A trope in creepypasta that is way, way too heavily used is the Absence of Facial Features. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheBlank

Fun meme: send Adam Savage pictures of horrible DIY projects that's just shit duct-taped together https://octodon.social/media/bNg2iwGsjGB5XmoRPak https://octodon.social/media/bE61ctlY4r9v0s7ede0 https://octodon.social/media/UbOIVuTPBqm35PzKrnU

Each workout is generally in the form of a giant set, with main/secondary/assistance sets in a row followed by rest, except where that'd be annoying to do (deadlift slash front squat, etc). In that case, I split the two into their own giant sets with assistances.

My favorite row style is pook row. It's like a kroc row, except you do 5-8 reps with one hand, switch, 5-8 reps with that, switch, etc til you get to your desired total.

Each arm only rests while the other works, it's more time-efficient and higher intensity than normal kroc rows. More options to increase intensity as well: n+1 reps per switch, n+1 sets, ladders, etc. I like them.

In general, each day has a main lift, a secondary lift, and 1 or 2 assistances. Secondary lifts are generally BBB-style.

On deadlift day, I prefer to get 50 total reps of low-rep high intensity front squats instead of such as 5x10 light squats. This allows both intensity and volume, without really having a downside.

Squats and bench 2x a week, one high intensity one high volume.

Rows 3x a week, all heavy

I don't really give a shit whether secondary bench is on OHP or squat day, it mostly depends on the weather.

Monday: heavy upper, with bench as main lift, rows as secondary lift, loaded carry and pullups as assistance.

Tuesday: heavy lower, with deadlift as main lift, front squats as secondary lift, and lunges as assistance

Thursday: upper, with OHP as main lift, bench as optional secondary lift, rows & pullups and loaded carries as assistance

Friday: lower, with front/back squats as main lifts, bench as optional secondary lift if not done day before, rows & barbell complexes and ruck as assistance

His prone body jerks and shudders, lumps rising from his back. Suddenly a finger gently extends from his mouth and probes the open air, almost fearfully. A hand appears, followed by the veiny musculature of a skinless forearm.

With a wet tearing sound more of Neil DeGrasse Tyson emerges from his skin coccoon, dripping with blood like a newborn.

He stands up, brushes himself off, and continues as if nothing happened.

"It is even larger than the surface area of a large beach ball."

"Your skin is actually your largest organ," Neil DeGrasse Tyson says. "It is even larger than-" he begins saying, then coughs.

He coughs with increasing force, popping capillaries in his eyes, leaving him kneeling on the ground retching. The coughing reaches a crescendo and he collapses onto the floor, twitching.

Suddenly his arm begins flailing violently, intense shuddering that ceases as it retracts into his torso.

No, his hand is still there, it wasn't the arm that retracted.

Creepypasta about rituals is interesting. Each is, without exception, just fucking awful. Each follows cliché tropes, each makes no damn sense in boringly predictable ways.

Each is a glimpse into the pathology of whatever reddit community birthed it, in other words. These shitty creepypastas are windows into their shitty politics, shitty souls, and shitty beliefs.

Like I said your honor, I ain't never seen this cat before that night. Offered me a bag of nip and left his calling card on the human's shoe. Didn't think much of it til he turned up in the news the next day feeding the fishes https://octodon.social/media/Ry5S-F5AqHpJt1o0g4Q

I am here for people sneezeshaming their dogs https://octodon.social/media/emJcAcV1F4LYW2PjC3E

This cat is going to send you on a mystical quest to find food for it https://octodon.social/media/cYiou7XDpFjWrXRZuog

Computer, show me pictures of cats who have been caught eating curry due to their bright tumeric yellow faces and paws

Not a big dramatic change, no "imma uninstall this, go cold turkey"

Just, a slight limit on its use. Which, if enough non-nazis do, will cause it to desperately issue update after awful update to appeal to its increasing demographic: nazis who love circles and sideways florps.

For myself, I switched twitter to a swipe, so it takes just a bit more effort to open instead of Subway Tooter.

I decided that I'd spend maybe an hour a day there, retweeting stuff, but will not tweet. https://octodon.social/media/RevjbtD5pdyQtLQJnkA

I'm doing my part to #killtwitter by using it as little as possible for the 3rd quarter, from today til October 1.

If only a few others spend just a bit less time there, and more time spent anywhere else, for just a few months, the network effects will hasten the death spiral into sideways nazi florps.
