The lockdown simply isn't a real thing unless you're a loser.

So my gym closed down when everything else went on lockdown. But two weeks ago I spoke to a friend who owed me a favor and he got me into this gym that's still open. It's mostly for competition bodybuilders (which I'm not), but he did me a solid and let me get in. And what I realized was very simple - no one who is serious about their goals is letting coronavirus get in the way. Is the gym allowed to be open? I mean, technically no, but also, who gives a fuck? They just froze the memberships and let people pay in cash so that it wouldn't look like they were taking money over the months they were supposed to be closed. Now instead of a business it's just a bunch of dudes lifting weights in the same room and that's not against the rules. Or is it? Who gives a fuck.

I spoke to one of the coaches there and he was telling me how now is actually the best time to be working on your goals - because other people aren't. I realized how similar these sentiments were to something another friend of mine said - he does lawn care, which is not an essential business. Most of his competitors have vanished. They're losing. They're losers. And he's working 18 hours a day and making more money (and securing more clients than ever before.) Every athlete and bodybuilder who is taking time off right now is going backwards and losing progress.

The only people letting the lockdown dictate their lives are morons, losers and those who have to be concerned with PR issues (Celebrities, mainly.) No one else has an excuse.

I legitimately don't know how to answer you other than sometimes your arc forward on your goals, and other people with their idiocy and agendas screw up your trajectory. I had it happen to me by extremely evil people which is why I'm in my dungeon for a while, and others have had it happen to. Your own post goes against that because if you didn't have someone to help you, you'd be stuck at home trying exercises to that extent, so it's circumstantial and at the same time what you respond to those circumstances.
What are you honestly trying to say?
If you're bored, read up on the story of Caleb and Joshua from the Bible. Two guys stuck with the entirety of hebrews for forty years because they screwed up. They were the only survivors of the original hebrews coming out of Egypt because the others were pants crappingly retarded. They had to deal with those ass munches for forty years. Sometimes you gotta deal with 'Shlein, ya know?

I was being a loser.

Society always has a way of meeting you halfway in laziness. It's filled with temptations to sit around and be unproductive. But the lockdown is when society started pushing even further into encouraging weakness. Suddenly being a lazy piece of shit is valiant? Too many people have decided that a pandemic is enough of an excuse to live a slovenly lifestyle. It's pathetic and unacceptable. There is no lockdown beyond a firm suggestion from west coast technocrats and monied politicians and there are plenty of people defying that suggestion in order to further themselves. It's all very clear.

On NPR Marketplace earlier I heard a story on how the clothing industry is in tatters (heh) because people are just wearing the same things all day and not bothering to change their clothes. When the govt is telling you to remain indoors and do not think about the event, there is no reason to change clothes anymore.

Sounds like shit you'd read from a self help book. If you're trying to better yourself then no shit you keep doing what you're doing even if you have to find some place different or another method.
Yeah, people are idiots and quitters and those that succeed usually aren't. How old or pathetic are you to only realize this now?

This is autistic AF, but in a good way.

I got a shitload of professional self-improvement done and cut out a lot of stuff that didn't matter. I don't want to live my whole life like this, but I think the work I put in has improved my prospects.

you guys ever see that video that pops up every few years of that broad who is getting beaten up by her boyfriend and she calls 911 but pretends she's ordering pizza? you know the video i'm talking about it. i'm not going to to bother linking to it. everytime i see the video it's like, "look at this woman's GENIUS plan to report her husband for domestic violence!!!!" look - i'm not impressed. not one iota. if she was such a GENIUS she should have signed up for some boxing classes so that her husband would stop uppercutting her on the reg. is there anything less attractive than a woman who lets a dude beat her up? that lack of confidence is so unattractive.

but look - just don't pretend like you're doing anything of value by being sedentary. now or later. there's free vitamin d outside and i'm taking it all and you're getting NONE...this whole thing is a zero sum game...understand
