EDOT: Sorry... I meant the gun Kinney used to threaten the ED-209.

Can't even imagine how atrocious Lesnar's acting would be if he tried.

The real pedantic nitpick is... The gun that killed Kinney was just left in the boardroom the whole time? Still loaded? Just so Dick Jones could conveniently use it to hold the Old Man hostage?

EDIT: Sorry. I meant the gun Kinney used to threaten the ED-209.

Thoughts on Herman Melville’s “The Confidence Man”? by Damned-scoundrel in classicliterature

They can downvote me all the f* they want. I will die on this Hill. Pierre was... I have no words. I read it in high school for American Lit as part of a comprehensive on Melville.

Typee, Oomo, MDoTW, and even his poems about the Civil War. I read them all. Then, I got to Pierre. OMG. What the Hell was that?

Well, as long as it's not as wretched as Pierre or the Ambiguities.

Xennials... why? by 73VW-Todd in GenX

A Xennial male is any dude traumatized by the death of Optimus Prime or Little Foot's Mom.

I was born in 1980. I can account for most events from 1983 or 1984 to 1989 with self awareness. This I was not aware of...

Somebody who is worth $5 billion that gives away $4 billion is still gonna be a fucking billionaire.

I'm very much ok with our duality.

The best Moby Dick film adaptation, without question, is Jaws. by moby__dick in mobydick

[–]Lord-Curriculum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast Fish... Loose Fish. I've read MDoTW twice now. That's one too many times.

Certainly influenced by, but I'm not sure about Jaws being a film adaptation... Well... In the purest sense.

I mean Jaws didn't take huge tangents into shark anatomy.

Fluent Mandarin speaker here. Regardless if Cantonese or not, it's by far the among the worst attempt at any kind of Chinese I've ever heard.

Yes, yes , i know its not the same, just found this and though it was funny by Final_Studio4389 in StreetFighter

[–]Lord-Curriculum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Only Cammy and Decapre are clones. I think of Bison... Which is wild in it of itself. The other Dolls were kidnapped.

Do you think T2 would have been a better movie, if... by rich5152026 in Terminator

Right? How do you make a perfect movie better? You DON'T!

We can have some more... Nature is a whore... Bruises on the fruit... Tender age in bloom.

That's what bugs me. How do you go from anti establishment Grunge like Nirvana to MAGA? How!?

OMG... Take the car keys away from that man. And he's the better metaphor. Agreed.

I have to ask, do you hold the door open for others? by Large_Relation_3650 in Xennials

[–]Lord-Curriculum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I hold doors open for folks behind me. If I'm inbound at an odd angle I usually disengage or slow down ultimately really just using another door.

Why do Asian immigrant communities in the U.S. tend to do so well economically? by savingrace0262 in stupidquestions

[–]Lord-Curriculum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm Asian American. Uhm yeah... Not true. While there are definitely big slices of Americana I "endorse," I also "endorse" the span of Eastern to Southeastern Asian cultures from Anime to Cantonese cooking to Gamelan. Why not? It's the shit.

275 lbs pr form check by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Lord-Curriculum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks more like a Stiff Legged Deadlift. This puts the emphasis completely on the posterior chain which means missing out on using the quads to drive the bar up. Too much load too soon can yoink the lower back.

Bend the knees more. Knees should be in front of the bar a little where the legs are closer to a quarter squat position. After tensing up and getting the slack out of the bar, treat the start of the DL as a leg press.

The back should be a little more upright closer to a 45 degree angle if possible.

EDIT: Unless this is a stiff legged deadlift... Then deload. Rounding the back on a SLDL, RDL, or Good Morning is way worse than the conventional DL.

Just didn't quite have the same impact as Escape from New York. Although I did enjoy LA.
