Loved Train Dreams.


Just watched it with the fiancé a few days ago. I was playing Civ VI the first 15 minutes but the movie hooked me and we both loved it.

The Will of the Many


About 2/3rds of the way through.


Happily brought me back to Epic Fantasy (or whatever genre this is). I love everything about it and already got book 2.


Finishing book three of the Charlie Parker detective book series. I like the characters. It’s pulp.


Started that book that’s a bunch of authors doing The Stand stories in universe? It’s dumb in spirit of the original, King blessed it and fortunately didn’t write for it, fun so far. I think I’m 4 stories in.

I’m still a Polish citizen - I can just apply for a Polish passport.


I think it’s called Citizenship by Blood or something equally cool sounding.


Issue with that is I enjoy America - I’m American!


My friends always teased me that I was the best American they knew.


But worst comes to worst … who knows?

a malicious actor probably wouldn't try to confirm the situation with the wife




That’s the malice.


There’s no confirmation - there’s a false question of safety.

No, because Kirk as you describe him is lot real - it’s a media lie.


Who you’re replying to is … I mean, almost verbatim what the video shows.


So one is real and one is fictional.


I think that should have meaning.

Additionally I don't know how many of us here actually regularly interact with American black people




I didn’t date my first white woman until I was 35 years old - I’m now probably the most racist person I know.


I lived the ‘ we are all the same … some smarter some more athletic some nicer etc but fundamentally all the same ‘ for a while. Jon Stewart told me so.


But it just isn’t true. I feel bad for the portion of that population that is just like everyone else - just normal people with normal thoughts some smart some athletic some good cooks some bad friends whatever … but no where near the seething hatred I have for what America could be if the issues black Americans bring were sorted out.


I sometimes wonder if it’d have been better for everyone had my family and I just stayed in Poland. At least I’d have several weeks vacation every year and I could walk down every street I see. Have a national spirit and pride.

I’m going to reply to you from the perspective of someone who managed various General Nutrition Centers for 19 years, saw 30 customers a day, spoke with 20 of them, and had real conversations about health and lifestyle with 10-12 of them.


So roughly 49k conversations about all kinds of various health and lifestyle stuff. From gym bros to elite athletes to grammas to kids.


It doesn’t matter.


Keto diet? People will swear they’re on the keto diet but then break down their diet and … I dunno they’re just eating slightly less carbs?


Mediterranean diet? Maybe they eat fish twice a week.


Oh I eat healthy? Yea then why did you describe for me the last three days of what you ate and it included one veggie and no fruit?


Oh you exercise daily? Oh you eat enough protein? Oh you’re on a low salt low fat low cholesterol low whatever chuckle fuck thing you think? K


People’s interest in nutrition are very peculiar and the way they go about adapting the various good, healthy things they are supposed to be doing is vaguely wrong on every level.


That’s ok - none of us are perfect, usually not really that good, and frankly trying to claw our way off the side of the road covered in shit.


(all metaphors and judgements are solely based on nutrition, health, and exercise … but probably apply to everything)


I hope one day we have perfection when it comes to health understanding, so that everyone can individually strive for whatever they want, and we can all live healthier and happier lives.


I read Outlive and generally enjoyed a large number of media health things throughout the years.


My Big Beautiful Recommendations for Live Long and Prosperly are as follows:


Sleep 7-9 hours.
Don’t eat breakfast.
Eat 5 veggies & 5 fruits every day.
75% of your bodyweight in protein.
Stretch for 2 hours a week.
Lift weight for 2 hours a week.
(More than walking) Cardio 2 hours a week.
Eat fatty fish 5x a week.
Maintain a healthy BMI (you are not an outlier).


That’s it.


If I were the President I would put this in every single school. I would tell people who read Outlive to shut the fuck up (just so we’re clear, this includes myself!) Nutrition is for the nerds - the ITFYM dorks - the specialty athlete - gym bros - whatever.


I want those people to take us into immortality, or as close to being old and healthy as can be possible until we lose the weakness of our flesh and turn to the beauty of metal.


I’m a bit burnt out on health, nutrition, and wellness. There’s no such thing. There’s just doing the best you can.


I would say 2% of us fall into my recommendations - honestly I think it’s closer to zero … out of the 49k people I spoke to it was definitely close to 0. Does that make my recommendation stupid? I don’t think so - just means we have to do better.

I’ve been reading SSC for - a decade now?


This is the cultural thread … not every rat should be a progressive cog.


I want UBI and free healthcare / university and basically agree with the poster on this matter.

