Nope, this goes even deeper than that. This is the master of all goals.
Fuck piss shit fucking fuck I am so bored. Thank god the Blue Jays are doing pretty good or I would need to put a bullet in my head just to have something to do,
Hopefully this is the right thread for bitching
Every time I see something bad happen to somebody with an unconventionally spelled name, I think that maybe if their name didn't suck they could have avoided the problem
Does this make me a bad person?
If a girl walks into a blood bank and chickens out at the last minute, is it okay to punch her in the face until she bleeds into a cup? /spoonitnow

I read something somewhere about your name having a correlation with your career.
I know lots of gay Andys and Steves.
Here's something you need to know about me: I hate shopping for clothes. Every two years I go to the same place and buy the same pair of cargo pants. Only that this year they no longer carry them. They tell me they stopped selling cargo pants in 2012. So I go to 5 other stores but none of them have cargo pants. What is worse that they don't even have regular pants either. It's all 'slim fit'. This is man's clothing mind you. What kind of a man wears slim fit pants? No man!
Now I have to go online if I want a pair of legwear that can accommodate testicles? Fuck you, future. Fuck you right in your dumb face.

It certainly appears that way. I think I'd go one step further and say that name choices reflect, on some level, how much the parents value integration. Wacky names appear to go along with non-integrated subcultures, and I think supporting those creates a problem on a more fundamental level
An example I would use is Asian Americans vs African Americans. The amount of racism against both have been about equal over American history, but the former have integrated far better than the latter, and the results of this show
Naming your daughter Lafawnduh instead of Larissa will only cause problems for her. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but it is

A nine-year-old girl whose parents named her Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii was put into court guardianship in New Zealand so that her name could be changed.
A family court judge, Rob Murfitt, gave the order after hearing that the child was embarrassed about her name and had refused to reveal it to friends. "She told people her name was K because she feared being mocked and teased," the child's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court.
The judge criticised parents who give their offspring bizarre names, saying it exposed children to ridicule among their peers.
From the BBC article about Talua does the hula
UNUSUAL NAMES
Allowed: Violence; Number 16 Bus Shelter; Midnight Chardonnay; Benson and Hedges (twins) (UK cigarette brand)
Blocked: Yeah Detroit; Stallion; Twisty Poi; Keenan Got Lucy; Sex Fruit; Fat Boy; Cinderella Beauty Blossom; Fish and Chips (twins)
Right, I don't think many people would dispute that, but the real rub lies in what should be done about it. The easy answer is to just name your kids Bob, but I think there's a bit of room to grumble about a world where all of your decisions in life surround your marketability in the workplace, from using the F-word on social media to your haircut to your name.
I hate to be so predictable as to make this an issue over conformity, but it so clearly already was a discussion about conformity that I had precious little choice in the matter.
(I'm not necessarily defending people who purposefully give their children absurd or novelty names, btw, so no strawmanning me por favor.)
There are all sorts of creative names. They usually involve references from history, geography, literature, or function. Most references are stupid (don't name your kid Oedipus or Zambia or Bath). But then there are some awesome ones. My three personal favorites are Seneca, Milan, and Aria. Seneca is an example of a super rare name, but it has historical and literary backing, and it could even be acceptable for a girl even though it's a boy name, just like how today Logan and Taylor are boy names that are acceptable for girls
I think the majority problem of whacky names is they're just misspellings and show the parents are crappy on education and poor on judgement. Unusual names work all the time. Trendsetting is possible, but it's by way of something like Dakota (an unused geographical reference), not Anfernee (a misspelling/gimmick of Anthony)
So to be clear, we're not talking about names like Jaquan and Demarcus?
How about names like Rainn?
What do you mean by "talking about"? Pretty sure those qualify as names of misplaced attempts at creativity.
Jake, Jack, Jacob: no problem here. Jacquan: probably good at basketball
Damian, Mark, Marcus: no problem here. DeMarcus: probably good at basketball
Rain: a little sketchy, but could be okay I guess. Rainn: probably good at wrasslin in tube tops
I know a girl named Talula. She's a beautiful Australian girl with the most gorgeous mane of fiery red hair you could possibly fathom. I think her name is fucking awesome. What on earth is so embarrassing about the name Talula?
OH
Talula Does the Hula
Oh
oh.
Wow. Yeah. That's not okay.

Really interesting read on the culture of the Middle East that contributes to the sectarian conflict still going on today. A society where knowledge really is power and hoarded at the top.
So I just realised I hit 255 pounds. This time last year I was around 310 pounds. Btw, I’m on the taller side of 6’4”.
I want to still go down to like 210 pounds, then bulk up to like 230 pounds and let that be my final weight for this body transformation. I want to have a wide receiver type physique.
What I don’t know is if whether it’s a better idea if I simply start to weight train and bulk up at the same time while cardioing, so that I could hit the 230 weight goal while having relatively decent amount of muscle mass without having to go too far south of that. Would be better for the skin I assume.
Nah, fuck it. I think going down to 210 and then back up to 230 would be the better option. I put my deadline around this same time next year. Before and after pics are coming as soon as my 6-pack shows up, that is if it ever does.
I find it interesting how it is the exact opposite in what we call modern society or perhaps even in what people inherently like to do - share. On the internet you can find detailled information and guides about just about anything you can think of you'd ever want to do. Galfond reveals his poker strategies in surprising detail for a little fee as do many other people. Can you imagine how backward our society would be if our culture was the opposite, to hoard it and never share but rather use it as status to be the only one to know? Right..
Putting on 20 lbs as an adult, naturally while eating to lose weight will not happen. Weight training while losing weight will aid in the weight loss, change the way you look when you lose weight and also allow you to preserve a lot of the muscle you can lose when dieting. Although I could also try to explain that at 310 you had far more muscle than your body would carry at 210 and some muscle loss is almost always going to happen. If you want to add muscle then start now. Weight training over "cardioing" will give you faster weight loss results and a better body naked.
great, now I'm thinking about a naked 310lb guy.
*puts on wizard hat & robe*
I would just do the gym work and the calorie work and let results be what they will
If I had to guess at Jack's body type, it's the kind that will easily put on more muscle as long as exercise load is high and calories aren't overly restricted. Up to a point, obviously.
A 310 pound person certainly does have more muscle than he thinks, but if training improvements can always be made for anybody who isn't at true peak. Strength and hypertrophy training is sorta unnatural in and of itself, and I think the real human peak is bigger than what normal baddasses get by living in the wild
Homosexuals strongly represented here at FTR
I'm sure they are, but you are probably referring to the guys that are willing to talk about other guys bodies and have a sense of their own appearance and how they feel about it. That may be a little more offensive to the actual homosexuals here, and really doesn't do much to offend me.
But thanks for bringing the randomness back.
Goddamn nerd convention

