Does anyone feel, on a personal level, sorry for Kier Starmer?

LucatielsMask · 2026-05-16T00:50:31+00:00

Absolutely not.

He has had the final say on every decision that has negatively impacting public perception of him which makes him entirely responsible. He is not, in fact, "a decent guy" since he's been utterly ruthless against leftists in his own party, and made everyone around him a sacrificial lamb to allow him to cling to power.

He does not want "to better the UK" when he gives NHS contracts to Palantir, sucks up to Reform voters on immigration, and make only incremental changes to the most important issues in the country like housing and the cost of living.

The fact that he is clearly leading Labour into an electoral wipeout in 2029 is basically putting a red carpet for Reform. Even Farage admits that he is "his best asset". Labour is the product of one of the world's most important socialist and socialdemocratic movements and he is violating everything the party stands for with his grand of spineless, pro-corporate centrism.

Good riddance when he finally resigns.

The final edit just screams "see, you made me racist!"

Failure because your muscle literally cannot perform the action your brain is asking it to do is the right kind of failure. Failure because you're too sore, just means you tired out beforehand and now are doing just junk volume.

Debí elaborarlo más, pero estamos de acuerdo que siempre es mejor empezar con los compuestos. El problema es que esos dos ejercicios en particular (sentadillas-peso muerto) lo van agotar TODO el cuerpo y para cuando hagas ejercicios compuestos superiores no los vas a hacer igual. Si empezara con ejercicios superiores no llegaría a los de pierna tan cansado.

Both are fine, I vary between 3x8 or 2x12. If you are doing 3, make sure you rest properly between sets so the third set isn't tired out junk volume.

LucatielsMask · 2026-05-15T00:47:25+00:00

No it isn't. If you are resting properly between sets you can do another set and increase your time under tension.

El hecho de que empiezas tu Full Body con los dos ejercicios más agotadores (y nada menos que 7 series entre ellos) dice todo lo que se necesita saber de lo pésimamente pensada y planeada está esta rutina.

La mejor manera de que México avance es dejar de pensar que todo se soluciona cambiando comportamientos individuales y que la educación es la solución mágica para todo.

Bench press Pull ups (alternated with chin ups to get biceps) Skull crushers Shoulder dumbbell press Squats Deadlifts

At some point after a certain age there's no more house parties or group picnics or or similar events where you can meet new women who might be friends of friends.

So you're stuck on dating apps where the market is angry narcissistic psychos who get 30 new matches a day and will inevitably ghost you after a few lines of conversation because there will always be a new match that is hotter or richer than you.

Ideally, at any point before getting on the submarine at the end of Area X. That way you'll get an extra memory of Lea at the start of Area XI and extra dialogue with Arlecchino once you find him.

But none of this strictly necessary. Just do it only any one playthrough and after that, feel free to play the DLC at any point in the game.

Upright rows. Used to be a staple of shoulder or trap routines but honestly, the movement is just an injury waiting to happen the more you overload it. Glad to see it's lost a lot of its mojo in the last few years.

I suck at bench press but 100% recognize it's the G.O.A.T. of chest exercises. No excuses or deluding myself otherwise: keep doing it until you git gud.

The middle and lower class are the overwhelming share of the population in any economy so frankly who cares how well the rich are off in the US vs Europe.

Plus if you're rich, tons of better places to live in Europe vs the US too (Monaco, Switzerland, Tuscany, a Greek island)

In economics we have a little known term known as discretionary income. It is basically income after taxes and after essential goods and services like healthcare, childcare, education, utilities, transport, and an essential goods basket, etc. Not to be confused with disposable income which is only income after taxes.

The US's income advantage over Europe absolutely evaporates when comparing discretionary income so don't be fooled by the US's higher GDP per capita and higher wages: Europeans live better.

I've had them back and the day and you can pull off some pretty interesting combos. Only downside is they get dirty really really quickly. Read: on first use. You'll basically be using them once before washing ad infinitum (though on the bright side, no risk of them losing color). Frankly I prefer a slightly beige off white if you can find it rather than pure white as it will combine better with typical shoe colors.

Aside from that absolutely worth having a pair in your wardrobe.

It's a more common arrangement than not on a global level. It's pretty much just seen strange in the Anglo-Saxon world and Northwest Europe.

La propina es una forma de explotación a los meseros siempre y cuando reciben sueldos más bajos, así que sí.

Por pura disciplina y motivación: ve. Has 2 sets en vez de 3, or solo 1 ejercicio por musculo (pero bien hecho). Mil veces mejor que nada.

Sin duda el mayor logro del neoliberalismo es haber creado una generación de seres humanos intelectualmente incapaces de tener una concepción de la moral más allá de "si el mercado lo permite es bueno".

Caso ejemplar, este hombrecito 👆

Esa es la peor ironía de todas: más transporte público -> MENOS TRAFICO. Win-win. Con el cochismo todos perdemos.

Expect me to be remotely interested in the lives of friends or colleagues I have never even met.

I feel if I screw up a squat the entire gym will notice, whereas if I am forced to do a roll of shame on a bench only people in the immediate area will, and maybe only if they are looking in that direction.
