Happy Thursday.
I'm fully recovered I think but sometimes I still have that minor breathing problem. Other than that I am doing pretty good. Had many boring meetings this morning. Guess what? I finally able to conventional deadlift one rep at 200 using neutral grip (no mixed grip). That is my new PR and more than what I did before back surgery. So happy.
How's your day going? Did it rain in your area today? Mine did in the morning.
I remember my first job where it was mostly old people lol. The company had some old products that still used COBOL and Fusion. I had to learn Fusion to fix the bugs because the real Fusion developer quit. hahaha.. I agree with you in regard to cutting-edge especially start ups generate lots of stress. I rather work for old companies.
That is cool that they like the movie. I wish they had more action instead of comical skits but got to love fat thor. I actually cried when Tony Stark died even though I knew he didn't want to be Iron Man anymore (sorry spoilers). Lucky you that you got to watch it twice.
Are you guys going to see Spider-man Far From Home?

Still having minor breathing problem? Must be that old age. LOL
Congrats on the new PR!! Having new PR feels amazing. I haven't deadlift in ages. I don't deadlift no more.
Today is boring. The database that I rely on for work went down so all I did was surf the web so far. Probably take off a little early so I can watch the playoff later.
Yeah, it did rain. I am surprised that we get that much rain in May.
Nah, won't watch Spiderman. If I see it on tv later then I might watch it. Not really a movie person for a while now.
Happy Friday Eve!If motivation comes in a liquid form, it would be dripping off my fingers tips.

I grew up drinking milk too. Back then, I would get stomachache often and I didn't know that it was dairy causing it.
I can still eat dairy but I have to monitor the intake. More than a cup of milk or two cups of yogurt a day, then it is guaranteed that I will go to bathroom 4 times that day lol.

Happy Friday for the regular folks here. haha.. Yes I am old. No denying that but I have that Asian genetics where I still look young. Wait till I am 70 years old and then boom wrinkly face.
Thank you! I am just taking squats and deadlifts very slowly each time. Not rushing anything. I am very lucky that I can still do deadlifts after the surgery so very proud of myself. Well your back still hurts so no need to do deadlifts. I think we agree that the back is more important than some lifting numbers.
Surfing on the web? LOL.. Are you surfing something that you are not supposed to surf? Your company does not have those block ware like Websense?
It's okay if you don't want to see movies. Just do your thing and enjoy life.

Nice. Cantonese?
Brah, perfect for a cut. It will help you drop at least a couple pounds. :}
No one is older than Hosum tho. Hosum is close to 65 now. :}
Every body part is important. Thinking about stop lifting and stick with dadbod. Need to save my joints.
Sure I can go to pornhub but I rather have a job then being unemployed.

I graduated. Now working in the US but I also come back to Asia often. My parents live there since their businesses are over there, i might also consider going back sometimes later if I wanna build a business (Hard to be rich in the US, yeah sure you can get a decent paying job but I think as long as you work for other people/company you'll never truly be rich, it is also insanely difficult to build a lucrative business here much easier back in Asia). How bout you?

You need to learn dat dere superior chinese lingo (cantonese).
Where in Asia? Indo or Malay?
The funny thing is that people who are in Asia has this mind set the the US is made of gold and everyone can get rich easily hence why so many of them wants to come here. But the reality is that once they get over here, they will regret it especially if they don't have graduate college. The will ended up working in 12+hours a day working in resturant and etc.
When I retired, I definitely don't mind retiring in Asia. srsIf motivation comes in a liquid form, it would be dripping off my fingers tips.

Depends could be in Singapore too. Ah yeah that mindset, well if you don't have an education then you might be better off here in the US. It is better to work in a restaurant in the US than to work in a restaurant in Asia. It is better to work for Amazon than let's say an e-commerce company in Asia.
I am talking about building business that generates a lot of money here. Like more than seven figures for the owner alone. This is very hard to do here in the US.
But in Asia, it is a lot easier to build that since the economy is not mature enough + lot of loopholes + abundance of cheap labor. That's why you see so many rich Asians (esp Chinese from China) coming out now.Global Citizen Crew - I educate stupid basement-living miscers about the world's culture and critical thinking

Happy Monday bros!!
Congrats on the PR! You're stronger than me
I would have preferred more action in Endgame too, but it's good overall. It wasn't hard to guess who's leaving the franchise based on what was happening in the real world.
Spiderman will probably be a Netflix movie instead of a theater movie My son hasn't said he wants to see it. Are you going to see it?
We're thinking of retiring in Asia
Agreed that the immaturity of the economy and unregulated nature of business (plus the other stuff you mentioned) are why it's easier.## chillin at home crew

