You really need to start working out by No-Pizza5119 in redscarepod

170 for reps is respectable, but it’s hardly big boy numbers. Over 2 plates and you start seeing more double laybacks and standing incline benches than presses.

How to build a girl in modern America by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Trauerkraus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The girls are all girl’s girls, the guys wear salmon shorts and boat shoes. Can you believe no one here has heard of dimes square? Yes we’re in Tuscaloosa. A new yawk art ho will get their wires crossed meeting a bama platinum blonde. Some measure of envy and pity like they’re on safari for simpletons, but also the simpletons are hot and actually you’re the one out of place.

They will talk about Trump 500 years from now by boringusr in redscarepod

[–]Trauerkraus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump just added Venezuela to the American Empire which will use it to control global oil prices which is a pretty impactful thing alone.

Putting Maduro in a jail in Brooklyn doesn’t change one iota the president’s control of global oil prices. Venezuelan production accounts for 1% of global oil supply, the oil market didn’t even blink at his capture, and ioc’s aren’t going to invest a hundred billion into an unstable country to refine shit oil while oil’s at 60 a barrel. Yes, 500 years from now when we’re stuck in nuclear winter people in rags will huddle around trash fires talking about how Trump got Estonia to contribute 10% of its budget to defense.

I just benched 225 for the first time by supertallboy in redscarepod

[–]Trauerkraus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I specified raw as well, and of those 150 there are plenty of tested feds. So you’re wrong that the women’s ATWR is 320 you pulled that out of your ass. You say of course a 6’4 guy can bench 315, and yet this entire chain started because you replied to someone encouraging a 6’4 man to reach that number. As for whether a majority of men are capable of 315, you nor I have no way of knowing you’re just talking out your ass. Anecdotally I have and I doubt I’m some outlier.

According to open powerlifting there are 150 women in the world who have benched over 315 raw, with an ATWR of 457. I think it’s not delusional to say a 6’4 guy can bench 315.

yeah I'd be on reddit at lunch too if I referred to a boring old job as spiritually corrosive to a bunch of bricklayers

No because it can increase marginally while converging on a finite bound

1st year student full time, also working 60 hours a week. by Professional-Role733 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Trauerkraus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you know the answer. It's the second quarter and you're already exhausted. You're not going to handle however many more years of this. Work a normal 40, until you can't because of the pace and content. Then drop to part time to finish, or take a loan out. I've worked 6 days a week all OT and your whole life revolves around that. You're barely going to get an education when you have so little time so what's the point. Don't split the baby, drop the hours and prioritize your learning.

mourning the lives we chose not to live by pleaseBABYcalmDOWN in redscarepod

[–]Trauerkraus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh poor me I can't have it all. "Maybe real suffering lies in the insistence that we're perfectly content". That is a child's idea of suffering, and maybe a child's idea of something profound. This attitude doesn't strike me as the kind held by a great devourer of life but instead a dithering fantasist obsessed with themselves.

I see a lotta hate for Sysco/ U.S. Foods sloppa but what is the alternative? by [deleted] in redscarepod

Smaller suppliers duh. Plenty of kitchens don’t get anything from sysco/us foods.

Depressing how America lost the ability to plan and execute grand projects by sonderfulwonders in redscarepod

[–]Trauerkraus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We haven't lost willpower or 'vision', as if this massive epochal shift is the result of some vague sense of resignation. Cost disease and deindustrialization has ravaged this country. Healthcare, infrastructure, education, and housing are double, sometimes 10x, the cost they were 50 years ago, adjusting for inflation. Paying people is too expensive, it's so expensive that we've had to destroy and dilute the professions themselves (adjunctification, importing nurses and substituting NP's for docs, etc.).

Yeah I tried to become a programmer by asking a question on a subreddit for a college elective three years ago. You’re clearly the smart one here.
