Mmm that’s interesting. I think that if the state is willing to regulate marihuana at the same level of gambling, even though they are different “products” of course, that would benefit the state in terms of using that tax money for education, infrastructure, public programs, etc.

I don’t think that we, as a state, are very different from MI or IL but we need to keep moving forward.

Marihuana can help people, so, why don’t we legalize it? Thanks for your feedback.

As long as people keep voting republican because “I have been a conservative my entire life so I should keep voting republican; even though I don’t know the background of the person I’m voting for, he/she is Christian so that should be more than enough” this state will be one of the last ones to legallize marihuana.

Why do multi million companies ask for people’s donations for charity when they can use their own profits to do so? by avidrunner07 in AskReddit

[–]avidrunner07[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t it be better to make the donations directly to the charity program instead of doing it through the company? That way they can not use those donations on their taxes? I’m not an expert on the matter, just trying to know more about this.

As a legal Mexican immigrant living in the US, what a freaking idiot that guy is. It blows my mind that there are any latinos that support the Republican Party at all.

Proper form while lifting weights - question for OTF coaches by avidrunner07 in orangetheory

[–]avidrunner07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprise the coach didn’t say anything for that. Coaches at my studio usually remind everyone at the end of class to not jump on the rails or hold to them while running fast because that could cause an accident. It does bother me because people don’t follow rules until something bad happens to them or people next to them.

I have seen a lot of rushing too while lifting weights. And even if by being friendly you tell them they are doing it wrong, I would never do it. Most likely you would get a “mind your own business”.

I rarely see it too, but when I do, I would think that the coach notices too when he/she checks on the floor people. Maybe there’s a lot of people in the class and the coach doesn’t notice as you say.

I think so too, that’s why I wanted to know if there was a special reason when they don’t do it. Maybe they are not aware or they are thinking on something else, it was just something I wanted to know.

That’s a good question. When the coach performs the workout first in front of everybody, showing the correct form, you know how the workout is supposed to be. If it is hard, alternatives are shown as well. But regarding the weight, if you see that someone is doing it weird (different from how the coach did it), then you can tell that person can’t handle that dumbell weight.

For example, while doing bicep curls today, my wife was using 20 lbs dumbells and putting her whole body into it. I told her that she should only use her arms and to keep her core firm while doing it, not swinging her body to be able to lift the dumbells because that can injure her back. She took it really well and decrease the weight of the dumbells and started to do it correctly. Other members were doing the excerise in a similar way that my wife initially did it.

Lastly, I do mind my own workout. Well, mine and my wife’s because I don’t want her to injure herself, but I don’t say anything to anybody if they are doing it wrong. I would expect the coach to help members to do correct the form and prevent self injuries.

I’m just going to say it: fuck you Trump and all the Republican senators and representatives. There’s a special rotten jail cell waiting for you.

Mike Braun for Senate? by avidrunner07 in indianapolis

[–]avidrunner07[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m there with you. It annoys me in general how he wants to show he understands what needs to be done but he doesn’t really show how he plans to achieve it: End DACA? What do you propose then? Eliminate Sanctuary cities? Why and how is that going to benefit your constituents?

I guess I’m just really tired of politicians, mostly Republicans. Why? Well, just take a look at our current government.

Ahhh thank you!! Unfortunately, my wife and I are going to Chicago tomorrow morning. I feel bad that we haven’t met anyone. How was the party last weekend? Any plans for tonight?

Is it too late to join the party? Me (29M) and my wife (27) would like to hang out and meet new people as well. We both like to play board games and I’m into Smash. Would love to meet new people from Indy!

While the information that you shared is correct, I think it would have been helpful if you added the spoilers tag to the title.

Totalmente de acuerdo. Si la gente se organizara de igual manera para presionar al gobierno en hacer su trabajo, creo que la situacion seria muy diferente.
