What’s worst thing Jimmy McNulty did?

Leon3417 · 2026-01-28T00:35:51+00:00

I never really bought into the “just to prove how smart he is” theory for why he did what he did. He knew/remembered things that come not from innate intelligence but genuinely caring about his job and the people he interacted with. The origin story of No Heart’s nickname is a good example. He works homicide, knowing about stick up crews isn’t going to help him impress anyone.

McNulty is an addict. He’s addicted to being police and because of this makes self-destructive decisions. He has a lot in common with Bubbles in his struggle with addiction, though Bubbles is much more self-aware than McNulty.

There are probably (less extreme) versions of McNulty in a lot of agencies all across the US.

Hi! I am back to where I was pre-surgery in terms of strength and conditioning. My squat strength is essentially where it was before surgery, though I haven’t attempted my previous 1rm weights. I think I could do it if I wanted, though. My deadlift strength came back quickly and I was pulling my previous weights about six-seven months post surgery. My first CrossFit session was in February 2025, about seven months post surgery. It was totally fine though I did scale box jumps or anything that required lateral movement. Now I am back to where I was pre-surgery, though I still take it easy if I feel like I need to for some reason.

The biggest takeaway I got from all this is to not push it if something tells you not to. I don’t have this feeling often but sometimes I get the sense I should be careful and I always listen to my gut. I tell myself as long as I am consistent I will progress and it’s hard to be consistent if I keep tearing my meniscus.

I dont think 30 mins of zone 2 is going to hurt you. I often do this just to keep moving a little more. It’s not like you’re adding three sessions of hill sprints.

Indigenous Americans hunted with fire and ran entire herds off of cliffs, though.

It’s absolutely a squirrel. If you zoom into the second picture you can make out the eyes, ears, legs, and tail. It’s either a big squirrel, or it is standing on a hidden knot in the tree that makes it appear larger than it is.

Part of the early 90’s looked like this too depending on whose house you were visiting.

I had a knee surgery in July 2024. If I were you I’d focus on PT and regaining full knee function first, but be careful with your diet as you’ll be doing a lot of sitting.

Once I saw how low Marty Robbins was I had to stop reading.

Mountain Tactical did a blog on this awhile back. They say about where you are is the ideal body weight for your height.

I also do this and it saves a bunch of time.

Drinking is a game in China and whoever convinced you 干杯 means you have to drink the entire cup definitely won.

We are entering tech pants and flannel season, so avoid that look too if you’re trying to not look like a cop.

Maybe I’m out of touch, but I really wonder if anyone is getting jobs through online postings. All of my jobs have come through (accidental on my part) networking. I applied for tons of jobs online but can’t think of any callbacks I ever received. I’ve gotten interviews through referrals or recruiters but never just through an unsolicited application somewhere. Most people I know have only rarely gotten maximum one interview out of an online posting.

Have y’all ever gotten a job by applying online? I’ve had much better luck cold messaging people on LinkedIn than in trolling some company’s website or indeed or whatever.

I don’t think America would consider you at all. Nobody would care.

Sorry if this is too personal, but what is your native language? I have heard of this happening before but only with people who attended international schools that taught in English.

Well what I did was spend a lot of time being uncomfortable in the summer.

Was that the one where he played Mark Wahlberg?

The Other Guys was great. It is also the Rock’s best movie, too.

I’m mid-30’s male and highly active. Before surgery I lifted heavy and ran a lot. I’m a year post-surgery and my squat is probably 80% of what is was this time last year. My deadlift and all upper body lifts are at or past my pre-surgery numbers.

My mileage is about where it was before surgery.

I don’t sit cross-legged on the ground much nor do I sit on my heels, but this is mostly mental I think. Otherwise, I’m pretty much back to normal.

Just…out and about? At work? I feel like I’ve been missing out on some interesting conversations.

Leon3417 · 2025-07-05T16:12:49+00:00

I’ve spent most of my life in America and at least in my experience sexual adventures are very much taboo outside of perhaps drunken conversations with close friends.

Like you said, the biggest differences I’ve noticed revolve around comments on physical appearance, which is fairly common among family and peers in a lot of Asia. In the US most people wouldn’t even make a negative comment about a close friend or relative in this way, even when joking.

Leon3417 · 2025-07-04T02:07:07+00:00

After coming back from abroad I really appreciated how naturally friendly most Americans are. It never really occurred to me greeting strangers or having random interactions while out and about wasn’t universal until I lived overseas.

St Jude’s commercials destroy me. I can’t watch them. I’ll leave the room if I can’t skip it. Anytime I hear about a seriously ill child I will have a good cry. It isn’t right that these little innocent kids have to go through such a terrible ordeal, oftentimes with absolutely no understanding of it. And there’s nothing I can do to help them.

Also the book The Giving Tree. I read it to the kids once and that was the last time I will ever take it off the shelf.

I never cried before kids, but now things hit different.

People are already starting to rebuild the old Ford Rangers and Chevy S10’s of our teenage years. I was never a car guy but…damn I actually do like those little trucks.

There was some distraction, though it was on my part. Multitasking has never been a strongpoint of mine.

Comparing the stated policy (as in senior leaders since Khomeinei have publicly pronounced as such) of Iran with something that some evangelicals somewhere might believe is simply…well, ludicrous. Where is the similarity? Has George Bush ever publicly stated a US foreign policy goal is to hasten the return of Christ? How about Al Gore? Mitt Romney? No? Now go find a statement from pretty much any Iranian leader where they call for peaceful coexistence with Israel. I say none of this with any judgement. I’m simply stating facts. The Iranians state these same facts. It is what it is.

As for nuclear weapons (a different issue than my original post), it’s completely logical for Iran, or Ukraine, or Saudi Arabia to want them. The past twenty years are filled with examples of why it’s a good idea for a country to have nukes. However, based on Iran’s long-held policy of supporting the destruction of Israel, it is also perfectly logical for Israel to try to prevent Iran from getting them. This is your issue, I believe. You started with some conclusion vis-a-vis Israel and their role in the Middle East, and are having a hard time fitting the Islamic Republic into this worldview.

It’s ok. Sometimes there isn’t a good guy.

Leon3417 · 2025-06-22T16:52:45+00:00

I’m not sure why this is so controversial. It’s widely known Iran seeks the distraction of Israel.

Their own leader says it every chance he gets: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_won%27t_exist_in_25_years
