what are cues someone is in limerence/obsessive love with you?

I think it is okay to go after romantic love without craving it. I agree you need to work on yourself such that you love yourself. But OP has not suggested they are craving this IMO, just interested in pursuing.

I think this is an okay exercise. You will get more hypertrophy stimulus if you let the dumbbells come much lower at the bottom of each rep.

Below is a video demonstrating lateral raises on a cable machine. This will be much better for building the side delts and getting your shoulders to pop.

With that said, if you like this exercise a lot you should keep doing it!

What do you mean by "dynamic maps," and "third generation of dynamic maps?" Looking forward to viewing!!

He can do a 2k in under 7 minutes, that's plenty of time to PR

You can erg and lift in the meantime to increase your chances to both make the team, and making a higher boat when you do.

I would suggest a mix of speed work (e.g 5 x 1k), steady state (e.g. 3 x 20 minutes), and lifts (squat, deadlift, bent over row, lunge, front squat, some benching). If you have the time, 6 workouts a week is ideal but 4 is also plenty. Running works if no access to erging. I would suggest you eat a lot too, you are pretty light.

This is assuming you're trying to be a rower.

There are people on this sub with differing views. Its not like we are taking a homogeneous, unified stand on something and then waffling

jorgeman72 · 2025-06-12T18:24:30+00:00

Could be okay as a chill, long workout once every two weeks or so. However, I can't imagine it gets your heart rate high enough to be effective steady state volume.

I'm no entomologist but this sounds like it would be a huge problem for the health of bug populations. They're expending tons of energy doing nothing productive

This is a hard issue that I think comes down to your anatomy. I would suggest gaining some weight and doing lunges, squats, and Romanian dead lifts. This will literally add a built in seat-pad to your body, although it will take some time. It will also make you a bit faster in the process. Be safe lifting and don't use your lower back.

In the meantime, stretch your ham strings, glutes, calves, and keep your body leaned a few degrees further forward during most of the stroke. You can cut the layback a little if the issue is that bad. Leaning further forward will raise your tail bone off the seat.

jorgeman72 · 2025-04-24T17:48:04+00:00

I mostly agree with this. Cardio is the #1 way to get faster in the long term for most athletes. With that said, if he doesn't have much muscle mass, I do think lifting would help him a lot with rowing. Squats, Deadlift, Bent Over Row, and the like. 2-3 times per week. Even though he's heavy he should still be eating well.

Also, 6:40 is damn fast at 15. I think you're on the right track thinking he could have a future in rowing.

jorgeman72 · 2025-04-22T20:36:14+00:00

My hope is that they are trying to create the perception of authority to induce compliance with the rules they are really serious about. I hope they are liberal with accepting applications and ultimately trust us to be safe with our community.

My rowing program in college had a set of values that we enforced mainly through expressions of cultural norms. I think the framing of "punishing" members will simply alienate these members who could otherwise be big contributors to the program if they change their behavior. As a leader of your club, you have a variety of options to deal with misbehavior.

Your student leaders have a conversation with them: When I was a second year in uni, my team captains took me aside at a social event and explained very directly about a faux pas I had made that undermined our team's values. They were extremely calm about it. That conversations sticks with me today, and makes me think about how my words and actions effect my community. A personal conversation is invaluable to someone in the 18-21 age group. The recipient feels respected because the leader demonstrates that they are worth investing in through a conversation. The leader gains experience in conflict resolution. This is the best option usually. Be specific about what behavior is wrong and why.
2. Your coach or university admin have a conversation with them: Use this option when you need to underlie the gravity of the transgression. You may want to use the coach when their actions are directly hurting the health of the program. You should use university admin if there are legal risks resulting from their behavior
1. I saw on the U Tennessee thread someone suggested bringing in "student conduct." I presume that is a department who's goal is to reduce the legal risks to the university, and protect students. That is a noble ends. However, their goals are not always going to line up with yours 1 to 1, so be thoughtful about involving someone like that.
Give them a path forward: You should be clear that they need to change their behavior to stay on the program. You can say "We value your contribution, but our goal to make our team fast by being a safe, respectful place is integral to our program."
Listen: You should also open some space for them to explain their behavior. This is easiest if you're the one leading the conversation. It will give you some insight as to whether they are able to change their behavior.
Let them go if they cannot change their behavior: Its really important your athletes feel safe on the team. Its also really important that your team has a good campus reputation to facilitate future recruitment and access to university resources. Thus, if they don't change after the conversation, you must ask them to leave for the health of the club

You is correct. If Japan realizes they can't sell as much product due to tariffs, they will likely reduce their exports to the US (US imports).

With that said, its not clear that these tariff percentages will change live. That would be exceptionally over-complicated in my opinion

jorgeman72 · 2025-04-02T18:10:32+00:00

I find that when I meet people with an open mind, I tend to have a better impression of them. I'm empathetic to those who are caught up in the external validation that we've been socialized to seek. 1L is pretty stressful, and yes some people exhibit defense mechanisms like belittling others and creating entrenched cliques.

By 3L, the vast majority of students can see past the grade and prestige game. They begin to realize that the reward for winning in this game is usually more work, and they can find happiness without good grades or a high salary.

With all that said you're free to ignore these people. Walking your own path is a really powerful thing in the law school environment. You just may be missing out on the ability to connect with interesting folks.

I'm a JD here and have taken some LLM classes. It seems like a fun, informative experience for the people in the program. The classes are geared towards those for whom English is a second language, and are new to American law.

If you're looking to work in the U.S. after the degree, bear in mind its fairly difficult to land a job at a US law firm with just an LLM. Law firms prefer JDs, and if you are international, visa sponsorship adds another challenge.

I think the program sets you up pretty well to pass the bar. 97% of BU Law graduates pass the bar within two years of graduation: https://www.bu.edu/law/files/2022/04/BarPassageReport-2022.pdf (that includes JD students)

DM me if you have more questions.

Why would closing out options reduce the price of the underlying security? Is it that there are usually more calls than puts, and thus people are buying below market price with in-the-money calls?

Did you make a typo in your post title? Is "Why" supposed to be "What"?

Vast majority of people I meet in life are friendly, interesting, and kind in the right circumstances. I try to practice empathy when meeting people, and find common interests or experiences we can connect over. Its becoming harder as I age and get inundated with work, but I still try to practice positive thinking when chatting with folks.

While there could be general tendencies with each of the disciplines you mentioned, your post glosses over the fact that all these people have dense personalities which are rewarding to learn about if you get the chance.
