That could potentially help transition to something IRL

2018-11-13 00:49:14 UTC  

I have farming stimulator

2018-11-13 00:49:19 UTC  

based and redpilled

2018-11-13 00:49:23 UTC  

It never was very stimulating

2018-11-13 00:49:29 UTC  

darn haha

2018-11-13 00:50:17 UTC  

What about cooking? Do you do much, or enjoy that?

2018-11-13 00:50:46 UTC  

Yeah that’s fun

2018-11-13 00:51:51 UTC  

Well, there's no clear progression to that, but there are definitely some more interesting/technical books out there on the science of cooking and such, I know picking recipes for the sake of learning can be boring.

2018-11-13 00:53:31 UTC  

And just have fun with it or challenge yourself sometimes, be impromptu. A couple months ago I decided I should stop the frequent eating out I was doing, so pulled a bunch of random stuff like canned chicken, ramen noodles, and mixed it together using only intuition and no recipes, turned out decent

2018-11-13 00:53:49 UTC  

like getting hung up on formalities is a problem I have with cooking

2018-11-13 00:53:57 UTC  

or not having all ingredients

2018-11-13 00:54:01 UTC  

but f@ck it

2018-11-13 00:55:24 UTC  

Well, one option you may have is media editing. I don't want to pull a boomer on you and instead of recommending pursuing sports as a career, doing E-Sports. (maybe you're that good IDK you gotta be honest with yourself,)

2018-11-13 00:56:06 UTC  

Starting to create digital content of some sort

2018-11-13 00:56:22 UTC  

But hey like i said this takes time

2018-11-13 00:56:44 UTC  

for now, the next few months you could just make it a point to cook a solid meal every day and that'll keep you busy,

2018-11-13 00:56:53 UTC  

most people love free food, invite them over to cook for them

2018-11-13 00:57:44 UTC  

Because between transitioning off vidya, trying to pick up a book, diet, working out, getting good at cooking, you'll stay occupied for a while

2018-11-13 00:57:51 UTC  

what do you think about that?

2018-11-13 00:58:43 UTC  

@Trashboat I figure I've about spoken my piece now

2018-11-13 00:59:35 UTC  

Sometimes if the issue is only enjoying vidya, I believe a good remedy is to just go hiking or camping for a day or two, cook so it's not totally boring, and after simply spending enough time away from video games other things become more interesting

2018-11-13 01:00:00 UTC  

akin to how once someone cuts junk food, they can appreciate the nuance of others, quality in produce, etc

2018-11-13 01:01:07 UTC  

Anyways good luck dude, I've practically wrote a short essay here, gotta get started on my assignments haha

2018-11-13 01:02:22 UTC  

Yeah

2018-11-13 01:02:26 UTC  

Thanks a ton man.

2018-11-13 01:02:52 UTC  

I have more to go on now for sure.

2018-11-13 01:03:06 UTC  

One last bit of advice: Don't fumble with apps to keep you organized and all that until you're at a point where most of the stuff you're doing is productive, and you're having trouble managing it. Because just using the damn things can be a drag and chore lol

2018-11-13 01:04:43 UTC  

This was all from the perspective of someone who struggles with (a non-meme, genuine diagnosis of) ADD, if that helps you assess the legitimacy/relevancy of theadvice.

2018-11-13 01:05:04 UTC  

Yeah I talked to my dad and he said something like boxing or cooking too.

2018-11-13 01:05:14 UTC  

Reading 30 minutes before bed

2018-11-13 01:05:16 UTC  

All that jazz

2018-11-13 01:05:48 UTC  

Boxing or a martial art is a great idea to, it's very engaging when sparring with others or practicing technique alongside peers

2018-11-13 01:06:18 UTC  

So there ya go, try the video game stuff I mentioned, and focus on cooking and a martial art,

2018-11-13 01:06:30 UTC  

GLHF :^)

2018-11-13 01:09:57 UTC  

Thanks billion man

2018-11-13 01:51:47 UTC  

work on something with your hands! someone the other day was saying how that's helped his mind. try to get away from screens especially if you are at a computer for your job

2018-11-13 03:46:08 UTC  

I can't really do that

2018-11-13 03:46:21 UTC  

I don't have the money to buy a home gym and start working in the garage

2018-11-13 13:01:42 UTC  

Working with your hands could be as easy to set up as card tricks or whittling

One of the ways we need to be in control of the direction of our society is by running profitable businesses that provide value. Ann Coulter pointed out in her book, _Adios America_, that while the media focuses on immigrants from India as being the most successful, since they have the record for the most start-ups, it's actually Russians who are the most successful immigrants when you look at _profitable_ start-ups and other businesses.
