Do we know what the nerfs actually are?

Just messaging so I can remember to save comments in the future

Try to start with the corners and work in from there!

In the context of speed cubing, to be honest it’s more like a roguelike videogame at this point than anything. If you think of the scramble as a new map, you basically use your game knowledge to put the cube in a known state that you can then progress quickly with known algorithms.

Even the most procedural way of solving the cube, the beginner’s method, has a ton of points where you need to carefully observe the cube and make some intuitive adjustments. And then as you progress into different methods the “game” really opens up to you.

There was a great video a few years ago, This one right here, where they gave 5 cubers of differing skill levels the exact same scramble and had them solve it and talk through their process. Each took a totally different path based on their knowledge of cubing strategy

But yeah you don’t need to be a genius or anything to start “playing” the “game”.

Actually solving the actual puzzle with no guide would be a totally different beast. They sell 2x2 cubes actually, which I would recommend to anyone wanting to go in blind. They’re surprisingly devious, and from my experience beginners actually get hooked right away vs with the 3x3 cubes where they give up after like ten seconds lol

Could it have been a good thing? Could dumping a bunch of trash all over my screen have ever helped me in any way?

That’s not just a realization; it’s a powerful insight!

I really like sugar scrubs! Watermelon is my favorite. I do it before epilating to exfoliate but also just in general I like using them, makes the skin feel very soft.

How is the one blade? Do you use it on your legs? I’ve been looking for something to hurry that process along haha

Yeah same story for me every nintendo console. I’m like ahhh maybe I’ll skip this one. Then I blink and they’ve put out like a dozen masterpieces and I’m like ahhh they got me again

Well, the truth itself has a communicability problem whensoever it doesn’t amount to a very simple message.

Why have things seemed to be getting worse for you despite you working hard and doing everything you were told you were supposed to do?

It takes about half a second to say “flavor of the year minority group is attacking your freedoms!”.

Now if you actually care about the truth? Is there something as simple to present?

Yes

We’re all just feeling very upbeat and supportive lately

At least we hope he won’t be

Ha, yeah I actually also haven’t purchased legendary edition, for that exact same reason. But it seems we are in the minority in boycotting EA play, so I usually don’t let it stop me from recommending this particular series.

For disclosure, I played all of them on xbox 360 back when they came out, and loved them. I also have friends who bought the LE and had a great experience, I watched them play a bit too and everything seemed to hold up very well

There’s a graphically updated version of the trilogy, regularly goes on sale for a few bucks

Total shot in the dark,

I had this problem for a while. It turns out the whole time my firefox was set to a different dialect of english (British) lol. I think it may have been set that way by default because of Ubuntu being headquartered in the UK lol

My spellcheck seems to be working fine these days though, could you list some examples of common words that you’ve had to add to the dictionary? I can check how mine responds when I get home

Oh, wow thank you this looks rad actually. Notable for US users: it appears to only work with T-mobile

Could you direct us to some ethically sourced smartphones?

Yeah! It’s actually a pretty major pitfall that I feel like doesn’t get talked about enough. Many people have a tendency to conclude “this isn’t working anymore” when they reach that point, due to the lack of soreness. People often feel inclined to switch up their exercises to reintroduce the soreness.

But it’s a terrible irony, as that is usually the point where you will begin to see really great progress on your program.

The critical thing to ask yourself is whether you are progressing in your lifts. If you added 5lbs or got more reps (without changing your technique), then you’re on the right path

Check out the “repeated bout effect” as well! If you stick with it week after week the DOMs will gradually vanish!

So much so that I’ve had clients ask if something was wrong because they weren’t sore at all, usually after 3 or 4 weeks of a training block. But all is well, soreness is not actually the goal of a workout.

If you take a break though, even a short one (for me it’s literally like 10 days of not training) it kind of “resets” and you get the full soreness again. It’s become a great motivator always sneak some volume in somehow, even on vacations and stuff

Interesting argument, but I have already hand drawn you as the soyjack and me as the chad
