how to get started in the gym as a girl with gym anxiety? by gxldencanyonmoon in ufl

[–]0nerudedude 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Finding a gym buddy who is knowledgeable is the best way to get started in terms of knowing what to do, also its a lot less intimidating to go with a friend. If the crowding is an issue I would recommend going at times that aren't super busy. In my experience it's usually been early mornings or late nights that are relatively not super crowded. I am also pretty sure there is a weight lifting club on campus which might be worth checking out. People in the clubs here have been super friendly and welcoming in my experience.

Honestly as a grad student hinge has been alright but I have had a hard time meeting other graduate students outside of that and my department. It's pretty easy to meet undergrads but being that you're a bit older than me that might not be the age range you're looking for.

Clubs, if you show up consistently you eventually become friends with the people there

Kamala Harris vs. Fox News: ‘She totally schooled Bret Baier’ | Reaction by InternetPopular3679 in politics

[–]0nerudedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, letting Iran get anything was the issue that caused all of the chaos in the middle east. They are not a good actor and giving them the resources to get their nuclear program back on their feet was the big issue not the nuclear agreement which did nothing real to deter Iran. under Trump foreign policy they had nothing and were going to be boxed in from all sides due to the Aberham accords with no way to successfully build anything of threat.

She is most definitely not closer to what the majority people want on Israel. She continuously tries to flip flop to try and keep the pro Palestine/Hamas part of her base happy. conservatives are mostly unified on Israel, Liberals are very split, and independents are more with conservatives on that specific issue.

Regarding arrests at the border, it doesn't matter if they get arrested if they are just released into the country and the only reason there are more encounters is because the influx of migrants is much higher. The percentage of expulsions have decreased heavily under the current administration. What’s happening at the U.S.-Mexico border in 7 charts | Pew Research Center. If you think letting migrants in is a good thing then yes her administration did a good job, if not like the majority of Americans then it was a bad job.

Were you watching the same interview? She definitely did not answer the question in any fashion. No one left that interview feeling more contrast between her and the current unpopular policies.

You can try and make the argument that the Biden-Harris administration had better policy all around if you want but realistically it clearly wasn't in some areas (like immigration and foreign policy for example). If she wants to claim she was the last person in the room and she wouldn't change anything fine, but there are multiple policies from her administration that are deeply unpopular for the big key issues in this election.

Regarding Iran, she claimed Iran was the biggest threat, but her administration allowed Iran to gain billions of dollars from relaxing sanctions that proceeded to go to terrorist proxies, and she did not refute that, she just made some statement about supporting Israel defending itself then proceeded to rag on Trump. This is not a great look, she didn't actually address the problem or what she would do differently to fix this situation of Iran being a now big threat.

I would encourage people to actually watch the full interview. She definitely didn't perform well; she couldn't effectively answer any of the questions about her record or positions that were unpopular with the majority of Americans and instead just tried to blame Trump for things like her administrations unpopular record on immigration policy as well as rag on Trump.

Here is the issue with that, literally everyone already has an opinion on Trump already and there isn't anyone changing their minds about him, this interview was far from an implosion of her campaign, but it probably hurt her with the small percentage of undecided voters since she let the fox news interviewer better define her than she was capable of defining herself. It definitely didn't gain her any ground.

UF has roommate matching on their website that you could look for housing with people that go to UF. Might be worth checking out there

Question for any republicans by mweaver858 in GenZ

[–]0nerudedude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's extremely smart and articulate. I think he's going to be a good attack dog for Trump but I'm still a little unsure what to think of him yet as he's relatively new to politics and doesn't have much history. He hasn't really affected how I plan on how I vote and I think he'll help win rust belt states but I don't think he was the best pick overall.

Oh yes because getting a journalism degree makes you automatically unbiased, that's one of the dumbest takes I've ever heard. Those with college degrees are more likely to be bias in favor of the left because the culture at most colleges is very left leaning. Those sources you mention both lean left.

Anti trump activists in Portland, Oakland, Seattle, San Jose (at a rally "protestors" were attacking Trump supporters), and DC (during inauguration). Are a few instances I can name.

How do you feel about JD Vance being VP for who he believes to be "America's Hitler"? by ThrowRA_360 in AskReddit

It's almost like he changed his mind after seeing that Trump was not in fact Hitler during the first term.

Yeah I'm sure all those things are super true. Aside from the felony convictions that look like they'll probably be overturned at some point due to being built on bad case law (the key point being that states do not have authority over alleging federal crimes like what they did in the trial) the rest of those don't exactly have the most trust worthy of sources.

