Discussion on Saturday
ITT: Post about what kind of Sup Forums-related books you are reading and Sup Forums-related activities you are doing to help yourself live closer to the ideal of your political ideology.
Been reading the book and watched the movie last night.
I wouldn't have checked out the book were it not for the club and it's definitely worth a read.
Ryan Moore
I'm rereading it now.
It's pretty neat overall how people are so based around pride.
Jonathan Kelly
Yeah, I've already been trying some of the advice.
IIRC my dad used to have a copy and it's made me rethink some of the conversations I had with him over the past few years
Angel Peterson
Heard a lot about the book, never really got into it. I will give it a try in a coupl of days.
Cameron Reed
My impression was always that it was a self-help book so I was dismissive of it. As have been the people around me when I first start talking about it.
It's actually pretty well-based in psychology and I don't regret reading it
Anthony Martinez
Why not commit suicide? You're never going to make something of yourself.
Gavin Barnes
Oh,and it goes without saying just how beautiful the movie is.
The book and movie go hand-in-hand because you need to realize there is a world outside of your interests
it's an easy to digest read. I have a link to a google doc of the book in the discord if you're interested
Zachary Perez
tl;dr have more white babies and stop being so soft
Christopher Lopez
>That quote
Aaron Bell
One of my goals is to get married in my late 20s and have 4 children
I was listening to Stefan Molymeme the other day and he mentioned how mothers raise good kids but fathers make good adults.
It's another reason to self-improve.
A world without traditionalism is a world where no one is fulfilled.
Hudson Bennett
yup, same.
my ex-gf was a good catholic girl from a family of 8
I'm gonna try and go for 4 minimum as well
Andrew Price
Where do I find quality girls? Only church?
I keep hearing a lot about how unwilling most millennials are to commit to relationships now because they can just get relationship simulators (tinder, FWBs, etc.)
Jackson Reed
Be careful about looking for women at a church, most big churches are going to be full of fairly loose women
John Cruz
so then where do I find quality qts?
Joseph Richardson
Small towns, stay away from the cities. Find a girl from a decent family who wants to be a mother. They do exist.
Wyatt Adams
Dosent have to be at church, I like going to book stores, youll find girls who are shy and qt and not retards
My ex-gf was pretty redpilled. I'm 21 and she was 18 when we met. Holocaust denier and redpilled on white genocide.
Just have hobbies and dedicate yourself to anything worthwhile.
Aiden Green
>tfw lost 12 lbs this week
Jace Wright
this too, small town girls are better. Ask for fun when you first start talking if she'd ever have kids
I think I had asked my ex within like 2-3 weeks if she ever planned to have kids
Alexander James
Interesting.
So go to niche locations to find traditional women? Specifically targeting shy women?
I don't watch anime, but what about animecons?
congratulations
Gabriel Bailey
Veganism/veggie is the ultimate self-improvement

(VE = veggy) (V = vegan) (B = both).
>(VE) protection against cardiovascular diseases, cardiometabolic risk factors, some cancers and total mortality (1) >(V) the above benefits and additional protection from obesity, hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and cardiovascular mortality (1) >(VE) Improved glycemic control in T2 Diabetes (2) >(V) significantly lower risk for overall cancer (3, 5) >(VE) lower risks for diabetes, diverticular disease and eye cataracts (4) >(B) less likely to suffer from hypertension (5) >(VE) better metabolic profile (6) >(B) lower anxiety (7) >(VE) less negative emotions, improved mood (8, 9) >(V) alleviates symptoms of Osteoarthritis (10) >(V) healthier gut microbiota profile with more anti-inflammatory and disease-preventing microbiota (11) >(VE) improves insulin resistance (12) >(VE) reduces oxidative stress and improves the bodies anti-oxidant status (12, 13, 14) >(V) half as much risk for developing hyperthyroidism (15)
Like the book of the week says, you should always try to have interest in them as a person when you get to know them
Great job
Nathan Murphy
Thats a bit much, unless you're 200 over weight, then keep up the good work.
Robert Collins
go post this shit in r9k
fuck off
Elijah Turner
I'd imagine a bit of it is just water weight. You lose a lot of weight when you first start eating at a deficit because of water weight loss
Christian Reyes
women who watch anime are generally anxiety ridden wrecks begging for any attention they can get
idk man my gfs have been mostly nerdy type girls. my last gf was in her schools marching band and she was a math whiz who did calc for fun
Im a retard at math but maybe try a chess club or something similar
Christian Bennett
Even if it interests you, stay far FAR away from cons
>Source, go to ECCC every year
Benjamin Murphy
do not confuse nerdy with "geek" girls
geek culture is materialistic trash and so are the girls in my experience
Bentley Hernandez
this
they attract attention whores who like neckbeards drooling at them
Colton Gray
>HURR EAT GRASS, GUYS! DOMN'T HURT THE CUTE ANIMALS!
