Getting my shit in order (again). Had a heart valve infection last year when I was in the best shape of my life and after I couldn't lift or do anything for a while. Then when cleared I fell into booze and being lame. Broke up with GF and now after series of uphill treadmill, I'm ready to lift again. Starting today

/sig/ is back btw

>>77164573

This week I will go to hell (DMV) to accomplish a formidable task (getting a new in state drivers license and a new license plate)

>>77165865
Happy Monday, Brosephs. New week, same (slightly amended given recent developments) goals.
>wife's butthole: any%
>treadmill until abs
>big lifting, little eating

Except none of that is going to happen this or next week. Currently have a houseguest, then when that person leaves I get about 36 hours before getting on a plane for slightly early spring break departure.

So I'm spinning my wheels now, then I'm traipsing all over a foreign country with the family, then I'll probably catch something on the plane back (always do) and be knocked out of the race for an extra week or two.

But this is that real life I'm supposed to be living, so I'm going to enjoy it. Time enough for starving myself and autistically hiking all day on an incline treadmill with my wife's asshole as the metaphorical carrot on stick when I get back. And these trips tend to be neutral, in terms of weight gain/loss - get enough steps in as a tourist to counterbalance eating garbage. It'll be good, net positive etc.

Hope you guys have a good couple of weeks ahead of you here, too.

not a bad week, finally finished American Psycho so i got to cross that off the backlog. listened through some motivational audiobook my FIL recommended and did that while playing through one of the games in my backlog. Underrated thing about no voice acting is that you can do that.
Volunteered at the fish fry, they threw me right into the dishwashing station that I haven't done in probably 20 years, chef was a total character that made me miss the industry for about five seconds before realizing i was a drug addicted alcoholic when i was in the industry and would be dead by now.
My weight is just stuck at 205. it's not like i didn't eat anything because weekend but it looks like im gonna spend the next week figuring out how i'm going to easily track calories. getting a ton of blood tests done this week because of some credit card deal, that'll be fun to go through.
gotta get to driving range this week and book another lesson.
wife wants me to stop drinking until she's pregnant and blew up at me for saying i dont see any reason why i need to and that i was still thinking about it. i'm pretty close to this but just going to keep it under seven a week, never more than two a day.
Goals this week: Finish FF2, finish beer book, get to driving range, order sperm test, write, and figure out calorie counting solution

>>77166109
Why does she want you to stop drinking? Is she worried about your ability to plow her field?

she (and mostly her mom) are the classic confirmation bias type combined with this binary mindset. she wants the best chance for us to conceive, which is of course a good thing. thing is, if i was drinking as much as i was even a year ago, which still wasn't even that much, then sure, it would move the needle a tiny bit on my sperm health, which as of seven months ago was all within healthy ranges and that was before i was taking supplements.
i fully acknowledge that totally abstaining would be the actual best, but the amount and frequency i drink now is negligible. and i'll be damned if i promise to quit doing anything because her mom googled some bullshit and found a redditor saying that they gave up drinking. i'm not the healthiest 40 year old i know but in terms of lifestyle i'm pretty fucking close. she's just frustrated because she didn't get pregnant right away again

The streak of parties every weekend that I've had since february ended yesterday. Finally I'll start having normal weekends with nothing to do but gym, work and household stuff. Finally not hungover on sunday and still exhausted on monday.
This shit takes a toll on one. When I was 20 partying every week was fine but now that I'm almost 30 and have a ton of responsibility it's exhausting. I welcome getting old and just not feeling like going out.

>health advice from Mom
Big oof. 20 years ago I wound up with a payment plan on an ER bill because my mother convinced me I was dying. It was IBS resulting from following her advice about pre- and probiotic cultures for gut health having an effect on seasonal allergies.

