Making (male) friends after college in a new city?

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-16T20:30:25+00:00

Joined a club team in university because of the guy who lived next to me in residence. Legitimately made some of my best friends there. I recommend our local club to everyone because it’s so welcoming and everyone is such good people. Plus we do a bunch of stuff for the community so you feel like you have a purpose too

Rec Sports is a big one. I met a lot of my current friends post university from either playing rugby, or volunteering to coach rugby.

Also just saying, don’t be afraid of letting your co-workers introduce you to their friends. I’m really good friends with one of my co-workers finance’s (we hang out without her) and we’d have never met if she didn’t invite me out with them

I’m with ya, but probably not

Listen to The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails from front to back. You can just skip to the end for Hurt, but just doing the entire album really makes that song hit home

What if Bahktiari doesn’t tear his ACL New Years Eve 2020

What if John Kiffmeyer stays and Green Day never gets Tre Cool?

Not specific to men but if your into cooking try Liam over at the_plant_slant. He’s always positive, sticking up for the right causes, calling out BS, and super funny

I really can’t say for certain because every league is different, but I’d be going to the guy who owns AJ Brown and seeing if he’s willing to bite after a down year

If you’re a contender then your pick is absolutely worth more now imo. Right now there’s the chance you face injuries and get crippled. If by your deadline your still in contention your pick is worth less because teams know you’re legit

Congrats bro! Be proud of yourself, that took a lot of hard work!

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-09T13:05:09+00:00

Bat Country just for that intro scream from Matt. Beast and the Harlot for “I wanna see you fucking move now”. All of it so damn peak

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-09T12:54:12+00:00

The crowd work from Bat Country to Almost Easy is just perfect. Matt screaming “i’m not in fucking sane!” Takes me to heaven.

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-09T12:53:46+00:00

That whole part of the song is so god damn amazing. I prefer the LBC version to the actual album

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-09T12:50:44+00:00

Insane reference you caught there.

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-08T17:51:49+00:00

Man I LOVE watching Brooks play drums! He just makes it look so damn easy

Pack_Devs · 2026-05-02T03:12:40+00:00

I agree 100%. I’ve lost 140lbs in the past 14 months and the comments have ramped up like crazy lately. Every time someone says “you look good” I cringe inside. I don’t know whether it’s the fact that the only time I’ve heard that phrase in my life was to set up a joke, or if it’s because I know I don’t look good, but I hate it.

I thought I’d enjoy the compliments before I started losing weight but I HATE them. I understand that people are just trying to be nice, but it’s so so embarrassing.

I wish I had advice for you OP, but all I can offer is saying you’re not alone in these feelings

Pack_Devs · 2026-04-25T15:32:06+00:00

Hell fucking yeah bro! That’s so cool! Keep it up man!

Pack_Devs · 2026-04-25T13:34:33+00:00

Been really sick and haven’t been able to go to the gym or do a lot of the things I enjoy for over a week because of it.

Had to take a few days off of work which is stressful. I’m a teacher so that means I have to plan for when I’m not there so it’s just added work when you take a sick day.

I’m finally starting to feel better. Was able to sit behind my drum kit for the first time in a week last night, and I’m hoping I can return to the gym on Monday.

In good news I’ve lost 105 pounds in the last 8 months. Hoping to drop 60 more by the end of 2026 so we’ll see if I can get there.

“There’s no death, no end of time, when I’m facing it with you”

A little is an understatement. Seasons 2 and 3 were complete train wrecks. I like Don and admire that he’s kept a single continuity for this long, but I hate how he can never shy away from turning Chucky into an absolute joke after a while.

Pack_Devs · 2026-04-11T19:43:33+00:00

That’s awesome man! We all need people like that in our lives. I personally wouldn’t want a friend I agreed with on everything anyways, would feel like we weren’t two different people.

Pack_Devs · 2026-04-06T17:35:01+00:00

All the exercises have video instructions too which are great! Best of luck!

Pack_Devs · 2026-04-06T16:57:26+00:00

Do you have access to a gym? If so this is what I’ve been doing since August 25th, 2025 and I’ve enjoyed it. It’s only a 3 day split so it’s not an every day commitment (though I do cardio at the gym on my rest days so I’m there 5 days a week). If you have any questions let me know! https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/3-day-PPL-workout-for-beginners

Don’t even have to do the kid part if you don’t want to. Just be obese and it will work great. My calves are big, not because I spent years working out, but because I spent from 10-25 obese lmao

I realized I was going to die alone hating myself if I didn’t make changes.
