You must have ran into the 'oh fuck' scenario during your bachelors. Just multiply that by four and understand it's not optional, you'll be surprised at what you can put out even on a limited timescale.

Thats pretty much where I am now. Finished a big work project last week. Had a few days to sleep. Exam. Presentation. And now three weeks of solid fuck fuck fuck fuck. Then Total Warhammer 2 comes out and I am going to play that, drink, fap, and have my army medical.
Parker Miller
What's it in? I did an MEng so a 4 year course which is technically a Master's but really a BEng with an extra year. Got a 2:2 because I went through some serious shit in my final year and put in about 10% of the effort I put into the other years.
Reposting from last thread:
Okay, well rather than continue to argue I'll let these do it for me:
What she did to working class communities was traitorous and the sooner the right disavow her disgusting globalism the better. A new and improved NAT'SOC' is the future, there's no place for unchecked and short term capitalism in that system.
If you're going to die, do it hanging out the back of some posh bird, coked up to fuck after a day of swimming with sharks in NZ instead of from cheap whisky like some poverty stricken pleb.
If you have fuck all to live for you're the freest man can possibly be. You have nothing holding you back, so don't let a fucking drink do it.
I've been there with drink and I've managed to control it, thankfully. I've lost a few people in my life to it and I was certain, for a long time, that I would go the same way. But I managed to calm it down and you can, whatever you might think right now, do the same.
Nicholas Morris
What are you doing in the army? And why not the RAF?
Kayden Williams
Very short answer: law Slightly longer: arbitration, IP and company law.
Thomas Myers
I want to join the army legal service but I think I'll be too old by the time I'm qualified. I will still take a reserve commission though. I've got a senpai visit with the raf legal folk in September and their age limits are more lax.

Henry Myers
I want to become something instead of stagnating as a working class depressed piece of shit
I work a shitty retail job and i cant even get fulltime hours. I have a college diploma in it (d*d*d*) but nowhere will hire me, not even an entry level role and i feel fucking worthless
Jaxson Rogers
w/d user he's right u kno
>I've been there with drink and I've managed to control it, thankfully. I've lost a few people in my life to it and I was certain, for a long time, that I would go the same way. But I managed to calm it down and you can, whatever you might think right now, do the same.
I knew I had a problem for years, tried to get clean repeatedly, failed with the tapering method etc. Finally got clean and stayed that way for a year. Grew a lot in that time and now I can keep a lid on it in social occasions, instead of hammering it, making a tit of myself and then drinking for some sense of normality.
I drank every. day. for. years. U can do it.
But pls call 999 if you're withdrawing hard (+10 units/day)
John Allen

Ah fuck everything about law, not my thing. I respect it as a choice though, takes a lot of effort to do well. IP would be interesting I think and company law surely pays very well. Best of luck m8. If it wouldn't doxx you what's the title of the thesis?
What's the age limit? I thought the grad/officer roles were the same in all forces? In the RAF it's 30 for most roles I think.
Cooper Morris
Age? Fitness? What do you want to do?
Angel Walker
How do you feel after giving up drink for a few days?

Ethan Harris
The job market is shit for legal people. I've been trying for a couple years to get into practice.
Are limit for the raf (legal) is 34-40 with permission. Army it's 32. I'm 31.
Brayden Gomez
Join the navy.
I'm fairly sure they still do scholarships at your age as well.
Nicholas Gray
What do you enjoy? Not necessarily workwise, but in life what are your passions. If you have none, what do you think you'd like to do? If every single job paid the same amount what would you choose? Be sensible though, shagging supermodels isn't a sensible job.
To be fair, 10 units/day would technically be classed as heavy drinking but yeh, wouldn't cause withdrawals.
I did basically the same as you, stayed clean for 3 months and now I drink an absolute maximum of once/week. Sometimes I do go over the top, and I always regret it. And fortunately that regret is now strong enough to stop me going to the shop the next morning for more like I used to do. I do intend to stop completely at some point but I can't envisage that yet.
Oliver Miller

