I remember hearing this through the grapevine an eternity ago, and it honestly makes sense. The Shadowrun multiplayer game just always felt like it was missing something.

Spent a few seconds researching this,

The reaction is in reference to Jay Electronica’s former relationship with Kate Rothschild.

Electronica has also compared himself to Adolf Hitler in the past which did not sit well with followers.

The recent Jay Electronica controversy comes after he claimed in March that he met the shadow group Illuminati and was not impressed. He said in several tweets that the Dominicans secretly controlled the entertainment industry, the Visgoths run the p*dophile ring in Hollywood and the Albinos control the “military industrial complex.” The Roc Nation rapper also claimed that the music industry was secretly run by the Jehovah’s Witness.

what

Unclear but the timeline suggests this whole hating Jews thing happened after the relationship? So, it adds a bitter ex twist to all this.

It's kind of mindblowing.

I recently hit my biggest weight ever. At 6'3" I hit 212 lbs. It's not that bad relatively speaking but considering I was 165 lbs 4 years ago I know all this weight was not necessarily healthy weight. Something clicked when I saw that 212 number and I decided, I don't care what, but I'm going to do *something*, *some kind* of exercise at least 4x a week from now on. I can't afford to not do it. I'm 32 now and time is not going backward for me. I'm also a congenital heart patient so I can't afford to have other cardiovascular disease.

So while I'm uninjured and "healthy" I decided to get back into working out. I have been off of it for at least 9 months because of busy-ness, laziness, excuses, grief, family issues, etc. I know those things happen. But I thought it would be SO miserably hard to do what I committed to do above.

But thankfully, it was actually way easier than I expected for me. I'm tremendously privileged because I have a Tonal at my house. Anyway, I just hopped back into a 4 week Tonal program for the summer. Now having finished the program and eager to try others that are available to me, I'm amazed at how much my health and confidence and aesthetics have changed in just 4 fucking weeks of working out 4+ times a week.

First of all, my health has changed a lot. I'm a very ill mental health patient, with ADHD, C-PTSD, GAD, panic disorder, MDD, etc. but I manage well with psychotherapy and psychiatry. However, my mood has stabilized way more since I started exercising. My psychiatrist also said my ADHD med would be more effective if I exercised more, and boy am I feeling that too. Feeling productive and calm all at the same time.

In addition, I wear an Apple Watch Ultra and use an iPhone. Been tracking my health metrics for a couple years now and a lot of my health metrics have improved in just a month. My resting heart rate is slowly descending. My sleep is improving, my amount of REM and deep sleep is slowly increasing. And I have felt my sleep improve definitely.

The extra fast metabolism is also helping me look a lot less bloated, a lot stronger than a month ago, and a lot slimmer than a month ago, all while eating similarly to how I did before, just substituting for healthier alternatives.

In closing, I'll say that as many know, if you work out consistently enough for long enough, you become chemically addicted to the work out to where it can make you anxious or antsy to miss a day at the gym, or you might be excited to try the next type of exercise or break a PR of yours. Suddenly you're thinking about fitness in a different way than you did when you felt lethargic and averse to the gym. It's a very peculiar transformation to experience. I've felt it strongly about 2x in my life and this is the second time/wind. This has got me hooked and it seems to be turning my life around.

I cannot encourage you strongly enough to consider moving around, doing something--whether it's dancing alone at home/Just Dance or taking a structured group/solo workout class, or just going up/down your townhouse stairs--every day. And push yourself to do a little bit more each week. Take a rest day if you need to but don't let a week go by without moving around with some intensity. Trust me. Watch what happens.

I'm just so excited to be back on a fitness kick rn. I even feel stronger and my tonal strength metrics are increasing. I noticed I feel more stable getting up from the couch, moving around, my clothes fit differently, etc

The other reason it was kind of easier than I expected to get back into fitness was my experience level (I'm about intermediate, just out of shape and slightly joints-injured) and the fact that I committed to two things: do it every day, and don't overthink it.

Don't overthink it I think is most important. Don't overthink becoming the runner you wish you could be. Don't overthink becoming the weightlifter you wish you could be. Just move around every day. Push yourself every week. Eat well. The most important thing to develop when starting fitness is consistency, not overthinking the structure, execution, or longevity of your fitness plan. Get in the habit and your brain chemistry will naturally drive your decision-making toward prioritizing fitness over time.

Just my anecdote for the week.

Nothing says "productive" like writing a novel around "I feel better when exercising".  These ADD meds sure are working.

Nah. 3/10 at best, given the lack of sexualized character designs. You can't just do that in a JRPG.

Yup. People in real life, outside the "enthusiast" bubble on ERA and Twitter, either do not give a single fuck, or like it. Very few spend any energy or time thinking about what it looks like.

I think what we can see of the revision looks neat. Gonna wait for the Pro, though.

Nah. I’m more sad because the character is not bad (talking about Jaime, Ted Kord also has a lot of fans). I also think that it looks like a fun film.

But the superhero fatigue is real, my mother watched the trailer and rolled her eyes: “Another superhero film?”.

I'm a very ill mental health patient, with ADHD, C-PTSD, GAD, panic disorder, MDD, etc. but I manage well with psychotherapy and psychiatry.

I don't know what half of that shit is, but I guarantee it's almost all self-diagnosed.

He is defending the film because he is sure is going to bomb. Also, he needs to grind those representation points after Primos.

CPTSD is the "new" PTSD version that prisoners of war, sex slaves, child soldiers, etc. have.

So of course everyone on social media claims it rather than the old normie version they used to and didn't actually have either since nobody is allowed to dispute it.

My main gripe with OW2 is that my OW1 discs are now useless.
I don't really care bout either game that much, this just bothers me for some reason.

It's funny, too, because my Battleborn discs are useless as well, and anyone who remembers OW/Battleborn comparisons back in the day might find that interesting. I did, anyway.

Can't play online-only games after the servers turn off???

[benji]

Not that Gearbox requiring the servers for single player in Battleborn isn't stupid but it's a little different than Overwatch.

What's Fat4all's deal? Never really paid attention but I keep noticing the cunt more and more often now and his "forum character" is that he's a dog. Seem's to be someone that people fawn over too for some weird reason.

[Uncle]

I actually agree with the sentiment that it feels shitty to own discs you bought that are useless, even if you knew what you were getting into at the time, and even when it's the norm or you're used to fully digital games on steam

I like to collect and it sucks to feel like part of that collection is pointless

the only consolation is the idea that if the internet was wiped out tomorrow, you could still use your 2004 wow discs in a model viewer or extract the audio to reminisce about what once was
