help book. The only good one I know.

2017-09-24 18:17:45 UTC

Oh, I forgot Dostoevsky.

2017-09-24 18:18:04 UTC

Any study in Philisophy should start with Plato or the Pre-Socratics.

2017-09-24 18:19:02 UTC

Yeah, they count as western for sure.

2017-09-24 18:23:17 UTC

You know what, here's one of my bookshelves. Anything on here is good to start.

2017-09-24 18:23:36 UTC

Should be high enough res to read titles.

2017-09-24 18:23:53 UTC

Is that yours??

2017-09-24 18:23:56 UTC

Yes.

2017-09-24 18:24:13 UTC

Wow, thats how I want my walls to look like ๐Ÿ˜„

2017-09-24 18:24:25 UTC

I like these covers

2017-09-24 18:27:41 UTC

>The Great Works of The Western World.

2017-09-24 18:27:43 UTC

Shit nigga

2017-09-24 18:27:46 UTC

That is goodl

2017-09-24 18:28:21 UTC

It's a set bought with a really nice, but old, leather bound britanica encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is long gotten rid of due to obsolescence. They were several thousand dollars all together. Was probably 2 decades ago now.

2017-09-24 18:28:44 UTC

Ah man, I will get similar ones

2017-09-24 18:31:12 UTC

Focus is kinda shit on my fucked up iPhone. I'll take a new one tomorrow after I get my Note8.

2017-09-24 18:31:34 UTC

Along with some others probably.

2017-09-25 22:52:11 UTC

Gotta say, I recently started taking cold showers, and I think I'm additcted (not literally). It feels fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone.

2017-09-26 00:24:06 UTC

Also prevents dry scalp^^

2017-09-26 10:42:46 UTC

I prefer starting my showers cold and finishing with warmth ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป I don't get as clean in the cold

2017-09-26 10:43:58 UTC

I find warm showers at first helps get the oil and dirt out, opens the pores, and then cold shower closes em up again, so warm while washing and a cold finish is ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2017-09-26 10:45:47 UTC

๐Ÿค” I have yet to try that! I'll do it tommorow at the gym

2017-09-26 19:20:52 UTC

Ended up trying it today, it was pretty good! ๐Ÿ˜„

2017-09-26 19:52:24 UTC

Really? The first times for me were really uncomfortable, I kept my showers shorter.

2017-09-27 01:34:14 UTC

idk if this is considered self improvement

2017-09-27 01:34:23 UTC

but instead of buying bread from the store i'm baking it at home

2017-09-27 01:34:51 UTC

thats cool, how much work is involved in that?

2017-09-27 01:35:08 UTC

the most primitive way of doing it

2017-09-27 01:35:10 UTC

is not that hard

2017-09-27 01:35:24 UTC

grind up wheat seeds + mix with water

2017-09-27 01:35:27 UTC

and you have dough

2017-09-27 01:36:02 UTC

however various things like baking powder are good to help make the dough rise

2017-09-27 01:36:10 UTC

sugar + salt and possibly other toppings are good as well

2017-09-27 01:36:35 UTC

how does the taste compare?

2017-09-27 01:36:42 UTC

idk yet

2017-09-27 01:36:46 UTC

i'll have to see

2017-09-27 01:36:56 UTC

but once i make some and try it i'll make sure to try to post some results here

2017-09-27 01:37:13 UTC

please do

2017-09-27 02:00:34 UTC

On occasion I make a loaf or two, it's crazy how much better than store bought bread it is.

2017-09-27 02:00:48 UTC

Especially right when it's fresh.

2017-09-27 02:00:56 UTC

mhm

2017-09-27 02:01:02 UTC

i've never tried fresh bread before

2017-09-27 02:01:07 UTC

only store bought shit

2017-09-27 04:35:22 UTC

Weโ€˜re baking it at home too, but we have a machine to do it for us.

2017-09-27 05:06:33 UTC

I just use breadpans and an oven.

2017-09-27 05:07:53 UTC

What's really interesting about bread is that your regional bacterium can change it's texture and flavor significantly. San Francisco sourdough is a good example.

2017-09-27 18:54:22 UTC

that's actually really interesting

2017-09-27 21:45:31 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/359496856113381387/362716411455340547/IMG_20170927_174313.jpg

2017-09-27 21:45:45 UTC

bread is now outside and rising

2017-09-27 22:10:17 UTC

Looks... Very floury.

2017-09-27 22:10:22 UTC

yeah
