ITT: Share life advice

Thanks for the advice, friend.

>Literally everyone has faced the existential question at some point in their lives
Utterly untrue.

When summoning a demon from outer hells for those extradimensional natty gains there are some things to consider, among these, the following are of utmost importance:
>Never make eye contact with them (BAD IDEA!). It doesn't matter where its eyes are, don't look into them. It could drive you mad, or open your mind to compulsion.
>Never break the salt circle (NON-NEGOTIABLE!). The demon may ask you for some things/or do some things like killing a puppy or shoving a pencil in your butt. These you can do, but if it involves breaking the circle, do not respond to it. It will ask for something else if you stay silent long enough.
>Never step, or shove any body part inside the salt circle (BIG MISTAKE!). This is equally important. At its best, you could lose a body part, at its worst you could end up getting possessed and allow an Eldritch abomination walk our Earth in the comfort of your skin.
And lastly,
>STOP STRETCHING!

wrong.

Don't be afraid to let your emotions be part of your personality

Should I become a teacher or commission as an officer in the military.

I'm split lads. US by the way and I just finished a BS in Biology, but I don't want to go to graduate school.

Good advice.

Youll be happier in the army as an officer. Do not be a teacher.

Officer in signals or engineers

Thanks man, I'm just worried about making it 15 years in then getting booted before I reach a pension.

Don't procrastinate, stay focused.

Being socially adept is a skill. You get better at it the more you do it. Make small talk with cashiers, your neighbors, people waiting next to you in lines, etc. You'll notice how easy it is to make friends and meet new people.

>15 years
>getting booted
You'd have to be responsible for someone's death, fraud, sexual harassment, or domestic abuse to have an Article 15 after 15 years. Also, try becoming an officer for the Air Force before going Army. You'll sleep better.

I would worry about that. I have no experience in military yet (OCS this summer USMC) but my dad was in the corps for a while then left to get a different job since he was moved from flying to some gay acquisitions shit, and with the experience from being an officer and all he was easily able to get a nice government job. I'm sure you could do the same, even if you arent in a pilot position. Either way, 20 years or not, youll be much, much better off than going the teacher route.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice.

Don’t be good, don’t be bad
Don’t be happy, don’t be sad

>Make small talk with cashiers, your neighbors, people waiting next to you in lines, etc.
Great advice desu. Once I opened up and started making small talk it made me feel better about myself somehow. Even just a smile and "hi, how are ya" to the cute cashier

It's not a sin, it's just that our society is being intentionally obfuscatory about the consequences, and THAT is a sin. And that sin is itself just another product of the deeper sin that is the ideology of liberalism, which itself is a product of the protestant heresy and the schism of the Holy Mother Church.

Learn you something today.

Hey user, are you in your teens or early 20s? Want to time travel?
>Drink a lot of alcohol.
>Get into a long term relationship with a histrionic girl.
>Get a job with no future that doesn't require learning new skills.
>Keep playing video games and reading the same social forums for the majority of your free time.
>Never talk to new people.
>Watch a lot of youtube and netflix.
>Become above average in a competitive video game and make your social life revolve around it.

Before you know it, BAM. You'll be 30 and nothing will have changed except your hairline.

>Literally everyone has faced the existential question at some point in their lives and most likely transcended it
That's the goal, my dude. Pic related.

Well don't be an emotionless automaton, but rationality is immensely important.
Be effective, not affective.

Stop looking for the approval of other people
Find out what it is you want and do away with nonsense like guilt and social expectations

The only person you should ever be scared to disappoint is yourself

Officer idiot. Do it. AI will replace teachers in a heartbeat and online prerecorded courses will terminate fagchers.

literally just this

t. coal burner

No one will ever notice you and no one will ever help you with your problems.
You have to help yourself and make yourself noticed.

The opposite of this is correct.

This is also me right now. 30 yr old time traveler checking in.

Every person is completely selfish. True altruism never occurs. Same goes for your mother.

this
literally no one gives a fuck about you besides yourself.

Nobody will ever love or respect you more than you do.
So man the fuck up and learn to love yourself and respect yourself.

If you do the 2 for 5.99 each on dominos website, and get a hand made pan pizza, you can get double cheese on it for free. I got a pizza for 8 bucks that had 3200 calories in it. You end up spending $20 for roughly 5500-6500+ calories. This factors out

to about 300+ calories per dollar. Better than a cheese burger at mcdonalds. It's the perfect bulk meal

>catholic

Enjoy going to hell user

>everyone is completely selfish

this is only a technicality.

