this entire story smells fishy

ive noticed an uptik of guys talking about bad relationships with their girlfriends lately

Probably because male loneliness is prominent now more than ever it seems. I have a couple of pals that are just way too desperate and they put with some toxic stuff because they think that's better than no companionship at all.

I'm talking about Latine, and an article was already posted showing it is much more popular than Latinx among Spanish speakers:

Ah, my bad, thought that was a typo. Didn't realize a new term was coined interesting

All signs point to it eventually winning out. It's more popular, Spanish speaking people came up with it, .

Is it lol? I'm Mexican from SoCal. Never heard seen anyone Irl use Latinx back home. Especially never seen it firsthand from relatives in Mexico either. Last I recall, the general consensus amongst Hispanics is they don't care about it's use. Meaning it's not particularly disliked, but it's also rarely ever used. Only like a small percentage of people use it, and most just don't care to correct them. Like if some white colleague were talk to me and say Latinx, I'd think "huh?", but would just go along with them. Let them be

Yeah, my butt will certainly get sore on the long rides. Short ones are fine, but that's largely because I wear cycling shorts. If you plan on doing some rides, I can't emphasize the importance of them harder. They're padded in the rear/groin so it makes it so much more bearable.

As for the larger weight gain, it could be water weight? If you use creatine or have a higher sodium intake you're going to retain more water. Hard to say. I think the only way of being sure is using an app like My Fitness Pal to log your calories and activity to see what is causing a jump.

Good luck with the changes! For me I'm going to start implementing a daily step count. Want that recommended 10,000 a day at the bare minimum.

Creatine definitely increases your weight and muscle mass. Just make sure it doesn't affect your kidneys.

I'm just seeing this. Amazing effort and elevation. My aim is to ride one mountain this year but I'm not sure when that's going to be.

Seeing that it's in the 60s in South Korea means it must have been a comfortable ride in terms of weather. Mine this afternoon was not.

48 minute row watching Konosuba & Date a Live

Set up a TV and headphones to my outdoor weight area and now I can lift while watching stupid shit, it's great. Did all of this watching the Konosuba Season 3 Dub during my day off post-ride. Absent-mindedly lifting is much better than sitting on my ass and drinking.

Very close to snatching my GF and doing a triathlon this Sunday one hour north from me. I want to see if my boss needs me to work because we really need the extra money and a virtual option is not terrible since I've already paid. I've done zero running training other than playing 2k while walking on the treadmill but my running folk say that it shouldn't be a problem to run a 5K early in the morning.

Thanks! It's definitely been my most intensive ride of 2024. I cycled across the country last year and this was my longest ride and climb

I was much better conditioned as I was cycling every day and that was well into the trip so my body was acclimated. I'd like to do more intense rides like these, but now that summer is rolling around, it'll have to wait. Couldn't imagine doing this in 80+ weather with humidity or rain. So kudos to getting a ride in the heat. I'll probably take a cycling hiatus

As tiring as it is, I can't recommend it enough, a mountain ride is well worth it. Hope you find the opportunity. The ride down makes you feel like you are speed incarnate. Plus once you've cycled uphill enough times, it makes any type of run or walk uphill seem so much more bearable in comparison.

Yeah when i did it, everyone was naked but we all did our own thing. I was admiring the painting of Mt. Fuji on the wall, another dude was reading his kindle, and another was meditating or something. It was chill >_>

Yeah it can be a very surreal experience. I was in a mini onsen in Nagano, and I'm not too familiar with how hot the water is supposed to be. So when some older Japanese man dipped his toes in he was like "aren't you boiling in there?". And then he started to add cold water in while splashing the hot water out.

So then I got out and started helping him and then it occurred to me how unique of a situation it was to me personally. Being but ass naked with an old stranger kicking water out of a tub together. Yet it felt like normal occurrence.

Havent been to Japan, but as far as I know I wouldnt be allowed in the public baths anyway because a large majority of them dont allow tattoos.

Yeah but if you're clearly foreign, they tend to be more lenient. Of course some places it's still a strong no, but they understand now with their tourist economy they're losing out on a significant chunk of patronage. I found places that accommodated me in Osaka last year

A lot of people on the Internet seem to agree.

In this case Akuma would be good, too, right? Because they have similar fighting styles.

While he does have a similar moveset, I don't think he's going to be very beginner friendly. I haven't played SF6 in a fat minute so I haven't gotten my hands on him yet, however historically he's always been more of a technical glass cannon.

