You just don't know anything about steroids to post this.

First, there is no way 4% of males use steroids. That is totally absurd.

Most professional athletes are on steroids yet they are not dropping dead at an early age.

What you really don't understand though is how insane the amount of substances a professional bodybuilder takes compared to some average guy at the gym. It is the difference between someone who has a glass of wine with their dinner and a raging alcoholic. That probably is not extreme enough actually.

So much of this board is people talking out their ass.

I think people are completely delusional when it comes to driving a truck.

I always found the idea intriguing for some reason since I was a kid.

The problem is you have to drive an 80,000 pound death machine in all manners of congestion and bad weather.

If you look on a trucker forum you will see that people basically say you are going to be shitting your pants for the first year or two from the crazy situations you find yourself in.

It is super easy to say these things when you work in an office/remote and will never have to actually be in these situations.

This comment makes no sense.

I can't put out an album of my shitty music and market it as a new Michael Jackson album.

Putting "AI" in front of "Michael" doesn't change anything.

I think the apartment writing is symptomatic of the extreme, highly educated, San Francisco bubble many live in.

The people I know in real estate are not reading Hemingway on the weekend and appreciate fine writing. They are blue collar guys with good business sense and good at fixing housing.

The writing style of the tenant matters to them zero.

"You can write a proper restaurant review for Benu or Birdsong along with writing a good inquiry into getting that apartment in Presidio Heights you always wanted"

It is always telling when they can't even come up with good example uses from the entire space of possible uses

"leave a well-written review for a restaurant, craft a friendly RSVP for a party, or make a formal inquiry about an apartment rental.”

That is what the world needs. More restaurant reviews.

I just watched American Movie for the first time a few weeks ago. It is just so endearing man.

Hell, I might watch it again today.

I have watched the Fog of War so many times.

It is just hard for me to rate the King of Kong or American Movie against the Fog of War though. Those are my top 3.

I will have to give the The Act of Killing a go.

Totally agree. Plaid always delivers.

Forest Swords is the artist that comes to my mind for newer stuff besides the old Warp artists although I wouldn't call that IDM at all. I am not even sure what I would call Forest Swords.

I might even put Forest Swords up there with all the old Warp artists but its like he came to play the chill out room at 8am and everyone had already left the party.

Yea because I single person is just like Citadel.

Your post is completely ridiculous.

My deceased grandfather was born almost a 100 years ago and he started smoking cigarettes when he was 12. I quit smoking awhile ago but I had conversations with him about this while both of us smoked cigarettes when he was alive.

He had no trouble as a kid getting cigarettes. Even more there was no social stigma around a 12 year old smoking when he was 12. "Kids these days..." was the attitude by the adults. You know, exactly like the dumb adults who see some teenager hopelessly addicted to these technologies and just think "kids these days.."

It is just a complete failure by adults and a good example of how all we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history.

I am also in this age bracket and totally agree.

Sorry to tell you kids, age is not like race or sex.

There is a huge difference between what you are getting if you hire me now vs when I was 25. It is two completely different people.

At 25, I wouldn't have even asked how high. I would have just repeatedly jumped as high as I could.

Now, if I don't feel like jumping and you push me to jump I will just quit because I can.

Not to mention, if you learn new things as quickly at 55 as you did at 25 you are lucky because I surely do not.

If you are young and can't understand this perspective, don't worry. You will someday.

This is the problem for sure.

I hate social media and I am someone who this site is directed at. What I like about HN is the interaction but no "followers". Of course, people want their thoughts to not be disliked but it is not a childish, high school popularity contest that if you get popular enough, you get paid for being popular.

A network without nodes and edges isn't a network.

Myspace also didn't brand itself as "super internet forum" or something like that. If you really do something different to interest people who hate social media, it will need to have no resemblance to social media.
