Oh I wouldn't expect anyone to be unaware, it would just be a gesture. Nevermind the posting, my art would give me away like a signature.

I'm over the whole doubling down thing, for real. Constant dogpiles are the logical conclusion of that gimmick and I spend more time probated than not these days. So I'm pretty sure that point has been reached.

I mean you could also just not post. You're not very good at it and I don't think anyone here would miss it. You don't have to interact with other people on Something Awful and I don't really know why you'd want to when no one seems to like you or enjoy your posts, you can just read the threads and pretend you're a part of it

That was EllisD. Phone posting, but I bet there's a SAclopedia entry on it.

Lysistrata posted:

I'm pretty sure that was EllisD. I don't have links, but iirc it was his superconservative uncle who was cheating on his wife with men and EllisD found his Craigslist (???) ad. Ended up blackmailing him for a sweet-rear end television. They were both pieces of poo poo, but I always thought EllisD was at least a likeable piece of poo poo.

Edit: can't really remember whether he actually got the TV. I think he did.

That's the one.

It started out as EllisD posting about finding out his homophobic conservative uncle was sucking dick on the side and Ellis was seen as the sympathetic character in the story. Then, the more the thread evolved, people started turning on Ellis for blackmailing and outing the guy and poo poo.

I think at the end, the conclusion was they both sucked. Haha. Here it is:

I think it was in gbs, people started googling unsecured webcams and posting feeds and some lonely guy noticed his webcam moving around because you could control some and then started to really enjoy the company

Yeah it was GBS. Hans was a bit of a minor celebrity, I think you could control his camera so he responded with hello signs.

There was one room that creeped people out as it looked like some barewalled bedroom dungeon that people started thinking it was something really bad. Then a dog came in to sleep on the bed.

Yup it was a little room for the dog.

The thing petered out as people didn't find much more interesting feeds. Most were store cameras, puppies, or views of cities.

Hans wasn't his name, if I remember right. It was just something goons called him until they got his attention. He was a great sport.

Some of those feeds DID look creepy and weird when robbed of any context though and seemed like an abject lesson in voyeurism and spying where everything is not "Rear Window". It was funny learning "oh, it's a veterinarian's office" or "a preschool". It was like watching "Paranormal Activity" with no payoff.

I'm a bit slow following up, but I had to go back and read the thread again to be sure of what I was seeing, and to try and understand more of the slang (like "pin" = "inject"). I meant it when I said that I wasn't posting quotes because there were so many I got tired of quoting. Here's what I mean:

From the OP: "Tren - Trenbolone (Acetate/Enanthate). God jerked off into a vial. Lucky you!".


Tren is peak steroid abuse. The guys at my gym refuse to sell it to anyone who isn't already competition level because it is literally "Bipolar in a bottle". Based off that and everything posted in the thread about it, I'll never go near it. Testosterone and Testosterone replacement therapy will be mainstream in the next 10 years though. Just look at the documentaries Bigger Stronger Faster* (2008) and the new Icarus (2017) one.

Yah, no poo poo, like, as someone who's been diagnosed type 2 bipolar, all this tren poo poo just seems like an *instantly injectible mania state*:

"effective doses of this drug makes you go into completely full blown mania and you make bad decisions and your dick needs 24/7 attention until it's bleeding"

Yeah, it feels good when you're *up*, for those few weeks. Nobody is denying that. It's a loving amazing feeling, but it's not *normal* and you *will* come down and have to deal with the consequences of what you've done. It's no different for any other manic state.

**STOP**

You have an easy opportunity to make it stop. **You've chosen to do this to yourself**. I don't. I have to take drugs to make it stop happening in the first place!

Please don't suicide yourself when you can't get cow steroids for a few months. The down-swing from a manic episode is brutal if you're not prepared for it. The higher you fly the lower you fall.

The other option is that his thick gets too meaty and his quads or biceps wrench themselves from their skeletal ligaments in the middle of a sick pump.

There was a story like that in Maxim a long while back. Dude barely survived sepsis, his body shut down a few times, endocrine system was just bonkers. Went in looking like the Hulk, walked out of the hospital like Bruce Banner doing a Professor Xavier impersonation.

ok, i read up a summary of the movie Icarus

quote:

When filmmaker Bryan Fogel sets out to uncover the truth about doping in sports, a chance meeting with a Russian scientist transforms his story from a personal experiment into a geopolitical thriller. Dirty urine, unexplained death and Olympic gold are all part of the exposure of the biggest scandal in sports history.

and i think it's actually saying doping/testosterone injections are bad, and not good

"Often depicted in art, Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris, asking that he fly neither too low nor too high, so the sea's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun; when the wax in his wings melted he tumbled out of the sky and fell into the sea where he drowned."

I believe I have gotten the Bigorexia problem.

So I have hit my peak weight of 185lbs again with about 2 weeks left to go on this cycle. How ever this time im not bloated at all, which I guess is good, but I feel small compared to when I was 185lbs and bloated as gently caress. I have also had such a poo poo time in other areas of my life during this cycle that my food intake has been poo poo, barely hitting 2500cals some days, in comparison to last time when I was able to easily hit 3500 every drat day. I feel small apart from when I get back from the gym and im pumped up, and even then i'm not happy. I almost feel emotional like when I was on PCT last time and went slightly off the rails a bit (not bad, just not my usual perky self) only im more angry than sad.

Pro tip, don't do a cycle and in the middle of it sell your house and look at other properties where you and your partner argue over what to buy, and don't have half the people you work with leave at a company that then dumps the workload on you in a profession where letting down the clients is one thing you cannot do.

It's weird having people telling me I have gotten massive now compared to my 135lbs/145lbs self, when I feel so small still.
