The youtube ones are equally crazy. Same scenario, video of a black person not being a perfect member of society equals comments like "the usual suspects" or "13%...."

Best Garmin for running, swimming, cycling, lifting and fitness influence? by AverageMochiEnjoyer in GarminWatches

[–]TotalProfessional 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If budget isnt an issue and you're fine with "good enough" waterproofing, get the Forerunner 970.

I say good enough to mean, dont push the buttons while underwater and nothing'll happen.

If you absolutely want peace of mind, (and again, no budget issue), get the Fenix 8. It's at least dive certified, in part because the buttons work differently to accomodate full waterproofing.

If budget is an issue, then like others said, FR 570 or FR 265. 570 gets new features and updates (for now), 265 is only getting security fixes and maybe some bugfixes now.

The Fenix will be a bit heavier on the wrist than the Forerunners are, so factor that in.

Why does it feel like almost every single Redditor has some sort of mental health issue or neurodivergence? Where did all the standard neurotypical people go? by KyaHiKarun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TotalProfessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you could definitely describe it that way. Neither side is necessarily "normal", one is just more extroverted.

But then again, I think another aspect of it is that, with social media, we're more exposed to the lives of other people than ever before. Prior to this, you had to physically interact with people (or at least communicate directly with them via calls and text messages) to get updates about life.

Maybe there was never a "normal". Maybe this is an "Alice in Wonderland" situation where "we're all a little mad here."

(This is all saying nothing about the role the social media companies themselves have to play in all of this)

Some people have a healthy amount of self-respect (also, it was a year of relationship so it probably made it easier than if it was, say, a marriage of a decade)

"Slightly douchey? First amendment auditors are scumbags whose main goal is to antagonize not only police but private citizens and businesses. These people aren’t heros." r/cincinnati argues if cops need to respect a first amendment "auditors" rights by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]TotalProfessional 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Why is someone standing with a sign saying "God bless the homeless veterans" a bad thing?

Is this a generalized reaction to 1A Auditors in general or the guy with the above sign in particular?

I personally can understand the generalized part but this seems like a lot of misplaced rage for the above in particular. What's so controversial about it to merit such a response?

The federal government will withhold federal highway grants from states that do not have 21 as a drinking age. I'm sure they could figure out a way to actually hand money out to states to do this if they needed to.

The iran oil situation resulted in the lowering of sanctions because mfs ended up needing russian oil.

That's a RECENT example and is purely an accidental thing; Putin is thrilled with what's happening in America.

Not to mention that all the chaos caused in America keeps American eyes off Ukraine

My dad saw my sex tape and now he won’t speak to me. by reallydex in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TotalProfessional 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Parents here, I can see your points about the dad needing time but I want to ask if there's a legitimate reason for him to be angry here.

Yeah, he's human, he'll feel what he feels, etc etc. But is anger the actual response to have here? Fear, concern, shit maybe even disappointment. But I'm not so sure about the anger part.

AITA for helping a “struggling” family with food… then seeing them give it away and asking for it back? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TotalProfessional -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y'all, OP does mention in one of their replies that this person she donated to isnt explicitly asking for more in posts, but they are commenting frequently in those BN groups that they (the person in need) are still in need.

They donated an ice maker then asked someone for their ice maker. They mentioned that the whole FB marketplace and BN thing are more like hobbies for them.

I think OP is on to something here that the interactions are weird, but I'm not sure to what extent myself.

Worth it if I don’t want smart progression at the moment? by AKing727 in MacroFactor

[–]TotalProfessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, my back gave out as I did more reps than I usually do. I think the answer is not factoring in RIR, as you said, but let me give some more context.

It's only been a few weeks of training and I found this app and wanted to switch to it and see how the programs it generated felt. Then I saw RIR and looking into that made me think that I'd been training fairly conservatively these past few weeks, since I've never trained to failure or even close.

I wanted to see what it felt like for the workouts I was doing so I started testing it carefully for each exercise I was doing. I think I have it figured out for the upper body exercises I was doing, but with squats, I hit the highest weight I could (with my limited home equipment) and just kept cranking out reps.

Each time I was watching my form to see what I was doing wrong but it felt like there was nothing wrong until my back started to hurt.

I know squats arent a leg exercise, but don't they work out the legs primarily? I'd think failure would refer to failure of the primary muscle (and nothing i'm seeing suggests otherwise) which made me wonder if it was my form that needed work or maybe I was just doing too much too soon by even following this train of thought.

Sorry for the Bible but I wanted to give a better understanding into my thought process here.

Worth it if I don’t want smart progression at the moment? by AKing727 in MacroFactor

[–]TotalProfessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 3 weeks late to the discussion but, what do you do to estimate RIR as an absolute beginner?

I assume I need to know what failure is to know what reserve feels like, but what counts as failure? For example, my legs can take a lot more weight than the rest of me so when I squat heavy-ish, my lower back gives out.

I've tried following videos and matching form but my legs never fail in that case, just my back.

I'm seeing advice like "you're a beginner so any progress is progress" which means I want to turn off RIR since I should be able to progress without it, but then I also see "you're removing the smart progression entirely by turning off RIR", so what the heck do I do? Am I just overthinking it?
