Cable cutting - Minimalism

This is an idea that seems to be gaining traction across young men and one that I'm considering. Consider it the next evolution of no-fap.

I have wiped my stash of video games from all drives. I will be living on my own beginning next month. All that is left is to destroy the router and all home connection to the internet.

Access to the useful parts of the internet won't be entirely lost as there is still public wifi through libraries, fast food joints, etc., but ability to interface with the web privately will be gone. This means no capacity for video games, porn, clickbait binge, or other forms of unlimited brain-fog-inducing electronic entertainment.

How can we sate our social needs in this situation? At the moment many of us rely on message boards and chat programs to do so.

sounds like a miserable fucking existence tbqh

this, literaly living like some china robot

All this will accomplish is making you hate humanity even more, as you'll be alone and eventually driven to madness.

Do you think everybody living before the advent of the internet was some miserable robot? I see the opposite.

tried this before, didn't work. just control your time on the internet, there are programs you can get that disable certain sites or even internet, seems like going this far is a little unnecessary.

To the contrary, it's a pledge to remove yourself from isolation.

This. Unfortunately this is the world we live in now; you'll go crazy without human connection. You have to try and strike a balance. Ditch any social media, though. If you can do that your happiness will increase 1000 fold without having to turn into a hermit.

No, but again just cuting internet wont make you less prone on distractions.

Also you need to have some positive feedback in your life (AKA FUN) or you will end up in depresion town.

But I see this more of a self controll problem. Like here we say vodka is for people, but some people arent made for vodka.

This, if you can't self manage your lifestyle at home, you are probably going to fail in the work force anyway.

Why didn't it work for you?

How can you self control when your "next fix" is in your room, in your pocket, floating through the goddamn air around you? The internet is everywhere.

No TV (including things like Netflix), no porn, and no social media is all you really need to do, however I wish you luck in your experiment.

>watches so much porn he thinks deleting video games and cutting his internet will help
Why don't you just stop being such a tremendous faggot?

This is a process of self management. The same way a fat man on a diet empties his fridge of shit food.

you have a serious problem if you cant live with technology normally withouth destroying everything you own

Why the fuck not ? As long as you can execute some kind of self controll its not a problem.

Yea because in japan theres nothing else to livr for you pathetic excuse of a human being

What the hell do you think I am doing here. Is a crack junkie cutting contact with his dealer self control? What would you call it?

Can I watch sports?

Runing away and beeing weak shit that will break at first given occasion.

Quited smoking 14 years ago, on a whim and could even survive siting next to smokers or people offering me a cig.

If you have no guts to fight your bad habbits locking yourself out is delaying ultimate failure. Work on yourself first.

I've thought about doing something similar once a month.

>Get my hands on a 1970-Now national geographic collection
>VHS tape collection of the classics
>Disconnect my phone from wifi and data only SMS and voice calls
>No need to destroy anything because I'm not autistic
>Enjoy a couple of months living like its 1993 again

Go play sports instead.

I'm happy for you but not everybody has the same capability. You quit smoking but millions continue to smoke like a chimney. You're the exception in this case.

I also imagine you didn't carry a pack of smokes with you everywhere you went.

No I was hanging out with smoking friends that were tottal assholles. Smoking in my presence and pushing smokes on me.

Get some fucking spine you maggot. Be a man and learn to be responsible.

Fucking generations of pussified males without guts, reason and dedication.

If you even ironically call yourself a GAYmer or anime fapper in this day in aged you seriously need to fucking

so you will literally start living under a stone ?

What if I'm 10?

Life was better before the "24/7 constant internet era " though,so you're wrong. It's destroyed our relationships with each other and cheapens life.
You guys should look into "dirty electricity". I had severe health problems: heart problems and general achy joints etc. and felt lethargic 24/7. I visited friends in Alaska ,who only had a basic electrical setup, and I weirdly felt 100% better!! I heard this interview on the radio about dirty electricity and it all snapped into place.
>Skip ahead 1 year

All the meters and boxes and everything are now in my detached garaged 100 feet away from the house with a small buried tube coming to the house and all of my health problems are GONE. It cost about 2k to do this and have everything in the house shielded . You can buy "dirty electricity filters" too,which are cheap.


My friends think I'm batshit crazy for not having wifi or a cell [ I keep one for emergencies but don't text or anything] but honestly you don't need that shit. You'd be amazed how much you cut back on the internet just by having a computer in only one or 2 specific rooms. What are you really missing? Instant answers to meaningless questions?!


I check the news a couple times a day to see how they're lying to people and to catch any breaking news . I skype with family and friends pretty frequently but why do I need an app on my cell to do when I'm out? You dont. I dont.
Why do I need internet on my hip when I'm outside in the garden or playing with my daughter in the yard? I don't.