>it's a "Catholic thinks it's possible to make it while being a slave to a man-made institution of archaic dogma" episode
Faith is Alpha, but the Roman Cathcucks are not.

This is 100% correct

Don't ask how I know HAHAHAHAHA

Stop having vicarious experiences.

>TV shows
>movies
>video games
>theme parks
>online friends
>MMOs
>Veeky Forums

These are vicarious experiences.

You are wired to want adventure, and romance, and drama, because all humans do. You want to be the master of an epic plot.

But you are also lazy. Doing these things in real life is hard. Adventures are dangerous. Romance takes time, and effort. We are risk-averse creatures.

So we retreat to the comfort of vicarious experiences.

TV allows us to pretend we are having adventures, and to socialize with our friends as if we are having adventures, when in reality you're just spending your lift sitting in front of a screen.

No one, on their deathbed, looks back and says, "Wow--I wish I'd spent more of my life sitting in front of a screen."

Do things that scare the shit out of you.

- Going somewhere you've never been before
- Talking to someone in public you're nervous to talk to
- Trying that food you've always thought you've hated
- Picking up a hobby that cuts against the kind of person you think you are

We build narratives around who we are and box ourselves into them, because it's easy to do so, and because society is constructed around the expectation that we'll do so.

It's easy to spend money.
It's easy to spend every day rotating between your bed, your job, and your television.

It's hard to have experiences that aren't vicarious, but real.

Go out.

Go have them.

Do things you won't wish you hadn't on your deathbed.

Do the things that will make you look back and smile about. Or cringe about. Or laugh about. Or have SOME EMOTION about.

Because vicarious experiences are lost life. They are life holding down the fast forward button. Your life is slipping through your fingers like sand, and you're living through the eyes of someone else, sitting through the couch.

Stop it.

Live it through your own eyes.

>never stay in your room/inside by yourself for any longer than you have to

This is good advice, even just going for a slow walk is better than this

Do the 24 hour rule to stop yourself from buying useless shit. If you want something, see if you still have the same desire for it 24 hours later.

Stop watching porn, fill your day so that you are always busy and you won't even notice that you aren't jerking it

I feel so much better when I do no porn and only jerk it 5 times a week.

NEVER wear a condom when fucking. If you’re gay or fucking black chicks it’s a different story. But straight dudes just pull out or nut in her ass.

I snapped my shit doing really heavy weighted situps (1/2 bodyweight).
Apparently that's a really unsafe way to load weight on your lower back so keep it to accessory weight levels.
Also Yohimbine HCL is the best supp investment I've ever made.

Why is the younger generation so condom adverse? i always wear one when fucking some girl I'm not monogamous with. I have to deliver the news to some young adult almost weekly that the routine pre surgery HIV screen was positive. That aside, gonorrhea and chlamydia still suck ass to get.

Learned this 2 years ago. Now people respect me even more.

>HIV
not a problem if you don’t fuck dudes or black women. Everything else you just take a pill for.

Ooof. You better delet this post buddy

But you fucked a white woman who fucked a white guy last year that fucked a black woman with HIV the year before that.

Do you not know how disease transmission works?

Elaborate plz

It's not something easily explained, and honestly, I think it's only fully realized through personal experience. There's a good reason why Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most successful form of therapy to date. And its because our thoughts are so important when it comes to how we perceive the world.

I have social anxiety and today I was so fucking fed up of feeling like a victim, I smiled and talked to everyone I came across. I think there is something
To positive thinking, or thinking you can do something, if that’s what you’re getting at

kinda

If you've been smoking weed practically everyday for a long stretch of time you should give it a rest for a bit and if/when you return to it rarely if ever smoke more than once a week.
I lost 3+ years of my life to being stoned and didn't even enjoy it that much.

Teaching is degenerate, but atleast become a professor in a hard to get college if you really want to be an educator

Allahu Akbar

>Teaching is degenerate
Would you care to elaborate on this?

willrobotstakemyjob.com/25-3999-teachers-and-instructors-all-other

I'd need years of grad school and qualifications, and publications for that, and I've had enough academia for one life time.

