/lit/ - Literature

We can associate again if /fit/ finally graduates from basic-bitch stoicism and sudoku japanese man.

>tfw reading while doing pushups

>I have gained 12 kg since classes went online last april.
>I have gotten done far more reading due to the lack of commute and everything involved.
Feeling really good. Almsot scared that when things revert to normal I will lose this groove again and lose all I have gained.

Uhh no sweaty the combo is /lit/ and /biz/. How else you meant to live a literary lifestyle if you dont have generational wealth?

>>17620824

I don't know what to say to you.

>tfw reciting paradigms between each curl

My leading priorities are running and reading.
Feels good.

I've been lifting weights for about a month, though desu I don't really know what I'm doing.

>tfw weight has been stuck stubbornly high for weeks

I am really annoyed, I need to lean out but I'm also trying to hold on to muscle gains. Getting old sucks, it was easier to lose weight when I was still in my 20s.

>>17620774
Start with the stoics

Even the combination of /fit/ and /lit/ loses to (real) /sci/.

>/out/&/k/
>/fit/&/lit/
some combinations were just meant to be

>>17620910
In the ancient days of the board-tans, I think /out/ was actually /k/'s child.

I wonder what the child of /lit/-tan and /fit/-tan would look like.

>>17620910

Are there any /fitlit/ book suggestions?

Obviously Sun & Steel was already alluded to

>>17621107

>>17621107
this, but I want /fit/ for /lit/ not the other way around

I'd like to get into meditation and hear it has great benefits but I'd like to hear that in detail from a source other than middle aged white women

>>17620774
/fit/ is antithetical to /lit/

A /lit/izen does not concern himself with bulging muscles. Even when exercising he is more concerned with aesthetics and thought, preferring to walk or hike rather than lift things up and down. I would go so far to say that any excess of muscle is representative of a language the /fit/anon didn't learn, a book he didn't read, or a fun fact he didn't memorize.

Visit the board for a few moments and you'll see nothing but utter stupidity, anti-intellectualism, and inceldom. If they had any brains at all they would have sought favour with /sci/ to get help with their steroid cycles and DNP use.

>>17621212
I'm early 20s white male, decently in shape, as far as 2020 was concerned things went alright for me.

I started meditating every day back in September, read a handful of books, went through Sam Harris 'Waking Up' app. I think its too soon to say that it has been "life-changing" but I can certainly feel its benefits through reduced stress, better sleep, calmer temperament, etc.

In fact as cringey as it sounds it really feels like that I'm 'waking up' or my 'eyes are opening', through meditation I'm starting to realize that something strange is going on, we might not be living in just a naturalist world after all anons...

>>17620941
in a perfect world it would be a better version of /pol/ with less /r9k/ influence

I’ve been overweight since I am 16 and it repulses me but I can’t seem to get it under control. My body disgusts me.

>>17621213


YOUR OPINION IS INVALID; FITNESS DOES NOT ENTAIL MUSCULAR HYPERTROPHY.

>>17621260
Yeah. Too bad pol is absolute crap. What the heck?

>>17620774
How to acquire /fitlit/ gf?

>>17621283
Getting banned might lead you to the right gym where you might see one.

>>17621250
>In fact as cringey as it sounds it really feels like that I'm 'waking up' or my 'eyes are opening', through meditation I'm starting to realize that something strange is going on, we might not be living in just a naturalist world after all anons...
I'd like to hear more if you're able to put it into words

>>17621293
>thinks I'm getting banned with that pic
Your stupidity really knows no bounds, buttershit.

>>17621213
It's a well known fact that your brain functions better with daily exercise. Even the Greeks started with phitness before filosophy.

>>17621304
I’ve been banned for less. Or more, depending.
Naked animé usually gets one a ban (I posted a clothed woman once that got it). Nothing stupid about it.

>>17621283
seconding for a friend

>>17621213
try coping a bit more next time

>>17621334
Would this get you banned

>>17621376

>>17621376
It might.

