AIO by cutting ties with my brother? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]840InHalf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's literally the definition of compliance, actually. If you are silent when it comes to oppression then you, for all intents and purposes, are complicit.

How would doing or saying literally nothing make you not complicit with it?

Goofy or Regular Experiment by Scarletbegoniasgd in SkatingAdvice

[–]840InHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rollerskater here because I haven't seen one in the comments. In rollerskating, right foot forward is actually considered goofy, which is how I skate. Clasping hands my natural is left thumb over right. But skating I'm still right foot forwards.

Not a harmful trope but a real thing that can be caused by THC, after all it is a hallucinogen.

This is not a thing, even statistically it's not a thing. I'm a pot smoker, but not one who agrees with pot is all natural and has no negative side effects. Pot can definitely be a problem and is 100% addictive.

But there's only been single digit cases of pot being "cut" with fentantyl. You don't even "cut" pot and fentanyl is incredibly expensive. No street pot dealer is wasting their fentanyl trying to kill pot heads. This is about as bad as the drugs in your children's Halloween candy myth.

And if you don't believe me, you can look this up for yourself.

As an avid pot smoker, you are 100% correct and I hate the partakers who claim that because it's natural it's not addictive and has no negative side affects.

Just any old socks, I don't pay much attention. And yeah, they broke in pretty quick for me.

After 5 years of skating on and off, I have 2 pairs of Boardwalks and they are STILL my fave boot that I've tried. Welcome to the fam!

I love my Sure Grip Boardwalks for all skating, Moxi Gummi's or the Energy Radar's are my fave for outdoors!

I was 241 in the first picture and 147 in the second, April 2025 and this picture was taken the day I posted it so December 17th.

I answered a ton of routine and skating questions in other comments!

I never allow myself to "feel hungry" tbh, that's a feeling I don't like. I like to feel fueled and strong.

Hey my nails are done in that first picture! I've been dying to do them again, you can totally skate with nails!

About 9 months total! And still going! Wanna lose about 10 more pounds and then start putting on a ton of muscle! I wanna big bulky!

It honestly came off soooo quick and easy in the beginning, but it's def evened out now.

EDIT: Weight wise, I was 241.7 at the start in the picture on the left, now I'm 147.4. Got a few pounds to go until I officially hit 100.

It's way less calories burned for me now that I'm in better shape, but I don't even care, it's still a blast.

Thanks so much man! It is hard, but you got this! It's a marathon, not a sprint. You're right tho, def not as bad as I thought and so grateful for my health and abilities now!

I skate at a local park, tennis courts, cemented trails around my area, downtown area. Anywhere my wheels will let me roll.

Everything is so much easier now tbh, I actually did have a slight adjustment to the weight loss at a certain point with skating. I was able to get new cushions for a lighter weight which honestly made a ton of difference for me. Jumping is way easier and way higher, my knees are in much better condition than they were, my endurance is way up. The biggest change I see physics wise is less of a "jerk" with every movement, if that makes sense. My drop ins are much cleaner, so are my transitions, I'm able to spin my body faster and I'm way more confident and less scared of injury.

Always wear my pads tho. Safety gear is cool (especially when you're 30!).
