/fringe/ - Fringe

I've got cooking, technology/science/programming as I do engineering in uni.

Gym 3 times a week and then trying to remove the shitty music from my head and vidya.

Looks like most of my hobbies are ok.

>>34707

If you become skilled at juggling it will increase your hand eye to pro athlete levels so it's more useful than you might think

>>34725

Can confirm, I ended up being able to automatically catch knives by their handles automatically.

Engaging in sports is good hobby. Especially martial arts. Watching sports is mundane.

>>34707

I play piano and make music on my computer, act in plays and also random short films with my friends, and I also do visual art too (mostly drawing and character designs.) Gonna start working on a graphic novel in about a month about a scientist who becomes God and recreates man.

I cook too.

I played a lot of video games when I was a kid. I still play ones that have good stories and symbolic elements and actually make you think. Most are a waste of time though. Haven't played any in months.

I live next to a forest, I used to walk around in forests all the time and just hang out in them, going swimming and climbing and stuff by myself or with people close to me. Just generally adventuring around. Probably gonna do that some more next year.

I'd add hiking/just general nature exploring to the list of best hobbies.

Just general learning how to build shit as well as survival as well.

>>34707

Does it not make sense for the best hobbies for one to have is to learn how to fully and properly draw yourself and your loved one in complete accuracy and detail as to have theirs and yours template permanently engraved in your coding?

Second would be the knowledge of one's own construct in terms of physical motion, chemical process etc, so biology and physiognomy.

Then the practical, engineering, learning how to make the basics out of raw material up to being able to smelt and forge modern day equipment and tools from primordial materials.

>>34795

not to mention the mastery of one's left hand And right hand and feet fully.

Perfect calligraphy and miniature details with both hands.

>>34795

That counts under art

>>34796

Eh, calligraphy is fun but pretty useless imo

Hiking

Politics (for loosh and apocalyptic visions)

bodybuilding

currently learning C

>>34707

pretty good list. my suggestions.

-"puzzles" is definitely not worthy of being in that top category and should be relegated to the useless pile.

-Sports are great as long as you participate yourself and arn't just some fat balding alcoholic sitting on your ass worshipping degenerate niggers.

-I'd change bodybuilding to all sports /athletic participation. Bodybuilding is one of the worst sports to participate in honestly. if your a natural athlete you should just strive to be lean and strong or else you'll end up looking like some blocky, bloated chode. w

It's impossible to get "too big" without roiding

>>34919

its impossible to get too big from lifting weighting w/o roiding

>>34922

>>34924

Yes it is, but not in the sense you are thinking. No you won't look like Arnold schwarzenegger. .

But you CAN gain fat which is what happens to a lot of people "bulking" who overeat. Sure they get "gains", but probably only 25% of it is muscle and the rest fat. Then they end up looking worst than they would have if they went "OTtermode" lean muscle, still strong enough to do anything required of them in their life, and look way better.

I fully support any form of weight lifting, and running/cardio though. Just not a fan of that "bulking up" shit in bodybuilding which is just an excuse to get fat, eat like shit, and delude yourself that you look good.

being lean feels the best, and looks the best. Even if your just skinny and faggots online say "do you even lift?"

>>35061

I agree, but you're not getting too big from lifting weights.

You're getting too big from eating like a pig.

>>34919

yeah no you don't get "too big" from lifting

You get strong.

functionality is key, so do calisthenics and also powerlift as much weight as you can do like 3 or 4 reps and keep doing that over and over

Hiking, and better yet mountain climbing.

Camping, fishing, woodworking. Gardening, absolutely gardening.

>>35293

mycology is tough. you can't tell what a mushroom is really, without taking a spore print, even then you're still taking a big risk.

>>35296

That's true. It can be a rewarding skill to develop though.

-play saxophone & piano

-read Shakespeare when not reading esoteric material

-working out, strength and cardio

-every know and then I play Morrowind (full of occult references & material)

My fringe hobbies include coming on /fringe/, x/, /r/occult, watching all the movies about witches and magic made, and increasing the knowledge in my wheelhouse. I'm becoming quite the witch. I used a mortor and pestle for a magickal/medicinal poultice for the first time today and I'm generally taking care of business.

If you are truly wise there is only one thing you should focus on; building up the mind, increasing your memory, visualization, subconscious processing, thoughtform networks, etc. to achieve a superior level of intelligence. Do not do anything else until you've been doing this already for a few years.

Me prior to mind-building / occult training: Took me like a whole fucking month to read The Kybalion and it still barley made an impression in my mind.

Me today after so much work on fixing up my mind: Can read through a book and remember it all and cite parts of it, can process large volumes of new information intelligently and apply it, can learn new skills and develop in anything I do much faster now.

I've gone from retard who could waste hundreds of hours away on something and make no real progress at all to making more progress in an hour than what I would have achieved in weeks before.

Whatever your hobby is and whatever amount of time you put into it, after you make a lot of upgrades to your mind through occult training, your talent will be vastly and rapidly increased and everything will be easier.

There is literally no point in practising with an instrument, painting, martial arts, or doing any other of these hobbies you guys are talking about until you've built up your minds to become super-intelligent.

>>35364

what are some processes you endured to reach your state of 'super' intelligence

>>35364

Good post.

Can attest to this, tried learning programming when I was a mundane and HOLY SHIT, it was like reading some alien language. Years later I picked it up again, easy as fuck.

>>35304

Watch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Enchanter if you havent already

Strongly disagree with martial arts and a bit with learning an instrument but otherwise a very good post

>>35392

Martial arts isn't even mentioned in OP post?

>>35373

>what are some processes you endured to reach your state of 'super' intelligence

Eating a lot of fatty foods specifically to provide maximum nutrition for my brain, doing some work to increase bodily circulation, and doing shit like walking around and taking a moment to look at absolutely everything and recall it all in my mind, and reading books and picturing each page of the book after finishing reading it, and a wide variety of meditations, and creating thoughtforms that do various mental work for me and bring back the answer to me using subconscious processing, etc.

>>34919

+1 for this anon

>>35396

I meant to quote this >>35364

but I fucked up the formatting

There's just too many simple people with deadly fighting ability to tell the average person that he should put off training until he becomes an elite level thinker

buump

Fucking pleb reporting in.

I only do programming…

What should else do I need to do?

(Something that I could train for fun?)

(I can only spin pencil around my thumb)

>>41135

Clean diet and exercise are paramount. Start there. Google dexterity training exercises if you want to expand on doing stuff like spinning pencils around your thumb

>>41140

Yeah I have problems with diet and exercise. (I will start this summer, because I am now too busy).

Thanks for you response. I will try training my dexterity : ).

>>41148

You can start diet right now. Literally all you need to do to eat healthy is eat like it's 1900 again.

Hobbies?

It would seem some here take a liking to the hobby of classifying hobbies… LOL PLEBS!

The only pursuit is that of truth, that of life. (Perhaps that of strife.)

For hobbies I recommend:

Some sort of physical activity for strength and endurance. Also, stretch afterwords.

eating healthily and cheaply (personal favorite to be honest).

Something to increase memory, hand-eye coordination, etc. Let's make a list. I haven't really seen an official list anyways.

Improve yourself, because knowledge eventually fades away. Learn what you need what you enjoy.

>bodybuilding is good

>playing sports is bad
