/ub/ I've seen many of you encourage each other on the internet, but what if we started a community/fraternity in real life? We could help each other network and find jobs in addition to our usual self improvement routines. We could teach each other skills or board together too. I would suggest a town with both a 4 year university and a trade school so people can pursue higher education. What other criteria should our (at this point hypothetical community) need?

I think we still have time before the boogaloo. We should use that time to build a small community and generate capital. We can then use that capital to buy land so we can build our off grid paradise before the boog even happens.

I haven't visited this site in months and I come back to see I'm two months late to be the first guy to respond to this. Sorry for taking my sweet time checking back in, folks.

I can vouch for the cheapness of land in Lake County and Harney County, Oregon. Burns is a half-city environment where jobs seem aplenty and of varying value and rent is only $300-400 a month for an apartment; Christmas Valley is much more expensive in terms of utilities but just as cheap if not moreso for land. With likeminded and energetic youth there I can promise that the communities can find growth. I've been working on landscaping/farmer work for a while, hunting sagerats and gophers and cleaning up my grandpa's household. I've learned a lot, despite still having trouble escaping the city-boy mindset, and I would absolutely love to meet you folks here if you did come.

Christmas Valley isn't the best, but with Blazin' Hog broadband download speeds are tolerable and it really doesn't take much to set your own business up around here. With enough cooperation any shitty boomer-retirement shanty-town can be turned into the next Orania. Realtor is around the center of the main road for in-person meetings, if you're in the PNW already and are alright with being two hours from (((civilization))).

OH, also. Alfalfa is a crop commonly grown both in CV and the Princeton area near Burns. Low temperatures are somewhat sporadic through the year, so some crops may die in the night if weather decides to be a cunt. So far though the weather has been very nice since I moved out here.

Starting on January 13th and ending on Easter will be the Exodus 90, an extended period of self-denial, prayer, and reflection. Although intended for Catholics I think anyone can join, at least in spirit. Here is a sample routine and it really seems to be something that can help turn you into an übermensch:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OAPCjiHAxv9c5tyYfRr0zno5bTW-6dUz7rsP5nfCjIk/edit

Fuck, I made a typo. Edocus my ass. I need to stop typing with my eyes shut. hi supernintendo chalmers.
Anyeay back to the point...
I don't know. I guess keeping this thread bumped for next year is good. I don't want to make a "me and my quest to become fit" blog thread. Then again, where else could I say things like "sometimes I unwantedly miss the days when I was surrounded by awful people irl because it made me feel good for not being like them"? I can't get advice for shit like that on some bluepilled forum. People would reee every time a fragment of my power level shows.
Being fit feels good. Nofap is so good for the soul!
Feels weird to say I still fap around normie friends who hate nofap and think its disgustingly infuriatingly obviously BS.
I bet they just hate nofap because they lack the willpower to face themselves and win.
Nofap pro tip I discovered solo. When you want to fap look at something beautiful that isnt the female form. Flowers, good paintings, cool military shit, nature etc.
Society is fucked up. Sex is nothing sacred now. Men boast about the anime they nut to. Thots expect their beta cucks to be happy for their mistresses as they suck chad off in front of their exploited paypiggy. Souls seem gone and people are valued only by what pleasures or services or trinkets they can give others. Kids on tiktok dance while a thot cries and a weirdo shoves his arm town a toilet and a text to speech voice loudly reads the Cock and Ball Torture wikipedia page. Your mediadrugged NPC friend sees this and laughs and shows you the video like nothing's abnornal.
The world feels so big, and I'm not a big guy for anyone. I can't fight the jew beast in anything but the smallest of ways. The jew wants to kill my soul, but by staying alive I spite him. Yet I still feel like that isn't enough. I prepared for the apocalypse the best I could, when does it start? Maybe the real apocalypse was the downfal of society we lived through along the way.
What will the world look like in 40 years?
I'm making good progress in my indie game. People thought I was bullshitting them but it's working. It's coming together like me and someone else's mom. Can't wait to show it off in trailers. My whole life I thought a purpose was something you tell yourself you live for when you want to feel good about yourself. But now that I've found my real purpose, it feels good.

Salmon is pink due to high concentrations of Astaxanthin, arguably the most effective antioxidant nutrient that humans can digest. Its the same substance that gives adult flamingoes their color, because the food they eat is rich in it. Look it up. Also, yes salmon is really good for you and you can eat lots of it.

