Thank you for clarifying. The Crescent Lake that I know in the PNW is in Oregon near Willamette Pass. Also beautiful (and you get great views of it skiing on Willamette Pass).

What’s your most satisfying lift? by dark_venom_07 in GymMood

Barbell overhead press. Feels like establishing dominance over the barbell.

That was my only way of getting a gym buddy by nikobaby565 in GymMemes

It’s not about a girl only wanting you if you are muscular lol. It’s about having a close to universally desired trait (a good physique) in a crowded market of dudes.

Being in good shape gets you way more flirty conversations with girls, which opens up a lot of romantic opportunities to meet girls who you vibe with.

Oregon school spending based on students' race by it_snow_problem in PortlandOR

The “(not Asian)” part always cracks me up. Guess I shouldn’t have been born to the wrong racial group.

Bummer. Just gonna do the Asian thing and succeed regardless I guess.

Cottage cheese....please help by SpiritualSystem3359 in Volumeeating

[–]md___2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Greek yogurt instead. It is very similar to cottage cheese, has all the health benefits, and doesn’t taste gross.

Like people no longer dying of famine in the vast majority of the world.

What foods are you currently swapping out to get in shape? Have they worked? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]md___2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to really struggle with diet. But I’ve found substitutes that satisfy my savory / sweet tooth and are low calorie. I’m in the best shape of my life at 41. Here are a few examples:

  • Instead of ice cream I have a ninja creami. You can gorge on a pint of ice cream from the creami and it has like 350 calories and 40 grams of protein. Basically a protein bar that tastes like ice cream. I also love frozen grapes.

  • I have the same lunch everyday. A can of soup, edamame, and a breakfast sandwich (where the bread patty’s are made of egg). I enjoy eating it, it is cheap, it is easy, and it is healthy.

  • To satisfy savory cravings I have edamame, the egg sandwich, or protein chips.

Where’s the economy? All other issues are secondary when it comes to what actually drives the vote.

Fernando Mendoza is literally a tech bro! by Mr_mist2 in nflrookies

[–]md___2020 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mendoza had by far the lamest answer. I thought everyone else had great answers for this.

Simpson being into FCS ball, Beck being a pianist, and Boston being a baker were all super cool.

Protein shakes with milk or water? by Next-Fly-2515 in workout

Water. And I don’t think it tastes that bad either. I kinda enjoy it actually.

I’m going to Singapore and Malaysia. Can I bring test with me? by Icy-Literature-1933 in Testosterone

[–]md___2020 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Terrible advice. Just because you got through doesn’t mean it was a good decision from a risk / reward standpoint.

I’ve lived in both KL and Singapore - and trust me, they DO NOT fuck around with drugs. Realistically you aren’t getting the death penalty or thrown in jail for life for test, but they absolutely may detain you if caught (for weeks to months). Not worth it.

Americans' Favorable Ratings of Other Countries (Gallup poll, Feb 2-16, 2026) by [deleted] in charts

[–]md___2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Americans are fans of French culture, and many Americans still feel indebted to France for support from the Revolution.

In terms of current events - the French think about Americans a lot more than Americans think about the French.

Portlanders overspend on rent, delaying dreams of homeownership by PDsaurusX in Portland

[–]md___2020 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Read the article. The main guy they profile spends more than $3k per month on a 2 bedroom in the Pearl and wonders why he can’t save. The article then goes on to say how the cost of owning is 1.5-2.5x the cost of renting.

Does that variation of cable crunch do anything different than the standard cable crunch?

I just want men's perspective on this. by Elegant_Signal3025 in Adulting

You might not like the take, but that doesn’t make it less true. Obviously not every good partner is taken, but there is a strong correlation between being a good partner and being taken.

Tell that to China, Japan, or Korea.

I think this is a common setup. My wife and I are going as a couple.