She's the houseguest, actually, and I'm just listening to her talk about the same garbage she always has been and trying my best to let it go out the other ear. Low carb this, wheat belly that, now she's making her own yogurt and thinks it would solve every problem in the world but you have to spike the initial culture with this particular something or other she got from a guy on facebook? YouTube? Fox News? I don't even know where she gets her bullshit from these days.

Anyway. Good luck, friend. Getting your swimmers tested can give you ammo against her, but if it comes back as anything other than stellar then you better doctor that paperwork before she sees it. Kinda went through the same thing with our second, but finally got her pregnant right before I was about to have to change my lifestyle. Sometimes it just takes time and effort, dangit.

>>77166192
you are a moron, stop drinking for fucks sake. even just to show her you can for a few months.

I need motivation bros I'm 35 and single

I have been on the longest alcohol binge of my life
I have been drinking 12-18 beers every other day for about a month
I quit my job because I was either drunk or hungover every day
emptying my savings
losing friends because I cancel everything

hit rock bottom this Friday as I pass out in my apartment after drinking 14 beers and 1 bottle of shitty white wine
decide to quit cold turkey
have horrible nightmares saturday night
weird hallucinations and seeing shapes on my falls sunday night

today I read up about DT and seizure and I'm scared of dying
I have no shakes no tremors no sweating, honestly I feel fine physically, it's just the nightmares and weird visions that scare me

any advice?

>>77166234
NTA. Bad precedent. Every step yeilded now is a step towards total subservience. Compromise is the correct way forward, which it sounds like he has already done by drastically reducing consumption.

>>77166258
Yeah, don't cold turkey. Do some research and then plot out a steady reduction. Write that plan down and stick to it.

i have nothing to prove you retarded faggot. even if i stop i'm not going to promise it.

>>77166222
yeah the new agey stuff thankfully isn't so much the problem but her mom was a nurse and is very much a byproduct of the "fat is bad" 90s crap so most of the shit she eats isn't even real. sugar free this, "not butter" that. when she was pregnant last time she convinced her to not drink ginger beer even though yogurt also has trace amounts of alcohol.
picrel is my sperm test from age 36 when i was def an alcoholic compared to last year. this was before supplements and drinking even less. i'm anticipating even better numbers this time around but need to order the test.

>>77166258
if you haven't drank since Friday and it's monday, you're probably through the worst of it anyway. you would have had the DT and seizures already. your sleep is probably going to be shit for a bit but you are actually sleeping so that's actually a pretty good sign in its own right.

My advice is to find a group. You are correct in that you need motivation but first you need stability.

>>77166272
>bro posting his loads on a Mongolian basket weaving forum
Nice loads, though. Yeah, I guess double down on the why of it. So long as your swimmers are good, she can't say much of substance. She'll probably still make noise about it, but for every single thing she says you can bust out the test results.

Last week I had a porn free week, the first one in a while. I mean as porn free as you can get nowadays on the internet, of course, but at least I wasn't gooning hours almost every day. (I don't say it's easy, and I know it's going to get harder, but I try to hold my position.) I'm not sure whether because of this or because I'm trying to stop become a perfectionist, but I haven't felt this good in my body in ages. It might sound heretical, but... I think I'm finally sorta satisfied when I look into the mirror. I also had a mindset shift. I always wanted to learn skateboarding but somehow I never got around to do it, but realized that calisthenics and yoga could be my skateboarding, learning and mastering tricks and poses. I wonder whether I'm ever going to get there, but I haven't got this "enjoying the journey" kind of feel in a long while, so that's nice.
I've put timers on social media and meme sites, and interestingly most of the days I ended up spending even less time on those places. Like I tell myself don't waste all my credits now because I might need them later, and as a result I barely go there. And even when I do they just somehow don't tickle my dopamine receptors as they used to. This also made me realize that without knowing it social media really had an affect on my mental health. Seeing a showreel of everyone's cherry picked best moments really has a toll in your soul, or at least on mine. Comparison is the thieve of joy or something.
Take care!