I'm going to go ahead and say this - Aubrey you're fucking awesome. I need to visit because it would be amazing to bask in your glory. But fuck driving in NY.

Getting to Astoria isn't that bad at all. You skip Manhattan altogether and just ride freeways through Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens. You'll almost definitely hit some pocket of traffic somewhere and you almost definitely will get cut off by someone who decided to neither indicate NOR check his blind spot because, you know, fuck other people, but you wouldn't have to suffer the quintessential NYC driving experience. By the time you get off the freeway, you're in a part of town that isn't bad to drive in at all.
You can also Park n Ride into the city.

chelleeeee stop making me blush and come! surviva is right, it's not so bad. :D driving in queens isn't exactly smooth sailing, but it's not the congested NYC nightmare you're probably imagining.
i'm most likely visiting santa fe and los angeles in july. it'll be a necessary city break, santa fe especially. never been, but santa fe sounds so beautiful..
more ear candy for you bikes (i know chelle approves of this)

Well, met 2 fellows in Hells Angels last night as a music event that was like a pre-party to the weekend long event called 'Heavy Rebel Weekender', they were actually really polite, even though ones name was 'Ripper', and I was like, 'Ripper? Well, that's an interesting name!'. Also hung out with people that I have no idea what their name is, but, I went alone, and had a great time. I also didn't die, and no one annoyed the shit out of me. Plus, great music. Yay for doing social things!
I have 3 close cousins and my uncle runs the club up here in Oakville Ontario

Is that photoshopped? You look so.. shiny. Very nice picture.
My friends wife kept trying to kiss me on Saturday night while my gf was in the next room. That was weird.
They probably have some issues. Best for all involved to just pretend it never happened. She was a bit tipsy perhaps but otherwise you didn't notice anything, that would be my stance.
TThat's what I've done. I've toyed with the idea of telling him. I'd want to know if I was him. When she first tried it we were sitting on sofa and were temporarily alone in the living room. I said something like "are you out of your fucking mind, I have a gf who's in thé next room, and you're married with kids, what the fuck are you diung?". She responded with "i know but that's what makes it fun". She then proceeded to try and get alone with me and tried to kiss me twice more. Seems more than just a little drunken mistake. She then tried it on with the guy who's house we were in.
If I was better friends with the guy I'd say something.
Sounds like she isn't sexually and/or romantically fulfilled in her relationship -- which is a shitty position to be in for sure -- but my sympathy wanes when she tries to kiss you multiple times in the same house as both your significant others.
I think ultimately JV has it right: they're probably having issues, and it's best if they heal naturally. If this is rooted in something that could break them up (and it sounds like it does, that's pretty bad), odds are it'll happen with or without your interference.
How well does your girlfriend know her? If she's not the type to get super angry or possessive about someone else making a move on you, maybe you could talk about it with her, since she knows the dynamic of the situation better.
I'd tell the dude. Maybe that sounds terrible - but, he deserves to know that his wife is trying to fuck with other dudes.
When you're committed to someone, that's it imho. If you wanna fuck other people, don't get in a relationship where it's already decided that it's monogamous. Being sexually unsatisfied is something she needs to take up with her husband, not other dudes.
communication wtf.
tell the guy!
Here's the thing...if you tell the guy, you're bringing yourself into a whole world of shitty ass drama. Make sure you're prepared for the ensuing shitstorm before "doing the right thing" imo.
Maybe that's selfish thinking on my part, but I'm not entirely convinced that in these situations "doing the right thing" is actually optimal for all parties involved. There's a lot of other variables that I'd consider in that spot, and I'm not in that spot so I don't feel great taking either side without a lot more information.
Ah games of incomplete information...
always the spoonrage
We don't know too many specifics about who these friends are, and who's close to whom, but I would go with the permutation of least resistance out of: you/your girlfriend talks to the girl/the husband/the other guys she tried to sleep with (/maybe some licensed professional who's close them). I feel like someone's gotta talk to someone.
Priorities should be (in this order): 1) salvaging the marriage if there's an identifiable problem that the parties are capable of solving; 2) having the husband know what's fair for him to know.
Must suck to be married to a whore.
Also, you should tell the guy.
All the people saying, "snap tell the guy, cuz he deserves to know." are making an awful call. jyms and d0zer are spot on. Telling the guy could be the right move, but it is heavily dependent on details we aren't privvy to, but in aggregate the default in this situation is for sure to keep quiet.