The blood of your enemies used to be a good choice, but the high amount of soy contaminate means we'll have to use different means. You'll have to use shear will power and concentrated rage to counteract the effects of pinkification.
Also stuff with iodine. A purple mineral that is present in small amounts. You need it even if it's fortified in salt part of the reason why fast food salt tastes so good, and possibly the added sugar too.
Salt, purified in the salt mines, should also keep the white nice and bright.

Overwhelmingly but not universally, yes. There's some variance, for example we have mildly different tastes in music and she has a different disposition (quicker to take offense, more reactive, etc.), but I'd say there's 80-90% overlap and agreement on most everything.

Thank you! I have absolutely no experience in making games unless that glitchy lost platformer I made as a kid counts.
It might have been a mistake to set the bar so high for my first release but looking at the design doc I'm not sure where I can scale back to, while still making my first game a good fun playable attention-grabbing game.

I got and subsequently lost a job in the middle of nowhere within 24 hours. The TL;DR is that my handbook had no useful information in it, and my coworkers and higher-ups shouted and put me down every time I made a mistake I couldn't have avoided. For instance, there's a portable nailplate pressing device that is used when the rolling press doesn't keep the plates on the boards, but its cords were tangled and the thing is heavy enough to break a windshield by gently laying it down on it. But when a truss is pushed outside, they want you done with it within one minute, maybe two if you're lucky. Someone who doesn't know the quickest ways to check for nailplates, or the easiest way to bring the press around without running out of cables, has no chance of pleasing everyone there. But I still got shouted out over it constantly. Eventually, an issue out of my control happened and I got shouted out over it when I asked for help with it (the rolling press wasn't responding to button presses, and there was no visible on/off switch or power cable). I was so frustrated and felt so cornered after all this time that I shouted back at him, leading to everyone else at the plant ganging up on me. I quit soon after.

Talking to my grandpa about it, he just tells me to harden up, to get used to being attacked over every mistake made, but I don't think I can. I'm just too goddamn sensitive. I'm pre-wired to apologize, and whenever I do I get shouted at even harder for apologizing. I feel so small and useless, and no stress relief practices I've ever adopted seem to help with it.

What am I supposed to do? Am I just broken?

But in his time nobody would look at you sideways for starting a lemonade stand. So much has changed that almost every industry he's taken up has been fully automated and his current one is on its way as well. Following his advice is what the office wagies of last generation did and they suffered for a decade before dropping out of the rat race for a different industry.

Ever watched Hell's Kitchen? Gordon Ramsay is an absolute drill sergeant and your first thought is "why is he being so mean and strict to those poor people?" The more you watch him though, the more you realize there is sentimentality beneath that tough exterior and he is hard because he wants others to improve. He went through such grueling training and review himself under the best of chefs which is the only way he could have gotten to where he is today. The only times he is calm is when he's given up and that is ultimately more terrifying because then there's no hope. So don't take criticism too harshly but focus on getting better. And yes, you're going to start out with a menial job because that's expected of most blue-collar professions: sushi chefs do nothing but wash rice for years while in training.

>>2271
Meditation in a Christian sense will actually help though. Making quips with "the guys" isn't something you've earned yet and you need to practice meekness. Meekness is not weakness but is ultimately strength as you can bear a burden without shirking or complaining. "Hacksaw Ridge" is a great movie with a role model of meekness. It's very difficult to hold onto because it directly hits your pride, but as one grows holier it becomes more natural just as with the other Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Sorry for the radio silence, I didn't really have an excuse. I've never watched Ramsay or that movie, I'll have to sometime. I would actually go so far as to say that in person I've been overly meek. I'm willing to own up to mistakes, but realistically, how does one nail the timing on deep frying stuff without having used a deep fryer, or troubleshoot a pressing machine with no visible cords or power switches? All I can really do is apologize for wasting time and ask for help, but doing either of those just makes it worse somehow. And then when being reserved and meek gets such bad results, it adds and adds and adds to stress levels.

That's lack of due instruction and that's something different. I recommend asking for training so you can understand how the pressing machine works at least at an apprentice level. It may be that you're expected to do it on your own time, either studying the instruction manual or arriving early/staying late to ask an experienced colleague about the ins and outs. I have little understanding regarding the type of work you do but I imagine that when you get the hang of it there will be a lot less friction. When learning to drive or play golf I would dread those activities because my father, who was teaching me, would harangue me for mistakes especially when I kept making them. Over time however I made fewer mistakes and these activities actually became pleasurable, but that bump had to be surpassed.

