strive to be better always I have a great job a great life but I strive to learn as much as I can whenever I can rn I'm studying literature because I have a book coming out in August or September and I want it to be perfect yo so I've been learning all I can about literature and how to write shit to strive to succeed at my real passions @Deleted User

@Deleted User do you not have strength goals, physique goals. Books you want read, ideas you want to become familiar with. Questions you have that you want to run side by side with some of the greatest philosophical minds that ever lived?

@bigboi Damn right it is 😉

i kinda wanted to drop some shitty meme in chat to throw off discussion cause im an asshole like that but naw

@Straw_Hat_Ichigo Oh wow that's awesome! What is the book about?

@shadowlessnexus Are you the famous Shadow?

this seems like legit conversation so ill leave it

unfortunately i am

@shadowlessnexus Thank you for your consideration.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

do you think it is possible to work a job that is enjoyable? -since surely the pressure associated with deadlines would result in stress, which inturn would make on not enjoy their job

Nexus is top admin~fu

@Deleted User What ever you do, don't join his fanclub. It's a trap.

i dont have a fanclub shut up

you not enjoy the job*

work a job thats enjoyable? if you enjoy challenging yourself perhaps

but you'd have to be resillient to stress and even then ur gonna burn out.

@YuriBezmenov I do. I want to maintain the ripped look I have going. I am fairly strong in the 5 main lifts but I guess I could lift heavier. I'm pretty confident with the weight I can lift. I've been looking a lot more into Aristotle, Ayn Rand, Stoicism and Minimalism. I'm already a minimalist (moved over 1k miles to western USA in a sedan with all my belongings). I don't have any great philosophy. I'm a realist and very practical. I am a hybrid between scientist and engineer, lol. I like to apply.

@Deleted User if you're looking into stoicism check out Seneca and Marcus Aurelius

@bigboi I want business to become my obsession. However that evolves.

Meditations is a great book.

@Rhunespire Yes! Epictetus too.

@YuriBezmenov I am reading it now.

I also read Musashi - not quite Stoicism - but pretty close.

Epictetus was great as well

@Happy Humble Hermit this is your fault btw. stop fucking making me act in your terrible terrible terrible sketch videos

all i wanted to do was get ahri pictures

now i gotta deal with this

@shadowlessnexus The sketch video and the janitor video.

like league of legends ahri?

I am binge watching so a long way to go if you've been in any more...

noice

Lol wut

How about martial arts, or some sort of physical pursuit @Deleted User

@Straw_Hat_Ichigo my dude. you have meme underling role. how have you not been here long enough to know what im about

Clearly q:

I know this is unrelated: Have you all gone dark on politics/news? I just moved to the west coast and it's worst here than anywhere I've lived when it comes to politics. I have been silent so if I don't consume it - it would be easier to stay silent on my true opinions.

Your all about smashing ahri, rikka, and any other phat assed anime girls you can get your hands on @shadowlessnexus

@YuriBezmenov Absolutely.

~~and buying monster hunter world too~~

@YuriBezmenov I was looking at brazilian jiu jitsu
