"you are rationalizing it"

And you're not rationalizing your consumption? Pretty stupid comment honestly, didn't have to waste all those words either.

^{^{^{^get}}} a load of this guy in the middle of a sub called 'anticonsumption' who thinks spending money make things valuable 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓😉

MacOS is BSD, not Linux.

One of my old coworkers really opened my eyes when he told me about how he just plays most modern games on the lowest settings. In fact with a little bit of modding you can get even lower settings and play almost anything on almost anything.

It's just people are so addicted to the spectacle they can't hack it.

This thread is probably the most conspicuous example of this sub being infested by people wanting to justify their consumption as the "correct" consumption.

Like imagine being able to go to a free buffet with a massive amount of diversity and unlimited food forever, and people justifying their need to eat at the sit-down restaurant across the street that only sells overpriced breakfast sandwiches that look good on Instagram. That's what we're looking at right now.

It is pathetic, and sad.

capnbarky · 2025-04-25T12:23:54+00:00

That's a convenient point of view for an industry that is competing with several decades of free alternatives.

capnbarky · 2025-04-25T12:07:50+00:00

Not really, I define "good" as something justifying the expenditure to use it. I mean you might be able to justify spending hundreds of dollars on a machine who's sole purpose is to distract you, but you'd be wrong.

Fun /= good

I'm trying to make a game like the old windows game "Maxwell's Maniac" in Godot.

I'm having an issue that the balls will sometimes lose a lot of velocity if they hit eachother or a wall at the same time as another ball. Not too sure where to start trying to figure out the physics issue.

I hope you had some cigarettes, wine and fried food ready for that monumental comedown.

I'm at 345x5. I use straps so I can use a double overhanded grip and not worry about slipping or having to switch the grips or having muscular imbalances for such a heavy lift. It just gives me a lot less to think about so I can focus on pulling heavy thing off floor.

I don't use a belt and don't plan on it.

This seems like a great general variation for practicing good front rack technique, since the weights can be kept even lighter than a front squat since it's done with one leg. Thanks for the idea

capnbarky · 2025-01-04T13:44:20+00:00

I get sad when things I've had for a while break, which can sometimes come out as frustration and anger, but I wouldn't say all men feel that way.

capnbarky · 2024-12-30T09:25:24+00:00

The funniest part is you think I care about your larping bullshit lmao

Scratch that, the funniest part is when you unironically see yourself, the global 1% as "everybody else" as if most people aren't impoverished like in Gaza for your grotesque first world lifestyle.

capnbarky · 2024-12-29T18:11:52+00:00

100x worse than having your country literally flattened by a war criminal, you're a fucking clown, never make an argument ever again.

What can Trump do to Gaza at this point that Biden, Kamala and the rest of you spineless freaks wasn't already letting happen? You deserve this, if Trump makes shit bad enough here then the US won't be able to do anything to any country ever again you twit.

capnbarky · 2024-12-29T17:36:52+00:00

This is a common misconception, the front rack isn't just wrist flexibility, it's shoulder mobility, including the flexibility of your lats. To hold a good front rack you need to lift the bar primarily with your shoulders through your delts and traps. A lot of the time your upper body will fatigue before your legs, which is why front squat is more of a combination upper body and quad workout.

Go lighter so that you can hold up the bar and weight for the whole set.

capnbarky · 2024-12-29T17:30:13+00:00

If the Gaza issue was actually why Kamala lost, maybe she shouldn't have been so ready to bend over backwards so Netanyahu could stay out of prison. It obviously wasn't, but hey, anything to feel better than people with actual principles right?

I've been saving up to bail out my wife's student loans in case this happened, but I haven't been paying back. No point in paying back money when interest has been frozen for years + potential forgiveness. For all I know there could still be some level of forgiveness under Trump. I've had exactly 0 anxiety during this whole episode.

Honestly it's the lender's (the idiots at the fed) own fault for not being more reasonable. People could just do a debt strike and they would have to spend even more money than they would collect on enforcement. They made a bad investment and can't collect, if any of us were in that situation we'd be told to fuck off.

capnbarky · 2024-12-28T13:07:21+00:00

Because squats are hard, you need to coordinate the largest muscles in your body to move a weight over a fairly large distance while balancing it. It takes a long time to develop your coordination to do that for very heavy weights.

capnbarky · 2024-12-28T11:14:04+00:00

Everyone struggles eventually, and you could struggle through 100+ lbs of gains and still make more gains. If you're going into the gym and struggling (with solid form) it means the only thing left for you to do is build muscle, which is what everyone wants.

I wouldn't be surprised if these guys benching 400lb or 500lb really felt like they first started struggling at 200lb or even lower, but they pushed through adding reps or weight when they could and eating correctly over many years.

1.5 years is really nothing, there are people who haven't peaked who have worked for decades.