It's a very boomer solution, but sometimes typing in the name of a text (usually an academic tract) and "pdf" works, as you might find a third-world site that hosts an article for free that would normally be behind a paywall.
If you're interested in reading economics, mises.org as well as Tom Woods (https://tomwoods.com/freebooks/) publish a lot of their books for free because they consider the message and publicity more important than sales. It's genius marketing; I don't know if Counter-Currents does the same thing but they should.

So I got a girl
And I was invited to her house today, for a date
I take a taxi to arrive there, paid for by her since she's loaded, and...
Ten minutes into watching netflix one of her friends shows up
A dense broad her age (They're 23 and so am I)
They act like they haven't seen each other in years, in the girly "I saw you yesterday and neither of us are feeling this lie but society says we must dance and screech" way
My girl invites new girl in
She comes in and I'm reclining on her sofa, but I decide to sit up and smile inoffensively instead.
"Hi"
"Hi"
New girl asks my girl if she wants to go to the bar
My girl says yes
I get up and start to follow her
My girl asks me if I'll be fine on my own, and leaves before I say anything, slamming the door in my face
I am left alone in her house, nobody around.
This house is empty and I'm in her house
She texts me and says if I stay in her house until she gets back she'll suck my dick
I watch anime on my to-watch list using her six different netflix service subscriptions
A Magical Girl Named Index or whatever it's called sucks ass.
She eventually gets back
Looks miserable but she lights up upon seeing me
genuinely surprised that I'm still there
considers it a sign of absolute loyalty to be treasured
I hug her, she hasn't been sweating and her scent hasn't changed
takes her friend upstairs to hold the broad's hair back as she vomits
then she gets bored and comes back downstairs while her vomiting friend hurls for another minute
and she sucks my dick for at least half an hour
I go home afterwards
she overpays by thirty dollars for taxi fare
I take a taxi home and type this up
She didn't dance, she just watched her friend be retarded, she tells me in a text.

Is this good?

Yeah, everything went good. I introduced her to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Danny's death made her run out of the room crying. I paused and followed her and stroked her back until she stopped. Then we went back to watching the show.

She isn't emotionally dead and isn't a psycho, and it looks like you both enjoy each other's company.
I'm taking a guess that running out or away is how she normally deals with tragedy, or that specifically was too much. Possibly a personal trauma, or that empathic.
Knowing everything beforehand is too much to ask of anyone.

I would have thought she would turn away into your arms for comfort, but on thinging more of that comes with more time, trust, and knowing one another.
It could also be I'm now a cold bastard... hmmm.

Congratulations OP it looks like you're both fortunate.

2. Daddy issues if there is any YOU get all the baggage that comes with it
3. Talking about marrage within one month you have been warned
4. Expencive useless stuff for scoial recognition (expensive valet when parking is just as good if you do it) [apologies later should NOT be taken into consideration] (vanity, and self importance, and no money sense)
5. Talk with Exes if you can they can bring a useful insight to Who she is. (Or not)
6. Trust your instincts and if they say something is Not Right there is a VERY High Chance something is REALLY NOT RIGHT.
7. How they treat others (see number 5 in manlyness)

9. Are they Ex-Wives HUGE ORANGE FLAG HERE, Get more information alot more information

6. Give and Take for both sides
7. What does she care about
8. Fetishes can/will you accept X (this can somtimes tell a deper story)
9. BODY LANGUAGE pay attention they might let loose their gaurd because you are a man/ on the next dates
10. See How they Do things
11. See How they percive things
12. See WHY they do things
14. See WHY they percive things
15. How complex of a topic they understand and WHAT THEY DO and Why
16. Willfully ignorant?
17. Malicuously ignorant?
18. What habits do they have Positive or Negitive?

