It is (nearly) November, nearly my birthday. Every year for the past 6/7 years I've thrown pizza parties but this year I just cannot be hosed. What's wrong with me AI? Wed MD says cancer (thought it always says that).

Fermented Tinal posted:Get your birthday poo poo on enough times by people and you stop giving a poo poo about it. 29th birthday was literally "Ignore Tinal the whole time and then yell at him for being rude because he decided to go home." Dude. That's poo poo. My friends are great but I'm just feeling super lazy about everything this year.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Is it just me or is it weird that adults throw birthday parties for themselves. A surprise party from friends/family I get, but planning one for yourself? Just seems odd to me. For party read 'come to my place on this particular date to eat pizza and get wrecked.'

In Ireland recently I had an 'Orchard Thieves' cider aaaaaaaand it's my favourite cider now. And you can only buy it England in Sainsburys in piddly little 330ml cans instead of the hulking great 660ml bottles over there. #firstworldproblems

In the UK it's been shown that the general public believe that 'lazy shiftless sad sacks' are leaching ten hundred billion quid from the pot. Fact is the real number is absolutely gently caress all in the grand scheme of things. Ironically those that are loving the country over are the huge multi million pound + companies. Not saying don't chase the small leeches but when you have huge ones feeding directly off your arteries you may want to prioritise a bit. Also I love not having to gently caress about doing taxes ever

InitialDave posted:Yeah. Just keep doing what you're doing and don't weigh yourself Fixed that. The only thing you should be focusing on are the weights of the poo poo you can lift and if you want to be a dweeb, your ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS. Buy a measuring tape, gently caress scales forever, you are not a woman.

Rhyno posted:The lower numbers on the scale are very satisfying! There's a point where you can't sustain it though hence it's a lovely way to do things. Diets basically starve you and muscle goes first, women just love to see the numbers fall so don't give a gently caress. If thought turned to body composition rather than actual weight, poo poo would be better for everyone. Rather than just watch numbers fall off a scale, become stronger, learn that body image is far more than something related to a loving scale that you slavishly stand on each day in order to see a number possibly go down a bit. If it doesn't go down, punish yourself by eating less than yesterday or fool yourself by drinking less water because you retain it. I genuinely hate everything to do with scales, it's a completely moronic way of doing things and leads to the delicious trap that is the never-ending cycle of failed faddy diets and other associated fuckery. I put on a shirt I bought a year ago and it's now too small for me. That's all I need to know about how my lifting is working out. My thighs rub like gently caress now and I'm destroying jeans because of it. gently caress scales forever. Eat good food, lift a weight, don't be a fanny.

InitialDave posted:I agree, though the team "weight loss" thing we've got going through work is based purely around weight loss (the idea is to drop at least 10% of your weight by mid-January). I have quite a few friends, ladies who've followed various diets and such and they're always frustrated that their lives then revolve around what they're allowed to eat. That's really not a way to live your life. Recently a few of them have discovered running/military fitness stuff and strangely they find they have to worry less about food because they're using it for fuel. One of them has slimmed down loads and become a bunch stronger, she doesn't even bother with scales because the trainer has banned them, he too thinks they're bullshit. Women's magazines are awful, pushing poo poo like 'toning up' which is a hilariously terrible way of saying 'building muscle' in order not to scare women into thinking as soon as they step into a gym or do any form of exercise they're going to turn into The Hulk. I loving wish it were that easy! And I have no clue how much I weigh, I last weighed myself maybe a year ago. I feel good, clothes fit better, I'm definitely stronger so I'm just gonna roll with it.

Liquid Communism posted:I desperately wish more fitness instructors would tell women to lift weights. The secret to looking 'toned' is having some muscle, and the female bodybuilder look that is used to scare people off isn't possible without a ton of work and usually chemical assistance. I've had conversations with friends about it. How many of the women you know have muscles that are too big? Do you think you can grow muscles overnight after a single gym session? Have you ever had the terrible affliction of muscles that were too swole? Strangely none of them ever answer that they know a woman who is super jacked from a single gym session, nor have they ever woken up the day after the gym to find out they were shredded to the point of being the world's most muscular woman. Toned means building muscle, yes but for some reason ladies seem to think that they'll turn into these juice head muscle freak women who are quite clearly on all sorts of drug cocktails as well as lifting heavy every day and eating a small child's weight in protein and then taking yet more supplements to fuel it. It's very odd that this is normal thinking when it comes to weights. InitialDave posted:My response to the "I don't want to get all big and muscley" was "if that happens by accident, I want whatever poo poo you're taking". Seriously.

Music chat: I was recently played this by a friend and it's been a while since I've been dumbstruck laughing by a band. It pretty much defies description. I'm not entirely sure I like it but it sure is interesting. quote:"I just want to make the music I love, without asking myself if it's gonna be too complex or too far from what people like. I want to make the music which has sense to me, with no restrictions, like a big party with metalheads, electronics nerds, classical and baroque-heads and gypsy violinists getting drunk and joining together to bring the best of every genre..." https://youtu.be/UBakgOHKI-g?t=5m50s Batshit.

I'm lucky it can process breathing most days). But I'm going to blast the gently caress out of this in the car. Eastern European folk music, metal blast beats, opera singers, funk bass, breakcore and loving chiptune. It's crazy. And that's just that one song. ADHD in song form. BraveUlysses posted:Lol, this reminds me that my dad took me to the Mario movie back in the day and holy poo poo that is a bad movie It was truly loving awful. I recall being on holiday in Turkey maybe when it was at the cinema. Of course this resulted in rolling round markets and coming home with that and Jurassic Park on possibly the worst VHS copy known to man, a camera in the cinema job, poorly focused and blown out because sensors back then didn't do bright light in a dark room and the copy itself was likely 30 generations deep. The best part of the film was the tiny little Bob-bomb wearing Reeboks

At least once? I seem to pick women who I know when it comes down to it will be able to prod me to such a point I say horrible things so I've done it a whole bunch of times. People can be horrible and when emotions run high things get said, likely true things but horrible hurtful shite overall. Kinda hard to de-escalate some situations though when someone's going at you. I don't regret any of it though.
