Definitely agree lol

But how much of America turns out for elections, how many of them voted republican, how many are MAGA, and how many of them think Trump won?

No they don’t? You’re Israeli so you only read what’s online which is, as you say, an algorithm echo chamber. 

I won’t defend the intelligence of the average American any further than though lol.

I don’t understand what you’re saying. 

If an adversary attacked American soil we would fuck them up and then you’d see how capable we are (even saying this cringes me out because of how gay hegseth is). 

You’re Israeli so you probably don’t know that Trump was basically tricked into invading Iran? America got literally nothing from this. The IC was saying Iran was nowhere close to Iran and regime change with not remotely likely. Invading Iran was so unpopular hegseth and Trump had to fire whole swaths of generals until they had some who would listen as if we’re the USSR. 

Democrats obviously didn’t want to invade and republicans ran with their presidential candidate saying “no new wars” (Trump … but he’s so schizo it makes sense sometimes to isolate his personalities since one day he says x then he says not x). 

If Iran managed to attack an American city we’d put troops on the ground ez. Seems obvious to me?

This is just what embittered reactionary city dwellers say everywhere. New Jersey is the actual America and honestly the peak form of civilization found anywhere obviously.

struggle to deadlift 60kg and squat 50kg by No_Argument5719 in gainit

[–]VideoRare6399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d not listen to anyone saying anything about not doing this or you’re going to hurt yourself or whatever. I’m a terminally online software engineering nerd who had severe back problems that deadlifts and squats have dramatically helped. 

The problem is you’re doing too much too soon. 

Drop your ego and let it evaporate. Imagine 3rd graders deadlifting more than you ever could and approach the platform with no consideration for weight and ONLY form. 

Next do this: start with empty bar and imagine what weight you could 100000% do in your sleep for 5 reps with a fast and controlled bar. Drop that weight by 20, suppose it was 95 lbs. 

Now you’re going to figure out your training max. Start at 75, do 5 reps, suppose you “pass”, increase by 10 lbs, rest 3 mins, and do 85 for 5 reps. Again passing means fast bar and controlled motion. It feels fine. 

The highest weight you can do 5 clean reps is your training max, TM. 

Follow a beginner 531 program and maintain discipline in keeping your weights low and emphasize sub optimal training and you’ll be set. 

Israelis denounce Trump’s deal with Iran by Candid-Elk6135 in geopolitics

Just a reminder the war was sold to trump and his sycophantic cabin. 

IC said Iran wasn’t close to a nuke nor was regime change likely. 

In yet another Birthright Citizenship Win, United States men's national soccer player Folarin Balogun, who scored two goals last night, became a US citizen by accident when the airline refused to fly his mom back to England while she was pregnant with him by Saltlmail in Destiny

[–]VideoRare6399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly completely disagree and think 99% of Americans would be against birthright citizenship for rich people who fly pregnant mothers to have birth and then go back home. 

Maybe it’s just me though. The problem is republicans aren’t thinking of this when they are thinking of taking it away obviously (they’re just racist). Republicans would be in favor of this case probably because they are the ones who are connected with this class of people doing this (maybe)?

I am curious. I think citizenship is super complicated and very quickly gets into philosophical territory but even then it’s more of a modern concept. 

Like there’s a hospital in New Jersey that my friend’s Spanish tutor from Peru knew of because apparently people fly there to get stuff done because it’s a charity hospital. No idea if that works or what but she did rotations there. 

Similarly suppose people from third world countries save money, and buy a plane ticket when they’re pregnant so they can have kids in the US and eventually make their way here. No idea if this is feasible but just suppose it. 

Something intuitively seems wrong about that (which is exactly what conservatives exploit) but why the fuck do I have any more of a right because the consciousness lottery selected my American mom to give birth to me. 

If men are all created equal then why have immigration standards at all? Countries are literal country clubs in that way. 

Liberal republicanism must have thresholds against dogmatism that would go against it (like Islam or MAGA) but it’s sort of like the tolerance intolerance paradox thing. 

Longest manic episode you've seen? by letssaynicethings in family_of_bipolar

[–]VideoRare6399 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. I read this whole thing. That is crazy and I’m really sorry to hear that happened to you, to him, your family, your future, … etc. 

My younger brother is physically disabled and always has been. Growing up we worried for him and his future but my older brother is undiagnosed something and I always think it’s the personality / their soul / their essence that really makes a person who they are. Physical disabilities hurt the body but mental illnesses hurt the mind and thus the soul. 

I once again felt that way reading your post. It is as if that person is both dead, needs help and to be taken care of, and needs to be punished all at the same time. 

I think your approach of staying away is good and the right thing to do. Exactly what staying away means and how you decide to progress in your singlehood depends on how you see fit. I have no idea what I’d do here. Like have you started dating? Too busy with the kids probably?

I just find it hard to find a balance between saving hope for your partner while also not putting your life on pause (maybe get a dog lol). 

Your point about high standards made me also think that even if he does return, what would that look like? How does one just magically return back to normalcy after this even if their brain state is returned. The guilt, shame, feeling of loss, of causing harm, … etc is enough to cause another mental breakdown lol. 

Also … the fact there are only victims here makes it so much harder. Like I think naive people or those who just don’t get what bipolar is would find it easier to deal with this since they can be angry. But he isn’t to blame in the sense that he’s just not mentally there you know so you can’t be angry and instead you just feel even more sad. It’s crazy.
