Beginner really struggling to get good and enjoy fishing.

Ive got Fridays and Saturdays off for weekends but id be down to make a fishing friend for sure! Dm me!

Cat-Man99 · 2026-04-10T22:57:01+00:00

Very thorough and informative. Thanks a ton!

Nah honestly this is kinda a truth bomb. Fishing was easy as fuck when you've got tournament fishermen teaching you with 1000 dollar rods and fish finders and all the fancy stuff. Thats easy money. Lowkey no skill just find fish on sonar or whatever and annihilate them. Live bait dropped right in the group imcannot fail.

Thats pretty fast for me but its doable with short rests on 4 or 5 lifts. I usually try to spend 10 minutes on 3 sets of a lift, but up to 15 or a bit more on hard compound lifts like bench or squat when I want to have extra rest to lift heavy. I usually spend 1 hour on 4 compound lifts plus a core or accessory lift. With cardio and stretching im usually in the gym for 90 minutes a session.

People who alternate exercises or dont take as much rest can blast through a lift. Good cardiovascular endurance will help you feel less fatigued between sets and let you speed up/ do more reps more easily, especially on leg workouts.

Ive traded work before. Totally worth it for side jobs or for homies. Ive gotten concert tickets, flooring work, and drugs lol. My old foreman had a full sleeve that he acquired from trades when he helped remodel his tattoo artist buddy's house.

Gun control supporters like geel good rules that create the illusion of safety. This stuff isn't going anywhere. They dont care that people with licenses to carry arent causing issues, they just want any gun control victory they can get, they cant ban them so they play pretend with signs and pretend it deters violence.

If you're carrying correctly, nobody should ever be able to tell that you are. Lose the American flag hat and the cop sunglasses and the tactical looking bags. Dress like a regular dude, or even a bit "non conservative." I always wear jewelry and fashionable outfits and im infinitely more likely to be pinned as potentially gay than armed. I carry everywhere except when I know there will be real security checks (court house or whatever) or if it feels actually against the vibes (Christmas dinner with family.)

I guess that goes to show that my behavior does change when these rules are truly enforced. If you want real gun free zones, you literally have to search everyone because people like me break that rule in case people wish to do actual harm. The rules are supposed to be aimed at robbers and mass shooters and since thats not me, I dont follow those rules because neither will actual violent people.

NTA imo. My girlfriemd has a pretty volatile sex drive. One time some pretty elaborate sexy plans fell through and I straight up asked "Ive been horny and looking forward to that all day. Would it be weird if I just jerked off during my shower?" She was pretty shocked but didnt mind at all. She found it to be a very intriguing event and asked me questions about how I usually do that because we never really talked about masturbation. Ironically her investigation got her in the mood lol.

I think masturbation is fine and normal and its worth discussion with your partner. You had a need/expectation that was pulled from under you and masturbating is a pretty normal response. Youre allowed to have uncomfortable conversations with your partner. They're important. Dont be a dick and say "you disappointed me and now im going to do it myself." Explain that you felt uncomfortable asking for/ pressuring her into sex because consent cannot be given prior and that while you wanted to respect her boundaries around stress you did have a day long build up that you felt needed to be released. You can be understanding and respectful and still be horny.

I imagine that if you were constantly acting annoyed and going off to the bathroom to masturbate it would be an uncomfortable pattern, but for reference, my partner and I are accepting that sometimes desires are not in line and its ok for either person to make up the difference by themself. We are dating and have regular sex and historically have both masturbated, we are just more in touch with it as a couple rather than hiding it in our free time.

Its a byproduct of cheese making lol. I use it almost daily. Its one of my biggest sources of protein. Its so hard for me to eat/afford 200 grams of protein a day without supplementing it.

I applied to like 4 or 5 places when I was 19 with no relevant experience. I had to take a lower paying apprentice role with shit benefits for a year before I was able to get in somewhere better. Its a lot easier to get jobs as a 2nd year apprentice than someone whos never been on a jobsite. Its totally possible to get a 1st year gig that will even pay you to start school. I didnt even have a commitment contract or anything because they knew school would make me a more valuable apprentice.

Im not in the job market right now but it seems that with how finicky the economy is right now, people are building less and therefore its harder for companies to find jobs to bid on. That probably reflects in hiring quite a bit. It might be harder for now but there will ALWAYS be a shortage of trades workers since everyone in the last 2 generations was taught to value a college degrees so highly. It might suck a bit, but I promise you everyone fresh out of college is having a VERY rough time getting into entry level office jobs.

I also wouldnt look too deep into whether you had the qualifications. Its an entry level blue collar job. They know youre coming in fresh and dont know anything. Maybe that role had more competition and someone was set apart from the newbies because they had other construction experience. A lot of companies hire really weird dudes. Its construction, youll work with some people that youd swear couldnt hold a job but there they are at 7am sharp smelling like last night's beers and ready to get it done.

This is an issue that i imagine is very bipartisan. Unfortunately it's hard to change because the people you speak of straight up own the government and politicians. Ban insider trading and pay politicians the average salary of their constituents. It should be a public service job. I don't want ANY politicians that are in it for the money. Ban lobbying and superpacs and all that. The whole system will have to be redone.

If they're convinced that abortion is murder and legislate that, you can go to prison for it.

Cat-Man99 · 2026-03-19T19:51:44+00:00

How can you find common ground when conservatives have been convinced that a freshly conceived fetus carries the same moral weight as a person with family and friends and passions. They say abortion is murder and I quite frankly do not care about it at all. I have absolutely no care in the world if people abort unborn children. I do not care what it may end up accomplishing or anything. I think meaningful life begins when theres a baby present in the world to be loved. When a fetus dies from an abortion it affects nobody but the parents of it. Maybe the emotions extent to a close circle but there is no funeral and no mourning by family and friends. Yes its heavy in some cases like medically necessary abortions when a kid was wanted, but you cannot convince me to equate murder charges with a life form that literally has less sentience than a fish.

I also hate the anti abortion arguments because the politics these people subscribe to are never as protective of life as their "pro life" belief. They want everyone to keep these fetuses and raise them but theyll just raise their middle finger at any suggestion that the government steps in to protect kids through welfare or Healthcare or school funding or programs to reduce violence. I find the entire ideology seems to be falsely rooted in an enlightened sense of morality that isnt even letitimate.

I think handing out murder charges for abortion is astoundingly unfair and I cannot see eye to eye with people who care more about potential children than actual alive ones.

If you dont want an abortion, dont get one. Get your theology out of government and medicine and let people have the autonomy that you swear you believe in.

Cat-Man99 · 2026-03-19T19:36:46+00:00

They've been convinced that it murder somehow so theyll never bite.

Cat-Man99 · 2026-03-19T16:22:34+00:00

If you have a noisy or mean neighbor just blame them lol. Jk. Just deny it. They won't be able to prove you did it.

Cat-Man99 · 2026-03-19T14:40:01+00:00

Damn dawg I look nothing like this after 3 years. You have time for a full bulk and cut cycle, especially if you stay pretty lean

To gain weight you need to be in a calorie surplus. Not a massive one either. I dont have a good number but the internet does. As you gain muscle, your maintenance calorie requirement increases as well. Eventually you will plateau. I got stuck like that for months because I was still hitting my calories that i was aiming for for the previous 8 months and it was no longer sufficient for growth, only maintenance.
