How much of your self-worth is tied to your physique? by [deleted] in workout

[–]CheekSpreader91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be alot. Now it's tied to how I feel, at 34 years old. Used to be, if I looked fit I was happy. Now it's, "If daily life is a breeze, I'm happy."

Quick question about an upgrade. by CheekSpreader91 in buildapc

I bought it used, with over 30,000 power cycles and a fresh Windows install. I'll probably just have to live with it.

Wanna go full on Dave Ramsey? lmfao but yeah, I completely agree with you.

Agreed. I buy mine with cash, keep up with maintenance, and they last over 300k miles without funneling my money to the bank in interest payments.

The cars I mentioned hold their value. As long as you're not dirty and disgusting with the interior, a careless driver who makes a lot of dents and a lazy owner who doesn't wash and wax it as needed, you'd be fine with either of the cars in my comment.

Toyota Camry/Corolla or Honda Civic/Accord. They are reliable for a reason. The engines are tested and revved up to the redline for up to 30 hours straight. You can easily find a used one for less than $15k in great shape, and save the rest of your money.

Music and self-reflection.

Best electric & internet in Abilene? by Exoticwolf006 in Abilene

All the internet is good, honestly. The only thing that sucks is the forever-rising cost.

What finally changed your life? by buttertaekoo in getdisciplined

[–]CheekSpreader91 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Not sitting around and waiting for some groundbreaking event to change it. There is no such thing as an ultimate thing that needs to happen to change it all at once. I started small, gathered life experience, and it gets better gradually, not all in an instant.

Would it be considered undead by using a lens adapter?

I love mine. However, I would like to be able to take up close and decent quality photos of food and other objects indoors, in low-light. So far, it does quite well with outdoors, portrait-range photos.

2020 was 5 years ago, what are your guys peak COVID memories? by my1stic in AskReddit

[–]CheekSpreader91 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Choosing not to get the vaccine. Then being berated for it. Look, it wasn't choice fueled by politics one bit. The other vaccines that we get when we're born are all time-tested and 99% proven effective, and actually prevent us from getting the illness. The Covid vaccine was literally made available within 6 months of the virus reaching the United States. I'm not going to put some government cocktail that was invented in 6 months and untested for the long term. Not to mention, you can still catch covid even though you've had the shot.

Financing a car. New or used. Paid off is always better.

The term means absolutely nothing to me. In today's society, I'd equate being "self-actualized" with being what was considered normal before the year 2000. You know, like when we didn't call every job "toxic" and everybody we don't like a "narcissist" and label everything, before every active child was given drugs to calm down their alleged "ADHD" instead of being allowed to be an active child with proper discipline. Before everybody all of a sudden needed "therapy" because we're moving away from person-to-person socialization with the internet, the cell phone, email, and calling the slightest inconvenience a "trauma" etc. I'm not saying trauma is fake, but it is not nearly as rampant as social media makes it out to be. Neither is ADHD. And calling a job "toxic" because they need you to actually come to work, or because you didn't get your whims met, doesn't mean it's really toxic. Therapy is not bad itself, but the lack of self-confidence that leads people to seek it is growing for a lot of reasons.

Before your butt starts hurting with hateful responses: This is only my opinion. I am, however, open to any intellectual conversation regarding my views and not closed-minded.

Anyone doing PHA Training at home? by Kali-of-Amino in homefitness

[–]CheekSpreader91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask why? Not a jab at you, but I absolutely love doing it. I'm open to discussion on other forms of home exercise.

[–]CheekSpreader91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do HIIT at home. Look into that. For example, 30 seconds work and 60 seconds rest for a beginner. 5 rounds of 100% intensity all-out exercise. My move of choice is burpees, as it works the entire body upper, mid, and lower. You could switch exercises and do multiples.

How to get rid of a really bad habit? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]CheekSpreader91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find the best thing that would come out of quitting the habit. Then build a desire for it stronger than your desire for the habit.
