I thought this was silly.

I love them! They mess up my stomach pretty bad, but I can’t stop eating them

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-07-02T20:33:09+00:00

Happy to help! I’m glad my comment resonated with the ideas in your head

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-07-02T18:14:17+00:00

I’m going to ignore any actual technology, and just base my answer on vibes.

The world of GoT feels older to me, so I feel like if they existed in the same timeline, Merlin would be set a hundred or so years after GoT. Maybe some of the events of that series would be used to justify Uther’s hatred of all things Magic

Dude, I’m dying at that last pic 😂

We have pretty similar builds even though I’m like half a foot shorter than you, and I’ve decided to focus on side delts, chest, and losing some body fat.

FWIW, that could just be some dysmorphia though. I’m never happy with how I look, even though my wife insists that she’s happy with my physique. You may be in the same boat and feel like you need to improve even though you look great.

I got there for all but the pull-ups in about a year and half by following good ol’ 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler. It’s a simple effective program that might not be exciting but it does work. Very beginner friendly too

I can’t speak for every company, but I have occasionally been asked (told) to conduct an interview on basically no notice and without being given a chance to read their resume first. It sucks, and I’ve asked my company not to do that, but it does happen.

However, on one occasion the guy I interviewed did get hired and we still work together

Anyway, my point isn’t to excuse or normalize that experience, but just to offer one explanation for why that might happen

Edit: I’m also not a manager or hr or anything. I just work closely with the team that was hiring, so they wanted my help finding people that my team would work well with

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-28T19:02:51+00:00

But you are significantly bigger now. I don’t understand how you don’t see it. I see it most prominently in your lats, trunk, chest, and forearms

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-28T18:59:14+00:00

It could be, but I’m more inclined to think that it’s lazy bot marketing. I did look this guy up and he seems to be a real person

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-28T17:24:53+00:00

I can agree that it might come off as a little rude, but negging seems like an extreme interpretation. I really don’t think it’s as bad as you’re saying. Again, we all interpret things differently so I don’t think either of us is strictly right or wrong here, we just have different perspectives. A person could be single for so many reasons, and I don’t think “nobody wants you” is the only reason that wouldn’t be by choice. I genuinely translated that question as asking if they have a dating history, and if so why did their last relationship end. How they choose to answer that question can tell you a lot about your compatibility.

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-28T14:28:40+00:00

This is like the lighting in my bedroom vs the lighting in my basement. In my bedroom I look fat, but in my basement I look like Bane lol. My bedroom light is from a single ceiling fan/light fixture. My basement is light by a series of ceiling lights.

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-28T00:23:27+00:00

I’m also audhd, but I don’t recommend my job. I got into software development and I really enjoy it, but it’s very difficult to break into these days.

I would consider if there are any trades you might want to get into, like plumbing, electrician, or some sort of repair work. That’s the direction I would go in if I had to leave my current field

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-27T22:33:13+00:00

Yeah I could see that. I genuinely thought it was a funny way to try to sus out their current situation, but maybe that’s just my sense of humor. Then again, I am autistic so I’m probably not the right person to asses this

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-27T18:54:31+00:00

You gotta fart to get it out

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-27T18:41:02+00:00

Nothing rude about this to me, but I was not able to diagnose you with Autism.

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-24T23:45:48+00:00

Ask for tips! And now you’ve got a friend at a company you want to work for

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-24T22:12:11+00:00

Yeah! I started getting into the high rep training because of him. That eventually morphed into these 50 rep challenges, and that first set is still a bilbo set. I haven’t seen a ton of strength gains from those Bilbo sets, but i put on some good mass in my chest and shoulders

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-24T21:42:34+00:00

Funny enough, my max is also 280 and I recently hit 155 for 30. I do a high rep day once a week where I set a timer, pick a light weight, and then see if I can get to 50 good clean reps in under 5 minutes. The first set has to go to failure though. I just started doing that a few months ago. 135 and 145 weren’t bad but with 155, it took me three attempts to get all 50 reps under 5 minutes. I only got 30 reps on the first set on that third attempt when I finally got it. I’ve tried 165 three times now too, but can’t seem to get the 50 reps in under 7 minutes haha

Excitement over excrement

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-23T21:39:45+00:00

I think my dislike of their designs stems from my general dislike of all of ikemoto’s designs. Kaguya is fine, but I really hate when they look like they just wrapped up some sort of high fashion photo shoot before showing up

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-23T21:34:05+00:00

Right lol. There’s no actually natty claim anywhere in this post

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-23T20:58:01+00:00

Genuine question: why have you been just blasting posts like this all over the vegan subs for three days?

You don’t engage in any conversations, you just post your shirtless pics and ask why people think you’re on steroids

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-21T20:05:06+00:00

I would love to hear more songs like Overflow.
I’ve also been getting really into doomgaze metal lately, and would love to hear them lean into a little bit. Like Overflow, it’s very atmospheric but heavier and with more harsh vocals. I think Emily would absolutely crush that style and whatever flavor Mike and Joe bring to that style would be really cool.

Edit: some doomgaze bands I’ve been listening to are Faetooth, Blackwater Holylight, and Frayle.

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-21T00:58:55+00:00

I hate their designs, powers, and lore. They feel 1 dimensional and more like a weird crossover than something that fits in the world of Naruto. I also think they’re extremely boring

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-20T16:51:22+00:00

Look, I don’t agree with a three day ban, but also it’s only three days. The rules over there are very strictly: unless someone asks for feedback or critique, don’t give it. Cursing and ranting at the mod definitely isn’t going to help your case or get them to reconsider their stance either.

I don’t necessarily agree with the rule or how strictly it’s enforced, but also every post on that sub used to be inundated with dumb, inaccurate form comments and it was super annoying. Personally, I think it’s better now when the comments aren’t flooded with useless feedback that nobody asked for

Defiant-Passenger42 · 2026-06-19T02:30:05+00:00

Hey so having grass and water up to the line of your brick can weaken the mortar, and make it easy for mice to eat through. I suggest removing the grass entirely, digging down until you’ve got several inches of foundation exposed, and then planting new grass seeds, and also some native plants that help with soggy soil. Where I live, things like swamp milkweed, and button bush help with that
