[foggy lodge]

Groudon is in top 10 of ladder we won

[lofty tartan]

That's what I was aiming for

[coral thistle]

At least aim for #1

[molten oasis]

Still

[next stump]

groudon got 4th and 5th place in victoryroad

i think it’ll start rising

[rustic mountain]

its trending upward yea

[lofty tartan]

Nice.

[molten oasis]

ok nvm I have to genuinely worry about groudon as a zacian player fuck

[spiral ridge]

lol

[lofty tartan]

I'm gonna keep rocking scarf whale because of fun factor

[spiral ridge]

i love scarf whale

[rustic mountain]

haha yea its def been picking up, not something atleast rn u can write off as easily

[coral thistle]

I thought they didn’t exist anymore

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/56415fe42669ac76 fellas am I cooked against groudon?

[spiral ridge]

one time as mirai i got fucking outsped and was so shcoked it made me do it too

[solid frigate]

scarf Ogre feels meh ino but you do you

[foggy lodge]

Nah you have roaring lando

[spiral ridge]

i dont thjink its the best but i find it fun af to use lmao

[foggy lodge]

Is okay

[chrome knot]

woa

[lofty tartan]

Scarf Whale is fun.

[rustic mountain]

if the team is built around supporting it, its solid

[foggy lodge]

Mainly Lando does well

[molten oasis]

True breaking swipe spam+knock off

[foggy lodge]

I actually

[molten oasis]

After flutter dies

[solid frigate]

eh i guess you right

Just not as comfortable imo

[foggy lodge]

Have 0 experience in the Groudon match up with the team lol

[spiral ridge]

high risk high reward i felt with scarf whale

[lofty tartan]

I love matching into Zama with scarf whale and hitting hydro pump when they wide guard

[molten oasis]

Anyway back to panel lining black knight

[foggy lodge]

I guess Chien-Pao Zama and Pelipper Raging in the back??

[rustic mountain]

i mean its the trade off right? u give up ur move choice flexibility for the ability to have built in speed control. doesnt mean u have to play it or enjoy it urself but its not like a troll item by any means

[solid frigate]

Zamazenta:Why are we still here

Just to suffer

[solid frigate]

yeah fair

[lofty tartan]

Plus you get to run Booster Jugs and have accurate Hurricanes

[coral thistle]

Would probably try it both ways

[foggy lodge]

Also Morris could you help me to practice the Miraidon match up some day

[solid frigate]

oh yeah thats one of the more interesting Partners for Kyogre

[lofty tartan]

Jug Stan for life

[foggy lodge]

I want to test the Amoonguss Raging line against it

[lofty tartan]

I run like the Jugs/Tsareena/Kyogre core.

[solid frigate]

i can do Both Cart and Showdown no problem

[molten oasis]

I prob take like, pon moon lando and Zac/pao into groudon i assume?

[foggy lodge]

okok thanks!!

[molten oasis]

I’m actually not sure if I take Zac into groudon ngl

[foggy lodge]

I'll tell you when

[molten oasis]

Especially cuz it’s stellar Zac

[rustic mountain]

try it see how it goes

[coral thistle]

Why did I immediately think of league…

[solid frigate]

Pon and Chien Are cool to bring imo Lando i mean sure it beats Fire and Grass Teras and Zac it depends

[molten oasis]

I have to run into a groudon

And my odds of that are low and I’ll more likely run into Calyrex/miraidon all night lol

[fading bone]

omg 3 bo3 in a row wins

[solid frigate]

thi it depends if that other mons just fucking dies to Zacian

[lofty tartan]

Maybe you'll get lucky

[solid frigate]

HE IS LEARNING WE TAKE THOSE

[fading bone]

tourneys here i come

[rustic mountain]

sun doesnt seem like a good mu for zacian in general so it might turn out yea leaving it on the bench is better

[molten oasis]

Or I just ask Connor for a bo3

[fading bone]

1100 elo 3-0 but second one came down to wire

[lofty tartan]

Also how's the Black Knight build, Drago? Tight?

[solid frigate]

not so fast imo but you are consistent for now

[molten oasis]

It’s a really good kit, I’ll send pics after I finish panel lining

[fading bone]

jopkin jokin i lack so mych game knowledge lmao its unreal i started a week ago

[molten oasis]

There’s a lot of panel lining potential for the kit it’s awesome

[foggy lodge]

there is a tour next week if you want to play it

[fading bone]

im down

[lofty tartan]

Word. I'll be ordering one in my next kit dump

[foggy lodge]

Is cart tour and seems a bit chill to start

[rustic mountain]

its a steep learning curve, jus keep watching good players and playing

[foggy lodge]

Its a 6 swiss rounds tour

[molten oasis]

Would suggest this to anyone fs

[fading bone]

can u give me tldr of tours its like low stakes online tourney

[foggy lodge]

i can send the link wait

[lofty tartan]

We've got a Reg G tournament on the 17th. Cash prizing. Limitless. Etc.

[solid frigate]

you will be there one day

so far good mentality is what you need

[molten oasis]

I’m a little annoyed about 1 part of the kit being the color correction stickers for the wings

[solid frigate]

should i do that before Regionals

[foggy lodge]

https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/67770daaed2c78098c6a8ba9/details

[molten oasis]

Cuz I sit and do them, And then I don’t even use that part of the wings

[lofty tartan]

I hate stickers for color. This is why I paint my kits

[solid frigate]

like a tour in Limitless

[rustic mountain]

grassroots generally are lower stakes but some require entry fees. irl tours are higher stakes as they require ticket entry ontop of travel/hotels etc

[molten oasis]

Like I did all of that just to not use them on the kit lol

16 of those that sucked

[solid frigate]

i am still finding Hotel that is cheap cuz my parents insist to go with me

[lofty tartan]

If you want. I'm not gonna force anyone to join our events. They're like mid-tier because we offer cash and that draws players in

[molten oasis]

I don’t have paint rn but maybe in the future

[lofty tartan]

Yeah honestly painting kits is hella fun and gives a sense of accomplishment

Like this is mine and it's unique

[rustic mountain]

hope u find a good one

[next stump]

did you get them spectator passes

[solid frigate]

Yeah cuz like the cost is more expensive than going on my own lmao

[solid frigate]

im in the competition itself

im playing

[rustic mountain]

yea but they need their own passes to be given entry

[spiral ridge]

they still need spectators passes

[next stump]

i know, but they can’t enter without one

[lofty tartan]

I won't repeat what they said but yeah they're right

[solid frigate]

i told them that they can go sightseeing and i will do it on my own

[spiral ridge]

be the 4th mika :3

[lofty tartan]

That works

[next stump]

ah okay, makes sense

[lofty tartan]

You're not my dad!

