Yeah maybe a couple of sets of this afterward:

* External or internal rotations, depending on where you're weakest (for most people who spend a lot of time at desks this is external rotation)
* Rear delt raises with light weight
* Rowing with as great a range of motion as you can do pain free

Must be strange being absurdly strong and also a fat bitch.

>>5449
I've always found that one of the weirdest parts of being a body-builder - stop all the exercising and you quickly become a fatso.

>>5450

It is possible to not, but it requires a drastic drop in calorie consumption. and when people give up on something, their first instict isn't to think 'better make sure I feel constantly hungry for the next month'.

Have you tried preop MtFs?

>>1707
Yeah lad, why don't you just check the public database of potential transgender folk looking for a shag? Why didn't you just think of that? You wazzock.

>>1708
They're plentiful on OKCupid and Tinder, or at least they were back when I was in the dating game. I think on OKCupid you could search the keyword "trans" and it would pull a fair few up. There are probably more of them now.

>>1707

See, I'm not the OP, but I can understand why trans is not the same as femboy, and it actually annoys me a bit that a lot of the time people seem to view them as interchangeable. I'm even convinced many lads who would make fine femboys get suckered in by the tranny agenda nowadays and become trans, more because it's what they think they should be doing, than because it actually is.

A trans person is, ultimately, a woman, they're going to do womanly things and act all womanly, because a woman is what they want to be. But a femboy isn't. A femboy is a boy, who's feminine. But they're still a boy.

They won't break down in tears after a blowjob because they have deep rooted cock mutilation fantasies they need carrying out in order to feel whole, basically. Trans people are another basket of cats, it's like the type of lad who enjoys dating mental council estate goth lasses- It's worth it sure, but it's a handful.

Anyway, fuck it, I'll stick to furry porn, where it's femboys all the way down.

>>1701

Used to live with a femboy so I never really considered them rare. But now that you've mentioned it I think they lived a lifestyle of people considering them hot shit. Multiple partners. If they wanted rough anonymous sex they would fire up an adult worker account and take their pick of who wanted to pay them. They didn't need the money at all that just gave them what they wanted with no strings.

Newsbotster.

Totse was my first home on the internet. It felt trangressive and exciting, but the people were nice and hanging out on IRC was fun. The community still sort of exists on zoklet.net, but it is definitely not the same.

I learned a lot about online interaction and really social interaction in general from that lot.

The queen mother supposedly once said 'I liked the old Labour Party. The best thing is a good old Tory government with a strong Labour opposition.'

You need a strong opposition to keep the government in check, whoever is in power. Maybe allowing an opposition barrister fucking up is fine, as it's just affecting their client, but allowing the government to fuck-up affects the whole country.

>>90469
Honestly I have to wonder if a proper strong opposition is really realistic these days. A lot of the power of an opposition in the Westminster system seems to rest with people knowing when to do the honorable thing, backbenchers having a conscience, the government knowing when it looks bad in the commons, etc. If you've just got a bunch of nobodies totally loyal to the party and without an original idea in their heads, the government can just bulldoze their way through.
That is setting aside the opportunities that the opposition have to say things that'll make for good telly, but that's really the power of the media - not the opposition itself, and it often seems hamstrung by the media making like the parties and arguing over the politics rather than the procedure of the matter.

Maybe it's just hindsight, but that's always the impression I've gotten from looking at it historically. It's very strange to read about Thatcher nearly being brought down by some nonsense about helicopters, then put it side with all the stunts pulled by the last few governments.

>>90470
Strongly recommend a book by Isabel Hardman - Why We Get The Wrong Politicians.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079YGSCCZ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

She talks a lot about some of the things you refer to, and looks in depth at the problem; ie it isn't particular to oppositions, but why the place is probably full of the wrong people, and the issues it causes all of us.

>>90471

Seconded. For a light-but-insightful companion, I'd suggest Haven't You Heard? by Marie le Conte.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Havent-You-Heard-Gossip-politics-ebook/dp/B07SPLCYSV/

>>90472
Oh agreed - I have that book too and almost recommended it in that >>90471 post. I think both of them are very clever and do some of the best political writing around.

> It's an incredible story, proper /boo/ shit.

Everything sounds like '/boo/ shit' until the truth outs and we realise it was under our noses all along.

I was going through this place's archives a while back and found a post from 2012 that basically said "Get back to /boo/, lad" in response to someone naming Prince Andrew as a Paedophile.

I have a book published in 2009 that calls out, explicitly as it can without actually committing libel, Jimmy Savile for having "a specially equipped ambulance that he uses to abuse the disabled".

Basically what I'm trying to say is that David Icke is right and the government is all lizards. Now I'm going to put my tinfoil back over my head before the mind rays get me.

>>4979
>David Icke is right

God help us all if/when this comes true. We'll all have to move to the Isle of Wight to worship him. I've been there many times, it's hell.

