WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE STAY THAT SKINNY

like, i get it i got really fat really fast when we moved from arizona to here, and i need to factor in boobs and all that kinda wieght, BUT GOD DAMN.

to stay under 130LB is like.... crazy. 

*semi-happily eating chips at 210LB*

jesus christ...

 

After converting lb to st (UK logic is use metric for everything except speed and body weight. All other weight is measured in kg though), you're comparing 9st (and under) to 15st. I'm somewhere around 9-10.5st (126-147lb - not sure since I haven't checked in a while) and 5'10"ish but the average weight of people I know seems to be around that 9st mark for a lot of the girls in my year and probably 11-12st for the guys in my year though that's a really bad estimate since there's a whole range of guys with differing amounts of muscle and body fat in my year.

 

I don't know how I'm not heavier - I don't really do exercise and definitely eat the 'wrong' types of food, yet somehow I stay at the 10ish mark.

 

Anyways we're probably meant to be ontopic...

 

I can't think of any stories right now but I have noticed that as a keyboardist people are just as likely to ask you "why don't you just use a Casio" or "why do you need x piece of equipment" (whether it be in reference to complaining about the plasticy key action on a particular stage piano or talking about a synthesiser I'm interested in) as they are to ask why you need multiple monitors or a £500 gpu. Guitarists don't get this even though a lot of them have excessive pedal boards or needlessly large amp stacks (to compete with the bass player and their amp setup, right?). Something about having a guitar shaped like one of those 13-year-old-first-time-gamer cases with stupid extra bits stuck on or a really dumb choice of pickups (every 2-pickup guitar where both are EMG humbuckers make me cringe) seems to appeal to the masses enough to forgive their 5 wah pedals or whatever.

 

There's a couple guitarists I know who don't really care about pedals and just want a nice tone. It's a relief sometimes :P

 

I think I just went off topic trying to get back on topic, but whatevs.

This. This is the worst PC cleaning guide ever. Where do I even begin?

You begin by taking the side panel off. :P

I must be the only one who has underweight no matter what they do. I'm 17 and around 5'8", and weigh just 104 lbs.

 

My girlfriend could bench you. And she the type of girl that gets blown away by a light breeze and can slide under closed doors.

1 I dun know what your referring to.

2. NEVER BRING THAT UP EVER AGAIN!

He's referring to the actual weight of people. There was a discussion about it earlier. Not the hard drive thing xD

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I hate when people use the word "graphics" thinking its some sort of game.

When people ask me what is the problem with there computer and i say whats wrong with it the first time they ask again because they dont know what i said.

And just cuz im a kid adults dont like asking me for help.

Yes. I am curious why we are discussing our weight. Not hard drives. That's an argument I don't want to bring up.

We got into a discussion about dating because I said a non techie story of a girl I took out once and they started saying that they don't get dates and listed physical attributes (including weight) and people just started discussing their weight. Idk derail.

Just like my case bro.... Oh yeah, I also hate it when people force their GPU to work for gaming. For example there's a game requires R9 290X (recommendation) like Assassin's Creed Unity, they just use Intel HD Graphics Family/4000/4600......

Oh...haha! Oops. Well my point still stands! I guess I didn't pay that much attention to people talking about their weight xD

:P

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

Stop eating vegetables and fruits and keep eating deep fried from fast foods that should do it and also always asks for extra condiments. :)

Why would you want to gain weight? Being skinny has its advantages

i rarely eat anything other than burgers and wings. still only weigh 120-125 on a good day.

i almost got kicked out of ROTC my freshman year of college when i weighed 118Lbs, as 117 was the min. for my height

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Woah, Woah woah.  

 

Being fat has its advantages too:

 

You can eat whatever and people understand. 

You don't have to play sports, and people accept it.

You can loose weight and people will be super proud of you, if you are skinny and turn fat and people are disappointing.

 

Being fat is awesome.  

Apart from serious health and emotional issues which may or may not include: Possibilities of heart attack, lack of breath, inability to run efficiently, more exposure to disease, viruses and colds and lack of attractiveness.

 

I'm fat.  And i'm proud.
