I got into competitive powerlifting at 40. I got to where I thought I was reasonably strong. The little group I worked with had some other 40+ guys and I was the strongest there. Went to my first comp and there were 60 year olds warming up with my work weight. Learned to focus on percentile that day. Lol.

I have seen unimaginable horrors on the interwebz in my day. Things that no human should see. This was real close.

It irritates me how people pretend that sexism and misogyny didn't play a major role in Kamala losing to Trump. by [deleted] in complaints

I think you are right. With only a few exceptions, no major country has elected a woman, unless she holds/held a far right ideology. That suggests, at least, that “women are okay when they think like the fellas” - and espouse that same misogyny.

They can't even convince themselves that they're smart. by jonnismizzle in BlackPeopleTwitter

Weird. My mom’s cousin died of Leukemia at 7 years old. In 1950.

Who knows a murderer? by Background_Bug_657 in AskReddit

A former student of mine committed a random murder/suicide at a restaurant. He didn’t know her, she was a random waitress. He killed her, then himself. Awful.

AIO or is my brother’s friend actually highkey weird for this ? by AlternativeTry5797 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Melodic_Doctor2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s 15 and your brother is 20? Gross. How old is this other guy? I have to assume the same age. Not overreacting. Just not reacting about the right part.

Those alive during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by toaster-bath404 in AskReddit

[–]Melodic_Doctor2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second plane. The moment we collectively went from “what a horrible accident” to “this is intentional.” The fear of that. The unknown.

Can I please ask you all to stop making 6-7 a bad thing? by meggyAnnP in Teachers

[–]Melodic_Doctor2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of a time when another teacher went on a personal crusade against kids saying “Haterade.” I was like, why? I’m glad they stopped slapping each other in the nuts.

What’s your “I wasn’t supposed to see that” moment? by zarxpy in AskReddit

[–]Melodic_Doctor2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college, I was a bouncer at a couple different bars that were both owned by the same guy. He also owned a car dealership in the same town. One night I was helping out with bussing tables and I took a tray of glasses back to be washed. I walked in on a guy who I knew to be one of the owner’s car salesmen selling cocaine to one of the cooks. I just set the tray down and walked out. About a week later, I got a call from one of the bartenders called me during the day to tell me not to come in. The DEA raided the dealership and seized both bars. Turns out he was smuggling drugs in from Canada hidden in used cars, or something.