>but I realise a lot of the jobs need a degree Nah man. Tech is the one space that's not the case.. (In fairness, alot of industries are like that, but the degree is the icebreaker without relevant working experience.) Start making some contribs on git projects that interest you, do free internet courses (many are reputable) etc etc.
Cameron Nguyen
i enjoy working anything outdoors, hiking, working with animals etc but I keep that as a hobby. I'm good with computers but its getting interviews and/or passing the interview because i always sperg out
Dylan Morales
Get a fucking move on then lad. If it's something you want to do, get it done. Don't waste time thinking about things, just do it. Not that I take my own advice, but I think it's decent advice.
Just seen this after posting . I would also recommend the forces. The RAF might be more your scene as it's a bit more tech based. Apprenticeships start at something like £14.5k which is really pretty good considering you spend fuck all
Jaxson Moore
Oops forgot this and your nearly quintquints deserve it.
(Paraphrasing enormously) "Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms as an alternative to litigation considered in relation to directors duties and company responsibility, along with consideration of IP protection."
Tldr arbitration good. Confidential and protects IP. Company structure complex. Who should go to arb and why.

apprenticeships are age restricted tho aren't they?
Andrew Richardson
He's a scrawny little pole who owns a proper shit car, you should know that by now. Pic related.

If you want to pursue outdoors work I'd recommend getting on some 'kid's camps' in Canada/US/Aus. Not all roles involve dealing with kids if that's not your thing. Then you can put yourself through mountaineering training/canoeing/climbing etc and get a job near enough anywhere.
But if you want to pursue the computing route then
Hudson Cook
Heh yeah. From personal experience it's when you start getting to the point that it's not out of your system within a couple of hours after waking up that it becomes "problematic". 10 if it's every day will easily escalate to 20 and beyond, but I don't think it's a medical emergency at only 10, unless you've been sustaining the habit for literally years.
t. clearly not a doctor
Jason Wood
I don't know much about it but the forces had a thing where they'd pay you to go to uni if you said you'd join up after.
I strongly advise monging along to your local recruiting office.
>but why? We already know it's a cunt. I don't need to know its address.
Exactly the plan.
I had about five years (ending December last year) where I was... away from myself. I lost several people all at once and a bunch of other stuff. I've still got a nice side business but it's not what I want for the rest of my life.
Fortunately I got through it by drinking heavily and don't have any diangoses of the craziness on my records so the forces are fine with me.
Samuel Ross
OI MATE What am I looking at here Not a capgun or a BP piece, so it best be a replica or antique.
Jackson Wright
How old are you?
Okay well that doesn't mean a great deal to me as I'm a bit of a philistine when it comes to law, but it does sound quite interesting. I dealt with IP a bit with a design at uni and it was a fucking mess. I guess there's a lot of precedence you can talk about?
I did mine on "increasing torsional rigidity of tubular bistable carbon composite structures for military and commercial applications" and the best solution was something the company I worked with had already designed so it was a total fucking waste of time. Got all my marks on the theoretical research bit and got pretty much nothing on the physical side hence the 2:2
Kevin Sanders

IP is a mess. Everyone knows the ground rules but generally it's so expensive and so much hassle to litigate no one but s multi national would.
Oliver Wilson
>but why?
to shut it up and teach it a lesson. create memes out of its pictures.
Cooper Morales
At my worst I was on about 150-200 units/week and I was drinking pic related. It took a slag from Tinder telling me to get a grip to make me do so and I'll always be grateful for that, even if she was a 4/10 fat bird.
A binge now and then, I think (for those who can), is fine. But yeh if you're drinking daily it's already an issue and it needs fixing but you could probably cope on that (4 pints) forever without any huge health issues other than being overweight. Anything over 4 cans/night is a real problem that needs dealing with IMO and anything over 2-3 night/week is the same. It astonishes me that alcohol is illegal and even promoted but that's a different conversation.
Brody Campbell
Just to really get the r9k on the go. I realised the other day I've basically given up on women for the time being. I earn pretty well from my side job but know it's not what I want to for the rest of my life but until I've got through everything there's no point. Essentially I'm looking to settle down when I'm in my late 30s. I'm actually ok about this though.
Josiah Kelly
Lol. I just read anons reply to you, found your comment and was about to write something to that effect. That's the tl;dr of your thesis?
Levi Smith
You sound like me. I had to pretty much quit drinking for two years to get my life back on some sort of track. Even now if I let myself drink even a drop I know the next day is write off. About once every two months I'll buy a bottle of single malt and have a few pints with my mates to show I am still alive then go home and neck it.
I know a girl who went into commercial law (no knowledge over that) who is now 29 and earning £48k with a Boxster S as a company car so there's definitely earning potential there. She is a 9/10 and probably sucks a lot of dick though. Best of luck with it all
James Smith
Is the tldr but yes.
Dylan Evans
Don't see a pic.. Is it K cider? I was on the "white cider" as social workers / police and everybody that has to deal with the scumbags of society on the regs calls it.
I was similar in units.
I detoxed myself with benzos and a regime I found online. It worked for me but I highly don't recommend it for anybody reading, do it through the NHS.
How did you get clean?
Liam Peterson

