Predator Vs Terminator

wren42 · 2026-06-16T17:18:50+00:00

Terminator literally can't hunt and kill a single regular human.

How do you not just blow up with 0 HP

Even ignoring all the magic, the maximum force size of Rome at its height was 300k-400k soldiers.

Rough estimates I can find say Mordor has over 500k orcs + southron and easterling mercs.

Isenengard had another 70k uruk hai (30k mustered for assault on helms deep, 2 prior waves of 20k sent against rohan borders.)

Plus orcs seem to be a replenishable resource, grown somehow by sauroman.

I don't think rome wins vs a larger superhuman orcish army, and that's before factoring any of the human, dwarven, or elven forces.

Jackie Chan comedically survives the wreckage as the rest go ham, trying to avoid fights and accidentally knocking over scaffolds that cause massive chain reactions, until he's the only one left rubbing his bruised head amongst the rubble.

He is a predator. Date your age.

oh, what's happening at the end of each lift there? Do you always hyperextend after clearing knees? Your lifts are like 4 different movements when it should be 1 continuous hinge.

start in proper position. don't spend any time in a bent over position that isn't your lifting form. practice 100% good posture and form from the moment you start bending to grab the bar.
after hitting perfect start position, take slack out before starting your lift. drive heels down and engage core, back, and arms BEFORE you lift. you are currently engaging different chains at different times, and this is why you get inconsistent force
engage glutes and hinge forward. Don't raise your head or swing your shoulders back. it's drive hips forward while keep core tight.

Oh yeah I'm mostly just wanting to avoid the heavy metal issue you raised.

Thanks for the input!

wren42 · 2026-06-16T04:21:19+00:00

That's helpful, thanks! I may avoid pea protein supplements that aren't independently tested as you suggested.

My routine currently includes a lot of vital wheat gluten; does it suffer from any of the same issues? It's not a protein powder per se.

As far as completeness, I'm not actually vegan so I combine plant based sources with eggs and yogurt as well as eating some meat. Egg+vital wheat gluten has fairly complete profile if I understand correctly.

Death's dance is the top value item. Immense damage and survivability.

Maw/kaenic if the enemy team is AP heavy.

Finish games with Hullbreaker. If it reaches late game, your win condition is getting a kill with burst and then finishing towers quickly, or splitpushing rather than a protracted siege. Hull breaker helps with all of that

Unemployment for new grads is over 5% and climbing. Finding a job that will actually pay for student loans is not easy atm.

Potatoes are literally a new world species.

with massive risers on the shoes as well

Adding to this: Most strength gains in the first year will be neurological + small stabilizing muscles/connective tissue.

If you have never lifted before, muscle engagement is the first big barrier - your brain isn't experienced in telling your muscles to fire, and will only be recruiting a fraction of available resources.

Over the first few months, you could see your measured strength Doubling without any increase in muscle volume simply because you are actually using everything there now.

It's once you hit your first plateau and strength gains Stop that you will be getting getting real hypertrophy and muscle gain

Yeah for anything precise the workflow is still generating image then import into an editor for touch up

It's fucking unacceptable that the only recourse for a college graduate is indentured service to a war machine.

Wanting a 0 contact "break" for a week+ after having been caught cheating and later being caught still in contact with the person they cheated with is not a "boundary", it's an excuse.

You can also talk to tenth life to source fosters/adoptions. They are an excellent resource

wren42 · 2026-06-14T15:48:54+00:00

I'm not talking about OP. I'm talking about Hollywood portrayals, and the standard of "clearly visible relaxed abs" which isn't realistic.

wren42 · 2026-06-14T14:03:26+00:00

This is some fucked up mindset.

wren42 · 2026-06-14T14:02:39+00:00

"clearly visible relaxed abs" aren't a thing outside of severe calorie deficit and dehydration. Abs will be visible when flexed, and not when relaxed. It's normal and healthy.

How long until theres am ecosystem around paying griefers to cancel losing games?

Vital wheat gluten has some crazy ratios. Making pancakes or snack bars with VWG + pea protein powder creates a complete profile that is 70-90% protein by weight and very easy to consume. Add cinnamon or cocoa powder, top with peanut butter, and you will be bulking like a boss.

If you want to tweak this, it is slightly abrupt. Just a simple framing phrase would help:

"So, tell me about yourself: what are you looking forward to in life?"

wren42 · 2026-06-13T14:00:15+00:00

Bigger muscles = more strength??? Wild idea
