Hey Sup Forums,
Recently I've decided to stop most if not all degenerate things in my life.
These include:
Smoking,
Fast Food,
Soda,
and Pornography.
So far I'm 3 weeks or so into it. I think quitting Soda and Fast food was harder than smoking for myself.
What are you doing to curb degeneracy?

>stop degeneracy
>stay on Sup Forums
There may be some degenerate things on Sup Forums but that doesn't mean that Sup Forums is degenerate.
Stop abstaining and simply go on Sup Forums. then you can live however you want without feeling bad about yourself
I didn't feel bad about myself before.
But now that I've quit all of these I feel 100% better.
Good for you, user, keep it up.
I don't watch porn, started to eat healthy again and doing exercises. Started to write and keep closer contacts to my loved ones, also.
this fkn quote is not from Thucydides you uncultured burger
"The nation that will insist on drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards."
Sir William Francis Butler

Good for you mate.
Found the pic on Sup Forums never bothered looking it up. I do read about a book or so a week.
I'm Giving up none of those things. I enjoy them all far too much!
typical paddy
Degeneracy is all-encompassing, but we aren't perfect. So many things are degenerate, and it's best to prioritize quitting certain things that are more degenerate than others.
I wouldn't recommend trying to quit anything unless its something you're excited and want to do.
no pr0n
no smoking
no fast food or soda
eating healthy
good relations with close family
working on stopping drinking (i do it on weekends anyway now so its not bad as it was)
doing nofap may to train willpower
will start to exercise
4/10
still not sorted
but its not so bad
whats up with all these compulsive degeneracy threads?? Grow up and learn to do shit without feeling bad, being aware that shit is terrible for you is great but if you let yourself get dragged down by decisions, you will end up going crazy.
that denial
that newfaggotry
git out
Good for you user. Feel any better yet?
There are plenty of shit you can do that isn't harmful to you or to someone else.
Just because we don't want to do all these "Fun" things means we feel bad...
not really
but it builds up character, it does
and its more of a foundation
i rather think about my life and existence being all sorted out with clear mind than laying in a dich in drunken stupor shitting my pants
im fixing the house from bottom up
could you make your statement more precise ? or illustrate it
Humans are hypersocial creatures, peer pressure, approval and advice is extremely important. Not everyone is lucky to have a wise and experienced person in their life to hand them the practical wisdom of living a good life, and figuring out everything by yourself is fucking difficult.
Keep up the good work. I'm doing a bit of the same thing.
Is there a reason you flipped your life around recently?
That pic pretty much sums up America
...
I train a lot, Muay Thai and BJJ. I did some Kyokushin and some Judo as well.
I'm teaching myself what I can about investing and finance. "Impose my will upon reality" kind of stuff...
i think age has a lot to do with it
but i think its just "material fatigue" mostly. I just realized that with my health problems left and right i might not manage to get "all my answers" on time before i hit the bucket, and even if i do i didn't really live my life at all... so now i will sacrifice certainty but at least i will know i tired. Its either this or a dich..
then the Peterson, NoFap(cancer but anons there are alright) and redpill or selfimprovement threads start poping up so with solitude, exclusion and boredom, i stopped ignoring these. this leads to more focused outlook
i like it
Stopped smoking cannabis, was easy.
I eat fast food from time to time, though not as before.
Soda, been years since I stopped. Replaced it with drinking water.
My only one is Porn, but I am forcing myself. I saw a video yesterday and the day before. But before that it was 4 days, but the urge just fucking came.
I will stop watching porn.
sounds "degenerate" as fuck mate, why did you started to train martial arts?
is it self responsibility and compassionate "will", or you end up sacrificing children to moloch?
>no fap
>no drink
>no smoke

>don't write people off, stay in touch with family/friends as much as possible

>read more
>don't watch tv or at least avoid all the basic cable crap ruining the US
>exercise and take care of hygiene
basically become a pseudo-amish without the cult lol
lolwut
I guess being lazy and unathletic is kind of degenerate, right?
And on the other hand, being in public without 100% motherfucking confidence is basically greasy-neckbeard-Sup Forumstard tier
>Also, start reading
I've had a hard time reading anything substantial in my entire life because as soon as I "scan" through something with more than a few paragraphs it's like I instantly forget what I just read. WTF is wrong with me?
Quote fact checked and confirmed.
Another translation goes:
For the majority, to be educated is to be a coward, and to be strong is to be a fool.
If a man does not appreciate the importance of both knowledge and strength, he is condemned to be a coward or a fool.
Ancient language can be tricky. But he most certainly said something along those lines.