The haggis here are in rut.
Jack Brown
I think being able to keep alcohol in your life, but controlled, is better than just cutting it out completely. But I know that's fucking hard for most people, as it is for me. I wish I'd never gone down the path of drinking like a cunt but I'm reasonably happy with where I'm at now and I actually feel like over time I'm getting better. My monthly units are going down and are now at a level that wouldn't shock anybody so I'll keep going. Hope you do too.
Luke Williams
Yeah abitration is obviously the way forward, but I don't really see how it applies in real life SME examples. If it's a partnership, ride or die, better just to cut your losses and walk away.
I just can't see any other situation where there was a big enough biz (without non-dir shareholders that could eject him) where there would be director disputes.
Can you give me an example?
Eli Gutierrez
Like I say I had to cut it right back and am very hard on myself. The only way I found peace with it was one weekend in eight to get blitzed. I can now manage a couple pints if I'm really careful on a Friday or a drink at a wedding. Generally though I designated drive a lot. I just wish it had not taken losing so many friends and more importantly >her To get to this stage.
Also I'm never visiting /an/ again.
Noah Torres
It more goes to fiduciary duties and some other bits and pieces but while I don't mean to be dismissive it's my life at the moment to care about that stuff 12 hours a day. Can we talk about tunnocks tea cakes instead please?
Have a fishy.
Also on a completely pointless note. I had three shrimp in my fish tank a few months ago. I've now got at least 10. Little bastards aren't meant to breed in captivity.
Jonathan Ramirez
>I just wish it had not taken losing so many friends and more importantly >>her >To get to this stage. Buddy I feel you. Although it was >her that enabled me to get to this stage (codependancy) Honestly, I take those things as knocks on the chin, I just wish I still had my physical health.
For us drinkers though, a beer is like a line of coke.. Or pringles.
Landon Allen
Completely forgot to add it. This. 4.5 units/can, £3.50 for 4 cans from the local offie. Used to get 8/night 4-5 times/week.
I could never get on with cider, it always made me sick. I could drink a bottle of vodka and 10 pints and not throw up but 4 cans of cider and I'd be sick like a 13 year old girl on smirnoff ice.
>How did you get clean Before I started drinking I was powerlifting and competing and was in decent shape, had a gorgeous girlfriend and had a clear and active mind. I lost all of that and eventually realised I wanted them back.
I went on a date with a fat bird and she made some comments about my drinking (I kept having whiskys inbetween beers and not getting drunk) and I figured that if somebody as shit as her was judging me I was doing something wrong. Got a gym membership and quit the next day. Spent 3 months killing myself in the gym, not drinking (aside from one night), cycling everywhere and not seeing mates etc and got to a level where I felt I could have another drink. Risked it on a night out and went overboard, woke up the next day in a cell, stayed there until Monday morning, went to court and got fined £500 for knocking out a bouncer and fighting a policeman and had a real epiphany moment on the walk home and did another month of not drinking and vowed to myself that I would never, ever allow myself to drink anywhere near that much again. I knew I couldn't quit completely, I wish that wasn't the case. But like I said, I'm pretty content with where I'm at now.
The gym and watching my body change and doing better with women is what kept me going. I dabbled with smoking weed instead of drinking but didn't really get on with it. I know I need something, I think I always will.
Alexander Roberts
Ha fair enough. I just dont see why you need a silly degree to tell you that, or what that would represent in terms of work placement.
Sorry not trying to blackpill, I guess common sense is lacking these days. Start some psyops ting on the d-low and get hired as VP of diversity at a MNO (larping as a kewl startup) on your graduation desu
Grayson Harris
I'm lucky I still do. I'm not sure how. Christ I don't.
My biggest scare with drink was actually when I was stone sober.
I was working as a lay advocate (an unqualified small claims pleb) and was on my way back to work from court. I saw this bundle of what I thought was rags in a door way. I thought "That's a person"
I gave it a poke with my boot. It pissed itself and sat up. It was the most popular kid in my year and what had been a close friend. No idea who I was or what day it was. Got him to his feet and he went off down the road mumbling about scorpions.
There but for the grace of god. Whenever I've thought about offing myself it's been that which has come back to me.

