Goddamn inflation...

What do you mean by "competitive programming"? Is that just working specifically towards CrossFit events or whatever or do you mean something else?

This is me too, really seems like a blast and like a great way to expand one's repertoire of movements and capabilities, but I just tend to be injury prone, plus now old, so I've always been gun shy about self-teaching the Olympic lifts. And man, I have taught myself so much stuff across a wide range of domains lol.

Sadly I'm just also way too cheap (broke) for a coach. Bring on the AI form trainer!...? But then again, maybe it hallucinates, I try its bad advice, and turn my spine into an accordion...

I just bought two oldish business class Dell laptops this last week and put Bazzite on em both, for the fam. Easing out our Chromebooks we've used for minor things, just can't abide a machine that won't let me actually own it anymore, with the way the world's going.

Not exactly revolutionary lol, but your enthusiasm demanded something in response, so I wanted to let you know that we (and I bet lots of others!) are all in. And I really hope you keep doing stuff like this!!

If I haven't contributed something to Lutris by this year's Hacktoberfest, by golly I'm committing (heh) to putting an open issue to rest during best month.

Cheers and thanks again!!

Apologies I'm so late, didn't really have anything to add. But I've noticed your comments since this wee little exchange more and more, esp. on db0, and I like how you get down.

Sell me on PieFed if you feel like it!

This looks dope, thanks!

Absolutely vile. And you know this is just the tip of the iceberg with these companies. Our country is so mega-fucked.

Yeah, I don't begrudge him for it really, he's just playing the game, same as anyone else who tries to make money from YouTube. Can't really be done in a way that isn't obnoxious. And to be honest, I may never have realized the wealth of knowledge he has and shares, without his YouTube presence, so I mean. I'm part of the problem lol.

And yeah, $25/month is just way too much for an app for me, I can repeatedly injure myself for free, thank you very much. All jokes aside though I'd imagine it's pretty quality, he seems like a serious dude.

I like this one - Israetel isn't always my favorite, but he does strike me as extremely knowledgeable and with a sincere commitment to avoid the flood of pseudoscience that is the plague of the industry.

Be aware - this link isn't just the form cues, but if you follow each muscle group link, within each sub-article is a table with links to zero-fluff 30 second YouTube videos demonstrating form for a huge number of exercises. Cool shit.

And the only way election reform happens is if we get the corporate Dems who like things the way they are (AKA roughly all of them) out of power. It's damn near hopeless.

I'd commit grave sins to be able to inhabit and play in Reynolds' Revelation Space universe. The bizarre post-human factions alone, so alien and horrifying in the best way. Could legit make for a really dark MMO. I'd have to go Ultra, though, no question.

The extreme timescales, the highly personal, self-driven body modification, culminating in a truly unique, grotesque sort of personality to one's own body...one which can't help but physically, visibly project the creeping, gibbering paranoia nurtured by millennia spent slowly becoming so estranged from every other lifeform once called kin, making one's journey through time and space utterly, irreversibly alone, even when traveling with others...

For sheer thrill and a tight looter-shooter game, on the other hand, I'd be SO stoked for one using his Revenger universe. Ohhhh to crack those baubles, each a potential Pandora's box of hilariously dangerous relics involving hideous and long-forgotten exotic physics...not to mention, who knows who or what has been lurking just beyond perception, waiting for you to do the risky dirty work of extracting some particularly nasty doodad...

One can dream.

Well it's the same as pulling yourself up by your bootstraps! Everyone worth any respect at all has gotta be a self-made man, a rugged individualist, a lone wolf! Help is for snowflakes and libtards, these patriots don't take handouts, they'd never be caught dead getting bailed out by Uncle Sam, they assume full responsibility! After the real adults solve the fucking crisis, anyway. And rinse and repeat.

It's cartoon language for cartoon people, from the politicians to the voters and back. Their world view is a 12 year old's embarrassingly shitty fanfic of reality. Just utterly shameful.

(I know you know all that, that passage just stuck out to me too as egregiously disingenuous double speak and it pissed me right off)

Edit: spewed more vitriol, lol
