Anyone have experience with The Prince by Machiavelli? Had it hand my hand at a bookstore but didn't follow through with the purchase.

I'm trying to learn Unity
I used to be really good at C# in uni, probably top of my class, but it's only been a year and I seen to have forgotten it completely
Oh well I'm sure it'll come back quick enough
Starting to do some reading about chess theory. That's a game that I'd love to be decent at.
Would recommend reading The Prince, but also learn about the circumstances in The Vatican around the time of its writing. Really interesting stuff.
What's up with monster energy drink shitposting?

This is the body you WILL get if you fall for the 'strength training will make you aesthetic' meme.
he looks like a giant baby
>>38782809

Not super aesthetic but you can tell he's breddy stronk
Why are energy drinks more unhealthy than coffee and a soda?
they aren't
0 calorie monsters are technically healthier than eating an apple
The surgar substitute they use is known to cause stomach ulcers

Apples BTFO
I hired a trainer a few months ago and he told me to get on this stuff. It's ridiculously expensive and there's only 15 shakes per huge ass container.
Is there a cheaper alternative to this? To be honest it's really worked, but it gets so damn expensive. Trainer recently told me to up my intake from 2 to 3 shakes a day and I don't want to go broke buying protein.
>>38782652
Just drink milk instead of that shit
so tell him you want a cheaper alternative?

>tfw my very kind and motherly co-worker brought me lunch
>no idea what the nutrition facts look like
End me now, bros.
>>38782632
One of my co-workers offered to buy me KFC and even though it felt rude to turn him down, I'm on a cut and I can't risk that shit
Best estimates I'm already over on fats and carbs for the day, while sitting well under protein for the day. Just going to have to find a way to absorb it elsewhere in the week.
>>38782632
yeah I'm constantly turning down candy and shit from my coworkers
its kinda funny though, they've noticed me losing weight and ask me repeatedly how I do it. Then act shocked and confused when I turn down a free brownie. Fuckin normies amirite
For a week now, I've been doing EZ bar curls, and I had no problem, I reached 10 repetitions with 15 kgs on each side of the bar. Today in doing so, I felt a sharp pain in the forearms when I fully flexed my arms, leaving the bar at chin level. It doesn't always hurt, only when I load weight, and is annoying.
If it has happened to you, do know how long I should take off? One week?
>>38782377
you are actually stupid or something idiot
EZ bar is supposed to hurt less. Your forearms are weak. Work through the pain
>>38782398
And give himself tendonitis?
Do drag curls and dumbbell curls. Ease off the work that makes it hurt for a while and work your way back into it. If you switched to EZ bar because straight hurts and now EZ hurts too, you're probably making the injury worse.
>heard someone from my grappling club is serving 12 years in jail for throwing someone on the street, in a self defense situation
>supposedly he got attacked by a drunkard and he reacted by doing a judo throw and the drunk guy broke his spine
>the law of my country does not think this is reasonable self defense, and I can understand this, considering the outcome
>used to think judo was not harmful so this was a bit of an eye-opener for me
I looked around a bit online and it turns out a lot of people end up in jail for using martial arts in self defense.
>Talked to a guy at work whom I knew had done time for assult. Turns out he slapped someone in the back of the head and got 1,5 years in jail for this. Other guy fell and there were multiple witnesses.
Looking at youtube it seems people get away with a lot in the US, but Europe and other countries are a bit different. With the refugee invasion and general unrest, I want to know what I can actually do or not.
Get a gun, dead men can't talk.

>>supposedly he got attacked by a drunkard and he reacted by doing a judo throw and the drunk guy broke his spine
>>the law of my country does not think this is reasonable self defense
Cuck country, hope the best for the judo man.
>>I can understand this, considering the outcome
Cuck country, cuck inhabitant.
>>38782376
This, OP is a cuck and no one should help him for having such a cuck stance against Judo guy
When you're being attacked, you don't know if the fucker is wanting to hurt you or kill you, and sometimes it doesn't matter which since you can die from a punch to the head. Plus he was drunk, making him less predictable. Any amount of prison sentence for defending himself in that situation is a joke
What are some /fit/ approved chinese cartoon? Moving drawing and drawing per page?

I lift for my mother who passed from cancer 4 years ago. She always wanted to see me be my best, and I couldn't do it for her when she was alive. If there is such a thing as heaven, I hope she'll smile once I'm through.

Where can I get a job, preferably unionized, that pays me to lift heavy things or requires lots of stamina for decent pay. I live in Houston.
>>38781913
Nobody is gonna hire you with that ohp
Prolly ironworkers. Call the local Building and Construction Trades office @ http://www.bctd.org/Official-Directory/Local-Councils.aspx
Travis County is hiring a Medicolegal Investigator right now. Qualifications vary by jurisdiction all across the country but depending on your enlisted/commissioned MOS you might get an interview.
Job duties entail responding to the scenes of unnatural, untimely, or otherwise suspicious deaths and coordinating with law enforcement and the medical examiner to determine a cause and manner of death. May involve some autopsy/morgue work. Requires you to be able to lift the bodies, move them around the morgue, you're constantly moving and its a municipal job so good benefits. Also you must weather and all of the elements and terrains of your jurisdiction.
t. it's what I do, just not in Houston.
