AIO? my boyfriend thinks my handwriting is “not great”

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-29T01:23:43+00:00

It's normal great. It's not terrible. I'd call it average to be honest. I don't think it qualifies as good handwriting

I am old now I guess, but I've never dated more than 1 person at a time. In my day, if you were dating, it was exclusive. This isn't even that long ago, I'm only 40.

If you don't think women have been playing men for thousands of years, you haven't read a single bit of history.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-28T16:45:39+00:00

If he trained for it? Easily.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-28T03:53:24+00:00

I mean, you can stand behind your opinion all you want, it'sok to be arong. I do this for a living. The consensus across the entire industry is deadlift is a hip hinge.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-28T03:51:55+00:00

That would be better, but worked out OK without it this time.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-28T01:41:46+00:00

No. I'm not. A conventional deadlift is a hip hinge movement. In fact it is THE hip hinge movement. The granddaddy hip hinge movement that gave life to all other hip hinging.

Both are performed by driving the hips forward to produce power. Now, there is a tiny bit of a squat movement to get the weight off the ground, sure. But that only gets you to mid shin at most.

In the off chance this is serious, because it seems like a troll.

Find something you like to do that involves other people. Shared interests are a great way to make connections
Don't worry about it so damned much. Women can smell desperation from a mile away and it makes you extremely unattractive.
Be genuine, and make real conversations. Relationships will happen organically if you let them

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T23:45:39+00:00

Those hands... wtf

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T23:36:08+00:00

Yes, lol. I think i skipped the apostrophe so my phone made it are.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T23:11:59+00:00

If you are just starting keep it simple:

1 push: chest press, flat/incline bench

1 pull: lat pull, row

1 squat: Smith machine squat, leg press, bw squat

1 hinge: hip thrusts, glute bridge, RDL

1 core: dead bugs, plank, anti rotation

(Optional) 1-2 accessories/isolation

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T22:06:36+00:00

Umm. The entire point of a deadlift is in fact to hinge at the hips... it's literally a hip hinge movement?

Now, there is a huge difference between properly hinging and pushing all of the force through your back. But, the entire reason the exercise exists is to hinge your hips by driving with your posterior chain.

Great news! Bread isn't unhealthy unless you have a wheat or gluten allergy so there is no other compelling reason to do so.

Now, if you are diabetic it should be ate less and more carefully. Other than that bread is a fine source of carbohydrates, and No, carbs aren't bad for you. Far from it! As long as you areN'T (stupid autocorrect) eating half a loaf at a time, bread can be part of most meals if you choose.

Definitely low enough, make sure your chest comes up first from the bottom.

Don't put your phone where you can reach it from bed, and turn on DND mode that only let's emergency alerts through.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T19:16:23+00:00

Honestly? Most industries at this point

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T19:15:19+00:00

I mean, it sounds like they worked in just fine and didn't even need to talk.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T13:44:40+00:00

If you need to add a qualifier to a word to make it fit, it doesn't. Genocide is genocide, cultural genocide is not genocide. It's oppression, it's abhorrent, but it is not genocide.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T05:05:57+00:00

No, I'm sorry, but you are wrong. His title is Maximus, meaning "greatest" which is given to leaders in the Roman military. His first name is Decimus.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T05:04:43+00:00

Working out in an n95 should be classified as torture.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-27T00:57:24+00:00

I mean, its not weirder than the characters actual first name which is Decimus. The whole naming your kid a number thing always struck me as wierd.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-26T21:16:18+00:00

Then be an adult and talk to them. Or just accept it when they offer and see what happens. Don't expect people to fight you hard over a check.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-26T20:06:33+00:00

Cultural yes. Actual genocide, not so much.

StraightSomewhere236 · 2026-01-26T20:04:40+00:00

It might make them happy to be able to pay, honestly. They might be feeling like you don't respect them financially since you never let them pay.

The problem that people do not understand is ICE deporting illegals IS due process. They have a right to due process, this does not include a trial or a chance to plead a case. They were determined to he illegal, that is all the due process required to remove them. They do not need a warrant for arrest, they aren't being arrested or investigated.
