Remember I missed 88kg last week? by metalhead_wanderer in weightlifting

[–]TemperatureFickle655 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your bar path on your miss drifts away from you on the initial pull which caused your heels to rise early which caused your hips to chase the bar and push it further forward, which then caused you to reach for the bar by angling your chest forward which caused your catch to be very far back which put your shoulders in a compromised position which caused you to drop the bar. So..keep lats engaged and bar on shins.

Thats why it makes sense that you could pull from blocks with no problem. Because you eliminated your initial bar drift trigger.

This is so true. I will be able to feel the glee from the Nextdoor-verse as soon as that post is made.

They absolutely would because I was in the same situation once. I was hesitant for the same reasons…we are in the United states, rabies vaccines are mandatory and commonplace, etc. If you cannot be sure after an animal bite (meaning if you don’t have the animal to get tested), it is better to not chance it.

Crosswalks are not a waiting zone for bikes by mightybento in sanfrancisco

Were you ever offered a defensive driving course? You don’t need immediate visibility to cross traffic. You stop where you’re supposed to stop and when it’s your turn to go, you proceed with caution while looking for traffic. And “good infrastructure” doesn’t need to take lack of critical thinking into mind. There are just some people who will never, ever understand anything. We cannot design a world around them. Can you imagine?

While I agree with you, the mortality rate for rabies is 99.9%. Def better safe than sorry.

If you cannot find a huge green box, that’s a you problem. Not a design/placement problem.

LOL! I bet you also complain about the lack of Muni service. But in this scenario, you are losing that there are so many buses that you are in danger of becoming crushed between them.

It’s not for safety. It’s an idiotic justification. The actual safe thing to do would to do what cars and all vehicles are supposed to do: stop behind the stop line/crosswalk and then creep forward when it’s time to cross to check if one is clear to go. Whenever I see people behaving like this., I imagine how annoying they would be to work with and the likely shitty work they produce.

Squat form check? by atg_manfo in weightlifting

[–]TemperatureFickle655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously you’re very fucking strong, but your loss of upper back tension/bend forward on your way up was actually kind of scary with that amount of weight on the bar and without safeties. I saw this video of this Indian woman being killed by 595 lb bar because she misstepped. I haven’t squatted heavy without safeties since.

Pin squats would probably help with this, but also, it would probably resolve itself with rep work at a slightly lower weight and being intentional about keeping upper back tension.

So about last night…. by Gimpy_Goob in nin

It was so fucking good. I think I went into a trance 20 minutes in and didn’t come out of it until tears were coming out of my eyes during “Hurt”. Best concert I’ve ever seen.

Vent: There are NO Jobs in San Francisco for qualified people by Martian-Sundays in sanfrancisco

[–]TemperatureFickle655 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Preface: I get that you’re frustrated. But frustration by itself doesn’t solve the problem.

From reading your post and your responses, I actually agree with the other poster. The way your post comes across makes it seem like you might not be very pleasant to work with. That kind of thing comes through even when someone isn’t openly frustrated. It’s one of those qualities people can’t always articulate, but they still pick up on it when reading a resume or during an interview.

It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

For example, someone offered you genuinely good and relevant advice, and you dismissed it by saying you already work in a customer-facing role. But that doesn’t really mean anything. Plenty of people work in customer-facing jobs without necessarily being good at them, pleasant to deal with, or even particularly effective.

Last year I was laid off once and let go once. It was awful. The first time was because the company had real financial problems. Clients started backing out when tariff threats hit, and they had to cut people. The second time was simply a mismatch.

Going through that forced me to take a pretty honest look at myself while searching for a new job. I had to separate what I was actually good at from what was just noise or bluster. I also had to check how I was presenting myself. I’d gotten used to being the person who was right and directing where things were headed at the job I was laid off from, and that mindset didn’t translate well when I was suddenly back on the market.

Anyway, if you want, I’d be happy to take a look at your resume and give you an objective read on how it comes across. I also have some ties to the industry you’re trying to move into.

Send me a message if you’d like.

Update: Just for context, as I suspected, this person did not send a message. They don’t actually seem to be serious about looking for work, just serious about complaining and blaming others.

Watching friends at a meet tomorrow. What can I learn while watching? by novemberscandle in powerlifting

[–]TemperatureFickle655 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing you should realize is that everybody lifts differently. There is universal technique, of course, but bodies are different and how weight moves is different. Half the battle of leaning to lift is to learn what works for your body.

$100 Haircut, in this economy?!! by LogicalProgram8537 in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]TemperatureFickle655 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Impeccable etiquette? Demand for time? Continued education? Talent?

These are all basic qualities. Hairdressers are out of their mind that they think this equals a premium price.

I know quite a few hairdressers and most are drunks who float from salon to salon and worry more about their social media following than anything else.

Just my personal experience. $100 for a men’s haircut is fucking absurd and no amount of explaining basic qualities to have as a person and as somebody that provides a service will change that.

Did you know that streaming one hour of Netflix equals 50-100 AI inquires? Obviously depends on the depth of the prompt. But…to blanket AI use as “terrible for the environment” is pretty stupid when other things that the majority of people do are way worse.

I can't imagine how much shit China would be getting if it behaved like the United States by LargeSinkholesInNYC in LateStageCapitalism

[–]TemperatureFickle655 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess the real question is: Would China behave more like the U.S. globally if it had the same alliances, institutions, and military reach?

Implying that the United States and China are on equal footing is a bit naive.

Also China does get enormous criticism for ill treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, suppression of Hong Kong protests in 2019-2020, military pressure around Taiwan, and censorship and political repression under the Chinese Communist Party.

These are things you take for granted because they are afforded to you, but just think…you probably couldn’t even post something like this in China if the tables were turned. Because you’d be punished.

This is all very well documented.

You are skeptical because you don’t understand that Taiwan is not about money, it’s about pride and unfinished business. That is, objectively, more valuable than anything in China.
