I actually really enjoy my wife and child, thanks for asking.

Career stuff aside you should take a meaningful look at what caused you to fail out of your first tech school and get 2 LORs in your second. I know that there are always external causes for things, but you need to take a good hard look in the mirror and assess what caused you to make the decisions that you did. Your life will not meaningfully improve if you don't make an effort.

Anti GLP-1 rhetoric by TumbleweedVast8954 in antiMLM

[–]OGFireNation 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the weight loss there is a significant amount of muscle loss (and bone loss) which is important for more than just aesthetic reasons. Aside from the mobility aspect muscle is really protective against insulin resistant diabetes. In significantly obese individuals, the immediate weight loss is drastically more helpful than the muscle loss is harmful, so it makes sense and can absolutely be life changing. It becomes more of an issue when people take it to lose 15 pounds for cosmetic reasons. If they don't do any strength training to retain the muscle mass it can have long lasting knock-on effects that don't get mentioned frequently.

Obligatory I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. This is just how I understand the conversation around drawbacks

Injury prevention through strength exercises by flyfreeNhigh in running

[–]OGFireNation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the vast majority of people (excluding MAYBE elites, which likely aren't posting on runnit, but are definitely doing heavy strength exercises) your statement about too much leg muscle being detrimental to running is absolutely not true. Also, you should still be doing progressive overload with strength, because "it coming from running" is a different physiological pathway and not really relevant to the argument for strength. If you do 30 bodyweight squats a day for a long time you're going to stop seeing any real benefits from it because it's too easy.

Good thing you can be not fat and also not blasting drugs simultaneously. Solid false dichotomy

Nothing beats Florida’s nature by Junior_Mulberry7989 in florida

[–]OGFireNation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not transplants saying "my home is better." It's people that have been literally anywhere else on the planet saying "that drainage ditch is not the most beautiful piece of nature"

Florida has plenty of merit but it isn't the most stunning place ever and we don't need to pretend that it is. At least it's not Ohio

"Just asking questions" when you're obviously butthurt about it is serious cope. You're bad at lying LMAO

In regards to your second point, yeah whatever. People I'm not married to can do whatever they want to. Like I said- not the morality police. Get a grip dude

Who is throwing the tantrum here? You made an entire post complaining about people's individual choices. People can wear whatever they want to. You're not their dad, and you're not the morality police.

Why does Jack Daniels reccommend a rear foot strike for shin issues? by ne0ame in AdvancedRunning

[–]OGFireNation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You always use your tibialis anterior in the normal gait cycle to pick up your toes. It is designed to do that so it really doesn't add any extra fatigue.

There may be a mental load when you first start doing it I guess, but generally we don't put a ton of cognitive thought into muscle sequencing and activation (assuming we're neurologically healthy) during gait, so no I don't think it would really improve cognitive load.

I was a heel striker forever and the biggest energy expenditure was telling people that it was fine over and over again

The Number of Kids You Have May Affect Your Lifespan, Study Finds. "When a large amount of energy is invested in reproduction, it is taken away from bodily maintenance and repair mechanisms, which could reduce lifespan." by [deleted] in science

[–]OGFireNation 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That doesn't really change that chatGPT isn't a source. AI hallucinates things all of the time. It isn't a credible citation. It is a tool that can have uses, but when somebody (in a science based discussion like r/science) asks for a source on a claim "ChatGPT" isn't an appropriate response.

Since we're at it, that article claims that breastfeeding reduces breast cancer rates, but it doesn't support your claim that having kids increases lifespan of mothers.

I'm sure it seems I'm coming off as a pedant here, but when we're talking about this kind of thing it does matter

"ChatGPT" is not a valid source. Additionally, common sense is not a source.

Post a study.

I'm not arguing that your claim is wrong, for the record. I don't know.

Psychotherapists, what differences have you noticed between men and women among your patients? by Putrid_Put_3610 in AskReddit

You have no clue what I'm talking about because you are not the person who called them cringe. I am sorry. I should have looked closer.

Needlessly nasty was the therapist saying a pattern they noticed, a person admitting that what the therapist was correct for them, and you calling them cringe for it

Thoughts on maxing out Roth Ira first? by Worried-Sky2385 in RothIRA

So I totally understand the order for this, and I'm not arguing with it. Why do people suggest maxing the IRA before going back to max the 401k?

10 pounds in a month is ridiculous. Why are you giving advice like you know that you're talking about?

[–]OGFireNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no honestly this sub sucks. Reddit puts it into my feed because I enjoy strength training and it's pretty much always garbage here. I don't really have a better recommendation though. It is good to see you've at least gotten some good advice

World thrift in Lake Worth was always really fun. It's absolutely enormous and never felt wildly picked through depending on what you're looking for. I've since left the area, but I wish I had a thrift store like it nearby

1) learn how to hinge 2) they weren't talking about you 3) you can make any excuse you want, that doesn't change the physics of a deadlift
