My mother worked for a recovery place, over time she noticed that most people in AA tell the exact same story each time, and they get antsy and have nervous sweats when they can’t make it to a meeting. They replace one addiction for another, but at least the addiction to AA is less destructive. This is kinda the same…

Honest answer? I dont work out often. When I do, inflated sense of ego. I hold myself at higher attention and arms are definitely out

Is he drinking black iced coffee? That would taste terrible blegh :-(   

I worked with an amateur body builder years ago, he called that “phantom lat syndrome.”

My MIL is a social worker and I remember her telling me that a lot of former addicts get really into fitness because it gives them something to focus their energy on, essentially.

You make the jokes, but honestly if our Doctors provided HGH to all addicts we could totally find a new really good Batman.

“Is it keto? Is it arm day only? Is it shoulders day? Obliques? Lats? Traps?”

He should see a doctor immediately, he's obviously suffering from a neurological problem that prevents him from resting his arms at his sides.

A lot of women do way too much emotional labor (and actual labor) for their significant others, out of fear of losing them. And when we have kids, we overwork…

The Ghosting Darkness.

I stayed home today because I had food poisoning that had me up late last night vomiting and woke me for more quality time with the toilet this morning. I messaged my supervisor right away, but still had a panic attack that my colleagues will resent me and I will destroy position at work (especially since a week ago I…

Not a big fan but he was good in Sixteen Candles.

I've seen that a thousand times, it's never not funny to me. I seriously watched it over and over for like twenty minutes the first time I saw it.

I have never seen this dude in motion before but now that I see it, and hear it, yeah... I get it. Plus, besides the big dick energy, there’s something about how he moves his mouth that seems vaguely indicative of, well, mouth-related talent.

Dear God, I never ask for anything. So please, please keep me away from any dude who might say “thank you for doing this” when I fuck him. Amen.