The question isn’t what’s wrong with carrying a gun in Minnesota - you’re muddying the water attempting to ask it.




especially when the victim appears to have gotten into a violent confrontation with ICE, resisting arrest, while carrying a gun, that's Darwin Award territory.




It’s putting it all together that’s insane.

I second this almost completely.


As soon as I heard the whistling that was going on - I mean, what are we doing?


I want ICE to deport illegals … if you want to protest that than ok but you can’t stop this - it’s what I voted for!


Unfortunately they aren’t going after the business owners so it’s mostly optics but good damn at least they’re doing something about an issue.


Let’s see if I can walk the streets at night in the cities within my lifetime like you can in Poland.

Damage control it looks like.


The context of the Goode shooting after the fact made it reasonable - I’m gonna hold my tongue for a few days.


For some reason my favorite Libertarian podcast The Reason Roundtable still talk about the Goode shooting as if it wasn’t at all reasonable - so I’m not sure anything will have any meaning with this shooting either.


But it LOOKS egregious.

I was thinking about exactly your comment an hour ago for some reason.


Totally agree.


I just hate marketing more the older I get I think.


I get my ‘protein’ from meat and eggs and dairy and sometimes a (gay) powder - and frankly that’s how 98% of successful gym people do it too.

I absolutely love a Negroni. It’s not for the faint of heart - it’s for bitter people that love bitter things … I mean I’m happy as fuck and I still love it.


Two parts juniper forward gin one part Campari one part sweet vermouth shaken or stirred with ice I don’t know the difference with an orange peel twist.


I’ll have two.


I’m out on old fashioned’s. Terrible drink.


Paloma - 2oz tequila grapefruit soda (soda!!)(6oz) lime


Love that too.

Yea you’re doing great man - just keep going and stop thinking imo.


Thinking just spoils things … you won, enjoy!


Unless! - early retirement? Then the equation starts churning. If you can retire at 50 instead of 60 by going on one less big trip a year and 1-2 less getaways here and there and 2-3 less big dinners (or whatever your equivalent is here) then so long as you’re still doing these things to a lesser degree you go ahead and focus more on the then.


But that doesn’t sound like your goal.


And I’d say enjoy the present - at 85 you’ll enjoy staying home more.

The Will of the Many.


Fantastic! Got it for Christmas, started it four days ago and about 140 pages in.


Love the setting and idea (LOVE) - main character is cool - it’s just fun so far.


Empire makes everything better but kills and destroys to do so. The empire takes peoples ‘ will ‘ and ages them faster and makes them lethargic while they themselves get stronger and stay healthier. Very Roman-esque vibe.


Fantasy is back (for me) baby !

30 minutes of stretching 4-5x a week.


Gotta do it !


One big compound lift a day (squat bench dead) and build your sexy muscles with ISOs.


Or only do compound and call it a day.


Or only do ISO.


It’ll all work - hit your protein goal and gain 3-4lbs a month and fly away.

No not at all.


With my 401k + SS (which will be there) I should make do with about 70k a year from 65-85 - fiancé will be somewhere in the 55-60k range with a Roth. Plus a few other index funds here and there, maybe, with hopefully al almost paid off home … and maybe some slight inheritance from somewhere but I have my doubts.


I wish I were this excited ten years ago - if not 20 lol.


Everything has been and always will be bad - and the horizon is always bad and always will be. But that’s just the way it is - people keep living.


But also - we go on 1 larger and 1 smaller vacation a year and 2-3 small weekend things and there’s two teenage boys in the house and I make 65 and she makes 50 and we pay 2800 a month for rent because America is a joke.


I think the future is bright - just gotta stay healthy.

Completely agree.


I was born in Poland and came over to the US as a political refugee in like ‘89 as a weeee lad.


It seems to me that Poland and other various Eastern states will be the staging ground of once again saving Europe from the horde.


Not excited - no kumbaya - just a blood massacre … again.

My buddy tried this and ended up publishing his own work. Both sci fi. He went at it from every angle possible - thinks it’s impossible for a white straight guy to be published but you know, he is jaded from the experience.

No reason I’m working 45 hour days at a big box retail environment - an honestly great and thriving business. But the inertia for the management team, much less the associates, working 30 hours four days a week is absolute.

So: 1000$ ‘experience’ Christmas gift for my fiancé .., and possibly myself - as in, it can be like a couples gift thing.


I’ve always been known as a great gift giver but this year there’s just something that’s blocking my mind from activating.


We’re in south Florida and I was thinking something like: couples massage thing, snorkeling weekend at the keys, some sort of little two day getaway somewhere, and that’s pretty much it.


Gimmi some ideas - just something I haven’t thought of or put of left field!
