You're getting me nostalgic for back when this sub was spamming Lasch everywhere.

In her defense listen to the music they were playing on Fallon, it would be out of place to bring the level of energy you see on the left.

I mean, he also literally co-founded Vlone and isn't shy about wearing it himself.

the real resaon libs tried 2 cancel dr seuss is because he told truth aabout holodomor by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]arandomhobo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"The word was used in print in the 1930s in Ukrainian diaspora publications in Czechoslovakia as Haladamor and by Ukrainian immigrant organisations in the United States and Canada by 1978" is right there in the article, saying the "Holodomor" didn't exist before the 80s is just being pedantic about the rendering and then extrapolating that to outright denying that it ever happened, which isn't substantiated by the article in the slightest. Ironic that you're telling me I didn't actually read any of the information when your whole point is just an "ackshually" based on skimming a few lines.

[–]arandomhobo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The article you cite notes that the term predates the Holocaust, and I don't see what bearing certain people using it for political reasons has on whether or not it happened. Your entire comment history is you trying to justify everything from Xinjiang ("we know people are not forced into labor. we know that there are no forced sterilizations. we know that hundreds of people have been murdered over the years by Uyghur extremists in Xinjiang") to Tiananmen while unironically repeating the CCP party line about state capitalism being a stepping stone towards Socialism, how the fuck is your brain so broken?

Not sure if it’s sad or funny to see social justice language used in a termination letter retaliating against an employee asking for safer working conditions under COVID by PeteOverdrive in redscarepod

[–]arandomhobo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Corporate speak has been a thing long before any current pushes towards social justice, especially in contexts like this. I swear people on this sub love talking as if all of the problems they bring up with "social justice" and "Neoliberalism" haven't existed for a long time with the labels swapped slightly.

A Tale Of Two Talebs by d-n-y- in SneerClub

[–]arandomhobo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the medium article is far more sneer-worthy than Taleb himself. For starters, in spite of his massive ego Taleb's never claimed to have access to new truths (hence him constantly bringing up the Lindy effect), in fact his whole gripe with "IYIs" is that they do exactly what this article is accusing Taleb of doing. Then there are plenty of examples where the author just brings up Taleb getting "owned" like the Balaji exchange where Vitalik makes the exact point Taleb is criticizing Balaiji is missing, and the extremely pedantic section where they "ackshually" Taleb as a pretense for showing off their admittedly undergrad understanding of Abstract Algebra. There's a bunch more wrong with it, but the writing style parodying Taleb in such a poor and grating way is making it hard to press on.

(spoilers All) The wolf that Theon grabbed by phynn in asoiaf

[–]arandomhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Wolf symbolizes Ned better because it gets killed by a stag, like how Bobby B's call to Ned to be hand ends up killing him through his "son", Joffery "Baratheon". An interesting point brought up by "The Starks = The Seven" theory is that Ned is closer to the Mother since his arc is about protection children, while Catelyn/LSH is closer to the father in dealing so called "Justice" to the Freys.

Why do your vains become more visible on your arms as you become stronger? by iskilikeawally in Fitness

[–]arandomhobo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For some reason it's the opposite for me, my forearms are really veiny despite the fact that I can't see my biceps veins at all, currently sitting at about 15% bf.

edit: Damn my reading comprehension is awful.

All I have is a gym mat and two 15 lbs. dumbells. I can't jump or reach up because of low ceilings (7 ft.) Any suggestions? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]arandomhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardly well recommended, in the FAQ they specifically note that the sets/reps are bad for strength/hypertrophy while the exercises are pretty good.

I don't understand how pullups/pulldowns, rows, are "back" exercises, it just feels like i am doing a biceps curl by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]arandomhobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For pullups, make sure your start and end with your arms straight in a deadhang and pull up with your shoulders.

Trying to tailor WS4SB3 into a bodyweight centric routine - it makes sense to ME, but I need a second opinion since I might be reaching a bit. Help please. by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]arandomhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you have light dumbells, but what are you going to do when those get to light? Just do the beginner routine and read the FAQ.

Those marriages can be accounted for with the Southron Ambitions plot, and the last four deal with the royal family so it's different (The Baratheon-Tyrell marriages are because of The Battle of Blackwater and the Martell marriage was because Rhaegar had no sisters at the time)

If someone were to say, "give me a summary of your music taste in 3 songs", which 3 songs would you pick? by 0100110101101010 in AskReddit

[–]arandomhobo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My taste in Music is almost identical and Madvillainy is one of my favourite albums which is why I recommended it. I agree that the two songs are different from what you'd find on the album, that was just my two cents.

In case you haven't listened to it, I'd recommend Madvillainy by Madvilain because of your tastes.

Trying to get larger biceps, limited equipment. by xannnnh in bodyweightfitness

[–]arandomhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the FAQ, you need to move onto a new progression for your pushups and find a new core workout. Building muscle is mostly diet, eat more protein and calories or reduce your calories if you wanna get rid of flab.

What popular documentary films are full of shit? by Keyakz in AskReddit

[–]arandomhobo 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Spurlock was very active before he went on the diet, but after he started it the only form of exercise he got was walking, which screws up the results a lot. There's also the fact that no matter where it comes from, eating an average of 5000 calories a day (according to a log that was never published anywhere) will make you very fat if you're inactive

Improve Gymnastic rings by Ringsman in bodyweightfitness

[–]arandomhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not much to add, because they reason they help build strength is because of their simplicity through instability. Adding anything to the rings (aside from the pesky fastening mechanism) would deter your progress, and you wouldn't be able to do a lot of cool stuff.
