It is the man of science,

eager to have his every opinion regenerated,

his every idea rationalized,

by drinking at the fountain of fact,

and devoting all the energies of his life to the cult of truth,

not as he understands it, but as he does not yet understand it,

that ought properly to be called a philosopher

Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death.

The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change,

but the train keeps moving.

Life is the train, not the station

Going after a dream has a price.

It may mean abandoning our habits, it may make us go through hardships, or it may lead us to disappointment, et cetera.

But however costly it may be,

it is never as high as the price paid by people who didn’t live.

Because one day they will look back and hear their own heart say:

I wasted my life.

old people having their slow and careful version of sex -

you might not want to watch it ,

you who are young and convinced that, when it comes to old age, an exception will be made in your case,

but they still want to do it.

All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike.

All is ephemeral—both memory and the object of memory.

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything;

and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you.

Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.

Predator

2026-09-16T10:05:53.585+01:00

If Predators started out hunting humans in the jungles, we don't know how many centuries that may have gone back

We work on the premise that the Predator would not harm a child

So when tribal warriors were killed by them, there may well have been children who witnessed it

So the stories about "demons" from the other side were passed down as the surviving children grew up and told their interpretation of what they saw

Sakki

2026-09-16T09:59:15.005+01:00

Friend posts this story:

"I had that when I was working in a nightclub - I had passed the test years before and was a 6th dan by then - the bottle thrown at my head missed and hit the other doorman - I "wasn't there" when it arrived, and had no idea it had happened or I had done it until it was pointed out to me "he was aiming it at you" "

A Shihan who was a long serving policeman in UK would talk of similar incidents

It maybe works best in a "chaotic environment" as what battle is not chaotic?

Hatsumi Sensei once talked about how it works against a sniper you don't know is there

Someone, a shidoshi rank, who had served frontline in war, long term combat infantry experience, said you sometimes get an incident when a sniper bullet from nowhere hits the tree or wall rather than someone on your team and you all duck - working on the premise that snipers don't "miss", the soldier moved and "wasn't there" when the bullet arrived

He explained how distance rifle shooting works, his regiment were all trained in it, how you line up, pull the trigger between breaths - it all makes sense that a sniper would not miss the head of a man standing pretty much still - so he "moved" because of the "sakki" - the out breath and pulling the trigger is the sakki, the killer intention, that sends the bullet - so the man was "not there" when the bullet arrived because he "just moved"

People who have passed the test and then go on to experience it in real life have trouble explaining it - but you can't deny it is real ,

Cows eat grass, cows make milk

Scientists can't take grass into a lab and turn it into milk - the exact process isn't fully understood and can't be reproduced yet - we still have to milk cows

The sakki test is something in nature, something that happens naturally, but it can't be fully understood, explained, or quantified yet

Years ago nobody knew about motor neurons, axioms, dendrites, synapses, but reflexes have always been developed through the proper drills .

maybe it is understood in some way, but not so that it can be reproduced - you can't take grass into a lab and make milk - yet

Like how the stethoscope came first , then X RAY, then MRI and PET - more can be seen of the body functions

DNA, the genome being mapped

So things are being understood that have always been there

A lot of people over intellectualise the sakki test, the same way as people look for "psychic" and "mystical" explanations

The milk coming out of the cow is not "magic" .

Electricity has always been there - but it was a certain point in history where people learnt how to harness it and then found ways to use it

The drugs were developed during WW2

The super soldier program that Captain America in the comics was based on

After the war, in the 50s, there was a surplus and they became available

Everyone from Larry Scott onwards used them

Dianabol

Winstrol

Deca

Anavar

As Arnold said, they were not illegal in the 60s to 70s

Creatine

Vitamins

Amino acids

Only when something got banned did the outside world pay attention

Same happened with ephedrine

Everyone used it up to mid 90s then it got banned

Nobody banned caffeine

Nobody banned alcohol

If creatine was banned tomorrow the same thing would be said by outsiders

"They were all on creatine"

Makes the same amount of sense

The idiots who say "natty" would equate that to someone who doesn't use creatine .

