I keep on posting my rubbish, here in this thread.
Hey @dt79, got one for you.
Wow! That is one ballsy bug!
Iāve hit a few stink bugs with a plasma cone while welding, so I kinda know how itās going to go for that mantis, but heās pretty locked in. If that blast of liquid metal didnāt change his mind, it aināt changing.
Fearless!
Super boring shit incoming!
I get a chuckle whenever a barely literate co-worker tries to correct my punctuation, diction, and syntax in a 5 sentence long email. Like, bro, I just need you to deliver your fuckinā work so we can move the project forward, not edit for the NYTimesā¦
Heād get along sooo well with my advisor⦠![]()
People who wear fitbits or similar.
I donāt think I have ever seen a truly in shape person wearing a fitbit.
I also believe that have actually increased body dismorphia by tricking people into thinking that walking is all it takes to get in shape.
It probably shouldnāt make me laugh, but it does.
I tend to agree with you on the trend at large, but I have definitely met a few notable exceptions. My stepbrother for instance. Man wears some ring that tells him his heart rate, sleep, E levels, like everything. He is super involved with it, schedules his work and his workouts around when he is at highest energy levels, notes changes in his resting heart rate to indicate he is getting to stressed, etc. he references the ring (on an app) probably at least once an hour.
Hes also 43, with a 275x3 bench, can knock out muscle ups with ease, has a sub 6 min mile, and recently qualified to go compete at the Spartan race championships in Greece.
If your really into athletics and health overall, I think they can be awesome. If you arenāt an elite athlete who is highly intuned with your body, probably a waste of time
I call these kinds of things fitness tokens that people buy to blame their condition on.
Like āDamn. I canāt lose weight. I bought a fit bit and everything. Piece of shit. What a rip offā¦ā
And now the conversation is about fit bits instead of dietary and exercise practices.
Hmm, I like that term.
Applies to many other aspects of life too.
I wore a Fitbit for about a week. I got it as a birthday gift. I ended up giving it up because I set the thing for a few reminders and I started getting annoyed at it nagging me to go to bed or whatever reminder I had set ![]()
It also said I got great sleep which I disagreed with and I was only interested in it telling me my sleep was awful. ![]()
He appears to be getting weirder and weirder.
reminds me of Joel Seedman
