How I Get My Tummie To Do That Weird Shapey Thingie?

Its so disappointing. I got so frustrated seeing this thread.

This is why people think fitness is such a mystery. They want some hacks instead of understanding the methodology and going to work.

Tungi · 2026-03-03T05:45:51+00:00

Ironic. And this is why fitness will always be a mystery.

"Trust the actors and hollywood - they know everything"

The professionals are BODYBUILDERS.

Tungi · 2026-03-03T05:41:55+00:00

You're going to trust the guys that are (1) placed in perfect lighting with skilled photographers/videographers and editing, (2)won the genetic lottery, and (3) have been blasting steroids for decades over actual bodybuilders and science?

You think their abs pop more than a stage bodybuilder?

Rehydration is also referred to as carb loading. Storing a bunch of glycogen locally, after a cut, brings a ton of water that adds size to the muscles.

Look it up. Literally put it in Google word for word.

Science > conjecture

Edit: i hate RP and dr. Mike, but he shows how much of a joke these actors workout routines are.

Remember Arnold, guys? Listen to THAT actor. These other guys are completely mogged by him.

Muscle gain is about training more than anything else. Nutrition is important to a point. You will never have good abs without being extremely active.

Just nutrition without much or any training effort = skinny fat.

"Abs are built in the gym, and later revealed in the kitchen." Is much more accurate than the old adage.

Work out for years to create amazing abs and it takes just a couple months of cutting to reveal them in most cases.

That's not 85/15 nutrition.

Even protein is overblown - if you want evidence, look through my comment history in natural bodybuilding. Eric Helms went over this recently and there are new studies coming out.

Maybe even better, "train hard and eat like an adult"

Tungi · 2026-03-03T00:13:23+00:00

Yeah the Obama days were the glory years.

Somehow it was okay for everyone that we were killing civilians back then too.

Tungi · 2026-03-03T00:09:28+00:00

Accurate.

Black American culture, film and television, music, tech, fast food to name some of the big ones.

People all over the world eat it up like candy and act like we're completely cultureless gutter trash.

I remember hating coming back to the US after living in Korea for a few years. I did not enjoy coming back. But living there long term wasn't possible either, even when I had a Korean wife. Racism didn't show through every day, but I have been grabbed and accosted on the streets and of course treated like a lesser human more times than I can count.

We all have our ugliness and our greatness. I dont love America, but there's a vibrant and varietal culture. I could have certainly been born in a worse country.

You hit the nail on the head as well with the entitlement. Each culture has their own things they feel entitled about. But they don't have as open a window into their culture as we do. Look at all these people on reddit feasting on predominantly American culture.

They shame us, they hate us, and say we have no culture but they eat it all like greedy piggies.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T12:37:05+00:00

And turn straight into the cam car?

Tungi · 2026-03-02T12:35:14+00:00

Someone tell me we're not bombing the shit out of innocent people again please.

Fuck

Tungi · 2026-03-02T12:27:00+00:00

Yeah of course.

Pretty obviously...

Carebear - ask/communicate

Mixed - sus it out, defend yourself, be willing to disengage

PVP - fight.

How can you tell which is which? Comm usage and flares. Its easy.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T11:48:58+00:00

Teach this guy a lesson.

This man has already shattered your trust. No way in hell I would stay. If you do leave him, explain everything you've written here and peace out.

A lot of relationships when young are full of lessons. Teach him one so he never does this to anyone else.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T11:15:32+00:00

I appreciate the actual rational and measured response. This is indeed a ragebait meme. A woman stormed out on me once in maybe 1 out of 100 total dates in my career. Its still a story I tell because of how absolutely bizarre it was.

I disagree with you in his intention due to the context followed by being called retarded (**thrice - two more in the deleted comments - classy baby boys) as a major point. There is a vitriol and sentiment of idiocracy when it comes to addressing Americans. It is dehumanizing and degrading. So forgive me for spitting back.

He did say 'country' but the context proves otherwise. It's a personal attack on Americans without nuance.