[solid frigate]

LMAO

[spiral ridge]

check again

[rustic mountain]

🤨

[spiral ridge]

[lofty tartan]

Dollars to donuts I'm old enough to be your dad, Scotty

[spiral ridge]

very true

[solid frigate]

but then again

Im already Expereinced with my Miraidon Team rn

Just need to put my Miraidon team in Rk9labs

[spiral ridge]

i realize this is pretty perfect set up for a your mom joke but hadnt prepped to make one, wasted oppurtunity

[lofty tartan]

Lmao

[next stump]

good to hear, i hope you reach your goals

[solid frigate]

if i got into Day 2 im gonna be hyped lmao

[rustic mountain]

make sure ur keeping up to date w/ meta trends and everything, dont lock ur team in till close to the actual event and keep tweaking/playing the team in the meantime

[solid frigate]

dont worry, also i will do Team reports if its possible for me

[rustic mountain]

comfortability is good but dont get complacent

[lofty tartan]

Yeah I never lock my team til the night before the event. Things change

Good to have the space for flexibility

[rustic mountain]

im not worried

[bold geode]

Yummy cookie

[rustic mountain]

[spiral ridge]

oooooooooo

[solid frigate]

I’m changing some of my EVs for my Mons and I kinda think Its fine rn

[lofty tartan]

It also can't be stressed enough Torrent.

Get a full night's rest and eat breakfast before the event

You'll thank me after

[rustic mountain]

more just giving a suggestion/advice

[lofty tartan]

8 rounds of BO3 pokemon is mentally exhausting

[molten oasis]

I need to play more tournaments if I wanna go into NAIC again

[coral thistle]

Bro might as well give a massage session alongside

[molten oasis]

And actually day 2 this time

[spiral ridge]

FUCKK VIDEO I WANTED TO SEND GOT DELISTED

[foggy lodge]

And in person

[lofty tartan]

Like a full breakfast and a full night of sleep goes a long long way for mental acuity

[solid frigate]

Yeah i am the kind if guy who wants breakfast and A Chocolate Bar for Sugar lmao

[foggy lodge]

I still need to experience what in person tours are

[molten oasis]

They’re very fun

[lofty tartan]

GET SOME PROTEIN. PROTEIN BRAIN FOOD

[solid frigate]

ill hold your word Drago

[coral thistle]

If you can sleep…

[solid frigate]

i will dont worry

[foggy lodge]

There was a local this weekend i could have perfectly go but it was reg H and i don't have a team lol

[molten oasis]

Protein shakes/bars are great

[lofty tartan]

By the end of the day at Toronto a bunch of friends were getting sloppy. It's tiring as hell.

[solid frigate]

tbf Creph originally would join me in Birmingham but hopped off cuz he’s busy

[molten oasis]

I’m looking at going to the gym once I get my bike tire fixed

[lofty tartan]

Being snacks!

[rustic mountain]

im more on the wolfey end of the spectrum where nerves and my usual inability to eat breakfast too early in the morning would lead me to eat like a protein bar/banana for the entire day

[coral thistle]

Hahaha, the ready to eat meals

[lofty tartan]

Snacks and bottled water!

[molten oasis]

I didn’t bring snacks that was such a mistake lmao

Starving half of the tournament

[solid frigate]

yep exactly love me some hydration by Water

[foggy lodge]

realistically how much time do you have between rounds to do your things?

[molten oasis]

Depends

[coral thistle]

I don’t even drink enough water on a normal day…

[next stump]

anywhere from 5-30 mins

depends how fast you win or lose

[rustic mountain]

yea depends how long ur set takes relative to the other sets

[spiral ridge]

how fast you kick ass or get ass kicked

[molten oasis]

If you finish quickly like 15-30 minutes if not like 5-15 minutes is what I remembered

[foggy lodge]

rough

[rustic mountain]

just win fast

[molten oasis]

Fr

[rustic mountain]

[coral thistle]

Hope you don’t need go number 2 mid session

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

And then won that set

[bold geode]

Bro got a game loss for taking a shit smfh

[rustic mountain]

[coral thistle]

Hey man, when you gotta go, you gotta go

[molten oasis]

I don’t control when my bowel movements start man lol

[spiral ridge]

[molten oasis]

If it’s mid session womp womp

[bold geode]

Your bowels have a skill issue then

[coral thistle]

Especially on nerves, it can feel like a waterfall at times

[solid frigate]

anyways heres a meme

[coral thistle]

Just gotta keep your mind off of it

[rustic mountain]

Drop the r

[molten oasis]

Until I see you in person

[lofty tartan]

Did you do leg day?

[solid frigate]

I’m buying them when its close to the match

[coral thistle]

Bro, cereal is the life essence that keeps the cogs turning

[molten oasis]

That will determine the rest of your days being called fat or not

[bold geode]

Oh I was dog ass in the format dw

[lofty tartan]

Cereal is just like sugar and empty calories. Super tasty though.

[rustic mountain]

depends what cereal, if ur eating like frosted flakes then no

[molten oasis]

What format? Vgc 2013?

