What's the movie where a guy is talking tough before he flicks a lit cigarette into another guy's eye before he starts beating him? I think Johnny Depp was in it.
EDIT: And the other guy was holding a gun or a weapon on the first guy.
in Trainspotting one character is making fun of another, and the crazy dude is pissed, flicks a cig at ewan mcgregor, and then chockes him up against a wall with a knife against his junk

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

@pony I dropped back into the sexism tropes thread and I just have to sidebar here for a sec and ask you and everyone else:
do you folks think that muscles are mostly for appearance and that being weak or strong doesn't really impact most people in their daily lives?
For me, that is an amazing statement. I feel like it suggests a lack of experience with doing manual labor or even strenuous housework. But others might feel differently?

good lord that statement was amazing
like
it was the kind of statement that I felt only a pudgy nerd who never did shit with his life could make
like he had looked at everyone else who had done shit and had muscles and was like "well I mean those are mostly for show and I don't really need to be strong"
and then he cracks open another Mountain Dew Code Red and goes back to clicking LoL
vacant stare in the eyes, light of the monitor reflecting in the glasses
you could write an entire book on all the gender commentary going on in a couple episode's worth of Nozaki-kun
I mean from a certain angle it's a patriarchal white japanese dude taking all of his friends' very varied personalities and atypical relationships and converting them into strictly gender normative, censor-friendly shoujo manga. Then he pats himself on the back for knowing so much about relationships because he knows all about shoujo manga.

It depends on what you mean. Getting "cut" and being all veiny? I'd say that's mostly for appearance. Mite not going to make a huge difference to most people in their daily life.
If you are weaker than the average person it can have an impact on your ability to perform basic tasks.
But even a person who doesn't look all that muscular can be deceptively strong. My stepdad is one of these folks. He has to buy clothes in the youth section but can carry 50lb bags of dog food to the shop, no problem.

Muscles qua muscles are nice to have for a variety of non-aesthetic reasons.
But most people with amazing bodies have them for the aesthetic qualities almost exclusively. If you're just out working construction you ain't gonna look like captain america, you have to go into a gym and create that.
People that do manual labor are generally not what most people end up thinking of when we go, "people with muscles."

My workouts are pretty much entirely built around "what can I do for someone with these muscles."

In related news, I finally figured out what medicine balls are for.
White collar workers are those who self-identify as professionals or managers. Blue collar workers are those who self-identify as assistants and clerical workers, technicians and repair workers, artists and entertainers, service workers, laborers, salespersons, operators, skilled trade workers, assemblers, or former military.
Kind of sloppy definitions, but it doesn't seem odd to say that 'most' people's jobs involve manual labor. Whether that is manual labor that relies upon muscles and physical strength or, say, sales isn't information we can gain from these statistics.
There are some people who pursue a muscular build for aesthetic reasons, and some people who require a muscular build for their jobs.

Yeah, having a Ripped Physique isn't the same as Being Strong. Maybe people in the sexism thread are just being lazy in their definitions?
Being strong is super useful in daily life, for most people.

If we're talking globally, then definitely. but in a service and retail-based economy, I don't see the obvious benefits unless you value physical capability over leisure, and that of course is a personal determination

Being reasonably built would be extremely practical in a wide variety of scenarios that involve being independent and capable of carrying your own weight.
Competency generates confidence, which is considered sexy, and ones ability to protect themselves would be improved by getting in better shape. So that's increased safety, self-confidence, self-discipline, physical health, and a sex appeal that extends from the inside out...
But on the other hand if you lift just one heavy weight too many your arms will rapidly expand and you'll never land yourself a beau, so...
I don't exercise (I expect to re-start after I graduate in two years), but when I did it was for purely aesthetic reasons
It feels good to be strong enough to lift a heavy thing when the need arises. There was a time not long ago where I couldn't hang a houseplant from a roof beam without getting tired from reaching over my head and turning a screw into a piece of wood. Hanging mini-blinds would wipe me out.
Being weak hinders your ability to do some basic shit. You can't make a roux if you're too weak to stir for 10 minutes.

I strongly doubt this?
Besides pretty much by definition white collar work, even most blue collar work doesn't actually require you to be strong. Hardly anything in the service industry, either. And even lots of jobs where you work with your hand are not actually that physically taxing.
I mean there's a reason why there's so many obese people in the western world, because we don't burn many calories anymore (and we eat a lot). If we had so many people needing muscles, we'd see more people with muscles.
At least as long as we're defining usefulness as like an active benefit, as opposed to simply a general health benefit.

Verifying the "most" claim would be difficult.

Not sure how I feel about alot of parts of this show. It frequently feels sloppy or underdeveloped.
But holy fuck, this sound track. It is literally fucking my ear canal to orgasmic bliss.
