Post some short good advice. Others either confirm or call

Don't trink standing water because you will get diarrhea. Unless you are close to death than drink standing water.

Focus on making money, it's the only thing that matters in the end.

>>35665358
Do what makes you happy or don't do anything at all

>>35665358
>work on improving yourself, rather than just working on obtaining things. It'll help you out long-term
>choose your friends and who you interact with, because they will affect you
>don't take on anymore debt than absolutely necessary, and pay it off right away

>>35665439
Yep

>>35665496
Yeah focus on it. It's not the only thing though, being healthy, having experienced things and being an interesting person will also significantly improve your life

>>35665358
-Avoid debt
-You work to make money, not friends
-Only pay for education you can't get another way or that you need for a certificate that will earn you more money
-Tell the truth
-Examine your relationship with friends: is there one that always needs your help but is never free to help you? Is there one that always has emotional drama? Dump them.
-If a woman(or man, for women) isn't giving you the emotional support you need, don't let them take critical emotional support from you

Get into philosophy. The old kind. No post-Enlightenment hippie bullshit.

Even if you don't feel like it, you have to force yourself to do what you have to (chores, homework, etc.), because the discomfort and boredom that comes with accomplishing the task will go away really quickly and you'll be left with a productive achievement.
Also, simply lying to yourself that you're happy and faking smiles can boost a positive attitude. That's how I became an optimist

>>35665634
Solid advice, especially on the issue of friends

Some people are just shit, and others will treat you poorly if you let them

"a lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect" is a pretty accurate quite imo

And whilst theres obviously some leeway with friends you've known for a while, with newer acquaintances and friends you need to make sure it's not a one-sided relationship where they're getting more out of it than you are

Which philosophers would you suggest a robot start with

move to colder climate and try to start farming

>>35665603
>being an interesting person
literally worthless

>>35666068
These are my future plans oregano

>>35665903
>because the discomfort and boredom that comes with accomplishing the task will go away really quickly
wrong

College is an absolute waste of time don't bother with it

>>35665496
Bad advisse money is important but once you have enough money to substain a good/average live money doesn't really make you any more happy.
There is some nice stuff about that you can find rather quickly on (((google)))

>>35665515
I would say, life a virtues life and do what you love as that will bring you happiness. However, only the person that tries can fail.
>>35666017
I allways liked aristotle...ethics is what I would start with. or a look around, there are books that show you something of everything. Thus you can get an idea of what is going on.

>>35666017
I don't think it matters. What's probably more important is that you get varied input.

But I know that Diogenes really inspired me when I started out, even though he's more of a legendary joker than a proper philosopher.
Here's the standard classical text on him: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lives_of_the_Eminent_Philosophers/Book_VI#Diogenes

>>35666252
what are you made for? working or staying in bed all day? men should pursue what they are made for.
>>35666352
yes, go to university.
>>35666157
you allways have to see that there are two things to social aspects.
you for yourself
and you for others
you are a interesting person so that others can enjoy your company, which will lead you to having fun with others.
However even if you seek no social interaction beeing a interssting person is similar to having leed an nteresting life. THus you can look back on interesting occasions and know how to act in the future.

One more advise by me:
Never think that happiness will stay forever. However, this does not make the moment worthless.

>>35666470
working makes me want to commit suicide so I'm probably not made for that

Use Helium to have a painless an hero

>>35666525
True, I tried it and it works great.

>>35665358
fucking mudshark

>>35665900
learn ancient greek and latin first. This will boost you brain way more.

>>35666384

Until you are financially stable focus 100% on money. Being broke will fuck your already at risk mind

>>35665603
Pretty sure you're gonna need money to experience things, be healthy, and be interesting, bruh

It's the key element to everything and should you run out of it, you would see very quickly how much it controls every aspect of life

Do what makes you happy, stop giving fucks, go out and have fun. Ive legit never felt so good in my life. I sometimes just randomly smile because my life is so awesome at the moment

>>35666470
Or learn a trade and get a job instead of going into debt for a likely useless sheet of paper

>>35665358
>Stop jerking off and watching porn
>Work out/Run/Swim/Practice a team sport
>Get into history and philosophy (especially Stoicism and Aristotel)
>Go to sleep early and wake up early
>Drink water as often and as much as you can
>Get into literature
>Get into jazz and classical music
>Spend as few money as you can; live frugal most of the times, but enjoy a little gift to yourself from time to time.
>Try to help someone if he can later learn to help himself; do not help people who abuse of your help
>Spend time and money on people you love and you care about, but make sure to not sacrifice to much if they don't sacrifice too
>The best moments in life are those that we usually overlook

Don't be yourself. Pretend to be someone who isn't worthless.

