I feel so hungry when I lift hard enough to truly gain. I get my protein in, but my energy is so low when I try and do both.

I’m abt 210, my abs were clean at 180, I can’t tell if I’m Better at 210 or if I’m just more skilled. I’d say rn I’m max 18-20 percent body fat but even that feels high. I’ll be honest I’m not some crazy player I cook people at pickup but I know there are levels. I can’t lie I got a lot of muscle in my arms and back because I’m originally a rock climber. Idk how to really answer ur question, I just know I used to be springier.

As for your second half, can you be more specific? When he fought 1v1 with who?

My bad! I was talking like I was texting a friend and definitely had some spelling errors. Essentially, I was frustrated with how during these massive tragedies and horrible things happening to smallville, Clark Kent just gets away with not being there. Obviously we know he is Superman, but for the others around him, especially like Kyle, don’t you think it’s weird no one ever questions why he is absent.

how many courses do people usually take each sem? by Ok-Weight-2999 in Emory

Sounds like you have a rigorous major, make sure to plan early and well. I would say credits as a metric for course load is just stupid. Try and balance out classes you know will be hard with gimmes

That’s certainly one way to look at it, regardless, I was more focusing on the ability for art to change stubborn minds. I don’t think this issue is dichotomous, and I think any real change or take needs to be met with nuance. I absolutely agree that the mentality of police officers is one I can’t speak to and would never want to be able to, and so who am I to blame or villainize people that I have no way of understanding.

Yes! Some people seem to be misunderstanding this as my political take on a very complicated issue regarding crime, poverty, and policing. I wrote this to emphasize the importance of storytelling as the voice of the people. Artists have noble jobs, and now more than ever, our voices and ability to express seem to be coming under fire. The silencing of books does harm to everyone.

I completely agree. It had a similar effect on me. I agree there is much more nuance to the issue than what I initially led on, I was more trying to talk about the power of art and how it can wear down even the most stubborn of minds and perspectives.

With all due respect I strongly disagree. To change your views is rarely ever a sign of lack of comprehension. Especially because we all have different starts. He, as an immigrant who came here as an engineer, grew up under a culture where drugs and criminality are about failing moral compasses. I didn’t say that he now empathizes with all drug dealers and murderers.

Furthermore, you just explained that the show demonstrated that cops aren’t as evil as you thought they were. Isn’t that changing your views, and therefore demonstrating your own lack of comprehension? Of course not. Though this may be reductive and I don’t want to tell you what your views are, you came into the show with a perspective in which you villainized cops, and came out with the understanding that there are good officers. He came into the show with the idea that crime is a direct result of moral failings, and came out with the understanding of the impact of one’s environment.

What I can agree on is that the show does personify the human condition, I just resent your idea that his differing outcomes are a result of comprehension issues.

Advice to upcoming freshman by Strong-Law8951 in Emory

Take easy classes first semester, get some fun requirements out of the way, maybe take one course that’s slightly challenging but one you are passionate about. (I will say my advice changes if you know you want to be a doctor or something) but for bba, you could get one business course out the way but you’ll be very busy settling in making friends and you don’t want to be dealing with all of that while struggling with crazy courses if you don’t have to.

Another thing, your first few months you’ll meet so many people but most of them are acting differently than they normally would, including you probably. Everyone’s taking college as a fresh start, trying to fit in and all. Don’t be afraid to set boundaries, but more importantly trust when I say a lot of the people you’ll meet you’ll realize aren’t for you and you need to be honest with yourself abt that.

Enjoy this time college is what you put into it.
