Just because he's fat doesn't mean he won't live until 110
Obesity has nothing to do with health, stop fat shaming

I see this comic so often I really want to know if this guy ever responded to the criticisms of it or learned anything about how dumb what he was saying is. Honestly it seems like he was just ignorant rather than malicious

Spending 90 minutes in the gym 3-4 times a week and enjoying it has sapped me of all other interests and personality. I am boring. Time to kill myself, thanks comic author.

but what if you are a very unfit person who enjoys writing, drawing, electronic composition, 3d modeling, and programming?

The funniest thing is that if he'd do even a miniscule amount of exercise he would look pretty alright, but no, he chose the onions

NEEEEEEEEEEEERD

But for real, I doubt you take your hobbies very seriously.
I only have two hobbies, and I spend literally all my free time reading about or engaging in them.

Then you're probably self-aware enough to realize you could replace one of those things with fitness and not suddenly become a boring person.

Yeah, it’s like 5 hours a week. Sounds like sour grapes.

I do actually take these hobbies very seriously. Only the drawing and programming though. The rest less so.
Well i mean yes actually. Absolutely. I'm not agreeing with the OP or anything, just baiting for (You)s.

damn. all the time lost playing soccer, making life long friends, and training in the off season with bros. new goal is to get a blue tick on twitter

you could run 30 minutes a day, not eat like shit, and look decent in normie standards

I wish I had an interesting hobby like being a fatass

somebody post the image

Literally all you need to do not to be fat is care a little bit about your diet.

>anyone can get ripped, its a consumer decision
>but reading and listening to music those are pure pursuits untainted by consumerism

The pedestal reading is put on by this generation is laughable. Like it's a super hard skill that you've worked for and should be admired for. Not just a pastime that you enjoy.

>Only flabby weak people can have interesting minds

This dude is implying people get fit just for the aesthetics. Haha.

what's hilarious is that in the one panel it says "if we're being judgmental we might think this" and then literally in the next panel he says that exact thing.

Agreed.
Reading fiction is no better than watching TV or playing a video game.
Read non-fiction

Yeah, I'm sure this untalented cartoonist spends all his free time reading Plato instead of watching crap on Netflix.

In 50 years, the guy in the left panel will still be walking around.
The guy in the right will be barely ambulatory if his acquired insulin resistance and sedentary lifestyle don't actually fucking kill him before that.

>goddamn basic bitch turbonerds forgetting the ultimate ideal of having both strength and intellect

even non-fiction is not universally good, a lot of it is pop-psy like subtle art of not giving a f*ck. And then there's the self help books. Even philosophy is masturbatory and history is heavily colored by the author.

I think being well read is good and makes you a better person. But if reading is the reason you don't seek out new life experiences (like lifting in this case) it's as bad as TV or the internet.

Pretentiouswanker, please

Hilarious because this artist took the time to make a whole comic about "Ohhhhh, I'm beautiful the way I am, muh unrealistic standards" just shows how insecure they are about themselves.

Women like fitter men, if they think they don't they're just virtue signaling and putting themselves on some imaginary morale high ground

If you struggle with reading I can help you out user

I guarantee the stuff I read is harder.
Textbooks.
Why someone would waste their time reading fiction or watching TV is beyond me.

The state of this man..

Shit if you're only reading textbooks and skipping all fiction then I'd say you're the pretentious wanker.

>all fiction is disposable
>except if it's not, then it's pretentious
kys

grats on being the most pretentious poster I've ever seen in my 11 years of browsing 4chins.

Hoe de fook do you even get to a point where you think that being Jow Forums is some kind of huge commitment? Just work out 2-3 times a week. 3 hours of lifting +about an hour commute overall. This fuken nerd is seriously saying that someone who spends 4 hours a week to lift is somehow boring because that's all they must do?
Brb dropping out of college and rugby because my 2 hour/week lifting must be all I spend my time on

good on you relating to the shitty comic

again, not agreeing with the comic, just throwing some doubt upon the opposite perspective
personally i think neither of you are right

reading decent fiction is just as, if not more, enriching than reading only non-fiction. It's like someone saying that you only need cardio to be fit y'kno?

