If I'm keeping it a buck, that was a quote from Naruto. But I fucking love Rock Lee and Guy-Sensei

"I don't know if I can take it. Sometimes it seems like the whole thing is pointless. Like I am a loser and I will always be a loser. I do not know what to do "

"You're right. All the effort is pointless... If you don't believe in yourself "

That sucks we have that in common. I just don't drink, I wasn't trying to make a whole thing out of it.

D'STURBING THE PEACE

LOOK INTO MY EYES

NOW TELL ME THE THINGS YOU'RE BLABBIN

ABOUT ME BEHIND MY BACK

Does Iran know that Americans want fucking nothing to do with fighting them?

One time I suggested revoking consent for organ donation en masse as a form of protest but it got deleted as reactionary. But I can't help but imagine the stark contrast in keeping the braindead woman's corpse alive to use the uterus and then not use the other organs. It would be a fun dialogue (at the cost of someone's well-being)

Even history can't stop making remasters instead of new IPs

They'll be like "behold! All your leaders are PEDOPHILES!" and we'd be like

I'll give you my honest reaction: I'm impressed. That's so much spin.

When Marxists don't get their way death cultists tend to start killing people, yeah. Pretty good rule of thumb if you ask me.

It's one of the modern day Warcraft 3s. In that respect its peers are Fortnite and Warcraft 3. Sometimes DotA 2 (where auto battlers started), Steam if you squint your eyes (Vampire Survivors and rougelikes), and I bet some Godot forum has "easily" accessible tools for making games.

If you think you've found a way to make kids stop making light of horrible shit then I have a bridge to sell you. It goes over the bay in Arizona

I think about this image so often.

Hell yeah! Video games aren't even weird anymore. This silly goose wrote an article because they were in their own head about it

A thrilling part of being alive around other humans is your ability to bond even if "on paper" you're not supposed to be friends

No clown ever sent a soldier after me.

Thank you! It's just under 3 months in the making. I weighed myself under the best conditions as well having eaten very few carbs for dinner the night before.

I thought I was doing a modest cut as I've struggled with it in the past. Turns out I would really underestimating my TDEE by saying I was low activity instead of moderate or high. So I'm averaging more than double what I was reporting in terms of deficit. By getting a shitload of protein the deficit turns out to have a minimal impact on my athletic performance and the hunger becomes... "manageable."

"[It's big?] I know, right? Haha" and the situation resolves. Even if it doesn't: "you ever hear of the steam deck? It's like a big Switch" AND EVEN IF IT DOESN'T END THEN: "Yeah, I like the big screen better haha"

If you can't spam A through awkward interactions with strangers how are you going to survive in this world? If I'm next to someone playing a steam deck? Best case scenario I'm watching it like a let's play

When I was studying torture at Mossad University as a part of my dream of working at Langley, I remember reading scientific articles and their critiques. A common thread was things like "you should use more than 1 cell line to see that it isn't a quirk of that particular line." So you'd get these articles that are like Hormone Promoter AFHKJLSJHDKJ-1 Upregulation Due to AOSIDJA-234Benzyne-1-S Not Significantly Different in OIUREWYIUWBVW Cell Line and AOSIDJ-324 Cell Line that no sane person would ever read for entertainment. If you were, in particular, a grad student/PhD hopeful/actively researching that field you would need that as a reference that you dissect for methods, hypothesis formation, etc.

Which is to say that it was pretty safe to assume that the OIUREWYIUWBVW Cell Line was representative, but a scientific inquiry is an endeavor to isolate variables and rid your work of assumptions, so sometimes you do have to do the painstaking work of retracing your steps with more study into teasing apart variables you didn't think of previously. So when your work is something salacious and attention grabbing you'll find that obvious thing in that test that isolates it so that it can be used as a citation. Not because the work was trying to be groundbreaking, but because in peer review, if your abstract says "it's common knowledge that AFHKJLSJHDKJ-1 Upregulation Due to AOSIDJA-234Benzyne-1-S is common throughout humans." you're going to get lit up with everyone saying "well, you don't know that..." But if you can cite PhD Student et. al. 2025 and the exacting method of asserting the obvious, it becomes more rigorous.

Consider the lengths you have to go to in order to create a proof that 2 + 2 = 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-pL2J0ZB8g

So if you want to do the immortal science of Sociology, the study of Socialism I assume, they're going to want you to apply the same rigorous standard to how your studies are presented.

Early in the megathread to say that I'm down 12kg and it's pretty

Puts me under 100kg for the first time in a while. It makes fighting heavyweights in BJJ harder, but I suppose that's what I was going for in the first place. I think my endgame is 90kg.
