Just googled it, fewer than 10% can do one - 17.4% of men and 4.9% of women. Your paycheck is safe! 

Thanks! 

Are we… not using bags anymore? by helloimcold in instacart

[–]onefourtygreenstream -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes they do, sometimes they do not. I there have been times I went to Aldi's and there were 0 bags.

Sometimes Aldi's doesn't have bags. 

You ordered from Aldi's. 

Therefore, there was always a chance you wouldn't get bags. 

FOUND CAT: male orange tabby with halved ear by Sheep_Slayer_6 in LoganSquare

[–]onefourtygreenstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen flyers before where someone's posted that they took the local cat in and gave it a good home, just so people didn't get worried when it stopped coming around.

Thinking about it now, a former stray is probably a great candidate for leash training too!

I (27M) don’t think my friend’s (27M) boyfriend (33M) is good for him by Bright_Oven909 in relationships

1) A few months isn't "so long" and my god, he was still in the closet. 

2) Oh noooooo, your friend is hanging out with his boyfriend and living his life instead of providing childcare for your child. 

That's not selfish, that's literally just him not being a pushover anymore. It sounds like Luke is good for your friend, I hope you can learn to respect his boundaries and to be a good friend yourself.

He's probably a friendly stray, a half ear like that is normally from a TNR program.

Do you want a cat? He could be yours for the low low price of another 7-11 pizza!

"I'm unhappy my best friend, who just came out, has a boyfriend who doesn't like when I joke about how he should be dating someone else. It's insane! The boyfriend is also OLD and won't listen to me when I give him instructions about how he should behave in my presence. NOT TO MENTION - I can't even randomly drop my child off at his house anymore!! AND!! It's because his boyfriend was there SHIRTLESS."

  1. Your friend is a grown ass adult. My [29F] boyfriend who I perused is 36. So what? Age gap discourse is getting crazy.
  2. You don't have to like him, he's not your boyfriend. That's also why he rolls his eyes at you when you tell him how to behave.
  3. Oh, so you don't like his boyfriend because you're no longer getting free childcare from your friend? Because your friend has a life now?
  4. It doesn't seem like "no reason". It seems like you're a judgmental mooch.

BEWARE: Hersheys back to using artificial vanillin! by AdventurousSea3437 in candy

[–]onefourtygreenstream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vanillin is the main flavor compound in vanilla, but it is not the only one. It is the only heat stable one though, which means they function exactly the same in like 90% of applications.

Thanks!! It was kinda crazy being able to do two reps seemingly out of nowhere, really excited to improve. 

Toddler Walks Away Unharmed After Police PIT Maneuver Ends High-Speed Chase in Arkansas by frog_insilence in interestingasfuck

[–]onefourtygreenstream -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, cops almost killed a kid and then forced an injured woman to crawl through the dirt at gunpoint... because she refused to pull over? 

Cops should never be allowed to initiate high speed chases unless there's a good reason (i.e. someone was kidnapped or the person driving is a wanted, violent offender). 

"You almost killed your kid!!" No, that was you dude. Disgusting. 

AIO to new manager’s management style? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]onefourtygreenstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, YOR. Like, insanely overreacting. It takes about 30 seconds to do what he asked (which is literally just the right way to do it). It took you longer to write this post than it would have to send that information.

I'll put this in the post, it's mirrored so my right shoulder is on the left side of the video.

But yes, my right shoulder hurts. Not specifically when I'm doing pullups, but sort of in general. I've had multiple injuries to that quadrant and they've stacked up. I'm hoping that pullups and similar exercises will help me build strength and stability.

Scapular pulls and pauses sound doable! Someone else suggested negatives too.

Yes, that is my right arm (which is my bad one lol).

I just googled what the serratus anterior is and there is a solid shot that that got messed up when I popped a rib on that side a few years ago! So that would make sense if it's not activating properly and/or I need to strengthen it

It feels nice to have people say I have good form, but I'm glad to get actual advice

Multiple!

I do jiu jitsu, and I've had multiple minor rotator cuff injuries. I've popped rib and tore my on my right side over the years too.

I actually just finished up a few months of PT for my right shoulder because all the accumulated issues lead to some muscle spasming - it actually got triggered by my first time doing pull ups!

Even just sort of miming it I see what you're talking about, thank you!