Compromise is yielding, "Uncompromising" is a sexy word for a reason. With that being said, your wife cares about the health of the two of you, and drinking threatens your shared health

>>77166870

You shouldn't deal with dts if you've already been dry for a few days. If you keep drinking you could end up there. The sleep will be shit for a while, get to bed early and always get up at the same time regardless of how the sleeping went. Replace drinking with something, anything.

one of the pilonidal cyst anons from last month here
thing got inflamed and filled up with puss, had to go to the hospital to get it cut open and drained, then I visited a private proctologist and he told me to get a special ultrasound to see what it's like and I'm gonna have to pay a bunch of money for surgery next year as I can't be bothered with the laser treatment

I also got appendicitis at the beginning of march and have been sitting on sick leave since then
tomorrow I'm gonna have the stitches removed which is nice

What is less nice is that all this shit delayed my training by over a month and now I'm gonna have to be extra careful post surgery.
I also way overate yesterday.
Bills are getting higher and I have to save up to renovate my apartment (in order to sell it).

BUT
Today I'm back on track with my diet, I'm gonna order a bike pump and get my bike in working order and start riding it this week. Then sometime at the start of april I'm going back to the gym. Also I now have hybrid work 2 days at the office and 3 days from home which is gonna let me pay extra good attention to diet and training.

Never give up anons, even if everything seems to be going against you at once.

I WILL LEARN THAT I PASSED MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM NEXT MONTH
I WILL SURVIVE THIS JOB
I WILL REGAIN MY STRENGTH
I WILL IMPROVE MY LIFE

My results are roughly 2 weeks away. I feel like this time I’ve barely thought about my results. I’ve been way too busy with work and life to overwhelm myself with hypotheticals. I need to pray that my best was enough to succeed. I will make it over this mountain.

Work has been insanely stressful. Although the amount of work has declined, my boss keeps on making bullshit projects for my team to work on. My dream is still to leave this role after I pass my exam. 1.5 years in a position is sufficient but 2 years would demonstrate that I’m reliable. In any case, I need to keep pushing forward.

Stay strong frens! The world is challenging us but we shall rise to the occasion. WAGMI!

I bought a ukelele for my gen alpha nephew for his birthday that's in a couple of weeks.

I've learned some songs to teach him, never really played an instrument before but I've been enjoying learning to play this funny little guitar.

thanks fellas (: it was worth it but the past two years have been grueling. now that im making actual real money im setting a rule of taking at least one small and one big (intercontinental, 7 days +) vacation per year.

also - in case anyone doesn't know this. you will never ever make more money in your life than the time you spend negotiating salary at your job. i had almost zero leverage for this one (unemployed, not a lot of experience in this industry) but i simply said
>i looked up compensation estimates for my background, can you do a little bit higher? i'll probably say yes either way, though

and they raised it $5k just like that. which means I have $5k solely dedicated to a trip to europe or something this year. plus, i have my american express points that will outright pay for my flight. very grateful they were nice enough to do that, but it just goes to show that you can get a lot of things simply for having the guts to ask.

calisthenics
pullups pushups bodyweight squats dips
pick up something heavy and carry it
ez pz free workout. and i dont want to hear that you dont have a pullup bar or dip bar, if you cant make one out of your environment, you need to be exercising your brain before your body anyway

oh and hanging leg raises

>>77174025
and this is coming from a 10 year lifter who had to switch to planet fitness because my gym closed, so i switched to calisthenics and it's such an interesting shift into just mastering my own body rather than external weight. i dont feel as brutishly strong but i definitely feel a bit healthier

>>77173652
Congrats! After a certain point, all lifters embrace this truth

>>77173708
Focus on building yourself up first. Ace those interviews and keep lifting. If you really regret breaking up with her in a month, then reach out to her casually. You’re making progress, so don’t feel down

>>77173888
As this anon suggested: >>77174025
I think one of those tower things with dipping bars and a pull up bar is the best investment you can make, especially seeing the prices of gym memberships nowadays.
But if your goal is better mental health then maybe buy a pair of good shoes and get into running. Maybe it's just me, but nothing clears my mind more than an hour or a half on the track.

