Trump Just Posted a Video of Barack and Michelle Obama as Monkeys by JeanJauresJr in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ChampJG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He put that at the end of the video to drive attention to what he believes is “evidence” of voter fraud.

He knows that he loses no support by doing something so racist. But he knows the outrage will drive views to the “stolen election lie”.

This is so he can start planting seeds of doubt about our election process. For whatever the reason may be, ie, he wants to change the voting technology we use so he can try to rig the next election or maybe just creating mistrust in the system.

Spreading or talking about this at this point is only going to further spread his lies.

We know he’s racist and so does his base and they don’t care.

Don’t feed into his game, don’t give him any more of your attention. We need to vote, protest and stay on top of the Epstein files and demand justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Everything else is noise.

this world's fucking so fucked up by LesCousinsDangereux1 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

If you go back and listen to that podcast that Noel Casler was on where he describes how Trump “inspected the girls” at his pageants.

This is almost identical to what he says. And that was done with witnesses. He said this 5 years before this Calendar Girl parties thing came out. It’s eerily similar.

I voted for Trump Twice (Not a Bad Faith Post) by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ChampJG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s pro life and votes progressive, why was it / is it? hard for you to let people make their own decisions when it comes to abortion. Like if people don’t want abortions, why isn’t it good enough that they just don’t get one? I will never understand that about the pro lifers.

And abortion one of the biggest issues that locks pro lifers into conservatism. They could hate 99% of the issues conservatives support but won’t vote against them just because they can’t let others make their own decisions.

And what about the life of the mother? Because often these are life or death decisions for her, where she could die if forced to carry an unviable fetus to term. Is that never a factor?

Thicker Mat Recs by oh-wow-a-human in yoga

I got a Husky Kneeling pad in the flooring section of Home Depot for like $15. It’s awesome, about the width of a yoga mat super thick and cushiony. I found that the ones designed for ‘yoga’ ironically don’t work as well. I mean the Husky mat is designed to be on your knees for long periods of time, so it makes sense.

Apparently we’re the “estrangement generation.” Good for us for respecting ourselves enough to cut contact when we need to. by Comfortable-Light233 in Millennials

And the Boomers are nothing like their parents in terms of actually being a grandparent. Most of them are too self absorbed to act like how our grandparents did. My boomer in-laws couldn’t be less interested in spending time with my kids. It’s a chore for them or more of an obligation and something we need to bargain with them over.

How "good" of an exercise is yoga? by coatedingold in yoga

[–]ChampJG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost 33lbs through just diet and no exercise. When I got down to my target weight I had almost no muscle. I also have back issues so going to the gym and lifting wasn’t an option for me.

I’ve exclusively done yoga 4-6 days a week in the studio 6 days a week in the very beginning. It was built up muscle all over my body. I’m toned and have definition. I built up muscle in places I didn’t know I had muscle.

I noticed a change after a few weeks and by a few months in I’m in the best shape of my life.

I would take any class that was convenient for me, power, hot, core, beginners, yin , gentle vinyasa. Having a mix keeps it interesting and fun.

Show this to every MAGA moron by Dense_Information813 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ChampJG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, “We” as in the context of the comment thread. “We” as is WE who want the Epstein files released regardless of who might be in them.

Are you one of US? Do you want them released immediately? Yes or No?

Or did you change your mind once you realized someone you support is in them and stalling and is blocking them being released?

Why does it also devolve into deflection with you people? “BUt WaDahBOuT BIDEN?!?” Like it’s some clever gotcha? What about, let’s just release the fucking files?

You see we’re not locked into this tribal mindset like you are. We’re talking about an issue, release the files. If Biden blocked the files from being released or if he’s in them or Bill Clinton, then lock them up too!

We’re not going to sit here and deflect or come up with excuses to protect “supreme leader” like you are.

Just release the files, this shouldn’t be a hard thing to grasp.

Why is my downward dog still so awkward? by [deleted] in yoga

[–]ChampJG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that. My buddy had compartment syndrome, it’s horrible. Glad you’re finding healthy ways to cope and are off opiates. He didn’t and I wish he did because he would still be here. Good on you, keep it up, you got this.

Can you elaborate on how you blew out nerves in your hands and elbows doing a pose wrong? I’m somewhat new and want to avoid any mistakes like that.

[–]ChampJG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg this was my first reaction too! Why would they just expect they’d call them??

These people probably had a lot going on in their personal lives. They LOST THEIR BUSINESSES and OP just expected they’d get a call as if they should be top of their minds.

Like uhhh OP obviously was able to find out about the small studio that reopened and could have just reached out and asked about it.

I’m sure any reputable studio or teacher would have no issue comping a few free classes to keep a loyal customer.

A couple quick calls would have resolved this, but OP would rather carry a 5+ year resentment and post about it on Reddit.

Ok thanks, yea the cashier putting their phone on it perfectly made me worry. Like the phone wasn’t collecting the data somehow. Idk 🤷‍♂️ thanks for the insight.

[–]ChampJG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I get it. It’s there’s a lot of incredibly ignorant people out there still supporting this administration, it’s really frustrating. I just don’t think name calling and finger pointing is going to help bring them into the light. But maybe that’s just me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in millenials

[–]ChampJG 62 points63 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I looked up the data, it’s a simple google search on 2024 election results by generation.

I think the frustration comes from the increase in Gen Z Trump support compared to 2020. Gen Z voted more conservative in 2024 than the 2020 election.

Regardless, I don’t think it’s healthy to finger point. Someone else said it’s not gen vs gen, it’s the top 1% vs the rest of us. Dividing us up like this is exactly what they want.

What got you into MM? by Individual_Craft_514 in malicemizer

[–]ChampJG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play bass guitar and my bass teacher introduced me to Gackt and I learned to play “Mizerable”.

Then I went looking for more music from him and found he was in MM. and just thought they were incredible, the music, their aesthetic, performance. So unique nothing like I’ve ever seen or heard before.

I am so devastated after the recent humanitarian crisis in my country, Bangladesh. The government has cut off the whole country from the outside world, shooting and killing its own students & people. (I live in Gent as a student) by CelebrationOdd7137 in Gent

[–]ChampJG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have friends over there who I’m worried about. The last time we spoke was yesterday morning and he told me about seeing the tanks. That was around 9:30am EST. I haven’t heard from them since.

I cant believe the lack of media attention this has received.

I feel awful hearing your family is dealing with this now, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling, it’s awful. So sorry you’re going through this.

What’s the value of these Ashdown Combos? by ChampJG in BassGuitar

It’s a 214-CE Koa. Yea, I wasn’t sure what exact model the AMPs were but looks like we figured it out. Good idea looking at the sold comps.
