does relying on anaerobic energy using creatine cause lactic acidosis?
No, though thinking back I’m finding it hard to remember one time under it that I did fiercely rapid movement that would leave some lactic soreness under normal conditions, I might be unconsciously shifting my energy use to new constraints or something
To the extent my torso outside the stomach still feels soft with fat it now feels like muscular fat. Not like, fat over muscle, but the two aren’t distinguishable by touch anymore
Enough other people have focused on the art. It’s good! I’m more a plot guy. It’s good!
I have a post that goes about how one of the big 90s things was having built up enough history in some genres or universes that the audience was familiar with to get real meta with it and this was very much in that tradition, with the plot tension being a literalization of “how far can Miles Morales (and "Spider-Gwen”) vary from the Peter Parker formula and still be a Spider-Man?“
Given that you’d be forgiven for asking if Ben Reilly is in the movie. Not only is he, he’s a recurring ‘90s comics punchline. And a blizzard of other variations that will reward anyone getting the reference with absolutely no loss to newbies.
The villain, "The Spot” is great, pitched as a Condiment King-level loser that internal-logically becomes an epic pandimensional threat, and his chaotic reality-tunneling powerset makes for great cartoon action on screen. His retroactive 1st movie origin is clever but as his motivation feels like hanging one too many meta- themes on the material.
Does make you realize that another Spider-villain that could only be done justice in this format is Carnage.
The new B-tier Spider-Men are fun (the tier list goes to E) but not quite as much as the first set, though they’re teased as returning for the third, and Spider-Punk pulls more weight visually and as plot device.
One complaint is there’s just much in the falling action after the film’s clearly done with major stakes as it not just sets up a sequel but hands off with a “to be continued…” Each major character’s emotional arc has to be paid off but not resolved and twisted to set the stage for the continuation, and then each character needs to be mechanically moved on, but then they need to meet up and reconnect the plots there, and receive further plot twists, and then set up cliffhangers…
Alright, got a ticket for Spider-Verse at the weird strip mall down the street that’s apparently really a bunch of small luxury theaters, with couches and seat-service dining? I kinda have the sense it started as some immigrant community thing to make foreign movies with small audiences viable to show, cause I can’t imagine what native-born American would think to theme the
Yeah I’m in the “Paris” one and from LA experience it comes off like a particularly Persian or Armenian take on “Paris”
Started off Holes, little weird the “also by Louis Sachar” bits don’t even mention the Wayside School books, but they rounded up enough other material to promo anyway.
So far you can kind of see how he’s deploying the same skill/style, rendering Camp Green Lake as kind of fantastically absurd until you go line by line and go “actually yeah, it is in fact feasible that a real state of Texas juvenile prison camp and one inmate’s encounter with it would in fact be exactly that way”.
Just got to the introduction of “Mr. Sir”, and it’s impressive how he does build him up in line with the standard stereotype of the cowboy-hat Texas jailer but then immediately humanizes him with the smoking-replacement sunflower seeds just enough that it doesn’t even soften him so much as rein him in from going overboard – that this guy may be kind of a hardass as you would expect the position selects for but he’s not really that as a mythological figure – even after it was kind of building up the epicness of it all, drawing on ambient cultural prison mythology. He is a jailer but not The Jailer, he’s a public employee who presumably goes home and has to pick a roofer to redo his shingles.
Jesus, just realized some tapping I’ve been hearing out the window is not in fact insulators on the new power lines knocking together in the wind like I thought but the homeless guy in a tarp-shack on the sidewalk rhythmically banging something.
Well, I guess it helps keep the block to himself, that would be maddening to live next to
Oh, huh, without noticing it everything in the kitchen’s fine now except two “work stations” worth of counter space and the floor, I think by now I’ll need to go and give the other rooms another pass before I call the house put away though. And I half-did the garage in passing last week, but I need to finish there.
Inside the new personality is two wolves. One is constantly posting about being pleasantly surprised at all the work he did without ever intending to, one is constantly posting about all the work he’s very intentionally doing.
Seriously, this is great. Ask your doctor if Xanax is right for you or something.

The chest growing (remember, I’m still testosterone gaining muscle mass from once-trivial activity as if I’m on steroids) was taking up slack from the stomach shrinking for a while, but finally at the point where I can throw out some shirts I mostly only had for if I wanted something loose, now that other ones can fill that role

Hey anyone who’s making AI porn, how do the models parse different synonyms of “pussy”? Like, how are results different if you prompt it for “quim” vs. “cunt”?
Got new pillow shams and they make the experience of the pillow like 50% better from inside the pillowcase, I have no idea how, but one more triumph for basic home goods shopping by following top-of-category recommendations at Amazon.
They deal with moisture such that both the pillow itself stays fluffier and the silk pillowcase stays drier and smoother?

So one of my main metrics for the last few months is “how far below my nipples would you be able to cut off my torso such that everything above looked perfectly fit?” and it’s at like 5 inches now
You still occasionally see Internet Tough Guys threatening to show up at my door and I’m like you show up to my door and you either start off appreciably below me or teetering on an edge it’s really easy to push you back from, it’s hard to be too intimidating then
And I KNOW the obvious move is to start off down but barge in when I open the door.
