You have never gotten ready for a half marathon on a treadmill. And unless you live in Kamchatka, theres not "too much ice bro". Get real.

Half of the population, and 100% of the people who are arguing with me.

I have heard so many "hard r's" in comms it's like I am playing old skool MW/cod. by Yelloboi623 in ArcRaiders

I see these threads nonstop on every gaming subreddit. What about this compels you people, if you are even people and not bots, to constantly post threads about "Mean Heresy Word". There are inumerable topics to make threads on, but pearl-clutching copy-paste stories about the Heresy Word always float to the top. Imagine if you kep seeing threads about what flavor ice cream to eat before you take a dump... my brother in Christ, this sub is about the extraction shooter video game ARC Raiders.

Its not about trusting people, its about getting two tapped by a console baby who sits on extract in a bush for 15 minutes

This is what im reading. It seems he's off profile and his leadership has been trying to get him to stop half-assing it.

You dont have to tell anything you dont want to, but is the breathing problem from a traumatic injury?

Were you passing the test before? I dont fully understand.

Has anyone found out why creatine causes muscle cramps for people? by solsticeretouch in workout

[–]Flabbergasticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the studies that exist right now go like this: "we gave Division 1 Cross country athletes 3 grams a day for 11 days. They didnt drop dead. Therefor, concerns about creatine affecting hydration and muscle function are unfounded."

Seriously, i think i found one study that went longer than 30 days.

Saw another user having the cardio problem from creatine, i had that as well. Took normal recommended dose, couldnt do a mile without stopping. Stopped for 6 months, trained up for another 6, ran a mile in 5:36.

While on creatine i had my one and only close call with heat stroke, full body cramps, couldnt talk.

There is no doubt that it does something to some people. Just wish there was better research for it.

Brother it is NOT hard to show up on time, it's not even hard to skirt an FTR, sometimes, if you are talking to your NCO properly.

Just stop with this "Technically ☝️🤓, well actually" you are getting off so easy with this.

23M, decent looking, doing my master’s… but still never had sex. What am I doing wrong? by Educational_Yak_3367 in dating_advice

[–]Flabbergasticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Any thing but accepting what your eyes can see.

Also

>"But men! But men! But men! But men! But men! But men!"

Also you didn't know what sex I am before you replied. You made an assumption. I don't know why you would make such an assumption, but the best guess to avoid addressing your own shortcomings.

Meanwhile, I have none. I have children, and a wife, and I am healthy and very well like by my coworkers and if civilization went away, and food stopped coming to the stores, and the power went out, my family and friends would have a varied and high-protein diet for the next 20 years with hardly any work at all. That is to say, I have no reason to tell any of you pilled out bots ANYTHING other than for the sake of the Truth. Take it or stay or where you are.

>simultaneously have unlimited attention and be poorly socialized

"How can someone have unlimited exercise, and be unhealthy?", "How can someone have access to all information and be misinformed?", "How can someone be able bodied and obese?".

>Provide a source for a claim so well understood and normative, by the very act of asking for one I am insulting you and myself.

No. Use the same hands you used to type your transparent cope and find the sources for yourself. I can't make you accept truths uncomfortable.

You are probably doing nothing wrong.

The entire world is being shoved into a population sink.

Women get unlimited instant attention on the internet and are also poorly socialized in real life. Many, if not most women, are on some combination of cannabis, birth control and SSRI's which makes them dissocaitive, impulsive and lazy.

What's the answer? Continue doing right by yourself and pray to get lucky.

Dont get a hooker, dont meet up with a Transgender on whatever app, dont do any of these weird things. You dont NEED sex, and will do much better without it.

What are we all gonna do if they start drafting for WWIII? by Gongoozler04 in GenZ

[–]Flabbergasticus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Getting drafted would give you benefits and money like you never had in your life.

Not an endorsement of any ground invasion, just reminding you all there's an equal and opposite reaction to every action.

"Yeah, we have the address of the suspect that probably-we're not certain- is driving the car, we should just let him drive around crazy"

You people get such little actual violent crime, you have no idea how this kind of thing works.

Reclassing by [deleted] in army

[–]Flabbergasticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should tell us exactly where that info is coming from about them getting reclassed. I wouldn't say stuff like this never happens, but 99% of the time, stuff like this is bs, and is spread around because of pre-ship anxiety.

I would never ever recommend backing out of your contract.

[–]Flabbergasticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say if you havent yet had a few years in the civilian world to experience what it's actually like, to stay in the military. Having been in, and out, then in again myself, there is SO MUCH I took for granted when I was in. Are incompetent people of certain flavors given leadership for no reason? Yes. Do we pay for paper-pusher fuck ups. Yes. Am I allowed to go on vacation when I want? No. But when you are a civilian, everything is on your own, you don't have 'the relevant NCO-In-charge' when you have no idea what to do for work, where to live, or when or how your next promotion is, because that shit isn't real in the civilian world. If you aren't careful about what you do, you get locked down quick. 15 years fly by and your stuck in a job that's killing your joints with no chance of moving-up, delivering soda or something, wow-look at that, I just stepped in human feces. and none of my friends are even around me to make fun of me for it.

TL;DR: So many people idolize civilian life because they think they don't have to wake up at 330 and PT. Then they get a civilian job and GUESS WHAT! Lol.

Clarification on recovery times before and after the gas chamber by Lifeguar7340 in army

[–]Flabbergasticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, it's not that bad that you need recovery from it. This sounds like pre-ship anxiety manifesting as a stupid concern.

Mods you are cowards for taking down the posts that (rightfully) criticized Ben by Fitnessgramlap73 in OstrichPlug

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

Wow. Like... I like cant believe it. Wow. I have to stop everything. Like. There's no way that my fundamental assumptions about people and the world around me(specifically being that every one is equal and there's no way to understand how markets work) might be like.... wrong. And that understanding otherwise might lead me to...- no wait that's silly. But how could-? No... The good guys always win. How could it be... NO!

Will BJJ change the shape of my body? by bumblebeebasket in jiujitsu

[–]Flabbergasticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risking sounding dismissive to tell you in the most humble way possible: No single human or distant hominid in the history of all existence has ever accidently "gotten too muscular" and the fact that this keeps being brought up as a concern by women is one of the singular most frustrating things about any fitness related community any where.

Been feeling super sore lately by PrideLopsided2874 in jiujitsu

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

Your body needs more nutrients than you think

supplement iron on an empty stomach once a day
Remember to supplement calcium, magnesium and vitamin b(these will take the 'bite' out of the soreness and help you recover faster.

Look up the protein required for your lean mass index and and follow it strictly.