>>4980

The Isle of Wight would be more like Mecca for ARE ICKE. We'd all have to make the pilgrimage once a year to pray at Arum Bay and do six laps around the island counter-clockwise in a pedalo or something.

Just watched a bitchute video about pedogate - it was a mistake. Next up is an hour long documentary entitled "300,000 Children a year blood Sacrificed and put in McDonalds meat!". I'm in for a bad couple of weeks it seems.

>>4979
>under our noses all along
>I have a book published in 2009 that calls out

Insiders at the BBC were openly talking about it in the early 90s. Back then I had a friend who had worked there for almost twenty years, which is how/when I first heard about his antics.

I'm a new driver, and in the short time I've been driving I have noticed a particular class of other drivers who confuse me deeply, because they go 40mph in a 30 zone, but maintain that same 40mph once we're on a 60 road.

I can understand going slowly on a 60 road if you're scared of hitting something, but then why are they speeding in school zones? It's as though they think cars can only go one speed. I just can't make any sense of it, and it's not like I can pull them over and ask what the hell they're playing at.

THERE'S LOADS OF SURFACE WATER ON THE MOTORWAY? AS SOON AS I'VE OVERTAKEN I'LL PULL RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU SO ALL YOU CAN SEE IS SPRAY!

>>30561 I had it suggested to me that they're simply oblivious to speed limits, and are driving as fast as they're comfortable with at all times. Vision and reaction times affect even the most devil-may-care eventually.

Is it just me or do a lot of ordinary people struggle to drive in rain? I've always thought of it as just rain, the most harmless of driving conditions, beyond putting your lights on and braking a bit sooner. But people honestly seem to lose their minds when it's anything more than a drizzle.

The absolute shower of retards I had to endure on my way home from work today was something to behold. I had to swerve into another lane on the motorway because some dozy cow decided to full on pull out of the hard shoulder right in front of me. I had a bloke coming down one of the A roads fully veer over onto the other side and force me to slam on and blare my horn. I had some tosser parked up facing the wrong way on the one way road leading to my street, blocking the whole thing off.

I am beginning to suspect it''s some sort of omen that I shouldn't go out in the car for a few days, like Final Destination or something.

If you think it's bad in this country, see dashcam videos from Australia.

..How long have you been here, lad?

>>15519
Plenty long enough to have had joke bans, but they aren't usually a week and accompanied by the kind of comment that makes it sound like modlad just lost an argument with modmissus and is feeling passive aggressive.

>>15519
This attitude of 'everyone who gets banned is just a whinging cunt and deserves ridicule' is getting really tedious, teenlad. If you're a mod just unban him, I think everyone can do without the back-and-forth.

>>15521
I don't know if it expired or was removed but there was no such ban in the list at around 3pm.

>>15522
Yeah, I did check around that time too. I don't remember seeing that ban yesterday either.

He looks and sounds coked off his nut, it is one of the most unhinged things I have ever seen.

This one is perhaps worse - she is his partner. What's weird about these two is that they were pre-recorded and made to an empty room of people.

>>90458
Oh and this picture is great. Way before she decided she was a Republican and got with MiniTrump, she was married to the governor of California (which she spoke of at length during this speech), who is a Democrat.

Nice picture. Monstrous woman.

>>90451

Fucking hell, I didn't expect it to be that bad. I feel almost exactly like I've been cornered at a party.

>>13505
Depends on your reasoning I suppose. If it helps, 'm signed on and used to do care work and now understandably there's a lot of care work available. Unfortunately I'm staying with my parents for the time being who fall in the at risk higher age range, which I explained to the person who called me and that any other time I'd be happy to take such a job, but I'm not risking my parents health when care homes are nightmares right now. She seemed to understand and they haven't pushed anything since, that was a few weeks ago now.

Lmao.

>>13514
I've done fuck all and so far they've said nothing. Presuming it's just because so many people are using it right now that you can't check what everybody's doing.

>>13515
Let's be honest, next year the news is going to be full of outraged headlines around how many people/companies lied about being on furlough, and how many restaurants magically sold 1000 meals a day on Rishi's scheme.

>>90446
So presumably neither of you believe Javid's reasons for resigning were credible, if all of the things Sunak is doing that are making him the most popular Tory are entirely of his own volition?

>>90452
While both are obviously clever and capable people, I think Sunak comes across as a bit more down-to-earth; I'm quite sure it's all a clever political trick, Sunak went to much posher school/university than Javid, but he somehow seems a bit friendlier is how I describe it. That poshness means he probably gets on a bit better with Boris.

>>90449
I'm not saying he's ugly, just that his facial features are all weirdly exaggerated in a way you'd expect of a caricature.

>>90455
Just say he's got a great big laplander nose and have done with it. You know you want to.

>>90456
His nose is about the last thing I was thinking of.

>>29974
>consciously knowing it was a ridiculous thing to do

It is difficult to give advice, without sounding callous or harsh to you - and I certainly don't mean it to come across that way, but it probably will.