>>77173888
Research running or calisthenics. You can definitely find a local park to practice the latter in

>>77166258
Ur fine bro u might get some shakes some fear for a few days but trust me when I say stop now and don't look back it gets worse worse and way worse and after that total oblivion

>work at grocery store
>have this fat asshole manager, kind of retard who thinks because he’s black he’s hard or some natural fighter, guy is just a fat soft pussy like actually gummy bear mode couldn’t even make eye contact with me
>was very passive aggressive to me, made all manner of insults from calling me fat to making fun of me for being white just within earshot never directly to my face would go hush hush if I looked at him or he thought I was going to confront him, just spineless
He was a shit talker, a little bitch. He got moved eventually to a new store. I left that job. It’s been over a year since, and he started at my local store across the street from me.
I feel rage seeing this faggot.
I want to go in and tell his boss all of what he did and said, the ways he would hit on underage employees as a 33 year old man, all of it. Just so they can “keep an eye on him”.


But I feel like there’s a better way to proceed. I just don’t know what it is. I’ve gotten pretty confrontational since. I just know when he sees me he’s going to have some shit to say under his breath or to whatever nearby employee. Like if the first words out of his mouth aren’t “I’m sorry” I’m probably going to have a field day.
The only move I can think of is to continue getting myself back in shape so I can mog this fat clown and bully him back say something to the effect of “wow I can’t believe this is who was calling ME fat you look 9 months pregnant” but idk. Inb4 the best move is to ngaf, his shit will still ensue me being a customer won’t change anything with this gargantuan bitch. I’m 6’2” lean at 190 like 250 atm so still too fat for it to matter. He’s maybe 5’10” 330lbs dyel

Anon, are you in fact, fat?
Is getting in shape, strong, proper grooming, proper clothing maybe the best way to counter these insults and any upcoming insult?
May it lay the way for better interactions with other people in general?
Can you use the hate to fuel your journey to improve yourself?
Or do you just want to act on emotion like a women because your fefes got hurt?


>The only move I can think of is to continue getting myself back in shape so I can mog this fat clown and bully him back say something to the effect of “wow I can’t believe this is who was calling ME fat you look 9 months pregnant” but idk.
>but idk
Look I am not gonna sugarcoat it.
You either sit down and do some proper self reflection. Think about all this in a rational way (which requires inner monologue).
Or you keep crying like a baby and be everyone's bitch. Yeah go ahead and tell the other guy "watch out, he was meeeean to me :(".

>>77175733
>are you in fact fat?
>>The only move I can think of is to continue getting myself back in shape
>proper grooming and clothing
A non issue, not one I have.
>>He’s maybe 5’10” 330lbs dyel
I get what you’re saying but I think you’re just making some assumptions. The guy is a disheveled lard gollum. He’s fatter than me. Like I may not have been as clear as I could have. No matter what I do this is the kind of seething coping fatty who will have some bullshit to say. Yes the goal is to continue getting back in shape, 99.9999% for other unrelated reasons. But I know that if I do that then when he has some shit to say again any response I have will just sting so much worse. He’s already the coping fatty, but he’s doing it to a (less) fat guy.
>proper self reflection
I appreciate the bluntness but I entirely disagree I think what I posted was pretty self aware. “But I feel like there’s a better way to proceed [than acting on emotions]. I just don’t know what it is [help me figure that out and gain clarity please]”
Like idk what else to say here. I get annoyed when people can’t think critically and just act, when people clearly lack any internal monologue or basic levels of consciousness. You misunderstood what I was asking. I plain and clear said I know stooping the bitches level is gay and not the way I just wanted clarity on what my best move would be.
>just don’t care it’s just some fatty
Yeah but there comes a point where you just can’t continually allow someone to repeatedly disrespect you and I trust any well socialized man understands this.
Just to reiterate so you get we’re on the same page, the basis of my question is what is the non bitch way to proceed. I know what the bitch ways are

