The government is directly controlled by their individual billionaires.

I Always thought he just wanted to flush xitter, it never occurred to me that he was actually trying to succeed.

I’ve found myself scrolling through stories or reels or whatever a particular platform calls it and coming across something even slightly polarizing and heading right for the comments looking for opinions I find stupid or incorrect and then-

realizing I’m falling for the algorithm, deleting my half written comment and moving on.

This is pure insanity, but at least I can see the kind of insane thinking that allowed Germans to live their comfortable lives just a few kilometers away from concentration camps. When you say “Hamas is from Palestine, therefore Palestine is a target” and you manage to convince yourself that infant civilians are an acceptable casualty then you are no better.

Yes, that’s how the metaphor follows through. The fire Nation destroys the air nomads the way the Chinese destroyed Tibet.

Clearly you’ve never had rich friends, they’re notorious for having everything and never using it.

“Oh man, I didn’t know you play guitar. That’s a beautiful Orange double stack and Thunderverb.”

“I bought that when I tried to learn guitar, haven’t used it since.”

I feel like relentless bullying is in this truck’s owner’s future.

I think at this point I only ever go to fast food places when a friend who loves fast food places is over and we happen to go get food. Happens maybe once every couple of years.

I think I’m at an age that if I want burgers or barbecue or something unhealthy or greasy is rather make it myself and have it be extra dirty and less expensive.

Any sort of exercise that removes the thumbs and metacarpophalangeal joints from the equation, if you can close your hand, lock your grip and hang off of your skeleton you’ll only add so much to your grip. There are actual crimping blocks and rolling handles you can attatch to weights to strengthen your grip.

Emil Abrahamsson seems to think that hangboarding is the answer to this problem, he suggests holding a hangboard without lifting your total weight off of the ground on the smallest ledge you can manage, twice a day, every day, to turn your grip into iron. He recently beat a lot of pound for pound grip championship records so I think his training techniques are worth paying attention to.

That being said, climbing itself might be the answer since these elite dudes routinely hang off of the absolute tips of their fingers while lifting their bodies up a wall and even for someone who can deadlift a shitton getting used to lifting your weight on crimps takes months to achieve.

It’s also worth saying that you have very few muscles in your hand and grip strength is more a game of strengthening tendons and ligaments, which takes a lot longer than strengthening muscles, which might be why one of the guys with the most world records in grip strength right now is 70+ years old.

If climbing has taught me anything, it’s that lifting (deadlifting in this case) is no indication of grip strength.

Ignorami. They’ve been propagandized into hating anti-fascists, that’s why they shortened it to antifa.

People who may before they turn 24 30 are weird

FTFY

I try real hard to not only change my mind but vocally (typographically) acknowledge when I was wrong because it’s so goddamnit rare and infuriating.

Actually I find Lemmy to be quite reasonable and pleasant to frequent. It’s indeed very leftist.

French it’s my first language and it’s definitely ‘Omelette du fromage’.

As a millennial, I have no problem with z or x, my issue is with the generation that got theirs and made sure the following generations would never be able to. The pieces of shit who grew up preaching peace and love and then voted for Reagan. At least their kids hated them so much that we got great music out of it.

WELL FUCKING OBVI-

Oh right, I forgot some people are really pulling for this fossil fuel think to pull through.

Sorry partner, I just can’t stop seeing a bunch of dumpy folks playing make-believe with dollar store toys.

As a metalhead, no, idiots continuing to play make-believe during a pandemic was not metal. This was idiotic.

Anybody own a guillotine?