So what you're doing has actualy health benefits. I can't imagine what it does to your brain long term.Not to mention the damage porn and media propaganda does.

The internet issue is private, it's what we do in the isolation of our own homes with no limit or physical barrier to use it infinitely.

Did you carry a pack of smokes with you everywhere you went? In your home?

I just spend a week completely away from the Internet.
Travel a little.

>t. country where no one has kids anymore and South-Koreans have to be imported to keep the birth rate over 1.0

>You guys should look into "dirty electricity". I had severe health problems: heart problems and general achy joints etc. and felt lethargic 24/7.

I didn't know Charles McGill browsed Sup Forums.

You are just trying to find excuses for your weakenss.

Man the fuck up and learn to behave like responsible grown up.

There is time for games and fun if you know how to controll your life.

If not you will lead sad lousy existence.

This is funny!!

I put a few thousand movies on MDISC [ which are said to last for hundreds of years because they're basically stone-like] last year so I'll have movies forever.

My brother works for a film preservation company and had a bunch of dvds with digital copies on them. Dont even need torrenting haha.Took forever copying them but worth it.I also found a ton of free old movies on archive.org .

you realize human connection means visiting humans, not facebook, right?

Hahaha thats a good one.
10/10. Brava!

Talk to people like a non beta normal human being

But otherwise solid plan

Let's take your smoking analogy at face value here: you quit smoking. How did you do it? Did you carry a pack of smokes with you everywhere you went?

It's a nice and easy platitude to say you did it with responsibility and being a grown up, but plenty of responsible and grown men are overtaken by their vices. There needs to be strong intervention, and it can't only come from within. We need to put physical as well as mental barriers in place.

I hate all this cellphone and internet addiction- overstimulated shit (yes yes Im' posting on the interbuts to complain about the interbuts how ironic yadd yadda yawn)
Seriously think sometimes I should just quit it for a month see what happens. For starters at least I'm not on normiebook or anything.

Be a man dammit

Also vidya games are ok if they donr control you

Get a N64 and invite over 3 friends for golden eye, super smash bros, mario kart 64, mario tennis or wayne gretskys 3d hockey etc

Fucking this, latley I only play some OW if firends are online and on voice comms. Hell any crap game is x20 better when you play with friends.

Another indication (((they))) are fighting a losing battle and real truth isn't built with textbooks and loans from your parents

Agreed.

>wants to quit smoking
>literally carrying everywhere I go
you need a smoking related Darwin award my friend

tfw you have a crimping tool and you know how to fix UTP cables

why? you're gonna die someday. what are you trying to prove? and who are you trying to prove it to? like it fucking matters

Dude. You just have to cut back on internet usage. It's not that hard. But your real problem is that you probably have no life.

instead of destroying the best tool for self-improvement, learn to exercise self-control, and avoid shitty games and shitty sites.

that would acctualy require long term effort, something OP is unable to execute

All the more power to you user. You are going to have to put effort into everything to cure your boredom though but I guess that's the point.

You should go cold turkey in the beginning in order to break the conditioning. The internet can be a great tool for self-improvement, but it's also a great tool for degeneracy. You need to reset your psychological associations or you WILL fall to them. Three months should be more than enough time.

Yes, I should clarify that this is actually the plan. Sort of a 'reset' button. I am not denying the utility of the internet for good or the necessity of having a good time.

His friends carried his pack of smokes for him, and slavs usually hang out pretty often with friends.

HAM radio.
But this is not viable if you ever get a real job, nevermind the fact that in cucknada, you have to rely on online ordering for damn near every meaningful purchase.

That's what I said dingus

How pathetic are you people that you try and gain control of your life, and be alpha by doing exactly what other people tell you to do, things that have never shown any reproducible positive effects, and not just that , but then taking it to the extreme. nofap is the new no gluten diet. If you dont spend hours every day fapping, there's no reason to do no fap, if you dont spend $100 every night on porn there is no reason to do noporn. If you have a problem with wasting time on the internet, install a filter that limits the websites to waste time on to only 1h a day or something, if you arnt calling in sick to work to stay home and platy WOW, you are alwded to play a couple of minutes of games every day.

But thats too hard for you right? you would rather get rid of everything so that you can sit in a ball on your bed going 'fuck uyaw, look how much I game up, look how much im inconveniencing myself, im so amazing!'

Masturbation every now and then is good for your prostate (because lets face it, you arnt having sex with woman when you cut out everything fun in your life).

Vidia is good for the brain and hand eye coordination if you dont go overboard

The internet is the best knowledge repository every made.

Bet yes, get rid of all these positive things in your life, im sure the pros reported on some MGTOW subredit are true and you will be reborn after this.

The internet shouldn't be everything fun in life.

Filters are so easy to work around. It's not a valid tactic.
