I was a bouncer for 10 years. This is pretty much correct but its also about intensity, if someone starts off with anything lower than 11 out off 10 thats the opening.
Street fights arent boxing matches, theres no rules. You swing at me in public I assume you are intending to kill me and act accordingly until you back off or cant hurt me anymore.
Deficits are a funny thing.
How are you doing it? How long for? How big a deficit?
Previously its been hard, but I did a lot of research about macros, meals, using fat content to slow digestion etc... Once I got my diet dialed it was easy, because I figured out a few meals that were FUCKING HUGE and still low enough in calories that I got to be "full" at least once a day and hit all my nutrients.
That being said I'm on the last 2 weeks of a 750 cal deficit for 12 weeks and yeah, its starting to get real. Ive had a couple of days this week where Ive said "Fuck it" and had a second protein bar after dinner taking my deficit to only 500. After this I'll be transitioning back to maintenance cals for 8 weeks although I have promised myself a "Mega blowout" meal of a whole costco pizza and I can eat until I dont want any more pizza in 1 sitting.
Its not so much that you feel "hungry" but you learn to love the feeling of not existing on a sugar and fat cocktail 24 hours a day. I think I'm actually going to have trouble readjusting to an extra 750 cals a day, let alone going onto bulking cals at some point.
I like the styling too, its got a wicked 80s cyberpunk/Delorian/Tron vibe. I dislike... everything else. I get why a lot of people wouldnt like it, its a love it or hate it deal.
But now that Musk is such a polarising figure and the truck is such a polarising design I think a lot of people cant or wont separate the two.
Ive found its made doing end-runs around enshitification easier.
For example Trying to find a front suspension top for a peugeot 206 gti with google means being recommended everything front suspension for the peugeot 207, 208, Vw Gti, Swift Gti... not to mention the websites "Best price on insert what you searched for here" only they sell nothing.
So I ask chat gpt for the part number and search that.
NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.
Thats 3 promises broken at once.
Haters are gonna hate hate hate hate hate.
"Not quite as pretty as you, thats how I could tell you apart."
She loaded it, but poorly. Which is a vast improvement on my wifes not loading it at all.
"I'm sorry you feel that way" is up there.
Simple. Im ripping up the ticket.
Since my actions have knock on effects and the ticket is 1 way that means Id have to abandon my wife and child and given how much my actions would change things, effectively unmake my daughter.
The worlds fucked, I might be able to unfuck it but theres a better chance Id just create a different flavor of shit sandwich. But to know Id never hear "Dayyydeee come pway wif meeeeee" again.
Fuck it. Let it burn.
Best advice Ive heard on chairs "Fuck gamer and racer style chairs. Look for something that screams "Im going to fire 3000 people over Zoom in this shit"
Being able to fall asleep and wake up exactly when I want to without an alarm man.
In 3rd grade we had a rack of books in the class and we would sometimes be given half an hour to pick a book and read, I was a reader, I got like half way through a book and it was time up and we had to put the books back, well I wanted to finish it so I put it in my bag and went to ask the teacher if I could finish it later, she was busy talking to someone and told me she would talk to me "in a minute" and like a 7 or 8 yo I promptly forgot about it. An hour later she sees the book in my bag, calls me out in front of the whole class for stealing and when I tried to tell her Id tried to ask if it was ok to take it home so I could read it later but she was busy she called me a "liar and a theif" and back onto the shelf it went.
A few days later I took the book and hid it behind a cabinet near the door to our room, at reading time she noticed it was missing, demanded to know what Id done with it, accused me of stealing it again and tipped my bag onto the floor to find it. When she didnt find it, she told me "once a theif always a theif" and when the bell rung that day and she was busy packing up her desk, me the last kid out the door put his bag down to tie his shoe... and I stole the fucking thing.
If you're going to treat me like I'm guilty anyway, might as well be guilty.
With only hearing one side of a conversation they know nothing about, they decided that the confident person must be correct because?
Horses.
Its an easily startled 900lb retard with sledgehammers for hands.
No its not majestic, keep it the direct fuck away from me.
Helldivers 2 had zero advertising that I saw and it slaps.
Cyberpunk might have actually delivered on its promises if they spent half of their advertising budget on the dev team instead of billboards.
As an Australian I can comment on this, theres this wonderful thing called "Context"
At McDonalds they refer to them as fries, but if you ask for a large chips, they know what you mean. If you go into a petrol station and ask where the crisps are, nobodies head explodes. If you go into a place that has ALL 3 (french fries, chips and crisps) and say "Can I get some chips" the person will ask for clarificaton.
British roots and American television has made OUR english quite flexible.
I have a toddler who doesnt understand the concept of "We cant watch Gabbys Dollhouse anymore because Daddy is sticking it to the man."
Nope, few more years before I can think about shitcanning any of them.
I think he also took a shit.
You want carnage? Can we please feed it the entire history of 4chan?
Take the treat, thank the management and still fight for better wages and conditions. Its not either/or and if you think it is you're a fucking idiot. You should ALWAYS be fighting for more.
