I work for a shipping company and my next assignment is taking me from the west coast to the east coast.

We are using an ocean going tug to drag an aircraft carrier over there, we weren't told why.

Unfortunately we are limited to 3-4 knots since it's such a huge load and the Panama Canal is too small for what we are doing so we have to go around the horn.

Basically we are going a long fucking way. And going really fucking slow.

They say it's calculating at about 90 days.

What are some good books I can download to read out there? Please provide links if you can.

I plan on working out a lot and getting fit. Also reading the bible again and perhaps trying meditation.

Any other suggestions? I will basically be cut off from the outside world for 90 days.

The abhorsen trilogy by garth nix. Ignore the 4th book because it's a shit.

>nofap

>tfw on day 20+
Feels good man.

Horus Heresy.

Nobody gives a shit about your shitty fuckin life you 20000 leagues under the sea mariner wannabe faggot

I just cranked one out and feel good as well.

If you haven't seen Game of Thrones yet, you could try the books. Going off of your LotR picture with that reccomendation by the way. What type of books are you into? You trying to be entertained? Or learn something? Redpilled? Dystopian future sci-fi? Historical non-fiction? Spy thrillers? Or just looking for recs in general?

Sorry, can't find my Sup Forums book rec's picture, but if you have a laptop with you, you could probably burn a few hours in some of these vidya

WHY WOULD THEY HAUL AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER FROM ONE COAST TO ANOTHER THATS FUCKING WASTEFUL THEY CAN SWIM

carrier is probably getting scrapped over in mobile or something, which one is it btw?

Now you're o0M though.

>Nobody gives a shit about your shitty fuckin life
Quit projecting user. Just because even your own mother is starting to not love you anymore, and the rest of the family stopped loving you long ago, doesn't mean random people on a random anime discussion forum board for Politics aren't interested in talking to each other, and recommending entertainment activities to each other. I find it interesting what OP has going on.. Can't fit through Panama.. Aircraft Carriers are bad ass.

Have you considered using this time to learn another language? If not read Mein Kampf.

...

Game of thrones are good books. If you're into fantasy I'd also recommend the wheel of time series or the stormlight archive.

Fag

Dune, foundation series, wheel of time, anything by Tom Clancy is fun

>Game of thrones are good books

Sounds like a cool job user

Test decreases rapidly after day 7, look it up

Damn that sounds like such a good period for hardcore self-improvement on a boat, i'm kind of envious of you.

If you hadn't already you can listen to some G.K. Chesterton while you work out, he's the best Christian apologist imo.

librivox.org/author/426?primary_key=426&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results

My faves are "Whats Wrong with the World", "Heretics" and "Orthodoxy". Love listening to them while doing a hobby.

Librivox has a lot of free audio books, use them while you're working out.

PLEB

Disconnect the carrier one night when nobody's lookin'.. For a laugh.

try these

no it doesn't you twat. Your test doesn't start going down.


What is meant is that the rate at which it rises is decreased because its recharged.


look it up

The Infamous Flashman Papers, six of which have excellent audiobook versions. Think James Bond in the nineteenth century.
Drakon by SM Stirling.
Caliphate by Tom Kratman.
Catastrophic Failure by Stephen Coughlin.
LarryNiven's Man-Kzin Wars.
History of Debt, J is for Junk Economics and Killing The Host by Michael Hudson.
Three Felonies a Day by Larry Silverglate.
The Monkey Wench Gang by Edward Abbey.

its time to do a 360 and walk away

I heard the Nimitz but who knows. People talk a lot of shit.

Well I guess this one's fucked.

I tried to learn Russian awhile back. Spanish as well.

I have no talent for it. Idk how people use gendered languages with all these strange conjugations. It blows my mind.

Already read them.

Wheel of time sounds like a possibility.

I'll check it out. I'm really looking forward to reading the bible again and just really being able to zone out in it and take it in.

I'll see what I can do. Keep an eye out for news about a carrier adrift near Antarctica.

>mfw when I realize years of mediocre grades and frustration and depression were caused because I would jack off 5-6 times a week

post MMC outside pls so I know that there is another like me on here.

Close.

But now ask yourself, why would you jack off so much while others wouldn't?


A lack of discipline and self control. You didn't know any better? No one told you it was a bad habit?

>I will basically be cut off from the outside world for 90 days.
How I envy you.

