yeah. redemption arcs are possible, but chickie needs to spend a few decades in the wilderness atoning through grass roots organizing and on-the-fucking-ground direct action.

“ethel, get them damn kids hitched up to the truck! they pull slow and we gonna be late!”

bread and circus.

“Allowing this regime to enrich in the future would be an affront to all those murdered by the regime since this war started…” Graham continued…

fuck. you. ladybug graham, you literal waste of oxygen. and which regime are you talking about? ours or theirs?

agreed. too many americans seem oblivious to the deep generational rage that america has earned from the globe with its corporate mob protectionism.

As perfectly stated by American Major General Smedley Butler…

stupidity, incompetence, greed and avarice… perhaps not the ideal way for the US to end its global colonialism, but its sure as fuck not an unexpected way.

best of luck to all my fellow human people out there in the world, always.

clean cuts - thanks for the tldr.

well, peeps. its been a “fun”(for the least charitable definition of the word) ride.

naked mafia in the wh with really expensive toys to use against its foreign mafia peers never really sounded like a fun time but, hey… here we are. I mean, executing economic hit jobs on europe (the latest one is ballsy) and birthing a trump lead neo-axis vs whatever is left of the world. impressive shot.

I dunno, will there be a flash of intellectual and emotional reflection just before the state round exits the front - or perhaps just the flash and an afterwind.

I think I’ll go hug some people more.

and a nice set of silver bracelets.

no shit. god forbid there could be space to get some important progressive agendas passed here. as the kids say “let the man cook”. we can burn him at the stake later, if need be.

but at least it is what it says on the tin. no pretense. prepare accordingly.

Kratsios, 39, cut his teeth in the world of private industry, spending much of his early career at Thiel Capital, a venture capital firm founded by Silicon Valley stalwart Peter Thiel.

jfc, not this vampire again.

there are long standing radicals on the .ml instances, to be sure. I would place the bulk of the current lemmy.ml userbase between Democratic Socialist and Social Democrat (with a strong, vocal splash of authoritarians mixed in there somewhere).

lemmygrad.ml and hexbear are often otherworldly - interesting to watch, ocassionally interesting to engage, but always entertaining if you can pick out the salient arguments from the confusion. love federated systems :-)

probably too much of a sweeping generalization there. I would say (with zero evidence other than my interactions) that after the great reddit migration, those who might say this are likely in the minority.

I cannot defend this other than “the feels”, but hey… I think lemmy.ml got moderated a little with the influx of cooler heads.

Make their spouses lose their job for being an ICE spouse

I suspect a non-trivial percentage of the spouses may be victims in abusive reltionships - the loss of employment could make it harder to extract themselves and their kids from the situation.

make their kids ask uncomfortable questions.

as long as the kids are not harrased and they start asking because daddy is a piece of shit? 100% 👍

Make their neighbors avoid them

ab-so-fucking-lutely!

Tor FTW. 100%

Firefox and noscript. indispensable.

the threat was more effective than the trigger pull. trust the orange idiot to show the world our bare ass.

global cooperation is the answer, but no… assuming a zero sum game (a game america is ill prepared to “win”) is the mantra of decades of psychotic us leadership. so tired of this planet sized madhouse.

yes, they are smaller, aerobic, slow twitch muscle fibers. my endurence comment was more related to delivering oxygen to the muscle, but was sloppy. was waiting for someone to poke me over it :-)

smaller functional muscle fibre size is one of the reasons you will often see very svelte endurance athletes.

you can build both slow twitch and the 2 types of fast twitch muscle fibers simultaneously with well planned workouts, but dont worry too much about this. your body will adapt to whatever you train for, just keep a good mix of everything you have mentioned so far and your body will respond.

never neglect the cardio though. a resonable mix of HIIT cardio will add aerobic capacity without sacrificing muscle mass or size. your high rep. punches with 16oz gloves will take care of shoulder endurance.

if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.

“You grew up in South Africa,” Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News host, said in the new interview. “You lived during a period of Apartheid. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people, to be made out to be this monster, that must be really hard for you.”

motherf*cker, you and your ilk were the oppressors. everything pre and post indicates that it was perfectly fine with you and yours. “white” washing at its finest. now, gtfo!

thanks for the trench report - super grateful for it. will look at him a little more seriously because actual empathy that straddles class is a good start. if he can articulate that the class struggle is real, the average american has effectively lost and that he has concrete plans in concert with others to fix it… thats the first hole punch in a ticket to ride.
