Put down the weights and pick up a book you meatheads

you heard it here- a consumer choice, you fucking sheep!!!

WHITE WHALE
HOLY GRAIL

I read Harry Potter lmao

>THEY think i'm fat disgusting peace of shit
>WE think a good healthy body isn't worth praising

Holy shit those insecurities.

>TFW used to be broke but was able to work out anyway

>we'll all get old and saggy

Muscle is health. The body you build in your 20s is the basis of your health for the rest of your life. Going through your life treating your body like shit is a sure way to make sure you're riddled with problems as you enter the later years of your life.

What kind of mind thrives being trapped in a sack of flabby shit? What kind of fucking idiot doesn't know about the link between mind, body, and quality of life?

brofist

it's also like saying "you're gonna die anyway so why bother with anything". A 3rd issue with his attitude is that if you get Veeky Forums when young you can pass that to your children, so the benefits do endure past your life.

Nice one. I think it would read funnier if it started off pseudo-intellectual and verbose and ended up as Neanderthalese

>anyone can get that body
Then do it you fat fuck
>it's not a skill
Switching the TV off and accepting that your body is shit and then doing something about it is a skill. Kinda. Also taking all the time to do research on form and nutrition and teaching yourself discipline and dedication is, also, a skill.
>it's a lifestyle decision
It's a lifestyle improvement*
>a consumer choice
1) What does consumerism even have to do with lifting?
2) Unless the author gor fat on steel cut oats, turkey breast, broccoli, asparagus and carrots, they got fat because of a consumer choice.
>I could go to the gym too but I'd rather [creative hobbies]
They better not even own a TV then, because any time wasted there and poured into sculpting yourself is a net loss
>noone actually cares
>but that guy's life is "pretty damn boring"
lol
That's cognitive dissonsnce, or "double standards"

5/10 got me triggered enough to reply

>miserable and depressed
>Also skinnyfat sack of shit
>tired and never do anything
>decide to lift cause I want to be fucking Roronoa Zoro
>it sucks the first two weeks
>Then I start making little progress
>start to feel less tired
>become more social
>have energy and start doing better in uni
>read and write more things looking pretty good
>go out without a shirt and feel great
>get gf
>be a fool and devote all my time to her
>slowly lose strength, energy, and happiness
>grades start sinking

Just cut her out of my life. Going to the gym after work tonight. Feels hopeful man

>people dont think he must be some kind of warrior chieftain
Reminds me of when a classmate last year asked if I LARP because i "looked the part"

>inb4 looks like typical larper
I just have long hair and a body that looks like I work out but is dyel by Veeky Forums standards

>mfw I listen to audiobooks while I lift

ty

This, and fun fact people who work out are more likely to be disciplined enough to be more product than average outside of the gym.
Also fun fact working out increases cognitive ability.

The thing that drives me most up the wall is that working out takes about an hour a day. One fucking hour. I go to the gym at 6 every morning, work from 8-5, come home, eat, read, spend time with my wife, and have plenty of times for other things besides working out.

The ironic part is he probably spends more than an hour a day on his ass playing vidya, yet he has the audacity to call people who work out "boring."

>Put down the weights and pick up a book you meatheads.

But I do both, nu-male comic guy.

>Plato
>Not being plebs
I've a bad news user

brb listen to an audiobook while i lift pieces of metal and smash the poorly conceived idea motivating this web comic which is just a rationalizaton for being a fat lazy piece of shit by a person who doesnt work out and most likely doesnt read books either

This is what women really think, though.

plato is one of the only worthwhile philo's

so few philosophers' way of speaking was worth keeping, who do we got? Plato, Hegel, Hobbes? Maybe Lao, and if you never reached those questions yourself Habermas?

I can't think of any other one worth discussing. Existential fags are pretty much worthless (Kirk, Ni) so are mathfags like Bertrand, so are religious fags like Kant, Aquinas, etc.

Philosophy is one of the least dense forms of discourse. It takes entire books to outline 3-4 key principles, and they often don't go through all contradictory examples, or conditions for summary.

It is basically wankery for the most part.