You definitely have more tools in the kit with him than you do Ken or Ryu, but without the fundamentals down there's a chance of being overwhelmed or over relying on things specific to him. Definitely worth moving on to after familiarizing yourself with the other shoto characters.

I agree let's spice things up, but maybe we shouldn't pick felon that's too heinous. Going with Trump is like going from 0 to 100. We should start with a felon that's significantly less awful. Maybe like a serial killer or cannibal?

Read this and first thought was Alex Jones at a busy traffic intersection going up to cars trying to sell hidden valley ranch to make ends meet. Idk why it didn't immediately occur to me that he could own a ranch lol

Korean movies have been better than American movies for at least 20 years and it really isn't even close.

Not only do I disagree but my hot take is Bong Joon Ho movies are severely overrated. Parasite was okay and that's about all he's got worth mentioning.

I can give plenty of recommendations if you come to SK. When do you plan on traveling? Honestly I'd advise against it for the summer or winter

So, its Mondaythe day I kick off my new training regimen. Yesterday, the scale showed 204 pounds, and theres no way Im sliding back to where I was. Sure, Im still dealing with post-surgery pain, and my family needs my support. Plus, that dissertation is hanging over my head. Lifes heavy, right?

But heres the deal: Im telling the Health and Wellness Social (and myself) that Im getting back in the groove. Last night, I aimed for an 11 PM bedtime, but Twitter sucked me inthe very thing Id given up. Well, no more. First things first: Im blocking that time-sucking app when I wake up. Then, lets tackle this weight loss journey head-on.

I feel this. Have you tried an app-blocking app? Fighting fire with fire lol. Instead of manually blocking it yourself, you can have automatic scheduled times of free use and restrictions

Water(Carbonated with lime or lemon)

Tasty and versatile, however theyre lacking decent macronutrients. The exception being sweet potatoes.

Hit a bike route and then some today. Gonna undo all of this work by slamming some pizza and beer lol

How long are they there for? A little thing I like to remind myself is, eating salad and exercising for a couple days isn't going to magically shed off a bunch of weight. The inverse is true. A day or two of eating and lounging won't bring imminent ruin. It's the long run

Don't have to imagine

Going to Jeju in July so I've been cutting hard. Finally got a food scale so I can track my macros more precisely. Realized I was definitely underfeeding myself when eyeballing the portions lol. Nowhere near as fatigued now.

Lots of outdoorsy more solo ones like hiking, cycling, or climbing. More people on the mountains, boulders, and bike trails don't make these experiences any more enjoyable

Deal. It might mean I'll have to skip a few meals to save up that much, but I'm sure it will be money well spent

Not in this hypothetical, you cant.

You can however just shitbag the work lol. If I slack will I get fired? If not, just do the bare minimum every day and collect the check. Honestly though with that kind of wage I'd put in the work. Wouldn't want to risk losing that golden egg laying goose

The beef is even talked about here in South Korea lmao. Like it makes sense for it to be famous worldwide in English speaking countries, but Koreans are involved too lol

Yeah at 50k a month you can easily have it so that you live within walking distance of work

Life became so much simpler once I stopped hunting the platinum trophies. However, my wallet also became much lighter since I was buying games more frequently after that. Didnt have arbitrary trophies pacing my purchases.

Yes... But conversely there's also parts of me that genuinely enjoy watching the downfall of others
Specific people of course, but still I can't really say I'm a saint lol.

metralo posted...

then move to somewhere that isn't literally stealing from you? if you can't get by on 5k a month by yourself then you live in a problematic area

I mean living by yourself is easy. I live in Seoul (a pretty pricey place) and I'm making roughly 5k a month post tax, so it's very doable for me, but I couldn't imagine trying to raise a child in this economy. And yeah, I could simply just move somewhere where it's cheaper, but there's so much you have to trade off permanently for that, while with the 50k a month, any sacrifices made are temporary.

You certainly can retire with 5k a month, but the point is you have so much less freedom in the long run

MC_BatCommander posted...

You could be retiring instantly with the first option. 5k per month is pretty solid for guaranteed income

Depends on where you live. Plan to die alone or for a very mundane retirement with 5k a month. Not enough to raise a family, especially in metropolitan areas with a higher COL. Forget about any travel or vacations that people typically do after retiring.

They don't even got to make it taste good. 0 calorie food would be God tier even if it tasted like wood

Maybe it's a good ego boost? You can tell yourself that you're better than everyone else and insult others a bit easier

There's always been haters. Nothing new or special man. Never liked him, and never really disliked him until the Pusha T beef since I kept him off my radar tbh
