What I just posted on that site, which means, it can be read by those who come here:

@ David Futrelle

Glad that you provided the link, because where the hell did I brag?

You can engage me here, or there, it dont matter.

What I wanted to show what behavior comes natural to you.

You can compare my welcome here to Fibinachis there.

If that post makes it through moderation that is.

Us dumb meatheads have ,manners.

I know, right !?!

…

And I mean that.

I raise a shitstorm there, all Fibinachi gets here is DYEL?

Turns out she does?

So either Mr Futrelle will let my post stand, or some people will find out on their own whats what.

Slowly tearing down the cathedral, one win-lose scenario after another. [/quote]

Could it be that we are more well adjusted and secure?[/quote]

No way.

Feminists are superior in every way.

They only lose their shit because we are lacking.

All right, lets get to the heart of the matter, why should a man of sound heart, body and mind marry these days?

[/quote]

You tell me - you brought it up. Maybe for the tax benefits, or because you want to live with someone else? Those are my two guesses.

… Was that it? I could’ave sworn you had this entire list of stuff.

Thank you for the squat recommendations, though. I have a minor back complication, but I assume I can just do them anyway. Which is superior, front squats or the standard version of shouldering the weights?

I think front squats are superior but honestly, I wont recommend something I can only arse myself to do every now and then.

Marriage is on my mind because, well, my age, and also because it is a godrotten deal for men.

I have no problem with emancipation, but femininism is a joke.

Yeah, you can make it so that every reproductive right is squarely in the womens court, but, quite frankly, why would any man with even a modicum of self respect sign that deal?

There is unfortunately no English equivalent, but in German there is the idea " That you can win yourself to death".

Meaning, in this case, that you draw all the benefits to your side, but, why would any man agree to sign this shit?

Try both. Or alternate when you can.

Check some of the discussions here on proper squat form. That’s really going to help.

126

People who assert that squatting is universally superior to leg pressing likely don’t know what they’re talking about.

If you have a “back complication,” I’d recommend sorting that out before getting under a bar.

Being hardcore is cool, but not as frosty as all those ice packs you’ll need once you find yourself stuck in Snap City for the next 6-8 weeks.

Come on, your body is designed to move as a unit, isolation exercises may have their place, but they better come with a good reason.

Pyrrhic victory? Probably not, but at least I’m throwing out words.

An impasse?

A I was negotiating with a guy at work that was trying to sell his truck but it was registered in a different state, had a broken window and needed a few other minor repairs that added up.

He said he wasn’t going to change the registration or do any repairs until he had cash in hand for it.

I responded “Then you have created an impasse. This deal is dead.”.

Penis envy?

And damn you for making me look up perdacious.

…which did not help at all. Did you just make that up?[/quote]

Cut and pasted from the previous post. Predacious, pernicious, delicious ,whatever. I don’t make a point of disagreeing with everything you say, but if you’re going to accuse women of penis envy then you should stop describing irresponsible fathers as ‘alpha dicks’.

I dont know what your issue is here, but I think it matters.

Could you elaborate?

Yeah but you post was this close to kicking something loose in my brain and I would be grateful if you would go the extra mile to get the job done.

And no, I can not tell you which way to go, because if I could I would already have been there?

With a funny twist that you may appreciate- A few days later electrical system failure left him stranded on Duquesne ave. at 2:30 in the morning.

No one wants to be that guy.