[rustic mountain]

[solid frigate]

Time to be the Yiga Clan for the Bananas

[bold geode]

I did
Though will admit not as much as I would have liked cuz I was busy AF today
But next week we have routine

[coral thistle]

I’d hope that’s not your cereal of choice

Eh, beggars can’t be choosers

[lofty tartan]

Monday Tuesday, Thursday Friday next week. I'm gonna bother you about it

[next stump]

honey nut cheerios

[molten oasis]

I went to ihop once at NAIC

[lofty tartan]

Arms legs arms legs, abs every session

[bold geode]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch best cereal, no argument cuz if you do you're wrong

[coral thistle]

Based

[spiral ridge]

i fucking love honey nut cheerios

[rustic mountain]

me personally? nah i look at the sugary cereals more like snacks then something of actual sustenance

[molten oasis]

and then some other place that had chicken and waffles

[bold geode]

Oh that I've been on for weeks brother

[lofty tartan]

THANK YOU

[gentle crag]

dazedmika has given 1 Gen Rep to treeco.

[coral thistle]

I’m on the shreddies personally

[solid frigate]

tbf i have been through Tournaments just that is Martial Arts rather than Brain power like Pokemon

[coral thistle]

But honey nut ain’t bad

[left bobcat]

Ooooo

[molten oasis]

Monke you got an idea on how long you’ll be in New Orleans yet?

[left bobcat]

Honey Nut Cheerios?

[bold geode]

Fatass

[left bobcat]

Haven’t had those in a while

[spiral ridge]

mirror is that way dude

[lofty tartan]

You gotta up your game though

[molten oasis]

Uh huh and you wanna load your bad full of snacks

[rustic mountain]

i was doin multigrain cheerios for awhile till i saw a bunch of stuff on how bad it actually is for you so i swapped to a grandpa cereal in bran flakes

[left bobcat]

I’ve been eating like a fat mf

[bold geode]

I.....
Honestly don't know

[coral thistle]

There’s a reason it’s called honey nut

[lofty tartan]

I'm gonna be crossing 6k pound volume soon l, Monke

[molten oasis]

You have to be there for a minimum of 3 days

[left bobcat]

Still not weight gain

[bold geode]

My bad now? I figured I'd be loading my good up

[molten oasis]

Imo

[spiral ridge]

yeah multigrain is kinda just a misinfo sell on most things

[molten oasis]

I love auto correct

[coral thistle]

Bulking season was last month, smh

[spiral ridge]

super misleading and lets them put a nice price hike on stuff usually

[bold geode]

I did bulking season for 3 years

[coral thistle]

A gym will do me nicely, ty

[molten oasis]

I’ll be there the main 3 days idk if I’ll stay another day for sightseeing and shit

I kinda didn’t do much culture related stuff last year

[lofty tartan]

Trail mix. Nuts. Anything like that.

[rustic mountain]

not even so much the multigrain general mills is just not a good brand, they do a lot of sketchy practices

[coral thistle]

more bulk = more gains

[molten oasis]

We ate pretty standard food lol

[bold geode]

I'll probably go in Thursday, and then leave either Sunday after the event or that Monday

[lofty tartan]

Tree knows the deal

[molten oasis]

Plan your hotel early

[bold geode]

I will

[spiral ridge]

oh 100% that too

[molten oasis]

I’m taking 1 or 2 friends with me is my plan

[spiral ridge]

just was talking in general of multigrain stuff

[coral thistle]

Don’t go with anyone

[lofty tartan]

Meh. The things you eat are not equal. There's bulk, but there's dirty bulk, and then there's just fatty eating. Calories from fat. High sodium etc

[bold geode]

Probably gonna book and shit like literally right after I register

[coral thistle]

I was being sarcastic…

[plain drum]

Hotel? Trivago

[molten oasis]

You can really easily cancel your hotel

[lofty tartan]

Translates super well over text too.

[coral thistle]

Real

[plain drum]

[bold geode]

Triva-go fuck yourself is what I say to bad hotel prices

[molten oasis]

Plan it early, it was ass trying to find a close enough hotel for cheap a month before NAIC

[bold geode]

I like nuts

[coral thistle]

Booking.com personally

[rustic mountain]

ur not wrong tho w/ the labeling/misinformation overall tho. its like the whole thing with natural flavors not actually being natural

[molten oasis]

Cuz everyone had those places completely booked out

[plain drum]

Booking.yeah

[lofty tartan]

So does my wife

[rustic mountain]

atleast in the u.s

[left bobcat]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2274714334 terapagos just exploded

[bold geode]

[spiral ridge]

its mainly a healthy food scam the part i know and am talking

[coral thistle]

Bro just plugged an ad

[spiral ridge]

not really that much healthier at all

[molten oasis]

I’m also kinda in the middle of debating if I go to NAIC or Anaheim

[plain drum]

What can I say, I know my travel agencies

[molten oasis]

Anaheim sounds more fun for tourism but I can compete in NAIC

[coral thistle]

Yeah, I’m a bit of a travel enthusiast myself…

[foggy lodge]

[bold geode]

Compete or spectate is the question

[molten oasis]

Yup

That too

[spiral ridge]

man just eat normal amounts and die young anyway fuck it shits rigged

[rustic mountain]

lmao

[coral thistle]

Personally… I would never spectate xD

[lofty tartan]

Her words not mine. (she loves Snickers)

[plain drum]

[molten oasis]

Idk keep me posted monke

[rustic mountain]

its tough for sure to navigate the food landscape, jus gta do ur best

[spiral ridge]

go out in a blaze of temperance and trying to do okay

[bold geode]

I would say she ain't into white chocolate then but uh

[lofty tartan]

Real talk. I am super informed about what I eat now since I started lifting.

[rustic mountain]

good for u

[coral thistle]

Bro walks outside to snow warning irl

[lofty tartan]

I'm not dieting or being a health food nut, but I'm making informed decisions

[plain drum]

[spiral ridge]

candied pecans are the shit im with her

[molten oasis]

What’s the diet like?