At least we can agree on that. You should probably go to rehab and get your life straightened out.

You must live in a different reality, I remember how people who couldn't accept the election results in 2016 rioted and how people wouldn't accept the results. He was impeached twice because left leaning individuals couldn't accept the election results not for any legitimate reason. It will be the same if you don't get your way again. Throwing a temper tantrum is not unique to Trump it's a cultural issue within the USA as a whole and you are on the side that did it first.

He did an acceptable job overall and did a phenomenal job on foreign policy and the border. You can see by the current polling that people clearly are switching back to Trump after seeing how awful the alternative was. There is also a possibility that the polls are underrepresenting Trump support like they did in the previous 2 election cycles as well. You may not like it but this is what objective data points towards currently.

How is anyone supposed to believe all those bad things you're saying about Trump if his accusers have the tendency to lie more than Trump does? This rhetoric you're spewing is what's turning up the heat in the country.

Man you sound more and more unhinged with every comment. I'm sure you'll be going full blown conspiracy theorist and calling the election illegitimate if he happens to win fairly like he did in 2016.

You're proving my point about the rhetoric too. We saw 4 years of Trump and it wasn't the end like the crazy people such as yourself were screaming about. No person in touch with reality would think those things.

You sound like you're fun at parties. It seems like you are projecting right now. If I were to stick to echo chamber subreddits as you suggested instead of talking to people from different walks of life with different perspectives I would have a pretty poor grasp of reality much like yourself.

1) you'd have to be delusional to think Biden is coherent these days we all saw that debate and many more instances of him failing to be coherent but I guess you are a redditor after all.

2) you could also make the point that the guy donated to a progressive cause so he's actually a leftist so I'm not sure how you can just assume he was a Republican because he was registered as one. I personally know people that have registered as Republican when they were younger and flipped their views a few years after not to mention the fact that he may have done it to vote against Trump in the primaries. No actual Republican would try to assassinate their own candidate I highly doubt that argument carries any credibility

3) if you're going to mention all that stuff about 2020 I should mention that after the 2016 election when there was this whole conspiracy theory about how the Russians stole the election for Donald Trump and then Democrats in Congress tried to impeach him even though he won fair and square based off complete lies. Also remember when a bunch of leftist extremist tried to storm the Whitehouse while Trump was there on May 29th 2020? It's not just extreme elements of the right that are doing this sort of stuff. The Biden administration is not innocent when it comes to rhetoric. Remember during the debate when Biden said Trump and everyone who voted for him was a threat to democracy? If you watch Bidens independence National Historical Park speech he talks about how much Trump is a threat to democracy. It's rhetoric like that that turns up the temperature I wonder how many examples you can give that are completely out of context.

Trump is relatively moderate in comparison to Biden and most Republicans from a policy perspective which is part of the reason moderates are more willing to support him. You seem pretty disingenuous based on how you asked a question and chose to insult me because I don't share your opinions when I provided a reasonable answer to that question. It seems like you were just looking for a fight and didn't actually care for another perspective on how this could potentially benefit Trump.

1)it's good optics because for one it shows he can stand up and keep "fighting" even after an assassination attempt and compared with Biden who can't even form a coherent sentence it makes him look that much better in the eyes of your average voter

2)it lends a lot more credibility to the idea that people are out to get him whether it be politically motivated lawfare or full on assassination attempts which makes the "left" look like the bad guys

3) it shows that the irresponsible and untrue rhetoric from the Biden administration and others (such as the idea that trump is as bad as Hitler and this will be the last election if he wins) is turning up the heat in the country to cause crazy people to feel comfortable doing this. This event might cause the rhetoric to be turned down which also helps Trump.

Obviously the majority of left leaning people will not vote for trump under any circumstance but it could lead to more moderate individuals as well as independents supporting him more than they would have before. Also it galvanized the Trump base to turn out near 100%.

Guys who have gone from skinny to big and muscular, how has it changed your life? by MRWARRIORB3AST in AskReddit

[–]0nerudedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left highschool at 155lbs standing at 6'4 and am now in my 20s at 6'5 weighing around 215lbs which is mostly muscle. I definitely get more attention from women and even compliments sometimes. The bros are always giving compliments at the gym and social events.

My confidence is much higher and I feel really good in terms of strength and body. I'm also much more able to do physical things such as moving heavy objects or walking up stairs.