REEEEE 11/10 GR8 MASTURB8 M8.
What in the hec*, did you fetching say about me, you little female dog?
Sorry user, I feel kind of bad now. I probably hit a little too close to home about your mom not loving you anymore. And the rest of your family actively hating you. Sorry about that bubby. You should jack off while thinking about licking your sisters butthole, while your dad teases you with penetration of your ass. You can see him in the mirror as you look up. His face, staring down at you butthole, while you are in doggy style position, and are licking your sisters pussy (it stinks by the way, like dried up cum[[[most likely from a nigger, a sexy nigger with a six pack abs, and a throbbing, veiny cock that you desire.]]]]) .. (oh and by the way, the black nigger guy is also Jewish)

Right when you and your father make eye contact, he says to you "don't worry son, I'm not going to ram my cock into your bloody cum-stained maggot infested STANK BOOTY HOLE without Lube again."

As you sigh relief, thinking back yesterdays sexcapade you had w/ mom, dad, and gradma (she has wrinkly tits, but you love em, and the smell/taste of her puss) [imagine you are licking ur grandma pussy right this second]. Now everyone reading this is visualling your side burns tickling your grand-mothers inner thighs as you lap your tongue up and down her pussy, savoring every moment of the copper penny taste. Imagining the taste, the smell, your grandmas pussy, JUST before you sit up and stick your dick in your grandma...

Ur father says "Ill use lube" he immediately Donkey Punches you, like the jack ass you are.Imagine, your dads cock sliding in and out of your asshole right now, with no lube, sans blood n cum.

Imagine your dads cockin sliding in, and out of you.. Every last detail, very last pubic hair, his voice...

>Keep an eye out for news about a carrier adrift near Antarctica.

Excellent.

In the interim, you can read:
>Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson
>I, Claudius, by Robert Graves
>The Farseer Trilogy, by Robin Hobb
>Nam, by Mark Baker

Those stick out in my memory, anyway. Enjoy Cape Horn in wintertime.

You immediately flip around as his groans get louder, and you put your fathers cock in your mouth, it tastes like shit.. Like your shit. But you love your dads cock so much you jusst suck away, until your father busts a load on your face.

At which point, you wake up from your dream. And begin to cry. You cry, because your dad already disowned you many years ago, when you tried to suck his cock.

Mainstreem meteor says its natural and harmless

Read the old and new testament. Get ahold of the book of Enoch - the first book only the others are some occult shit and also get the book of Jasher.
Both being referrenced in the bible . Get mad at fallen angels cucking us and prepare to fight them.

damn engineer here what you do?

Slow sea voyage ....large empty ship.. Bring lube and condoms ...because you do Not want to be barebacked raw by your fellow crewman

Engineer.

Hawespiper though. Not an Academy guy. I just got my dde unlimited but I'm studying for my 3rds right now.

I've already given out a lot of info so I'm not gonna get into where I work but. Let's just say I am really glad oils coming back in a big way. This shits been ridiculous.

how do i get a job like u?

well MEBA is basically wide open right now. fucking kids right out of school getting container ships left and right. would be nice to get someone who knows how to turn a wrench than those idiots.

kek wants to know

Where do I apply for these jobs?

Idk how it works in Canada.

But in America.

Step 1. Get TWIC card

Step 2. Get a coast Guard physical (basically a DOT physical)

Step 3. Take that shit and fill out an app to Get a MMC (merchant mariner credential) that should be the same for you but a Canadian MMC

Step 3. Decide if you wanna be an engineer or captain in the long run. If you wanna be a captain get hired as an OS (Ordinary Seaman) somewhere and work your way up. For the engine room route get hired as a "wiper" somewhere and work your way up.

Used to be really easy but Idk if it is anymore. I got a job like nothing when oil was booming. Now it's all fucked up.

But anyway. It is a hard life. The money's good but your personal life is demolished.

Idk what Canada has to offer. Probably not as much oil work offshore as we have. Maybe shipping would be more your thing.

How do i get a job like this? Please help

this post was a work of art created by a beautiful mind

>What are some good books I can download to read out there?

Fiction or non-Fiction?

Flip that pic horizontally, and you got a great "check 'em" pic.

I like fiction but I feel guilty reading it almost. Like I'm wasting my time when I could be learning something.

Canada has nothing to offer. That's the problem.

Thanks for the explanation though. You Americans give me hope.

