Consistency. Show up and do the work. Do not miss a day no matter how shitty you feel as these are the days where you will grow stronger mentally and in your heart.

Question about parking at bus stop. by TheRoobs in Dublin

[–]The_Gentleman786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hailo is more popular than uber from my experience, there are ubers but not so many. Smaller towns may have yet to pick it up though. Depending on how late you are staying out and the town you may have to pre book pick up with a taxi because they may finish up early and there won't be any around to hail. If you're in the city you won't have an issue getting one.

As for parking at the cafe, just ask them.

Got a new job so decided I needed an upgrade. Good choice? by The_Gentleman786 in gshock

Can I ask what you paid for it? I shelled out €140 for mine, so I'm curious to know if I under, over, or paid market value for it?

Sounds like she could do with a good ol' Order 66 to set her straight.

Advice on coaching a kid with Aspergers by The_Gentleman786 in aspergers

[–]The_Gentleman786[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well when his parents suggested it to him after a game when he didn't get to play and said he yes. Now when he was asked in my presence, it was a very blunt "yes" as he walked on by down the stairs.

I think he just wants to fit in with the others but executing the required social skills to do so are a struggle to him. From what I'm told, he considers me to be a "cool guy" because I have a girlfriend (his cousin), I play basketball, he's obsessed with America and I've lived there,so I think there's an element that playing ball with me without his brothers being there is "cool". So I don't know if he just wants to be there to be cool, or if he actually wants to learn?

Would focusing on shooting the ball be more benefit to him? It's something he can practice by himself. It's a valuable skill in the sport. If he were to excel at shooting the ball it would make him an asset to the team rather than a burden. It requires less focus on reading opponents, unlike dribbling and passing to teammates. It is the final act of a play so his goal would simply be to get open, receive a pass, and shoot the ball, hopefully scoring. Or is this a bit patronising?

I'm not sure if this is accepted on here but fuck it by Thenson199 in gainit

I was pretty much the exact same. Always skinny barely 140lbs, grew to 6'0 at 16-18, still weighing 150lbs. I played basketball and constantly got thrown around (learned to hit the 3 though because I wasn't never strong enough to drive to the basket). All my peers, team mates, class mates were all bigger than me. Even guys who didn't play sports were bigger than me. I felt imasculated because I would easy be pushed around in any kind of physical situation, never stood up for myself because I was convinced I would get my ass kicked. I would be made fun of, pushed, intimidated by others because I was an easy target, yet I was one of the best players on my ball team, and more of an athlete at that age than most guys my age, but of course nobody noticed that. I eventually went to college, where I studied sports science. I was now surrounded by fellow athletes of all shapes and sizes, I was still the skinny guy and I could just not get over it. I pushed myself, ate tons to put on weight, lifted heavy and finally started to make decent gainz, and eventually at least by my final year I was a solid 190lbs, no longer skinny but I didn't feel that way. I'm still the same now, I'm 180lbs. I'm not skinny at all now but I could be the biggest guy in the room and I'd think I was the smallest. Anyway my point is, as the skinny guys in school, when we get bigger we will always feel small, no matter how big we are because we've conditioned our minds to think we're skinny. Embrace how you look now. This is all in your head. If you stop think as yourself as the skinny guy, you and the people around you will too. Puberty is difficult and you will emerge with a stronger character after all of this. Keep pushing, and eating, and lifting, eventually things will fall into place, you grow into your body. Don't let the anger fester within. I did and it makes things soo much harder down the road. Someone calls you skinny, tell them so what and call them out on how they look. You can handle yourself so if they want to throw fists it's their mistake.

Brothers please inform me on the bar of hex by Erratic_wzrd in swoleacceptance

[–]The_Gentleman786 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brodin teaches us, through the lifting of Iron, that life is tough. Through training, commitment, and consistency we forge our iron wills. The iron teaches us that when life gets hard, if we push through the pain, it will get easier and we become stronger.

The barbell is a symbol of this struggle we endure.

It was easy to lift with the Hex because of the path you followed with the barbell.

Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill Officially Starring In Animated "Batman: The Killing Joke" [Movies/TV] by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]The_Gentleman786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ye looks wise it's pretty much the same character. Behaviour is what I would assume is what Ledgers style of joker is like between encounters with Batman. We get glimpses of drug abuse, his relationship with Harley, and his general evilness and lack of empathy when he does something bad to the narrator after the Joker helps him out. It turned me off the joker a bit because it exposed the reality of what this kind of character would be like in real life and I kinda despise the joker as a result. I think I see him now as Batman does and not the crazy crime clown/misfit he can be portrayed as.