>Engaging in fiction for the sole purpose of entertainment
>Thinks he's some kind of genius because of it
Gamers rise

>t. Pretentiouswanker

sure but the question is where does production enter into the equation

Enjoy being a producer buddyboy. Make sure to stay an extra 2 hours at the office so your wife's son can get an xbox

As the poster of I should clarify, by "unfit" I'm really referring to the people like the comic who think fitness is all consuming and prevents one from engaging in anything else that's meaningful. I know plenty of artists, musicians, writers, teachers, and engineers who have no interest in fitness, but none of them are retarded enough to think fitness is antithetical to their pursuits. The people who do think that way are rarely ones who have honed any sort of valuable skill.

>stop playing those games and come watch TV
>stop watching TV and read a book
>stop reading fiction and read something useful
>stop spending so much with those books and go out and talk to people
>stop spending so much time socializing and create something

and so the superiority circlejerk continues

This. Lifting should not be your primary physical activity. The gymcels of this board are just as boring as the guy in the comic.

not just that but "oh he takes care of himself"

if you see a fat person you know they don't give a fuck about themselves and if they don't why the hell should you

not to mentionone of the things that women get turned off the most by is having to feel like your mother and who's more likely to need to to cook and clean for them as well as needing nagging to get off their arse just once the whole weekend? the fat guy of course

Oh look at you you're such a big boy, look at you, you read the words on the page and it told you a story!!!

It's such bullshit. Fiction is just entertainment. Some entertainment can be provocative and have intruiging concepts. And pretty much everyone will seek out entertainment, so if you want to get it in book form, well, good boy!

Don't ascribe the sort of inherent virtuousness to reading that normies do.

But otherwise, the most provocative concepts will necessarily be that which is designed to convey provacative concepts. That is, non-fiction.

Of course, tons of popular fiction and nonfiction bestsellers are a bunch of horseshit anyways, thirty pages padded into 300.

TLDR; Some books suck, some books are ok. You aren't a big boy and inherently virtuous because you read something. Avoid the intellectually insecure normie meme that you're a good person because today you read something

Nothing in your long-winded response addressed his point. There’s nothing wrong with reading non-fiction as long as it’s of high quality.

wew, you sure are retarded. nice spacing btw

Don't call yourself cultured or interesting unless you've savored Mario Kart 64, gone on an epic quest to save Princess Zelda in Ocarina of time, or lived through the masterpiece that is Gone Home, pleb
Fiction is anything but disposable to the cultured man

>reddit lardass thinks browsing Jow Forums counts as exercise

Hahaha

If he truelly did not cared about his weight, he would not draw shit comic like this.

Wait, I don't understand, how was the conversation completely reversed?
This thread started out by painting production as something desirable and consumption as undesirable, and then drew a correlation between production and fitness, and a corresponding correlation between consumption and being unfit.
Are you now claiming that producers are categorically wagecucked and consumers are enlightened and redpilled? All just because a producer is unfit?
That's pretty pathetic, I gotta be honest.
That's fair. I definitely don't think that way. In fact I don't doubt there's a correlation between fitness and productive hobbies. I just doubt the correlation is very strong. Strong enough to be significant, I'm sure, but weak enough that there are many, many, many exceptions.
But yeah, claiming the *opposite* correlation exists is just plainly absurd.

To be fair, Rick and Morty is the cartoon equivalent of Dostoyevsky

Tell you what brah, pick up a few of these books, give them a read and see for yourself whether fiction is shit or not?