>What are you doing to curb degeneracy?
Work hard and provide for my family. Don't willingly pay neither the kike nor the mudslime tax (don't buy stuff branded kosher or halal) and certainly don't willingly have anything to do with parasite people at all.
Goal, I should probably drink less. For my health. I am not 'that guy' you know, the drunk father figure. But if I want to be a healthy granddad, maybe even great granddad. Then drinking less would probably be a good idea.
You're just stupid, user.
sounds boring as fuck
Definite possibility, but I seem to have everyone else fooled.
you don't practice enough
that's like trying to lift weights and wondering why you can't hold them up a long time
>triple 7s
Keep less tabs open and you'll eventually get used to staying focused.
Yeah, but it will make you feel better. Also don't take it literally to a 'T' 24/7, some rules are made to be broken on special occasions, which keeps them special.
>Canadian telling us what is and isn't degenerate
Nothing in my life had bring me more fun than staying in touch with people that I never hated.
You can do it user. Just need to want it. Good luck
Good job user. Keep up the good work.
Drinking is something i'm working on too. It's really hard because it's just what all of my friends do when we do anything together.
cut out degenerate people from your life
do not meet degenerate people
cut out all video games
cut out sugary foods and drinks
cut out lots of carbs (small amount is okay)
cut out television (this is the 1st thing lol)
cut out porn
cut out nigger music/rap music/nigger crooning
stop buying jeans, jeans used to be ONLY for work until jews got into the jeans business with levi jeans. Some jews charge hundreds for jeans.
Read easy fiction books until you are reading everything and understanding it.
fiction isn't fucking redpilled
gtfo outta here with that
fiction leads to shit like star trek and star wars and harry potter and all that SHIT
Most important thing is to let your anger guide your actions. The reason why those things are degenerate is because they provide instant comfort that buries your anger and converts it into sadness and self-hatred. As long as you have your shit together and your anger in order, there is never any reason to "give up" your degenerate behavior because your body will never turn to it. That being said, weed is a powerful tool for the spirit and I don't consider it degenerate in itself aside from it being used as I mention.
>Drinking is something i'm working on too. It's really hard because it's just what all of my friends do when we do anything together.
same, then I moved to CO to get away from it and have a lot more opportunity to be active and avoid it. As a former alcoholic, it's still so engrained into modern society that it makes social interactions and dating difficult. Weed culture helps surprisingly since they are less likely to shove it down your throat, imo
Maybe you should move?
Reading fiction develops empathy. As well as developing your reading comprehension with entertaining stories. Relax user.
>star trek
>degenerate
only if you watch it unironically
>Reading fiction develops empathy.
Hence all the harry potter SJWs faggots.
All of those harry potter SJW's have probably read only a handfull of books and only because they were popular at the time.
I'm willing to bet they're not reading more than 5 books a year.
how old are you ?
deciding that you had enought of degenaracy is an amazing progress already, and probably the hardest part of your journey
Oh and stop buying frivolous shit that has no meaning to you, if you don't use something fairly regularly, get rid of it.
>stop buying jeans, jeans used to be ONLY for work until jews got into the jeans business with levi jeans. Some jews charge hundreds for jeans.
Well, I'm a blue collar man. I'm dont feel comfortable in those flimsy Italian style clothing things.
I do wear clothes that lives up to the WAF on occasion (when it's the proper thing to do)
At work it's dungarees or 'boiler suit'.
Casual is jeans. But not (((brand))) ones. I don't think I own a pair that cost more than 15 bucks ('murican).
Should I still work on that? Doesn't really seem like a degeneracy issue to me.
I don't disagree, but so much of their feels relate back to harry potter. It's an extreme case that supports your point.
Yeah, they probably have too much empathy with too little critical thinking skills imo.
exactly
>WAF
I don't know jack about clothing and style, what is considered nondegenerate clothing for a modern male and what is this WAF?
what the fuck does that mean?
leonary nimoy is a jew
the vulcan gesture is a jewish gesture symbol
william shatner is a jew
sulu is a faggot
dumb black bitch in the background
a russian communist
flying through space and fucking up soceities with their jewish interfering
>flying through space and fucking up soceities with their jewish interfering
/thread
Takes notes while you read, and try to summarize the main ideas of the book, those you want to remember, on a piece of paper and keep it.
you can't appropriate an idea if you can't formulate it properly
blue jeans are meant for blue collar work
it's cool, try not to buy jew brands like levi
business people should not be fucking wearing jeans, its a jew fashion designed to increase sales.
I will only own a pair of jeans for lawn/labor work
>what is this WAF?
Wife acceptance factor.
It's not only the kids who shivers when they hear the words "you are NOT going dressed like THAT" (now hear those words in your mothers voice if you are young, or your wife's if you are married old-fag)
1. Thucydides never said that.
2. that's not a statue of thucydides
...
Top kek
I found the pic on Sup Forums and never checked it but this user says its legit.
Very true. See military men versus the country's "defense ministers"
Didn't check the statue.
But the quote is legit. Different translations, but all along those lines.
I stopped eating fast food and started cooking everyday. I actually like cooking and make some really good food. Its also much healthier. On top of that I haven't had soda in months. Im a shipbuilder and with the summer coming up Ive decided to drink only water, and a lot of it to help prepare for the heat. I have to say I feel much better after just 2 months.
I want to quit smoking, and it is something I am working on. Hopefully one day I can curb that.
You're doing well user. If you want my tip on quiting smoking, take vitamin C and just do it. Cold turkey. Don't pussy foot around just stop.
Wasting your time sitting in front of a computer self-gratifying yourself on memes perceived ethnic or national superiority is inherently degenerate. Just so you're aware.
I don't smoke but I gave up soda (mostly) and I don't feel much different but my jawline is much more chiseled. I'm convinced even if you're diet is good and you exercise your face will still look fat if you drink that poison regularly. I don't think I could give up fast food, partially because I'll lose weight if I do. I don't really watch porn when I have a gf but no gf so I watch mattress actresses instead
What friends? I can't meet a single person who's not a degenerate. In every group I'm in, I never feel I belong to it. I feel I am always the Jew subverting its norms towards something a bit less degenerate. When the immediate reason for me to belong to the group disappears, then I drift apart from the people within it.
If you are surrounded by degenerates, you're kill.
nice straw there mate, never mind tho i joked around so got shit answer, fair enough
what i meant is that training martial arts because you want to "impose" your will on the world is degenerate, martial arts are a tool
the question had nothing to do with physical fitness, im worrying about your mental wellbeing user
28, still young enough but on the precipice of adulthood, that why im saying that age probably has a lot of to to with it, you can only take enough redpills before...
This isn't Sup Forums - (you) seem to be lost. Just delete the pol bit in the url in your browser, and replace it with a simple b
And you'll be right back home
Providing support for others and well as expressing ones ideas isn't quite the same as wasting time.
At what point did I express ethnic or national superiority?
>cut out degenerate people from your life
>do not meet degenerate people
I try to do this. It only ensures that you have no friends.
If you have no friends, you don't network and you lose on many opportunities, as most jobs and such are found through them.
he is kind of right tho, Sup Forums was always a pit of filth, meme's and political circlejerking
its not Sup Forums but its close enough i mean look at your own post
Sounds like you're a little upset at having the truth thrown in your face. A natural reaction.
pol is a spiritual nexus
the only people i can get along with are the people on Sup Forums
im not kidding.
of course even then it's usually only the ameribros, australians, russians, and japs.
yeah, spiritual nexus of filth, memes and political circlejerk
and i would change a bit in here
Can we link "stopping degeneracy" to "becoming more antifragile"?
>When people or systems are antifragile, there’s more upside than downside when Black Swan events occur. Antifragile systems feed on chaos and uncertainty like a primordial god.

