I’ve been low carb so long that a sweet potato in and of itself will change my life, haha.
It’s the little things really.

I confess I will not buy anything labeled “Keto” without checking for sugar alcohols and other derivatives. Bought some Keto coconut clusters from Aldi and let’s just say the bathroom and I got well acquainted.

I’ve set some pretty bad ass (for me) life PR’s this weekend 
Came off call week last Thursday and looked at my bank account. I spent hundreds of dollars at gas stations in 7 days. HUNDREDS!
So since then o have been caffeine free. I was drinking 1-3 energy drinks a day. I was also dipping 2-3 cans of dip a day. I bought a can Friday morning and didn’t buy another one till Sunday morning and I still have that same can!
Also! I woke up at 4:40 today and did some fasted cardio. Treadmill then a little rower action.
I confess I kinda liked starting my day like that, which almost seems like a sin to admit.

It’s like jumping into cold water. Get the awful thing out of the way and everything else will seem awesome by comparison.

I confess that before yesterday I didn’t know that violent cuckolds were a thing.

Who commits the violence? I assume the men doing the other man’s wife? Men like to watch their wives be assaulted? Wow.
The guy that managed the store where we used to fuel up and get our daily snacks & stuff in the morning used to clear 10k by 9:00 am on fuel & food.
I would drop $20.00 on egg sammiches & snickers bars alone, but only because I’d make & bring my own coffee.

I was referring to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.

I gotta admit:
That was one glorious display of masculinity. Slapped the words right out of his mouth Then told him to shut it.
Fucking beautiful.

My view is exactly the opposite. Display of masculinity? Smith is a cuckold and his wife repeatedly went public with his numerous failings to explain their “arrangement” (her having a boyfried) which contributed to his psychological problems.
And then, Jada egged on the cuckold to defend her “honor” by attacking Rock in a situation where he’s less likely to hit back. That’s not masculinity, that’s frustrated cuckoldry.

Nooooo. Strip away the background noise and you have a man insulting another mans wife in front of millions of people.
In response Smith walks straight up and promptly corrected him, as any man should, regardless of underlying personal problems between man & wife.
I am just hoping that Eddie Hall and Thor fans take note that THIS is what it looks like when one man is legitimately upset with another.

What are the chances that is interaction was staged?

I respectfully disagree - he didn’t “promptly correct him”, only when he was told by the wife to take action to redeem his manhood.
I remember a pick up game of basketball a few years back (yes, middle aged men play basketball too). My bro tells me “watch out for that guy (on the other team), his wife is cheating on him and he knows it”
I had no idea what his wife cheating had to with our game of basketball, but five minutes into the game the guy is trying to start a fight over nothing. A futile attempt to reclaim his lost masculinity.

I am relieved that this week is my coworker’s (see below) last.
because he sent me the following quote from Catch-22 without context (not that it would be much better with it) via Slack:
“Hasn’t it ever occurred to you that in your promiscuous pursuit of women you are merely trying to assuage your subconscious fears of sexual impotence?”
“Yes, sir, it has.”
“Then why do you do it?”
“To assuage my fears of sexual impotence.”

I dunno.
I think they took a moment, a very short one at that, and agreed that Rock went to the wrong place with that joke (given some time for it to register or land) then promptly corrected him.
Guy on the b-ball court just has problems with misdirected agression.
Eh. I just cant touch that. Too icky.

On a related note: I confess that I used an econ research club meeting to preemptively signal my boundaries with someone, then proceeded to discuss a model of a similar situation with him
Jesus, man.
A non-response is probably best, but there’s a lot of gold from The 40 Year Old Virgin you could’ve sent back.

Okay, that was a little far.
I’m just saying that Will Smith went from a beloved public figure to a beta cuck who slaps people when they upset his frequently unfaithful wife.
If anyone in this scenario needed to be slapped; it was both Will Smith and his wife.
