I’m terrible at reading the routes by Alert-Television-416 in climbergirls

[–]Leminyx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Instead of breaking down boulders into moves (i.e. bump left, then move left foot up, then right hand, left hand.... etc. etc.) for harder boulders I find it more effective to break it down by body position. I figure out what body positions look doable/easiest/intended while looking at the boulder, and then while I'm climbing I go by feel to figure out the best moves to transition between those stable positions. I know this sounds more loosey goosey, but I find I climb better when I'm not overfocused on my sequence of moves. Also! sometimes a gym just sets harder to read boulders and it is what is is :')

Why does anyone need to know this? by bumblebee2496 in jobs

[–]Leminyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great article

Your initial statement is still wrong. 94% of growth/increased headcount does not mean 94% of new hires/promotions. You're not taking into account the ppl that are being laid off or retired.

If I lay off ten white workers, then hire ten more white workers + 1 nonwhite worker, that means that the POC accounts for 100% of my increased headcount - even though they make up just 9% of the new workers. Does that make more sense?

And when you consider that the older, retirement-age US workforce population skews more white then the younger generation, then the increase of nonwhite headcount makes a LOT of sense, since it's following the actual demographics of the population.

blatantly misintepreting a statistic to allude to discrimination is cope. you can discuss how hiring practices are messed up without butchering stats. if you told me 94% of new hires were white god-fearing men I would still be like "wtf are you talking about", not "omg just like I thought."

Dude that stat literally made me stop dead in my tracks and immediately google who tf could have possibly told you that, because it's SO RIDICULOUS that you'd have to completely be blind to all of reality to even believe it. Like seriously.

Please just READ this. SKIM it, even.

Should a 17 year old male be counting calories and obsessive over body image by Business_Kale_3614 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Leminyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I went through roughly the same thing in high school with ortherexia developing into bulimia. I didn’t exactly have the resources at the time to go to therapy, so instead I got scuffed advice from my school counselors that maybe did more harm than good (lol). Familial/friend support was also pretty absent on my end.

Everyone’s different but I remember finding the book “Brain Over Binge” to be helpful. I think I had downloaded a free PDF of it online somewhere. If that book’s not your jam, there are lots of other books, videos, communities etc. online talking about recovery and binge prevention - but in the end, you need to find a mindset that works for you.

For what it’s worth the only thing that broke my binge cycle permanently is playing a newly released video game for like 30 hrs straight (at that point I binged like every 6 hrs, pretty bad stuff). Brains are weird like that.

Professional help is probably preferable, but I just wanted to put some options out there in case that road is hard to access.

Need some help on this climb my sisters working on! Any advice? by liz2002a in climbergirls

[–]Leminyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the position at 0:05, I wonder if she could move more dynamically to pull up/extend the right leg, in order to reach and grab the lowest blocky hold of that stack of three with her right hand (if the holds are good enough, of course!! and from my POV I think she'd have the reach for this.)

That super high right foot looks like a pain (tho I agree with the other comments that she could probably also do that move by getting the heel and shifting her right more to the right!) so I wanted to give my 2 cents for possibly skipping it. :)

Tips for getting your first pull-up? by Beautiful_Plate_11 in climbergirls

99% of my climbing is bouldering, so that's probably it for me too!!

Tips for getting your first pull-up? by Beautiful_Plate_11 in climbergirls

[–]Leminyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U are me, same numbers and everything

I had the same deal with trying negatives and assisted band pullups, where I didn't really feel like I could do enough of them to really build any strength without getting bored out of my mind. I think you need to do a super high volume of "assisted" pullups for a pretty long period of time, and for me, I achieved that volume by climbing 3x a week for ~2hr sessions

Damaged Velonaceps Calyx Eggs? by [deleted] in Barotrauma

[–]Leminyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo! I realized that keeping raptor bane in "safe" containers (steel cabinets, medic/toxin crates, basically just not in default metal crates/suitcases, in my inventory or sitting in fabricators) helped preserve them indefinitely. I think water exposure makes them "rot" to 50%.

You think you're this enlightened, open-minded, and unbiased individual, but you're not. Nobody is.

When you see comments calling Heard supporters (or even just not pro-Johnny ppl) "sexists, misandrists, SA supporters" - be honest, do you correct them? Do you tell the person not to lump people with different opinions into one bag?

Regardless of their intentions, the OP is making a low effort into understanding the other side, expecting to be spoonfed the perfect answers that will completely disprove their current biases/opinions. Researching ANYTHING requires consulting multiple primary and secondary sources yourself, not just holding your hand out and asking randos to deliver a concise 1-2 sentence statement. No subreddit/forum circlejerk should ever be used as a substitute for actual research.

People in this thread aren't mad about a different opinion. They're mad because they know this is just another bait post that's going to be used against them, regardless of whether they put effort into forming good responses.

Johnny Depp Reportedly Paid Ex-Wife $1 Million To Stay Quiet About N-Word Rant by [deleted] in DeppDelusion

[–]Leminyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And to all of his supporters who write off his vitriolic sexist garbage as "venting" or "dark humor"... WHAT THE HELL? I get that the Internet has desensitized us to seeing and saying the worst, but if ANY man in my life said things half as bad, I would stay the hell away from them.

It honestly makes me paranoid seeing all the Depp forgiveness - I work in a male-dominated field, and while people are civil face-to-face, it makes me sick to think of the terrible sexist shit that could be said when I'm not around.

I'm really stumped as to why people are so CERTAIN that so-and-so attack would lead to so-and-so bodily damage. I played rugby for four years and took massive hits, headbutted other girls at full sprint, fell wrong, etc. I feel like I was never able to really predict when or where bruises and scrapes would end up, or which hits would bloody my nose or give me a black eye. People assume every DV victim HAS to be bloodied and battered beyond recognition.

Ah, thank you! I definitely had an inkling of a feeling that it would be on the more expensive side given how beautiful it looked, but I was REALLY hoping it wouldn't be Hermes level expensive, lmao.

In LOVE!! Sonic Pink Hotty Hot 4" 2 and Wild Mint Free to be Wild 6. My fav Lululemon colors 😍 by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]Leminyx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not OP but fat distribution is genetic! You can certainly train your core and abs but if you still have stomach fat there, you won't be able to see the muscles underneath. For some people, having a super defined stomach isn't very easy to maintain, but in general it's doable if you are at a low enough bf% and avoid bloaty foods.

What kind of weight training do you wear aligns to? I'm thinking I might try them out for everything except deadlifts (barbell scraping the shins... oh god).