>>17621385
Tbh I need to ban myself, this board has been too distracting lately

>>17621403

>>17621316
This anon knows.

Pliny the Younger to Tacitus
>You will laugh at this, and your laughter is in order. This acquaintance of yours has captured three boars. 'What, you yourself?' you ask. 'Yes, but without totally abandoning my idle and restful life.' I would sit by the nets, armed not only with hunting-spear or lance, but also with pen and tablets. I would contemplate a subject and jot it down, so that if I returned empty-handed, my tablets would be full.
>You are not to despise this manner of study, for it is remarkable how the mind is roused by exercise and movement of the body...So when you go hunting you can adopt my advice, and carry your tablets as well as your food-basket and flask, for you will find Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, roams the mountains no less than Diana, the goddess of the hunt. Farewell.

Please learn how to read before commenting on my posts. Better yet, don't learn to read because it likely won't do you any good

Post more naked women pls

>>17621213
Holy shit that's awesome
Not your post, the post kinda sucked. The video on it, though.

>>17621300
Its a new feeling for me, but I'll try. Actually I think I have a good analogy for you.

Let's say its summer time, you're at the neighborhood pool. You start in the kiddie pool (toddler/child), then you carried to the regular pool and depending on your life you either are let in gently, roughly, you may be taught to swim, or some motherfucker might Tom Brady your ass into the deep end. In any route you the hit the water and are submerged (late childhood/teenage years/early adulthood).

But then something happens! You (go to college/join the military/fall hopelessly love with a QT) and suddenly you're no longer submerged completely, your head is above water, and you can finally think straight and make decisions for the most part.

This part of the pool is where most people stay the rest of their lives. Some are still in the deep end desperately treading water others are lounging in the shallows, some swim back and forth. They can see people they perceive as outside of the pool and the ones in the deep end even though. While they can think deeply about things they're constrained by the fact the majority of their body is submerged. Furthermore in this analogy, the stairs/ladder is rarely seen by people on their own, and even when the ones outside of the pool tell them about the stairs/ladder they don't believe them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is through meditation you realize you can simply pull yourself out of the pool and dry off, and I'm going through that process right now.

Sorry for the spiel, I'm not sure if this makes sense, but its all pouring out of me right now. Anons we need a holy trinity of /lit/ /fit/ and whatever the meditation board is. We're all gonna make my philosopher kings/queens

>>17621732
Anons I think I just discovered the idiotic 1980s suburban American version of Plato's Cave

test

>>17620941
Where though meets action. A board of Mohism where practitioners post about how they can actual use philosophy in the real world. Counter posting would be anons starting monasteries with fellow fit lit types. The one notorious poster would be a guy claiming he is starting a cult and no one believing him until he makes the news somehow (FBI raid, koolaid ritual, etc)

Fuck you buttershit, you reported me on purpose because you were seething.

Yikes, what a dyke

I am super interested in /fit/ and am trying to achieve maximum fitness myself. However, I have a serious fat fetish and my dream girl would probably weigh north of 300 pounds. What can I say, I can't help it.

God I wish she would beat me up

>>17621841
>>17621855
imagine the braps

>>17621883
Why are body builders always into fat chicks?

>>17621889
we're not. if anything, i've gotten more picky after working out. the girls I prefer are more fit nowadays.

>>17621886
I imagine they would be strong enough to knock you out haha

How obscene

>>17621250
Pff, yeah okay man in his early twenties finding Buddha. Meditation settles the mind to see some inherent divinities but there is never evidence of anything higher.

Tell you what butterdyke, let's see if this stays up until tomorrow, I have a theory that you're ok as long as you cover the naughty bits.

>>17621968
I mean I literally stated that I was beginning to see some inherent divinities, not Buddha.

Besides I'm more of an Athena guy...

Best lit thread ever!

This is the correct combination.

I would trade all of my literary knowledge simply to become more jacked
