I'm gonna side with the mods.

I'm undoubtedly the biggest troll here - with the caveat that I've actually read a ton of ICM lit and am not simply some mouthbreathing WN or lolbertarian.

They are extremely chill as far as leftoids go.

.org mods are demented genderfags with unbalanced hormones who sit at their computers all day, deleting posts and screaming about touching grass.

>>1373

>>1374
Go back to .org and cry about it there

>>1375

>>1376
I do nazi your post there..

I cleaned really well and organized but deff need to get into reading it's so hard. Best advice for reading?

>>1337
Pick a genre you enjoy reading or at least feel like you're getting something out of.

Don't try to force yourself to read something because you 'should.'

Personally, I read a ton, but I have somewhat narrow tastes. This just kinda came up in my life because my gf mentioned she was thinking about getting me a book for Xmas but said she wasn't sure if I would like the book she got or not. This was good intuition on her part, since I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed just any book.
If you're not sure what genre you even like, I'd recommend checking out historical fiction since it combines many different elements and interests.

Secondly, set a very low bar for success. Instead of telling yourself you're going to read 20 pages a day, tell yourself you're going to read 1. Then, if you want, stop after you finish that one page. That way, you're more likely to start since reading 1 page is a much smaller time/effort commitment.

Likewise, pick a time and place ahead of time. 'Im going to read 1 page in the afternoon while drinking coffee at the cafe by my house' is much more clear plan/goal than 'im going to read 1 page.'
That way, you have less to decide when the time comes to put your plan into action, and won't be as affected by descision fatigue or choice paralysis.

These threads should be revived

This year I've been depressed as fuck all the time. What's causing it and what do I do to solve it?

-Tracked basic habits like morning exercise, gym, and content creation daily 6/7days
-Bought a couple pair of shoes that were cheap but look ok. The main pair of dark shoes I had been wearing were 2nd hand shoes that were looking pretty worn out and overly casual.
-Kinda a busy week with random social lunches, so my gym routine was disrupted. Have also been lazy about cardio (just 2 bike rides) and acting like a pussy about mildly cold weather. Also, I quit nicotine last week, which has fucked up my dopamine levels. So I've been sleeping in a lot and feeling unmotivated. I need to quit being a bitch asap.

The first thing to check is the basics.
If you are eating shit food and are poorly nourished, barely spend time outdoors, have a literally toxic environment from industrial, are surrounded by draining and miserable people, then it will be impossible to feel good.
It's not going to hurt you to take a multivitamin and occasionally go on megadose regimes of vitamin c, b vitamins, or d. The FDA recommendations should be regarded as bare minimums - in some cases you want to be aiming daily for 2 or 3x times the given amount. Routine physical activity, fresh air, sunshine, and nature help a lot and should all be nonnegotiable features of your life. Depressed landscapers are exceptionaly rare. Plants have been shown to improve moods of people, so having them around in your space doesn't hurt either.

Within the biochemical frame, also look at the most basic thing. a lot of mood disorders like depression come down to dopamine and serotonin. Engaging in diet and activities which mind this, especially over the long run, can be a key to success and basic levels of happiness. Again diet and supplements, exercise, and sleep, all come into play here.

A cognitive lens would suggest looking into the way you look at things.
There is more and less useful/advantageous ways of frame things. Be mindful of that. Likewise, a lot of anxiety stems from 'should': expectations which might not align with probable reality as it exists. Dealing with past trauma would also be a feature, if there is a specific issue. I'd avoid 'therapy' in which you endlessly examine the bad. Rather, it's important to develop specific cognitive frames which are both useful long term and serve as a sort of emotional regulator to life's inevitable issues and features. A basic cognitive framing question would be, 'do you see life as a series of things that happen to you or for you,' for example.

A certain existential school might say you need to create and surpass reasonable challenges to transform yourself into something anew, as well. Learn something new, face a big, somewhat absurd but doable long term physical challenge. Again, you're probably not going to regret learning a language, doing a marathon, joining a boxing gym, or trekking somewhere. More likely, there's something uniquely personal that you've wanted to do for a while but have held off on, and in pursuing Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

i pooed in the toilet and now im a better person from it

We are not the same

I done something that I have been worrying about for a while and I easily could have bailed on. Proud of myself for that, even if it wasn't a great experience.

I started going back to the gym today.
Fuck depres. Jogged 2.10 Mike's in 30 minutes.

I got a haircut and sorted some stuff out with my bills, which involved calling (scary) the government. Other than that a pretty meh week for achievements.

>>1322
Whoa. That's kinda cool that you did what you had to do. I know I avoid the govt at all costs, so props for that. Keep chugging forward.

Get a prostitute for your birthday

>>1314
Don't get a prostitute. Probably the worst thing you could do, unless you want to be a trick.

Every little action is a vote for the sort of person you want to become. By getting a prostitute, you're telling your inner self, 'Im the type of guy who can only get laid if I pay for it.' Absolutely disasterous for your self image.

For your birthday, grab a (preferably non alcoholic) drink with a friend or acquaintance, if you have nothing else planned. As for getting laid easily, shooting for less than hot girls makes it easier. So does booze. But you want to use both as a stepping stone to better things without getting stuck using either as a long term crutch.

I think I'm getting over my fear of speaking to women my own age. In work I can now talk to my zoomer female coworkers pretty easily.

>>1316
Awesome. Congrats man. The first few steps are always the hardest.

What if I can do drugs and drink occasionally but have the mental fortitude to still adhere to my diet and exercise routine?

>>1318
If you get the results you want, then don't let some anon retard tell you you're wrong

I'm learning to play openTTD don't know if this counts but it's hard as fuck.

>>1311
No idea what that is. Respect

I started NoPorn this week let's see how it goes

>>1296
Nice, anon.

Porn is cuck training. Jerking off to a chick you're attracted to getting banged by another dude. As a habit, it only hurts you.

>>1305
