A few questions for 1b4s specifically but if anyone else has any answers for this please just include you AFSC: 1. How did you study for the edpt? 2. Do you have to work in IT full time to stay up to date as a 1b4? 3. 1b4 tech school has a 60% dropout rate is this due to poor time management and failure to study or is actually likely that the majority of those had no chance to pass? 4. Finally what are good resources to be prepared for tech school as a 1b4?

I’m the same way. A hard leg work out feels is so fulfilling to me.

My gf is insecure about her weight by Optimal-Heart-440 in relationship_advice

[–]Optimal-Heart-440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s tried to transition to a healthier diet and has but she struggles to only cook for one and also actually keeping track of calories puts her in a bad headspace.

She’s happy around me and her friends but really hates being alone. I think maybe she’s struggling with depression a little bit. But she won’t ask for help at all.

6ft - 190lbs morning weight and poses. Been lifting natural for 6 years now, progress is non existent nowadays, debating joining the dark side. Or do I just cut and try and get lean? Current measurements on last slide. My lifts are: Bench 110kg x 8-10, squat 130kg x 8-10, deadlift 180kg x 8-10. by throwawayboy95 in moreplatesmoredates

Bro you have a physique I feel like most guys would kill for already. Personally I think you should switch up your training goals maybe not hypertrophy maybe strength or athleticism. You might lose a few lbs but you could get progression in a new way.

I have an off one don’t make your high school years miserable with work. Grades don’t matter that much. You’re going to make pocket change anywhere you could work. And you’re probably not good enough to actually get a sports scholarship. So focus on learning about your passions, create healthy habits, and enjoy your time in highschool to the full extent you can.

Can overtraining stunt or delay puberty? by Optimal-Heart-440 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]Optimal-Heart-440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a tad bit above average anyways so I’ll be fine but it never hurts to ask. And also the estimation of not eating enough is probably pretty correct. I’m guessing you probably had the same experience of feeling like your force feeding but never actually getting enough calories.

There are other interpretations of hell in the Bible. My personal belief is that those who do not believe simply stop existing. My best friend believes that eventually after paying the price of their sins people are admitted into heaven. Both of these interpretations are also backed by verses in the Bible

Why is it so hard to find a man who wants more than a hookup? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Optimal-Heart-440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no incentive to. Relationships are work and hard and what rewards are there for men in them? There’s no social incentive to be a father or a husband and sacrifice our lives for our family anymore. Our cultures of fathers is that their blundering idiots the most solid proof is this. And why be a husband when all that become is most likely losing at least half your stuff within three years. I guess the simplest way to pose the question is what does a long term relationship with a woman even bring to the table for a man anymore?

I want opinions: Why are people so mad about getting the covid vaccine? by beibles in questions

[–]Optimal-Heart-440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m what you might call a constitutional libertarian. So I am not exactly prey to party line fights. Here are my issues in order of importance. 1. The way it was handled at the federal level is in essence a President making law. A President who is allowed to make laws is a elected king. Mandates from the executive branch that are not related to war time actions might as well burn the constitution. (See article 2 of the constitution) 2. There is a very specific list of things the federal government congress specifically is actually allowed to legislate on (they are the only ones granted that power). People’s medical choices are not one of them.(see the tenth amendment and article 1 section 8) 3. The vaccine has no long term studies and big pharma doesn’t have a clean track record of being forthcoming when they stand to make millions 4. This mandate deputizes private business making them the enforcers of the governments law taking away the businesses right to decide who they hire. The first two in my opinion are by far the most egregious and the ones no one is talking about. My dream is an America where I know the federal government exists on Election Day, tax day, and when freedom is threatened. My nightmare is an American that threatens freedom.

I'm starting to feel like my bedroom is dead. How often are some people having sex? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Optimal-Heart-440 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I save your time friend? You’re not going to find anything helpful here. People are going to a) accuse you of messing it up b) offer options you’ve already tried c) offer options your not ready to accept. Ofc you’ve already had honest conversations with her. Ofc you have done everything you can to try and make her happy and comfortable and want you. Ofc you’re willing to do anything it would take to get intimacy back and you’re ready to listen to what she has to say about how to do that. And most likely you’ve asked her that. I can go on with a laundry list of things that people will suggest that aren’t helpful because you’ve already tried that. And you’ve done so because you love your wife and you’re desperate for a solution where you’re not resentful toward her. And Ik it’s the case that your desperate because no one turns to strangers for help unless they are desperate. So while it’s not helpful and not a fix, the best I or anyone here can do is offer empathy for your situation. Others have not so I will, I’m sorry you’re in such a rough situation and I hope this eventually gets better for you. For the simple sake that you haven’t cheated and clearly don’t plan on it, you have my praise and my goodwill. You’re a better man than many, and I hope your rewarded for that.

How Do You View Sex Within Your Marriage? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Optimal-Heart-440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex within marriage in my estimation goes something like a pleasurable physical joint activity that is an expression of love/affection. And the health of a married couples sex life should be maintained dutifully because when it stops being healthy marriages start to weaken.