>actually thinking you can absorb anything of substance during a workout

I wonder if the artist has ever met any men who lift (and are strong)

on the internet
>lol meatheads I'm much more enlightened
IRL
>e-excuse me sir would you m-mind pushing the button for the 10th floor? Thank you SO much, h-have a nice day

Well that would explain why you don't make gains

>Kant was a 'religious fag'
oh boy
from your post, you seem simple

honestly i can't really disagree with him

you should be doing non-active thoughts, as focus splitting cuts my muscle activation

i am simple. There's no need to worry about silly epistemological questions aside from wanking. I find it hilarious you set fitness - the most practical of tasks - at the same level as unproductive mind wankery.

Enjoyment is better left to fiction, and fiction has no need for philosophical diatribes. It can simply have its characters face dilemmas, which invoke most the same concepts, but with practical purpose

you seem like a real tryhard faggot, no offense.

>There's no need to worry about silly epistemological questions aside from wanking
That's just sad, my dude.

I'm a programmer so I spend 8 hours a day doing (usually) pretty cognitively intense work before spending 60-90 minutes in the gym. Dweebs who complain about meatheads usually look like shit and can't handle a job more difficult than cashier at a grocery store. No one is laughing with them.

do you even have a stance on positivism? that's pretty much the only meaningful reaction to modern philosophy's 'probing' of the limit to knowledge... Have you read Popper?

you'll realise how incredibly boring the subject is at some point

when you've read enough philosophy there's no where you can go, but bored

>in 50 years we'll all be saggy
keep telling yourself that as you find excuses to not get into shape

youve already admitted youre simple, now youre just embarrassing yourself

also positivism is trash

>even in your fantasies, you work as an elevator attendant
Haha and I'm sure all the rich patrons' wives suck your dick on their way up to the penthouse to see their husbands?

do you read any medical papers to support your lifting?
do you understand hypothesis testing, false positives/negatives and population size selection?

you'll quickly see how most of science is based around good model theoreticians and positivism, and that popper is pretty much irrelevant to progress or the pursuit of knowledge

being complicated is to edgy as being simple is to sane

hes an autistic man obsessed with riding freight elevators

>tfw to intelligent for the entirety of philosophy

>do you read any medical papers to support your lifting?
no, i dont care enough
>do you understand hypothesis testing, false positives/negatives and population size selection?
yes, basically
>you'll quickly see how most of science is based around good model theoreticians and positivism
i study physics at the top university in the world, i know how science works
>being complicated is to edgy as being simple is to sane
actually kys

Noted, will try harder next time

how is mind wankery not the very best pursuit for the intellectual? it is essentially very very complicated busy work for the mind, it is an outlet for the intellectual

I'm just saying it is mostly not worth reading

>positivism is trash
>studies physics
your entire field is based on positivism - stop lying on the internet lol

...

Yeah, I spend like an hour and a half in the gym at the absolute maximum, there's plenty of time to indulge in other hobbies and skills. Hell, the two other most important times for getting in shape are meals and sleep, which are things you have to do anyway.

It's a lifeSTYLE, not your life.

I've actually been getting laid a LOT more since I've been getting leaner and more "jacked" (according to my peers).
It's not a 0 sum game where doing one activity bars you from others. sure there's a limited amount of time in a day, but your days are not completely filled with that one thing. I lift, study, socialize, read, watch films... just plan your days ffs.

>he thinks you need to be a scientific realist to study physics
wew

>not doing both

>you'll just look old and saggy when you're older, why put in effort now?

Also
>trying so hard to justify your inability to stay in shape that you make a comic about it

>Wow that guy is really strong. He would look great in photos to impress all the other girls in my social nrtwork, which is what I really care about.

Ftfy.

Nihilism is philosophy, though?

Alright, I got some books

tnx just picked up a book and it's back down again

>implying you have to choose one or the other

Stay small, weak and stupid

I listen to Hardcore History while lifting. So fuck all these nerds making excuses.

>That guy who reads a book between sets

But not intelligent enough for grammar.

It's a meme you dip

>unironically being new

>even in your fantasies, you work as an elevator attendant

You only ever ask attendants to press your floor in a packed elevator?

mah nigga, I loved the WWI podcast he did (also listened to it while lifting).

Any good documentaries on Netflix or Amazon Prime? I have a home gym so I can watch what I want. Last thing I watched was an Empires documentary on ancient Greece, narrated by Liam Neeson, was just lovely.