You guys who don't train need to stop saying "natty "

Trying to sound like some insider using the lingo

Sound as stupid as you look

Michael McIntyre was there - as has been noted

Rumour/theory in later years, after he became famous and this clip started getting posted, was that he engineered it, had his friend ring up to do this on that day when he was in the audience.

This has never been proven or admitted to, though it does make a great story, urban myth.

And, if he wasn't behind it, it could be viewed as quite a coincidence that it occurred on the day he "just happened" to be sitting right there.

Eliot: "I want to ask Five Star why they're so fucking crap"

Sarah: "OK, well let's ask Steadman - why are Five Star so fucking crap?"

It's not as simple as "Nothing happened"

They got naked and got into bed

Probably kissing and lots of touching all over

He gets erect - probably with help from her

Penny rolls the condom down his erection and he prejacs

So at this point the "encounter" stops, they do not have penetrative sex

But they were going to - they both full intended to

He got naked with Penny, got in bed with her, ran his hands all over he body, her breasts, probably her pussy, probably had his fingers inside her

Penny had her hands all over him, held his erection, masturbated him, maybe used her mouth on him - and used her hand to bring him to climax

So "nothing happened" ?

And yes, it all "happened" in Leonard's bed

No wonder Emily was so pissed when she found out as well .

Deleted scene Transcript:

PICARD: Mister Worf, what does "p'tak" mean

WORF: properly pronounced "petaQ" - it is difficult to translate - it refers to one who manually manipulates their own genitals for self gratification - the closest word in your language would be a "wanker"

PICARD: I see - and how does one respond to this insult ?

WORF: The correct response is to pose the question "Who are YOU calling a wanker?" .

Susanna recorded the song in the studio naked, to get a feeling of vulnerability which some fans say they can hear when it is played

Apparently she enjoyed the process so she stripped of each day at the studio and did the rest her vocals undressed as well

Pity there was never a live version of this - at least a public one

Be nice to think she sang the song naked at least once for a private audience

Quote: "I imagined it would feel like skinny dipping—vulnerable yet freeing – and I decided to try it. Nobody could see me; there was a baffle in front of me and it was dark."

She liked the experience enough to sing all her vocals on the album that way .

Dorian had had his six wins

Kevin, Shawn and Flex had come second to him in the first five, Shawn and Kevin doing so twice

Nasser arrived and started moving up

He had been 3rd, he had been DQd

Now in 97 he came second - this year and lot of people thought he would have won and become the new Mr O

As stated, Ronnie was 6th in 96, the year Nasser was DQ after placing 3rd - in 97 he drops to 9th

In 98 of course Ronnie overtook everyone and won, with Flex coming in 2nd

This is the same as Ronnie and Jay

If Lee had come back in 92 going for a 9th, Dorian still would have won

Dorian said this back in the 90s and stands by it

Even recently Dorian speculated about Lee having the 8th, being he only person to do so, beating Arnold's record, and what would be the point of going for the 9th

If he win the 9th so what, if he lost, it tarnished the record

Years later when Ronnie got 8, Lee's record was matched, and we know Ronnie went for the 9th to set the new record and he lost to Jay

Of course if Lee had been able to win the 9th in 92 that would be a record still unbeaten to this day - Ronnie would need a 9th to equal it and a 10th to beat it, which we know was impossible

Like Marciano with 49 fights undefeated - the only heavyweight champion who never lost - there was no point having a 50th fight just to make a number, and he faced being possibly defeated

Simulation

2026-09-13T11:45:14.343+01:00

Do we live in a simulation

There is a decent chance - about 55%

Clue One

Space and Time come in tiny units

- like pixels in a digital screen

Simulations have minimal resolution

- natural universes don't need it

Clue Two

Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light

A strange limit for nature

- but normal for a system with a max processing speed

Clue Three

Quantum particles behave differently

when someone is observing them

Like a world that "renders" what a player only looks at

Clue Four

The Universe is perfectly tuned for Life

If the numbers were slightly different,

nothing would exist

Rare in randomness - expected in design

Clue Five

Consciousness is still unexplained

Science cannot show how atoms create awareness

But in a simulation, a "mind" is simply a character's internal experience

The maths of Physics is elegant and clean

Not proof - just interesting

We might be in the real Universe

But there's a slightly higher chance we're in a simulation - about 55%

No Water, No Moon

When the nun Chiyono studied Zen under Bukko of Engaku she was unable to attain the fruits of meditation for a long time.