See next check for a better view
Second Check Before marrage

[ ] She is attractive, of course, but is that her chief asset? (Try to imagine her ten years from today.)
[ ] Do you want her because she is popular–because other men have wanted her? (Don’t be a copy-cat!)
[ ] Could you spend seven consecutive evenings in her company without being bored? (If the answer is affirmative, it is a good sign.)
[ ] Could you spend seven consecutive evenings in her company without being irritated/angery/(bad mood here)? (If the answer is affirmative, it is a good sign.)
[ ] Do you have similar tastes in most things?
[ ] Is she a good sport?
[ ] Is she reasonably healthy?
[ ] Is she a flirt? Does she make you jealous? (Decide whether you can stand the strain; your jealously will persist until you grow indifferent.)
[ ] Are you constantly irritated by some small mannerism of hers? (You can’t be terribly in love.)
[ ] Does she tell lies? Do you mind?
[ ] Is she a nag?
[ ] Is she quarrelsome? (The Bible warns, “It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house.”)
[ ] Is she hard on other people? (Don’t judge by her behavior to you.)
[ ] Is she trying to reform you? How do you feel about being reformed?
[ ] Has she tried to boss you? (Maybe you need a boss.)
[ ] Would she put up with all your faults if she knew them?
[ ] When you quarrel, who capitulates first? (A combination of two stubborn mules is bad.)
[ ] Do you agree on children, or a career, or both? (Better settle this beforehand.)
[ ] Does she expect you to support her in a definite style? Could you count on her cooperation in hard times? Would she go to work if necessary?
[ ] Will she help you get ahead? Or will she pull you away from your work?

A girl rewarded you by sucking your dick like you would reward a dog with steak while training it.
She might be a good fuckbuddy if you're into that but dont let her "train" you.

Now, now /ub/ you are practicing your arguing skills and critical thinking, are you not?
I propose this thread to practice such skills, let us start with some simple lessons:
1- Do not get emotionally involved when arguing.
2- Do not purposely commit fallacies
3- Fallacies are there to help, not to shield
4- Fallacy-fallacy is a thing, watch out for that
5- Always back up your arguments with facts
6- Learn to shallow your pride, you can't win every argument, it is preferable to admit defeat than making a fool out of yourself.

Now with that in mind, get into any 3+1chan or any other place and argue with someone, post screencap here and i'll judge your performance.
Remember guys, practice is the key for success.

You can also challenge me to an argument if you so feel like it, just post something in this thread we can argue about

So like a diaper commercial without all the logic is a pedo commercial?
I never really understood the appeal of naked babies on a diaper's commercial.

I think it's supposed to be appealing to mothers' maternal instincts or whatever.

I had a thought today. I always thnk that it is a shame that we have to deal with the way things are insteat of what things could be like and I started to apply that thought to myself.
Normally I come here to try to become a somewhat decent human being, which means going from the bottom to the mid.
Today I had the very rare thought that I acutally might be not (always) as bad as I think.

Despite being overweigt I got an acceptablt body with an very good imune system and strenght.
Despite being a retard my IQ is his enough to get a masters degree.
Despite being socially inept I managed to make some good friends and get girls interested and become somewhat alpha in certain groups and even managed to shift some votes.
I can into arts and science and philosophy and crafts and IT and office and...

I am human waste but despite that I see the possibiblity to get something done.
What I am asking is how to unleash your potential?

>What I am asking is how to unleash your potential?
That is a good question, and I am first to admit I don't think I know the answer. I know what I would have liked to have done. But I am not sure if it would have been the right way to go either. So take what I write with a good healthy dose of skepticism. Also sorry for rant.

I don't think unleashing your full potential always is necessary. I think it is more important to be content (or happy if you are lucky) with life.

Lets say you are going to have kids. The most important I think is that you have time for them after work. Don't chase after a job that will stress you out, or wear you out. Try to find something that you never have to bring home. And I think most importantly that it is a bit varied so you don't do the same thing day in and day out, and that it is work that you can say is done and complete at one point. As an example a house is complete at one point, a web-server will always need monitoring updates ad infinitum.
Sure a house needs maintenance but it is varied maintenance and seldom time critical (sure roof can become leak, but nothing a tarp or bucket can't temporary fix and give you some extra time). A web-server that is compromised needs to be fixed ASAP and you can't leave until it is fixed. But as a house-builder you will not get calls asking why the house needs a new layer of paint after 10 years. You might get a call on a web-server on why twitter feed don't show up anymore because twitter chose to change their API a year later.

Sure hard work and late nights building your own business can pay of in the long run and grant you much more that if you choose to just be a worker raising your kids. So it is also something to keep in mind. Lots of work in start for potential big gain or an steady pace to retirement.

>I realize I am just ranting the this point so I'll stop for now and try to think of something better to write
