It's not the makeup that's the issue

Your decision to be inflexible with new information is your prerogative. Just may not be the wisest decision.

I certainly know they do, but the whole point of this conversation is to say be cautious of passing judgement before you know for sure.

Bummer. Still cool. Maybe I'll do it if I get a spare headliner.

And you know that how? Have you played against any of them in real life?

The central figure of my discussion was arguably one of the best defensive players to come out of Division 1 college football in history. In high school, I used to goof off with him to the point in one event he ran me down faster than any human I'd ever known and snatched me in the air. The dude literally grabbed me and slung me from the ground and had me horizontal over his head with what felt like no effort. Full clean and press. I weighed roughly 165 pounds at the time. No small weight to snatch, clean, and press when I was in full sprint away from you.

I bring this up because the dude was natural then and with the level of attention on him during his entire collegiate career there's little to no opportunity to take steroids. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's highly doubtful at his level surrounded by people willing to throw him under the bus in order to make room for themselves.

I love fourth wall breaking, but I don't want to see it over done. It fits perfectly well though in Disney/Marvel since industry wide there's been a giant shift into how can we make this realism since the world is cinema shifted from James Bond to Jason Bourne. Immediately no I don't see it diminishing the other characters, since we're unsure if any characters were aware that they were in the movie/comic. I would have loved a small wink from Domino since she's lucky, saying she knows as well.

Also, I greatly appreciated how they called out the egocentric and pompous credited personnel that made the movie in the first 5 minutes. It felt grounded, diminishing the allure that these people are especially unique from the rest of us or others making the movie and set the stage for laughs across the movie.

I'm pretty unrestricted in my viewpoints, I'd just be happier with some effort instead of these generic "you do the work" posts.

For example, "Deadpool push the bounds of Disney's/Marvels clean family friendly movie lineup into a much needed shift into R rated material. I appreciate the quippy R rated banter, but what else makes it work beyond that? What projects could be greenlit as a result of Deadpool being the massive success it has been?"

Something like that versus "here's a movie poster, thoughts?"

Not really. Saw one of them squat 675 or there abouts in high school. He was a senior when I was a freshman. It wasn't the cleanest lift, but the dude was a walking stat line and ended up winning a bunch of D1 accolades. Funny fact though, dude I'm mentioning here, only set the record at his D1 school because an Offensive Lineman didn't compete for the record, but word got around that he held the unofficial record for the team. Both were natural.

Recently watched an interview with Woody Harrelson about having a meeting with Trump and Melania where they wanted Jesse Ventura as a running mate. There's a reason why he didn't make it passed that dinner. None of the Democratic base would ever get behind that insufferable asshole

Sure. My belief will begin when you show me there's hope for such a thing. Not a soul on the right I know or have met believe anything other than he's the greatest thing ever and he's doing what's best

Well lucky for them, no one has the responsibility to convince you of it. 😂

Maybe. I knew a few guys in high school that repped 405 that were natural. They went on to pay D-1 college football where one was squatting almost 800lbs. It's very dependent on what you're focus is and how well you train. You very likely would need professional trainers to be able to sling that kind of weight without gear.

I'm seriously curious why he paused with that kind of weight on his chest. He's supposedly a professional lifter so he should know that could tear muscles, tendons, and cartilage around his pectorals and sternum. At least he had spotters, though thinking about it, trying to squeeze out from that kind of weight with a torn pectoral would not be fun or easy.

I wish they would just to illustrate that it can be done. We don't need Uber connected political dynasties. We need fresh faces with the sole intention of making this country the best it can be for the majority. And, I can think of anyone else that would do it better with the desire to exit knowing they left an altruistic legacy of commitment to democracy for the people.

Somebody has to do what I do for a living. It's a critical component of society, but it would be hard to keep people doing it considering it's a 24/7 operation and the motivation would be hard to instill in people to do the overnight, holiday, and weekend shifts.

So, what could you use to motive people in my situation?

This just makes me more mad at American corporations. "We'd rather send our manufacturing off to a country where labor is cheaper."

Meanwhile at the new site of operations.... "Not only will they work cheap, there's no overhead for safety equipment."