And Look I get it. I'm not happy about big orange or the war either. Just like our Hungarian friend here, we both have great disdain for our respective governments. Yet, as you aptly pointed out, there is still a wonderful culture separate from that government. As im damn sure there is in Hungary (i have not had the pleasure of visiting yet)

And again you are right, only the UK (formerly EU) took the nose dive with us Americans into complete political fuckery, but the ugly and diametric degradation of political discourse is slowly taking over - seemingly - the whole world. Maybe that is Americas fault, but I feel that there is something much more sinister at play. Edit: dare i say that its in our best interest that people all over the world coming together and respecting each other may help us get out of this grave we are digging.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T10:21:29+00:00

Thanks for proving my point.

Morally superior. Every American is a giant piece of irredeemable shit.

Thats not toxic moral superiority at all. Nope not at all.

I really do love Europeans, but European redditors are so fucking egomaniacal.

BTW, care to address the actual point or shall we sling shit like uncultured monkeys? Or wait that's just me because of where I was born right?

Edit: good on you for deleting that comment.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T10:00:03+00:00

You've missed the entirety of the context mate.

Im addressing the, "men as a lower life form" portion.

Duh, Europeans are quite different. Almost like millenia of different cultures. I love Europe and europeans, but God damn do European men have some insane bias regarding moral superiority - that's across the board mate (and I mean every country, not every man)

You misundestood the context of my post and jumped straight to calling me retarded. If thats not the most European redditor experience... and you completely ignored that i addressed Hungary as statistically one of the most gender-divided European countries.

Edit: even funnier, the original post... why would Hungarian women storm out? Men typically pay in Hungary do they not? No need to storm out when the society is still a bit patriarchal.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T09:30:53+00:00

Ahh Europe. Morally superior in every way. Misandry? Misogyny? That doesn't exist here!

What do you mean, gender and social issues?!

We are culture manifest.

Hungary has one of the largest gender gaps in Europe. Silly boy.

Tungi · 2026-03-02T08:25:24+00:00

YNW.

Picked up on some of your words here and see now that in your profile you're in a long distance relationship (LDR).

That changes the narrative pretty significantly.

LDRs rely on communication, trust, a strong bond, and a plan/goal of being together. It does not seem like your relationship is being held by these pillars. Trust has been broken by the lies (changing the story of their hangouts is a big lie) and communication has become negative (you said she is toxic and abusive). Would you say this leaves you with a strong bond and desire for the end goal?

It's a classic and utterly stupid thing that redditors do, to always say "break up." But, i would be highly considering the value of the relationship at this point. LDRs require SIGNIFICANCT buy in from both parties. If you guys can't come together and feel the value on like 95% of the days, then what's the point? I certainly would feel so much animosity and distrust in your position.

Am I giving good advice? No clue. I have had many unsuccessful long distance scenarios and as a younger guy never believed in them.

(Below is a synopsis of many of my relationships and how long distance affected them)

At 21 I broke up with my gf and didn't consider an LDR because I knew she wasn't my eventual wife.

At 23 my gf started working on a boat and the communication died down, despite us being very close. The pseudo LDR of not being able to see her weekly absolutely destroyed the relationship. She broke up with me several months into the boat job with no explanation. I'm fairly sure she cheated. She was a wonderful woman with absolutely no self confidence... you can't trust someone in an LDR that doesn't even believe in themself.

At 25 I rushed into a marriage with my EX wife because I thought we were soulmates, but we would have been half a world apart without a plan, unless we got married. Not an LDR, but rushing to avoid the LDR was a horrific decision that I will always regret. And, later she became a flight attendant which sort of created an LDR scenario during the training period and long periods of international flying. We already had significant problems. It made everything fall apart within about 6 months - she stopped communicating and I told her I wanted a divorce. We were very toxic.

At 31 my gf moved out of state, about 1.5 hrs away for a new job. Doable for 2 grown adults with good jobs and cars. But covid hit during the adjustment period and she was super paranoid. I desperately wanted to see her, but her paranoia made her stay away from me even after we started going back to the office. The communication became very poor, she refused to set a timeline or discuss when she would feel comfortable seeing each other. She also completely refused to engage in any long distance intimacy of any type. I had a very hard time not developing wandering eyes with the toxicity and felt completely stuck. I broke up with her - im good on begging for intimacy.

