He comes across more as self hating rather than a racist
Heās NOT a racist. Iām NEITHER saying NOR implying heās a racist. IME Indian dudes normally go ballistic when you troll them like that. Since this dude is so sensitive, Iād expect to see the thread going fucking nuclear lol.
True story:
One Chinese idiot in class started laughing and kept on doing it while repeating the words āIndiansā and āsoapā to himself when the teacher started a subject about soap being manufactured in India. Obviously this was triggered by his association with more traditional Indians having the smell of some kind of incense or oils they use for prayers that some people canāt stand the smell of and a stupid perception that they donāt take baths or something.
As I said, heās an idiot.
I saw the the way one of my crazy Indian friendās face change and immediately KNEW he was going to beat the living fuck out that idiot during our break so I got them both outside of schoolgrounds before this happened. This was to protect MY FRIEND since he would have gotten into trouble if he kicked his ass in school. It would have happened one way or another. There was no way to defend him verbally to avoid an ass kicking since my friend was and still is fucking crazy.
I had to use the āone on oneā āstreet rulesā to convince him to take it outside and I made sure it was in a secluded area because If people around had unwittingly stopped the āfightā while it was happening, there was a high probability that my friend would have gotten a group of his friends to beat him up outside of school and the idiot would have suffered a lot more injuries. This was when I had moved to a developed nation but there were still a couple of old gangs and my friend was cool with the Indian one that ācontrolledā the territory around that area but very few people at our ages knew the concept of āstreet rulesā.
But amongst friends, we would even greet one another with a racial slur most of the time. Go ask your best friend what āManjen Kunjiā means if he speaks Tamil lol. Thatās how my crazy friend usually greets me even up to this day. For the easily triggered here, please donāt fucking google it.
At the very end of my paper route was a KFC, and after doing all of my collecting for the week Iād end it there with a family sized bowl of mashed potatoes & gravy and a YooHoo.
That was as good as anything could ever taste for a multitude of reasons.

Man, I already saw how he responded when I gave him the one piece of advice he actually took up (stop eating Cool Whip for breakfastā¦).
I can only imagine the meltdown if I tried being a jerk, haha.

Anyone else watch chiropractic and/or asmr videos. They are very relaxing.
I confess I chuckled at the thought of this way more than I should have
We get 2 turkeys for Christmas in our house most years. One for me, the other also mostly for me because I need leftovers for leftover turkey sarnies.

I think you have years of climbing experience. I started similarly and have never torn a callous.
Soā¦ have I missed anything of interest on here as of late?

I confess that whenever I read advice to do farmerās walk or weighted carries I scoff to myself and ignore it.
Yesterday morning I had to deliver a 20kg bag of dog food to a woman who trains in the gym with me. Itās a 10/12 minute walk so I thought, Iāll just sling it over my shoulder and carry it there, no sweat.
I think it was Dan John who said, carry something heavy and every part of your body will have an opinion about it the next day. Which I thought was bullshit.
I confess that he was right and I was wrong.

Or just turn around so you dont see the mirror. I find my foot position with my eyes closed, but thatās about it. Some people (some far more famous than others) stand by doing exercises with their eyes closed to increase mind-muscle connection and rep āfeelā. Iāve done it for many standard exercises - still dont know if i would suggest this method for most powerlifts though.

It was just a dude who went nuts when the flaws in his thought process were pointed out with a bit of sarcasm - the type of sarcasm that you wouldnāt even give a single thought about and would probably laugh at if it were a conversation IRL.
I confess that after thinking about all these, Iām pretty amazed that the very generation (the dudeās 23yrs old) that grew up with the internet do not know how to differentiate between this and statements with actual malice involved or at least give the party perceived as being āoffensiveā the benefit of the doubt due to the lack of vocal tone and body language when communicating in writing.
I mean, if it was one of us old farts, I probably would have tried to explain this shit to him in his log but given his age and how utterly convinced he was that he was being fucked with along with the fucking almost completely benign statements he took such grievous offense at, I simply couldnāt be bothered.

Iāve been alternating 1 day of lifting with 1 day of yoga, and my confession is that I absolutely love it ā yoga, that is.
Sure, Iāve done it intermittently in the past, but now I spend 30-40 minutes doing a session, light a manly scented candle, and finish off with a relaxing tub or contrast shower. Sleep like a baby after.
Yogaās the shit, bitches.

I offered a legit sincere apology and he decided heād rather just be mad, haha.
The best part was, I thought I WAS being nice in my reply. I had SO many other things I wanted to say when I read about Cool Whip for breakfast after he posted about contemplating going to get his hormones evaluatedā¦