Fuck everything about that link.
You can get your health back. Humans are resilient as fuck and you can pretty much reverse 100% of the damage.
It's fucking hard, but so is everything that's worth anything. I'm in better shape, I have a better mind, I have a gorgeous woman in my life and I have some hope for the future now and all I had to do to get all that was stop spending money on a cunt product. It is possible. And it's important.

Got to him rock bottom I guess user. I used to drink to forget her and then I was drinking to forget why I was forgetting her. Then when I was having those lucid pissed dreams she would be there.
What was really destroying me was >drunk >oh cool she got married >two week bender Etc
Wyatt Phillips
Hadn't realised it was on the legal side (obvs didn't read) your degree makes much more sense now, so you can indeed intepret it as best wishes ;)

Matching it is decent, but if you're willing to put in a bit of effort you can do better by putting the 4% into stocks or (((property))) or cars (classics etc).
Luis Wilson
Okay if they're tiny I won't bother. I've been reading about the insect farming (((meme))) and getting quite tempted.
Deleting facebook is a pretty good start to making life better.
Aiden Torres
Okay well hopefully they gave you some cool scars, women love scars. That's not even a meme, I have a few and they like them as much as beards and tattoos. If it's a broken nose etc then just give off the hard cunt vibe and you'll be fine.
Josiah Morgan
If you want to farm insects I have eaten grasshopper (working Africa not while pissed). It's not bad.
Indeed deleting Facebook and a couple of other forms of messaging/stalking were literally the best things I've ever done.
It does however mean brit/pol/ has become a weirdly close "friend" like that housemate that I can't decide if they are planning to kill us all in our sleep but they do buy Jaffa cakes pretty often and seem ok even if they do smell funny.
Jacob Cook
Because this place is better than a diary another thing.
I was watching mum and my little sister playing with my dog earlier. Five years ago mum had been so badly domestically abused that she could barely speak coherently and sibling had basically failed uni. Alright I was pissed myself for a couple years after dad died but I guess maybe I've done ok. Mum's working and has a new man, sibling graduated with a 2:1 and has a great job. I even managed to save the house from getting reposessed.
It's not all bad and it does get better. It's still soul crushing to watch it happen.
Mason Garcia
It's the law famalam. We ain't gonna see a state pension. All 40hrs+ contracts needs it now. Some companies are getting around their contributations by swtiching to p/t especially in your space.
You will be able to move your contributions to your next paye employer, but whether you can move theirs too depends on your small print. Either way, assuming you're not a trust fund babby or likely to receive inheritence, you should be thinking about it.
Ahh but I'm a softie really. Also facial symertry is a thing. Feeling pretty stoic about it all tho ;)
Kevin Robinson
I've had locusts in a burger and it was pretty good, and I ate woodlice as a kid and they tasted pretty good so I'm not against the idea though it would make me feel like a bit of a third worlder.
Well played on getting rid of facebook, I feel like it's as much of an addiction for a lot of people as alcohol or nicotine and it's possibly just as bad for mentality.
I definitely come on here too often, but I feel like that's better for me than watching shite like Love Island which is what the majority of people do so I don't hate it too much. Your description is pretty spot on, people here worry the fuck out of me and I know we're all on plenty of lists that could easily ruin our lives but conversations like this one and being able to know that others feel the same way supercedes that worry. Gonna buy some Jaffa Cakes tomorrow desu, not had them in like 2 years.
Matthew Hernandez
Being a softie with scars (with cool stories, make them up if need be) is pretty top tier. Facial symmetry is apparently a thing, but I kinda disagree because I love women with nose piercings so I dunno. Stoicism is the way forward, that's another thing that has helped me in life. If you haven't already, read Aurelius - Meditations
It didn't teach me much, but it certainly legitimised my mindset. Knowing there were people 2,000 years ago thinking the same as I do was very comforting.
Henry Reed
>insects
Well if you've ever eaten shrimp you're not far off. Most arthropods taste about the same.
>brit/pol/ It's actually not a bad little support group and having the means to talk anonymously and just banter has actually been a great help. I've still got mates but I don't see them as much as I'd like and they still like to get pissed every weekend. I really like the company at times like this though.
Daniel Nguyen
I bullied a ginger kid into autism, when we were 7 I pissed in his fruit shoot and made fun of him. The worst part of it all his parents seemed so happy when we asked if he would play out . Around 5 years later I saw him across the road and I waved, he didn't reply so I walked across to make peace when he shouted "fuck off" I'm almost glad im a depressed neet that can't find a girlfriend
Camden Hughes

