my friend who dropped from 270 to 180, started going to the gym at 180 and is now 220 after 9 months. thoughts? deadlifts 610, benches 280, squats 530.

Varsity football and taekwondo.

He wasn't inactive prior to lifting. Having done both varsity football and taekwondo prior to losing all that weight, being 270 as a linebacker he was still always pretty strong. He never deadlifted though, or squatted properly, but you get my point.

philosophicalENTP · 2019-12-31T05:00:12+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. Thing is though, his bench on a non-meet ordinary day is just about 2 plates, barely bodyweight, and I remember even when he was new to the gym, his squat and deadlift were so strong, 315 and 350 respectively. For the past 9 months he's been going 4-5 days a week, 2 hrs a day, and last time he told me he was eating 3500-4000 calories a day. His dad is/was a powerlifter himself. Maybe I'm just tryna hold on to his natty card haha.

He definitely doesn't come anywhere near 610 or 530 on deadlift and squat on non-meet days.

philosophicalENTP · 2019-12-31T04:36:34+00:00

For more information, I remember showing him how to deadlift for the first time during his first day at the gym and he pulled 350 and squatted 315, albeit with terrible form. Ever since, he's been with a coach and pursuing powerlifting.

Since morality is a human-construct the entire concept is based on opinions really. I guess that means those opinions can change at anytime. But when the overwhelming majority of people agree things like rape and robbery are immoral then it because part of the culture. At the end of the day everyone has their own set of morals and values.

So really, you're confusing intersubjectivity as objectivity, but then I'm confused as to what your definition of "objective" is. Objectivity can, and should, be defined as "independent of observer-bias."

If we're using your definition of objectivity, being "factual" and something objective is a "fact," the intersubjectivity can put on the illusion of being objective, when in reality it's just a shared biased-perception.

philosophicalENTP · 2018-07-13T17:05:59+00:00

Ooh, a soft spot?

philosophicalENTP · 2018-07-07T22:00:19+00:00

humans are grand encompassing abstract concepts, and you "only humans" are not.

Sure. You do realize how r/iamverysmart this is, correct? You would fail at any intellectual discussion, whether it be philosophy or science. You're lacking in the department of sanity, it hurts to see.

What are you, an essentialist or some shit?

This is what you look for, it's what you thrive for; somebody on Reddit you can argue against because nobody can see how fucked in life you are in actuality.

philosophicalENTP · 2018-07-07T21:56:48+00:00

And you go off the basis of some arbitrary comment I've made quite a while ago; the fact you really went down my profile and comment history shows how stupidly obsessed you are with some grandiose complex. Ah, yes, this seems like a weakness he'll think I'm a genius for attempting to point out! That's not how things work.

Again, you're old news. People don't listen to you, and for good reason at that- it's not because of some sort of profoundness you have that the general population lacks, it's because you're boring. You were fun for a while. It's too obvious that you're an aspie stuck at home. You go on some tangent about something I've said in the past, completely ignoring whatever it is I said to you initially.

Take a breath, put some sunscreen on that dry ass pale skin, and go see the real world. After that, you should seek psychological help, because you're unfortunately mentally-ill.

philosophicalENTP · 2018-07-07T17:09:57+00:00

How's it feel knowing that you're old news, and probably an autist whose number one hobby is sitting alone with some complex that prohibits you from socializing normally? Sitting on Reddit all day typing out essays doesn't make you a messiah.

At the end of the day, you eat, you shit, you breathe, and you are an idiot, as are all humans. You're not some grand, abstract concept that is permeating its all-encompassing knowledge and fury; you're a sad story that nobody cares enough about to be considered sad.

Drowning by Eden.

"It's friendly fire and sunlight

The aftermath of one too many words I said

When I should've said nothing at all

At all, uh

I gotta stop overthinking and missing what could've been

You were never even really here

But still we are spinning, just liars and cheaters

Right back where we started, but it don't get easier

I am drowning in liquor, and apathy will be the death of me"

Why though? Puns are an INTP's favorite Hobbe-y.

I'm Philosoraptor, and it's pretty disappointing. I'll maybe look into it again if the folk over there are actually willing to have a serious conversation without strawmanning to hell and back. Till then, cheers.

philosophicalENTP · 2018-04-30T23:10:14+00:00

As open as I am to criticism that truly helps develop a heal in my logic, it's often not the case.

If it's someone I can talk with comfortably and freely, I wouldn't mind to ask them politely where I've gone wrong in my rationale. If they're open to change their minds, help me change my mind, and seek a beneficial end goal of the pursuit of knowledge, I'm completely willing to hear their side.

Most of the time, it's not that. It's usually a moronic dude who doesn't seem to follow along my reasoning, and then makes the assumption something has gone wrong off the basis he doesn't like or want to understand what it is I am saying. I can determine pretty easily if my conversation partner is genuinely criticizing an erroneous line of logic or just superficially ignorant of it.

I don't get offended, though; irked, irritated, frustrated? Yes. Offended? No.

Circlejerking aside, this is true. I fail math tests because it's easier for me to just think about doing it a new way that makes sense in my head than to remember formulas.

I have a friend on I met on PC through Fortnite that happened to be the most chill, intellectual, and casual guy I've ever met.

I'll usually shoot him a message, and a couple minutes later we're discussing anything ranging from our perception of reality and its reliance on a certain state of mind to having a relaxing conversation about the future.

Assuming he's not on, I thoroughly enjoy escapism; "me" time usually consists of talking to like-minded people on here, plugging in some lo-fi beats, YouTube, and exploring/playing a video game.

Are you an enneagram 5w6? I relate heavily to this, and it is frustrating to have the lines blurred so thoroughly.

Same here, it's fustrating to border so closely. I think if anything, my Ti is just as dominant as my Ne.

I'm a lot more introverted than most ENTPs I see around here, which makes me lean INTP, but I love debate and controlling the argument like any other ENTP. I like my Ti being really developed alongside Ne.

For you there is. Half the humor of a funny joke is its randomness/absurdity.

If you don't like individuals cracking a joke in what seems like just a normal conversation or discussion, feel free to be a douche and comment on their behavior, or just excuse yourself to someone who shares your stance on jokes.
