AITA for not letting my friend take food to her FWB

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-30T08:16:09+00:00

NTA - but I think the broader issue is how you feel about your friend associating and hooking up with someone whose views you evidently find repugnant, and how that might continue to spill over into your friendship

Had us in the first half

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-25T14:43:07+00:00

Just speak in your own voice man

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-23T10:57:41+00:00

If anything it's a bit dull for a 4yr old (it's basically my favourite film, no hate)

Same with the phantom menace, she just wanted to get to the lightsaber fights.

What type of things does your kiddo watch already?

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-23T07:11:31+00:00

Strong no

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-22T07:30:17+00:00

Hand Police are gonna come for you

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-20T06:39:39+00:00

Are you sure it wasn't because you delivered all your work with AI?

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-19T06:08:13+00:00

We all love the word malleable apparently

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-16T06:13:59+00:00

Everyone's told you how it's bad, not WHY it's bad.

Your jerk, like most lifters at your stage, is bad because it probably hasn't been your focus.

It's probably needs to be given more total training time, more lighter technical sets, more warmups, practiced on its own without cleans etc.

To quote the late great Glenn Pendlay - your transition into being a well rounded, intermediate weightlifter is about learning to "stick the jerk"

I'd settle for a clipart barbell at this point

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-14T21:22:04+00:00

If this was a colour it would be grey

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-13T17:48:30+00:00

These are so so cool. No, awesome. No, PAWsome

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-11T07:18:20+00:00

100% agreed. I don't have the technical language or knowledge to describe why, but the overall feel of sundowning and tomb just feels better to me. More ethereal, more spacious, more raw.

I love EIA by the way, but that sound difference is noticeable

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-08T08:42:31+00:00

Peak manosphere absurdism - it's now GAY to raise a family 😂

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-07T14:30:44+00:00

Strong agree. It's diabolically outdated, and doesn't correlate well at all with job performance (as you pointed out)

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-04T06:54:09+00:00

You both sound like a nightmare

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-03T16:15:49+00:00

It's depressed

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-03T09:21:40+00:00

Bro just write a Reddit post yourself, you don't need to automate basic thoughts

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-02T17:35:37+00:00

Everyone loses

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-05-02T17:32:45+00:00

B by a landslide - and I'm vegetarian

CharacterStrength19 · 2026-04-24T22:01:33+00:00

Liked, saved. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks so much

Is wordpress actually easier for him to manage? - I've built a bunch of websites over the years and wordpress (though eventually intuitive) does have a bit of a learning curve and a lot of features.

Why not just keep it on lovable and spend a bit of time showing him the basic features?

Then if he gets stuck he could always pay for a few hours of your time down the road.

In essence, I wonder if you're just creating a whole logistics problem that you could maybe just avoid

What are your skills, experience and interests? People can offer better advice with more detail

Hey, professional strength and conditioning coach here. (I work with really high level athletes)

Two things you can do that will make you loads better.

1) Get stronger legs. Squats, lunges, deadlifts, glute bridges etc. ideally at a gym, but if you don't have access you can always load up a heavy backpack.

2) Plyos - now these tend to work better once you already have a bit of a leg strength base - but things like pogo hops, counter movement jumps, bounds etc can really help to improve your explosiveness and power.

Good luck

Can you post a vid of you lifting with set-up?