Haha
But yeah brah. Being an Asian is Asia is fun, assuming you can speak the language fluently and still in touch with you parents' culture if you are a son of an immigrant.
Especially, social life wise, I had way more real friends. I'd even go out and say the nightlife in Asia is way better. Srs. US nightlife scene is nothing compared to some major cities in Asia now. In terms of dating I had way more success too, in my experience nothing is worse than being an Asian men in North America or other Anglo Saxon (Western European countries or countries with western European origin e.g, Australia, Canada) countries.
Every time I went home which I did once or twice every year, my tinder matches started blowing up, or if I visit other Asian countries or Eastern European countries. Back then in high school before I moved to the US, girls literally flocked to me and I miss it greatly. Here in the US, I barely get Tinder matches or much attention from pretty girls.
In terms of financial, it can be bad if you don't have a solid business or at least a business plan. Because you don't really make as much as in here if you work for a company.
So, yeah brah living in Asia is not bad at all. I have been in the US for like 6 years and I honestly can't wait to get back till I am done collecting US job experience here.Global Citizen Crew - I educate stupid basement-living miscers about the world's culture and critical thinking

QFT! Asia night life is way better in all aspects. As for dating, I find it the same every where. Maybe because I am in CA and interracial dating is very common. Maybe is different in other states because you get that Asian men stereotype.
Vietnam is one of the country on my list too. Just imagine eating durian and all the tropical fruits daily on nice beach front condo. LOL

Happy Wednesday everyone! Been busy with work. Got put on a project at the last minute. Had to gather info on mounted shares across different platforms and fix fstabs.
You guys always say he is the oldest one. Is that why he does not post anymore? Too old to type? Lol.
Didn't you know that the new trend is dadbod? You will fit right in. There is nothing wrong with of doing other active sports instead of lifting. Go swimming or bike to save joints. All you have to do is eat less.
pornhub is for home not work. Plus you said you wanted an easier job. What is easier than to stay at home? Lol.. How are you doing though? How is your tricep doing?
Oh that is cool. You are pretty much set. Having your own business is very rewarding but lots of hard work. Lots of risks involve too. Unless you jump around to different jobs asking for more pay each time, it is hard to get rich in US.
I'm an old fart. hahaha... I graduated a long time ago and just working now. I came from HK but raised in the US. I speak Cantonese with my family and friends. I only know some Mandarin but my sisters can speak it really well.
Like Evo, I'm in Cali too. I love it even though not a lot of people do. Interracial dating is big here. Also, a lot of Asians date Asians here despite of what you read on this forum.
Adopt you? Dude you will eat them till they are broke. They can't afford you. They are not from *****. Lol. However, I think they might need a maid though.
Thank you! hahaha.. yeah right. My lifts are wimpies compared to all of you guys. I'm just doing it slowly and taking my time so I don't injure my back again. But I am enjoying my new PR.
Yeah rumors have been flying around even before Endgame came out. Plus they are getting old already so they cannot keep on CGI'ing their face to look young. It is time for the new Marvel characters to step up.
I'm thinking of watching in the theatre but I have a high expectation now since Endgame is done. Hopefully it will lead to something else bigger than Endgame like a new villian. Who do you think will be the next villian?
You will be set for life if you retire in Vietnam. It is cheap over there. You can buy a mansion and Evo can be your maid. Lol. Need to check out your log again and see how you are doing with bench.

What state you from? You sure you want CA high COL price and all the liberals that come with it? Think twice about it. LOL
You need to clear your inbox. How else I am going to send you some D pics? :} I think we all work too damn much and underpaid. I need Tuan to hook me up with a job with him at google.
Hosum is the oldest to me since I am a baby. He is like the granpa to us, but he is a balling granpa. He has been busy vacationing and all the regulars hardly post or stopped posting on here. The forum is not like what it used to be.
Dadbod crew checking in. Who is with me? Not into swimming, but biking sure, then I will need to get a bike and after a few usage, it will just be sitting there collecting dust. lol
Tricep still not normal and I don't think it will be normal again. The MRI shows is not a tear, the only explaination that I can come up with is the tendon has been stretch so it doesn't feel right.
I can speak both Cantonese (superior chinese language) and Mandarin too.

Cool I actually went to HK very often. My Uncle and Cousins live in HK. I ****ing love the Skyline, oh god so beautiful. I just love the pace of the city and being surrounded by tall buildings.
The people are a tad rude tho, especially if you try to Speak Mandarin. I guess they often associate Mandarin with Mainland Chinese which they hate lol. And since I couldn't speak Cantonese, I just spoke English when I was there, and they loved my accent. But then it is also weird because people there understand Mandarin better than English lol.
We already have maids We're opening applications for personal driver though.Global Citizen Crew - I educate stupid basement-living miscers about the world's culture and critical thinking

i lived in ca for many years and eventually escaped. youre right that the immediate seattle area is similar to ca because of all the idiotic liberals, the greater seattle tacoma area is better than ca because you can still buy a nice house for a decent price, and the value is rising higher than other areas, so its a good investment.
washington still has gun rights too, although they are trying to change that...Merica

Yep, Seattle is not much different than CA, but we have way better weather. lol
Fk yeah, HK people are rude as fuk. Couldn't stand Hong Kongese hating on mainland. They all came from the mainland. I understand the political side of it but they reall discriminate the mainlanders.
I heard Oregon still have some nice affordable home prices.