You think Reddit has BEEN bad? Wait until theres shareholders expecting a ROI.
I work for the post in another country where its medically prescribable and we have seen an uptick in suspicious small packages that reek of weed. The boss called the cops on the first one (years ago) and the cops were more interested in how we knew what marijuana smelled like and treated us like shit for calling them. Really we just wanted guidance on where our liability was on being part of the "chain" and how seriously we should take it and they were absolute cunts.
So now in our office our unofficial policy is "You smelled pot? No you didnt. And if you did, how do you know its not being sent legally? And even if you're fucking sure its sketchy as hell, you're calling the cops and making the statements and dealing with it. You arent fucking my day up over some guy getting a quarter you fucking narc."
Sounds like they need a good union.
When the person showing you around starts telling you who to avoid.
The answer to damn near every question being "the complete tear down and rebuilding of society as we know it"
ITT: Tankies not realising they are in a shitposting community.
Oh I work for the government my friend. I actively disrupt those meetiings, I complain out loud that they could have been an email, I take great joy in pointing out that none of our "feedback" is ever implemented and that the meetings are an ego massaging exercise.
Consequently, 75% of the regular attendees like me and 25% want to stab me really bad, but we do now have fewer meetings.
Go onto Lemmygrad and try talking about your investment property.
Theres a non-zero chance that Linus Sebastian just did something really dumb. LoL.
Its like none of you have been to a gangbang before.
Do you know how hard it is to get more than 4 guys close enough at once?
I cant find the video but there was a very serious accident in Australia at a theme park and several people died. The ambulance crews who attended reported that "The patients suffered injuries incompatible with life" and the media had a fucking field day about how paramedics shouldnt be making jokes and how cold and insensitive it was and blah blah blah.
The Ambulance service had a press conference the following day which was one of the absolute best public ass chewings Ive ever seen. The guy tore into the media like a wolverine. Heavily paraphrased but - "Our paramedics are not doctors, legally speaking they cannot pronounce someone dead. They do however know that a man who has been literally torn to pieces by heavy machinery cant be helped. They have to stand there, look at that scene and make a realistic professional assessment that the patient has suffered injuries that nobody could survive and report that. Then they have to look at the next person... and report that professionally too... and then the next one... And without doing any investigation into our procedures and the why of them you decide to report on OUR professionalism!?!"
Even fast food restaraunts in airports pay a higher hourly rate to compensate the staff for the added pain in the balls for getting to work.
This has always been my stance, Women make up approximately 50% of the population and the WNBA generates 2% of the revenue that the NBA does...
My wife and her friends go to some restaraunt once a month and they buy brand name workout clothes. Go to a game, buy a jersey, take your daughter and make it a thing.
People are missing the fundamental point of defederation. THIS IS A GOOD THING.
You can have an absolutely squeaky clean instance for memes, news and generally huge sharing communities. Instances that dont have to worry about DCMA notices or having their servers seized and you can have instances that are willing to run those risks for niche content. If legal threats start being thrown around, the meme and hobby communities dont suffer. The piracy instances can shut down, migrate and start again, making the lawyers play whackamole.
Oh come on... you're leaving out Eric and Jnr? Thats just asking for a revenge plot reboot.
The market for people who NEED printers is shrinking. Last concert I went to I had the QR code ticket in my phone, I havent printed map directions in at least 15 years and I literally cannot remember the last item I needed to print at home.
But they also cant say "Oh well, we had a good 30 year run with home printers" they have to keep making more than last year, so they have to get increasingly predatory.
I mean, theres 3 categories for giving them a pass on their transgressions (as a fan, not legally or morally speaking) IMO.
The art/performance was just so far beyond good that you cant deny the cultural significance. E.g Michael Jackson, Elvis, Tupac.
You had a personal connection to the art before they did the shitty thing or before it came to light. (In my case: early Chris Brown, Kid Rock) They were big in my late teens and early 20s and I have positive memories associated with their songs. Not the percieved quality of the art.
They had their day in court, did their time and time has passed. E.g Mark Wahlberg, I dont know the guy, I dont know if he is a good person or not these days. But the last documented occasion of him being a huge violent racist asshole is 1992... 32 years ago.
Women (and trans women) naturally carry a higher body fat percentage than men (Incl trans men) a "male" athlete can more safely and more easily carry a lower body fat % and therefore more muscle per kilo. So the weight classes wouldnt be able to be 1:1 if you wanted a level playing field.
There is still the inherent biological advantage in being born male and going through male puberty and developing a male muscular/skeletal system before transitioning. Very difficult to rule around every nuance of this though.
Agreed, I think the diehards have gotten much louder and the people who saw him as a catalyst for change have gotten a whole lot quieter.
I admit that I very much didnt think it was a good thing when he got elected but I did think "Maybe he will piss off a few people who need pissing off, upset some apple carts and generally upset the status quo and MAYBE be a catalyst for change some of which for the good." Yeah... it wasnt.
