I've always said my primary talent/blessings is luck and the rest is secondary to it. I take away from this that the definitions I use for special and the metrics I use to measure it can be arbitrary. Not everything is a 100m dash or a UFC fight - or a competition to be the best, frankly. That's worth sparing a thought for

I guess I’m not being very helpful and just rambling because I have a different mindset. I’ve given up hope on my desire to be anything unique or special after entering college. I realized everyone else is smarter and better at whatever I wanted to do, so I no longer see a point in striving for any of that. I just strive to do something until it’s over.

I've made a lot of my philosophy by looking at people who are exceptional to me and seeing them look at their particular field of expertise. When they go "goddamn, I'm good, but I couldn't put in as much as THAT person." A preponderance of moments like that have highlighted to me the single path to mastery is that one track mindedness that keeps you in the "gym" eat, sleep, breathing the thing that you like. When I ask myself whether I want to live like that, I feel confident that I don't. I think too many things are cool to forsake them for greatness in a particular pursuit.

I disagree because, while it is an artform, you simply post.

It's muddled with nostalgia, but I can be convinced a game looks good enough in N64 graphics. It's possible for magic to happen when the processing power is restrained

The AAA style: open world, someone calling you to tell you to meet them at story quest marker. You can quick teleport right next to the marker. A bunch of markers for side quests. Crafting consumables and sometimes rare armor that needs 10 side quest tokens. The story quest is a gauntlet of killing a bunch of dudes before fighting a boss. Cutscene. New ability. Beat the game. Some kind of movement ability unlocked.

I was at planned parenthood yesterday, the epicenter of woke. There was a land acknowledgement, they were asking people their pronouns, and a transman as a receptionist. It wasn't obtrusive and you can basically ignore it if you want to. You tell them your pronouns once (alongside your address, signing papers, etc.), you consent to being touched, and then you sit down and browse your message board of choice on your phone. Even if you fucking hated leftists with every bone in your body and fear for the future that they want, you don't even have to care. You can simply shut the fuck up and get the thing you wanted.

I'm on an arc where I'm reigniting my latent rage for the (evangelical) right. These people have a screw loose.

So fucking dumb, just be strong anyway you ass

The caloric requirements to get you to being muscular would not have been an advantage for the OG primate in the jungle. So it's a fun perspective that, as far as what your body does anyway is concerned, you're benefitting from an infinite food glitch. Then you use what is essentially a romhack of nature to get transported to a room where you do do an infinite resistance glitch to each muscle group. That primate would look at you the same way you looked at Super Saiyan 8 fan art when you were little.

When I was younger I was into running. Eventually running bored me so I switched to weights. When weights didn't do it for me I got into BJJ. When I did BJJ for a few years I added muay thai. Then to keep it fresh I added mma and judo to the mix. As a result, I quite like exercise - all of it sometimes and I'd be up for anything that gets the blood pumping and the body moving. Hiking? Yoga? Rafting? Tennis? Whatever, I'm in.

All of this as a long winded way to say: why do you want muscles so much? If your motivation isn't that strong, maybe it's time to switch up and redefine what exercise means to you. Having a good relationship with exercise is really important for your mental health and quality of life. If you're not going to benefit spiritually or financially from big muscles, is it worth sacrificing that relationship?

10 minutes into this debate. This is insane. Holy shit. It's as bad as you all were saying. I feel like Trump's going easy on the man like he would feel bad roasting him with more energy.

Mr. President, greetings from Langley. Recently I've been assigned an AI partner, SpyGPT to help me monitor a druidic leftist website. It really like to hallucinate posts that people didn't really make. Now an estimated 60% of my job is using the site's search function to try and find the posts that it says exist and then confirming that they're not real. I want to stop using AI but the CIA says I have to. I suspect that it's because my boss hates me and wants to punish me.

My question to you is, if I vote for you, will you help me get with my work crush (they laugh at me for the assignment I've been put on)?
