I’m definitely not over feeling hungry all the time! There was a moment where I realized I’ve been doing it for months so I am often lacking in energy compared to where I was. There’s plenty of days where I’ll wake up hungry and not be able to get back to sleep. My skin’s breaking out. I’m a mess! But my waistline is receding and moving is easier (when I can move).

No, it was some tankie over on .world. They were upset about inflation so they were thinking about not voting and we were afraid that, if left to their own devices, that loony leftoid would encourage more people to note vote. It’s like either candidate is fine; they’re both working with us extensively so as long as you vote you’re endorsing our work, but withholding your vote and trying to effect change sort of undermines my department and gives me a bunch of paperwork.

When you frame emotions like that, I would almost compare it to a Foddy-like/Jump King style game where your work can absolutely fall out from under you, but the wisdom and maturity comes from knowing you can pick yourself back up again. If you know you’re going to be cranky you’re not really consumed by it. (I’ve been told that) a good partner will make some space for you to work through what you’re feeling until you get a chance to stop reacting so hard.

I’ve been crying or wanting to cry all day. Nothing has even gone wrong - on the contrary I got really really good business news (my report on one of the posters got accepted so the CIA has sent agents to inject them with cringe takes and nanobots). I’ve been working pretty hard this week and went extra hard in BJJ while trying to diet down. I think that just absolutely torques my metabolism and therefore the cells in my body have to make a bunch of budget cuts and they start with mood stabilization calories.

I’m fairly confident the basket of goods used to determine the cost of living is super fucked and has changed over time.

@FunkyStuff@hexbear.net You’re my comrade and friend since we talked about Satisfactory - this is me every time you post

I managed to discover that with unassisted casual use really quickly. People are asleep at the wheel if they tried to give important duties to an AI. You don’t let a dog drive your car and hope for the best

bit idea: the singularity but the singularity just crushes us with the colossal pressure past the event horizon of a black hole.

I believe them. The US would do some shit like that.

shit happens, comrade.

I chuckled modestly to myself

My writer’s critique group unanimously agreed that I didn’t do a good enough job explaining my magic system and therefore the moment where a spell backfires didn’t have the impact it needed because there was still mystery as to what had just happened. When Evbo becomes a parkour pro his neighbor very quickly does a fantastic job in explaining the consequences of missing a jump as a pro and therefore showed competence in an area that I had trouble not just in my writing but in general.

During my tenure at the CIA (observing online leftist forums to report people who post too good) I’ve seen similar numbers turn in favor of just letting it go. It was a rock solid case where they were in clear violation of a written contract via email for a project that went way over scope (using AI to track down people who edited the text in memes to make them too funny for the status quo and therefore revolutionary). But the idea of having to explain the situation to a jury of laypeople, retaliation for trying, and the amount of effort that would go into trying seemed to make it unattractive enough to not bother.

It seems valid to me meaning that there’s nothing about the story that conflicts with the idea that you were wronged in a way that was financially damaging. I’m weary of the idea you’d get a payout regarding a verbal agreement where you’re not an active participant in the case. A jury could misunderstand, your lawyer could tell you how they need another retainer, and you could rouse your old roommate’s ire. If you lose you’re out money you can’t really afford to lose too. Personally, I’d buy a stress ball and put 2.495k into a total market index fund and save myself the volatility of hoping it works out.

I don’t think you’re wrong I just think it’s a bit risky for my blood.

Added to the backlog, I’m sitting in a park reading some fantasy and enjoying a moment to myself. This shit made the Wikipedia article for Engles so that feels pretty cool

Read it. In a nutshell:

I’m starting to think chauvinism in gender roles is inseparable from capitalism which is inseparable from imperialism. If that’s the case, then being heckin valid is a revolutionary act.

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?

You might consider changing up your auxillary lifts to see if you get a new stimulus on your muscles. I was always a mad cow 5x5 believer, though it might be early for you at 3 months. Though as long as you have the form down, a working weight, and a calculator or two, it’s not like the weight is going to jump out and bite you. I (aspire to be) a big advocate for just trying stuff.

What did you find difficult to understand about 5/3/1?