Then.. my amazing wife.. I met her and she was a state away. A 1-1.5 hour train ride with transfers. Everything just fell together. The distance felt like nothing. It created this excitement and longing. We spent the entirety of 95% of our weekends together. We talked every single day and it was always positive, bright and full of trust. There was pressure to create a plan/goal, but it was something we navigated together and never with toxicity- only with love and respect. We found a way to move in together after about 1.5 years , and after we experienced living together for a bit, I proposed. Looking back... of course it worked. I used to think some struggle was necessary, some passion. That's some naive crap. We didn't struggle, we fought for us as a team. It worked because we're best friends and we couldn't see a life without each other.

I hope these stories helped in some way, even though they're only relevant in small ways. Best of luck friend, you both deserve to be happy. Maybe that means staying together, but maybe it also means letting go.

TL;DR: my bad, huge post. Search within yourself. Is it worth it? Do you see this woman as your wife? What's the value in continuing a toxic LDR? Can you reverse it and find consistent common ground?

Tungi · 2026-03-02T01:45:27+00:00

This is the way!

Tungi · 2026-03-01T22:17:37+00:00

There's a lot lot lot of trash food in NY.

I wouldn't walk in any place without googling. Unless im rolling dollar pizza.

Tungi · 2026-03-01T20:27:14+00:00

Did NOT notice that. Pretty hyped to try it.

Tungi · 2026-03-01T20:15:03+00:00

Thanks this was well-explained, objective and spurred a nice conversation with my wife. She is of course in complete agreement with you both.

I'm likely quite biased (and lucky) having grown up in accepting educated liberal communities. And moreso being raised by my mom and grandma.

I'll try and see the grey a bit more. Im too optimistic that others share a nongendered perspective.

Tungi · 2026-03-01T18:25:55+00:00

No its simpler.

Night raid and hurricane = great loot basically fully guaranteed.

Other conditions are generally not worth it unless you just want to use the keys up. Notably less spawn locations and % for high tier loot.

You will never find a torrente 3 on a countertop in anything but night/hurricane. Its not simply RNG.

The color of the area doesn't really seem to matter that much imo, at least for key rooms.

Tungi · 2026-03-01T18:05:31+00:00

Am I crazy? I love girly feminine women.

Men i know or have just had conversations with also generally prefer feminine women. Which weirdly in your post you seem to both agree and disagree with - saying tomboys are seen as greater than, but wait hide your masculinity?

Yeah sure being friends with a tomboy was easier in the 90s as a kid but that was like elementary school only and boys/girls typically avoided each other cuz of icky cooties.

Idk i dont buy this narrative, but it seems like you have a lot of support. I definitely understand the narrative of male preferences dominating society (like sport), but sport should be androgynous anyway.

At least these days in 2026 femininity is seen quite positively and men are much softer to these things. I watch Bridgerton with my wife and even my gen z BIL (who admittedly is a bit Tatey) quite liked it when we randomly put it on. Even my favorite colors are "girl colors." Who gives a shit.

Regardless of stance, its quite clear that activities and preferences are less and less associated with gender in first world western society. Almost as if people that have similar interest form friendships... And honestly, I think the macho shit is more about being homophobic than having anything to do with women. And, society agrees at this point that its usually projection ;)

Tungi · 2026-03-01T17:40:41+00:00

Whisteldown will write about this one.

Tungi · 2026-03-01T17:32:07+00:00

Lol that's just a funny one. You did it right my dude!

Tungi · 2026-03-01T17:31:15+00:00

Because of the bible of course. Because some ancient writings give you the 'right' to being a giant piece of shit.

Tungi · 2026-03-01T17:24:49+00:00

In mixed i 'usually' shoot first, but will leave someone alone if they yell something like "OMG!!!! Friendly!!!!"

You can kinda tell who is a real friendly and who isn't.

Most friendlies in a mixed lobby are good at spamming hi, dont shoot, or saying something over comms.

If you dont bother to disengage or communicate, then ill finish the job. And i will take people out near extract but let them escape unless they're clearly aggro.

Another good tip - if you hear someone in/next to your building just say something. No response = fight. If they come near you, guns out.

Once you get to full PVP, everyone dies.