I’m looking into working out soon

[lofty tartan]

Pecan Snickers are dangerous

[molten oasis]

I think it’ll help with my mental

[bold geode]

I shall
My mom might come or not, but idk if she wants to like actually spectate and shit
If she even comes

[lofty tartan]

Too tasty

[spiral ridge]

THOSE EXIST???

[coral thistle]

Bro, just eat less, forget a diet

[rustic mountain]

yea i think thats best tbh, a lot of diets are terrible for ur health long term even if they can help more short term

[spiral ridge]

IM TALKING FOOD CART THINGS

[lofty tartan]

SCOTTY ALLOW ME TO BLOW YOUR MIND

[bold geode]

I love working out
Not even mental, it just wakes me tf up

[spiral ridge]

oih. my. god

[rustic mountain]

the word die is in diet i think its prolly something to avoid

[molten oasis]

I could do it at home ig

I don’t have weights tho

[spiral ridge]

the nougat can be too much for me sometimes but i gotta fucking try this now

[coral thistle]

Well, what do you call one singular dice… am I right?

[bold geode]

Die is in diet and you don't want that. Eat 6 burgers daily

[spiral ridge]

i see it mika, no fucking way

[rustic mountain]

well i wouldnt say that either haha

[spiral ridge]

"the cows eat grass anbd theyre in the meat and cheese, must be good

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/fat-eating-monkey-fast-hungry-gif-15734457

[spiral ridge]

how the fuck did i type greese instead of grass

[bold geode]

I love the almond Snickers personally

[molten oasis]

It was too perfect lmao

[coral thistle]

If my burgers ain’t greasy, I don’t want’em, murica

[left bobcat]

Pecan alone makes it dangerous

[spiral ridge]

time to check local wawa

[bold geode]

Yeah cows eat grass so technically if you eat a steak, you're eating grass. Steak is vegan chat

[left bobcat]

🦅🇺🇸🦅

[spiral ridge]

i can attest to this

Me at Thanksgiving

[gentle crag]

dollarmonke has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago

[coral thistle]

The problem is?

[left bobcat]

I used to eat like that as a kid

I remember eating a whole box of pizza by myself

[coral thistle]

You don’t know what grass tastes like… or do you?

[lofty tartan]

So @molten oasis about dieting. Honestly you should just focus on eating for nutrition . Weights are literally the smallest hurdle. The larger one is being consistent and working out when you're scheduled to even if you don't wanna

[spiral ridge]

yo white ass thanksgiviing just serving straights uncooked greens to you

[gentle crag]

scottyboi7422 has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke

[bold geode]

Talking about eating bad as you have a pfp of Dave Blunts
Fitting

[rustic mountain]

i think ppl just get too wrapped up in extremes with eating on either side, its tricky but its just about finding the foods that work for u and balance within those foods. its important to know ur blood type for a plethora of reasons but one of the most important is ur blood type can help inform you on what foods actually benefit/sync up with your biological make up

[molten oasis]

Cool ty

[left bobcat]

I said as a kid

[plain drum]

Tree spitting

[lofty tartan]

You can work out extremely competently for strong gains with only dumbells

[bold geode]

Hey
They have salad too

[left bobcat]

There’s a difference now

[coral thistle]

I just eat less when I wanna lose weight…

[spiral ridge]

youre not gonna believe what salad is made of

[lofty tartan]

Super important.

[left bobcat]

The only works so much

[lofty tartan]

The blood of my enemies

[left bobcat]

You can’t deny your body nutrition

[coral thistle]

Done wonders for me

[spiral ridge]

quite literal caesar salad okay

[left bobcat]

For you maybe but not for others

[spiral ridge]

understandable

[bold geode]

Yeah
I also feel like some people who are overweight like
At least in my case it's not as much eating shit stuff, but it's having no moderation whatsoever

[coral thistle]

I used to be a right pig teehee

[lofty tartan]

@molten oasis the biggest change I made to my diet is increased calories and increased protein. I eat 250g of protein a day right now

I shoot for 3300 calories but it's tough

[bold geode]

[left bobcat]

Some people just stop eating lose all the weight and then gain right back up because the body demands it

[coral thistle]

But now I’m just… wtf is a baby pig called

[left bobcat]

It only works temporarily

[plain drum]

Piglet

[lofty tartan]

Animal protein is preferable

[rustic mountain]

yea moderation is huge, also a big thing i realized awhile back is just eat till ur comfortable dont eat till ur "full"

[left bobcat]

A strict diet is works best

[coral thistle]

Thank you

[gentle crag]

jakob6773 has given 1 Gen Rep to maskedravager

[lofty tartan]

Like chocolate has a degree of protein but no one is getting ripped off 40 hersheys a day

[plain drum]

My uncle John Hershey wants to see you in court for this

[rustic mountain]

hitting that full spot is just a recipe for disaster cuz usually ur eating more then u prolly shouldve in that case/ my eyes were bigger then my stomach is a phrase for a reason

[coral thistle]

Oh god, don’t get me started on hearing that word…. Protein

[left bobcat]

Just eat chicken and rice

[bold geode]

Yes that for sure
Cuz if you're "full" , really you've overate

[coral thistle]

People be acting like it the second coming of god

[left bobcat]

And as for snacks just eat cucumbers with lime and salt

[lofty tartan]

I always eat until it feels like I have to force a bite then I stop completely

[rustic mountain]

exactly

[lofty tartan]

Protein is critical for muscle growth

[plain drum]

You will buy my sponsored powder and you will use my promo code

[left bobcat]

I remember for my training nothing but water

[lofty tartan]

Exercising creates micro tears in muscles. Your body fills it with protein

[bold geode]

I'd be fucking Arnold if that were the case

[coral thistle]

As long as it tastes good, I’m in

[left bobcat]

We would even eat salt and they told us to drink water

[coral thistle]

Just don’t move kek

[left bobcat]

That was basically our Gatorade

[lofty tartan]

Electrolytes from salt is what your body uses when you sweat so that tracks

[left bobcat]

Yep

[lofty tartan]

Electrolytes from sugar are bad

Or rather not as good

[coral thistle]

Im a lost cause when you talk about this icl

[bold geode]

One thing
Hell I'm probably gonna get some fuckin disease from dyes or some shit
Y'all know Mio water?