It's so hard getting back into fitness but I need to try. I need to leave my ego and past at home. I need to focus on what I can do, not what I used to be able to do

I want to become optimistic and believe in a better future for myself

>>77177769
Maybe.
She's very young, would feel kinda odd to approach.
She's only a few years older than that Friday song by Rebecca Black.

>>77178445
Had a dream last night where her dad gave his blessing on our union though.

>>77178445
If she's clearly underage, don't pursue him. If you get the opportunity, try to discern whether she's still in high school

Week 3 of no porn finished.
I caught myself looking at asian insta sluts doing splits in miniskirts more by the end of the week, but luckily the timer I've set up for the site stops me in time. Still no real gooning sessions. Morning wood is back.
I've started to realize that most of the time when I feel the urge to reach for porn it's not actual hornyness, but rather just muscle memory (learned reaction to a situation) or that "I have this old song in my head so I'd like to put it on and listen to it" feeling but with porn. And I've realized I'm not that horny. And this worries me a little. Sure, I check out women or whatever, but when I'm around my partner I don't get the urge to fuck her. I don't feel aroused. On one hand, over the years I got tired of initiating and getting rejected, so I learned to wait until she initiates it (which usually happens once per week). She's the type who's constantly tired and stressed and I feel like she usually just wants to do it so she "fulfills her duty" and I'm happy. But even when I'm in the mood or she's in the mood it feels like a hussle. Foreplay, making sure she cums etc. etc. I don't know where I wanted to go with this. It feels like I'm going asexual, but also feels like porn deep fried my brain so much I cannot enjoy casual intimacy.
Another thing which bothers me is the fantasies. Yeah, sure, even a girl in miniskirt catches my attention now, but in my mind I still have the sickest fantasies and obsessions. I was hoping if I stop watching porn I can become normal, but they just won't go away.
Needless to say, there are a gazillion threads on 4chan where you can actually discuss porn and fetishes. And I also "miss" those parasocial interactions, you know? Leaving a message, knowing a reply might wait for me later. It helped me get through the day.
As always: thank you for reading my blog! Have a wonderful week!

How do you guys get back on track after a LONG hiatus? I've become very fat and haven't worked out in more than 1.5 years. And now, it feels impossible to get back on track again. Atleast until I finish college.
Also, its good to see this thread is around. I haven't been in /fit/ for a long time, and the last time I was here, this place was overrun by the worst scum from /pol/ and /r9k/

>>77179144

And start using it as fuel

>>77179158
my father was a drunk and i remember how i felt after getting drunk by myself a few times, and those thoughts and feelings come whenever i am tempted

i like to think, that if i ever have a family, or friends over to spend some time, that at some point someone will mention how come i don't have any alcohol or wine glasses, and i won't tell them the real reason

>>77179144
It's not easy, but doable. First, you just want to nail down like 3 sessions per week. Nothing fancy. Just show up, fuck around for 30 minutes or so. Don't have to continue where you left off. Just test the water where your strength is. Make these sessions non negotiable. You probably don't skip brushing your teeth because you are preparing for exams. Treat working out with the same sentiment. They say it takes 6 weeks to build a habit.
And the rest will follow: you will fix your eating and sleeping habits, you'll find a way to reorganize your schedule so lifting can fit in.
You can do it, anon! I believe in you!

I WILL LEARN THAT I PASSED MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM IN APRIL
I WILL SURVIVE THIS JOB
I WILL REGAIN MY STRENGTH IN THE GYM

My results are rapidly approaching. I’m simultaneously extremely nervous and also calm. Living alone and dealing with the stress of a new job have really numbed my senses. I’m praying that I actually passed this time. I’m ready to pass this mountain and start a new journey.

