deviled eggs?
have you tried sprinkling a bit of paprika on top?
I like to tear my bread into little pieces and use it to wipe up any juices
As with a lot of these havenots discussions, once it starts there is no end, each and every time it never ends. In a few decades anyone not obese will be on something.
As much as wish you was just joking⦠your probably not far from the truth.
Iāve been looking around at new gyms to join. A new mega gym just opened up 10 minutes from me and I just checked their insta. Place is chalk full of Prime equipment! Same stuff Meadows uses that has different loading options to change the resistance curve!
Iām so excited I just wanted to tell somebody lol so here I am ![]()
This whole fat acceptance thing is beyond ridiculous
I had a relative I thought was crazy who would tell me how we were manipulated to focus on nonsense to distract us from actual issues.
Now, decades later, Iām finding it difficult to disagree. On the bright side, Dorian Yates believed similar stuff and he is big and strong so thereās that
On the brighter yet side, shit is still pretty good if you donāt let yourself get sucked in.
Sleep is still driving me crazy. I think I may start a sleep log. The fucking dreams have gone rogue,
Last night I was drifting off to sleep but I remembered I still had to do something and decided to get up. Then I realized that I was ALREADY ASLEEP and dreaming that I was drifting off so I woke myself up only to find that I wasnāt really awake when I stepped out of the room so I woke myself up again.
I think itās because I was watching an old movie starring Denzel and Russell Crowe called Virtuosity. Itās actually a pretty good movie which had really awful dialogue and a couple of really mindblowingly absurd scenes.
Get this. Russell Crowe is a sentient AI. He has an evil plan to tell the scientist guy who created him. Since he has no physical form yet at the time, heās communicating from a projection of him on a large flat screen smart TV long before these were in everyoneās household. He tells the scientist guy to come closer to the screen while the screen heās communicating from zooms in on his image so he can WHISPER his evil plan to him. What the fuck? The speakers are built ON the monitor? Was I watching Zoolander?
This deserves another:
Whatās the fitness model situation like at the new gym?
Havenāt checked it out in person. As far as I know (from talking with other people who got my current gym) the gym Iām at now is the MECA for Instagram models lol. Itās kinda distracting though. Plus as I hear up to run a legit program, Iāll need consistent access to racks and barbells, something which this current gym lacks.
I plan to get day passes to a few and try them out before making my mind up
Iām all for the notion of not basing someone worth solely on say ones appearance.
But donāt push the narrative that being excessively over weight doesnāt carry any negative consequences health wise down the road.
I guess ppl are getting fatter and want to hear that getting fat is okayā¦
Confessions:
- Iām pissed bc I thought I thought Iād get lab work done tomorrow so I messed up my workout schedule. The lab work is going to be next week so that means next week is messed up too
- There is something uniquely satisfying about scooping nut butter directly out of the jar.
- My research advisor is really getting on my nerves. Iām working on a project that relies on his database (which Iām helping to build). Heās gone MIA and wonāt even let me know how I can help him as an RA
It could be worse. You could have gone to the hairdresser and told her you wanted a haircut like Katy Perry ( complete with pic) and come put looking like Jethro Gibbs off NCIS. ![]()

Good thing I donāt take myself too seriously.

Iām not an academic but Iāve done this to final year students doing their attachments with my company. Although itās mostly because I occasionally get last minute changes or fuckups for projects that screw up my entire schedule for days on end due to the nature of my business, I canāt honestly say sometimes I just want to screw with them and see what they can do without my presence lol.
On a separate note, Iām on the verge of becoming Xiaomiās biggest shill. I canāt believe the level their technology has gotten to and the prices they offer. I canāt even believe Iām saying this about a product from China now. Normally it was the other way around because the quality control in China sucks(lots of shady stuff like bribery for certifications of approval and shit). They gave you shitty parts while lying about their technology and charged double the retail price for foreign markets.
Capitalism is good. So is greed with preserving the integrity and longevity of the brand in mind since the goal is still profit maximization.
(No offense to China persons. You guys and gals should in their 30s and above should know very well what it was like until after around 2010 for ordering bulk products on the business end and before legit online shopping platforms exploded on the consumer end. What I wrote was a bigass understatement.
In 2009 I was still going through a middleman in HK acting as an escrow service when I purchased goods in bulk under the advisement of a contact based in China who also used their services. They wouldnāt even trust their own local suppliers while doing shady shit themselves at that time despite the Alibaba platform being already up and running with āgold membersā and shit to āproveā the legitimacy of suppliers.)
Which gives me the excuse to post my favorite movie quote of all time:
āNever trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders. The man canāt even trust his own pants.ā
- Once Upon a Time in the West
And both of them wear it damn well
If your mom tells you, āOh! You need to do something with that.ā You know you are in trouble ![]()

One of my old favorites was in the mid 00ās I was working for an automation/robotics company. The Chinese govt. sent over an envoy of engineers to inspect some equipment we were building for them to ensure that it contained no Chinese made parts or electronic components, because it was extremely important that the machines worked as expected.

Yeah, Iāve heard of similar things from associates in China. I didnāt know they even did this overseas. This is the kind of stuff that normal people living in the developed world either wonāt believe or arenāt able to fathom until they see it for themselves lol.
I had a hard time understanding it before my own eyes. ![]()
