Potentially hot take but I don't disagree with the idea that reading is a privilege? It's just that most people in the western world (including OP, probably) do possess the requisite privilege, and if they're not reading, it's because they're addicted to their phones lol. If OP's implication is that the reason they're on Twitter all the time is that they're oppressed, then yeah that's pretty silly.
lol oh my god he does not have 5% body fat though I’m dying imagining this active firefighter creaking around dehydrated and catatonic with face striations from just living his life well below elite bodybuilders competition fat levels
Yes, if anything I'd add a few points to all those numbers. 10% is also around the lowest healthy body fat level for most men; you push below that, if ever, only temporarily for maximizing aesthetics at some cost to your functioning.
5% is right around the lowest body fat achievable, eg in a study I know men who started out well trained got around there during an 8-week Army intensive program with a caloric deficit of almost 1500 calories per day; authors observed that you keep losing weight after 5% body fat but you don't keep losing fat, the body starts to preferentially consume muscle and other tissues around that point. This cutoff is much higher for women, perhaps around 10%.
There’s a certain sect of “anti-ableist” people who act like it’s ableist to advocate for people to develop their abilities. It’s learned helplessness disguised as progressive rhetoric.
I think that’s why Jordan Peterson is so popular: he acknowledges weakness and still advocates for becoming stronger. It’s an obvious cultural niche that wasn’t being filled.
The firefighter BIL sounds like the right-wing version of "Looking for a Man in Finance". The two descriptions are eerily parallel except for the ordering.
Obviously Melania was the default parent, but what I find interesting its that her parents, as well as Ivana's parents, were strong role models as well. Years ago Don Jr had an interview where he talked about how the kids were sent to live with Ivana's parents for the summer (maybe several summers), being outside all day and how much they loved it. It was actually humanizing. Melania's parents came to live here (chain migration!) and allegedly lived outside of DC during Trump's Presidency and Melania and Barron spent most of their time with them.
Anyway, Melania's new excuse for why she won't do anything while FLOTUS (again) is that she needs to be in NYC to support Barron, a college freshman at NYU. Lol.
I was also surprised by the equal gender breakdown. That's pretty rare on the Internet, I think. You should run personal ads lol
Very considerate of Incel Wiki to distinguish between Indian and Pakistani Chads. Someone’s read their Salman Rushdie.
I'm *obsessed* with the diverse (and yet still racist) Chads.
why is nobody commenting on the 'nice boy' dog wearing a tiny fedora lol incredible
That little hat made me laugh out loud for real! It was the chefs kiss!
Don’t stop writing about OCD! Your post “maybe everyone on Reddit has OCD?” is my favorite and the one that convinced me to be a paid subscriber.
Oh I won’t stop! It just won’t be one of the most frequent topics. I actually have another planned. Thanks for subscribing!

Whoops already mentioned
Elite bodybuilders’ competition fat levels*
Is that too low? I don't know anything about this subject.....
15% is where a guy looks good shirtless, 10% body fat means a visible 6-pack, 8% is like cover of a fitness magazine.

I'm new here, but I love the fashion content!
OCD content was robbed
Also please do not look into the dog thing
This is a remarkably even gender breakdown and I predict it doesn’t last. Not sure which way it’ll break though
It’s been this way for ages I think. My Twitter followers skew male (I guess Twitter skews male in general) so it makes sense
The different Chad's is actually kind of sweet in its weird little way. I kind of like Don Juan.
"Raj" is actually a fine Chad name. "Chadpreet" is parody right? No one's asserting it's a real chad name right? Right?
Raj is a great name lol (my friend is named Raj!) it just seemed like the only Indian name the guy knew of lol. Chadpreet is definitely parody.

I’m sick and all of this really brightened my day