[lofty tartan]

Prime drinks are chock full of electrolytes from sugar

[coral thistle]

I’m just too ignorant lol

[left bobcat]

They told us “it’s very hot right now so YOU WILL consume salt packs and YOU WILL DRINK 12 full canteens of water everyday”

[fading bone]

3-1 bo3

[lofty tartan]

So bad for you

[rustic mountain]

no

[bold geode]

Like the Logan Paul drinks?

[fading bone]

had this super close game against this dude, then our final match i just ran him down with wood hammer rillaboom and chen piao

[left bobcat]

Nobody was drinking 12 canteens a day

But the salt tracks

[coral thistle]

I mean, you’re asking for your own demise, if you’re drinking that garbage

[lofty tartan]

Yeah they were firing at critics going on about how it has electrolytes

[bold geode]

Low-key that shit is ass

[plain drum]

Lowkey? LOL

[coral thistle]

Who in their right mind, takes influencer recommendation..

[lofty tartan]

[rustic mountain]

[bold geode]

Water flavoring

[left bobcat]

I wonder who still even drinks prime

[rustic mountain]

ohhhhh

[left bobcat]

Aside from kids

[coral thistle]

Gatorade is better than prime

[lofty tartan]

Yeah honestly just eat good and drink plenty of water.

[coral thistle]

But imma still not drink either

[left bobcat]

Anything is better than prime

[rustic mountain]

i mean water is the best source of hydration

[coral thistle]

Both yucky

[left bobcat]

Even kool aid is better

[bold geode]

What I do drink wise is deadass
Just drink a lot of water but if I'm getting tired of regular tasting water I'll put some Mio in the water
Got a few flavors on my shelf rn

[rustic mountain]

u can get higher alkalized water, higher electrolyte water. everything else is a marketing tactic

[coral thistle]

Bro, I’m drink Ribena until my bladder turns purple

[left bobcat]

After my training I stopped drinking soda like that

[solid frigate]

Water is Top tier Substance

[coral thistle]

Call me lean

[bold geode]

Even Gatorade sells water now

[rustic mountain]

lmao

[coral thistle]

Canned Water

[left bobcat]

I think I only drank soda like 4 times this year

[bold geode]

Dehydrated water

[lofty tartan]

Remember this @bold geode . Hydration is critical for lifting. It reduces cramps as well as other things

[coral thistle]

You’re a better person than me

[rustic mountain]

i mostly only drink water. im shocked how many ppl barely drink it

[solid frigate]

ah yes Dehydration

[coral thistle]

Might as well drink fried water at that point

[lofty tartan]

It's why I don't use protein supplements that require milk anymore

[left bobcat]

Water is just more refreshing

[rustic mountain]

Clear whey protein isolate

[coral thistle]

Hey bro, that’s what you do when you test who’s pee goes more yellow

[left bobcat]

Especially after a long day of training in the heat or cutting the grass because my neighbors are like “you want trabajo?”

[bold geode]

Room

[plain drum]

Room for me

[solid frigate]

Room or warm

[plain drum]

MY GUYS LET'S GO

[coral thistle]

COLD

[left bobcat]

Don’t care that shit better be cold

[lofty tartan]

I think you should be drinking 1/3 your body weight in ounces of water a day

[coral thistle]

IF ITS NOT COLD, ITS MOLD

[rustic mountain]

yea room temp is the best way to consume it. i prefer cold tho

[bold geode]

Cold hurts my teeth since I ain't take care of em that much as a child and if it's warm you're a fucking psychopath

[solid frigate]

Room temp Water is Goated

ICE COLD WATER

[plain drum]

[bold geode]

Brother I am around 230 rn

Other than that my water better be cold

[solid frigate]

there is a reason my VGC is Literally WATER

[bold geode]

That is 70-75 lbs of water

[coral thistle]

[lofty tartan]

So roughly 76.5 ounces

[bold geode]

Oh so not literally a third ok

[plain drum]

[bold geode]

I was finna say damn dude

[coral thistle]

If it was bottled water, plausible

[rustic mountain]

yea haha a third of ur actual weight for any1 would be crazy

[coral thistle]

Put me on Evian, I can do it

[lofty tartan]

A third in ounces lol you don't measure liquid in pounds

[bold geode]

Brother that's all I drink

[bold geode]

What if I do

[coral thistle]

Bro I could live off Evian

I mean I know it's drippy so the fit gotta be hard

[lofty tartan]

12 parts per million. Relatively low

[coral thistle]

I thought you were on about down there…

[left bobcat]

[plain drum]

Think ours is probably around 85 PPM

[coral thistle]

But then I remembered… it’s blood…

[lofty tartan]

Don't you have Google?

[bold geode]

Nah bro freaky ahh water

[bold geode]

You think I wanna do that shit

[solid frigate]

i see…

[left bobcat]

And what is this google you speak of?

[lofty tartan]

Man Maine really is low. But Kansas is like 225ppm

[coral thistle]

The piss droplets? How hard are they? I don’t know

[bold geode]

Oh I was thinking something else LMAO

[coral thistle]

Ah…

[left bobcat]

[solid frigate]

i think Manchester has relatively low ass Water Hardness

London is Very High

[plain drum]

What's the average in Maine?

[solid frigate]

i think Also Bristol

[coral thistle]

Well, depends if it comes out solid?

[lofty tartan]

12ppm

[plain drum]

Oof

[solid frigate]

thats suprisingly low

[coral thistle]

Wait, you’re telling me water hardness is a real thing?

