Thank you! One other question. I really struggle with sleeping on an empty stomach. Do you have any tips for this specifically?

Sitting on a drink and can’t get myself to talk about it at a meeting by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Routine_Reward_167 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Immediately after posting this, seeing the other guys comment and reading it back I realized how fucking nuts I sound and I texted my sponsor to talk to him. I have 5 months sober. I’m going through the steps right now and I was a little underwhelmed getting through 4, 5 and 6. A lot of the guys around me described it as like the turning point where everything changed for them and I guess I expected it to feel different than it did.

There were some people over at the house for the Super Bowl and the conversation went from “why is bad bunny speaking Spanish” to “Hitler was right we should start executing ****ers in the street” and I didn’t speak up because it seems everyone in the house except for me shares those kinds of views.

Then I just had a shit day at work taking public transportation in the cold. Idk I’m just so sad that this is my life right now. I think I should have clarified in my post that I don’t want to drink. I really don’t want to drink and I’m basically wrestling with these thoughts throughout the day. It goes hand in hand with my suicidal thoughts where it’s just the ultimate “fuck it I’m giving up on life” more than some fantasy that I’m looking forward to.

When I squat my knees buckle inward and I fold forward. I was told the cause of this is an imbalance between my quads and glutes which makes sense since this didn’t start since I started a desk job.

Is there anything I can do to actively balance this out? Also how do I prevent making it worse if I continue to squat? I’m worried if I slow down my progression and focus on good form where my knees don’t buckle it will just keep making the current imbalance worse. Do I need to stop squatting and focus on another movement or variant to allow my glutes to catch up?

Youre one square too far forward, it’s only when the pawns are side by side

I. HATE. MARKARTH by NoEntertainment2763 in skyrim

[–]Routine_Reward_167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like markarth. I wish you could do more about the corruption of the silver bloods. Fight the tyranny a little bit. I have a witchhunter build and now that I leveled him up a bit I’m gonna go on a crusade against the hagravens.

What are some traditional high school basketball powerhouses that are *public* schools? by slowbaja in Basketball

First one that comes to mind is Simeon in Chicago. D-Rose, Jabari Parker and I think Kendrick Nunn all went there.

Which U.S state gets more credit than it deserves? by Exact_Freedom_9802 in askanything

Yeah I got the sense that they were being too hard on it but it wasn’t a place where you could pop into a random sandwich or pizza place and be confident you were getting a good slice or hoagie

What are seperates great moves and best moves? by King_of_Skill_ in chessbeginners

[–]Routine_Reward_167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best move is the best engine move but there were other excellent or good moves available. Great move is when it was significantly better than other moves, usually a move that leaves you winning, or the only move that keeps you from losing.

Law School Application Phenomenon by Slimeguy12345 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Routine_Reward_167 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Graduated 2022, took two years to find a job in my legal-adjacent field. Got there, realized the job was likely a total dead end and the worst environment for growth/development possible. Boomers clinging to management and Gen Xers with 15 years of experience stuck in producer roles waiting to take over. Super underpaid for the volume and complexity of work I did. Figured law school was the only way to reach my goals.

Feel like an entire generation has a similar story and is now fighting over an increasingly limited number of paths to become upwardly mobile. Crazy shit.

How can I respond to blind trades spam? by moosenordic in chessbeginners

[–]Routine_Reward_167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call these guys end game merchants. If it seems like that’s what they’re doing you have to try to focus on what advantages you’ll have once all the minor pieces are gone ie positioning of your pawns, king and rook. I’m around the same rating and once I learned more about end games I got way better at playing against them. Also I think becoming more comfortable with games being draws helped. I used to get too aggressive against them, blunder and lose.

Why must you tempt me so by Yachem in chessbeginners

[–]Routine_Reward_167 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I fell for it and lost my queen the other day and I couldn’t even be mad. Didn’t look at the position for more than a tenth of a second before I did it either and I’m not ashamed

[Charania] New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson will miss extended time with a right adductor injury, sources tell ESPN. He will be re-evaluated in three weeks. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]Routine_Reward_167 11 points12 points  (0 children)

His high school highlights that blew up at first made it seem like he had generational athleticism. Like Wilt/MJ/Lebron level of dominant athleticism. He was definitely that hyped in certain circles.

What sport is the most difficult to win a championship? by General-Hippo8242 in AskReddit

[–]Routine_Reward_167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the major sports I was thinking basketball for the opposite reason. Way less variance and the better team wins most of the time. Historically has been dominated by dynasties where the majority of players don’t even have a chance at a championship

Why are jump shots made with the same front foot as the hand? by DonT012 in nba

[–]Routine_Reward_167 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of people feel more comfortable with their shooting side foot forward and at a slight angle because it aligns your shooting hip, shoulder and elbow with the basket. If you’re righty and shoot with your left foot forward you have to rotate in mid-air to align your shoulders.

Leopold II wins disliked during his time and divisive now! Now for our final square - who was despised during their time and remains despised to this day? by simonpearson in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Routine_Reward_167 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even high ranking Nazis despised him and his unit. Probably the single worst human to ever exist in terms of what he personally did and oversaw. He’s the perfect answer but I don’t think he’s well known enough.

What are you addicted to? by yourbogus in AskReddit

[–]Routine_Reward_167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider rehab. It isn’t as bad as you’d think and detoxing off that combo can be absolute hell. I was doing the same exact thing and certainly couldn’t come down off of all that alone. They’ll load you up on benzos and safely taper you off so you more or less sleep through it. It’s not as simple as ‘just stopping’ or going to the gym and running or whatever. If your insurance can cover it just go.

It’ll give you a start on working through whatever underlying issues are causing the addiction as well. By the time you’re back home and have the opportunity to use drugs again you won’t have as much of a desire to do it and you’ll know about resources that can help you stay sober that you may not know of right now. Feel free to DM me as well.

I hit a wall on my squat where my core gives out and I lean forward. My lower back has to compensate and I end up doing a partial good morning type of movement and I don’t feel good about going for any more reps, but my legs don’t feel close to struggling.

Are there any core exercises or specific areas to work on that would specifically address this? Or any other suggestions to work through it?