This is the cancer that is plagueing our society! Meat has helped huans evolve from primates to what we are today. It has helped our brains becomre bigger and more functunal. THe human is a carnivore just look at it's teeth. But after thousands of yers some pople that live in a well-supplied part of the world start thinking that having the diet of a cow is great??? If this is some bain then congratulations you achieved what you were after!
TL;DR- DON'T EAT GRASS! YOU ARE NOT A GIRAFFE!
Elijah Phillips
shoo shoo merchant
men need meat for testosterone
eat beef, pork and chicken
Nicholas Price
I'm going to shill again for The Way of Men.
If you guys are leaning towards monarchy or any general variant of hierarchy, this can help articulate your thoughts.
Even putting that aside, if you're interested in the concept of tribalism or why the concept of having a 'gang' is so pervasive, it helps put it together.
Noah Anderson
Is something wrong with me if I don't mind gore?
Levi Thompson
I'm trying to find the best way to have constant, affordable and healthy energy.
I've finally got my shit together, about to get a huge promotion at my job, but I'm always extremely tired when I come home and simply can't do anything those nights, which is shitty.
I'm just really not sure which things are real science, and which are meme science to push a current dietary agenda.
Tried that MCT oil coffee shit, and honestly, it tastes good but I still felt hungry after and you're supposed to not eat with it. I want to get away from caffeine though and just have natural energy.
Jaxson Parker
thanks guys
im assuming is right, its what i figured
Gabriel Howard
Can anyone please help me... any advice that's not ''kys'' will do.
How do I deal with a broken spirit? I'm 28 years old, have had at least 3 very different jobs (bricklayer, taxi manager, bartender).
I'm currently hopeless. Bartender is my current job, it doesn't pay well and causes me a lot of stress because it's at a shitty area of my city and I'm constantly threatened, have to deal with drunkards etc.
Thing is, I've tried many different paths in my life and none of them led anywhere...
Call me a faggot, but seeing all of the corruption I see daily, kids using drugs, prostitution, people being gunned down, having my house broken into etc has really worn me down to a level where I don't want to even get up from the bed.
I'm hopeless, my spirit is broken. When I was younger it seemed like nothing could stop me, but now I feel extremely vulnerable and insecure about everything.
Kevin Cruz
I tried listening to Way of Men once on audiobook.
It didn't seem all that great but I'll read it when it comes up in the book club and see how it feels as a whole
Logan Lewis
perhaps get your testosterone levels checked
otherwise eat a big breakfast. Carbs give you your main energy throughout the day.
Elijah Morris
I'll shill for the discord here but honestly, if you can, you might want to talk to a psychiatrist
Oliver Lewis
Consider Jordan Peterson's self authoring program. It will change your life.
Watch his lectures on YouTube too.
Lincoln Evans
On days when I'm not working, I can easily have the energy to do everything I need to and more.
My job is pretty demanding physically though, and I'm walking 7-15 miles a day, depending on time of year.
Everything I've been reading says to avoid heavy carbs in the morning due to the crashes, and large breakfasts tend to cause a crash as well.
Just don't know what to believe
Luke Young
>How to Win Friends and Influence People Once while riding a train, a kid came up to me, sat next to me and tried to talk to me. I kind of saw that he had this book in his bag, but still he was pretty horrible at the whole thing. Well, at least he practiced. My advice is, learn that everyone is different, but there are still some things that are common for people of a specific type. For example when you see someone with a linux laptop, programming, and want to do the whole thing, don't try to talk about linux or programming when you don't have a deep understanding. Try to find something that this type of person might enjoy. Maybe sci-fi, or vidya or beer. Discuss something that you are good at discussing.
Henry Turner
That's pretty good, people usually are also super-willing to tell somebody about something they're interested in.
So instead of trying to talk to somebody about Linux, tell them you're trying to get into Linux and ask if they can help you.
Nolan Hill
Fix your diet and your relationships 1st, bad food fucks up the brain chemistry, and bad people fuck everything up, I'm in a similar situation, pick up a marketable skill and perfect it, create multiple streams of income.
You're a bartender no, use it to make connections, read how to influence people and build a network, try to move into more upper class bars where rich connected people hang out to build better networks, write what you learn/experience bartending on a blog, online stuff tends to act as a proof of concept, people will take you seriously if they can see what you're capable of.
I made a GitHub and uploaded a few programs to it, nothing special just simple 200 line stuff, but sure as shit better than 90% of the competition in my country. Its the only reason I even get any calls from interviewers considering my shit experience and shit grades. Good luck.