You both sought and got comfort from a situation that was never, or hardly ever going to resolve in a positive way. She is sharing the fact she "has a date" with you, for a reason - it's the long distance equivalent of a breakup. You were both doing it for "a bit of fun" and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You're obviously capable of forming relationships, friendships with women - focus on that positive aspect. You've done it once, you'll do it again. With time, this pain will pass.

It sounds like you need a bit of structure. Sit down, maybe with a colleague if needed, and get a bit of a plan in place. Doesn't have to be fancy with brilliant time estimates. Could just be some scribbles in a note book. But something to give you a rough idea of the shape of the project and what bits might depend on other bits.

In the software development world, something like Trello (free) is popular as a way of making little cards for things like this with columns to show status. (Until you decide it doesn't have enough features and you move to something else).

>>29968
May I ask, without too many specifics, what kind of work do you do?

I have felt the same this year, as have many others I know. Definitely recommend taking a break - I am in the middle of my first two week holiday this year (!) and already feel about a hundred times better. I think a lot of people who have been working from home the past five months have also been putting the hours in and going very hard, and burnout is a real issue, as is general mental health on not seeing people in person. It is very difficult to be creative when you're in this space.

Talk to the people around you, particularly if you're under pressure - many of us are in the same boat.

>>29969
You're right, there's definitely an improvement if I can sit down and go through exactly what I need to do.

We have a similar system at work for task management but I ended up resenting the idea that others can see what I'm doing. It feels quite unnatural for me where usually I like jumping through tasks as and when.

>>29970
Creative stuff where I'm part translating reams of information into packages. Yeah, I was thinking back when I was writing OP that I really haven't taken any time off since Christmas because options are quite limited at the moment besides doing nothing.

There was and idea to use the bank holiday to get away and see an old mate but it looks the usual engineering works is going on. Maybe I will try and relax with a new game.

>>29971
>besides doing nothing

But that's the important part - I have spent the past week dodging the rain and doing DIY around the house, reading, and mostly only using this computer and not the one that is about 1 metre to the left and hooked up to the work VPN - doing nothing is good. Games are good. Don't feel guilty about doing nothing, that is the literal definition of taking a break.

On the work and prioritisation stuff, I recommend a system called Getting Things Done - I don't use it all the time like a madman, but I do fall back on it when I get stressed or task-overloaded as you have described; there are other systems, but that one works for me - it's a book by David Allen and is used/taught by a lot of companies. It begins with a great big braindump, and I find that part very soothing when it all gets too much.

I fairly enjoyed Gangs of London. They're not really gangs though they're oligarchs. The cinematography and fight choreography is all good.

I bought Year of the Rabbit after this post >>23183. It's good but not Matt Berries best work in my opinion - probably because it's a comedy crime drama with an actual story arc, but some of the characters are a little grating too. At points Matt Berries telltale style doesn't fit well with the setting, but it's still worth a watch and i'll keep an eye out for series 2.

Inside the Bruderhof was alright. It felt like it only scratched the surface but I suppose that's all they were allowed to do.

Strike a balance between being not getting your hopes up but not being too pessimistic.

I try to be rational about it, note the ways that this thing did not live up to expectations, and think about whether this is just a fact of life, or if there's some other thing that might reach my expectations.

Maybe I'm wrong in my judgements, and accepting more of the former. Our resident Buddhists and nihilists will no doubt jump out of the woodwork to tell me that searching for more is wrong and will keep me forever unhappy, but that hasn't been my experience so far in life.

Prevention is cheaper than the cure, which is what the first reply here points out. I think it's the philosopher Seneca who best outlined how anger, disappointment and regret all stem from the same misalignment of expectation, and reality. The old truism of expecting the worst at all times is really quite hard to argue with, without resorting to sheer sentimentality.

The important question if you are already experiencing disappointment, however, is if you have you learned from it. Were your expectations realistic? If so, what went wrong? Can you apply that lesson next time, or is it out of your hands?

>>29966

It's not that searching for something to make you happy will never be fruitful, it's more that when you have found something to make you happy, the tendency is to simply want more. It's perfectly possible to find happiness, it's just never enough, hence paradoxically "unhappy" in the sense that you always have some new idea of happiness to chase that you don't currently posess.

I think wrapping your head around that is a very useful exercise in mindfulness, not in the wishy washy "well there's no point trying to achieve anything" sense, but in helping you to really view what you do have and what you could have a bit more objectively. I'm a hedonist, I don't resist nor see any inherent virtue in resisting the instinctive drive to seek pleasure. But I know when I'm going to make myself miserable by lusting after something that I'll never realistically have.

Downing Street has dismissed as “utter nonsense” claims that Boris Johnson is set to quit within six months due to continued ill-health from Covid-19.

No.10 sources ridiculed a report by The Times diary column that quoted Dominic Cummings’ father-in-law as suggesting that the prime minister was ready to step down because of the lingering effects of contracting the virus earlier this year.

Convenient!
