As someone who never expected to become a gym rat I second this.

I started lifting as a purely whimsical decision with a mate and some dumbbells in his backyard.

I’ve now been a powerlifter for 6 years (minus a year due to work related injury) and it’s truly my happy place, am I sad? (Stronger) Am I angry? (Stronger) Am I happy? (You guessed it, stronger).

Not only does lifting grow your body, but also your mind. I may have permanent function loss, but I work around it, and I’m building back (slowly) and stronger than before.

Hardest part is getting started, followed by keeping with it.

My DMs are also open to those who are unsure where/how to start.

Probably how they’ll force upgrade down the track, upgrade or we brick your shit.

Not the same by the sound of it, my hearing is exceptional for my age and career path.

Sorry to hear your hearing has deteriorated to such a degree, I hope you’re able to tune it out/sleep through it.

I’ve been listening well above recommend levels for years, I’ve done work operating industrial machinery and my hearing tested among the best for my age. Just use hearing protection, and don’t go nuts on the volume.

It’s the only ring I’ve seen in years I would actually wear.

Everyone keeps forgetting that we’re all just what monkeys evolved into…

Most people can’t be trusted operating a ground-dwelling vehicle, I’m fine with not having flying ones yet.

Thankfully I am, but I was born and raised on the coast, so I know the pain of a 44°C day at close to 100% humidity.

Yankees are easy to deal with, I certainly don’t want to be the reason her highness turns in her grave.

My PC kept my room warm all winter, I now dread the incoming sun. Thank God for AC. Sorry for your loss there sir.

Metric system is best system, no exceptions.

Anything over 40°C is fuckin’ hot, anything under 4°C is fuckin’ cold.

The extra A is for abomination.

Poorly, I left for a reason.

Yeah, I member.

Spot on sir.

I highly doubt it is, but is it still going? I miss that so much.

Brazilian snowpowder, works on people, works on sharks. Wonder what else it’ll work on.

Yeah baby, yeah you piece of shit.

A test I constantly fail, thanks, noisy roommates.
