This might be a really stupid post but please bear with me 🥲 I started going to the gym a week and a half ago, and I like doing EZ bar preacher curls. I do 7.5kg each side for about 8 reps, then try doing the same weight again for my next set. When I do this, I can’t get past 3-4 reps, and consequently have to lower it to 5kg on each side, after which I can smoothly do at least 6 reps for 2 more sets.

Thing is, I can usually bang out at least 2 sets with the same weight in the 6-10 rep range for every other exercise, so is it normal to be like this for preacher curls?

Was up at 3am listening to this song (don’t even ask why) and the knocking at 2:20 scared the life out of me, I thought there was someone outside my window.

Didn’t even cross my mind that it could’ve been part of the song, I was shook 🤣

Has this freaked out anyone else too lol

I have around 12 hours with an instructor, is that enough to start doing private practice with my parents?

I’ve got a decent understanding of the basics but can still get a bit nervous around traffic. Haven’t learned any of the manoeuvres but done big roundabouts and crossroads. I’d like to crack on and practice in my own time. The reason I’m asking this question is because obviously my parents’ car doesn’t have dual controls so I’m a bit afraid of what would happen if I got in a bad situation.

Manual btw

Hello everyone! I’m a Supercell employee and I’ve been told to inform the community of an error that we made in our recent communication.

It seems that we missed a comma in our latest announcement. Whoops! What we intended to say was “No, more levels!” We know that the idea of level 16 being the final one gave you quite a fright - not to worry, we will continue leeching every penny we possibly can from you!

We know that you, our loyal (paying) players progress through the game SO fast that it ends up being boring. As a result, to keep progression “interesting” and “rewarding”, we will in fact be introducing level 17 in our next update! We are sure this is a thrilling idea for both the casual players as well as the pros, who seem to be particularly drawn to numbers ending in -teen.

And what about the F2P vermin subhumans “people” who were already struggling to get to level 16? Well, you can go fuck yourselves have a whopping 200 gems and 5000 gold in our next lazy event! Aren’t we generous?

Will there ever actually be a final level? Yes, when we run out of numbers.

I hope that clears up the confusion! If you have any questions or complaints, we request that you get in contact with our support team, who will then either ignore you or give you a botted response which does not address your query or assist you in any way. Thanks!

Absolutely unbearable heat today. Surely you don’t think having to put a few layers on is worse than the torture we’re having to endure today?

“One moment please” yeah you mean almost an hour cheers mate

Mods, thank you for actually allowing the community to post whatever they want, unlike the ones on the main Clash Royale subreddit, who will take your post down if they just don’t like it. On this sub I’ve seen funny clips, great art, huge rants, weird bugs, interesting opinions, everything. The experience here is way more authentic and I feel more connected to the people here than the ones who focus on the main mode.

For the most part the people on here are all really nice too so shoutout to you guys :)

Nerf her to the ground like Echo Sage, I’m so sick of coming up against this bullshit. It feels like the devs make sure to always have one ridiculously annoying ruler every season just so that Empress isn’t the clear best

I’m at 3K and I just beat someone running Duchess with full undead and a 3 star Skeleton Dragon. How? Because this genius spaced out his troops literally as much as he possibly could, Skeleton Dragon in the corner with no troops alongside it.

How can you climb this high up and miss such a key mechanic of a card? I guess it goes to show how braindead Duchess is and how easy it is to climb with her even if you don’t know a lot about the game

Fucking fuming as I’ve been hard stuck at 2800ish for the past like 3 days. I’ll win a few games then get shat on early game by Loong or Duchess and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. And when I play duchess I’m somehow never the fortunate one to get AQ or GK in the first couple rounds.