Jace Butler
big breakfasts are helpful for me
I have my best lifting energy after eating a huge breakfast.
Just give it a try and see what happens.
Adam Nguyen
I guess it doesn't hurt to give it a try...
Thank you.
Daniel Bailey
>write what you learn/experience bartending on a blog, online stuff tends to act as a proof of concept, people will take you seriously if they can see what you're capable of.
I never actually thought of that. I do have some free time here and there which I could use with this.
Thanks for the tips m8.
Also if you don't mind me asking - why is programming a ''thing'' with Indians?
I ended up meeting like, 5 or 6 indian guys when I was doing taxi work and all of them were programmers.
Justin Mitchell
That can work, but in my case it didn't. I was just slightly annoyed, since he could just google all of this. (I was annoyed before I had seen the book, and knew why he was doing that) And I think that might be a common thing around programmers who tend to be a bit elitist. I think something like, "please tell me, or teach me about xyz" is something that should be left for a different, later phase, after maybe some emotional bonding. Try to find something enjoyable first (establishing a good mood), and then move on to something "more like a job", like programming.
Sebastian Roberts
Life is suffering man. Everyone suffers, it's inevitable.
You have to pick up your suffering and bear it.
Try your best to be good in little ways and your life will improve bit by bit.
wish you best of luck
Mason Wright
>I think I had asked my ex within like 2-3 weeks if she ever planned to have kids
That's a little quick to be bringing up kids, user. Even women don't typically jump the gun that fast.
Thomas Morris
Honestly I think it's best to show interest in other people's hobbies. Ask me about guns and I'll talk your fucking ear off. Ask my dad about cars and you'll get the same. Act interested during the conversation? You now have friend.
Carson Myers
I like to work out just before dinner
Coming home and eating a big plate of spaghetti or a giant juicy steak is true joy
Aiden Evans
A lot of people take pride in their job-like things, and like to talk about it, but not necessarily unconditionally. You have to first establish the right atmosphere.
Agreed.
Angel Wood
It's an innocent question and if you're casual about it no one will bat an eye. Just bring it up if she's talking about her siblings or something.
Colton Hill
>I wouldn't have checked out the book without this neat reddittier thread Are you legitimately 12? It's one of the most popular self help books in the entire world
Carson Hernandez
Who /lifts/ here?
What are your stats?
Levi Howard
Atmosphere is also pretty subjective, the more socially awkward somebody is the more you have to loosen them up
Gabriel Barnes
imo, the easiest place to practice small talk is the gym
talk about lifting
Brody Watson
Ohp/135x3x3 Bench/225x12x3 Squat/315x5x3 Pull ups/8x3 Push/pull/legs At least one of the above every day. Not making fast progress, but not losing my gains either. 15-20 mins tops a day.
Jayden Wood
Programming isn't a thing, get a job the easy way is. 99% of programmers I've met are insults to the world of programming, only reason I don't horribly suck is cause I learn exclusively from tutorials/sites made by white guys. Plus I have very good English compared to most people here.
Getting into computer science is easy here. Everything is rote memorization and since our country's syllabus doesn't have too much complex math its even better for people who hate math. Same goes for women too, we usually have a M/F 50/50 or 60/40 sex ratio in CS(in big cities not some remote village), since women are dumb and the syllabus is so shit even they can clear it.
Another thing is the outsourcing industry has a choke hold on the economy
They make around 8% of the country's GDP directly and even more by acting as a customer base for other non-IT businesses like e-commerce and fast food, so this means there just aren't a lot of jobs on other sectors considering they're all dependent on IT to expand larger than the IT sector, so it only makes sense to go into "coding" if you can call it that.
The people you met would have been from some outsourcing firm like TCS/Infosys/Wipro/Accenture. They're the reason people like me can't make full use of my potential since all work I do is stuff white guys were deemed too expensive to do.
Also check'em, kek has spoken. My advice is right.

This, but you'll learn along the way to be careful and how to keep your interest in check. Otherwise you'll have people try to convert you to their cult, crazy people following you to keep talking at you, or have gay men think you're interested in the dick.

Seems a bit much; if you're starving yourself it wont work in the end
Jason Garcia
they don't get removed, they just aren't too active and 404
this whole discord thing is only a few days old and I'm still trying to make it into a 'community'
Ethan Rodriguez
Everyone start joining the discord! Now!!
Carson Gray
i hope one day i can banepost irl like those guys on HWNDU
William Russell
I just want to find some redpilled bros IRL and form a "gang" like in that book and get up to some hijinks like if the HWNDU flag was nearby we'd be part of it and we'd help eachother find decent chicks.
Zachary Harris
I read Generation Identity, kinda disappointing. Weak shit.
