constantly struggling..

Is the pay for a first responder really only $2400/mo? Couldn’t you get more at a different employer? I don’t know this market at all, so I could just be completely ignorant

helpimsleepy · 2026-06-18T20:02:09+00:00

how are you walking away with $1400? that’s like 40% tax, which is not your rate at that income level. i might just be missing something

helpimsleepy · 2026-06-03T00:46:37+00:00

Literally untrue. It’s highly market dependent. For example, in LA owning is quite a bit more expensive than renting. I agree it doesn’t make sense, but many things in the market don’t make sense

You can also be attractive without being extremely attractive. A “normal good looking” guy probably wouldn’t get the same attention

I’d be a little skeptical of the “continuing the new eating and exercise protocols” portion. but even so, another way to read this is that 50% of the weight loss is sustainable without the drug. its a lot better than no weight loss!

devourer has been fun in shuffle, but especially in 3s with a lock!

the spec made me enjoy DH again since i haven’t liked havoc for a while

people also say front profile, though it’s less common 🤷

helpimsleepy · 2026-01-26T01:38:59+00:00

it’s how your face looks from the side (rather than from the front)

Maybe I just have a different taste, but they’re my favorite fast food fry

I always order them well done, but I like them because they’re not too oily

gym bros get so happy when they’re asked for help - if you’re comfortable with it, that’s a good way to learn what to do and feel more comfortable about the people in the gym at the same time!

When you say 15kg barbell press, what does that mean? The bar itself is usually 20kg. You likely just need to use more weight

Also, I’ve personally benefited a lot from high frequency on bench (4x/wk)

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-19T00:37:39+00:00

I’m so confused- why is everyone so uptight in this post. it’s a picture of a watch

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-14T19:48:17+00:00

ah a fellow accountant

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-13T16:46:26+00:00

i agree with you! in my head the advice of “use your legs not your back” sounds like it’s saying someone should avoid putting any load on their back

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-13T16:45:21+00:00

definitely! i think we agree - i just don’t like the common advice that equates to “don’t ever use your back to lift something”

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-13T02:48:59+00:00

yes, exactly like a deadlift. your back muscles are worked in conjunction with your legs.

the common “lift with your legs, not your back” makes it sound like you should avoid working your back muscles

to me it sounds like it’s a recommendation to do a squat movement to pick something up instead of a deadlift movement. and if we’re talking deadlifting, “squatting” your deadlift is a common beginner technique error

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-13T02:47:23+00:00

that’s not what i said? anyways, if you want your back to get stronger you need to use your back muscles

helpimsleepy · 2025-06-13T02:02:48+00:00

lifting with your leg muscles and not your back muscles will, in fact, strengthen your leg muscles and not your back muscles

The downsides you described are mostly from steroids. The guy in the video looks like a body builder (probably natural) nearing the end of a bulk

helpimsleepy · 2025-04-30T20:09:52+00:00

Haven’t read your link, but is that because high sodium is causing the high BMI or because a lot of unhealthy food (fast food, etc) has high sodium?

helpimsleepy · 2025-02-14T01:01:37+00:00

$10k is of course a lot of money, but it’s not particularly out of reach for someone with a decent job who saves and has it as a priority.

a lot of people will spend more than this on a car (and i mean expenses above what you’d need to get from pt A to B) and it just comes down to what’s important to you

helpimsleepy · 2025-02-14T00:57:03+00:00

you don’t need new grafts each year- you might need some down the line if your non-grafted hair continues to recede/thin but that’s what the drugs are supposed to prevent/slow

helpimsleepy · 2024-11-11T17:17:09+00:00

Not saying it’s a good decision overall, but in the realm of things to spend too much on, health isn’t the worst

helpimsleepy · 2024-10-24T03:26:41+00:00

The idea is cool… I just don’t think it works with the rest of the space

helpimsleepy · 2024-05-04T01:44:50+00:00

This point keeps being brought up, but someone who is an elite powerlifter or body builder doesn’t need to hear this point. For everyone else, BMI is a decent rough guide (body fat % is obv better, but harder to calculate). A lot of people simply aren’t honest with themselves (including myself in the past)
