*if you do what makes you happy, you are a hedonist with no moral compass
If you gain a bunch of body weight to get strong on the barbell lifts, you are just a fat powerlifter with useless strength, and a 125lb girl purple belt would kick your ass If you take drugs, you are cheating and are only jacked and strong from juice and peptides If you stay natty, you don't look like you lift when in real clothes and you should be embarrassed If you are a marathon runner, sprinters have better more aesthetic bodies than you If you are a hybrid athlete, you aren't very fast and aren't very strong Just remember, you can't win no matter what you do on the internet. So just do what makes you happy

People love a redemption story because they see themselves in it. “If he can do it, so can I!” People hate a has-been story because they see themselves in it. “If he can lose it all, so can I!”
Nobody respects the guy who used to be in shape. No one cares that you used to bench 315 in high school. They respect the man who still gets under the bar on a Tuesday after a 10 hour day and 5 hours of sleep.

But my butter doesn’t have a mouth. How does it eat the grass. Please clarify
i understand that not everybody has attained my level of education (and there’s nothing wrong with that, we all have different backgrounds and life paths), but for those unfamiliar with the term “grass fed butter,” it is just a shorter way of saying “butter made from the milk of cows that were grass fed.” the term “grass fed butter” is a commonly used term which is even often on the packaging of such butters, and most, but not all, people generally understand the term the first time they hear or read it without an explanation. but for those who are confused as to how butter eats grass, you have been enlightened!

This is how double or nothing works. I don’t even know how it could be interpreted differently. What’s the debate?
No fucking way people don’t understand what “double or nothing” means… Did you not have a childhood? Genuinely how is this possible? I’m seeing people argue like there’s nuance to this… There’s only one definition of double or nothing: You and X play a game for $100 You win $100 X says double or nothing You can either say no pay me my $100 Or say yeah and play another game The result of this game determines wether or not you get DOUBLE the original bet or you get NOTHING because X won People are confused and saying it’s not fair? How??? It’s an opportunity for the winner to roll his win into double It’s also an opportunity for the loser to get his money back It’s risky for both people If the original winner wins again, they get double If the original loser wins they’re both back to even Please stop debating and having discourse around this because it makes you look dumb I’m trying to look out for you trust me this is the only correct answer

I remember way back when some finance bro with a Brad Pitt pfp & anon lifemathmoney were exposed. Hilarious
Anon accounts like this attract people because of the mystique of their anonymity. Then you see these guys in real life and their name is Jim, they have no significant muscle mass, and are giant dorks.

I stopped asking "is this exercise optimal" a long time ago. I ask "does this solve the specific thing that's actually limiting this person?" An exercise that's optimal on paper and wrong for the problem in front of me doesn't make the cut in my programs.

Ever since I broke my leg in a freak gasoline fight accident I’ve had to modify what workouts look like. Been dickin around with the mace and nail bending again until I can make a reasonable attempt at normal workouts again.
How are you planning on moving your body today? Easy strength and recovery day for me with my 15lb steel mace 😎

I like to do the wrong homonym joke, where they use the correct homonym in the original post but I correct with *their, *they’re, or *there to make incorrect usage. Underrated & funny, if only to myself
OK, this "comment" has been made on this joke a few times. It must be addressed. The joke is a homophonic pun. Homophones are words that sound the same but don't mean the same thing or has a different spelling. When the joke is spoken, this distinction isn't required. But when written, I have to write either: "They're negroes" or "Their knee grows." And I can't write "They're knee grows" or "Their knee grows" because *that* is incorrect as written. I could have just as easily wrote "They're negroes," but that felt less funny.

Pretty cool I got presented with my badge on 9-11 three years back. I got my first line of duty injury on 9-11 today smdh. Broke my ankle in a structure fire but it’s all good. The team took great care of me. Sucks but I’ll recover and get back to it.
