    1. When did you realize you were different?

      We all have something that makes us stand out. Sometimes it’s seen by others as a good thing; sometimes it’s not. Sometimes we love it ourselves; sometimes we don’t. Tell me the story of when you...

      We all have something that makes us stand out. Sometimes it’s seen by others as a good thing; sometimes it’s not. Sometimes we love it ourselves; sometimes we don’t.

      Tell me the story of when you discovered a meaningful difference about yourself.

      (Any difference works here: major stuff, minor stuff, identities, abilities, preferences, etc.)

      Also, I hope it should go without saying, but please make the comments an inclusive and supportive space.

      The server operates on a soft whitelist. Anyone can log in and walk around, but you need a Tildes account to gain build access.

      A lot of builds have been completed since the last thread. What have you all been up to?

      Edit: If you would like to, you can help pay for the server costs on Patreon. So far I've been paying for it myself.

    4. Do you believe the world is controlled by competing interests, or do you think there is a "power elite" that controls the world from the background?

      There are lots of localized ideas about who runs the world, like oligarchs in Russia or billionaires in America or Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, but if there was anyone coordinating the...

      There are lots of localized ideas about who runs the world, like oligarchs in Russia or billionaires in America or Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, but if there was anyone coordinating the activities of these disparate groups I would think it would be someone doing things without a public presence, so as not to draw a target on their back.

      I've seen this idea alluded to a lot, but never really fleshed out before.

      I lift regularly and I think I have good numbers. For information:

      • age: 37
      • Height: 178cm
      • Weight: 72kg now
      • Bench: 7 reps wkth 71kg
      • Squat: 8 reps with 79kg (i recently recovered from a knee injury)
      • Pull up: 1 rep with 35kg attached to a weight belt
      • Kneeling ab-wheel rollot: I can do a straight set of 30 reps, followed by another of 25 and then more 20. Am working om doing it standing, but it's hard.

      My SO decided to go on a diet and I joined her to help. My goal is to have a six pack abs for the first time in my life.

      I don't even plan to maintain it all around. I just want to reach this milestone for a day or two and call it a day. After that I'll maintain weight for a month or two then start bulking. I am counting calories and macros.

      I know it is a bullshit goal, but why not.

      Anyway, I dropped from 77kg to 72kg and reached a point where she pointed out that my cheeks are sucked in. And I agree, my face is skinny right now.

      I feel like I'm close, but I don't really know. Here are some pics I took this morning when flexing for reference: (1) (2)

      My unflexed belly is not much bigger than this tho. I don't have fat hanging anymore.
