  • A self-aware nice guy!

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. The negative self talk really doesn’t help. You know this already, but probably don’t know how to stop it.

    Some framing that might help: you are human. You’re allowed to make mistakes. Just because you’re not perfect doesn’t mean you are worthless. Your flaws are much smaller than you make them out to be, and flaws themselves are just areas you can improve in if you put your mind to it. You have a good mind, so use it to build yourself up and be the best version of yourself. No one else is watching you, really, apart from the guy looking back at you in the mirror.

    Sincerely, a recovered NiceGuy™













  • I cut weight all last year. Went from 203 lb to 181 lbs at my leanest, while training hard. I was obsessive about it. After 9 month I started stalling hard. I hung on for 2 more months and then quit because it was almost Christmas.

    I tried to start the cut again but it was too mentally grueling for me. I crept back up to 195 and now I’m just maintaining until I don’t have a visceral reaction to the idea of a cut again.

    I definitely gained some muscle during the process, and don’t look as soft when I started but still a bit discouraging.

    Also it’s nuts how your body can hold 2-5 lbs of carb reserves

    As I’ve said before: if it’s a good meme, I’m posting it. That’s the extent of it. I’m not playing AI sleuth just to make a handful of people happy.

    I generally dislike AI and AI images but it’s getting harder to tell. I don’t have the time or the desire to look deeper into memes I find.

    Comments about AI slop, while valid, are really unoriginal. I invite you to recreate the meme for me of it bothers you that much. Be the change or something… I’ll happily post it with an non-ai image if you leave it in the comments. Otherwise, i’d appreciate it if you refrained from complaining about it due to the repetitive nature of the comments.





  • I hadn’t played video games since 2012. My boy got a PS5 for Christmas, and well, we all know how that was going to turn out.

    I’ve been playing it more than he has, after he’s gone to bed, and catching up on a lot of titles I missed.

    Anyway, I got into Minecraft. I didn’t get the appeal until I started playing and now I’m hooked.

    I’ve got a strong drive to explore, in general, and that itch used to be scratched by fieldwork. Now, I do desk work and I’m too busy with kids to actually get out in nature like I used to.

    Minecraft kind of scratches that itch. I get to spelunk, see new stuff, and there’s a non zero chance of getting my ass blown up by creepers. Fun!
