/SIG/ - Self Improvement General /pol/acks, it's that

I've been hitting the gym lately.

>>129758957
I'm already pretty strong in the weight room (BP/S/DL are over 3/4/500lbs), but my cardio is lacking. Started running and doing sprints and once I'm in good cardio shape I'll probably get back into Muay Thai or MMA.

>>129758957
I will do nothing to correct it you dumb kike piece of shit.

>>129758957
Run a lot
Lots of pull ups/bench etc

Training for OCS so its just a part of life. Its relatively fun also, dont get why we have a fat problem.

The key to my progress is to fix only some small things each day, and to maintain the things from the previous days. Until you finally get in a cycle of taking care of what is necessary and can finally focus your energy and free time on what you find meaningful and enjoyable.

>>129763359
This seems like the best method, going full on self improvement leads to you getting tired.

Keep at it anon, good job

Also been cutting back on porn use. Been at it for like a decade and a half though so it's hard. But I'm getting there. Slowly. One day is great, another day I can barely stop myself.

>>129763027
>check law job market first anon

True, I'd only be interested in a specific, tech focused area if I did (like my family owns land in New Hmpashire, UNH has one of the top intellectual property law programs around, I could do it online too). I'm in I.T. right now and the lifestyle sucks, hard. I don't want to be a 9-5 low test, fatass normie cuck, and that's exactly what most jobs turn you into. Anything that allows more freedom I'd be interested in.

>>129758957
Last week was rough on my workout schedule. Had to do a lot of driving for apartment hunting for a move in a few weeks. Starting law school in the fall. Got back on it yesterday. Two mile apache run and hill sprints. Lift today, run again tomorrow, lift, run, lift, rest.

I've effectively cut porn and TV from my life. Feels fucking fantastic, I sleep better and find myself reading more.

>>129762491
Take an LSAT course, it helps. The best advice I got was from a Harvard law grad, go to the best school you can afford. There is no sense going to the prestigious university if it's going to fuck you financially and doesn't give you scholarship money.

>>129758957
Been reading Tolkien and Shakespeare, trying to really think of the meaning of each word as a sentence (that is, each syllable is a word). It's difficult, but really gets those neurons to fire up

Also installed linux (fedora) on a partition and learned how to install something using the terminal. Still a long way to go, but well.

As for physicall stuff... well, I'm still skinny manlet, but yesterday I managed to climb some trees, it was fun and I hadn't done it in a while.

Fully intend to do just that, my family isn't hurting at all for money. Thing is my interest in law is very prliminary. Dunno about what it's like, dunno what the workload is like, dunno what the job market is like or what the most "techy" lawyer area is, blah blah blah. My family's money is from medicine, almost no relatives whatsoever in law.

Is there anything you can recommend? Can I be a clerk bitch for some firm to see what it's like?

Unless you have an actual job and aren't a student. Then you might consider paying.

Thanks. Well, recently I've seen a lot of fuzz over the systemd issue on /g/, but I'm not sure if it really matters or if it's just clever trolling (partly because I don't really understand it). What's your stance on the subject?

Also, I've seen it's an ethical practice of Linux to just do it yourself; however, while I get good enough (lots of pending reading on the manuals), I've seen many people share their repositories to help others, often with different methods to achieve the same results. From your experience, is there any rule of thumb that is wise to follow until I git gud?

>>129765839
>What's your stance on the subject?

Personally not a huge fan of systemd's architecture, it is a much more monolithic program/(groups of utterly interdependent programs) than what it replaced. On the other had it is much "smoother" to interact with on a day to day basis.

Probably a short term gains vs. long term loss situation. I hope it is replaced by something more modular. The BSD's tend to be slow but when they implement a technology they tend to get it right. I'd watch them closely for what they're doing init-system wise.

>From your experience, is there any rule of thumb that is wise to follow until I git gud?

Not really, you do you anon. Do what interests you, unless you have a job or career reason to do something else (like, I hate Microsoft shit, but I have a lab setup to learn the ins and outs of Active Directory because every corporate fuckwit absolutely demands it). You said it yourself, just git gud.

Give yourself or find yourself some projects to complete and you'll be there in no time.

I have been attending the practical courses in my field that are provided at my university as per usual and I am finalizing my purchase of a new motorcycle to get out more

>>129765075
The workload is going to suck ass from what I've heard. First year is the worst because schools want to weed out who really wants to be there from the rest. But like anything you grit your teeth and grind away.

As of right now the job market isn't looking that hot. I'm lucky because I've got a job lined up after and know a bunch of lawyers that want me to work for them. But if you want to bring your tech experience there are probably a few fields you would find success in. I've heard of guys going from tech startups to law school and becoming patent lawyers. In our day and age it seems like that will still be in demand. Depends on the area.

What I did to get a feel for it was visit a firm (I want to go into criminal) and sat in on court a couple of times and realized if I didn't go do it then I'm a fucking idiot. Do what you can to find a lawyer with your family's network. There may be one you didn't know about that could let you sit in for a couple of days at a firm. There is always a guy that knows a guy, may be a family friend of a friend. Do some homework and get a feel for what the tech side is like. I've only heard a couple of stories secondhand.

>>129766842
Thanks for your answers. One last question: which distros do you use and which ones you do not recommend?

>>129766863
No need to get a vehicle just to get out man. Many people just get a vehicle to get to a store that's a couple of blocks away, just as easy to reach by foot. However, once you get your moto, play this:

Thanks. I'm not scared of a heavy courseload. I'm more scared of making the wrong decision.

Whats the day-to-day life of a lawyer like, is what I'm getting at. Hours, etc. I love technology, but more and more you really are treated like a slave. Contract-to-fire are the only jobs left, miserable antisocial people, pajeets, codemonkeys making 10k more than you that think you're the untermensch, etc. If I can get into a field that allows you more independence while still enough to raise a family well then I'm not afraid of busting ass to get it.

I'll probably have to ask around in I.T. circles to find an I.T. related law job. I know I'm coming out of left field with this.

Anyway, thanks for the insight. Have some fash.

>>129758957
What's the point?

>>129769316
I use manjaro with KDE, because I like arch's updates, the direct relevancy of the arch wiki, and the shitload of stuff in the AUR (half of which is broken, but hey). It had issues early on but it has matured into a pretty comfy distro. I have a $90 darknet use laptop with manjaro and xfce installed.

Not a fan of the red hat world, Fedora/GNOME always felt really clunky and handcuffed to me. But to each their own. The smartest guy I knew was a coworker who swore by Fedora KDE. Debian/Ubuntu is fine, but again Unity always felt weird and clunky. Mint is nice.

>Whats the day-to-day life of a lawyer like, is what I'm getting at.
What I was able to observe was pretty good, now keep in mind all firms are different. Everyone got along very well and were very closely knit, which is what I really like. I've got a buddy who is a corporate lawyer on Wall Street and he said the opposite was true. Partners were absolute assholes and everyone was trying to slit each other's throats. Find a good firm with people you like that aren't money grubbing kikes.

Days are generally longer than the average work day. Going to the courthouse, meeting clients in and out of jail, all the fun lawyer stuff they don't show on TV. The younger guys that were just admitted to the bar were pulling some insanely long days but the pay is great so worth it once you get to Friday night. That's just from the criminal firm I've been too. All of it really depends on what kind of law you go into.

Some fash for you.
