Was going to make a joke about parents forcing gender roles on you, but that's probably super relevant

Recalling that one humorous conversation I had abroad where I met a woman from the country my ex had ancestry from and telling her how I therefore had no desire to visit that country.

As opposed to, presumably, becoming matadors and causing the garbage truck driver to plunge into the sea. They could have then sang Hamilton songs as they emerged from the water to capture a new fan in the marketplace of ideas.

3Blue1Brown is that advancement in math. They create the most beautiful illustrations of math I've ever seen in my life by a wide margin.

Hey, I get it. In times like these it's easy to get overwhelmed by hate, anger, frustration, and feelings of impotence. But I need you to remember you said you would wash your sheets last week and you still haven't. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Edit: second-plane the second load of laundry that includes the sheets has hit the washing machine

I see this really good plan on t nation which, despite its... branding... seems like a solid layout for a plan [1]. It makes for a good read, but if you feel confident with it, the table with the percentages and the table with the example workout would be sufficient. The idea appears to be that it's a 4 week cycle on any given primary compound lift - the first week is the 5 reps, the second week is the 3 reps, the third week is the 5/3/1 so you can blast that 1RM. Then the fourth week is the deload since you're attempting to max out your central nervous system. I imagine if you're getting too much volume from 3x5 then you have issues beyond our scope (we can't do medical advice). I like this idea that, in the pursuit of getting bigger numbers, you're focusing in precisely on getting that progressive overload in by increasing intensity and decreasing reps. It's all based on your (calculated) 1RM and I'd probably just type in my working set into the exrx calculator and then put that number into a spreadsheet with the percentages from tnation [2]. There wouldn't be any guess work in what weight or how many reps you're doing on any given day, it might just take a couple cycles to dial in what your 1RM is so you can make the cycle be the appropriate amount of intense. Does this answer your questions? Does it seem like the move?

If I knew everybody was set forever, I bet I could do that shit too.

hopiumwhat if it's too late for that sort of thing? If you send a random ballistic into the factory there'd be a collective groan as isntrael says that there were terrorists over there... AGAIN. It would make the news and the dwindling popular support as well as anyone besides literally the US government would take a hit. If they care about any popular opinion at all, and it seems like they do if they wanted tiktok banned, then lobbing a random bomb over there to stop some textile workers with a recognizable name would make a lot of people unhappy. If I were Palestine I would almost consider making a big show of not using Hirbawi for anything that could even be misconstrued as Hamas in Hirbawi so if the worst happens Israel pisses everyone off. I don't know shit from pigballs, so far be it from me to armchair this sort of thing, but what a tragedy that would be and I'm sure it hangs on so many people's minds.

PSYCH! THAT'S THE WRONG NUMBER!

 

You remember it now, dork!

IIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii want to be neenja!!

 

they-dont-know

 

damn, this shit sucks.

 

I've been pontificating about it to myself for long enough to form it into that question. When I think of someone virulently MCS, the content is almost always their perception of others as lessers - NPCs, background characters, or fodder. They are the hero and they could cut through a horde of others and they're frustrated by rules and regulations that say they can't. But I might be so bold as to say that their problem isn't that they see themselves as special, but that they see themselves as exceptional.

The problem is that they're rude to service workers, upset when people step in front of their camera, or judge the choices of others (especially for the effect it has on you e.g. opining during a marriage ceremony). Therefore my thesis of special vs exceptional is that if you are filming yourself on a busy street but you don't obstruct people nor react to people walking through the shot, you're not hurting anyone. You can take up space, but you should be polite while doing it to be someone who cohabitates this one world. You can think yourself a person with a hidden demon within them who must prove themselves to be the best and be monstrously disappointed when you finish second all the while being a weird anime person, but cheating, misrepresenting yourself to others, or expecting others to help you is where you cross the line.

So all that being said, perhaps it's not a problem to think yourself in a unique position to solve a problem no one else has - perchance help people along the way. After all, no one else is you nor has anyone ever been nor will anyone ever be. The world is a collection of individuals. You can think you're cool, smart, mysterious, kind, forgiving, or hang your hat on some other piece of personal esteem and be a great friend, peer, and comrade. On a tangential note, I like how in prominent MMA promotions, after someone is declared the victor, the camera begins to focus on them and their celebration instead of zooming in on someone who is visibly very frustrated by their loss.

You neednt even wrap your brain around the boundless scale of everyone's genius in some aspect nor make yourself less by reminding yourself of it when you think highly of yourself - it is a lesson to learn if you're belittling others.

I'd really like your input and opinions on the matter.

I woke up so upset

 

What if it's not perfectly crafted bad? What if it belongs in the mega instead? What if it's too genuine and not ironic enough?

 

I was doing a 1 min no increment bullet chess game when I noticed my opponent opened a line from b2 to their rook for my bishop. I took it. They then proceeded to drop every single non-pawn piece in 18 moves and then got checkmated on move 19. When I looked up, I realized that they were Palestinian. I am so sorry. kiryu-slam

On the bright side, I've been abandoning games against anybody I see with a isntrael flag
