Had a buff friend (but not even close to that) that had to reach for his seatbelt with his right hand because his biceps didn't give him enough flexibility to reach for it above his shoulder with his left hand and sometimes he would need to pull on his right arm with his left hand to give himself enough reach...

It gets pretty ridiculous at some point...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, I am not buff at all and have hypermobility so I can put my arms in positions most people can't and I still use the other hand, so if I am driving the right and if a front passenger than the left, not sure by your description if that's what you meant

Is that not how most people buckle their seat belts?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can reach over my shoulder or behind me with my left arm...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'm not saying it's not possible just much less effort to use your right hand over your chest. At least for me anyway idk I'm 6'3" and drive a smaller car so that might be why.

You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (6 children)

That's true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.

I've been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn't gonna pay for unemployment.

Massive turnover and being toxic should be a good cause?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Being toxic" is hard to define in an employee handbook.

"We don't like you" isn't not considered good cause for termination. It's 100% legal to fire someone for that, but they get to claim unemployment.

Nothing wrong with loving animals and crying over their suffering.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

And in fact, if someone doesn’t care about the suffering of animals, I want nothing to do with them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And he wouldn't even fit into that dumpster to help the poor animal. =(

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bro is juiced enough to just turn it upside down and shake it all out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's what this racoon could've being doing if it was him.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mad science idea: What would buff raccoons do?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (8 children)

The internet: Body shaming isn't right

This thread: Yeah this guy's a freak and I would never want to look like that.

Good job guys

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Yep. I've been utterly disgusted by so many people in this thread and kinda regret ever posting this. At least I found a whole lot of people I can tag as being problematic as shit to keep an eye on. I don't know how anyone in their right mind believes that it is okay to mock someone based off of the way they look. I kinda do it off of actions. Doing it off of looks is just childish horseshit and I expected better of people here. They should feel incredibly fucking ashamed of themselves.

All these pathetic redditors who left the site but not the mentality.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.

This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

You shouldn’t make fun of those people either…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So... if someone can't help how they look then you shouldn't shame or mock them but if you choose to look a particular way then get fucked? That is a truly fucked up moral to try and proclaim. That it is totally acceptable to mock someone for their looks as long as they've chosen to look that way.

What a shitty, fucked up and miserable little world you must live in. Why don't you show us what you look like? I'm curious what decisions you've made. I mean... fair is fair. Right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yep.

It's funny how you're acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

The difference between you and I is that I don't lie to myself. It's a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

Maybe one day you can join me but you'll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (11 children)

You're really going ofter him for being intolerant of your intolerance? Grow up child

It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

Well yes. Because Im judging the world you live in, not you. I'm saying that if you go around doing this, you're going to see nothing but misery and contempt everywhere you go. You on the other hand are openly mocking a person. There is a difference between these two. Should I get the crayons to help out on that explanation? And if you want to whine that I'm not being nice to you, you broke the social contract and decided that it's okay to mock people to make the world better. I'm just using your rules.

The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself.

It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

Ahhhh, my mistake. Sorry. I didn't realize that attacking people for how they look actually makes the world less shitty. Makes total sense.

Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

Brother, you are openly judging someones appearance and saying you're allowed to mock them but saying I'm the gatekeeper?

Good luck with that.

By the way, I'm still waiting for you to post what you look like.

I mean you're saying that we get to mock people based off of appearance to make the world better. Show yourself. Let us see what you look like. Never know. Maybe the world needs to be made better?

Judging peoples choices regarding their own body that has nothing to do with anyone else makes the world less shitty.

Got it. Thank you.

No comment except: same

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know why anyone would ever want to look like that. It's some body-horror shit. Deep insecurity there.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

People might look at me and think why would anybody like to play so much Factorio. Or why does this guy keep going rock climbing when he’s already torn a tendon.

People do things that they like to do regardless of what anybody else thinks or without some ulterior motive for it.

Sure some people might have body issues and this is the result, but for the vast majority of people they’re doing what they enjoy and doing it for themselves.

I worked at Apple and one thing that always stuck with me was their approach to Positive Intent, we assume that people are being honest and the best selves and so we assume that of people until proven otherwise. Someone cuts me up in traffic, oh well perhaps they’re in labour and heading to the A&E.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm sorry to feed your addiction, but if you enjoy Factorio, give Dyson Sphere Program a shot. Again I apologize for any hours lost in advance.

I completely agree with your comment; the idea that a total stranger would assume you play so much Factorio specifically based on just your looks is very funny to me. I imagine an individual just plastered in Factorio paraphernalia.

I think that's a common thing in that community. A lot of them are pretty open and humble about it. I was surprised nobody on the left realized how close transgender community and the body building community actually are. They both share body dysmorphia and both use hormone replacement therapy to feel like themselves. I was really hoping to see one community stick up for the other but instead the right co-opted gym culture and people on the left alienated yet another community by attacking that culture at the same time the right co-opted them.

At the end of the day guys like this have put in a tremendous amount of work and that's what makes them happy. That's an incredible amount of work and effort. It's not about pleasing you or anyone else. They do it for themselves. They try to always expand what the human body is capable of doing and it's one of the most encouraging communities for new people to join. That's because you join you just need to show up and do the work

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

This is the most interesting response I've read. Cheers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

That looks restricting

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is he able to move his arms or are they too big to like move around and stuff. Idk what I'm trying to say. It just looks like it's hard to even hold his phone properly lol

[–] Big_Boss_77 4 points 1 month ago

Range of motion is probably noticeably reduced.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

stay strong bro

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

This isn't a shitpost, it's a little touching and breaks down stereotypes. Well done OP

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I mean it’s in the dumpster already so at least you didn’t have to do anything. Maybe say a prayer?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I rescued baby raccoons from a dumpster once.