I just thought it was some unfiltered dick joke

[lofty tartan]

Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium

[coral thistle]

How can water be hard when it is wet?

[lofty tartan]

[left bobcat]

….

Bro-

[coral thistle]

Look man, chemistry wasn’t my strongest suit

You're way up there. Kansas is the worst at 225ppm

But it explains why your tap water is gross

[bold geode]

[coral thistle]

HOW CAN WATER BE VERY HARD

[lofty tartan]

Monke, go fetch me a bucket of steam please.

[left bobcat]

Why of course

[coral thistle]

I’m just gonna toggle off

I'll have to check my area. I'm central Maine which is much different than northern or southern. Drastically

[left bobcat]

Maine?

[coral thistle]

Well “apparently” my water is “very hard”

I’ve never been more confused in my life

[left bobcat]

Hmmmm

[solid frigate]

at least i know that 2 years ago when i migrated to UK

[left bobcat]

Will you go on a 10 year long journey to find the answer? @coral thistle

[torn parrot]

[plain drum]

Hi Maya

[left bobcat]

[coral thistle]

Give me 20 and I’ve still got no chance

[lofty tartan]

5.7ppm in my area of Maine @plain drum

Our water hardness level across the board is really low

[left bobcat]

This could only mean one thing

[coral thistle]

IS THAT GOOD?

IS THAT BAD?

[left bobcat]

It means

[plain drum]

I see

[left bobcat]

You will go through a journey and along the way you will seek what it is you seek…. ☝️😼

[coral thistle]

[coral thistle]

I won’t be losing any sleep over that kek

[left bobcat]

You think I used any of the things I learnt in mathematics

[left bobcat]

Pfffffff no

[coral thistle]

Exactly

[left bobcat]

I don’t think most of us have

[coral thistle]

I think I can go my life not knowing why water is hard

[lofty tartan]

I just got handed a 20 dollar bill at work with a phone number and "call me" written on it o.O

[coral thistle]

[plain drum]

Idk if I'd call that number

[left bobcat]

This is why no one has friends nowadays

What? Do they have an implant that blows when you hang up….

Don’t answer that

[left bobcat]

Not a good one. I'm an overnight associate for Circle K. But they made me a good offer.

[left bobcat]

It’s happened in a few towns I’ve been in

[chrome knot]

@rustic mountain alive?

A set of what….

[chrome knot]

rats

[plain drum]

Splendid

[coral thistle]

I’m not even gonna ask

[coral thistle]

Sounds pretty normal to me

[lofty tartan]

@bold geode btw something I started recently is keeping a log of how much volume I lift and how many calories I burn

Small things that go a long way

[left bobcat]

I remember I had of buddy of mine back when I was in middle school he was in high school he was invited to a party by a place known as little river which had a water fall he went to that party and rumor was it that he was set up and they pushed him down the falls

He didn’t know how to swim so he drowned

[lofty tartan]

That's random and tragic

[coral thistle]

Wtf

[lofty tartan]

I was once held over a bridge above a dam when I was a kid, being bullied. Everyone kept driving by, no one stopped to helpb

So I had to fight my way back up despite being incredibly small

After his death my mom told me to always be careful who I hang around

[lofty tartan]

Wise mom

[left bobcat]

He was a good kid but ANYWAYS

let me not ruin the mood but that’s basically were some of my paranoia comes from

[coral thistle]

Hmm… you just never know, especially nowadays

[left bobcat]

Well since I’m in Georgia people aren’t surprised

Atlanta is even crazier

[coral thistle]

Murica

[lofty tartan]

Violence is pretty typical everywhere.

It's the times and the people it has produced

[coral thistle]

Nah bro, just go Norway

[left bobcat]

I remember classes getting pepper sprayed was the norm

[coral thistle]

It must be like a starting town

Yeah, can’t say I’ve ever had that

[lofty tartan]

Maine is historically low crime and violence and we've got people shooting others in the head and dumping bodies in creeks now. It's wild

Absolute insanity

[left bobcat]

I was studying for my finals during my junior year and the stupid freshman in the class I was studying in pepper sprayed the class room

I swear freshman keep getting crazier and crazier especially from what I hear at the middle schools

[coral thistle]

You can’t make that shit up

[left bobcat]

You simply can’t

I remember I was talking to my recruiters wife and she told me that kids would be vaping, fighting, and a good majority of these kids don’t know how to read

At first I just thought that was probably just my old middle school thing but nope the more I like into it it’s more common

[coral thistle]

Well, you know what they say, you’re told how to move before how to talk

[left bobcat]

That’s why I’m more strict on my sister cuz for some reason my mom went soft

I’ll be damned if my little sister doesn’t know how to read a sentence

[plain drum]

It's projected that in my state it's going to take at least a decade before we might even have a chance at recovering the education system from COVID

[lofty tartan]

Honestly a big problem is the complacency of parents these days.

[left bobcat]

Pretty much

[lofty tartan]

Most people seem to want to push their kids off on others and don't bother to teach at home.

[left bobcat]

They just let electronics do all the parenting

[coral thistle]

out of context

[lofty tartan]

We're very involved in our child's education and development.

[left bobcat]

My mom was hella strict on me

If I made even less than a 90 my ass was getting the chancla

[coral thistle]

I think a tumbleweed went by, maybe that’s for the better

[plain drum]

My mom always worries sick coming home from dealing with today's kids that she has somehow let me down too, and she hasn't

[coral thistle]

Yeah, sounds about right

[left bobcat]

From 1st grade all the way to the day I graduated high school

[lofty tartan]

The hallmark of a good parent. Never feeling good enough

[left bobcat]

Now that I’m in college she told me it’s on me now

I even went to my sisters class one day and some of these kids don’t even know how to read

[lofty tartan]

Parents.

[solid frigate]

Me as an Asian with decent parents

[left bobcat]

When I say my mom is strict she would literally go to my class in the middle of the day and watch me for a bit to make sure I’m paying attention

[coral thistle]

Nope, some people are just lost causes

[lofty tartan]

Our kid was reading before kindergarten. I did as well. It's parents.

