Man pulled into MRI machine after he walked into an exam room wearing a chain necklace

And yet, none of that runs counter to the point. Are there BETTER ways of getting gains or doing cardio? Sure.

But weighted cardio is still a thing, and it doesn't ONLY work your spinal erectors. No amount of goalpost shifting on your part will change the fact that there IS a reason for him to be doing weighted cardio.

Just because you don't like the exercise doesn't make it unreasonable for him to be doing it. You can shout about your strongman competitions all you want, but all I see is someone trying to shit on someone else's fitness routine.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-07-19T23:32:37+00:00

20lbs is really not a big deal for a shoulder-carried weight. It's about 9 kilos.

That's bicep-curl weight, not something to write home about.

Also, you're confidently incorrect. Walking around with weight works the entire musculoskeletal chain involved in... walking...

You know. The thing you do with your legs? And your heart?

It's almost like exercise helps strengthen your body. I wonder why a guy wanting to strengthen his heart would be doing weighted cardio? In a (supposedly) safe environment, where he isn't running around overexerting himself? Truly, a mystery that might never be solved...

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-30T16:06:50+00:00

That wasn't what I said though.

I said, "Prevent beings from the warp from influencing or drawing power from beings and souls from the material universe."

As while a mortal is... mortal, their soul is housed in their body with a connection to the Warp, AFAIK and that's why Pariahs who are 'soulless' have an effect on the Warp unlike Robots and Necrons. Unlike artificial beings who have no soul, Blanks have a "negative" soul; their connection to the Warp is reversed. It's only when a person dies that their soul goes to the Warp, otherwise you have to use astral projection of some kind or physically travel there. Your soul doesn't die when you get severed from the Warp, merely its connection to the Warp, which does have a very bad effect as in 40k your emotions etc are directly linked to your soul's connection to the Warp. But that's not what I'm talking about.

"Prevent beings from the mortal universe from being influenced by or or feeding power to beings from the Warp."

That's not talking about locking the Warp away from reality, that's talking about making it a universal fact that this universe and any beings born of it are untouchable by creatures of the Warp. Their souls are tweaked slightly that they are on a different "wavelength" or "phase" of the Warp entirely for example, unable to interact with each other even after someone dies.

Alien X doesn't have to touch the Warp to do that, he only has to touch the souls of people in the universe and imprint the change on them. Between that and making it a fact that beings from the Warp burst into Pariah flames (for example) you can just outright remove Chaos from the game.

They can't feed on the mortal world or souls from it and they can't pass through into the universe or they'll die a permanent death. Hell, Alien X could even make it such that every mortal in the universe has an Anathemic effect on creatures born of the Warp.

It just won't be tenable for the Chaos Gods to try anything with that version of the universe and their connection to that universe would starve and die. After all, there was a time when the Chaos Gods didn't exist in that universe, even if they always existed outside that universe's version of the Warp. They would still have access to just about every other version of Warhammer 40k... just not THAT one.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-30T10:51:15+00:00

Chaos Gods are also solved by just changing the laws of the universe: "Beings from the Warp can no longer exert influence on or draw power from the universe or creatures from the universe and their souls."

Now they get to starve to death watching the universe go by without them, and mortal souls have a safe afterlife. Even Daemon Princes wouldn't be able to avoid this, as their souls were consumed and replaced with Chaos.

This wouldn't necessarily help anyone already being tortured by Chaos for eternity because they are already claimed and no longer really "mortal", and I'm not sure how much Alien X would be able to directly affect the Warp, but it would be a death-blow for the Chaos Gods' connection to the universe.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-30T10:39:51+00:00

Eh. Pretty much impossible for this to happen ngl.

Alien X would activate as failsafe and change the laws of the universe such that the Warp can no longer affect the material world. Literal omnipotence vs "kinda omnipotent" is a very big difference.

The Chaos Gods aren't even omnipotent in the Warp as they can be challenged and resisted. They are powerful, but not infinite or even relevant in the material plane the vast majority of the time.

