    I do not believe in equality

    Regarding the military option: I want to point out to those of you who haven't served, that if you're capable of A) shutting the fuck up, and B) doing 20 pullups, you're practically guaranteed the option to retire, at least in the USMC. I would be surprised if the other branches don't have a...

    I do not believe in equality

    I'm a veteran using the post 9-11 GI Bill and its pretty nice. Everything paid for, and a housing allowance that easily supports a student life. I think only 1 or 2 percent of citizens enlist and of them, about half never touch their GI Bill. I'm assuming a bunch use it for dumb degrees but...

    Problem with every mmorpg

    This is extreme hyperbole. The vast majority of MMO raiding isn't nearly as cutthroat as you describe it. There are plenty of guilds in the MMO raidscene that don't kick people for poor performance. The social issue only arises when people with mismatched goals play together. Either the...

    Yup, don't do that to yourself. Especially gaming laptops tend to stress themselves out more. Without looking at any of the reviews or knowing the hardware cycle, I'd still point you to:Sager 86 Series Laptops

    The last time I was in the market for a gaming laptop, Sager was what I ended up with. That thing survived Afghanistan. Furthermore, at my urging, three different RL friends of mine bought Sagers as well and had nothing but good things to say about it. We all went through xoticpc...

    I'd recommend caution -- men tend to delude themselves into how they look based on how strong they feel they are. I ran into a ton of guys in the military who thought their disgusting gut was just extra abs or some shit. Then they'd blame tons of other shit for why they couldn't run worth a...

    Heroics have never been hard enough to require spec-swapping. Unless you're referring to heroic raiding in which the guild will likely easily be able to afford those consumables.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I agree with that, I think the crucial difference is that some men are weak and their partner compels them into a position they didn't want to be in (sharing his wife). That is wholly negative and not "alpha". My perspective is that a man who truly, genuinely, is not threatened and can find...

    No shit. But if we're talking weight loss for general health here, then do you really think 300lbs is a reasonable place to be? I don't know Brahma's medical stats but being 300lbs definitely has a CHANCE at influencing blood pressure (not to mention joints, posture, etc etc). Regardless of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Odd, I think almost completely the opposite. Sharing one's partner is a no-go for MOST humans because of fear. Jealous, envy, being compared to another male... etc etc. A man who doesn't feel any of those things and can enjoy his wife's pleasure seems like the epitome of "alpha" (to use your...

    Weight Loss Thread

    There are a few different definitions it seems, but it looks like it's just attempting to be a predictor for risk. An individual is considered morbidly obese if he or she is 100 pounds over his/her ideal body weight, has a BMI of 40 or more, or 35 or more and experiencing obesity-related...

    Technically, you are morbidly obese with a BMI of 35+. I don't know how tall you are but you'd have to be 6'6 to be sub 35 bmi with that weight. I'm sure your actual BF% skews lower than the BMI formula predicts, but be careful with that type of thinking unless you know your stats for sure and...

    Rezz, perhaps you didn't read. Khane lost 100lbs in 18 months while taking his bench from 135 to ~335. Benching 335 at 180lbs is a world-class lift. Most men would need more than 18 months to do that and also tons of food, but Khane did it on a caloric deficit. I know you didn't realize you...

    I've decided that debating the virtues of G-sync from an objective viewpoint is futile: some people simply don't give a shit or even notice screen tearing. I absolutely can't stand screen-tearing or low FPS, but I've got friends who literally do not even notice. I'll be watching them play and...

    EVE Online

    I'm pretty sure the exit hole spawns A) when you initiate warp to the opening hole or B) after like ~15 hours. I specifically chose a C3 low static because it was going to be a solo endeavor with the primary goal of learning how to survive in jspace. Most of the time, it's incredibly quiet...

    I finished the "last sleeper" of the site so I could go back and salvage it, which ended up spawning a wave since I somehow lost count. Drunk for sure, but yea you're right, I don't think the Helios was able to tackle me -- he flew straight into a Confessor's WR-boosted guns. I had to clear...

    Drunk duoing C3 sigs last night with my brother. This is a Wolf Rayet WH. I'm in a Confessor and he's in a Brutix. I see combat probes on dscan and tell him to get off grid. He's warping out as an uncloaked Helios lands 30km away from me. Wat. Helios successfully tackles me for all of 2...

    Ehh, as stressful as you want it to be. The vast majority of Eve players don't really do anything that I'd call stressful. There are a surprising number of people who log in just to get paid transporting other player's loot around for a shitty paycheck, or watch Netflix while they mine rocks...

    I'm living in a C3 solo right now; yesterday I finished up some anoms and decided to pop my static U210 and see if I had a decent connection to go haul loot to sell. Opened into Sarenen. Whoops.

    Brahma's strong as fuck. That being said, 90 percent of the people in my gym do half-rep squats and it just looks ridiculous. I remember when I first started out, I was perplexed by my weak-ass friends all saying they squat 3 plates. Now, after seeing what passes for a squat, I understand...

    Cite your sources please. Across a fair sample size, the gap between 300 and 900 would be completely fucking obvious. I've read countless stories of men who test in the lower areas of normal, then get on TRT, and feel fucking incredible at high normal.

    Chronicles of Elyria - new mmo

    I can't believe devs haven't figured out that "hardcore" isn't going to fucking work in 2016... Eve is arguably one of the most "hardcore" MMOs and it caters to a very niche group of players. Within the group of Eve players, the huge huge majority do not do hardcore things.
