@Daribig learning meditative breathing patterns are helpful and knowing when to do them

@Kazemaru This, I still find my self "being tempted" around women but if I always maintain my presence of mind I can let go of these distractions

remind myself that I am looking at a deception

I'll have to try yoga, I hear it makes regular life seem less stressful @Kazemaru

A way I look at it is just evaluate things with absence of emotional thinking

@Aristorien great! You sir just dodged a lot a bullets like that

@Roundabout Lout I really want to look into yoga but I can't find any good resources, most of the stuff out there seems to be made from single moms

@Aristorien I have come to the conclusion women will never want me because my personality is too cold for them and I am too average in looks. Effectively taking me out of the dating game. With that weight off my shoulders I feel pretty good

same @Null

@Roundabout Lout its does indeed. But dont do it at night, or you will have problems to sleep

same

being average in looks is a blessing

someone mentioned earlier that dedicating your life to a trade can bring meaning and fulfilment - what trades would you guys enter for a lifetime? for it's me developing software due to it's endless avenues of leanring

it brings humility and the ability to distance yourself from the game

its*

@Aristorien lol, I'm not surprised thots would like making yoga videos. Tops showing cleavage are seemingly helpful in their yoga practice 🤔

@Daribig carpentry has a huge scope you could get into

lmao yeah

@Daribig carpentry

@Daribig You would have to find a way to develop software that is meaningful to you personaly, from what I have heard many people get into a cycle of working for a corporation on projects they hate

I'm getting into programming games so I got that, if not then I'll be changing the strings on my guitar soon so I can try that as well.

Only did wood shop in high school, sucked at it then, but still have a desire to own a small wood shop, very satisfying to gain utility out of that craft

the words labor and work are derived from words relating to pain and slavery

while vocation or calling means something entirely different

@Aristorien true, right now i only code during my free time so i'll have to take that into account when applying for jobs

@Daribig leather working and tailoring is also pretty neat

@Daribig Are you self taught?

If or when I can afford it I may just get into blacksmithing cause I've always found that and medieval stuff pretty neato

It is though

Really sucks that the majority of jobs in the US are service related

yes, i went into uni clueless and just hoping i'd figure things out - however during one of my internships i was introduced to code and from there on i've taught myself during my free time

swapped it for league of legendds

@Daribig start a craftwork hobby then. It will help enter in the trade mind

How many people can say they can make knives and other stuff.

@Daribig Thats great getting out of video games, there are some really great games out there but competitive games in my experience are draining

@Aristorien blame Regan economics for that

I already sunk alot of time into csgo

1000 hours

that's nothing, 10000 on league

I made a list a while back of all the things I could have done in that time

10,000