Stay safe on your travels. Why not download a bunch of movies/tv shows on your laptop?

Metro 2033 - Dmitry Glukhovsky
The Forever War - Joe Haldeman
Under the Sign of the Scorpion - Juri Lina
The White Goddess - Robert Graves
One Second After - William R. Forstchen

4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_Reading/sub

/lit/ wiki has some good stuff

I'd recommend the Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook for starters, if you don't want to go for the classics

Angels in Iron by Nicholas Prata. About the Ottomans getting their shit pushed in at the Siege of Malta. Shit happened in real life that if you saw it in a movie you'd call it unrealistic.

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. All 6 volumes.

>I like fiction but I feel guilty reading it almost. Like I'm wasting my time when I could be learning something.

Even reading fiction helps your diction and vocabulary a lot, as well as exercising your mind. Working all the time isn't great. Relaxing improves productivity too. If you get too tense you don't work as well.

>falling for the nofap jew

Well look into it. I've seen a few Canadians out here. Not sure if they had dual citizenship or what but they had American MMC's.

Canada has a lot of fucking water. I'm sure there are mariner jobs around. Just not oil related.

Yeah. I hear that a lot. Especially MSC. I hear you get status super fast of you work MSC for them. Idk how unions work but I guess it's all about seniority.

But yeah. After 90 days out hopefully I'll have the test licked and get my 3rds and go MSC in a flash.

Oil pays well but your treated like a dog. And at this point the pay isn't really better anyway.

You a hawespiper or academy?

Nice get. Praise be, almighty Kek.

Thanks user.. It was truly a shitpost that only an Australian could appreciate. Top lel.

Me and a friend have been doing that to each other as a running gag for like 15 years now. We text message each other the absolutely most obscene sexual text messages we can think of. Usually involving incest and such. We don't do it often, but, say, I haven't heard or seen my buddy in 5 or 6 months, I will get a text message from him similar to that shitpost I made. Just out of the blue. Ill be at work on my lunch break or something, and just bust up laughing. One of the funniest times was when I took my mate for a loop.. I told him that he had the wrong number, and that I was a 14 year old girl, and I was going to show my (who i told was a police officer) when I got home from school, and that "You are in BIG trouble you sick pervert!" Bhahaha. My friend messaged me on facebook a few minutes after and asked if I got a new number and I told him "yeah man, like about 4 months ago, why whats up?" and he was like "Bro I might be in some trouble... you gotta have my back if the police get involved or we have to go to court" ... I took him for a ride for a few more hours before I let him know that I fooled his ass haha. Good times.

Anyways, Ill stop shitting up the thread with my shitposts. Thanks based Australia.

"The Sword of Truth" series is redpilled as all fuck.

Especially when you get to book 6, "Faith of the Fallen" and Terry Goodking (author) essentially rips Marxism/Communism a fucking new hole.

Note: "Debt of Bones" is a short 100 page prequel story that was written later in the series history. I don't recommend reading it first. Better to get the first two or three books under your belt first.

How do I stop though when I dont have a girl to fuck?

>Don't have a GF, so I fap
>Lose motivation to find a GF
>Lack of energy causes all areas of my life to suffer
>Harder to get a GF
>Fap

The cycle continues

Steve here.

Dave says to read, "The origin of consciousness and the breakdown of the bicameral mind."

Hi Dave.

They break down all the time. Probably going to a ship building yard for retrofitting.

Sometimes when I'm offshore and winding down after watch. I'll be watching a movie or see some hot chick and get hard as fuck.

So I'll decide to jerk off.

But!

I often say to myself "I should brush my teeth first" before I go to bed. So I can crank one out and fall asleep.

Funny thing is though. I rarely ever get around to it after I brush.

It's just a temporary thought user. Literally do anything else for a few minutes and the urge will leave.

And by anything else I obviously mean get off the computer and do something. Don't keep staring at porn and thinking that's gonna help.

Not that jacking off is bad per se. But I'm pretty damn sure porn is.

Read Mistborn, first era, the first trilogy. Then read Warbreaker. Then start on the Stormlight Archives, beginning with Way of Kings, followed by Words of Radiance. Incredibly entertaining and will make you want to improve yourself.

