Branching out from discussion in <#668911890260426777> for a more focused discussion.

This whole Wuhan pandemic panic, following on from VA boogaloo, following on from WW3, etc. etc. They're all 4chan tier habbenings that are fun and feed you a bit of dopamine but it's identical to the rage bait that the left always indulges in and the right gets sucked in to on moral issues. Outrage is fine, being aware of global issues is fine, but the internet, our connectedness and social media in particular makes us internalise it way more than justified.

So for self improvement, consider dealing with your addition to habbenings and your tendencies to seek out and engage in collective outrage. Try and find a more balanced state.

Start by shifting your mindset: there are two circles, one inside the other. The larger circle is your circle of concern. It's the sphere of all things you concern yourself with, mainly the things you deal with on an emotional level. The things that make you outraged and the things you obsessively seek out information on.
The inner circle is your circle of influence. It's the sphere within which you can exert control, the space where you can meaningfully impact change.
A major problem among connected people today is that the circle of concern is massive, far too big. Coupled with lies we tell ourselves about how big our circle of influence is.

@arg so basically be less emotional and watch your ego

because they are both lies

Your circle of influence us fairly small. You can rage in social media but you may as well be raging into a mirror. You're not changing anything.
Your circle of concern drives your mental and emotional health. If you can't do anything about it, do you want it eating away at you? Saturating your system with dopamine and other stress hormones?
Be enraged at the things that impact you and your loved ones. Go deal with the drag queen story hour they're enforcing on your kids. But don't spend your days glued to the internet looking for tiny snippets of information about habbenings that are going to have exactly zero impact on your real life. You have so many better ways of spending your time. Go work out, get buff, lose weight, read the western cannon, sort yourself out.

I'm already over the coronavirus meme

I'm either gonna get infected by factors outside of my control, or I won't because I stay clean and nothing will happen

Let the left spiral while we get strong.

all this hype is annoying and infantile

rip swine flu

rip bird flu

rip monkey pox

rip Ebola
rip SARS
rip MERS

i long for the day of monkey pox

oh monkey pox, monkey pox

where art thou monkey pox

The most aptly named virus tbh

It will destroy the sodomites

All you naysayers
THE END IS NIGH

Remember to wear your Hazmat suit under your regular clothes for maximum protection

😶

I wear a mask while I sleep just to make sure Mr. Corona doesnt sneak up on me in the night

My mother has bronchitis so I'm concerned

I worship the virus

Reprobates be purged

What have you done to improve yourself this week?

I was at work

school work. I've actually been wasting a lot of time.

Nice coat

@SkellingtonThx my Painter Uniform 😊

Just a reminder : eat garlic, wash your hands often and in hot water, get some canned food and hand sanitizers.

If you want to make your own anti viral spray/fluid get some spirit and mix it with Tea tree oil.

a spray bottle with otc rubbing alcohol is more than you'll need

t.med fag

I still wouldn't take any chances personally and add something for extra measure.

I fucking HATE leg day

Always feel like I’m about to puke by the end

```SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
Dietary protein supplementation significantly enhanced changes in muscle strength and size during prolonged RET in healthy adults. Increasing age reduces and training experience increases the efficacy of protein supplementation during RET. With protein supplementation, protein intakes at amounts greater than ~1.6 g/kg/day do not further contribute RET-induced gains in FFM.```

You shouldn't be eating more than 0.55 gm of protein/ld.

the heck are those units

You can’t progressively overload calisthenics past a certain point

Lifting is also much better for building mass

They both have their place

Along with cardio, which is the best way of losing weight

the best way to loose weight is a high fat low carb diet, not physical activity

longer fasting periods work too because they have a similar effect

best way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories heh

less and better food

just intermittent fast and cut down on carbs

Any opinions on short term juice fasting?

juice is just sugar

so very bad

Rather veggies

veggies you will just shit out

Throw a steak in it? 😂

steak is good for u

@Big Boomer just normal fast and drink salt and potassium water

water fasting is easier than eating miniscule amounts of food anyway

it helps if you're fat adapted

I have been watching way too much youtube, thousands of hours over the last few years

gonna try to find something else to do thats actually worthwile

discord is mostly a waste too, the way ive been using it

Yes

Watch contra points to deradicalize yourself

my political views have nothing to do with this, 90% of the videos i have watched are not political

yeah I need to reduce discord activity

Have any non-asians died from CoronaVirus?

Is the coronavirus even a big deal? The death to infected rate seems minor. Like 1% minor.

just ignore it

@MicMac not that I'm aware of. There was one reported death in France but that was Chinese tourist. @LimaGolf it is very big deal and should not be underestimated. Aside of the possibility of it being a lab runaway it is EXTREMELY INFECTIOUS and can (supposedly) spread asymptomaticly. On top of that after you fight of the infection there is quite the real chance you can get re-infected because your body didn't produced antibodies. And supposedly the second time is worse then the first. It can also damage your kidneys and testicular tissue.

It primarily targets smokers and not necessarily Asians. Chinese men smoke A LOT. So I would not trust the notion that Europeans have some magical immunity to it. The fact that it spreads slowly in Europe can be attributed to quick response to confirmed cases and general state of alert.

And lastly it will reck the economy.

it doesent strike me as a bioweapon tho considering its kill rate is less than 1%. the main point of a bioweapon is to be extremly lethal within couple of hours or days and then go inert. so your own troops dont get infected or lest it spreads and start infecting your own people

Not necessarily. You can be as deadly by indirect means (cloging up the hospitals with infected, disruption of infrastructure, ect.)

i will stick with the original story that this is mutated strain of SARS that became a pandemic after the last failed SARS epidemic, it mutated and became more infectuis but less lethal than previous strain

I'm not saying it's a bio weapon but Chinese might fuck up big time just by accident.

this is only possible in asia/africa/middle east because of the unsanitary markets and livestock farms

is it no wonder than previus 2 outbraks were SARS and MERS

That contributed to the spread, for sure. But there are a lot of "coincidences" around this outbreak.

The rule of thumb for me is : if governments shit their pants on the prospect of it appearing in their state then it is serious.

And I forgot to mention. Worst case scenario that some are speculating is that it is uncontainable and will become seasonal. Like a ful that can destroy your lungs, give you a heart attack, kidneys damage and sterilize you.
