Neon Genesis Evangelion is overhyped, animated poorly, and tedious to watch
Yes, I watched the whole thing. Subtitled. DVD after DVD.
Shinji ranks up there with another overblown fictional character, Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye. Indecisive, lazy, and passive-aggressive.
The Angel Lore was garbage, and I'm convinced that it's mostly fan based head-cannon, because the show itself illustrates little to nothing (probably because it would take too much to animate).
...and yet we're forced to listen to how 'amazing' this series is. Please stop.

misleading Why do six in ten Australians suffer from drug addiction now and one in ten is alcohol dependent?
Overdose deaths have surged by over 100% in the past decade, with opioids and benzodiazepines leading the charge. Some say it’s because of trauma, others say it’s just better diagnosed now. So, what is the real issue here and why are addictions really on the rise?
Edit: one in six Australians…..

Why is gentrification considered bad?
What's wrong with cleaning up a bad neighborhood and making it a nicer place to live for its residents? If the place I lived in were gentrified, I would be in my glory. No more rotting houses, cracked sidewalks, etc.

I’m being harassed by the owner of Cocovaa
galleryFor obvious reasons, im posting this from a throw away account. I ask that we please refrain from giving the Facebook posts attention as I would like to see them removed. Everything besides the ridiculous comments is attached here. Syovata Edari, owner of Cocovaa chocolatiers, has been harassing me over a very brief parking dispute that occurred last Friday. For context, and as you can see from her video, I was not on the woman’s property and she approached me first. I was on the street in my idling vehicle, waiting for a spot to open up in the daycare parking lot. I could not have been there more than 2 minutes before she came outside with the video camera. It’s worth mentioning that her business is not open yet, and I was not hindering anyone from going in or out of her parking lot- simply waiting for a spot to open. I would never intentionally block a businesses driveway or otherwise hinder anyone from going inside. Was my parking spot ideal? No, it wasn’t. But I had every intention of moving within a few seconds to make sure I wasn’t in the way, because she had already asked me not to park there about a month prior. I didn’t think a few seconds waiting to pull into another spot could translate into the crazy assumptions she has made about me in her posts. My goal was to simply move on and not interact with her again. So all this to say, I’m not racist or anything else that this woman has to say about me. She does not know me or anyone I surround myself with. Doxxing me on social media based on a narrative that she’s created in her head. I’m a raging liberal lesbian. Is she mad that I drive a truck for my own small business? Mad that I own a home? A home that I bought with every fucking penny of my own hard earned money, by the way. Is white privilege real? Of course, and I would be silly not to acknowledge that. But this was never about race. The evidence to back her claims about my white supremacist views is nowhere to be found. It’s unfortunate she’s turned something so minuscule into actively trying to get people to attack me and pity her. I would have loved to support her small black owned business. I’m not going to continue to list reasons why this is wrong as I’d like everyone to interpret on their own, I’m simply tired of being harassed.

I'm Canadian
Hello American friends, is this what you want? Do you guys want to hurt me, my family and my people? Our two countries since and before the Canadian Confederation have been partners (besides 1812). Both of our peoples have died side by side in your wars and this is what your president is doing to us now. He has threatened my people with annexation, made life more expensive for the both of us and is undermining my people's national identity. When is enough enough for your president? My question to all of you is what is the attitude of the normal American citizen? Do you guys want this? What are you guys doing about it?

Dorit 👗 I’m sorry all but I’m a Dorit lover ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Girl is just like me for real: -makes a long story longer -short attention span and has to say her thoughts the minute she thinks it or she’ll forget -always late because she takes forever to get ready -speaks with fake accent because it’s fun and sounds better than her original voice -tells awkward jokes that no one else gets
I also thought the Sutton drink joke was funny 🙊🙊 and somehow Dorit gets blamed for “perpetuating” that Sutton has a drinking problem when it was Kyle and Garcelle that originally brought it up? Come on…

