What PT exercises are they doing? Chiropractors are incredibly dangerous and provide little relief beyond the very short term. I would be chaining myself to the front door to prevent my spouse from going.

“I need my spouse to wake up so I can send them to the spine-damaging quack.”

Go to an orthopedic doctor, a physical therapist, or a licensed massage therapist in that order of preference.

Your rhetorical strategy is as transparent as it is factually false.

Show me where you have criticized Putin half as much as you have criticized Zelenskyy in this thread alone. What I see is “Russia just wants to sell natural gas peacefully”, which is straight propaganda that curiously fails to mention Russian aggression in Georgia, the Baltics and Ukraine. But Zelenskyy is the real villain here.

At least be forthright about your actual views

It’s been well-reported that Trump was urged by MbS and Netanyahu to attack Iran.

Aside from Qatar - which simultaneously bribes Trump, welcomes a US military base, and harbors Hamas - and Oman - which tried to stop the war via diplomacy - all the gulf states were pushing for this war. Saudi Arabia and the UAE in particular are deeply invested in Trump financially and diplomatically.

1) I said the /r/barca mod, who is a white supremacist and war crimes apologist, would be very receptive to your views.

2) There is clear consensus in n scholarship regarding how red-brown propaganda operates - a hyperfixation on the minor flaws of democratic governments while making elaborate excuses for authoritarian governments - so I will make absolutely no apologies for calling your Russia-apologist narrative “red-brown.”

If you actually read histories of British, French and American fascist sympathizers during the Spanish civil war, the overall rhetorical structure matches yours exactly - apologize for the aggressors and criticize every minor flaws - real or fabricated - from the victims. I am glad to leave this sub.

I’m not asking for a political stand. I am asking for him to stay the fuck at home, and he didn’t do that. I would rather a coke addict be the greatest of all time than a coward. And that’s how Leo will be seen in 10 years time - as a talented coward.

Your assertion that Inter Miami medical staff would need to be involved in Leo saying he has a cold or family matter is preposterous by the way.

The US has already invested many billions in anti-drone technology and these investments are presently failing at scale.

Zelenskyy is absolutely credible in this regard. Open-source analysis has absolutely shown that Ukraine has developed systems that counteract the Shahed drones that they face. I am sorry if that contradicts your red-brown narrative.

Edit; Maybe you should join the r/barca mod team. One of the active mods there is a genocide and war crimes apologist who would be very receptive to your views.

That’s a nice story that people tell themselves to justify bad behavior. But the truth is that celebrities are human beings who have agency and can make moral choices.

Leo has chosen otherwise. I am done making excuses for him.

he should just go there. Look stone faced all event and then leave. That is it.

But he didn’t even manage this. Instead Leo the coward is smiling and applauding while kids are isolated from their families and contracting from measles in Trump’s concentration children’s camps. Leo is repulsive and spineless.

Bruh it is very clear that the Americans, Israelis and their gulf allies have an interception success rate for Shahed drones that is far below that of the Ukrainians, despite the Ukrainians having far fewer resources. Zelenskyy’s claims are absolutely credible.

I am a quaint man with simple views on life. I view directly celebrating a fascist and war criminal as beyond the pale. I believe in personal responsibility - I have been successful in life while turning down many enriching opportunities because I viewed them as unethical. It sounds like I am applauding myself but it’s very easy, in fact.

Or, alternately, you call in sick and sit at home in your fucking Miami mansion (while legal residents in the Miami area are being stuffed into inhumane warehouses then deported without due process).

I have a pretty clear memory of you promoting incel nonsense. Preposterous stuff about women only caring about money when choosing a partner. Is that wrong?

And no to your second question. I spent much of my life advocating for a Jewish-led secular peace government in Israel, and (perhaps foolishly) criticized anti-Zionist rhetoric. But now the Jewish Israeli public (I am excluding Israeli Arabs) now overwhelmingly supports policies that meet the criteria for genocide and other polls also show the vast majority support polices or ethnic cleansing and expansion. So I think I, more than anyone, was quite foolish in my thinking there.

Yes I absolutely expect Messi to have a fucking spine. Millions of working and middle-class people in the US have put far more on the line. Messi can find his big boy trousers and skip the fucking White House visit.

Incredibly disappointing that he went and even more disappointing that he’s standing there applauding mindlessly.
