I lost my ability to walk properly when I was barely a teenager. To my hypermobility, which was finally diagnosed in my thirties. I didn't really have a youth. Well, except in front of a computer I guess. Even then, barely. So I tried way too hard to fit in, and had some experiences I'd rather not. Not one single good memory though. Just pain and horror and cruelty. And being sick. A whole lot of being sick. So, y'know, you can appreciate the memories. Or you can know it could have been so much worse. Or just get headphones.

That's all your life only when you seriously lack imagination. Most of getting there is clearing your mind of fake ideas like "respectable career" or "getting in trouble".

The past few pages demonstrate the point of my meta-gimmick better than I ever could. I'm an emotional mess who can't stop being annoying, getting wildly caught up in doubling down on points everyone else finds irrelevant, being wrong a lot and loudly, being boring as hell more often than not, and melting down constantly. It took me a lot of work and self-reflection to be this way. Because I used to just suppress the misery and concentrate on working, waiting for a better day when I could do what I wanted to do. Except I'm now too disabled to work, and that better day is never coming. It's not that I can't shut up and be stoic. It's that it was turning my life into endless monotony filled with interchangeable days of vague misery where I couldn't allow myself to feel anything.

Jonny 290 posted:i dont suppose there's any cogent answer to the question of what you want out of this subforum or 'gimmick', eh It is indeed a meta-gimmick - I act this way because it reflects a deeper truth, and I view it as a stepping stone between where I am and where I want to be. I want to be who I am because that's who I want to be, not because I think it will win the approval of others. And that requires practice. So yes, not a gimmick at all. Out of this subforum? Maybe I'll find people going through the same thing, ones who appreciate my company.

For the stomach, look up TVA exercises, as well as planking. Yes, that's unironically what planking is good for.

akadajet posted:I've been told all my life you can't spot reduce stomach fat. You just have to lower your body fat until it starts coming off your belly. You can't. But you can improve muscle tone and that makes your stomach look flatter. Then you can throw in dumbbell flys, lateral raises, squats, side leg lifts to make your stomach look flatter by comparison, and round it out with downward facing dog and bridge pose to have enough endurance to keep the pose.

Now, most of the muscle benefit comes from the muscle helping to regulate your hormones and metabolism, which also has effects on your mood and appetite. (And when I got to rebuilding my muscle, the effect it had on making me eat healthier was dramatic. Way less sugar, way more plant-based protein. Of course I was expecting it to have an effect, and was prepared with suitable diet knowledge.) But it does burn calories, and you can lose weight faster by doing both cardio and lifting, because that effect from larger muscles is small but meaningful, and more importantly is still there when you aren't lifting at the moment. Got to remember the numbers from exercise look small, but the human body isn't a furnace burning (or absorbing) all calories equally, and it's a lot more about changing the balance, and it takes way less to do that than people think.

mystes posted:It's true that you increase your BMR a tiny bit from additional muscle. It's also true that that's not a significant reason for lifting weights because you would burn much more from cardio and you even burn much more (even though it's not as much as cardio) from the actual weightlifting. Is what you're saying here "I don't know much, and neither does anyone else, and that's why I can make authoritative statements about how lifting doesn't really help burn calories"?

Youth these days, when I was their age I couldn't stop hallucinating and was told that my brain disease would slowly progress until it killed me. They don't know what it means to have no hope. (I'm still hallucinating, I've just grown used to it. It happens in predictable patterns and you learn to separate 'em.)

Dada was built on the very idea there's no hope nor sense, and look at us, a century later and things are still getting shittier, yet we persist. You're hoping for the wrong thing, is all. You should hope to see stupid bullshit beyond your comprehension. Like crypto.

I think my point is "it's all been doomed from the moment we figured out violence, but there's still things in life worth enjoying". Just, super angsty because I could pretend like that's not who I am and nobody would buy it.