Work is also improving for me. I think I understand what I need to do. I can’t allow the little aspects of work or life to drag me down. I am powerful and I have the capabilities to succeed. Now I need to apply myself.

On the process of reaching our destination, the path forward may seem unclear. But keep moving forward, it’s the only way to succeed. WAGMI

the same way you started originally. that's why i like stronglifts5x5 - just go back to the empty bar and add 5 pounds every workout.

Another long week. Mostly good medical news though, went to the dentist for the first time in two years - no cavities or weird shit. Did the bloodwork - they must have taken damn near a pint, easily a dozen vials. So far half the tests have come back and I'm in range on everything except LDL cholesterol and it looks like the culprit may actually be genetic based on another one of the tests that they do. Vitamin D was a little low but it was the first day of spring after a cold winter.
Decided on using cronometer to track my calories. Reminds me of myfitnesspal before they monetized it to death. This week is the dry run - adding meals as they come up and whatnot and get an overall idea of what a regular day looks like and how bad the weekends might impact things
Finished FF2 - great game. One more FF game to go to finish all of them.
Did not finish the beer book. I just wasn't feeling it.
Didn't write anything either.
Goals this week: Limit gaming to an hour a day. Shit is getting a little out of hand.
Also goal is to finish another game from the backlog. This will put me at three to go. These are basically just games that I've had for 20+ years and never got around to finishing.
maintain drinking goals, schedule next golf lesson, switch lifting routine to be lighter on the legs so i can run harder.
baby making time is starting up again soon

>>77179421
God I miss being a beginner and improving by 5 pounds every week

That’s a small step in the right direction, but try cutting out weed as well

I'm in roughly the same state of you - I'm trying to adopt the mentality that I need to improve myself every time. There's no shame in where I am currently and I can't compare myself to where I used to be. But I need to get stronger every session

Lately I've been trying to put myself out there more socially. My goal is to leave my room every weekend, preferably for a social occasion

I still dream of benching 3pl8 before I turn 30

>>77180361
Good grief some of you are in rough shape. If this is a challenge for you then yes, you need to get out every weekend and not fail until you are skillfull enough to earn a weekend at home to relax. Good luck, with repeated effort you will win.

I'm no longer a chad guys.
I got fat and fatter.
I've tried so hard to make friends and meet chicks these last 6 months.
I've been extremely outgoing at my university but none of the girls want to give me a chance.
I guess I'll just changed my name to mixedbloatfag

Someone tell me this

Why should I not look at anyone who dies young or commits suicide in today's society as not being an extremely lucky person? It's completely obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that modern society is a god awful unfathomable shithole, everyone is miserable, and that the future is going to be almost as dystopian of a technocratic hellhole as has ever been predicted in fiction. The tech industry has completely ruined the world, it's going to ruin it even more in the future, jobs will be gone, money is fake, relationships will be gone, the leaders are pedophiles who are above the law, there is literally nothing at all to look at in the future and think that it's going to be better than how we are now, which is already horrific.

How am I supposed to develop some sort of "indomitable spirit" when it's completely obvious that the next 20, 30, 40 years of life on this planet is going to be a steaming pile of absolute fucking shit?

I don't think I have any motivation left in me.
Nowadays, I just keep improving out of discipline/habit, but there aren't any eagerness to it.

>>77179503
Thanks, anon!

>>77180086
Thanks for the tip!
Stay strong!

