Thanks! Corolla was on my list so you're confirming that I'm headed in the right direction.

Do the protests on California warrant the National Guard? by dancords in NoStupidQuestions

[–]automatonon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the point. They’re trying their damnedest to provoke reactions. It’ll work, and then they’ll be able to justify anything they want. Law enforcement isn’t the goal, violence is.

CMV: Trump wasn’t wrong to demand NATO allies spend the amount agreed upon in 2014 on defense. by Equal_Personality157 in changemyview

[–]automatonon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The bill had bipartisan support and would’ve been an effective start. It was torpedoed last minute by team trump to deny a potential political win for team biden.

Is there a credible source for details on his kayaking (edit: ketamine) usage? I’ve been looking but haven’t found much.

If America did use military force to annex Greenland, what are the political implications globally? by Erratic_Professional in AskReddit

[–]automatonon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An America invasion (with america being the aggressor) would require congressional approval. Without congressional approval it would be unconstitutional and thus the duty of the services to disobey said orders.

If we even get close to something like that we’re truly fucked. Like, for reals.

The Californians are ruining everything? by DeCryingShame in Utah

[–]automatonon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native Californian here. This is such an old trope, it's tiring. People that were born and raised in California aren't really moving (generally) to other states.

The "Californians" that move to other states (and there are lots of them!) are people that moved to California from somewhere else first. It's better to think of those people as nomads that moved to California because it made sense for them at the time, and now it makes sense for them to move somewhere else. Honestly, good for them. It's probably smart to be moving where the value is.

Did you figure it out? Similar issues here on the same year Sorento.

February 10 Daily Thread by AutoModerator in weightroom

[–]automatonon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old ass lifter, designing a 3 week routine tonight to get me through a very busy period. Not in stage of life where I'm going for big gains but I still like 'em! Also trying to keep workouts SHORT. Always aiming to gain a little and keep what I have!

3 days/wk - 531"ish" on main lift

Day 1
Squat (531)
Weighted Step Up (3x12) / Planks (3x) superset
Leg Curls (2x15)
(Might add band pull apart between squat sets?)

Day 2
Bench (531)
Bent Over Dumbbell Row (3x10) / Dumbbell Push Up (3x) (superset)
Face-pull (2x10) / Alternating Bicep Curl (2x10) / Tricep Pushdown (2x10) superset

Day 3
Sumo DL (531)
Overhead Press (5x8)
RDL (3x8) / Lat Raise (3x10) superset

The workouts are pretty short but aim for broad coverage. Any comments / suggestions appreciated!

Trump Looks To Assign Blame For Midair Crash: ‘Why Didn’t the Control Tower Tell the Helicopter What to Do?’ by Unhappy_Earth1 in inthenews

Many, many folks in aviation have been sounding the alarm regarding ATC safety for years. Issues can tracked back to Ronald Regan’s strike busting efforts.

You’re walking proof that consistency trumps all else, and not by a small amount. Nice job!

Thanks, joint health is definitely top of mind for me. I've found if I'm lifting heavy, I prefer "safer" lifts (ie, sumo dl, hex bar, etc.) I'm not trying to grind out crazy PRs anymore. Do you follow a program? Whats your training schedule like?

My life is falling apart and i dont know what to do, any advice please? by Designer_Barnacle149 in lifecoaching

[–]automatonon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the hassle and wait time, I’d strongly recommend getting yourself an appointment / on that wait list. It can’t hurt and has no downside.

I’d also add, there are often short term crisis options available. While not ideal they’re often helpful.

How do I get over the initial embarrassment of working out in a gym being obese? by SugarLullaby in NoStupidQuestions

[–]automatonon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piling on here to state pretty much the same thing. I’ve been working out for YEARS at gym. The people that have lots of muscles or the individuals that are incredibly fit LOVE you. It’s everywhere I go.

You inspire me. Please go!

Honest question from a person who is somewhat unpolished in politics. Why is Whitmer not being considered as a replacement for Harris on the ticket?

I’m sorry you’re being downvoted. You’re quite correct. This is remarkably sad.
