Battletech lore is the most nonsense sci fi I have sver heard

Like Warhammer lore is digestible because it's very self aware that it's ridiculous.

Battletech unfortunately is really self serious. The different houses of the Inner Sphere are basically a rough sketch of what a redditor thinks America, Europe, Russia, and China are and Japan.

Then you have the clans who are basically exiled nazis with a handful of quirky social progressive quirks.

This. Is a shame because Battletech and MechWarrior are really cool.

But the understanding of states of any stripe is basically what a redditor thinks if they were also from the 80s.

I think I would appreciate sci fi that werent blisteringly inaccurate and vulgar appropriations of real modern day states. God damn.

Update on the whole lazy workout thing. one month in

To recap: Im a sanitation worker.

I work full time 40 hrs. A week.

I bike home for 3 miles from work every day.

Then I go into the gym and do ONE compound lift. 5 sets 4 reps. As heavy as I can manage or as much as the machines will give.

So a single night may look like:

3 mile bike ride then bench press.

Or 3 mile bike ride then pull ups or some lat pull down

Or 3 mile bike ride and ab wheel

Here is what I have to show for 1 month of this. Keep on mind, im not eating cleaner. Im just eating whatever.

Ive lost 3/4 of an inch off my waist. My chest is getting more toned. My core is looking tighter and even my intercostal muscles around my ribs are getting more pronounced.

I have lost it least 6 pounds and my biceps are looking a bit bigger and a bit more vascular.

One thing that has happened is that I leave the gym WANTING to do more. But I dont do that. I dont want to cause myself to potentially burn out. So that's a nice psychological trick that Ive encountered. Not doing more makes me want to do more the next day which keeps me going on the daily.

I would recommend doing this if you're dealing with depression and are slightly out of shape or skinny fat or could stand to slowly burn off 10 to 20 pounds.

If you're more experienced, them this likely aint gonna do shit for you or you are already doing WAY MORE than what Im doing now.

I dont want to spam the forum with this on the weekly. But now im starting month 2 and Ill check in with you guys at the end of December.

...I hate the west

Their obsession with free speech and how people thinks society went too far to ban Kanye from twitter after his PRO. NAZI. Media tour makes me SERIOUSLY resent western values.

Liberalism is white supremacy.

...If you are even SLIGHTLY marginalized... Get a means of self defense that puts bigots in the ground.

westerners arent going to stop until there's a ubi for conservative voices and leftist voices are put on notice for being devisive.

Death to this whole fascistic psycho world.

Also. I know what all this bullshit is about. It is all mass hysteria about trans people. It's transphobia top to bottom and side to side.

Here's some free speech for the west. The anticolonial and anti imperialist left trapped in the west who have a platform to be heard by many are transphobic by always lumping social progressivism into the democratic party platform AND... those same leftists low key hope that more stochastic terrorism kills more trans people. I said it and Im not wrong. How is that for free speech?

Any of you had much experience greasing the groove?

Thr idea of GTG is about not working your muscles to failure, but to practice your exercises consistently.

This might mean instead of doing 100 straight puships, you might do something like 10 or 15 reps, take a rest and do that again until you reach 100 but never really getting to a failure state.

My experience feels anecdotal, but doing so... I went from doing 4 pull ups per set with extreme effort in 2 weeks to something approaching 7 to 8 reps with extreme effort.

🤔 Ive done shit like this all the time, especially the one punch man challenge and it might take me all day to get it done or just an afternoon, but it was never killing me and I managed to trim up nicely during the summer.

Anyone else tried it?
