>>77152706I optimized for surrogate activities by moving in with my mom at 34. Normally I'd spend weeks just to muster the motivation to tidy up my apartment, but now I'm outsourcing menial tasks to my family, freeing me up to whole-ass my short term lock-ins.Conventional markers of success (career, family etc.) are now farther away than ever, but I'm having a hoot and a half just gamifying my day-to-day life.
It's my 4th day without porn. It's not my first attempt, so I know the first few days usually feel good because this is the point when you realize you were drowning and now you can finally catch some air. But the majority of the 4 days were weekends, and that's easy, because weekends are busy. But once WFH starts and you just wait for the code to run in the empty house it's going to get harder. Especially when asshole colleagues start coming with stupid requests and the stress are going to start building up. That's the point when my mind usually starts looking for a sedative. I've set up timers on most social media sites so I don't doomscroll endlessly. I just hope I can hold on until my mind learns to handle stress, boredom and isolation without pornography, and can also learn to live without endless novelty seeking and being always high.Another change I started is scaling down. I know that self improvement is great, but I think I've overdone it. I had too many "good" habits and goals and standards they turned against me. I was overly critical of myself and if I missed even just a day or half a day of the strict schedule I've set for myself I hated myself for it endlessly. It felt suffocating. So I throw stuff out, like meditation and ditched veganism (being vegan is not hard if you just don't want to eat animal products, but keeping it high protein, clean AND compatible with thyroid medication is an optimization hell I just couldn't live with anymore). I also downscaled my goals. No more chasing marathons and having 2-3 calisthenics goals ahead of me, reminding me daily what a piece of shit I am because I haven't achieved them yet. So now my main focus is "just" pumping up pull up reps, maybe learning the front lever, and trying to palm the floor as a mobility goal (I can already thumb the floor after like 3 months of practice, but that stalled, but anyway), and cardio is strictly on maintenance. Maybe less is more as they used to say. We'll see.
>>77152205You have to keep looking for a new job. I know it's discouraging getting rejected/ghosted, but the only way to escape is to keep applying. Good luck!
>>77151818I just keep thinking maybe there's no point lifting anymore. No point getting bigger. She still won't Want be no matter his big I get.
>>77152208Are you getting enough protein? Maybe you're trying to lose too much too quickly

It's not my recipe, but I meal prep Bryan Johnson's super veggie every weekday.https://youtu.be/wHx51zMqmcgSome changes I make to make it a bit cheaper and easier (for 5 meals)>I add 2 chicken breasts (approx. 700g)>I use 1kg frozen broccoli and 500g frozen cauliflower>I use 500g sliced regular mushrooms instead of shiitake>I use bottled lemon juice (you can find it in the sauce section)>I use black lentils now, but French lentils are very similar if you can't find them>Cumin is way cheaper from either the Indian section or a separate Indian grocery, don't buy it from the spice section.>I boil the garlic and the ginger (both sliced) with the lentils - just add them a bit before the endAlso some technique tips that I share any time I get a chance:>The lentils just get rinsed, boiled for 25min and drained, they don't need to soak.>Fry the whole chicken breasts for 4 min per side, and then put them in a 200C oven for 13min. Let them rest while you serve up the other ingredients.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

How long since your last cig?Why'd you quit?How you holding up?
>>77152686Just keep lowering the dose and frequency until you only have one a day. I wouldn't do one day breaks. If you can go one day, you can go two. If you can go two, you can go three and so on.
>>77151805Friday night was the last smoke hopefully everI've been smoking on and off for 18 years and this time it isn't hard at all compared to other attempts at quitting.I'm chewing nicotine gum but only 5-6 pieces a day. Going to switch from 4mg to 2mg in a week or so and then stop a while after thatI've only craved a cigarette once but the nicotine cravings are still there

starting vaping 2026, quit about 8 or 9 times since then mostly lasting between 1-3 months every time. the problem is everyone in my friend circle vapes, which I can sometimes tolerate until I drink a bunch then it's over. I'm one week in, hoping it sticks this time

>>77152113>If you are between 10-15% body fat with lovehandlesThat's very rare though. Fact is that most people think they're way lower bodyfat than they really are. There's always some faggot with a full blown gut and bitch tits who claims to be 18% bf.As a general rule, for normal people who are not autistic about fitness and don't compete or anything, whatever number you think you're at add 5. If you think you're 10% you're probably more like 15% in most cases. Think you're 16%, you're probably closer to 21%

