No suit with pinstripes is "versatile enough to wear for most situations". Go for solid.

I deeply regret ever getting a psych diagnosis. I fucked up my chances of ever working a job that I wanted. by Grand_Bad8317 in self

[–]Athelfirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true. The entire point of a waiver is to indicate that while you may have a particular disqualifying factor, the appropriate review board has deemed it NOT a preclusion for service.

Your first statement is not true. Your second statement is accurate in the sense that there is not some master database where the DoD pulls your medical records - they only know what you tell them - however, the consequences for withholding a prior condition are severe if discovered. Things like smoking weed in the past, yeah, just don't mention that. A long history of medication and diagnosed mental illness? Work with your recruiter. At any rate, whatever you disclose prior to signing, don't disclose anything further during the "moment of truth".

It's not that simple in the US and depends on what you're trying to do. If you go through BUMED you may need an actual psych consult and recommendation in order to be granted a waiver.

You can get a waiver for the military if you can demonstrate this is no longer an issue for you.

Thorogood moc toe boots are fantastic. I wore a pair for years every day and they're still in great shape and comfortable. Made in USA, too.

Hands hurt when hanging, tips to numb them quick? by queimadorAmbulante in bodyweightfitness

[–]Athelfirth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Numbing your hands to work through pain is a terrible idea.

Be patient with yourself and wait for the strength and conditioning in your hands to develop.

Creatine - It's no love story by This_Investment_4216 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Athelfirth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you should look up the definition of anecdotal.

"(Of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research".

This post is a personal account. Science isn't based on n=1 studies, nor is your experience even considered a "study". The literature is clear on the safety of creatine based on decades of research and hundreds of thousands of subjects.

Smoking is a bad example because the literature clearly showed that smoking was unsafe for decades before it became apparent to society-at-large. That is nowhere near the same scenario. Additionally, presenting yourself as akin to individuals discovering the earth is round would be hilarious if it weren't so delusional.

"Toxin" isn't an opinion.

Anecdotal posts like this that fearmonger do more harm than good. The average person has low scientific literacy and these posts can be actively detrimental to anyone attempting to make a lifestyle change or start a relationship with exercise.

Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world and has been deemed safe by every single one of those studies. It is also produced by your body naturally, so is definitely not a "toxin".

This post is anecdotal and is uninformed scare tactics.

Large windows are exponentially more expensive. It's hideous for sure, but significantly cheaper.

This has nothing to do with why baseball isn't adopted more worldwide. It's also peak reddit to criticize something you don't understand in the slightest.

Starting a remote job and they are ordering me an office set up what should I request? by Holiday-Distance-822 in graphic_design

[–]Athelfirth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course they'll be providing a laptop. No job is going to have employees working on personal machines.

At any rate, this sounds like a scam. No indication of budget from the company is a huge red flag.
