I am the sigma of sigmas. I am a juggler, I have a sex cult, and I can do both or either one or neither at will.

Btw, cold showers are apparently a myth last I heard. Take comfy showers, folks, you’re okay.
I like them scalding.
I crank it up as hot as it will go. My skin is fucked but at least I get to be warm for a while.
I need luke warm to cold showers T_T else my skin actually will fall off and I will die from boiled body
Yeaaaaaa … I try to do that but if I feel a single cold drop my body is just reflexively like " fuck that" and turning the valve before I even know what’s happening.
Sounds very painful. Unless you have shit temperature as your hot.
The fire within burns hotter than the water without. If I ain’t a red and pruny then it was wholly insufficient.
It’s just short of painful if I work up to it but I’ve built up a tolerance to it.
Sounds like coffee or beer. It’s actually disgusting but “you just gotta LEARN TO LIKE IT”. 🙃
It’s better than the alternative of experiencing even a moment of cold
I think you’re overreacting to the cold but that’s just me. Just gotta breathe through it a few seconds, then your body gets used to it. You shouldn’t need hotter water than skin temp lol. I usually go a little warmer than that though.
For sure, but it’s not something I can power through. I think there’s something wrong with my body’s ability to regulate my temperature. If I get cold even if it’s just a little bit then I can’t warm up for hours and I’m miserable. If I make the shower as hot as can be then I can dry off before I cool down below room temp and not end up chilled.
I heard its better for your hair if you wash it warm and rinse with cold water.
Just like doing the dishes then I guess.
What do you mean myth? They definitely wake you up.
Or has some other benefit been attributed to them?
There are some claimed benefits of cold showers that don’t really hold up, as far as I understood. Like for muscle growth after a workout for example. And for waking you up, any shower will do that to you. Even a splash of water in your face. 👍
It’s a myth because hot shower wakes you up just as good. Just today I blasted myself with hot shower after rough sleep and I got that “wow” feeling in how quickly I seemingly opened my eyes and felt fine
Idk, too enjoyable for me. I need it to be uncomfortable to get the waking up effect. But then I like and can afford slow mornings so I don’t actually need to wake up quickly.
Hot isn’t really comfortable. You gotta constantly move around/rotate otherwise it feels like you’re burning
Warm showers work well at night because the heat evaporates quick, which cools your body down faster, helping to set your body up for sleep
They bring you to sing, regardless the talent.
I always love when their “job” is somehow just sitting on their phone. I guess you might say scrolling through TikTok could be considered market research.
He does… business. It’s on his card. He’s the VP of a Mergers and Aquisitions business. So you know he’s businessing. /j
More seriously, for those who didn’t see it or don’t wanna - all we really know is on his card. He works at Pierce and Pierce which deals with mergers and acqusitions. How specifically is unclear - possibly in writing up the legal documents, possibly in just facilitating the meetings.
The real funny part of the cards, though, is that everyone comparing cards is the VP of the company. What that job entails is vague, and the fact that there’s at least 4 people who are all the vice president ambiguates it even further.
I thought he was in murders and executions?
That’s why we call those people executives.
Half the joke of that movie was how it’s a total mystery what his job is
Which movie?
Thanks!
I think that joke continues with Office Space and The Office, doesn’t it? Always vague comments about paperwork, but no actual direction.
They sold paper at Dunder-Mifflin? It was pretty clear
The premise of Office Space was that they were correcting the Y2K bug. And this description of a small, over-managed, haphazardly administered IT company is a very sincere reflection of how the industry functioned in the 90s. The punchline at the end - where you’ve got Ron Livingston shoveling asphalt with zen satisfaction while Diedrich Bader shakes his head in disgust - really does sum up the Dumb Guy attitude towards bullshit-but-ultimately-pretty-cushy office work of the era. But I wouldn’t say they were doing nothing.
The Office was a reflection of dying backwards industry - in this case, the paper industry in Midwest Pennsylvania - that attract a certain assemblage of idiots and assholes and failkids in its waning days. This was more a story of a historically productive industry dying out.
American Psycho is much more about the Wall Street peak of power and the sadomasochistic personalities that populate it. I think its more comparable to Fight Club, in so far as it’s a story of someone driven insane by the higher end business world and left to discover how thin the veneer is between civilization and barbarity.
They were pretty clear with the job for Office Space, they worked for a bank/financial institution and had to update the software for Y2K so the years could accommodate 4 digits. That’s why they were able to take push an exploit that allowed them to keep the rounded penny in a transition for their scheme, which may or may not have been inspired by Superman III.
They worked for a software company that made banking software. But yeah, he had 7 different bosses that would complain about the same thing. What we never found out was if he was dotted-line to multiple depts, or if the bureaucracy was so heavy that the structure was something like Team Leader > Manager > Director > Asst VP > VP > Division VP…and these people all come to him to point something out.
murders and executions
His job is to return some video tapes!
And feeding stray cats to ATMs
“Forgot” yeah…
high-protein breakfast
Pretty unhealthy for a breakfast. Is he constantly on a workout? Better go with a muesli or high-fibers.
Biscuits and gravy always makes me most productive out of the breakfasts I’ve tried. Nutrition wise… Not so great, but I also don’t need to eat again until dinner time so I guess it’s fine. I rarely have time to make it too.
How is that unhealthy? Are you talking like straight bacon and sausage glazed with uncooked egg yolk?
Protein has also a high energy density, although less than fat. No matter how the body metabolizes it; if you don’t poop it undigested out or work it off, you will carry it around.
Skyr with blueberries and a sprinkling of flax seed is a winning high protein breakfast. Add some granola if you want to be naughty.
Well… Skyr is a jogurt, yes? A long-lasting high-calories food for storage, made from the high-calories food for a baby, no? Basically cheese minus (and i do like cheese and Skyr).
I mean, sure, there is worse you could eat for breakfast. But i do think the balance is off.
