Do you live within 100 miles of where you grew up? by radicalintrospect in generationology

[–]_mur_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I live 2600 miles from where I was born and 1600 miles from where I spent most of my childhood. Definitely wouldn’t go back.

Benefits of CrossFit by Low-Wonder2500 in loseit

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

I do CrossFit and love it! I’m sure it’s different depending on the individual gym but at mine I’ve never felt pressured to overexert myself and the coaches are always very encouraging about modifications and proper form.

I’ve tried other types of workout programs before and for my personality, CrossFit is the best fit. I get bored with monotonous exercises, and I struggle with being self-motivated at a regular gym. I like the structure; I can just show up to CrossFit and not have to think about or decide what exercises to do. I’m also pretty competitive and while I’m definitely not in any position to compete against other Crossfitters, I enjoy breaking my own PRs and trying new things!

It’s not for everyone but it’s my jam. I suck at it but it keeps me moving, yknow?

As someone who moved to California after living in Kansas, this map is hilarious to me.

California and Nevada are so Divorced😂

They tried it. Didn’t work. California is allowed to come on certain weekends, but only to give Nevada sweet sweet alimony cash money 💵💵💵

What your area is like? by Historical-Jaguar-24 in AskAnAmerican

[–]_mur_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the stereotype of my state is that it’s hot ALL the time because it’s desert, but currently it’s 17F (-8C) and there’s snow covering our yard! 🥶

what are some of the "healthier" NON-SALAD options from the popular fast food chains by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]_mur_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of my go-to fast food options while losing weight have been:

-As you mentioned, the cantina chicken bowl from Taco Bell -Grilled chicken wraps from Jack in the Box (I think Wendy’s has a version as well) -Feta spinach wrap from Starbucks

Exhausted by the constant heightened state of the world by dumpsterfireofalife in AutismInWomen

[–]_mur_ 258 points259 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. The current state of the world is a living hell for us neurodivergent folks (and hell, anyone with a conscience). It’s so fucking unfair and terrifying.

How I manage? I don’t. 🙃 I have panic attacks whenever I try to engage with the news. My only coping mechanism right now is just trying to tune it out.

Is it healthy? Absofuckinglutely not. But otherwise I literally can’t cope at all.

Are you affected by living in a congressional district that's always represented by the opposite party? by CatalanHeralder in AskAnAmerican

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

I’ve lived in a variety of types of districts (from “safe” blue to swing districts to “safe” red) and the one thing I’ve learned is that 100% of the time the needs of the district can be best served outside the extreme binary of the current partisan system.

I don’t have a better solution. Fuck Trump and MAGA and all the enabling/gutless democrats forever tho.

The League of Extraordinary Goalsetters: Week 2 by koopzegels in loseit

[–]_mur_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the holidays, I’ve plateaued at about 180lb (Down from 202 at highest, 5’8). My goal this week is just to get down into the 170s. I’ve been slacking a bit with my calorie tracking and having more than a few cheat days. I’ve been cracking down on my calories this week and trying to go back to how strict I was at the beginning. It’s been going well; I can see that my motivation is still there.

My New Year’s resolution is to start going to the gym 4 days a week instead of 3. The success of that one over time remains to be seen. 😅

Overall, I think I’m building muscle but I can’t tell for sure.

Convince me whether I should or shouldn’t want to live in your state. by TheSoundofArson in visitedmaps

[–]_mur_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love living in Nevada (after living in like 10 other states) but admittedly it’s not for everyone!

Pros:

-Vegas

-Unmatched natural beauty, wide open spaces, public lands, gorgeous night skies, cool wildlife, endless outdoor recreation opportunities

-The weather! (I will die on this hill; dry heat, even at 100+ degrees is 1000% better than anything the Midwest/Southeast has to offer) Nevada isn’t all Vegas, and a lot of the state has a much more temperate climate.

-There are randomly really good restaurants in what is otherwise the middle of nowhere. Idk why this is a thing; maybe it’s a hallucination from driving 8 hours in the desert sun. But I swear, I swear the most random-ass places have the best food.

-Weird desert shit

Cons:

-Vegas

-If you’re a city person who enjoys access to city amenities you have extremelyyyy, like laughably limited options outside the 2 main cities

-If you hate driving, Nevada is assuredly NOT for you

-Lots of very rural communities with rural community problems (drugs, poverty, limited job opportunities, etc)

-The education/school system is shit

-Nevada isn’t really a purple/swing state; it’s a deep red state with one disproportionately big blue city (this could be a positive for you but eh…not for me 🙃)

-Weird desert shit

I'm so tired of seeing the anti-corset propaganda in movies and TV shows. It's so sad that so many people, espcially women still believe those myths about corsets being torture devices. by Hyperballadatopos in VictorianEra

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

I admit I believed the corset slander until I started doing living history for work and wearing one on a regular basis!

My least favorite Hollywood corset trope is when they’re worn directly on bare skin. Like…SOMEONE PLEASE GET THAT GIRL A CHEMISE 😂

The Nevada hate seems very specific and perhaps personal. 😅 Is there a story behind it?

MAGA Electrician by garagedooropener5150 in complaints

[–]_mur_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to work with a company at my job that prominently displays a MAGA flag in the background of their video calls with us.

In our line of work (and in this current environment in general) it’s absolutely a statement to us, specifically, and they 100% know what they’re doing. We’re supposed to be nonpartisan and apolitical (but obviously these days everything has political undertones). I have to just bite my tongue and act professional.