Great recommendation

MSC is crap, go to LA or Jacksonville and you will be out in a few weeks on a decent enough ship. Bit of a warning on LA, stay in Long Beach and take a bus or drive to the MEBA hall, you don't want stay in willmington it's not safe at night.
I started in shipyards after uni and got lucky with the pumpkinheads letting it count day for day. So yeah hausepipe but then I do have a real engineering degree rather than the abortion that is the academy system. Doing port engineer shit these days so no more shitposting from china just to freak people out.

Games on those situations are not bad either
You need to challenge your brain and your decision making a bit

Heart of Darkness
The Jungle Book(s) (the originals by Rudyard Kipling)
Dante's Inferno
The Prince
Don Quixote
The Art of War
War and Peace
Unless you do a lot of reading or you're a quick reader you should be good.

>inb4 Mein Kampf
>inb4 The Communist Manifesto
>inb4 anything by Ayn Rand

Try "I Claudius" and "Claudius the god"

Moron don't suggest an unfinished series 20 years from completion. And wtf suggesting mistborn shit, that is the definition of feminist propaganda.

Most people entirely miss Martin's purpose. The take the immediate presumed meaning, and can't see the infinitely deeper intrigue. It's like Sherlock Holmes realizing on his deathbed that he was wrong about EVERYTHING.

Wtf. Recommending black company hack shit over Malazan book of the fallen? Not even once. If you are reading your first merc book make it the best one.

Recommending wheel of time lmao does your mother strap on a dildo and whip your ass? Literally biggest submissive 4 million words ever written. And it ends in a fucking loop literally at the beginning nothing changes everything is doomed to repeat itself. Deathgates with saangreal are nice tho.

Gareth nix. Is op a twelve year old ranga kid with no friends and takes a fucking key wallet to school? Kys for suggesting such pleb tier shit.

If you want a book about a real badass, read Storm of Steel. Ernst Juenger is metal as fuck.

>In the shelter, I found one lance-corporal and one wounded man, and received the
following report: As the first shells began to land ominously close, four of the five
inhabitants decided to take to the shelter. One of them ran down right away, one of
them stayed in his bed imperturbably, and the other three sat down to pull their boots
on. The most cautious man and the most carefree, as so often in the war, survived, one
of them being quite uninjured, the sleeper receiving a splinter in the thigh, while the
other three were torn apart by the shell that flew through the basement wall and blew
up in the far corner.

>more than 4 times a day

He's taking a tug boat around the panama canal. Who has a job like that anymore? Compared to you, Bob in logistics, he's fuckin Magellan. Learn some manners, cunt.

Maps of Meaning and tell us later what is inside

I've been reading the The Expanse series lately. They're pretty good.

>reading the bible

Kys

3-4 knots round the Horn would see you stuck there forever, wouldn't it?

Check'em

OP, you're a brave soul. See you in Hell when I get there too, Pearl Harbour 2.0.

You could ditch Mein Kampf for a start.

>do not read these dangerous books goy, you don't want to read these do you? that would make you precisely like a nazi and you don't want to be a nazi, goy?

>tfw nofap 2 days and I already woke up to a dream of my highschool crush telling me I can do anything to her that I like

testosterone is one hell of a drug

Y'all hiring?

Already got muh twic and have a few years working for the fed under my belt.

It doesnt "decrease rapidly", your body starts using it for shit instead of needing to replenish it all the time. Hence day 400

....Why are you guys using an ocean going tug to drag an aircraft carrier over to the East coast - Besides "you weren't told why" .... what are your speculations?

Isn't that a little out of the ordinary?

They made a book out of that fucking show? LOL

Robin Hobb is more or less the only fantasy author worth reading imo. Made me tear up twice in one trilogy, only time I've ever done that reading fantasy.

Farseer > Liveship Traders > Tawny Man > Rainwild Chronicles > Fitz & Fool. Ignore the rest of her stuff.

I'd seriously recommend the meditation thing - it's totally changed my life. It's pretty much the psychological equivalent of lifting, and will make you much happier and much more productive. Good entry level authors are Mark Epstein, Joseph Goldstein, Thich Nhat Hanh and Tara Brach. Dan Harris's 10% Happier is a good jumpoff point too, if you have absolutely no clue what meditation actually is. 90 days away from civilization is a pretty awesome way to kickstart a daily practice too.

Anna Karenina
The war against the chtorr
Madame Bovary
All of Jack Kerouac's shit

March of the titans is shite, full of historical inaccuracies

Terry Pratchett never fails to make me cackle like a madman. Love that guy, great writer.
