I realized this after I saw his post. I feel bad knowing there are legit issues outside of his control, but I also feel bad because regardless of ones mental capacity, dudes still a human and I was low key baiting/messing with him. Probably should work on that on here and in the real world.

Itās fine dudes. I donāt think anyone could tell. Like I said earlier, the functional ones are pretty normal. The average person wonāt be able to tell the difference easily.
I said I felt guilty earlier only because I remembered him mentioning his illness from a couple of months back, but only after I had made a couple of sarcastic posts. And I only remembered it because I have a schizo relative. I donāt think anyone else could possibly have recalled it even if they had read his old post.
But messing with a real troll is cool in my book. I wouldnāt feel guilty about that.

Oh great. Iām on vacation till the end of the year. But I made the mistake of checking my email.
A previous client liked some simple tech stuff I recently did for them that I mostly outsourced so much theyāve requested I do another more complex one early next year. Just sent me an email with a detailed excel sheet of their requirements and I donāt even understand 70% of the fucking words in it. Itās like some fucking sci-fi shit.
I just forwarded it to my other guys and told them to handle it and even they donāt understand half of what the fuckās in it.
Never check your business email on vacation.

Itās for next year so thereās ample time to prepare and I donāt want to lose this client lol. But it means now I have to connect the outsourced guys I was previously managing with my own guys and may even have to get further get referrals to even more advanced guys from them. Which means actually doing work. FUCK.
P.S, this client has some sort of thing in her email that alerts her when the emailās been opened or something so there was no escape lol.

The guy I blocked was specifically to avoid going after him. I decided he (I think he, maybe a she or a circle, who knows?) makes me too aggressive and I decided to avoid the trigger and play nice.

We talked about me getting a Prowler a while back. Maybe in April or so? I shopped around, considered making my own, etc. Eventually decided to go with Elitefts, even though I was warned about them (probably by you), just because I thought hey, itās one item, and probably decent quality, right?
Well, I bought it, and a few days later saw that it was sold out, like everything else. Score! They said itād ship in 2 weeks. In 2 weeks, I called them to inquire. It would be just a couple more weeks, COVID was slowing things down. Annoying, but understandable.
Now itās May, I repeatedly keep calling every few weeks and they say itās about to. Finally in late July I call, pretty fed up, and the customer service lady (it was the exact same woman I spoke to every time, they must only have one customer service employee) said āUm, that order was canceled in April. I donāt know you spoke to but they mustāve just not looked that closely at it and gotten confused.ā
I didnāt yell or lose my temper, not really my style, but I was angry, haha. You! You didnāt look closely enough at it! Weāve spoken every few weeks for months now and you kept telling me itād be here any day.
Rant over.

Man, that sucks, but not at all unexpected. Dave is a great dude, but his company has become a joke.
This is why they sold out equipment to Rogue, if Iām not mistaken.
That sucks!
my brother ordered a pair of dumbbells from Amazon about a month ago and they never arrived.
We called customer service, they looked into the order, and found that the seller was a scam. No indication from the reviews!
Iām seriously worried about whether Iāll be able to get a barbell and plates, even if/when my parents agree
Get a yard waste-size trash bag, some duct tape, some water, and a t-shirt.
Fill the bag with as much water as you want (you can probably get a weight up to at least 100lbs, squeeze out the remaining air, tape up the top of the bag so itās a fairly spill-proof blob, tape the bottom of the t shirt up, squeeze the bag through the neck hold into the new t-shirt āsack,ā and use the arm holes as handles.
You can curl it, put it on your back for pushups, hold it across your back for squats and lunges, etc. If you have no intent of using it twice or have nowhere to store it, all you gotta do is pour some water out and throw away a plastic bag.

Iāve worked in the supply side for a few different industries and no matter how you slice it, that is just shit customer service/communication.
Well this is disappointing. I thought Dave Tate always took pride in his companyās customer service
Eh, I canāt speak to how Mr. Tate feels about that stuff.
But I have had to deal with customers when discontinuing product lines and products requiring long lead times. An honest email and/or follow up call goes a long way in controlling expectations.
