LCL is better than ACL though.

100%. ACL is something I'd probably get cut for. I was really fortunate to not have to with my particular tear.

Women tell me they were scared and nervous to talk to me because I was so good looking. One girl I just met told me in front of her date out loud that she would like to do me right now and I know he heard it. It’s one of the reasons I have such high standards. Yall think 6s are 10s. One helpful tip: Confidence is key the uglier you are.

Honestly, if a man is remotely in shape and has decent grooming practices, he's going to look better than 80% of the guys walking around in everyday life. Most dudes are fat and sloppy tbh.


Now, as for all the guys in this thread presenting the casanova type front, most males who are actually attractive and desirable human beings don't have to spend time on a message board telling people how awesome they are.

lol do you know what racist means?

There was a time it was a clear definition but that term has been used in such a manner that there truly are a wide range of ways it can be interpreted tbh. If someone is going to claim that a person or institution is racist, imo, it would be incumbent upon the one making the claim to define their terms.

They EXACTLY are redistricting to get rid of black representation in Congress. That’s their plan because they are afraid of what’s to come in November.

That's 100% right and straight out of my therapists mouth.

Yep. It jacked me up for years but I basically got to a place where I assumed that if a behavior is intended to lessen my anxiety, good shot it's a compulsion of some kind and thus don't do it. The truth is, no matter how many times I googled, it never made me feel better for more than a brief time and it only made it comes back even worse later.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about getting diagnosed with ocd. In learning more about it it's manifesting currently in the form of moral scrupulosity. Anybody deal with this directly or indirectly? It's been a struggle for several days to not let it blow up my life.

Listen, I'm going to post something that will seem heartless and cruel to those who don't battle OCD but it's truly not. Stop asking for reassurance. Stop googling. Stop seeking to lessen the anxiety by finding reinforcement that you aren't the things your thoughts center on. Stop going to the internet. It only serves to reinforce that your thoughts have meaning and must be addressed which only strengthens the anxiety cycle and makes them stickier. The subject of your thoughts are irrelevent and even if you could "neutralize" them, the subject matter will just shift to something else. The only way out is through brother and I know that's incredibly terrifying but it's the truth. It took me a long time and I don't take any medication for it but the diet and exercise stuff coupled with radical acceptance that my thoughts are just thoughts and don't need to be addressed has helped me a ton.

Unfortunately, because humans exist.

It took Dallas 6 games, which was really seven games with the 2OT & OT games, to score 15 goals on Wallstedt. Colorado scored 9 in game 1. I'm a Dallas fan too and it just sucks how far away we seem from winning a cup.

We've been lied to for generations.

We've been told to get a job with a good salary, benefits, and a 401k, so we did. Those of us who haven't done so yet are breaking our own mental stability trying to do so.

We've been told to climb the ladder, so we did. Those of us who haven't done this yet are busting our arse working harder and maybe even longer hours to do so. At the expense of our mental stability.

We've been told that it's normal to ask for permission to spend time with our kids, so that's what we do. Then we start calculating when we'll have that allotted time accrued back to do so again. Next year or months later.

We've been led to believe that taking some time for ourselves is called "recharging" so we can get back to the grind "with a fresh mind and/or clear vision" soon after.

We've been promised that a 9-6 or 8-5 or 8-4 is normal, and we're believing it.

I'm not saying that working in the modern world is perfect but I do chew on the idea that for pretty much all of human existence outside of the last century or two, humans have worked every day as much as possible. If they weren't building shelter, they were hunting food. If they had food, they needed to find water. If they had food and water, they were cutting wood for fire. If they weren't doing that, they were fighting rival tribes. If not busy with those things, they were doing something else. No days off. No air conditioning. No vacation. Work every single day to survive.

Is it utopia living in the modern world, no. But we do live in the richest and most comfortable period in human history.
