It's Sic Semper Tyrannis. You said, "Ever faithful terrible lizard."
Alright fit goons, I need advice.

My end of year goal is visible abs, basically getting back to when I had a swimmer's body. I don't give a poo poo about being bulky or anything else, just less stomach and more visible muscle.

I'm 6'3 188lbs probably more skinny fat than anything. I don't have issues gaining, I just hate being more than 195, I feel heavy. I've done starting strength before and while it's super effective eventually I reach a point on squats usually around 225 where it's so much effort that it slows down the entire workout. I almost always stop lifting around that point because each workout is so incredibly taxing. I can and do cook for myself frequently but I am incapable of going carb free because it causes my IBS to go bananas.

I'm open to suggestions.

And by avoiding the kitchen when you aren't specifically making abs as I understand it.

(haven't had visible abs since I was a teenager, so this is not actual advice)

Ab definition is mainly the absence of fat. So you basically need to not eat until the fat reserves over your abs are reduced.

Severe dehydration also increases definition iirc, but don't do that for obvious reasons.

1) the dinner table push away - don't eat so goddamn much

2) horizontal head turns - say no to peoole offering you lovely food

Found the article (it's from last year):

quote:

Not only was Tiny Tim’s medical care cut off, but the whole Cratchett family was rendered destitute and starving. As Scrooge had already been paying Cratchett more than anyone else was willing to, even before the imprudent raise, we have to assume Cratchett made less after Scrooge went out of business than he did at the beginning of the story, if he convinced anyone to employ him at all.

Worse even than the misfortune that befell Scrooge, Cratchett and Tiny Tim was the misfortune visited upon society as a whole. How many profitable ventures were never financed, both before and after Scrooge went out of business from investing with his heart instead of his head? How many future jobs were destroyed and children of unemployed fathers left sick and hungry?

I...have no clue if it's satire or not. this is from the Foundation for Economic Education....which again I have no idea whether it's a satirical site or not.

e: the site did ask me to donate and made sure to let me know it accepts bitcoins.

Depebds on what you are cooking. If you just need a liquid, then no. If you are trying to impart a flavor, then yes.

I mean 2016 was bad because all your favorite celebrities died and it was dominated between an overbearing campaign between two terrible human beings for president.

Then the worse one won and 2017 was all about that along with the diminished capabilities of once functioning systems. Also turns out all your favorite celebrities rape women and/or kids.

Alright, first off do not buy this or spend any money on cat toys ever, get a piece of wire and tape some cardboard to the end of it and your cat will be eternally happy if you wave it around.

Having said that if you're an idiot and feel stupidly that you should get your cat a gift this is a goddamned hit. I opened it up an hour ago, spun the balls around to show her how it worked, and the cat is still lying around fascinated with it. This is addicted to an MMO levels of things according to cat time.

I have a ball stuck in track toy that my cats loved the poo poo out of for approximately one week and then they decided gently caress off this is impossible to solve and never so much as looked at it again.

Also it should not be possible to "call a swat team on someone" that's on the cops, and of course, the absolutely key part here is police murdered an unarmed civilian without any provocation whatsoever based on a phone call tip. Someone could give my address as a random address and the cops could show up and murder me or my wife. I mean, I'm white, so my chances of being randomly murdered are lower, but still non-zero.

And we're all so jaded about this happening constantly that we're probably not even going to still be talking about it tomorrow.
