Starting to lift weights was the best decision I ever made and the best habit I’ve ever formed. Nagging aches and pains are basically a thing of the past. I’m way more useful, and my lower body, which was once withered and useless after a decade of working in an office, have been replaced with tree trunks and a dump-truck ass

A couple of the accessory benefits of this that in order to support my lifting progress I now eat way better, quit drinking and prioritize proper sleep. Overall it’s just been a huge increase in quality of life

Strength training has such an incredible impact on your overall wellbeing everyone should incorporate it into their routine as much as possible

Now they know where to install the urinal

Something like “Temporarily inconvenienced billionaires” I think?

Thinking that there is no reason to take your shoes off is the most American thing in the world. There is poop, pee, puke, pollen, pollution, parvo and prions out there, among other things.

In Japan the entryway of a house is usually a step lower than the rest of the house. It is considered part of the outside, where the shoes stay, as well as all of the dirty things from the outside that are on the shoes. And symbolically, your troubles from the outside world are not brought into the house either. It’s a major faux pas to wear your shoes in the house past this step and bring all that shit inside. Interesting contrast

I’m extremely consistent with my weightlifting program (1.5 years aww yeah!)

No doubt that… It’s been a long road

Looking back now there were some signs but boy that escalated quickly

Private equity/venture capitalists - they acquire unique brands and then extract all the value and enshitify them into the ground

Everyone said I was daft to build missile in Russia, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It blew up on the launchpad. So I built a second one. That blew up on the launchpad. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then blew up on the launchpad. But the fourth one stayed airborne! And that’s what you’re going to get lad, the stupidest named missile in all of Russia

Gotta go with wildly inappropriate Master Roshi from the original Dragon ball, dude was out of control, definitely a product of his time that wouldn’t fly today

I game on arch (btw) But honestly I don’t think the distro itself really matters for gaming? Just choose the one you want and give er

There would be no hassle in wiping the drive, you can do it as part of the super easy installation process for any Linux distro. Ideally you would back up any important files and drop them into your fancy new file system once the install is finished. And you can pretty much launch almost any game directly out of steam and it will run. There are a few exceptions for some of those games with anti cheats that rootkit your system, but the majority just work out of the box. Drivers included, but Nvidia might be ever so slightly annoying

No question here, just wanted to highlight that I use arch btw

That appears to be more than “Appears”

Wrestle the pig first, every day. Whatever is your worst, most unpleasant, annoying task for the entire day, do it before you do anything else. It minimizes your stress and worrying and puts it in the rearview mirror.