Schools cover a lot but they're not solely responsible

[coral thistle]

I dunno, that sounds like a doubled edged sword to me

[solid frigate]

ah just like me befor kindergarten

[left bobcat]

I remember being able to read since the I had to learn how to read

[lofty tartan]

Are you a parent? Not snarky, just asking.

[coral thistle]

Bro’s gonna pull out the “I had African parents”

[left bobcat]

Because having a mom that only speaks Spanish she would hand me all the letters to read them to tell her what it says

[coral thistle]

Nope, not yet, that’s a commitment I’m just not ready for currently

[plain drum]

Locally, it's a mixture of this and something else--teaching at home is often not the kind kids will benefit too much from, and sadly it wastes more people's time than just their own

[left bobcat]

Now tho

The parents just put coco melon on and call it day

[lofty tartan]

Like when you become a parent, you almost become a different person.

[left bobcat]

Or just slap give the kid an iPad and boom they let the iPads do all the raising

[coral thistle]

Can’t think of anything bigger than being a parent, now thats preparation

[solid frigate]

is that Racist- i think thats Racist-

Can we say that in here?

[left bobcat]

Being an older sibling itself does that

[coral thistle]

…I’m not even gonna try

[lofty tartan]

Nah. I'm an older sibling. It's different when it's your child

[solid frigate]

very relatable

[left bobcat]

I remember I had to clean, feed, and take care of my sister while my mom was just laying there and my sisters dad would go to work

[solid frigate]

for the first half

[plain drum]

Unfortunately I understand what they mean from experience, in some households older siblings are in circumstances where they have to step up and practically become a second parent

[left bobcat]

My mom would even wake me up in the middle of the night to take care of my sister (I was in the 4th grade at the time)

[lofty tartan]

Yeah we don't teach we guide and give her the things she needs to succeed. We helped guide her when she was learning to read - she did the rest herself. She turns 8 in a few days and is reading at a middle school level.

[coral thistle]

You would hope so

[left bobcat]

That’s what I do with my sister

I demonstrate and teach her then the rest is on her

[solid frigate]

exactly but i kinda fine about it

During the first few months of me migratin to UK i have to be the second Parent cuz my dad need to clean up the remaining stuff

And man its tiresome

[coral thistle]

Well, pay the respects, for stepping up

[lofty tartan]

I understand that. You just lack a certain psychological trigger that seems to go off in most people once their flesh and blood arrives in the world.

[plain drum]

Right

[lofty tartan]

I was a very different person before that kid

[left bobcat]

I think that’s why my sister is so attached to me

[lofty tartan]

Like I lived like I had nothing to lose. Then I had eight heart attacks a week before finding out I was gonna be a father.

Was a ton of bricks

[left bobcat]

When I came back from boot camp my mom and my aunt told me she took the piplup plush my cousin gave me for my birthday everywhere

[coral thistle]

And here I thought you already sounded like a resoundingly good person…

@lofty tartan might be the goat rn ngl...

[lofty tartan]

Oh no I am not a good person. Just a reasonable one 👀

[solid frigate]

Mika is a parent so yeah

[lofty tartan]

If I convince myself I'm a good person, I have nothing to strive for in that area. Gotta keep rocking the bad guy persona

[left bobcat]

I don’t like to think myself as a good person because really I’m not

[lofty tartan]

I was a very bad person for many many years.

[left bobcat]

It’s like you said I’m just a responsible person

[coral thistle]

Hahaha, sounds like a good sign to me

[plain drum]

I'm not a saint but I try to learn from my mistakes and help others not make the same ones

[lofty tartan]

I was manipulative, among other things. Once I found out I was moderately intelligent, the gloves immediately came off. Bad move on my part

I'm still paying my dues

[coral thistle]

Don’t start that now, i may not know you, but one can clearly tell your mind is in the right place, and that isn’t as easy to come by as you think

[left bobcat]

I’m just glad my sister doesn’t have to live like how I did

[lofty tartan]

I even took a humanitarian field of study for college. I'm big on socio-economic reform 😄

[coral thistle]

Eh, good and bad are cut from the same cloth, it’s your intentions that define who you are.

[plain drum]

[lofty tartan]

Hey man even bad men love their mother's

[left bobcat]

There’s only 2 people who I would fold for

My mom and my aunt

[coral thistle]

I think you can appreciate your own deeds, if even for a little while

[coral thistle]

I would like to find a single person alive who hasn’t been manipulative before

I don’t think that exists

[left bobcat]

Somehow me and my mom had more of friend relationship more than a mother son

Which I’ve heard were not good

[plain drum]

That ended up happening to me and to be honest, it says a lot more about the position she's in than it does mine

Yeaaaah but I manipulated people because I found them stupid, gullible, and impressionable. So I took what I wanted and left the rest. It's a destrucitve way to live.

[left bobcat]

I remember even as a kid she would always tell me about her problems or not even care about my feelings it was always about her

I didn’t even know I had another sister from her side until 2 weeks ago

[plain drum]

Damn

[left bobcat]

And now my sister wants to talk to me but I don’t even know where to start with that convo

[coral thistle]

If it gives you any sanity, I would’ve probably done the same thing, is it shitty? Yes, but nowadays, you just do what you can to survive and gain some peace of mind. I wouldn’t villainise you for it, tell you that much.

