    Is this some kind of modernized take on the ‘Dining philosophers problem’?

    Guy doesn’t need friends to get himself into an deadlock.

    The alpha male, ladies. Can’t even unhook a bra strap with one hand because he’s too busy holding his laptop and drink. Can’t go down on you because he has a cigar which could leave you with a nasty burn. He’s also absent-minded, and didn’t remember to wear a shirt. Look out! What’s that on his head?! Oh, wait. It’s his hair.

      Wake up 4 in the morning, go for a run, and then to the gym. Don’t eat breakfast or lunch because that just interrupts your nonstop hustle. That sort of thing.

    The guy may be a poser but this is such a ‘I don’t drink or smoke’ post.

    It’s a martini glass, you can hold it with your pinkie. It’s very easy to smoke and drink with one hand. You can even do it with a full sized glass:

    Then, when you want to smoke, you extend the two fingers holding the cigar/cigarette and you can take the end in your mouth. You only need your thumb and two lower fingers to hold the glass.

        I think what we have here is a case of ‘haters gonna hate’.

        I’m sure the guy is a douche, based on my complete stereotyping him from one picture, so I’m sure there’s something more substantive to criticize him for than ‘he’s using both of his hands.’

    Shouldn’t he have a catboy in a maid outfit holding his drink/laptop for him?

    What’s the point of having that torso if you’re not pulling catboys in maid outfits?

    Seriously, why go to the effort?

    Can’t put the laptop down because he’s next to a pool to free up at least one hand.

    The best I can advise for him is to chew up the cigar and chase it down with the espresso martini. Then throw the laptop into the sea like a discus and get into the pool to wait for the authorities to charge him with littering.

    Eh, you might be able to puff the cigar without hands, depending on your diaphragm/facial strength.

    Also, this is apparently possible:

    I don’t get the grind mindset at all - look at me! Be like me! Bust ass 24/7, hustle hustle hustle, sleep is for losers, carbs are for losers, relationships that aren’t profitable are for losers… it’s all worth it though so you can be on vacation in some exotic place like me!!!.. (and not even be able to put work down for one second to enjoy your fucking drink and be oblivious of the views you worked for) Like who thinks this sounds awesome except 15 year old boys?

      carbs are for losers

      No one who actually works out properly say this, it’s the exact opposite. You need a ton of carbs if you work out

        Idk, I work out a lot and have done pretty well on low carb. I would gas if I did, like, a crossfit workout. But my top end power and all day endurance were the same or better, and I had some really cut abs.

        For myself, I found there was really no downside. Except no beer and pizza. So not worth it.

          Sounds like you are a beginner or intermediate and never did a real bulk before. Once you reach a certain FFMI you can’t really build more muscle mass without carbs

            I’ve certainly never done a real bulk before. But I mostly train for strength, not hypertrophy, since my goal is rock climbing, not bodybuilding. So my reps in any of the big lifts have almost never gone over about 5

      Andrew Tate basically crystalized this whole thing… by pretending he was Morpheus from the Matrix.

      His solution to ‘escape the Matrix’… was to be the most diehard bluepill imaginable.

      Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.

          Fair point, fats can easily replace it, but it still is rather useful for when quick bursts of energy are needed and the feeling part as well.

            How come carbs are expensive?
            Dried goods(pasta, rice, buckwheat, oats) and vegetables(potatoes, carrots) are one of the cheapest foods available. Potatoes being one of the most satiating foods as well.

            Dont get me wrong, im not criticizing your choice. Just curious over the reasoning behind it.

    He can defintely still drink through the other side of his mouth. He can also puff and chuff on the cigar without his hands. His laptop is all voice activated and he’s trained it to understand his slurred and mumbled speech.

    You can hold the cigar with a forefinger and drink.

    Just as messed up that this guy is apparently on vacation yet needs to be available on his work laptop. Has to be an American.
