If you want to bulk up a bit more, I suspect you’re already good at jogging. Do that a bit more regularly, and then also, pushups and crunches and squats, basically.

I’m sure an actual body builder type person or comm could give you more detailed advice, but broadly… if you want more pecs, use em more often lol, pushups with proper form, or other excercizes that target them. Pullups for traps and delts, I think?

Ah, sorry, I’m just explaining the joke then, woops!

(cough maybe trying to trigger any console fanboys cough)

In fairness to yourself, Venus has long been known, by many human societies and cultures, as something approximating ‘the morning star’.

Your experience of being confused, or perhaps awestruck by it is thus… exceedingly human.

Take it all in.

The beauty, the colors, what the wind and rain and sun feel like on your skin, the cries of the birds and cicadas.

…We are from this ‘outside’. It is where our father’s fathers and mother’s mothers all grew up. Yes, we invented cvilization to shelter us from its cruelties… but it is also very beautiful and therapeutic, in ways we still cannot simulate with our fancy tools and toys.

Here.

Someone who put it into a much more beautiful prose than I can:

Carl Sagan, The Pale Blue Dot.

C Suite and most of management are so fucking full of themselves, they do not realize how incompetent they are.

For them, its mostly just about feeling big, important and in charge, able to excercize power over their minions, blame them for their own failures.

They’re basically cosplaying as businessmen/women at this point, the actual work is ancillary, the more important thing is the lifestyle, the performance of being better than others, the performance of ‘im an important business leader’.

These morons are broadly comically inept at doing their actual jobs, the things they are ostensibly paid to do. Any objective outside observer could conclude this. These clowns ae just addicted to feeling important, superior, better than you. They forgot what accountability and consequences feel like.

Did you ever have a furby?

As agameanonymous says… there are many… unsettling quirks about having one long term.

I had one.

Woukdn’t stop fucking yammering, clattering its beak, clicking its eyes.

Took it outside, doused it in fire accelerant, burned it till it stopped making noises.

One can unintentionally spread misinfo, but sure, I hear you.

‘Dubious claims’ is maybe a less harsh phrasing.

Consoles are usually just weird, cheap, locked down, underpowered pcs, that only play certain brands/formats of games, and have unique cases, lol.

It basically means ‘thing that is (usually) for your living room what plays video games and such’.

The woe of mortals is a shared delicacy, some other mortals appreciate it as well.

Ah so Rbnsft is spreading misinfo.

I’m not able to find anything that corroborates Canuck’s claim that prompted my question.

At this point I’m assuming they were also talking out their ass.

Disney got them at a discounted price?

I fairly frequently try out games made for Windows, released on Itch, me running Linux.

Yeah, some are not well optimized… but these are basically alpha builds of (usually solo dev) indie games, so, yeah basically, works pretty much as well it can.

Can’t say I’ve ever had a technical issue with anything that has hit 1.0.

Proton is magic, hooray!

If you time travel and take out the ENIAC, you likely deprive the US of working nuclear weapons during WW2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIAC

ENIAC was designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army’s Ballistic Research Laboratory (which later became a part of the Army Research Laboratory).[7][8] However, its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon.[9][10]

… choose wisely.

Can you predict what would have happened, then?

…are you sure?

Cleary they value more than the mere material currency of this realm.

Looks like violet turned out to be…

… human, after all.

Companies are actively selecting for fraudsters and liars.

If they are too stupid to realize this, fuck em, they’ll burn themselves down.

Oh… in patient care…

I heard im patient…haha, what a goof!

Can we send him pizza?

Beans, maybe?

What a galatically stupid asshole.

Honestly, we both seem to have similar body builds, and you are in better shape than I am right now… more muscular definition/lower apparent body fat.

Your arms in particular have more muscle than mine… I am rather spindly, hahaha!

I honestly don’t see why you would think your body is ugly, it isn’t.

Sure, its not … tiktok influencer chad/movie star action hero/professional athlete, … but you seem to be a perfectly fit and healthy adult young man.

Don’t let absurd beauty expectations from society/social media get you down, the vast, vast majority of people do not look like the pretty people that algorithms put in front of our faces.

And hell, if you’re American, you are very far from obese, so… you are probably literally above average, bare minimum, probably more like top 25% at least, if you want to use BMI as an approximate proxy for overall health.

I am publically posting here to say that he did in fact send me this, and thus is an honorable man of his word.

Agreed. A sub that… basically doesn’t communicate, at all?

Honestly, infuriating, genuinely not enjoyable, at least to me personally.

There may be a few people who want to fuck an actual ‘not a person’ slave… not me.

But also… you can actually punish that.

Denial.

If you … require… communication… do not reward the lack of it.

If you just let them get away with their poor behavior… well you’re not topping/domming very well, now are you?

At that point you’re basically a service top, who is also expected to read minds.

There are different … preferences and styles here, people define these terms somewhat differently… not trying to broadly knock any of them, but… yeah you’re not really in control, if you’re the one doing all the physical and mental work, now are you? That’s at least how I see it.

Actually require them to answer questions with more complex answers than ‘yes/no’, otherwise, literally sit there and twiddle your thumbs.