Stop caring about what people think if you wish to be free

>>35667543
>Drink water as often and as much as you can
But don't over do it.
>Get into literature
Some literature. New age (2000+) has a lot of shit to wade through.
>Get into jazz
no

>Spend as few money as you can; live frugal most of the times, but enjoy a little gift to yourself from time to time.
>Try to help someone if he can later learn to help himself; do not help people who abuse of your help
>Spend time and money on people you love and you care about, but make sure to not sacrifice to much if they don't sacrifice too
>The best moments in life are those that we usually overlook
These last 4, though, are on point.

>>35665900
Yes. Especially those who actually developed a philosophy to live by, not a few books full of bullshitting like most modern "philosophers"

>>35666157
As this anon said >>35666470 it will have an impact on how others see you and interact with you. If they find you to be interesting and fun to be around, you'll have a much more pleasant experience in life

>>35667426
Not saying money isn't the most important thing, just that it's not everything. If you can live abroad for a while or do an interesting sport then it might be worth going for it, even if it has a slightly negative impact on your finances

>>35667502
Depends on the subject, a trade is 100% better than a degree from a midrange Uni in a social "science". If you want to be a scientist , engineer or lawyer you'll have to go to Uni though

>>35667543
Most of the first half just seems based on individual experiences. The last ones and the teamsport recommendation are on point though

>short advice thread
>posts long advice

Here's some good short advice: Pay attention to rules.

if you feel depressed, numb, not motivated, put yourself in danger, it can be physical danger or mental.
I climbed a freaking tall crane a few days ago after getting of a party where i was rejected by one girl. never felt so alive and free in my life

>>35668558
Many short pieces of advice are in line with the OP though

A long essay about one particular piece of advice wouldn't be

>>35665358
It's not "getting better". Unless you put effort into your actions and refuse to give up you will not go anywhere. Keep moving forward, if you meet a wall go over it.

The ironic part is, I gave up a long time ago.

If you have the power, then use it and kill them all.

Talk to your enemies. They will tell you things no one else will.

Assume stupidity instead of organized malevolence.

Don't do anything for your child that they can do themselves.

>>35665900
>Heidegger, Wittgenstein
>Hippie bullshit
Sounds like you need to do more reading

>>35669567
"post-Enlightenment hippie bullshit is bad" != "everything post-Enlightenment is hippie bullshit (and bad)"

Never open up emotionally to anyone ever. Never cry in front of someone. Especially a woman.

They will use it against you and hurt you.

>>35669857
This.
Listen to this poster.

The only person you should ever trust with emotional help is your mother or father (depending on your relationship)

>>35669857
>>35670007
OR, anonymous posters on an advice board :-))))

>>35665358
you will never have a white man you filthy mudshark

Go to college or tech school and pay attention.
If you're seeing a psychiatrist or therapist and it isn't working, find new ones.
Take walks and watch what you eat or you'll end up with diabetes or heart disease (or both).

>>35670281

Only watch solo females and/or softcore lesbo porn

Get cardio exercise in regularly

Spend time away from the computer screen and outside.

Count your macronutrient and calorie intake

Drink alcohol at a minimum

>>35670537
>Drink alcohol at a minimal

What if I drink it relatively regularly, don't get too drunk, and always stay beneath my caloric intake?

Literally all of your problems are because you aren't drinking enough water

>>35670882
Hmmm. I'd say definitely one of the negative side effects would be the damage you'd still be doing to your organs with the alcohol.

>>35670973
Humans are very well capable of handling liquor. We've been doing it since at least 3000bc.

Some say that we've been able to break down alcohol since we were primates.

Put work and academics over people. People are assholes

Stay hydrated

I would alter this to say "Prioritize making enough money to live comfortably."
