WAR ROOM LOUNGE V22: Cult 45

[AgonyandIrony]

Headed out for day 3 of the Voodoo Fest. Last night was insane. Marilyn Manson was absolutely wild and Travis Scott was amazing.

So stoked to see Modest Mouse tonight.

Still one of my favorite videos on the internet. Make sure you turn on the sound.

Damn, I really am starting to get a little bit fat. In my teens, I did track and field, football, and ping pong at the same time with associated training hours. While in university, I did some jiu jitsu, running, and went to the gym 2-3 times a week.

Now in my mid-30s, I simply don't have the time, but at the same time, stress is increasing my calorie intake (e.g. at work).

Really need to find a regime that's gonna work for me. I am close to 180 pounds at 5 foot 9, which would be ok if it was muscle mass, but it is not (any more).

Lol every time Germans talk about exercising it sounds so structured and regimented to me. Played in a few hockey tournaments there, and while the NPC meme can be misused with politics, it always will remind me of German athletes.

But, yeah. Its harder as you get older. I find the gym super boring; just keep thinking why the hell am I paying money to do physical labour, may as well get a construction or mill job on weekends.

I need it to be a sport to stick with it

Does anybody actually like candy corn.? I don't think I've ever met anyone who likes it, but I always see it around Halloween time.

No.
It's the worst.

Have you tried swimming ? Its a great way to burn a ton of calories and work your whole body without banging on your joints and its also a really good way to disconnect from the world for an hour or more and just kinda decompress kinda like meditation

Its doing wonders for me and if I would eat right I would probably really be losing weight right now.

i try to spend at least an hour a day in the pool but if I can find the time I prefer 2 .

Old naked people just wandering around the locker room and shaving and toenail cutting and all kinds of shit kinda weirds me out. I feel like if you strut around the locker room butt ass naked from location to location for like 15 minutes you are more than likely some kind of pervert and I am hip to the fact that you are trying to show me your dick .

And yet, you can't stop yourself from looking at my dick.

I can't help but think ping pong did not need to be included

Constant leg re-positioning in ping-pong.

Yeesh.

Sometimes you catch hints of it in the undergrad's work and it's a physical cringe. They don't even realize what they are doing is plagiarism sometimes.

That was one of my greatest fears as an undergrad, that I accidentally plagiarized something somehow like citing it in my work but not properly crediting it by accident.

I love it, or at least I did when I was a kid. Haven;t had any in some time now that I think about it.

A common misconception

A common misconception

No joke, trying to keep up with Korean kids in ping pong kicked the hell out of me. I felt like I had just played a few sets of tennis.

In chess do you prefer to be black or white?

I like white because I play offensively. I like to get my knights out quick, and my rooks in positions to defend them.

black can be good too because of less pressure of having to move first and being defensive.

Too advanced, I have no opinions of this

You're right. I went in for 3'rd base when we're still stuck on 1'st.

Gotta hand it to the guy, he's dedicated. Most people would get bored after a straight year of fixation.

@Rod1 I couldn't find the recent Bolsonaro thread. What are your thoughts?