>>77180942
That's reliable. I think there are periods when we ask why are we even doing what we are doing. In my experience those periods are going to eventually end and when they do you are going to be grateful for yourself for not giving up. In my experience it helped that I scaled down with the discipline and the so called self improvement habits. Kept what's essential for a while like exercise, sleep and eating, and left an hour or a half every day to just fuck around. Not doomscrolling, but just for... Stuff. Hard to explain. Maybe it's just listening to the rain or watching a series I postponed for ages or continue with a book I stopped months ago. Maybe if you don't hurry that much in the morning you'll have time to enjoy your breakfast while looking at the sunrise. Sounds bullshit, I know, but trimming down the discipline left some room for some of that old spark coming back. I realized what really killed my flame was my perfectionist habit of making every second count. But that left me no place to just be and not perform like a circus monkey. Maybe your situation is different, who knows.
I hope you get better.
Good luck!

>>77180612
That makes sense, people are shallow. So get back in the saddle and hit the gym. You’ll have more success if you’re decent looking. Good luck!

Yesterday was a bad day since I relapsed heavily on porn, but today has been a good day, I went to the gym, had little work, is sunny, I feel well.

I keep working to overcome my porn addiction and find myself a girlfriend to love and who loves me.

>>77180942
There’s nothing wrong with having to depend on discipline even when your motivation has run out. Search for the original reason you started improving. Do you need to alter any of your goals to better serve how you live? Maybe you even need to set new goals. In any case, you’re going fine. Hang in there!

Dude, just get a pullup/dip station, kettlebell dumbell attachment, and a weighted dip/pullup belt chain from Amazon, picrel. You can make a simple minimalist home gym. Pretty cheap stuff and you can find even cheaper used stuff probably or you can just do outside calisthenics at parks, recommend getting gymnastic rings and some warmup bands in that case as well. If you do weighted calisthenics routine and eat 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and you will be set. Your upper body will jacked for sure. Pullups, chinups, and dips are great. Lower body harder to put on size but doesn't really matter, lean athletic strong legs better. Just do air squats, jump squats, pistols, nordics, cossacks, burpees, jump rope, and sprints. Trust the process and your effort will pay off wagmi

I hope by this time next week, I’m celebrating and happy :)

Pick every man who is disgruntled, every woman who is furious, every individual who is isolated, and every person who is disappointed with what the system and want it torn apart. You pick'em up and tell them: you are absolutely right. You are already halfway to do this, since you took your time to write this mini-essay on the angst of the people. You seem to have the talent to relate to pain, and that is precious and useful.

This is what the enemy fears the most. They do not want people to relate to the pain of others, especially to the pain of those who have much more in common with them than the enemies have.

We need discontent to fester, we need pain to become intolerable, we need to turn off the heater on this pan of frogs to +5000 Fahrenheit so we jump with claws in hand to gnaw at the cook.

There is no easy solution but the spread of horror, of desperation and of the need for immediate action.

In this complicated times, we need simple solutions. The two solutions are the destruction of the existing system, or the destruction of all those who cannot live in it (increasingly, every single person). Canada has given up already, and they'll tell you to kill yourself if you are struggling with rent. Modern countries import foreigners, they do not care that their youth is giving up on life. The system has given up on us already. So either we die through our own means, or we just rally every loser like us into the greatest Hail Mary civilization has ever experienced, the last manifest of the faustian spirit: the ultimate revolution that destroys Enlightenment civilization.

In short, your retirement plan is now winning the next civil war.

Every 4chan cope boils down to the same tired fantasy: something *good* is always just over the horizon. Alien disclosure is coming to earth, Hitler 2.0 rising from the ashes, Jesus descending to smite their enemies, Trump and the globohomo awakening in two weeks, mass genocide solving all their problems, or the magical day when everyone suddenly agrees with their garbage takes.

It’s all hopium for losers who can’t deal with the present. Instead of doing anything meaningful, they sit in their digital basements praying for a future that never comes. Every post is just another round of "just wait, you’ll see," while the rest of the world keeps living, laughing, and leaving them behind.

The truth? Nothing’s coming. No savior, no reckoning, no mass awakening, no shift in opinions. It’s just endless cope for people too powerless to face reality. The only thing in their future is more disappointment and deep down, they know it.
