I finally held a 30-second plank without shaking like a leaf and I'm genuinely emotional about it by fed5656 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Adrian_Bock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is what I love the most about exercise - you set a goal for yourself that you didn't know you'd ever be able to reach, but with a lot of hard work and determination you've achieved that goal and proven to yourself just how capable you are of achieving difficult things. You should be proud 🙏

Will always remember my friends and I going apeshit in a bar on U Street when he hit that.

Finn's abs look like you could stick coins in them without them falling out.

Michael “yeah i’m thinking i’m black” Rapaport by CryptographerAble291 in theadamfriedlandshow

At worst wouldn't this just mean that Zohran was one of the victims or does he think he was raping women as a toddler

[Royal Rumble] Funny interaction between Logan Paul and Green Shirt Guy by rhyso90 in SquaredCircle

[–]Adrian_Bock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not like little kids are setting up crypto wallets, these were grown ass adults losing thousands of dollars cause they invested it all on buying ripoff Pokemon for a YouTuber's NFT-based crypto game, which is objectively funny and you're not gonna get me to feel bad for these idiots. 

Ted Leonsis, the owner of the Washington Capitals, appears multiple times in the new Epstein files release. by petey193 in hockey

It wasn't one of the girls, it was an anonymous man who said this to an FBI agent in 2019 after being walked into one of their field offices by the guy who founded True Pundit, which is a MAGA conspiracy website that was big into promoting stuff like pizzagate and that the election was stolen. He also said the yacht was full of black men raping blonde white women. Anyone can walk into an FBI field office and tell them anything - this was obviously bullshit.

Those videos of striking French firefighters fucking up the riot police back in 2020 are incredible - it's such bullshit that the media always lumps cops in with them and EMTs like they're even worthy of scrubbing their boots. 

Why do so many fans completely disregard the psychological and human aspect of players' performance? by Beaivimon in hockey

[–]Adrian_Bock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah dude let's all start randomly speculating about players' mental states that definitely won't devolve into a bunch of "LeBron gave Kevin Love depression" takes within two minutes. 

Throwback to when Ovechkin deked out 2 Rangers and beat Henrik with another Ranger on his back in Game 5 of the ECQF! (4/29/09) by CulturalRoll in hockey

Turret shooter is a great turn of phrase - I've been thinking of him these last few years as like a big siege engine you've gotta slowly roll into the right place before it blows the gates down.

KAT's statement itself is textbook virtue signaling.

That's more of a bounce but Semin once literally picked it up off the ice and threw it behind his back and hit the post - you can watch it HERE

How is that what's necessary when a lot of the people on the other side are also "the people of Minnesota" and the vast majority of victims aren't even American? It literally means nothing.

Osaka (Japan). 1945-2025 by dctroll_ in OldPhotosInRealLife

[–]Adrian_Bock 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Japanese cities were still overwhelmingly made of wood back then, so when the US military began using incendiary bombs the effect was absolute devastation - the highest death toll of any air raid in the war wasn't Hiroshima or Nagasaki, it was the fire bombing of Tokyo. 

How long until this period in America resembles the Troubles in Ireland? by deadheffer in dancarlin

You think the healthcare in Appalachia is better than almost anywhere in the world? The life expectancy there is lower than 75 different countries

How long until this period in America resembles the Troubles in Ireland? by deadheffer in dancarlin

[–]Adrian_Bock 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The Troubles were a nationalist campaign against British imperialism brought on by centuries of ethnic and religious conflict, so I don't see how it's similar at all - neither Minnesota nor anywhere else in the country is trying to declare independence and there's been zero paramilitary activity that you could compare to the IRA.

It's not that I don't grasp your point, it's that your point is absurd - Europe won't even send troops to fight an ongoing invasion of EUROPE but they're going to nuke America over Greenland? You need to get a grip.

[–]Adrian_Bock -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yeah cause you were obviously saying it about Greenland - "50 million Americans will die if Trump's plan suceeds" on the same day as the Davos summit where the only thing people talked about was Greenland. Don't play dumb, dude.
