Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

LOL :joy: Political leadership is the LAST thing I want to do

I don’t actually enjoy power over others and certainly want to stay out of the spotlight. In school projects though (especially in MS and HS) I didn’t really have a choice bc I was usually the only one who actually gave a crap and didn’t procrastinate

That’s just standard government, in fact if it’s only questionable not out right illegal or evil then you’re probably living in a decent country!

Thats kinda the whole idea of a club. Find like minded people, geek out on a couple of subjects and have an awkward hook up or two.

Thats why I won’t join any fly fishing clubs.

With financial gainz comes great power AND you can choose not to be in the spotlight- like Buffett

That’s why investing is so appealing to me. $$ without as much risk as entrepreneurship. Hidden influence

I’m not exactly what most ppl would call a ā€œgood personā€ but I’ve never had trouble finding ppl more senior than me to ā€œsponsorā€ me. Harder time with peers though

That fucker’s been dissing bitcoin in the media for years already lol.

But, seriously, yeah if you have a very special set of skills, what I wrote wouldn’t apply.

That’s his choice. I personally would stay out of the media.
he’s not alone on his views of Bitcoin . A couple of my profs who are experts in crypto are more than a little skeptical

Yeah, but they didn’t start whining about it when it was still $200 like Buffet did. I’m pretty sure the fucker just wanted to short it every time he made a public statement. Shit, he shorted the market the day Trump was inaugurated and made a killing IIRC.

They thought it was a joke. One of them gave a fraction of a Bitcoin away as a prize for best final presentation a couple of years ago. The student opened her account for research purposes last year and found that she had nearly 6k

EVERYONE I knew thought it was a joke and called me an idiot for holding it since 2016. The spike when the Shanghai stock exchange crashed and the CCP halted trading for 3 DAYS should have told them something. You could literally smell the impending market manipulation that was eventually going to happen in the region. Then it was reported that even the South Koreans were fucking around with it.

EDIT:

Seriously, I really, really want to know how much bitcoin Xi has stashed away somewhere. I’m 99.9% sure that he has quite a substantial stash somewhere, if only just to move money around overseas. It’s bloody hilarious when I think about it. I joke about this occasionally with my wife just to piss her off.

:joy: :joy: :joy:

My favorite thing to do used to be laying on my back and floating in the water and just relax, pool, ocean, lake, didn’t matter. I noticed last summer it was really really hard to float like that but I still could. Today was the first time I’ve been in the water this year and I sink like I’m holding a bag of concrete, straight to the bottom and sit there firmly planted. I was so sad and so excited by this :joy: #gainz

My home stay host has gluten free flour and said I could use it. My gut was acting up so I used that as an excuse to have soda bread and chicken broth for dinner instead of egg white omelette.

Extra carbs on non lifting day was probably not the best, but soda bread tasted really good

Even at 5’10" 268 I could never float on my back. I think I panic or something. My wife and 5 boys will all be kicked back floating in the pool but I’m flailing like crazy trying not to drown.

This is me. I am like a shark if I don’t move I sink like a stone.

Had a double bacon butter burger deluxe from Culver’s for Father’s Day (a day early).
Man do I miss those greasy burgers on a regular basis.

Transplanted from other thread to not derail it:

They won’t accept it. They’re like fat people who ā€œcan’tā€ lose weight. Obviously all of them have thy***d problems,

Seriously, every time a ā€œhardgainerā€ asks a question pertaining to why he’s not gaining weight, why is it always about his TRAINING PROGRAM? It’s like me asking someone what his name is and he tells me his mother’s name is ā€œMartha(!!!)ā€.

And then you see noobs going along with it by suggesting changing his program to shit like SS or Stronglifts if he’s doing some ridiculous some high volume ā€œbro splitā€ instead of asking for more details about what he’s really eating FIRST.

OF COURSE you’re gonna gain some weight if you lower the volume and increase rest days since you burn less calories, but that will still stall if you don’t increase calories. Changing the program doesn’t solve the ROOT of the problem even if it does need some modifications sometimes for different reasons.

Fucking common sense. Come on. USE IT.

And don’t listen to noobs.

EDIT:

I’ve had bloodwork done LOTS of times because I’ve used shit people shouldn’t be using in the past and my thy***d values ALWAYS came back normal even though I’ve always had to consume a ridiculous amount of calories just to gain, and now to MAINTAIN my weight. All my fucking life. Even while on shit that people shouldn’t be using.

Any clown dick who thinks he can ā€œdiagnoseā€ these issues online just by reading a couple of posts by someone should really get flamed all the way to the fucking 9th Circle of Hell. A Chinese clown dick would really be fucked. We have 18 levels.

And if you REALLY suspect you have any hormonal issues, GO GET TESTED. Don’t fucking speculate online with anonymous people whose backgrounds you don’t even know anything about.

I get what your saying. Hardgainers and the ā€œHealthy at Every Size Peopleā€ are one and the same.

No one wants to be root cause of their own problems. I started as a teen doing bro splits because that’s what I was taught, but I also consumed about 4-5k calories in a day. And I still lost weight at that time.
If perception is reality, most people are living in a messed up reality.

Also - 18 levels of hell, damn. I thought us Christians had it bad.
