Manipulativeness

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”

IMO this way you let them know you’re interested in maintaining a relationship but at a friendship level. You demonstrate that you care about their feelings while clearly establishing the need for specific boundaries.

It’s the same combination on my luggage!

So the issue is that there are SO many factors. Bones have nothing to do with it, it’s more about genetics. Things like myostatin proteins limit muscle growth. Animals that have mutated disruptions to the development of the protein have higher muscle mass - look up Belgium Blue cattle, you’ll see some BIG cows there.

Steroids help you recover more quickly, making it easier for you to work out more, and therefore put on more muscle. Not everyone is going to look like Arnold or Channing Tatum, your muscle distribution is going to vary entirely on your genetics, but you can absolutely look like a monster. You might just put on mass easier on your quads and your chest than your shoulders and calves, for example. Hyper-focusing on these elements will also warp your perspective. Sizes for gloves are arbitrary, so you might also be severely distorting your self-image. There’s a lot of different factors to consider.

Your bones got nothing to do with it. If you pushed your training and dieting to the maximum, you could look like the Hulk… if you started to abuse steroids. Else-wise, the most you’ll do is look fit.

I went to bed at 10pm after cleaning my bathroom and putting away my clothes. I woke up 5 hours later with a cold. No regerts

So, fun fact, when most people are able to recall whatever incredible idea or artistic vision they had in their dream, they soon realize that it was just their memory replaying something that already existed. An obscure song that you forgot about, a scene from an old movie that you’d think would make for a funny comic strip, etc. Now, this doesn’t mean that people aren’t creative and can’t dream of new things, it just means that your dreams just churn out a vomit of things you’ve processed before.

I wanna see a Dog Wick spin-off. John is the one that stays at home and the dog goes out to protect him

On a little vacay in Istanbul. This cat came to hang out at a restaurant down the street. He pawed my thigh, I thought he was gonna jump on me to ask me for pets and food, but I had no food left. I told him “sorry buddy I’m outta food.” Turns out he knew & was just pawing my thigh to move it so he could leave and find his next target.

I’ve seen people give full meals to this cat, he’s well fed.
