RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 3.0

Like I mentioned though, I rarely watch movies at the cinema, or at home, they lack everything that anime and games have

You've got that in common with me too, then, haha. I watch maaaaaaybe four or five movies a year, and most of them tend to be school-safe movies I'm previewing to make sure I can show them to my students on movie days. Any time I have some extra days off, though, I'm at home watching some random anime series all day or playing a Bethesda RPG until it's waaaaay later than I realized it was. 

Yeah, usually post exams, near the end of semesters, is when I watch the most movies haha.
Unless it is a movie made from a video game I like, then I will usually watch it. :p

Just come to the horrible realization that i've got something planned for every night this week and the weekend.

Next week i'll probably be complaining that i'm lonely but still. It's my last year not my first, I shouldn't have to be this social. 

Also side rant: I hate that there isn't any healthy convenience food in most supermarkets here. (If not most then the one closest to my house / convenience stores)

I'm trying to slim down and be healthier.

On weeks like this where i'm busy I just want to buy already made food for a good price that's good for me but it's just such a pain in the arse here. I don't want to cook anything, I love cooking, but sometimes I just get sick of it.
 

It's a lot to ask, probably impossible, but it's pissing me off so i'll complain about it.

You tried meal prepping?
Cook a batch of meat and veg, once a week, vacuum seal it and refrigerate.

Carbs are relatively quick to cook and usually the biggest culprit for fat gain.
Keep your carbs as clean as possible, order some wild rice off iHerb and you're good to go.

Don't waste your time with too much cardio, it MIGHT put you in a calorie deficit but you'll lose weight (water, muscle and fat) and won't really alter your BMR, so it's not that useful for long term results.
Lift weights... heavy ass weights, and do compound movements (squats, deadlifts etc.). They'll change your BMR, kill fat, rewire your neurological system, build muscle and even help with depression and anxiety, lifting quite literally transforms you.

I've thought about  it. I've done it before in terms of soups and stuff obviously but never "real" meal prep. I think it's a great idea and certainly would make my life easier. Then Sunday rolls around and i'm either busy or it's the second one of the month  Maybe one day.

As for cardio...Honestly I don't and I won't haha. I play badminton a couple times a week and I ride my bike, that's enough for me. Yeah I maybe I should lift or do weight training. I know it'll be good for me, but it just doesn't appeal to me much.

Also Donovan, thankfully I live right next to a brand new apartment complex construction site in a bit of a run down area. Tons of cheap filling wholesome kinda places and now they're doing loads of deals to entice the construction workers.

Free copies of The Sun?  Being allowed to wolf whistle passing women?  All day breakfast cafes?

Now that's what I call 서비스!

   Sorry, wrong quote source!

 To reiterate: Where in hell do you get breakfast (or ANY time...) Black Pudding here?

Not sure if I didn't enjoy Solo last night because it wasn't that good, or because the Koreans behind me were talking and chewing with their mouths open 

You'll have to see it again to find out

I feel horrible and I want to play with the kittens but stella will not let me

this is a travesty

i demand justice and small kittens

In all my years I have never had a semester that seemed as long as this one does. It feels like the last 3 months have taken a year to pass....

Also I am a cat person - congrats Bingsu on being a kitten Grandma

Being made to wear cheap, uncomfortable, industrial-smelling t-shirts for English camp.

They're pointless and a waste of resources. And yet some places still insist on them because **** you, that's why.

Same.... and being the big, western guy who can't wear Korean sizes.... it always turns out interesting.

Knew a guy who was well over 6 feet tall, had a large build... and the biggest size they could get him was 110. xD He got exempt from wearing the stupid shirt.

Excellent reason to bulk up!

Just refuse. What are they really going to do about it?

*Two females students (who are notorious at this school) become so disruptive that the class next door takes notice as well*

  Coteacher: I don't know why they're like this.
  Me: There's no proper punishment.
  Coteacher: I just don't understand.

Outright refusal can lead to drama, so I don't refuse this kind of stuff.

But I do just "forget" where I put the shirt after day 1.

Don't overestimate the wrath of your co-workers.

6yrs of blank refusals to name tags, t-shirts and other degrading BS and I'm still here.
Blank refusal seems to leave people confused and mildly dumbstruck. By the time they're about to protest, I've usually walked away and they seem reluctant to pursue the issue... it's actually kind of amusing.

So last year my school had a major problem with students smoking on campus, which they've effectively tackled this year, and the number of incidences have dropped dramatically.

Coincidentally, the kids are now all chewing gum. And they're spitting it out ****** everywhere. It's like trying to walk through a minefield, now.
