    Okay. Dev goes into negative shoveling even more money and retaining the original development team into a product they already released to apologize. New expansion completely revamps the game and ignites hundreds of positive reviews and complete public opinion turnaround.

    Now remind me when modern EA ever gave a game post release care. Most of their catalogue is just games they already released but with less features now so they can add it back in 4 years as a marketing ploy to be new. They aren’t even in the same league.


  • I’m talking about endogenous and exogenous hormones. Peptides, steroids, sarms and the like. But with training, recovery is always the most important factor for muscle growth with synthesis, so unless you have perfect conditions all the time (impossible for a natural) it’s better to optimize around recovery than being in the gym. Starting Strength is great for beginners like OP.

    I’ve been doing a volume Bench Squat 5x5 Dead 1x5/intensity (start by doing heavy weight for sets of 5, when that’s too heavy do sets of 3, then down to 5 sets of 1, 3 sets of 1, a single max, then reset) 2 day split with one light day with band work to improve ligaments and neck work to avoid another herniated disc. I honestly consider this the best for naturals in both recovery and time, but with more exercises added in. I’m restricting to the main lifts for powerlifting competition, but adding accessories to focus more on triceps, or rack pulls, etc would be good. Since starting this a few months ago my squat has gone from a 1x5 315 squat to a 415 max and 325 5x5 as a 6’2 natural powerlifter (I’ve only been lifting seriously for 3 years and powerlifting for a year and a half, my trainer has been training for 15 years and hit a 610 deadlift naturally but now in his 30s with low 300 free test he takes TRT)

    5x5s are great, Practical Programming is a good book to follow Starting Strength, I recommend reading Alex Leonidas’ Naturally Enhanced for a more hypertrophy approach. The Texas Program is good. Most of these are designed around the same concept of a 2 day full body one volume heavy the other intensity.




  • Unless you take drugs, doing two or three full body workouts a week separated by 72 (for 2) or 48 (for 3) hours is far more optimal for protein synthesis operation. PPL and upper lower bro splits only work when you literally don’t have to worry about recovery (perfect T and other hormones).

    But the rest of this is great advice and would recommend Starting Strength before 5x5.


  • Because the jedi aren’t the good guys. I’ve said it for years they’re designed as the righteous side of the same coin of the Sith. Always rambling about balance and such then willingly submitting as the lapdog police force of the bloated and corrupt Republic, only taking action when their masters need a war. It’s thousands of years of moral objectivity gone wrong through the eyes of dogma fanatics who’ve lost their way.

    Even Luke’s revival (fuck off Disney) is bound to fail.




  • I think it’s more that most of these issues would never actually reach the CEO if brought up through standard channels. Some bs middle management explanation of why it’s not possible, even though they never passed it up. CEOs are still people, and if they just randomly receive an actual personal email that wasn’t debated over by a board meeting or considered inconsequential by people they hired to micromanage, they’re likely to just say fuck it why not.




  • This is literally standard affairs for any corporation, especially one now headed by a CEO that is unlikely to be even aware of this supposed environment, being that he wasn’t even there. You don’t just jump to defamation out of the blue without substantial proof you are correct, nor should you make these claims without the proof either, as she’s doing. You freaks just want a witch hunt because GN set up LMG and Linus as a bad guy too perfectly with these claims coinciding.

    Ah yes buzzwords. I’m reading it as someone who barely has the context of their own duties and seems mentally unwell overall. Until there’s legitimate proof and data that can corroborate her story, it’s nothing more than hearsay and anecdotal. The only thing that can be attested to is the employees themselves as a group admitting they felt rushed and overburdened with their workload. Beyond that… gonna need more to go off chief. Simple as.

    Last I checked, the burden of proof is on the accuser in any legal issue, and unless she is willing and has the ability to prove tangible beyond reasonable doubt that her claims are evident, it is again nothing special.

    And no, typing out a 40 paragraph essay as to what she FELT was wrong and FELT slighted by is not proof. There’s a reason they’re called ALLEGATIONS and ALLEGEDLY.

    She sounds mentally ill from minor remarks. Conflating being told she should take time to grieve about her dead brother with being told she should just accept miscommunication because they don’t want to deal with it sounds so insane. Like she’s never been met with empathy in her life and looks for the dagger in the shadow. Then you have her literally admitting to self harm just to take a sick day and have an excuse, which sounds like her issue. If a company tells me off about taking sick days I’m talking to the department of labor, or whatever Canadian equivalent, and will threaten legal counsel for denying my legal working rights.

    Sorry, I’m not gonna buy into this personal confirmation bias POV unless we have more proof and corroboration. All too convenient to come with this along GNs spear tip.



  • It was “shot down” because congress was not allocating the funds he wanted to spend to enact the relief. How dare the court actually uphold the constitution in respect to checks and balances and not let the president use executive power to supersede congressional debates and hearings.

    It’s so disingenuous to fight for something because you find it morally right in idea without understanding every nuance of the path it follows. I’d like young adults relieved of the debt economy we’re building just as much as anyone else, but not at the expense of our institutional sanctity. Bad precedent is a slope.

    E: meanwhile our dipshit congressmen that wouldn’t allow the funds allocated are allowing 40 billion to foreign aid and repeatedly fueling our debt economy. Unironically indict Congress on corruption charges.


  • I would recommend looking more into it. Libertarianism at its actual fundamental, and not the heavily skewed incorrectly labeled types being seen here, is about freedom of the individual from oppression of tyranny and inefficient bureaucracy. The ability to live your life without determined rules set forth by a governing body that has long forgotten the plight of the common man.

    You can even take two seconds to look at Wikipedia for the aggregated definition and see it’s about liberty and personal autonomy. Often you’ll hear, I don’t agree with what you say but I’ll die for your right to say it. Libertarians don’t have to personally accept what you do, but they fundamentally believe the state should not interfere with it.

    This is why rule of law and cosmopolitanism are such fundamental values, as if the state is not allowed encroachments on personal liberty, it’s left to the citizenry to use the free market of ideas in determining what is acceptable or not.

    Ancaps are an entirely different breed and are extremist in their views. Conflating them is like conflating a Tankie with a Social Democrat.
