  • It happens when your girlfriend is extremely unstable by default, even more so after a fight, comes to your parents house drunk in the middle of the night and essentially shames you for trying to reject her advances while simultaneously being physical about it by forcing you down and assuming you’re playing some mind game while you try your best to avoid waking your parents in the next room and making a scene cause she’s being loud and borderline belligerent. The sheer embarassment is enough for personal boundaries to get absolutely stomped on in that situation.

    Life is living among infinite shades of grey. Every situation has nuance that you might not have thought of.











  • Bass is the low pitched sound content of what you’re listening to. Treble is the high pitched content. Literally if its something that sounds high pitched to you, that’s treble. Anything in between the low pitched and high pitched content is called ‘midrange’.

    A bass drum goes “boom”. A bass guitar goes “bump, bump, bump”. Those all sound like low pitched descriptions, right? A cymbal goes “crashhhhhhhhh” and a wind chime goes “twinkle, twinkle”. Both high pitched sounds. When you adjust bass or treble, you’re adjusting how loud the elements in those ranges of the audio spectrum are in the overall mix of the sounds you’re hearing in your music/media.

    If the “crashhhhhhhh” is too loud and hurts your ears, turn the treble down. Similarly if the “boom” is overwhelming, turn the bass down. Just adjust them to your tastes and that’s all you need to know.

  • Slippers never go outside. If they do its for but a few seconds to avoid picking up a ton of dirt.

    What people seem to miss when thinking about how dirty their shoes are are the chemical residues from vehicles. Exhaust pipes drip contaminated water, oil drips from cars, brake dust accumulates in those wet and oily spots on the road, etc… Every time you cross the street or walk in dense public areas your shoes pick that stuff up. If you walk around your house with those same shoes, you invite toxic residues into your living space. The effect might be negligible but the thought makes me wanna gag.



  • Are you able to walk? Incline walking on a treadmill burns calories very fast. All you gotta do is set the treadmill to max incline (or less, set it where you like, but the more incline the better) and just walk for a half hour or so a few times per week. The more you walk the faster you burn the fat. Sometimes when I run, I wonder why when I can burn the same amount of calories incline walking.

    If you do choose to try incline walking, avoid holding the handles or the top of the panel on the treadmill. I see many people doing this. It effectively negates the incline. The whole point of incline walking is carrying your body weight up a hill. Holding a static surface and leaning back reduces the load.

    Just walk as much as you feel comfortable with. You’ll notice it gets easier very quickly. Its also quite enjoyable to watch videos or listen to a podcast to pass the time.
