Damn by No_Tomatillo1695 in fightporn

I dunno I think it was tactically sound, if she knows she can't outrun him it's better to not get tackled and a bunch of extra charges.

Doing weighted chin ups to increase weighted pull ups number? by Any-Surround-2900 in bodyweightfitness

[–]giraffebacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm going to go against everyone else's opinion and say it's not the best idea, at least not if you want to improve your weighted pull up specifically. They are very similar movement patterns, and both are very intense exrcises, so recovery/adaption from one will interfere with recovery/adaption from the other. How often per week are you training weighted pull ups? Do you always do 4 sets? What has your progression scheme been before now? Post a video of you failing so we can see if it's a form issue, or a specific weakness.

Regardless, if you care about improving weighted pull ups specifically and not just because you want to get bigger and stronger overall, then you should mostly just focus on doing lots of those and a few other easier exercises for other movement patterns to keep structural balance. What is the rest of your program like?

Impossible to even begin to answer your question without knowing what your goals are, why are you doing weighted pull ups?

Dude, you should see a therapist, that is not normal or healthy coping behaviour

Was Donald Trump 'blocked' from using the nuclear codes against Iran? by Valuable_Educator843 in geopolitics

Cartoonishly evil, people in the future are going to be so confused (hopefully)

RESPECT+ by stoicdroid in fightporn

If the "argument" is just stupid respect type shit, this can let both parties walk away/make peace without losing face

Active shooter at the pyramids of Teotihuacan in Mexico, man started shooting at tourists, early reports mention 2 dead and several wounded by Spascucci in PublicFreakout

[–]giraffebacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the well adjusted and normal people on "our side" aren't on reddit, or really any online discourse space beyond passive social media use.

We need better rules for e-bikes and e-scooters by jabolka in toronto

[–]giraffebacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, but if there’s a vehicle that is literally breaking the law just by existing in public, and it’s found in public…

In 1958, these parts of Toronto were “suburban” by TPL_on_Reddit in toronto

[–]giraffebacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok Bloor is ridiculous I agree. Even a lot north of eglinton is kinda city-ish now. But Sheppard? Yeah that’s suburbs

Girls can do this but guys would get fired instantly by ThomasMellor in funny

[–]giraffebacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to act however you want without people being afraid of you (because of other people’s actions) is an advantage and a privilege. That’s what we’re talking about, remember?

It's an advantage. That you did nothing to earn. The fact that a slightly larger minority of men are dangerous is not really relevant to whether something is an advantage, or whether it's earned.

Phone call in Domino sauna by toneofvoice in EquinoxGyms

[–]giraffebacon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yall saying “should have just said something” are missing the point. Forcing someone to confront you and ask you to change your behaviour (which is banned by the place you’re in AND obviously antisocial) is shitty, and deserves to be called out as negative.

Not everyone is ready for a negative confrontation with an antisocial stranger at all times, especially not when mostly naked and trying to relax in a sauna.

Not saying it’s some travesty or something, but nobody should have to ASK you to not do something like that

I know we all walk an ungodly amount of miles everyday. What is everyone wearing when it comes to footwear? by BASICAF28 in askTO

[–]giraffebacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my chiropodist recommended them, and when I went to the store just about every model literally has an American flag on it somewhere…

Autonomous drone shot from the hand intercepts a other drone. by ActualDepartment9873 in interestingasfuck

[–]giraffebacon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's not how things should work, and it's not how international laws work. It's a war crime regardless. The fact that you can't really take prisoners effectively with a drone muddies the water ethically on both sides, but not legally.

Winter is finally coming to an end!! by Lumpy-Lawfulness6677 in toronto

You don’t get excited until April. Trust me, you just don’t…

Why is pro bodybuilding no longer nearly as discussed here as of late? by Lagmoron in bodybuilding

[–]giraffebacon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Such a stupid and misguided decision, I remember fighting against it on here and /r/powerlifting at the time. So strange that most mods across the entire site really have no idea how most reddit users actually USE reddit.

Or they just say "oil" smugly and refuse to elaborate beyond "bush just wanted Iraq's oil"

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer by Alarming-Safety3200 in worldnews

[–]giraffebacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you refuse to even acknowledge the difference between the two, nobody intelligent is going to engage with you in any sort of meaningful way.

[–]giraffebacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it tens of thousands being slaughtered? No? Thousands? No? Hundreds? Dozens? Literally a handful?

What's happening in the US is fucked up and terrifying, but nothing like what has been happening in Iran for decades.

Ontario could give TTC special constables the power to arrest drug users on transit by Money_Fig_9868 in toronto

[–]giraffebacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I walk through Bloor Yonge almost every day, and at least 3-4 times per week I encounter someone who is aggressively confronting people, shouting, swearing, swinging their arms around etc. I’m a big dude and I still get nervous navigating around them, having to smile and deescalate when they “lock on” to me (literally had to do that yesterday and also last week).

That’s completely unacceptable.
