Actually the one who was clearly out to impress daddy did the best, 2 years later he proved his business model could work and got bought out. Probably because he mentally tied his entire self worth to the project and just refused to be told it wouldnt work.

No thats "Are you mad at me now daddy!?!"

Agreed, I think the diehards have gotten much louder and the people who saw him as a catalyst for change have gotten a whole lot quieter.

I admit that I very much didnt think it was a good thing when he got elected but I did think "Maybe he will piss off a few people who need pissing off, upset some apple carts and generally upset the status quo and MAYBE be a catalyst for change some of which for the good." Yeah... it wasnt.

Deficits are a funny thing.

How are you doing it? How long for? How big a deficit?

Previously its been hard, but I did a lot of research about macros, meals, using fat content to slow digestion etc... Once I got my diet dialed it was easy, because I figured out a few meals that were FUCKING HUGE and still low enough in calories that I got to be "full" at least once a day and hit all my nutrients.

That being said I'm on the last 2 weeks of a 750 cal deficit for 12 weeks and yeah, its starting to get real. Ive had a couple of days this week where Ive said "Fuck it" and had a second protein bar after dinner taking my deficit to only 500. After this I'll be transitioning back to maintenance cals for 8 weeks although I have promised myself a "Mega blowout" meal of a whole costco pizza and I can eat until I dont want any more pizza in 1 sitting.

Its not so much that you feel "hungry" but you learn to love the feeling of not existing on a sugar and fat cocktail 24 hours a day. I think I'm actually going to have trouble readjusting to an extra 750 cals a day, let alone going onto bulking cals at some point.

I mean, I know 3 people who launched "Startups" and 2 of them had serious "ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW DADDY!?!" energy.

NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.

Thats 3 promises broken at once.

Yeah thats kind of the whole point of social media. You post, people comment.

Look, I'm getting confused here.

Who do I cheer for in this one? The "Death to the west" people or the "Come on guys, its one little genocide" guys...

I was a bouncer for 10 years. This is pretty much correct but its also about intensity, if someone starts off with anything lower than 11 out off 10 thats the opening.

Street fights arent boxing matches, theres no rules. You swing at me in public I assume you are intending to kill me and act accordingly until you back off or cant hurt me anymore.

Ive found its made doing end-runs around enshitification easier.

For example Trying to find a front suspension top for a peugeot 206 gti with google means being recommended everything front suspension for the peugeot 207, 208, Vw Gti, Swift Gti... not to mention the websites "Best price on insert what you searched for here" only they sell nothing.

So I ask chat gpt for the part number and search that.

Just remember Russia.