>Knowing there were people 2,000 years ago thinking the same as I do was very comforting. Ha, I had a real existential crisis for the first time ever after getting sober. I'm still not particularly well read, but luckily I have some good mates who are that I opened dialogue with and I take comfort in that fact too. Basically people much smarter than me have had the same thoughts, they might help lol.
Will read your link now lad. Night anons. I generally hate brit/pol/ as I associate it with le alt-right tripfags, but this has been /comfy/, I might come back x
Brayden White
That's good to know. I'm not doing it because of the climate change meme but more because it should be cheap and it's full of protein.
Yeh it is, you're right. It probably seems sad as fuck to anybody outside of it but there is a solid group of people here that feel the same way about things, have the same aspirations and seem to really give a shit about each other, even if just on the surface. It's a good thing, even if if it is founded on the wholly barbaric and racist epithet of "securing the existence of our people and a future for white children"
I've got the same problem with my mates desu. We've all moved to different parts of the country and whenever we meet up it's based around a piss up. I can deal with that, but I'd prefer it was based around camping, travelling or something else.
Brandon Perez
Good luck user. Brit/pol/ isn't a bad place as long as the only triplord posting is Rimmer or the convict.
Ayden Garcia
>tripfags >alt-right
Jesus wept.
Aaron Howard
That does sound quite cool desu. How did you get it if that's not too much of a triggering question?
Fair play, good teeth are always a winner. And honesty is a good trait, I will accept that I'm a 'white liar' at times but I do my best to be honest about everything and anything that matters.
I've had a lot of existential crises but now I'm not continually wasted I'm able to use them for good instead of coming out the other side with an even lower self esteem and a total lack of hope. It's a long read, will take a while, but I hope you get something out of it. Brit/pol/ is great when the tripfags aren't here, some really good conversations (and not always depressing). Night pal x
Julian Williams
If you're looking for cheap protein I strongly recommend muscle food. It's a big box of cheap but quality meat. I get one a month.
>anonymongs You're correct. It's a very nice little group. There's a few folk that have made a decent go of life and everyone always seems keen to listen or help, or call you a fag. It's a community and that is something modern bongland is seeing eroded.
>mates I'm fortunate enough to have some close friends in my village. I've taken to cooking dinner or arranging something like a bbq or movies or taking them shooting with me just as an excuse. Even stuff like boardgames or cards just to break that pub routine.
Angel Nelson
>scar
DIY. My day job (which I've posted some much personal info I am sure there's a knife license squad on its way now) is renovating houses and flipping them. I smacked an outbuildings wall with a sledgehammer and it fell on me. A nail nearly took out my eye but instead bounced off my safety specs after carving a funnel down my forehead and another into my cheek after.
Aiden Green

I tried the musclefood thing a while ago, will do it again because it was really good value and it's definitely better than shakes.
It's a shame that society has fallen so far that young blokes have to find camaraderie on an Uzbeki bowl whittling forum but I'm glad it exists.
I've got some local mates and I do my best to get them to come out for rides/walks etc with me but they're all boring cunts. I'll perservere though!
I'm off to bed now too. Night chaps
