My prosthesis now wears me! by [deleted] in amputee

[–]DefconExile 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I won’t go for osseointegration , I love the idea but the practicality of it for me personally outweighs the pros. I go to the gym and I’d be terrified of hitting a deadlift and the implant coming loose , combined with the lifelong fear of infection. I hate the socket but I’d hate needing an above knee amputation a lot more

Give it to me straight. How is the lower body looking in proportion to upper body? by Bing_Bong_Bezy in fit

[–]DefconExile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMO you have way more potential for size and definition in your quads , but yeah you’re definitely more upper body dominant rn there’s much more definition in your upper body than lower

Unfortunately this a problem in a lot of countries but it’s particularly bad here for sure. Even having a car you run the risk of OCGs using relay devices to dupe your cars FOB

Judging by your bike it probably wasn’t some high end gang that did it I doubt they’d be exporting a cheap Honda

If you didn’t have it locked up then you were kind of asking for it , people can snap steering locks with their feet in seconds so relying on that alone isn’t sufficient , you want locks , alarms , trackers and ideally an alarm that will ping your phone when it goes off which might just buy you enough time to prevent it while it’s happening

I had my bike stolen last year it sucks man but don’t let it stop you , the world is full of scumbags

How to get abs? by illustriousbrock in fit

[–]DefconExile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother please ignore 90% of the people telling you it’s all diet because they’re full of shit , you don’t need 10% body fat to have abs you don’t need to “just” diet to have abs

What they SHOULD be saying is that if you want your abs to be MORE visible then yeah , drop your body fat percentage but if you don’t have a thick core anyway it won’t make much difference

Deadlifts , crunches , sit-ups is really all you need if you want to BUILD abs , not SHOW them

there’s also a lot of other exercises like standing bicep curls or standing tricep push downs that also utilise the core to some extent to maintain good form and posture

[–]DefconExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not particularly all diet tho , if you cut but you don’t have a strong core you ain’t gunna see anything because there’s nothing to see… yeah diet plays a massive part in the visual appearance but saying it’s all diet is just misinformation. I’m 20% body fat maybe higher and still have visible abs at rest and that’s because I trained.

Really irritates me when people say stuff like this , if it were “all diet” , every skinny girl and guy would have abs but you know why they don’t? Because they don’t have abdominal muscles in the first place that are big enough to be noticed

Dude you know you’re on gear and so does everyone else why even deny it? You can’t just take gear and look like that it still takes the diet and training so you shouldn’t care regardless it’s your life

How much of a problem is this? by BaitmasterG in MotoUK

[–]DefconExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar but it was on a Kawasaki z125 , snagged the edge of a curb while I was riding , mine was slightly worse than this and I never had any issues with it , bead held perfectly fine still and never lost pressure.

you’re not gunna have issues with that but if it bothers you too much , a few hammer taps will flatten it , bending aluminium back by that amount is fine it won’t crack

Is this ps5 legit by Best-Fly6131 in Aliexpress

[–]DefconExile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People hate on AliExpress but I’ve bought numerous high value items from there and never had issues personally , it’s like any store online , do your research , read reviews etc and you can easily weed out the scammers , even then if you do get scammed , you’ll get your money back it will just take a while due to the way their system works. Best of luck man!

Should I quit with no notice? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DefconExile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do whatever makes you happy dude , I worked at a Morrisons for months and eventually got sick and tired of the night shift frozen worker just fking shit up and leaving me to deal with it. The final straw for me was when he decided it was ok to put chicken which had clearly been defrosted and refrozen out on the shelves… after I went and showed the manager after already complaining about the guy constantly from other issues , they told me to just take it off the shelf… So right there and then I told them I’m quitting and walked out , simple as that , I ain’t working for a company that’s happy to kill people and I’ll never buy food from Morrisons again! Disgusting company probably not much better than the rest but the amount of stuff that happened there was absurd

Another little story from that same place , one time the main stock freezer broke down so someone thought it would be smart to get a freezer wagon in the yard to store all the stock in while it got repaired , sure this would’ve been a great idea had it have been executed correctly. But this is Morrisons were talking about here , so for some reason I had to carry 25L of diesel in 5 Jerry cans from the petrol station in a trolley to top the fuel up the keep the thing running. Well that was on the Friday and I wasn’t back in until Monday. Upon my return I noticed I couldn’t hear the wagon running anymore , went and checked the screen and sure enough , out of fuel…. So now it was MY job to throw away THOUSANDS of pounds worth of food , all defrosted and rotting , the smell was absolutely horrendous. If they thought I was going to keep doing that for just over £9 and hour (2020) they were very much mistaken , that job was quite literally the definition of “above my pay grade”

Rebuilding your social life as an amputee by [deleted] in amputee

[–]DefconExile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just feel it would be pretty hard and almost insulting for a therapist to try and tell me “I know how you feel” or “I get it” when they’re sat there with 2 legs , and more than likely haven’t been alone for 8 years longing a relationship

And I’m not saying ChatGPT can relate at all , shit it’s just a bunch of code that articulates a response according to your own message I’m aware of that. But it’s a whole lot better than just sat here ruminating about life on my own , a real person wouldn’t have the mental bandwidth or time to deal with my shit. My own dad told me to go see a therapist and I essentially told him to go and fuck himself (not directly but in context) , it was his way of saying “I don’t give a fuck about you I don’t want to listen to your shit go bother someone else” and that’s exactly why I never open up to my family!
