<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Sorry, Love. I don't think I'm gonna be able to beat this one. From what I've gathered from the others, this is about the strongest lock there is.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Mm, perhaps their susceptibility to learned helplessness. As a general trend, it seems to be about as influential as other metaphysical beliefs—I just happened to be curious about your thoughts.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It's definitely a way to get a pointer on someone's character.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What trends have you noticed?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

People who don't believe in destiny, or at least believe it to be insignificant like I do, tend to have ideals, goals, and plans with the motivation to actually act on them. Not universal, but a trend nonetheless.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Mmm... swimming is pretty fun. I don't love lifting, since it makes my arms hurt.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

How the mighty have fallen.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You're just a cardio machine, then, huh?... Figuratively speaking.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Perhaps our perception on our own ability to change the world around us inherently alters that very ability.

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Pretty much.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

What do you mean?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Which makes sense when you consider it. Intuitively.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Your mom thinks that I'd be able to get past it if I was as strong as I used to be.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shrugs*
It's all sort of cardio when you get down to it. I like swimming because of the resistance. I guess a slow jog has a similar effect.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Is she right?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Usually.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Do any gymnastics?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

It does. I typically study the practical effects rather than the ideological impact.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

But about you?

<Snipped quote by Host>

In this instance, sort of? I wouldn't be able to get out because of the strength I had, but if I still could do a certain thing that I used to be able to do, then there would be a way around it. So as usual, she is at least half-correct.
