Slow walkers in a crowded grocery store.
Worse - people who go the āwrongā way with the carts in a crowded grocery store.

I get your frustration
At least you have a legit physical limitation.
I ācouldnātā deadlift for 6 months even though I felt 100% fine

Regardless, thanks!
If you can. Squat as much as possible- it really transfers

I want to ask you people (as people in general) a simple question: do you treat your bathrooms at home the same way you treat the one at the gym? There is water goddamn everywhere all the time. And that is the charitable interpretation of the nature of that fluid. Surely, some of that is straight up piss. So worse case scenario is that there is constantly just piss everywhere in that gym toilet. WTF are you people doing in there?
Let the record show that absolutely zero of that water/piss you see there is from me.

My dorm bathroom is worse. At one point there was literally shit on the stall door (donāt even get started with the toilets)
Bad breathe. This guy sitting in front of me facing each other. Ughhh disgusting.
Things that piss me off?
My own time management skills, or lack thereof~
Sigh - sometimes I am my own worst enemy~
yaāknow?

I havenāt bought a handgun in the Peopleās Republic of Maryland in a while so I looked up the current requirements (read hoops & extra taxes) in case I buy one later this year. Need a license (HQL) that cost $50 + $20/10 years and get fingerprinted. At least Iām exempt from the training requirement. Such gracious overlords.
At least this has helped reduce murder in Baltimoreā¦
Iāll probably get red flagged for complaining about it on the internet.
I fucking hate this State.

Hey manā¦ have you looked up how hard it is to get a handgun in Ausā¦ you need
- a gun safe
- criminal background check
- be a member of a shooting club
- fill out a ton of paper work, after which youāve got a 28 day cooling period before you can actuallt purchase a gun
- be subject to random, unannounced police housechecks
Very easy to get a rifle/shotgun if youāre rural like I am though, with these firearms not all of these restrictions apply
Gun ownership is considered a privilege rather than a right here, but the problem isā¦ those who are of a low socioeconomic demographic literally canāt afford to have handguns nowā¦ (gun safe, shooters club membership)
However if the handgun is a cap/ball revolver manufactured before 1901 all these regulations go out the window if youāre in QLD or VIC
So whilst Iām not a fan of guns, I sympathise with youāre struggle as Iāve attempted to get started with skeet shooting, but jeezā¦ I really donāt like cops, donāt want them looking through my shit
Had one bad experience almost getting arrested for possession of cannabis (and a TIIINNNNY amount mind you)

Yaā¦ Australia lost their mind a while ago. Along with half the world at least.
Australia has become a police state of sorts, NSW and QLD being the worst. Iām actually all for stricter gun controlā¦ but not to the extent we have in Aus, I like the models present in Canada/Alaska. Very high rates of gun ownership but low rates of gun violence
In Australia shootings/stabbings (moreso stabbings) happen, but it isnāt talked about very much
For instance, if youāre a felon/have been convicted of a violent crime I donāt think you should be able to purchase a gun

I lean towards less restrictions, but thereās plenty of middle ground to be found. But, I digress. Donāt want to open that can of worms, lol.

So you need to pay for the license and get fingerprinted, while others without military experience (Iām assuming thatās why youāre exempt) need some training? Thatās the extent of it, right?
I have literally zero hidden motives for asking, Iām just making sure Iām clear on what you meant.
Yup plus the standard background check.
We can create another thread on this and talk about this topic, waitā¦ I think thereās a thread on thisā¦ letās talk on there
But gun violence per capita when adjusted for populace in America vs Australiaā¦ American rates are still a good 10x higherā¦ at LEASTā¦ mightāve been 20x higher
I donāt recall the exact number, I did quite a bit of research on this a while ago.
Something that pisses me off are people who purposefully drop weights in gymā¦ like youāll be doing curls with 25lb dumbbells, afterwards you lift them up over youāre head and drop themā¦
Letās not ā¦ something about a dead horse
Iāll have to remain skeptical of your numbers but if you say soā¦
Yea, I donāt get this either; itās dangerous and an unnecessary distractionā¦
I spilled a bit of water on my MacBook keyboard and now the keyboard wonāt work- seriously, are they that fragile???
I put it on top of a fan for a couple of hours last night and it still doesnāt work