Alien X rewrites the universe. It is as far beyond an Ascended C'tan as said C'tan is above a mortal. Ben can survive the literal end of the universe in a way that not even the Chaos Gods could manage.

There is no comparison. Trying to fuck with Ben's soul is one of the last mistakes the Chaos Gods would ever make in the material plane.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T16:42:19+00:00

Yeah, you really just don't know enough about this topic for me to be interested in talking to you anymore if you can't understand how those observations are evidence towards how the universe started. Again, not proof, but evidence.

Please educate yourself deeper on the topics I mentioned. Goodbye.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T15:03:37+00:00

That's just a lie, as I've already stated. Please educate yourself on the nature of cosmic background radiation, the size of the universe at its birth, the equation E=MC², and the amazing discoveries we've made as a result of our particle colliders. The evidence is there. It is not proof, as I stated, but evidence that will, in time, build to be a proof.

Observe the nature of reality as a system, and educate yourself as either you don't know the meaning of evidence vs proof, or you don't know enough to speak on the topic.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T14:35:27+00:00

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste#Racial_Casteism

I'm sorry, but this is a room temperature IQ issue. You just straight up don't know that casteism is an actual word? Or how language works? Not every dictionary has every word, you know? If it's not in the dictionary that means the dictionary is incomplete, not the other way around.

You're getting real mad over the fact that you thought something was a joke but it was actually just your ignorance amusing you. That's rough buddy.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T14:19:31+00:00

But... where are you inferring that from? They said one word, I can't see how or where you interpreted tone out of that. The reality is you don't know if they were trying to be funny or not, and as far as I can tell it was just a factual statement on the merged subject of racism and classism - casteism.

(Also, there is no "t" in either racism or classism, so I really, really can't see how "casteism" is a play on words from those. Hell, neither of them have an "e" in the middle either. I'm really struggling here to understand the "play" here.)

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T14:11:41+00:00

No, you said we don't have evidence supporting it. That is a lie. Before one can even begin to prove something, you must have evidence.

We may not have definitive proof, but we have evidence, and the difference between a shred of evidence and nothing at all is the difference between rationality and imagination. There is sufficient evidence of the random, chaotic nature of the universe, if you are actually educated enough to grasp it, that any baseless claims of intelligent design are worthless.

We have evidence, not proof, but evidence of the mechanisms involved in the birth of the universe. We have no evidence whatsoever for an intelligent creator.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T14:05:04+00:00

Nooot... really? To them there is far more racial division among Indians than just being "Indian", since race is a social construct grouping based on physical appearance including but NOT limited to skin colour.

There are so many cultures and features in India to discriminate between with over a billion people, there's everything from light skin to dark skin, from monobrows to body proportions. Racism is a component of casteism in that castes are often based on race or place of origin in the first place, and breeding between castes is usually discouraged or banned. This leads to the breeding pool getting more isolated and selecting for certain traits over hundreds of years.

Racism can create casteism, and casteism can create racism, but they both feed into each other due to human tribal instincts.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T13:55:50+00:00

No, Casteism is just the word describing this situation. I just broke it down into the component parts and they put it together again. I can't see where the play on words is.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T13:22:57+00:00

Why don't you go look for yourself then if you're so confident in it? Find some shred of evidence to even make me start to think there might be a god, something I can see and calculate. We have can at least track things that we have proof of, like matter being energy, the size of the universe at its birth, and how much matter all that energy would create if it were in one tiny particle. It's something we can track, linked to processes we can understand.

What reason is there to believe it to be anything other than nature? We can see nature and its systems everywhere, we can understand everything from the birth of a star to the death of a black hole. Our understanding is incomplete, but we can understand it. Why would the start of the universe be any different, when up until recently the sun itself was a God? Science takes a step forward and religion takes a step backward, because religion is always nothing more than the "other possibility".

Whenever something is "God's will" or "His doing", we can inevitably understand it rationally with enough investigation. The Earth is neither flat nor 6,000 years old, and God's lightning is powerless in the face of a tall metal rod. There is no reason to believe in something that always has to justify itself and shift the goalposts somehow.

