im sure working there is horrible and it is a horrible dystopian company, but i still want to use it, tho tbh a lot less since i moved back to ny from vt

The Awl also has some good articles on the media. Look up Content Wars or w/e.

OK, night.

one thing I feel pretty good about in my life is not having bought anything off amazon in a few years

also I quit facebook and don't own a tv

The Watch will have more compelling use cases later on. Right now it doesn’t have enough sensors to give us a more comprehensive overview of our health situation.

literally the majority of americans are currently eating themselves to death, i assure you there is not a big market for health tracking, im prob in the top 5% (braggin) of healthy living americans and i dont even want to track my health! like you need to a. be interested in health and b. interested in tracking things, that precludes the vast majority of people

as I've mentioned before I'm interested in the Watch b/c I want a watch

its prob not a very good watch!

i track my health by being mad at myself that i did less pushups today than yesterday

it has swappable watch faces!

same, u shdnt do pullups every day tho, remember recovery is just as important as yr workout, maybe even more, recovery is the point of yr workout in fact

this is def an exaggeration tho

i want to start doing pullups actually, just haven't gotten started. my entire workout routine is "try to walk more" and basically doing crunches and pushups in sets of 30 until i am like "i definitely need to stop doing this"

i thought u were lifting

dude i weigh like 125 lbs what am i even going to lift, a tiny rock?

lift whatever u can man its good!

oh i do some 10lb dumbbell curls while watching basketball sometimes

between hilarious posts on ilxor.com

I sometimes lift my cat up and tell him he's a baby

lol

u shd to thrusters instead of curls imho good compound full body lift

i will try to remember to youtube "thrusters" during the next episode of inside the nba

my personal trainer is the john gruber thread

good choice now u just need APPLEwatch and u will be totes ripped

alternating sets of thrusters and burpees then u cn be on the crossfit games

oh man i learned about burpees a few weeks ago and that shit is rough

particularly because one of my legs is kinda crappy, all that quick standing wears me down pretty quick

yeah i dont really f w them tbh i fell like they are just really hard to coordinate and hurt yr toes, especially if u do them to exhaustion like those lunatics

yeah i don't wanna be crazy i just wanna kick men's asses

theres an ecersize thats supposedly for surfers thats just the popping up part except you land in like a surfing stance its suposed to mimick getting up on ur board which is nice for ur core that ive done before and is more mellow

mostly if do differ core stuff tho: planks, boat pose etc

burpees basically gave me vertigo and made me dizzy and i was like hm no

theyre maybe good if u get used to them idk tho i suspect like all shit crossfit is into theyre mostly designed to injure u

i just found the guy who told me i was a pussy for not doing burpees and i kicked his ass good

my ex-gf's brother and his wife were crossfit people and i literally could not communicate with them

lmao yeah its bad

im sure it makes u like very ripped which is cool

i feel like the john gruber thread has gone in the right direction tonight, you're welcome everyone

namaste

yeah no this is a good thread r.n., it's not like there's an #ilx irc channel somewhere right? (If there is why am I not on it)

they would come into town to go to crossfit retreats held at oregon vineyards bc not only were they crossfit assholes, they were wine assholes. prob in the Watch demo.

ilx irc is ned's twitter

ha wow xp

is wine paleo tho

wine aged in new rock barrels

i bought him a glass of whiskey one time at karaoke and he looked at me like i was trying to hurt him

its not just a feed of celebrity deaths

i should say that you were one of my inspirations in trying to not be a disgusting slob, goon. you made it seem a meditative and fun discipline rather than just a painful thing people should try to do.

wow awesome!

it makes u feel so good i love it its the only thing i have any discipline with lol

it's great! like i've really started looking forward to my reps and i have so much energy and feel really good and have a noticeably improved attitude. endorphins man. xp
