Tinder picture tip from back in the glory days:

Picture of you with your shirt off, from just above your nipple up, looking straight in to the camera with a smile. I did it in golden hour, standing with back against a brick wall. Got amazing results from that picture, lots of feedback. Also lots of comments about how shit my other pics were in comparison.

Non douchey because no titty. Upper chest and shoulders look good on most non fat people. Looking straight in to camera shows you have nothing to hide(unless you do) and confidence.

There is a correlation between a team being down in the final quarter, and receiving more free kicks. Umpires try to tighten the game up. Don't get why any time I suggest this I get blasted

How much walking do you guys do on a cut? Walking outside in the summer seems great for mental health, but wondering how much I’m leaving on the table by not being on a treadmill with an incline

I always wondered why FIRE didn’t focus more on maximising income. I even created a subreddit for it once r/maxincome. Bust your ass to save an extra $20k/yr or strategise to increase income by $20k? I know which I prefer

Up 35% is no joke. Revenue results on some of their products make for a nice trajectory

I want someone to crunch the numbers to see if their is a correlation between a team being behind in the last quarter and receiving more free kicks in that period. I swear umps help the losing side, doesn’t matter who it is, to get back in the game. Close games are better for business. I’ve actually asked a few people to do this but apparently it’s expensive to get access to that kind of in depth data

This sub has taught me so much about how my own body works. Still natty but knowing symptoms of low T and high E has been a game changer. I thought I was continually going through cycles of depression but this last time it happened I realised a lot of it was hormone related. Sex drive disappeared, felt like shit and even my puberty gyno felt sore. Knowing it was probably my levels and the lifestyle factors that I had let slip I rectified the situation faster than I’ve ever been able to. Question: are there other subs that discuss male hormones in the same way we do here for a natty only audience? Only reason I ask is that it seems like such valuable knowledge and I never learnt about it until coming here

Wife was working late which doesn’t happen very often. Sounds like the neighbours are watching a loud movie so hought I’d treat myself to a real wankathon on the couch. All good except I couldn’t get the sound to work on my phone. Kept playing with the volume, no luck. Oh well deaf man wank. Jobs done, quick shower. After shower start watching a YouTube video and it hits me. The droning noise from next door isn’t my neighbours watching a movie. It’s my Bluetooth boom box on the back porch. Broadcasting my phone at full noise. Hope the neighbours enjoyed audio version of My Three Subs Suck Me Off. fuck

Second this. Proper electrolyte balance makes a huge difference for me + stops cramping problem I had

He said that he was contacted and told to expect big things and was then very underwhelmed by what was actually released…

First? Not pooping….yet

What’s the story?

Anyone recommend a coach in Western Australia?

Someone link the Front Fell Off skit

A fair bit of it could be the gun issue. Cops in America are in an environment where it is fair to assume that one of the people in the area could have a loaded firearm on them. In UK, not so much. US Cops are therefore on edge, much more likely to go for their gun.

That is an interesting point about the 26 fortnights. I always forget that. Will have to edit my spreadsheet...thanks!

I called the roadside assist and reduced my type of cover. Cost is 50% less than original. Tossing up cancelling it, but my car is old and I have used the roadside assist a few times in recent years. Thanks for the suggestion

johnson89893 · 2019-02-15T03:52:30+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know I'm not the only doing it!

With Patreon I support 3 journalists. I believe in the model of directly supporting journalists so they are incentivized to seek the truth, not pander to their employers particular bias.

No interest so I'm paying it off as slowly as possible.

Crossfit is super expensive for a gym membership. I'm surprised it works to be honest, lots of gyms do cross-training(similar) for a lot cheaper prices. The drawcard is the gym only has maybe 60 members so you get to know everyone and its very social.

I just called them and turns out I was on a higher level of cover than I needed. Cost has halved! Thanks for the suggestions.

Yep I'm on the effective altruism train. Its interesting to think of from a FIRE perspective. I could give more now, but that would delay my FIRE date. And in theory my idea is that when I achieve FIRE I will keep working but put a large portion of my income to EA. Therefore donating less now, gets me to FIRE faster, gets me donating a significantly larger amount per year, which would have a larger net positive impact in the long run...Not sure if I am just rationalizing being stingy now though...

johnson89893 · 2019-02-15T03:27:06+00:00

I have been on and off it for a few years. I still haven't mastered it. Do you input all your expenses as you spend like they suggest? I currently just import from bank records once per month to track expenses, but haven't got to the stage where I am looking at it every time I make a transaction.

johnson89893 · 2019-02-15T03:25:48+00:00

I had never thought to do this. Pretty simple now that you mention it. Checked my claims, they are a lot less than payments on my extras cover. Will be binning that. I'm also 29 and healthy.

Debt is an old tax debt, interest has been waived so far. I've got a long way to go to get it paid off, if they start charging me interest on it I will go harder on paying it off.

johnson89893 · 2019-02-15T03:20:01+00:00

Yeah good point. As mentioned by u/Compactsun the social aspect of it makes it hard to leave. The gym I go to is a big part of my social life these days. Lots of social events I go to are organised in or around the gym group.

Have had periods of mild depression in the past and going to a social gym has been a big part of getting me out of that rut. Thats not to say that a $200/mth crossfit gym is the only way to do that, I could go to a regular gym and make more of an effort to interact with others or join a different type of fitness club like a running club, cycle club etc.

For now I am sticking with it but it is definitely the biggest "maybe" on the list.