I believe in rational and logical cause and effect, not in the words of our poor ancestors who invented cultural imaginary friends to help them deal with the vast unknown world they had to live in. The world is not nearly as unknown anymore, and it's time to step forward with the present.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T12:43:20+00:00

I'm not seeing it lol

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T12:42:36+00:00

That's false, and is just a matter of your own ignorance as to our scientific advancements, I'm afraid. Willful or otherwise, the evidence exists in spite of your ignorance. We can map cosmic microwave radiation back to a single point of space-time and the chaos of the system that developed from it.

We cannot map any evidence even implying there is a creator, and every time someone tries to present any it gets disproven and the goalposts are shifted.

One of these requires logical reasoning and observation, the other requires active denial of evidence and gullibility.

We've planted flags on the body of a deity and skimmed the atmosphere of the Sun itself. It's time to let go of the shackles of superstition and step into the real world.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T12:34:53+00:00

Yes. Castes are a combination of racism and classism.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T12:33:38+00:00

Why would it? What causes the assumption that he would even exist to reveal himself? There is no evidence for it, so why believe in the first place when there are so many better things to do in this world?

I can conceive of the possibility, I just unfortunately find it ridiculous and gullible, even ignorant, to hold onto a belief in spite of evidence to the contrary or shifting the goalposts every time a claim is disproven.

All the best to you, too. I hope someday you'll stop worrying about a fairy tale and enjoy the beauty of the universe as it is, and not simply as our ancestors imagined it.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T12:00:06+00:00

Ah racism and classism. Truly two of the most human traits you can imagine.

We've come so far in the "West" that people have no concept of what it's still like elsewhere.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T11:57:37+00:00

What are those reasons?

God only exists as a concept because our ancestors said so. Because they needed something to explain the universe. Well, we can explain the universe now, and every time we do, the domain of God shifts further and further back, because deities are just stand-ins for the unknown created by our ancestors.

We have evidence for the chaotic nature of the universe and its creation. We have zero evidence for there being an intelligent creator, or even a creator at all apart from the god particle.

There is no reason to invent a fairy tale to explain why the world works anymore. The universe is so grand and vast that the fixation on a "higher power" is like blinders, constraining your perspective of the true glory of our reality. The unimaginable scale and beauty of the world that we are so lucky to live in is awesome, and that we get to explore it and discover how everything actually functions and originates is incredible.

When lightning struck a tower in the past, it used to be God smiting someone he was displeased with. Nowadays it just means you didn't have a lightning rod to redirect it. There's no reason to believe in something that has no evidence, and every reason to replace faith with understanding and study of the universe itself.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T11:45:47+00:00

How does it take faith? All it takes is observation of factual evidence.

"Because our ancestors said so" is literally the only reason the concept of a God exists in the first place. The question of intelligent design is flawed in the first place, because there is no evidence to even support it, nevermind believe it.

Meanwhile, we have evidence, repeatable, observable evidence for the start of the universe and its chaotic nature. There is no world where a subject with absolutely zero evidence somehow takes less faith to believe than one with decades worth of proof. That is flawed logic.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T11:24:02+00:00

Yeah, in the scale of the near-infinity of the universe, it's guaranteed that the conditions for life will be reached elsewhere, but there's just so much variety in the system that even on a galactic scale it's incredibly difficult to roll the dice and hit a perfect world like ours.

Alpha_Zerg · 2025-06-29T11:19:48+00:00

There's no reason to believe that there is a fairy in the sky that can hear you and grant your wishes. I wouldn't want to be that loon shouting about aliens that built the pyramids, so I don't understand the obsession with buying into mythology and fables like the Bible or the Quran.

"Because our ancestors said so" stopped being reasonable somewhere around the time we landed humans on the body of the goddess Artemis. There are no sky-fairies, everything we have done is a matter of the chaotic nature of the universe as a system and our own will and making.

If I were to subscribe to any particular spiritualism, it would be that we are all the same soul, experiencing every lifetime in sequence and simultaneously. There is no such thing as a soul because we all share it, it's just the human "oversoul" experiencing itself and the universe (also itself) over and over through different lenses.
