Without artificial enhancements such as HGH and anabolic steroids, it takes 5-7 years of working out quite hard to get close to a Marvel superhero level body.

Probably a bit less if you’re younger. So I see why more people don’t do it. It takes continual, focused effort and eating well enough to get it done — all the while, people will tell you it’s “impossible.”

Luckily, I’ve made doing the impossible and laughing at the haters and losers my whole thing.

Glad we optimized our lives for low monthly cash burn while still living pretty luxuriously. And that was before all this shit started. Doing the smart thing before it’s needed is where it’s at. (And I am sure to many idiot leftists, that also counts as bullying.)

Even with eating out and all that, our required monthly outlay is only about $2,000, including the insanely high California property taxes.

Not bad. Not bad at all. We can earn that working at a convenience store if needed. Or I could return to daytrading again; pretty sure I can make $2k in a few hours most months.

One of the great parts of having basically no capability for being embarrassed is when someone does attempt to embarrass you, it backfires horribly. At least for them.

It means I also have no stage fright, performance anxiety, or anything like that. To me a talk in front of two people is the same as one in front of two million. I just don’t care.

Write On

Whatโ€™s a sentence a girl told you that is still stuck in your head to this day?

When my partner said to me about some complexy-propounded post on philosophy I’d written that, “A wizard uses precisely the word he means to.”

I couldn’t give less of a crap about what some random mook thinks about my writing. I care deeply, though, about her opinion; she’s my audience when I write anything on this blog. I already know I’m a good writer. It is a different thing altogether when someone you respect enormously and hold in the highest regard calls you a “wizard.”

That means something.

Disagreed

Indeed. I have no idea what my testosterone levels are nor do I care, but I certainly am extremely disagreeable, do not really give a fuck what anyone else wants me to do, and I am often hand-picked for leadership roles.

I was a manager by the time I was 24. If I were agreeable, I’m quite certain that would not occur.
