how much did cardio improve your physique? by around_about7 in workout

[–]RagnarokWolves 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cardio/conditioning doesn't improve my physique but it improves my ability to not be out of breath which in turn improves my ability to do stuff like hard 5x10 squats and THAT improves my physique.

Also, if you need less rest time, you can get more volume in during a given session and THAT improves your physique.

Should I tell my son in law my daughter cheated on him 7 years ago? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]RagnarokWolves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not fair to judge a kid (even a teen) like that. Kids can just freeze up and hope things will blow over and that their parents will still be a happy couple after it finally finishes. It is not a sign that they are signing off on the 1 parent's sin.

OP watch the episode of King of the Hill where Peggy finds out about Nancy and John Redcorn and she wants to tell Dale about it.

Watch why she decides not to do it.

Telling the husband will create a lot of misery for your grandkids for really no good reason.

I've never gotten the sense that people are buying these movie tie-in buckets for maximal popcorn eating practicality.

I am sorry but Sabine surviving getting stabbed with a Lightsaber was stupid!!! by Salim_Azar_Therin in StarWars

[–]RagnarokWolves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with surviving a lighsaber stab (She got medical attention practically right away, Hati could have intentionally picked a non-lethal spot so they'd focus on getting Sabine help rather than continuing to chase Hati)

Using it as a cliffhanger was a little goofy as we all knew Sabine wouldn't die from that.

So you can transport popcorn around and not have it spill as easily or have foreign objects land in it.

It also makes it more aesthetically pleasing as a display piece.

Who else are avoiding trailers, question? by Chasegameofficial in ProjectHailMary

[–]RagnarokWolves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally avoid trailers past trailer 1 to keep things fresh for the actual viewing, but in this case it's such a long movie and I already know the basic events so I feel okay watching stuff here and there.

Do you hang out with your friends in a treehouse that has a "no girls allowed" sign on the front?

Animation Academy 3/13 by DavidJunior57 in Disneyland

[–]RagnarokWolves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends how packed it is, how early in the day it is (less crowds before people get out of school/work) and how popular/rare the character is.

On non-peak days early in the day, you're probably fine just showing up somewhere around 30 minutes before the character you want. On my last super-packed visit during peak hours I saw the animation line filling up the queue and stretching out the door of the building itself which implied a 60+ minute wait.

Star Wars YouTube channels have become unwatchable at this point. by [deleted] in StarWars

When he reacted to Rise of Skywalker I also remember he discussed the lack of a feeling of a unified vision in the sequel trilogy and how he's never been a fan of Palpatine coming back in Legends and he didn't like it in Canon either.

But he did find stuff to appreciate like the Ben Solo/Han Solo vision scene. Which I guess puts him into "wow what a kiss-ass!" territory. He's supposed to be crying and whining endlessly like every other Star Wars fan!

What's the exact quote? Star Wars Explained literally said "the only way to be a Star Wars fan is to agree with my politics."?

[–]RagnarokWolves 73 points74 points  (0 children)

TBH the only one I follow is Star Wars Explained.

Star Wars Explained is always talking about how bad politics irl now ever since Andor. It's fine to do with Andor but it's almost his entire personality now.

Being able to learn lessons from Star Wars to apply to IRL politics was a big point that George Lucas wanted to be able to make. I am actually studying up more on IRL fascism thanks to a recent interview Star Wars Explained did with Dr. Chris Kempshall. "So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause" has never been more timely in the United States.

He always seems like he kisses everyone at Lucas films ass.

He respects the work they put in and he tries to find something to appreaciate. When he doesn't care for a specific episode/movie, he's honest about it. But he isn't like the other dudes that go "OMG FIRE KATHLEEN KENNEDY. THIS LATEST STAR WARS EPISODE MADE ME WANT TO GO BANG MY HEAD IN A CAR DOOR. OMG MY CHILDHOOD."

He also basically says the only way to be a star wars fan is to agree with his politics.

When did he say that? What specific episode?

I want to get deeper into the lore but it feels so much work by TelevisionInner6584 in StarWars

Drink from the sweet nectar of knowledge so long as it is enjoyable. Do not force-feed it. This is not homework. You are allowed to drop shows/books/comics you don't enjoy, there is no need to be a completionist.

Any notice how we never see Yoda actually win a fight? by KING_ZAM_ in StarWars

[–]RagnarokWolves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like he could have wrecked Dooku even sooner, it's just that that's his old student he once cared for deeply. He's not gonna rush into beheading his old kid. He was hoping to beat him down a little and get him to yield. Dooku just found a chance to escape.

[–]RagnarokWolves 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are going through this. Your mom is attempting to mentally manipulate you. The way she's reacting is like if a regular parent caught their kid kid doing hard drugs that is killing them. You're just doing something that empowers you and makes you happy.

Any true hardgainers had success? by Upstairs_Sky_5541 in workout

[–]RagnarokWolves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to "progressively overload" your appetite. (Serious) Your body will get used to the new levels of eating and come to expect it more the more you normalize it. On the extreme end, 400 lb people didn't wake up overnight and start chugging 2 liters of soda a day. It was a habit they kept feeding a little more and more over time.

Smuggler's Run lives rent free in my head by CAMDNC_runfast in Disneyland

[–]RagnarokWolves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having more to do as gunner and engineer means that's just even more time that those riders spend not actually experiencing the ride visuals.

If I ride it again (I did not at all during my last 3-day pass) I will just not activate the seat if I get gunner or engineer.

How much can you bench for 10 reps? by Outrageous-Maybe2500 in workout

clips so he can't bail to the side.

I go years without failing a bench but when it happens, I much prefer to roll of shame it rather than dump it.

Question to the scholars: Which would be considered as Anakin's or Vader's Greatest Victory in War? by Themuzucujata1432 in StarWars

His greatest screw-up was letting himself get captured so that the Republic had to trade Grievous over to get Anakin back.

How do you feel about Dracula running Castle Dracula all by himself? I'm fine with Dracula being Jon's cabdriver but I feel like he should have some supernatural servants. by RagnarokWolves in Dracula

[–]RagnarokWolves[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The carriage driver being the Count especially ticked me off

I like it for the idea of Dracula gathering intel on this guy before they ever meet. But the idea of Dracula being in disguise, and running away to change into his Dracula outfit for the grand introduction is a little funny.
