@DrInsensitive Also, the videos were pretty cool.
I'm betting that A-10s strafing the border would change the dynamics of illegal immigration, as well.
It's not about the actual hits. It's about what people think will happen to them.

The US military has stopped sinking drug boats, amid a debate whether it curbed the drug supply.
I don't care if sinking the boats curbed the drug supply. IMO, the main benefit of sinking the boats was to establish the principle:
We can sink the boats.
We can skip the hand-wringing and just sink the boats.

@SwipeWright She's never been in the weight room at the same time as the guys?
I'll bet she has.
She can't be this stupid.
She can be this weak.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Stephanie White grew up playing on girls' teams before and in high school, and the women's teams in college and the WNBA. She had a wildly successful career as a female athlete, and now coaches a WNBA team.
Yet she has no idea why female sports exist.

@JohnGoldman @MiKiHoPrime Who. Fucking. Cares?

Guys what are we doing here. 180 mg a week for the vast majority of people is not THERAPY.
It’s a cycle.
Dudes hitting 1450 test on “TRT” is a joke. That’s Supra physiological. Which is fine at times. But it ain’t trt and we shouldn’t say it is.

I’m not a doc but imo the standard “cookie cutter” TRT protocol should should look less like 200mg 1x a week with an AI And more like 180mg split 3-7x doses a week, no AI, HCG, and 5mg tadalafil

@JohnGoldman Who gives a shit? Why is this a religious thing for you?

Hunter-gatherers are lean and walk 8–15 km per day.
You'd expect them to burn a lot more calories than Westerners, but they don't.
A landmark study found that Hadza hunter-gatherers have roughly the same daily energy expenditure as Westerners after adjusting for body size.
One reason is that despite walking a lot, they also rest a lot.
The Hadza aren't less sedentary than Westerners - they break up their sitting with more frequent movement.
Another reason is the constrained energy expenditure model - the body adapts to high physical activity and starts burning fewer calories for the same activity.

@AntiLeftMemes I don't date angry lesbians, either. But I don't make a big deal about it.

@AntiLeftMemes Cool. I'd be glad i actually live in a serious country.

@DorianB112 "I have tendinitis, but the guys at the bath house sure do love my biceps."
Instagram "bodybuilding" has got to go.
English
@rdoda8 @DorianB112 And performance.
Unless you have a genuine quad deficiency and you do both lifts, you're just mirror training. You're not training to be strong and do things. You're training for the mirror. That means you're gay AF.
English
@DorianB112 True for quads, but barbell does build whole character.
English
@DorianB112 The barbell back squat isn't a quad exercise.
It uses the quads, obviously.
Stop training for the mirror and start learning how your body actually works.

@deaflibertarian Time to get a shirt that says, "Fuck off. I'm deaf."
English
One silly fear I have as a deaf person that contributes to my social anxiety is not realizing someone has said, "Excuse me," while I'm shopping. Years ago, people seemed more willing to wait their turn. Now it feels like people want to grab things the same time as you do. I become hyperaware of everyone's facial expressions to see if they're talking to me while trying to finish my shopping, and that constant vigilance overwhelms my nervous system, turning a simple errand into a stressful experience.
I miss 2 AM Walmart.

@CarlPham9000 @lalovestrump If you choose not to sell merchandise, when your system fails, you'd better have a system that doesn't fail.
English
@lalovestrump In their defense this is how they control inventory these days. If they sell the bottle to you without it going through their software, someday they'll come up 1 bottle short and not know what happened.

Target is so lame….
I was buying a chilled bottle of wine and the cashier scanned it and nothing came up
I told her the price that was on the shelf … but she called some guy over and then he goes … “yeah if it’s not scanning we can’t sell it”
They couldn’t just radio and have someone check the price quick ?
It’s an example of how lame things can be when overly corporate
It’s the first time I’ve seen a store refuse to sell something in their store …

@wil_da_beast630 It's hard to watch people and nations self-destruct, when the answer is so obvious.

The West has to reject slave morality, "servant leadership," etc or likely fall.
Fuck and have kids. Who cares about the impact of climate change on South Sudan? If boats full of young male warriors from rival states sail uninvited toward your shores, SINK them.
"International law" says you cannot do that? Well, on the 'equally real' front, the Goddess Athena just told me you can.

@joshxhowie @Telegraph I'm anti-trans, too. It's a destructive fad.
Feeling odd is part of the human condition, that is not solved by self-destructive or antisocial (aka sociopathic) behavior.
Celebrate feeling different. Don't try to chop it off. You can't.
English
Come on @Telegraph, Sophie Cunningham is not ‘anti trans.’ She’s against men participating in women’s sports.
You’re meant to be better than that.
English
@wolfstrength And if my response is that empathizers need to be ethically, systematically bullied, for their own good and for all of ours?
English
Your response to this tells me if you are more oriented towards truth (systemization) or towards compassion and caring at the expense of truth (empathization).
I doubt anyone who replied in the latter way can justify why it’s ok for them to care about it enough and reply negatively to Christiaan and correct HIM, but it’s not OK for him to (respectfully and without embarrassing or mocking or even identifying anyone), not correct THEM.
The answer is because they see the overweight person as someone who needs their protection from even a gentle well meaning correction that isn’t even aimed at any one person specifically, instead of a fully capable human with resilience and agency.

No hate on obese people in the gym but I just don’t think lateral raises are a very good use of your time if you weigh 340 pounds

@HeidiBriones As dumb as anyone who supports men in costume beating up women with impunity.

@FischerKing64 Grow up and stop being irrationally fearful of other people.
Then alcohol seems stupid. And I say that as someone who used to drink heavily.
If you get rid of anxiety, you can't even catch a buzz. You feel nothing until drunk. It's anxiety that alcohol seems to relieve briefly.
English
Alcohol in moderation is a social lubricant that helps people make friends and find mates. It makes life a little more fun. In an era where we hear about people being lonely and isolated, crusades against booze probably do more harm than good.
Camus@newstart_2024
There is no safe level of alcohol. Chris Williamson cited the largest Lancet study ever done on the subject. Every single drink moves you closer to death a little faster. Zero is the only number that doesn’t. He didn’t pretend people will stop. It’s the same trade-off as eating a cheeseburger, you know it’s not optimal, but it tastes good in the moment, so you do it anyway. Clear data. Honest cost-benefit. No moralizing.