The Idiot - F. Dostoyevsky
The Dubliners - J. Joyce
The Loved Ones - E. Waughn
Labyrinths - J. L. Borges
A Farewell to Arms - E. Hemingway

They're all, barring The Idiot, short reads so you may as well. Also reading Hemingway is like having some really built guy tell you an anecdote whilst he cops a feel of your lass.

>The Dubliners
>didn't get dubs
failed check

Yeah yeah, I can name a bunch of "profound" video games and movies too.
God literaturefags are the worst

top kek

Being fit isn't about being a producer, it's about looking aesthetic for yourself not so you can produce for society. Being a fat slob who wagecucks 12 hours a day like you is very productive but it's not good for you.

who hurt you

>this amount of posturing
holy shit

>You aren't a big boy and inherently virtuous because you read something
>Avoid the intellectually insecure normie meme that you're a good person because today you read something
take your own advice faggot. just because you can read some masturbatory philosophy book and now you think you're "provocative" or "profound" doesn't mean shit.

Why don't you post your 5 favorite nonfiction books so we can laugh.

Yeah I've read Farewell to Arms. It's a good book.

The Shawshank Redemption is also a good movie. It was good entertainment.

Putting one higher on a perceived totem pole because reading is inherently more difficult and therefore less accessible is intellectual snobbishness. "This is difficult to do, therefore I am more sophisticated for appreciating the hard way". Your brain will likely come up with a more appealing justification, but you really should take a moment to wonder if your purported justifications better align with the virtuous ones or the snobbish ones.

Now look, if we're dealing with detailed concepts or ideas reading is pretty helpful for understanding those concepts in depth. But however you encounter those ideas is irrelevant to your fluency. And fluency in concepts is all that matters

It's not just a job though, it's also a hobby. So really I do it more than 12 hours a day.
And I'm not debating that being unfit isn't good for me. That's quite obvious. I'm simply calling into question the initial premise of this thread: that being fit and being a producer are strongly correlated, and conversely being unfit and being a consumer are strongly correlated.
If you never accepted that premise to begin with, then I don't understand what issue you take with my posts. Is it simply that I'm unfit? Because I'll have you know, I'm fixing that. Why else would I be here?

>Why don't you post your 5 favorite nonfiction books so we can laugh.

>a STEMfag. in both cases you should kys

Not him but why should STEMfags kill ourselves?
Fuck you, what's wrong with science technology engineering and math?

That's the premise of not the premise of this thread.
The original premise of this thread is laughing at coping cucks like the author of the comic.

You'll never understand what it is to be cultured and serve coffee for a living

Blood Meridian is the greatest American novel. Better than moby dick.

This is the most cope/beta shit I've read in my entire life.

Shit man I never said that books are inherently better than TV entertainment. Just making the argument that fiction is just as enriching as non-fiction.

It’s like pot smokers. It’s not the act itself, it’s the culture around it. STEMfags are insufferable, even though it makes for good careers.

There are lots of STEMfags that think like that, but it's not causal. They're usually the ones that end up replaceable codemonkeys because they have no sense of personal responsibility. Don't be the dummy that makes the humanities look bad.

kekked
i take no issue with people who serve coffee for a living either actually but man
well yeah i guess, but to be fair, the replies along that line started with a post from OP (), it's just that i can understand how you may have missed it in a quick skim over since it was sarcastic

No I agree with you. Name dropping of particular books doesn't make me any more intelligent.
"Oh I read a nonfiction book today oh I'm so good."- no, it's mostly all bullshit. Even good nonfiction books aren't necessarily making you a better person. Just because you've read it doesn't mean you've actually understood the content or can make use of it.

Knowledge or intellectual ability should be evaluated entirely independently of having read the details of any particular book. That means you can read books or not. It's all bullshit and a desire to show ones purported intellectual prowess. Maybe you're better off or not from reading. That you read, or have read particular books doesn't prove anything

yeah but why shoul d insufferable people kill themsevs though?

Not sure if you’re trolling or autistic. When someone on Jow Forums says “kys” they don’t mean to literally go end your life.
