Hello everyone.

This is kind of a rant. I loved the show lucifer! It was so good with Tom Ellis.

So imagine my surprise when I noticed they started a new show with him that seemed super interesting on Paramount Plus, CIA. I started to watch it and got like 2 or 3 episodes in the first season, really getting into it. Then suddenly, I could not watch it anymore. The entire first season disappeared and they started to premier the second season. Now the only place you can get season 1 is if you buy the entire season on Amazon prime.

This is soo frustrating! The show literally was created in February of 2026, only a few months ago and they already decided to sell the rights to Amazon or something. I am actually angry and I am going to remove my subscription, I barely use paramount plus (even got the higher tier subscription) and when I got really excited and into a show they do this!!! Its crazy.

Feel free to leave more frustrating comments lol.

Hello Everyone!

So I have been working really hard in the gym with a calorie deficit since the end of September 2025. My fitness goal was to have defined and noticable 6 pack abs without flexing while increasing strength.

I got to a pretty good spot and weight like 14% body fat, I'm not exactly where I want to be but I am okay with where im at for now.

Recently (past 2 or so months) I have been noticing like overuse injuries and such coming up so I decided to take a break from the gym for general recovery. I converted my 6 day a week push, pull, legs, push, pull, cardio set up to running every day with bodyweight and abs/core excersizes post running and 2 days a week in the gym, a push and pull day.

This being said, my plan is to keep losing weight (only have a little to go like 6 lbs I predict) but I want to condition myself for calisthenics and someday I want to do the human flagpole and a few other calisthenic movements. My parallelets are arriving tmr!!

Any suggestions on how I can incorporate bodyweight excersizes to give me the strength, technique, discipline, balance, etc. needed for calisthenic movements?

So this is kind of a rant and kind of a serious question. I graduated with a b.s. in aerospace engineering. I applied to so many jobs after graduation (over 150) and only got like 2 call backs (I had no internship or CoOP experience). The second call I got an interview and a job.

The job is fine, it is a test engineering position in a factory and at this point I have worked here for over 2 years. Not aerospace related at all.

I recently decided to try my hand at applying for jobs again. I figure with 2 years of engineering experience even if its not aerospace but basic engineering at least, would be a good time to apply for jobs, especially because now my options are open, I can actually apply to jobs with an experience requirement.

Moral of the story I am sitting at almost 50 applications, I had one interview with Blue Origin (4 hrs long), and another 30 minute interview with GE Aerospace, and several phone calls with Actalent and a few calls with a few different places.

All in all, I am having better luck then I did after college. But still its long and tedious, changing resumes for each position, rewriting cover letters the whole 9 yards and no offers and hardly any interviews.

What really urks me is how many positions still say 5 years of experience, or 3 years of experience in this specific aerospace speciality, etc. Like some of my applications are a stretch because I don't have any real world Aerospace experience, just trying to make my job experience count a bit towards these positions. Like how am I to get experience if no one gives me a chance.

Lowkey it scares me because I do not want to be stuck in the electric car battery field, and im like I basically have to apply to internships to and take a massive pay cut just to have a chance. Idk rant over

So context, one day I 23M decided that I was a little overweight and my dream body is to have a clearly defined 6 pack of abs without even trying. I worked really hard to lose the weight I had (not crazy only like 20lbs but still very noticeable since I wasn't crazy overweight to begin with).

Calorie deficits, gym 5 -6 days a week, cutting out all bad foods pretty much, stopped drinking mostly, huge change. The whole 9 yards.

So fast forward 6 to 7 ish months, I lost the 20 lbs my abs are showing without even trying besides the lower ab (that mf fat has been holding on for dear life). I am in the best shape I've ever been, I look good and feel good and im so proud of myself.

But lowkey I was hoping that this change would also impact the women around me. I thought that yes I'm doing this for me and I want this, maybe as a bonus girls might notice me more. I noticed it a little bit like getting a few more matches on tinder and whatnot but as it goes those usually dont amount to anything, got a few more hookups I suppose.

So the question is do girls even notice this about a dude or do they really not give af.

I am truly just curious, I am not desperate to get a gf or anything or hookup with people but it seems like nothing much has changed, and I did notice in the gym there is always someone else who is stronger looks better sadly haha. Someday that'll be me