At last one moonlit night she was carrying water in an old pail bound with bamboo. The bamboo broke and the bottom fell out of the pail, and at that moment Chiyono was set free!

In commemoration, she wrote a poem:

In this way and that I tried to save the old pail

Since the bamboo strip was weakening and about to break

Until at last the bottom fell out.

No more water in the pail!

No more moon in the water!

Apparently it's just a strung sequence of swear words, but the French "translation" - if slang has a true translation eg "fuck dick piss shit cunt wankstain ass butthole" he may have said " cat dog car oven potato wristwatch crystal" for people who don't know the words - ie people who do not have French as their first language From what French women have said - Cobb is Cock and Zizzi is Willy - they mean the same thing but are different "translations" of the slang words In German "fotzen" is "vagina" - "fotzen licker", you know what a "licker" would be - so "fotzenlickeri" is cunnilingus Pimmel is Penis etc Like wiping your ass with silk .

1980 Arnold won - simple as that

He was preparing for Conan and the shape he got into, for the film, what we saw in the film, was what he brought to the stage that night 

While some say it was not up to the same standard as he earlier 6 winning years, he was still ahead of everyone else 

During his acceptance speech, Arnold acknowledged how close the decision was, saying 

"I have to be very honest, that this was the highest level of competition that I have ever faced in any competition in my life" 

 Zane had completely recovered from his injury, and had retained his definition, much of his muscular size from the year before was missing, so Zane was never going to win the title again

Zane didn't compete in 81

Came second to Dickerson in 82

83 he came fourth with Samir winning, and retired 

81 Franco won his second title with a comeback, and Dickerson came second place, going on to win in 82 - Dickerson paid his dues and worked his way up 

In 81, Frank Zane, Boyer Coe, Mentzer, and 6th place Roger Walker all boycotted and did not enter - though nobody cared about Walker 

Babies throwing their toys out of the pram 

According to Chris Dickerson, "the promoter was a real low life, a bigot, who had a real dislike for me –partly on racial grounds and partly for my sexual orientation." Paul Graham even told another official that "Chris couldn't win because he was a fag"

Yes because it had to be "racist" of course - and the gay thing 

Dickerson winning in 82 proves that was nonsense 

81 lineup

Franco

2nd Dickerson 

3rd Tom Platz

4th Callender 

5th Padilla 

6th Wilcox 

Samir placed 9th 

If Mentzer, Coe and Zane had all entered in 81, where would they place after Franco and Dickerson - 4th, 5th and 6th maybe - Tom Platz was a  factor as he probably would have still placed 3rd above all 3 of them 

In 82, Platz dropped to 6th, and Zane came back but only at 4th - Albert Beckles and Casey Viator were inserted between them at 5th and 3rd 

.

This never happened 

Nobody has ever scored 300 

This story that Mentzer did it in some obscure show 60 years ago is a recent invention reposted by the fanboys

 As athletes improve through the years if Mentzer had scored 300 then, being the only person to ever do it, he would have gone on to score like that at the bigger shows 

The only shows we can actually watch like the 80 Olympia he comes fifth 

The story that he once scored 300 was never true

This alleged competition 

There are no clips on YT or anywhere of this contest uploaded with this 300 result 

Nobody has uploaded any magazine article about this 

When this 300 story started being posted online a few years ago the Mentzer fanboys started quoting it 

 If you want people to believe it then you have to prove it did 

Which you can't 

The point is that you were not at the contest and you have never seen this magazine with the article and pictures

Mentzer fanboy never saw the contest or read the magazines or knows anyone that does

 Believes a story he saw online

The sad thing about you Mentzer fanboys is you don't really know why you think this 

You don't understand the mandatory poses and the scoring system

 You can't explain why you think the places were wrong

 You have locked onto this idea that they are 

Repeating endlessly what you have read online

 Ignoring the results, the facts, the history 

Low IQ small dick losers who support a loser