If he elaborates then he'did be teaching you, which is degenerate

Shiiieeet

u dont look at the mantle when ur poking the fire

was fagchers meant as teachers? That seems strained and gay

I've learned much from studying the new testament and the buddha. It's sociable to just give into substances and party all the time, but I feel that if you find those who respect you for your self control they'll be better friends than anyone you'll ever meet clubbing. And that's just it. You treat others with respect to make them respect you. In a way, make them fear not having your respect anymore, because you've become that awesome of a person.

"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both."

Be the both.

if this is sex advice it's one of the best sayings ive seen

doing something to anothers benefit, even though it makes the actor happy, doesn't take much away from the act. There's a difference between hedonism and self-sacrifice for another.
even though they're both done with yourslef in mind.

F her right in her P

well spoken friend

The thing is if your motives are based around regret you'll be able to find something to regret on your deathbed regardless

My advice is don't worry about regretting stuff life will turn out how it will turn out you have no real control over it (google determinism, once you understand that, understand that even though you have no control there's is no way Act as if you don't therefore what is meant to be will be how you decide do so things but not really)

delete dis

Erh I'm 26 and I never use them because I'd just rather enjoy myself than live my life in fear
Plus the idea that you're playing with fire makes things more exciting, like when you drive drunk or pin; the idea that 'i shouldn't be doing this'

>rather enjoy myself than live my life in fear
Enjoy living with the reality that you have AIDS

well...yeah. You have to realize that most, if not all, acts of selflessness are derived from selfishness.

I had the same issue that talks about. My counselor recommended "As You Think" by Marc Allen. Very spiritually worded but very practical. Also try "PsychoCybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz.

It's not as simple as being optimistic.
See

It's basically saying "Her face doesn't matter if you just plan to fuck her"

>Be NEET for 4 years
>Start getting my shit together
>Start by making an appointment to get my leaner's permit
>Start feeling really insecure because there are high schoolers doing the same thing
>22 years old and wasted 4 years of the best part of my life

How do I stop feeling this way?

You don't stop the feels. You just push through them.

>friend and i have exact same birthday, year and all
>same hospital
>went to same highschool

the first day he could he got his license. that same day i got my learners. i always felt behind him and insecure, but those feelings are only temporary. the truth is everyone feels like that. i was thinking "yikes all these older kids are here. im only 17" when i got my license, and im sure he was thinking the same thing.

Once you get your life sorted out, you'll look back and wonder why you ever worried in the first place.

>something something crusaders
Crusaders were tools used by the Church to whipe out people they didn't like and to boost the faith of the peasants by sending their sons die for god, the Cathares never did anything wrong

I'll try.

Oh my god, same user. I have a twin sister and she has her license, a fiance, job and a house, while I have none of those things.

>church

is this nigger serious?
i cant tip a fedora that big

Make a to-do list and tick it off during the day.

Learn to meditate, do it daily, as early as you can.

You can't feel good 100% of the time. What you can do is minimize how long you hold on to bad moods.

Bad moods will necessarily come and go. Trying to force them away makes it worse.

Do not date a woman who gives it up too easily. Ignore mainstream feminist nonsense, sexual history matters and it says stuff about people (this applies, albeit a bit less, to men as well).

If you're going to do NoFap, truly find something to redirect your energy to. Just replacing it with casual sex or forcing yourself to stay bottled up accomplishes nothing.

When you meditate and throughout the day, think of 1-3 things that you are grateful for. Prime yourself to feel gratitude more easily.

Perspective - use it or lose it. Remember what your plan was when you set on down a certain path.

Love yourself. If you don't truly want yourself to be happy, none of this matters.

As Lynrd Skynrd said:

Jokes on you in 23 and bald my hairline isn't changing

kys

Don't be fat

>never stay in your room/inside by yourself for any longer than you have to
I did that ;_;

Alright buddy, anyone with an internet connection has the ability to watch Jordan Peterson. You're not special for regurgitating his own lectures word-for-word.

GET INTO THE FUCK BOY ZONE EARLY AND GET INTO THE FUCK BOY ZONE FAST.
If you fuck this up, you're a creep and girls hate you. I swear to god my fuckbuddies tell me how guys do the cringiest shit, but to me it sounds like really cool and sweet shit, except they don't want to hear any of it from someone they're not fucking. SO FUCK ASAP AND SPEND NOTHING ON THEM UNTIL AFTER U'VE SEXED AND MAYBE NOT EVEN THEN
