DB bench: 3x845lb dbs

  • the pressing and bench felt a lot better than expected

Random rambling

  • I can’t believe that after a full year of searching, I STILL have not found a suitable replacement for my friend (that one)… I have a paper that I’m struggling with and none of my other econ friends are of any use. Contractual counterparty is banned for being creepy to me, the new econ friend is dealing with his frat, president of ERC is busy with his grad school stuff
    Now that my friend (that one) is even more time constrained, I can’t even go to him for help. So yeah, I’m now stuck without anyone to turn to. so frustrating!

No training today but some “drama” ig?

Turns out my friend (that one)'s girlfriend lives in my building.
I had seen her many times in the kitchen but didn’t recognise her until she introduced herself. She’s a really nice person (much better personality than me lol).

idk… there’s something so satisfying in seeing such a perfect match, at the same time, it strangely bothers me.

anyways, this whole situation has been interfering with my productivity much more than it should, and to make things worse, I am not mathematically competent enough to understand the freaking paper with a model that captures a similar situation… and he’s the one who usually helps me when I’m stuck… gahhhhh

Subconscious jealousy. The mammalian part of your brain is tryin to overpower your prefrontal cortex.

Great… so now I need to incorporate a dual self model…… :sob:

You have to stop trying to model an entire person - it’s not possible (I really wish it was).
You can predict certain behaviors and biological functions but we don’t even completely understand how the brain works

It’s the reason we don’t have general intelligence level “AI” yet. The human brain/feelings/emotions don’t run on equations and binaries.

Yup.

Its why we have existentialism. In an alternate reality, Nietzsche was a quantum mechanic instead.

One time, I had a girlfriend and she broke up with me.

It hurt and I moved on.

I don’t need it to be accurate. Modelling is something I like. It makes it easier to process things when they are framed as prices, matching, signalling etc

Ig another reason modelling is so important to me js that it’s a big part of what I’m going tk do in grad school and I’m not in that great of a position to be able to do this as of now. He is.

But when it comes to humans as a whole person this model is too inaccurate to be used. To many input and possible output variables, every combination would produce an uncountable set.

This simply a matter of time and you will do fine.

How do ppl learn how to adult?

Last night, my mum was switching phone plans and apparently she’d be in the Verizon office for 6 hrs. I got really frustrated after 1 hr. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with 6 hours