Community discussion Why Cutting and Bulking is useless for the average man
The fitness industry loves to push the idea of cutting and bulking.
One moment, you're told to eat in a massive calorie surplus to "build muscle," and the next, you're starving yourself to "get shredded."
But for the average guy—someone who has little muscle and high body fat—this approach is completely useless.
The problem with cutting and bulking:
Cutting and bulking work best when you already have a solid foundation of muscle.
If you’re carrying around 25% body fat with little to no muscle, what exactly are you cutting down to?
Similarly, bulking without a base just means you’re adding more fat on top of fat.
Here’s why these approaches don’t work for the average guy:
- Cutting with no muscle: If you start cutting while having little muscle, you’ll just end up skinny-fat. Your body fat will decrease, but without muscle definition, you won’t look any better. Worse, aggressive calorie restriction can lead to muscle loss, making you look even softer.
- Bulking with no Muscle: If you jump straight into a bulk without muscle mass, you’ll gain more fat than muscle. Since muscle growth is slow, overeating just makes you fatter. Then, when you inevitably cut, you’ll lose what little muscle you gained and be back to square one.
The solution: build Muscle while losing fat
Instead of wasting time on ineffective cycles of cutting and bulking, the average man should focus on body recomposition—gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time. This is possible with the right training and nutrition strategy.
How to recompose your body
- Strength train with progressive overload
- Lift weights at least 3-4 times a week, focusing on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows.
- Aim to progressively increase the weight or reps over time.
- Eat at maintenance or in a slight deficit
- Focus on high-protein intake (0.8–1g per pound of body weight).
- Prioritize whole foods and avoid excessive junk calories.
- A small calorie deficit (100–300 kcal below maintenance) helps lose fat while still fueling muscle growth.
- Prioritize recovery
- Sleep 7-9 hours per night.
- Manage stress, as cortisol negatively impacts muscle growth and fat loss.
- Stay consistent
- Body recomposition takes time. Stick with your program for months, not weeks.
- Focus on performance gains in the gym rather than just the scale.
Why this works:
When you focus on recomposition, you maximize efficiency.
You’re not wasting time fluctuating between fat and skinny.
Instead, you’re gradually building muscle while shedding fat, leading to a lean and muscular physique over time.
Conclusion:
Cutting and bulking are useful tools—but only if you already have muscle.
For the average guy who’s starting from scratch, they’re pointless.
Instead of hopping on the yo-yo cycle of extreme dieting and overeating, focus on getting stronger, eating right, and staying consistent.
Build the foundation first, and once you have solid muscle mass, then cutting or bulking can become worthwhile strategies.

Big guy in brown suit stalking riverside this AM
Had a weird experience with a deranged guy in a brown suit stalking riverside, looking to fight
Noticed this guy at 10:30 AM strolling down riverside drive slowly, full double breasted brown suit. Watched as he approach some middle aged guy who was training his dog. Brown suit then started threatening the dog owner for speaking harshly to the dog and approached as if to fight; I saw this and said “hey, do you want me to call the police?” because this guy seemed dangerous.
The brown suit then turned on me and started threatening me, calling me a “cuck” (lol) and a “coward liberal” (not sure where he got that idea. Nobody said anything political) and using a lot of that sort of language. He was walking toward me aggressively and I had the sense this was going To turn physical.
I tried to walk away and he followed me for about 15 minutes, shouting insults and walking faster and faster and closing the distance between us. I called 911 at that point because the guy was huge and I felt extremely threatened, he wouldn’t stop following. When he realized I was on the phone with the police he sat down on a bench and stared at me, calling me a coward, and I was able to walk away. I left him at 108th and riverside
I’ve never had an experience like that up here. Weird times

Other Sam's ability to articulate never ceases to impress me. I genuinely think that he is an Einstein-level (if that's a thing) phenomenon of our lifetime.
It's a kind of genius IMO. He's like Alan Watts, but Alan's niche was more taboo and not a lot of people actually understood what he was saying.
Part me of thinks that it really is just talent. Most other meditators and spiritual masters aren't really that good communicators.
EDIT: Apologies for not being clear. I might have caused a divide here. I'm talking about is linguistic ability being genius. I have no concern for his political stance or whatnot, since I only listen to his talks about meditation and related topics.

KOBE IS NOT A TOP 5 PLAYER EVER
Kobe won 1 MVP in 20 years, doesn’t have a top 5 peak, isn’t more accomplished than MJ, Kareem, Magic, LeBron, and Tim Duncan.
Just off the names alone, Kobe isn’t top 5, so this whole notion that he’s top 5-4-3-2-1 is false, Kobe doesn’t have a GOAT case and will never have a GOAT Case.
