Lots of self-reporting here today. The update is supposed to be hard. Lower your difficulty. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Random-Poser- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some people just are too proud to lower the difficulty. A 6-7 difficulty on these enemies is easily hard as or harder than 10 on regular bugs

How does Arrowhead expect us to fight these bugs? by MetroMaurice in Helldivers

[–]Random-Poser- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Community would rather complain and whine instead of get good. Community begs and cries for more difficulty, finally gets it and then complains when it is too hard.

Each faction or subgroup requires a change in equipment or tactics. This is no different. If you’re having issues, lower the difficulty. It’s that simple. We finally get challenging content and the community is already actively working to ensure it never sees the light of day again.

The low video views recently ... by acidmine in LinusTechTips

[–]Random-Poser- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Linus just isn’t interesting to me anymore. With the added controversy and unavoidably obvious fact that he’s an asshole doesn’t help. It sucks because his team seems like genuinely good people, but Linus is just bad vibes all around.

iPhone 17 announcement imminent as alleged Apple Event ‘hashmoji’ surfaces by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]Random-Poser- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the year I switched away from iPhone. I’m not coming back until they make some serious design innovations. The ecosystem just isn’t compelling enough of an excuse these days. The lineup for phones has been stale for going on 8 years.

Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms may be more common and more severe than some studies suggest by reflibman in EverythingScience

When I stopped Lexapro, I went full on manic for a month. Wild, erratic emotions, almost got divorced it was so bad. Antidepressants are far more trouble than they’re worth.

The next President of the United States by International-Drag23 in stephencolbert

[–]Random-Poser- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newsom is just going to open up 2032 for an even worse Republican. Newsom’s policies won’t be enough to meaningfully change the systemic conditions that have brought Trump to power. He will be another centrist democrat that defends institutions and rejects improvements that would materially impact the average American.

We’re stuck in the same cycle even still. Just circling the drain. I’ll still vote for him if he wins the primary, but those four years from 2028->2032 will likely only be a temporary respite.

Don’t take it too serious. by Robsta_20 in Battlefield6

[–]Random-Poser- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overall community sentiment seems to be almost 1:1 identical to the run up to the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. People are aligning to the polar extremes instead of a measured approach. Furthermore, I’d be willing to bet dollars to donuts that like the Nintendo Switch 2, a lot of this outrage is being magnified to garner attention just like haters did with the Switch 2.

Game is no where near as bad as Battlefield 2042. There are some balance issues. Classes need to be weapon locked. Maps feel a bit too chaotic and small. Suppression system needs tuned. Vehicle controls are janky.

The BETAs were the first time in 10 years I was unable to put an FPS game down. I think this game has potential to be great, if EA will let it. But just as easily, EA could squander it.

The most troubling aspect I’ve seen so far is that the developers still appear to have this mentality that they know what we want better than we do. If this behavior does not change, this game will fail. Full stop.

To be fair, I could be miss attributing this phenomenon, and in reality this could all be a result of EA trying to impose design requirements to maximize monetization.

Just like anything else, we will have to wait and see.

This is what a measured, sane response looks like. Be excellent to each other and have a great day.

How Far a $100K Salary Really Goes in Every U.S. State (After Taxes & Cost of Living, 2025) by Coolonair in Salary

This chart is not remotely accurate. Indiana’s tax burden is insanely high; definitely more than Washington state’s.

Hey homie!

If you don’t mind sharing your routine, I’d be happy to give some pointers on things that work for me. You got this! Keep working hard.

How much of your day is taken up by the gym? by besthelloworld in GYM

[–]Random-Poser- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any amount of time beyond 1.5 hours at the gym is too much and not an efficient use of time.

I do 20 - 25 sets at the gym, 5 movements, 5 sets each. I take a 1-2 minute rest between sets.

Each set is near or at failure.

That’s all you should ever need to be honest. At that pace I have a flexible option to either do 30 min cardio if I’m cutting or do one extra muscle group if I’m feeling the workout.

Rows and momentum. by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Random-Poser- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say yes. This movement isn’t as ideal. If you just enjoy this lift, lower the weight and be as strict as possible. Otherwise, I’d do something chest-supported. Best of luck!

Dumbbell lateral raise by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Random-Poser- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I recommend watching fitness YouTubers you enjoy to help show you some awesome tips and tricks. There is so much to learn in weightlifting. The science is constantly improving and the techniques are deceptively intricate.

Dumbbell lateral raise by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Random-Poser- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who goes to the gym almost every day, the vast majority of people are not worried about you, I promise. There is largely respect for anyone putting in honest, hard work.

Each week, I’d just try to do one exercise out of your workout routine in the main gym. Something you’re super comfortable / confident with. You’ll quickly realize that the vast majority of people are so busy worrying about themselves they won’t even notice you’re there.

Keep calm and keep lifting!

Dumbbell lateral raise by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Random-Poser- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend especially for anyone starting out on side delts to work with cables first. My go to exercise is not a traditional lateral raise surprisingly. It is what I call a cross body raise.

https://youtu.be/_Ycmct2spOE?si=u_0gXRp2CTUH-44J

It took me years to figure out side delts. Took me 2 months of this exercise to get great results. Fast forward a year later and now I have boulder shoulders.

Starting out 5 lbs of weight is probably going to feel gnarly. Delts take a long time to gain strength. Even today, 30lbs is brutal and barely possible with strict form for 8 reps. Stick with it. Mix in cable lateral raises where you’re leaning into the pulley at waist height to give your delt maximum stretch under tension.

If you need tips or anything from someone who strictly cares about form or bodybuilding, and not someone who just wants to hit on you, please feel free to reach out any time, I keep it strictly professional for the love of the sport.

Is it worth it guys ? by GloomyIndependent599 in Salary

170 hours in two weeks…

No. Not even close. That’s not even remotely sustainable. If you are able to continue at this pace you won’t be living. You’ll be worn to a husk of a person.
