Male He/Him, cis-het,
Absolutely, that one sounds easiest to me, assuming 135 isn’t too tough for most people that regularly exercise, all you need to do is add a few pounds. I’m about 150-160 lbs so I can probably do that one, definitely can’t do the rest yet, coming a bit closer to the Deadlift one tho. Also that really sucks what happened to your back, was it recent?
Khrushchev once spoke to Zhou Enlai. Khrushchev says A big difference between the USSR and PRC is that I rose to power from a proletarian family, meanwhile you ascended to power from the privileged Mandarin class of China. Zhou Enlai replied that they have a striking similarity, that they are both traitors to their class. Where you come from means less than where you stand on the issue of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Zhou Enlai was not harmed by the PRC for his family’s wealth, he was welcomed with open arms as a friend of the Proletarian Revolution.
Reading Left Wing Communism rn and Lenin says every worthwhile Revolutionary needs to learn to properly retreat in an orderly fashion. Only left-comms think that retreat is unnecessary or not respectable, true Revolutionaries know that they have more power in mixing the legal and illegal forms of resistance, not learning to retreat from an unwinnable battle means you’ll probably perish. To paraphrase a quote of his, He is not a genius who never makes a mistake, but the one who makes small mistakes and learns to easily and quickly remedy these mistakes becomes a genius with experience.
Yea nicotine is addictive, working on quitting now. And also I’m not very big on smoking bud bc I agree it burns up fast and seems like a waste of money. I live in a legal state so I do get stuff that I know isn’t gonna kill me bc it’s a fake cartridge or something(a huge problem in the US that’s not talked about, one of marijuana’s biggest obstacles to pass because plenty of people associate marijuana with those Mario Carts or whatever fake shit is out there bc of a lack of regulation.) only way I know to genuinely save bud from being used up too quickly is those vaporization bags. You put a tiny tiny amount of weed in the vaporizer and it fills up a bag that you inhale. You don’t need to inhale the whole thing in a minute or anything, you can pace it out over a few minutes. Or if you know how you can gravity bong but it’s a bit advanced for me and I never did it
Well, to each their own. There’s this one huge guy who always does front squats and my friend and I never did them before. He taught us proper form as well as tips on how to maximize efficiency of exercise. I don’t expect to look exactly like him within 3 years or anything but over time I can definitely gain body mass and gain weight in a healthy way.
Honestly not good. A very close family member has a pretty serious disease that’s turning into a disability slowly. It’s disheartening to see and leaves me mentally and emotionally drained. Tough to feel like myself sometimes. I’m finding solace in spending time with family who also love and care for this close family member. I am personally atheist but I find myself praying because I have no other real way of feeling that I’m doing anything for them besides helping them to the bathroom or making them tea or food throughout the day. I know deep down that nothing I can do will help them and only their doctor’s actions will do anything meaningful. I feel not useless by any means but like a companion in a video game, just helping along w tiny tasks while they deal w the brunt of it. I haven’t wanted to talk about it for a while as it’s been progressing for about just over a year now, but I feel so sad and just empty now that I wanna at least type this out. Just wanted to get that out there a little. Sorry if that was a bit depressing lol but it feels good to talk about it a little
I’ll defend all of these despite my better judgement lmaoo. West wing is entertaining. That’s it, it isn’t smart or informative or funny or anything it tries to be. But it’s still entertaining. I can watch 40 minutes of it, thinking all 40 minutes of it was horseshit and full of bad writing but I wanna see what happens next so I can laugh at it. Mad men is very very accurate for the 60s. A few family members lived through the 60s and they said watching the show was like a mini-time machine. So if it appears a bit sexist or racist on the surface it’s because that’s what they want to show you about the 60s what commercials and TV shows from that era wouldn’t show. If they show corporate greed and childish behavior from the highest up in charge, it’s because the media of US 60s wouldn’t have ever considered that to be ok to talk about in the open, so in a way I consider the show to be a time capsule of the 1960s USA, everything made out to be so perfect and cute while in reality there’s a circuitry of (mostly) unspoken hierarchies. Sopranos is Sopranos, a masterpiece of digital storytelling
It’s upsetting for 2 reasons. 1.) not true. 2.) US has awful benefits for seniors. Some of the worst in the “developed” or “civilized” world or any other vaguely white supremacist phrase used to describe the Western world, but I digress, US has a high age for benefits for seniors (which they actually raised recently to exclude more elderly people) and the US is so dangerous in different ways that the US gov essentially doesn’t want the population to reach the age to get the meager benefits of social security. Whether it’s the dangerous gun culture, the rampant alcoholism and drug culture, the crime rates that occur due to high unemployment, Janet Yellen saying she wants unemployment even higher for the sake of the interest rate. The disgustingly exorbitant prices of medical care and insurance. These things all affect life expectancy so that people don’t live to old age. China doesn’t have those issues. I’m not dumb, obviously people do drugs and drink alcohol in China, but it’s like child’s play compared to Miami or Vegas or NYC. And yes there exist some poor people in China that are old, but they are not in objective poverty, like so many are in the USA.
