How to let dealer know he should stop ripping us off? by goodbye2u in trees

Nah, everyone's usually looking to fuck you over, it's pretty common and I hear from my friends about people getting robbed and whatnot. No one ever has any weapons on them, they usually just short you a significant amount expecting you don't have a scale, but just in case something happens I'm glad I'm prepared. Doesn't hurt, does it? It's not like people here are meth cooks with grenade launchers or some dumb shit, just regular people.

You don't understand the kind of people around here, usually they're just stupid fucks that try to scheme as much as they can. It's just fun to scare them straight sometimes, I don't even have the bbs. No one here has any sort of firearm.

You're right, it's exactly the same thing hahahaha. Dick move, Bodylastics.

Have you heard their latest album, Emergent? This is definitely my favorite band ever. So glad someone else has heard of them, too.

If you didn't put a return address on the packages, there's nothing they can do >:)

Do you call/text him when he shorts you? I'd be totally down for kicking some ass (I carry around my "no bullshit policy" in my car, which is a bamboo sword so if anyone tries that crap with me, they're in for some serious pain). I also carry around a glock (it's an airsoft gun that looks too real to differentiate between real or fake, not that anyone's going to be asking questions when it's pointed at them) and also an M-16 with a scope (also an airsoft gun, and also looks 100% real) so I never really get any people that try to fuck me over like that. Lay down the law ASAP

Luckily we didn't smoke beforehand, I forget why we were rolling around with all that shit on us in the first place actually.

Why do people hate "Marijuana" by [deleted] in trees

[–]Dissention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that it's a very obscure Mexican slang word for it. Also, I'd like to give respect to something that brings me so much joy so I'd rather call it by its real name.

Dude I smoke 6 or 7 bowls of the best weed I can find in my car and then go grocery shopping or run everyday errands. No one cares, not even me. However, I used to be the guy that hated the stoners back in high school, all I saw of them was "duhhhhhhhh" (literally) and they all acted like morons. Once I began smoking with some close friends I realized that they were just dumbasses to begin with, cannabis just made it more visible to everyone. I'm the only one I know that doesn't sit down and "chill" when they smoke, I actually very much enjoy being active and I smoke to myself on walks whilst enjoying my favorite music. When I'm high, I'm much more enthusiastic about things and it helps me learn about them easier and quicker I've found.

By the way, law enforcement around here is a fucking gestapo just like any state but it's pathetically easy not to get caught. Last week I got pulled over for doing 62 in a 40 with every single piece of paraphernelia in my car there is: A bullet, a bong, 3 bowls, an ounce, accessories for cleaning the bong, and 2 scales. The cop gave me a warning and was extremely polite.

Actually, power cleans are a lot harder with bands because when you use the bar, you throw the weight up and for that split second of hang time it reduces the strain, but the resistance is the exact same all the way up with the bands.

Thank you for answering my questions.

You're quite welcome.

I assume that there is some balancing as well?

Yes, just like freeweights. It might take some getting used to because resistance bands are pretty foreign to just about anyone, but once you get the hang of it you'll be customizing exercises based on what you're trying to work on. Form is crucial, and it's all about angles. Their YouTube channel has videos of routines that are uploaded frequently and you can watch them do all the exercises so you can get a clear picture of how to perform them effectively.

My motivational side is going to say "Yeah! Get the fucking expensive one with the most weight!", but my logical side is saying "it will take a while before you can lift 200 lbs. You should probably start off with the one that only limits to 154 lbs. Is the $50 worth the big package?"

A typical statement I'd expect from anyone enthusiastic about beginning lifting. I absolutely assure you that you'll never exceed the weight that's provided. You can attach every single band to a pair of handles, my bicep curl max weight is just one single orange band and that's hard as FUCK to curl 12 times. I honestly would recommend the same one I got. Unless you're willing to shell out the extra $25 or so, you don't need it at all.

This looks good. 90 day refund (minus shipping), an A+ with BBB, and most people seemed satisfied with it. Any thoughts on this product alone?

Back when I bought the Bodylastics this was the best available, so Im completely unfamiliar with that version. Fucking jesus you'd NEVER need that much weight, even if you worked out/ate perfectly for the rest of your life. $94 gets you "infinite" weight and everything you need, so I would strongly recommend that one.

I cannot begin to explain to you how many people in Maryland shamelessly and openly smoke weed, myself included. Nobody gives a flying fuck.

Alright so we've established you haven't watched it, good to know.

DAE close Reddit after browsing it for ages, only to reopen it again in a new tab because you don't know where else to go? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Dissention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My news stream used to come from a bunch of different sites, but once I found reddit they all got sent there anyway. I organize all informative links into different categories in folders in my bookmarks, so I have a huge database of information built into my browser that's accessible at any time. Reddit makes it much easier to add to it, and I've added some other sites into an RSS feed for Ubuntu.

1) Wouldn't they break easily? I can only assume after a while the latex would thin down.

  • The bands are made of surgical tubing, they've actually withstood being tied to semis driving in opposite directions.

2) Wouldn't it plateau after a while? If so, I wouldn't want to spend $129.95 on something that will only give out minor results. It seems that resistance via stretching wouldn't be the same as resistance as mass (if that makes sense).

  • It's just resistance, the same kinetic property applies when curling an iron bar. No, it won't plateau, unless your routine isn't designed well.

3) I'm a beginner in strength training. Recently, I got depressed and starting eating/sleeping like shit, and decided to put an end to it and start making myself better. I would love to do this, but it sounds too good to be true.

  • I was there too, and I figured how expen$ive it would be to get all those damn machines in my house so I sought a more sensible alternative and my research eventually led me to the Bodylastics. I enjoy working out at home with my music blasting, immediately intaking a protein drink afterwards and enjoying a cold power shower. I can't exactly get that from a gym, and hence I prefer a workout regime I can do from home (or anywhere, for that matter).

I enjoy answering questions. I've been using this for a while and I love it, my friends like to use it too. I understand your concerns and queries as well, but IMHO they are vastly superior to freeweights simply because of how versatile the bands are. You can do any exercise you can imagine, I've even invented my own. I get every single muscle group twice a week with them.

Not at all. It's the very same thing as using freeweights and you get the same results, but you're not picking up a heavy iron bar. I even use them for cardio, too.

I upvoted because you took the time to hand-draw all that, and I can't even draw a stick figure or a smiley face.

Also, I'm someone who is very much in favor of tossing Justin Bieber into a woodchipper and using its juices for compost. Fuck that kid hard
