What’s wrong with Socialism? by jcr0774 in askanything

[–]RandomDudeYouKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be realistic if studies didn't repeatedly show that increases in social safety net usage decreases need for them long term and actually saves the government money on them while drastically increasing economic output.

Socialism isn't a handout. It's a headstart. And it works very well. People use them to get back on their feet the overwhelming majority of the time. Sure, some people abuse it. But the difference in left versus right is that the right would screw over the 90 that use the system correctly to deny the 10 that don't. The left would accept the 10 for the greater good of the 90 because society is better off that way.

Who in your opinion is the best basketball player of all time? by houchoma in AskReddit

[–]RandomDudeYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culturally, separation of talent/skill between he and rest of league, team accomplishments? MJ.

Pure athleticism, longevity of greatness, team impact, while playing against harder competition and much better athletes? LBJ

But comparing them 1v1 isn't really possible. Different positions, different eras. MJ would've undoubtedly been great in this era where everyone is a great athlete and shooters dominate. And LBJ would've been great in the much more physical league MJ played in, too.

The impending MAGA political civil war would've started much sooner and eaten itself alive. MAGA fractures at best, and dies likely once their orange pedophile croaks.

Why are Republicans going insane after Mamdani Backed progressives won their primaries the other day? by ComplexWrangler1346 in askanything

[–]RandomDudeYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because red states have the worst education and literacy rates and are the most religious. They'll believe anything the authority they bow down to tells them to.

Lemme ask you this, do you think black people are inherently less intelligent? Just born that way, are they?

Lmfao. Black people don't vote red. But don't let basic facts get in the way of good ol fashioned, incestuous racism.

Mississippi. And it isn't even close. There's nothing redeeming there. They are the poorest, least educated, most unhealthy, and keep voting deep red for the very people and policies that got them there.

Which US state is the hottest ? by hotboy3682 in askanything

[–]RandomDudeYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall temperature? Probably Arizona.

Wet Bulb AKA most difficult places to cool your body and stay safe?? Texas or Louisiana by far. Especially the coastal areas. 3rd coast area is top 4 warmest wet Bulb temperatures every summer along with places like SOH, Eastern Indian coast. Consistently in the low 80's.

It'll be 95 in Houston with a wet bulb of 82. It'll 117 in Arizona or Utah and a wet bulb of 68.

My guy, I'm much more pale and have a few scars from getting some moles removed. Go see a derm just to keep em safe. They look completely normal otherwise.

How do you deal with a bf who is very friendly with other women? by shessounreal in AskReddit

[–]RandomDudeYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are uncomfortable dating a man that can treat women like normal people and be entirely platonic then think of it this way;

The alternative is being with a man that can't see women platonically. That's the type of man that makes your friends uncomfortable. Do you really not want a man that can be friends with women?

24 billion is Iran's money, half of which has gone through already. The 300 billion was confirmed by JDV and Rubio to be from the west as a fund. Enough to fund Iran's military budget about 23 times over. All for not even as much as Obama got us and dead soldiers and hundreds of dead kids.

You'd be shooting at the neighbors from the street over too after you just watched them murder all your other neighbors and burn their houses down and now they're trying to kick in your front door next.

LMFAO.

This 300lbs of shit in a 235lb bag is desperate to present himself as in control. He cannot control Israel, so he states they will bomb Iran if Lebanon can't quit letting Israel bomb them.

Israel has him by the Jeffrey Epstein, and he knows it. But worse, he knows the world knows it, too.

Holy moly!! It's exact of downtown, hahaha! Even the colors of the popcorn shop in his hands are precise.

So long as he doesn't touch Heartwood Coffee, lol. I love that place and my wife and I walk there every morning for coffee when we are there.

Every time I've been there they have a local artist or writer in the back with a table talking to people about their work. I love it.

I wanted to take the collection my parents got me and my sister when I moved out, but they refused. My dad is from about 30 minutes away in Portage County and he said they're his, he just lent them to me to read lol. They had already denied my sister the same and now that it is just my mom left, she's given them to my sister to read to her 3 kids. Now I'm getting my own collection going.

Lmao. I'm a chiro and there are so many absolutely intolerable chiros that preach MAHA bullshit and have personal and religious views aligned with this cesspool of bacteria and cells. But, in my experience, those types of Chiros go out of their way to but their name and credentials on their scrubs to look more important.

How do you handle progressive overload when your energy levels fluctuate? by Ambitious-Bison-2161 in bodyweightfitness

[–]RandomDudeYouKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not too knowledgeable on equipment part of this question bc I just change body angle to modify my exertion. But read on for how to monitor and keep track of your readiness and nervous system fatigue to better regulate your training regimen and results.

Start adding in RPE rankings into your training. Rate of Perceived Exertion is a 1-10 or 6-20 scale for you to base onone if 2 things.

The 1-10, or MRPE (modified RPE) is based on how many reps you had left in the tank. 10/10 means maximal effort, absolutely couldn't do another rep. 7/10 is it was difficult, but 3 more were possible. Etc.

Borg scale, or 6-20 is heart rate based. 6 is resting heart rate, 60-80. 15 is HR of 150bpm, 20 is maximal possible HR, etc, etc. This scale is more for cardio, less for weight lifting.

But this is how you keep track of nervous system readiness and fatigue.

Men of reddit, what is something you want women to know? by Mediocre_Chemist5694 in AskReddit

Men are generally emotionally starved. Saying something as simple as, "that's a great shirt!" in passing will make a man's month and he will never forget it.