[lofty tartan]

I have two half brothers I never met. My bio dad left and made a new family and I saw him once after that before he died 🤷

[left bobcat]

Because we met for the first time but I didn’t even know she was my sister this entire time

[coral thistle]

Hahaha, this is competitive discussion lmao, feels like a group therapy session more like xdddd

[plain drum]

Competitive discussion can go anywhere if there's not anything cooking

[left bobcat]

Eh this always goes way off topic

[plain drum]

But when people start cooking, we give them room

[ember linden]

Tru

[coral thistle]

Nah bro, we’re just discussing the meta game of life

[left bobcat]

But yeah now I’m just thinking what do I even tell her

[coral thistle]

Sounds nice

[lofty tartan]

Also competitive pokemon can be super draining and people spiral a lot. Mental health talk is good for struggling folks 😄

[left bobcat]

Lord knows how she feels that my mom basically gave her up and now she wants ME to fix that problem

[lofty tartan]

Remember you are loved and you matter

[coral thistle]

Having any place where you can talk is a nice touch

[plain drum]

Aye aye

[coral thistle]

Stick it on your fridge xD

[plain drum]

There are some good people in here

[lofty tartan]

It's what we tell our daughter. We have her do self affirmations

We never want her feeling less than she is

[left bobcat]

Daughters hmm-

[coral thistle]

I’m sure you’ll make the right decision 👍

[lofty tartan]

Yeah I'm dreading when she grows up and starts dating. She has a crush on her friend Clayton

[coral thistle]

That’s cute

[summer shore]

Is it gone now

[left bobcat]

I always told myself and my mom that if I wanted kids I wanted a son because I always wanted a little brother

[plain drum]

[lofty tartan]

In five hundred words or less, what does "home by ten" mean to you?

[coral thistle]

NAHHH

[left bobcat]

But now- I’m thinking I prefer to have a daughter

[lofty tartan]

(the right answer is home by 9)

[plain drum]

I was gonna say, I'm getting my ass home earlier than that because my folks would be staying up waiting for me too

[lofty tartan]

Lmfao

[left bobcat]

My son will be just like me😂

[coral thistle]

Ask for more time

[left bobcat]

So definitely a daughter

[coral thistle]

I’d just say I couldn’t call because my battery died lol

[plain drum]

I can't call because my microphone is fucked

I gotta get a pair of earbuds

Like before the 20th because I have a psych appointment then

[left bobcat]

Oh man- 2nd semester starts in 2 days uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[plain drum]

RIP

[cyan smelt]

@summer shore yes

[summer shore]

Coolio

[coral thistle]

Holy, the world is so large

[left bobcat]

This break was so long I almost got used to not going to school

[plain drum]

Hey Shiro

[summer shore]

Hello

[left bobcat]

My sleep schedule has been all over the place I’m so cooked

[coral thistle]

Tell me about it…

Don’t really

[plain drum]

Oh okay

[coral thistle]

Unless….

HAHAHHA

That was funny

[plain drum]

Yeah it was, I'm having a good time in here tonight lmao

[coral thistle]

Honestly, didn’t know what to think of this place at first, but you already all do seem like a good group of people. I’m glad you’ve got your little community around here, it’s nice.

[left bobcat]

It’s crazy, the most relaxing time of a break is towards its end

[plain drum]

We are...a bunch for sure

[left bobcat]

Yeah we sure are a bunch

The only thing that enrages me

Is the horse

[coral thistle]

I’m not one to stick around, insert commitment issues joke here, but for even this short time I’ve spent, I wish you all the best, on whatever you want from life.

[left bobcat]

For every time I faced against Calyrex and I could get a quarter each time I’d be rich

[coral thistle]

On that note, I’m finished, gonna go hit the sack, in a bit.

[plain drum]

[left bobcat]

Nighty night

Don’t let the bed caterpies bite

[coral thistle]

💀

Who let bro cook

[plain drum]

I'm just up finishing the last things I need to do in Galar for my latest SwSh run before moving on to Isle of Armor

[left bobcat]

I’m actually gonna go sleep

So peace ✌️

[lofty tartan]

Got someone stopped at one of my gas pumps who has been there for well over an hour. Very weird.

Cop came in and asked me if I wanted him to check on them.

He's checking now. 👀

Phew. Just someone snoozing in my lot. I'd rather they sleep in my parking lot than drive around dozing off in a death machine for sure

[plain drum]

Oop

Sorry I missed this

[lofty tartan]

Lmao no worries.

I was just hoping he wasn't gonna find anything like someone dead in my parking lot lmao

[plain drum]

Ruh roh

[lofty tartan]

Crazy things like that have happened

[plain drum]

Paperwork time

[lofty tartan]

Thankfully I'm only working for Circle K until the construction season starts. Taking a job installing cement foundation pads for 30/hr

Literally double what I make now

[plain drum]

Ahh gotcha

So you have to come up with something every year then?

[solid frigate]

Ruh Oh Raggy

[lofty tartan]

I'll be starting the job for the first time when season hits. Works about 3/4 of the year

[plain drum]

Oh okay, wasn't sure if you had been doing construction for a while because I knew someone who did and winter was tough on them

[lofty tartan]

Childhood friend runs the business. Inherited it from his dad. We used to be in a few bands together

I've done construction a lot in my life. Depending on the job sometimes it's easier than others to make ends meet in winter

My friend tends to just take that part of the year off. I'll have to ask what he does during that time

[plain drum]

Gotcha

[lofty tartan]

He's been offering it to me for awhile but I've been admittedly standoffish. He was absent for my life for years. When my brother in law, his close friend, died in a car accident, he tried to mend a broken bridge.

We both got really into drugs and went our separate ways late into teenage years.

He was involved with some really bad types from out of state

[plain drum]

Sorry to hear about all that

[lofty tartan]

It's been a few years now but I still miss him. Yeah. Holidays and birthdays just aren't the same. He was incredibly good to my daughter too and that won't be forgotten. He loved her to bits

I basically just refused to let my friend in while I was burdened with anxiety. Just raw about how things happened. It was like I always missed the dude in passing among new people I'd meet. Go into their house and see a picture of him, though I hadn't seen him in years at that point.

He tracked me down and got a message to me through my wife because I don't use Facebook anymore

Weird, sometimes, how life plays out 🤷

[torn parrot]

today is a rough one

[plain drum]

I hug Mika and Maya