user you're projecting.
You're the one comming into this thread making baseless claims.
WOULN'T*
i would NOT change anything
never change Sup Forums, never change
Well, we have to discard our spiritual filfth somewhere. The jews have really muddied the waters over the last century.
>What are you doing to curb degeneracy?
Absolutely nothing. Degeneracy is literally everything I like in life. My raison d'etre if you will.
We strive to constantly improve ourselves, here you are advocating giving up at the gate right before the race has even started. Pathetic
You know what they say
>Any community that gets its laughs from pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots whom mistakenly believe that they're in good company.
holy crap so sad.
relentlessly shilling the truths of gay marriage
(IE that it works, and you're a moron if you don't want gays to be less promiscuous and settle down)
learning how to be a good home maker.
studying on how influence and other social manipulations work.
I pretty much don't do any of what op does except porn.
holy shit what a degenerate.
The idea to cleanse Sup Forums to an ultra pure political thing has been raised, still in the works.'
General opinion seems to be. No. Why, the place gets boring and dies if it's purely political debate. Therefore, room for more, within limits. As for the circle jerking I suppose you are referring to refusal to pay kosher/halal tax.
And I have to tell you. (you) don't know how bad it's gotten. I've been to Ireland, and so far you are no where near suffering the invasion us continentals have to deal with
There will come a time where you'll want to be free of your vices.
I'm not saying you're less of a person but you will eventually want freedom from objects that control you.
aah, we are in agreement on that score then
You sound a lot like I do.
It took me a while but you sort of have to accept that everyone is different, came from different backgrounds and experiences and therefor may not think the same way you do. That doesn't mean your way of life is necessarily the right way or a better way, but it is as different to them as they are to you. Learn from them and try to figure out why they are the way they are, as it is likely you will encounter others later in life on similar paths. Judging others will get you no where but loneliness, as it assumes you are better than them in some way that was never in your control to begin with. You may not agree with the way they think at every moment, you may not agree with their choices, but keeping an objective mind will keep you open to the possibility that you are wrong on some things, and that you may in fact have things to learn from them just as much as they do you.
>That doesn't mean your way of life is necessarily the right way or a better way
You're wrong here buddy. Please think critically.
Not doing any drugs
Reading a lot
Not drinking pop and switching t tea and water
Lifting 5 times a week
TO DO:
Quit Porn
Quit Fast food
I'm sure I have some sort of dependency on masturbation and I don't know what to do
>fiction
>pol
>not a waste of time
>any diferencee with tv crap
>I've been to Ireland, and so far...
that's true, but we are getting there
trust me
i don't like the whole idea of containment board, never works, also we already have /news/ board online again and its basically /pol2.0/, ironic to be honest
pol is popular because no one likes feeling this truth. they prefer the death rattle of polarization and fervor.
