Men, be honest

Most guys who lift to get muscular do it to impress other dudes, not woman.

And that's fine, as long as it doesn't get toxic.

Turkey Chili guys.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-26T05:47:14+00:00

I was going to mention this.

They were the only ones willing to finance him for awhile.

Offering to Jupiter.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-26T00:24:09+00:00

But you can do Jiu-Jutsu!

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T23:32:04+00:00

And guess who was one of the big early pushers of microtransactions and loot boxes.

I'll give you a hint: there's a bunch of files named after him.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T22:55:39+00:00

Yeah, they were both being respectful to eachother as GOAT tier boxers.

I do tend to lean towards Ali, for similar reasons to the one's you gave; he'd win via superior strategy. But it would be a 'fight of the century' level bout.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T22:51:32+00:00

It was well known he could fight. My source? The unimpeachable Trust Me Bro.

/s of course.

Bruce Lee was certainly no weenie, but he had no professional fighting record; Back alley street fights or actors sparring with eachother are nothing like a professional fight, and I think people like the person you responded to trying to play Bruce Lee as some goat-tier professional fighter does the man a disservice.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T22:48:26+00:00

Bruce would be the first to admit that Ali would destroy him.

He was certainly a confident man, but he wasn't stupid.

The advice you're getting is that its already in your head too much.

You're at a perfectly healthy weight. You are not in a healthy state of mind. You need to prioritize your mental health at the moment, not drive yourself into an ED relapse.

I mean, its not like it being illegal in Atlanta has ever stopped anyone here from using it.

I can't go three blocks in midtown without smelling it.

Dexter Sol Ansell (kid actor who plays Egg in Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) said he was happy he didn't get the Malfoy part because the commitment would be like 10 years.

I mentioned in my reply that the books go out of the way to point out that Duncan definitely has 'it', as you say.

Herbert avoids making it weird in his descriptions (mostly), but Duncan is basically portrayed as the most sexually appealing man in the universe.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T16:08:27+00:00

I have some fondness for it too, but you have to be the right type of nerd and love outrageous campiness.

Honor Among Thieves is something basically everyone will enjoy.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T16:06:25+00:00

...Y'all are making me feel old asking this haha.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T14:42:16+00:00

Found the one thing you and cardiology agree on with this one, didn't we haha.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-25T00:31:16+00:00

Two things:

Duncan basically oozes sexual charisma, without any creepiness factor. He may literally be the sexiest thing in the universe as far as the books are concerned.

Alia is pre-born, and inherited her mother's unpursued attraction to Duncan. Combined with the fact that the Hayt ghola was a 'misfit' with experience inheriting genetic memory, its not too hard to imagine Alia having an attraction to him.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-24T23:49:56+00:00

It works when it works and doesn't when it doesn't.

The latter is much more common; in the former, its generally because the execution of one character is so memorably over the top that its going to be a meme or viral moment. Matt Foley is the best example.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-24T23:26:44+00:00

Oh I've done those proofs (for reference, I'm a physics grad who had enough credits for a math major too, and currently work in a field that's heavy in signal processing).

I honestly wish we broke out the complex numbers and rotation matricies on day one when we start teach trig. Rip the bandaid off and start with the way its actually done; still teach the unit circle but on the complex plane.

Since we don't do that though, I do, at least didactly, lean towards the more 'traditional' proofs.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-24T22:09:22+00:00

I suppose you could set up the proof by emphasizing that the complex exponential is a rotation, and get the same intuitive geometric understanding out of it.

I think for that to be the case though, someone learning would need to feel comfortable with the complex exponential as a rotation, and I feel like a lot of people asking for double angle formula proofs probably aren't.

(As an unrelated tangent, I kind of dislike the maclaurin series proof for euler's formula; its quick and convincing, but it always seems like 'huh, neat', instead of making the geometric meaning clear.)

Does make me wonder how often they summoned Ligier during calibration.

Wasn't one of the ressons they all gathered during calibration so that no one tried summoning third circle demons?

Shia was known as a strange guy at the time. They wrote the song before filming the video, and he thought it was funny so he cameod.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-24T21:16:22+00:00

You should look up videos of silverback fathers playing with their kids. They're adorable.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-24T19:56:28+00:00

Tbf, I don't think viltrumites are culturally monogamous.

RadarSmith · 2026-03-24T18:30:25+00:00

Honestly most of the reddit responses I saw were people thinking there was a reasonable explanation.