This gamemodes the only thing that’s kept me on clash but this seasons so insanely frustrating that I might finally delete it

This doesn’t necessarily mean go in the literal sense, nerfs, buffs or reworks maybe. Add your ideas in the comments

• Monk
• Skeleton Dragons
• One Life To Live modifier (from the bottom of my heart fuck this modifier)
• Golden Knight - make this a quest exclusive troop. Edit: big nerf too
• Quest orb reward system - how can you tell me that 5 elixir is equivalent to getting a Skeleton Dragon which is basically a free win
• Crappy Forest troops especially Firecracker and Boss Bandit - two of the most useless cards to ever be in the game
• Fisherman’s Hook item - maybe introduce an option to just not use some equipment if we don’t want to
• Extra traits as a quest orb reward - I think every ruler can agree that this is a stupid thing to get late game when you’ve already decided which traits you’re building your comp around

My opponent’s sitting with a 3 star MK and Monk and I get an extra 20 elixir while I’m already at 9000 which I gained by sweating my ass off to get 50 merges, hurray!

To everyone behind me when I stall at traffic lights, you’re welcome for the laugh x

I WILL stop doing ts eventually

Liked a bunch of posts about Arsenal’s loss in the champions league final, best twitter scroll sesh of my life. Apparently liking posts you find funny is not allowed, but engagement farming AI blue tick accounts are. Literally the only social media platform where you get punished for interacting with stuff you like, it’s absurd.

Will appealing actually do anything? Has this happened to anyone else?

Haven’t listened to Future in a while, was going through my old playlists on Spotify, where tf is Married To The Game? Why is the only version available a shitty cover by some random bum? Can someone tell me what happened lmao I used to love that song

I vividly remember where I was and what I was doing. I was in year 12 (11th grade for you Americans) sitting in my school library revising with my headphones on, and Spotify’s random shuffle feature puts on Something To Rap About. Holy shit, that was incredible, let me play the whole Alfredo album. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing, banger after banger, not one miss. Been a fan since, he was my top artist in 2024.

Hi everyone, sorry in advance for this being a long read.

I’m currently on a gap year with an unconditional offer but I’m considering another gap.

The reason I’ve taken this gap year and thinking of another is purely cause of financial reasons. Right now I’m classed as an overseas student despite living here since 2017 (don’t ask) and will only gain home status in 2027. I’ll have to pay one year of international fees which is coming out to be over 55k.

My parents have said they are fine with covering this instead of waiting another year. Their reasoning is that it’ll be difficult for me to get into the flow of uni work if I’ve been out of a learning routine for too long, and I’ll be almost 21 when I start (November birthday lol).

Earlier on, I was too excited by the prospect of becoming a doctor that I didn’t consider the fees aspect of it. Now that I think of it, it seems like such a waste to put in the amount a home student pays for the whole course, for just one year. In my opinion I’d much rather my parents save this money for the future. We’re not wealthy people so it’s not like this isn’t a major sum to pay.

Also, I’d have to commute ~90mins each way by train for first and potentially second year because we can’t afford student accommodation (can’t apply for loans cause I’m classed as an overseas student). I personally know a couple of people that have similar commutes to mine and say it’s fine but I’ve also heard horror stories of burnout and loneliness so I don’t know what to expect.

Another problem though is that I can’t defer the offer I already have because the university won’t allow it. Taking another gap year would mean I have to do the UCAT and interview process again which would be a bit of a pain but I’m confident that I can get another offer. My A-Level and GCSE grades are solid and I’ve done the UCAT twice already and have achieved scores in the top decile both times.

I would be working in this second gap year so it wouldn’t be time wasted. Plus I’m not fussed about the idea of being older than the rest of my cohort as I don’t think it particularly matters, especially for the career I’ve chosen.

I’ve tentatively brought up this idea to my parents but they’re against it because a) they don’t want me putting my life on hold for any longer and b) there’s always the possibility that if I could end up with no med offers if I reapply if I have bad interview performances. They’re very understanding people though so I’m sure I could convince them to support me in taking another gap if I told them that I really wanted to.

What do you guys think I should do? Suck it up and take the offer I have just to be safe + graduate earlier or wait a year and save 50k?
