Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.
Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.
I cant say the same for a lot of other people.
Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store “Bazaar Boutique Emporium”
Which is basically all white linen clothing.
Theres a hairdressers near me that is “Bespoke hair artistry” or some other pretentious bullshit.
I sometimes say “I could care less, but not by much”
Good Evening Sir, Welcome to Lemmy. We dont do escapism or banter here. Please feel free to enjoy any of our flavours of outrage. The “software privacy” is quite popular, we are quite well known for billionaires and capitalism, of course we do a range of modern outrage classics including American politics, environmental issues and American healthcare which let me assure you isnt just for our American customers.
The specials board currently contains a lovely selection of Shit Israel has done, Shit Musk has done and Companies making money off advertisements hate you blocking advertisements.
Can I start you off with some I dont own games I buy on Steam! or perhaps some advice on why Linux is superior to literally everything.
I laugh every time I see the words “literally unplayable” because of minor headache
Started with Atari 2600, now VR simrig racing.
Pear goes great with strong cheeses in general so its probably going to work.
Well I mean, it IS a step up from my current jobs policy which is “Yes you need a car to get here, no we arent providing one and if you don’t have one you don’t have a job”
I still maintain that I wouldnt be sad if the ringleaders of these operations started turning up in ditches.
If you want to avoid squishing your junk, I recommend buying some elasticated boxers that are just a LITTLE bit tighter than you would buy for every day wear. Keep your business pulled in close and tight.
As for avoiding workouts… theres a lot to unpack there. The short version is “You have the DNA you have” no amount of a “Bikini body” workout is going to give you tits or a BBL booty and any workout that mentions “Targeted fat loss” is bullshit. Situps do not burn belly fat. Workouts for bodybuilding and workouts for functional strength are different. Workouts for cardio and workouts for conditioning are different.
But what might build a bunch of muscle and functional strength for a 60kg woman might only qualify as a warmup for me, programs written for women will likely be different because (THIS IS NOT SEXISM) men on average carry more muscle as a percentage and less fat. Workouts programmed for women tend to have more cardio and lower weight. Not to say that you couldnt do that workout and hit it with intensity and get results, but its likely to be suboptimal.
If you’re interested in learning more about exercise science Dr Mike Isratel of Renaissance Periodization on YT has some fantastic and easy to digest videos (not exactly geared for beginners but theres some very quality insights if you find the right videos.) As well as James Smith, Dr Pak, Jeff Nippard and their associated friends.
A lot of the whole thing about women avoiding exercises because they dont want to look more masculine is ridiculous. Its like putting $50 in a savings account and worrying about the tax implications of your future millions, its not going to happen by accident.
A high end tablet press can make over 1.5 million tablets an hour with no additional consumables or ingredients, Its purely mechanical. Conventional tablets will definitely be cheaper to manufacture but not to the degree that they are sold at in retail markets the whole sales chain of gel capsules are deliberately marking up the product because if you have trouble swallowing conventional tablets you WILL pay the markup.
You mean this Anime? thats full and free on YT.
Id argue that the Anime is a better Streetfighter 2 movie, The live action is just peak 90s ridiculous fun. Also RIP Raul Julia.
Its a case by case basis. Local news is probably a “yeah ok” or a niche hobby website that isnt an AI generated thinly veiled excuse for amazon affiliate links.
National organisation that still puts most of their shit behind a paywall and bombards me with bullshit. LOL, fuck off.
I worked with a guy that if he slept in or ran late for work tossed his gym gear on instead of his work clothes and ran into the office apologising and went to the bathroom to get changed.
People thought that he was a fitness NUT and he always stayed back to make up the time so he was called dedicated. In truth I knew he trained after work and regularly stayed up mega late playing COD and slept through his alarm.
Id say the one thing I kind of disagree with here is the emails. If I’m at my computer and the email says “Are you able to handle this 15 minute job for me by EOD?” I respond immediately “Yeah, I can fit that in.” and then go back to whatever it was I was doing and handle it later.
If someone is asking me to do a big job I dont reply immediately and go do some prep work for the big job and email them an hour later. “Not a problem, Ill get on it ASAP.”
If you respond and get tasks done immediately sometimes it makes them think you must be in the middle of something when you dont. When someone gives you a big task that will take 4 hours and they check in on you 3 hours after you reply to the email and you’re almost finished, it puffs up your ability.
But in general I agree, responding to emails is a great tool for managing perceptions and expectations.
No way, Ive been on the antidepressant merry-go-round before. They were not a pleasant experience for me.
Chewing nicotine gum.
Havent had a smoke in years but trying to give the gum up means I turn into a raging asshole.
If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.
Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists…
