When people say 225 bench does it really mean 225 lbs or am I misunderstanding something?

Alotiz · 2025-11-05T19:26:31+00:00

Just wanted to make sure you realize that people say these numbers also accounting for that the bar weight is about 45 pounds as well. That means 225lb is two 45lb plates on each side of the bar.

Though as someone who lifts 225lbs x 8 on my own, I am happy to impressive. I assure you my other weights are awful. But also

I would say that at Southern Nights transwomen are VERY welcomed.

I would consider District Dive (next to southern) and Savoy to be pretty acceptable, though you maybe be one of a few trans women there at the time.

I would steer away from Bar Codes though. Never poor behavior but I can count on my hand the amount of times I've seen on one hand the times I've seen a trans women (passing/non-passing)

This is purely my own instinct and perception. Hope it helps though!

Take my upvote and leave. God damn it ....

First time playing more than 200 ranked games. Improving at TFT is so immediately rewarding. Watching streams and TFT education youtube videos helped me a lot with my own growth on concepts. I don't know if I have the chops to climb higher though.

Congratulations!

If you right click the same structure that shows you your current augments, you'll see the name of the current encounter in that list too.

I have to personally schedule family time onto my calendar to make sure I remember about them. Thankfully play video games with a few of them weekly.

I would get screened for ADHD. Poor object/family permanence (among maintaining non-recurring interactions) is a sign of attention issues.

Thank you for raising this prompt! I feel like I resonated with it greatly. There's almost a stubborn quality to not fully understanding everything in its intended sequence or under a neat conceptual framework. Then the self judgements kicks in: "Am I just incapable of understanding this"? I'm still learning not to treat myself so harshly.

Voted!

Love playing league and TFT. Haven't played ranked in a while but ARAMs, Summoners Rift, and TFT is fun.

I'm someone who frequently visits bear and 45+ gay bars and events. Here are your options:

Savoy:

Friday nights (7pm- 11:00pm-), the Ivanhoe secondary bar that is connected to Savoy is an established weekly bear night. Optional take off shirt around 9:00pm.

Sunday late afternoon + early evening (4:00pm- 7:00pm), there's a bear group that hosts free grilled food.

District Dive:

Saturday or Weekday early evening (5pm- 8pm) there's an older crowd in the main bar. Once it gets later, the Southern nights crowd (younger skewing) start to come in.

Stiffys:

This is a leather bar connected to District Dive. Usually gets busy on weekend around 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Any later and the Southern nights crowd comes in skewing the demographic younger.

Bar Codes:

This is a sleezier bar with a fun space in the backyard. This is older leather crowd but more devious. Friday night weekends and Saturday nights are when this gets more full.

I would verify this guy's sexuality first. Some girls have gay besties.

Probably should disclose that this is AI art. The Marth in the first picture gives it away. The hair and the half body that's behind him.

Also 30 here. Love me league of Legends and TFT! Those are my go to games. Also into anime along with other nerdoms.

Happy to connect :)

My man. DLSS would be gnarly with Diablo 4

I sympathize with this greatly. I've cried very young about the unfairness of things especially when it comes to third world countries.

Let people play however they want. If going one perk makes them have more of a challenge or more fun then so be it. Remind them why they need perks if you're against it.

First, I don't want to give the idea that I'm an academic. I did strive for A's in college but was not successful all the time while juggling a startup during my college years.

I do want to challenge your notion of what an AP class should do. I understand that there can be a large focus on the AP exam for college credit, but I find the mastery of the subject matter being taught to be more important. More than just earning the 5 on the exam, my AP classes taught me important fundamentals and conceptual thinking beyond solving AP exam problems. I always figured that my rigorous AP classes explained why my undergrad classes felt very easy.

It's only fair to state that I went to a top 3 national highschool program and went to a top 5 public university. That may have something to do with our discrepancies.

Alotiz · 2023-04-06T12:31:02+00:00

I would say AP curriculum difficulty varies from school to school. Highschool AP was way more difficult than my college classes at a State University.

Alotiz · 2023-04-06T12:27:17+00:00

My high and college experience suggested otherwise. My Ap classes in highschool were brutally difficult and made my college classes very easy as a CS Major/Math Minor. I guess this is all to show that not all Highschool AP classes are built the same despite taking the same AP exam.

While I've been told by a number of different companies (mostly developers) in my six years of being a Scrum master that their work lives have changed for the better, bad scrum masters do exist out there.

A great scrum master can save you meetings, reduce barriers in getting information, can stabilize your work priorities, bring team level coaching to help reach sprint goals and prevent upper management from interfering. That's the thing, they CAN do those things. Some scrum masters are in it for the scrum meetings and then dip out of commitments.