So is there a consensus regarding seed oils and how they are possibly related to the increase in chronic diseases and especially obesity in prety much all developed nations?In a span of 100-50 years things like obesity, cancer and heart strokes went through the roof. I don't get why people don't sound the alarm yet. Can people even conceptualize statistics such as>40% of the US population is obese>1/3 of people die from cancer or some cardiovascular diseasewe are talking about hundreds of millions affected and it's probably not even their fault.And this is not a local occurence only, nations such as Japan (considered among the healthiest and most lean in the world) are also experiecing the same even if to a smaller degree. In Italy according to recent reports 40% of children are also obese. Those are staggering numbers and nobody seems to care about it.So what is going on exactly? The science is clear: omega6/omega3 (found in vegetable oils) is not dangerous to your health and it can actually contribute to lower cardiovascular risks among other things. There's literally a wikipedia page that essentially designates anyone who tries to question this as a right-leaning person (I'm not joking and this is retarded, what's up with this binary thinking that if you don't agree with X then you are part of Y group), but something definitely has changed because the numbers don't lie, a thousand-fold increase in the incidence of something is not made out of thin air.Other usual suspects:- Fast-food / Ultra-processed food and it's prevalence in the western diet- Air/water quality, no strict filtering regulations- People generally move less than before but that wouldn't explain a 40% obesity rate
>>77150029During World War II, shortages of fossil fuels prompted the widespread use of vegetable oils as substitutes for paint thinners and engine lubricants. Countries like the US, China, Japan, Brazil, and India turned to oils such as rapeseed (early canola), tung, cottonseed, basedbean, and castor to fuel vehicles, lubricate warships and aircraft engines, and produce fuels like diesel and kerosene through cracking processes. Vegetable oils filled critical gaps in industrial needs. High-viscosity oils like castor powered jet and diesel engines, while rapeseed lubricated military hardware; glycerin from fats even greased guns and supported explosives production. After the war, surplus vegetable oils lost their industrial market as cheap petroleum returned. Producers, especially in Canada, bred low-erucic-acid rapeseed varieties—removing bitter, harmful compounds—to purify the oil to food-grade standards, rebranding it as "canola" (Canadian Oil, Low Acid) for cooking and consumer products.
>>77152440Sneed oil consumers are consuming "food grade" (just means high purity) engine lubricant and paint thinner.Also this>>77150898
>>77152370>why no mention of rapeseed oilit is thoughcanola = rapeseedtechnically canola is a variety of rapeseedbut it's the most widely, (somewhat) exclusively grown onecanola / rapeseed is actually one of the best / healthiest seed oilshas about a 2:1 omega 6 to 3 ratio and a reasonably high smoking pointway better than e.g. sunflower or soibean oilin the EU you mostly get the cold pressed, unfiltered variant (which is literally just seeds pressed)in the USA they overwhelmingly sell the chemical solved variant, which is missing all the plant secondary metabolism compounds
>>77150029>So is there a consensus regarding seed oilsYes, but the 4chan consensus differs from the scientific consensus, the latter being that seed oils are generally regarded as safe.>In a span of 100-50 years things like obesity, cancer and heart strokes went through the roof>So what is going on exactly?People are rightly noticing that a lot of things are going to shit, and don't really have the tools to analyze why. Some folks latch onto a single problem, like health outcomes, and attach it to a single cause, like seed oils, making up a conspiracy whose abolition will definitely solve everything.The truth though is that we're experiencing broader societal decay, and that our present economic strategies are unable to reverse or even stop this decay. We currently prioritize what is profitable, which has meant deepening the system of imperialism over the last 100 years, a system where we export capital and violence in order to have the rewards shipped safely to within our borders. This means exporting our very ability to survive; talent, industry, manufacturing... anything you'd call "outsourcing". What this leaves us as is a nation of highly profitable investors or service industry workers, who relies on the treats being shipped to us from the third world for survival. We don't know how to survive anymore.In the limit, this will end in so much expertise being shipped to the third world that they are able to resist our violence and end the export of treats back to us. We will be left with nothing but money and weapons, with no skills or industry for survival. Complete societal collapse of the first world. This is already starting to happen.So please stop focusing on this sneed oil bullshit. We need to learn how to be self-sufficient as a nation again.

>>77152905If you work in a chair you should really be keeping your squat plug in all day it helps you keep proper posture and prevents sagging of the innards from gravity
>>77152905Just sit up straight lol. The only people who do ruin their backs always sit like literal goblins and hunch over. Good posture might not always feel the most comfortable but in the long run you need it for the spine gains. Make good posture a habit starting now.
>>77152905I have that exact piece of shit. You don't. It's bad chair. I suppose you could get a lumbar pillow or something and cushions for the arm rests but you're better off just getting a less bad chair that can recline even a little. This chair always feels like it's trying to spill ya so you do weird shit with your back to center your gravity and it just wrecks ya.
>>77152905these kinds of chairs are always formed for 'perfect posture', but if you sit down for more than an hour then you should be constantly shifting around

>>77130712Is there any point in trying to change running cadence. I’m 30, 6ft3 and average cadence is 164 when doing 4:20km pace. I’ve been running two years.I tried running with a metronome but once I stop using it I go back to my usual cadence.
>>77152535I’ll deload when I’m too old to run anymore
>>77153063There's a certain amount of influence from personal "geometry" - pendulum length and weight of muscle on limbs. 164 isn't far off 180 so I wouldn't worry too much. That said, if you do want to change frequency then you need to work at it constantly to reprogram your cns so that it becomes automatic. Do your runs with an increased cadence but shorter stride so they remain within target effort.
>>77153205Also make sure your core strength is good.
