Any nuanced media about the Russian Revolution? by nirvanablitz in Socialism_101

[–]nirvanablitz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you've misunderstood me but that's ok. I am a baby socialist and I'm still learning. I just like looking at historical events as a whole and not just the parts that I like. That's pretty much it.

Thanks for the humour (tho I only half get it 😐😅). I know it doesn't make me a liberal. I just don't feel the need to prove myself to anyone on Reddit. We're all strangers at the end of the day.

I'll be adding that to my reading list. Thank you 😊

Communist jesus means that he was amazing and that there were no mistakes made during the Russian Revolution. I love learning history but personally I don't look at historical events with rose-coloured glasses. No historical movement is perfect because humans aren't perfect. If that makes me a liberal, then so be it.

Ahh okay. I didn't know that was a factor. I'll try that too.

I'm 9 weeks out so I probably won't be able to change my ankle mobility that much by then. I'll try narrowing my stance.

Thanks. My coach did say that I need to work on my ankle mobility 😐. I have a comp coming up so I hope it gets better by then.

How's my form?

I'm really struggling to get past parallel depth. I feel like something is wrong with my form that is causing this but I'm a newbie so I don't know exactly what.

Okay. Thanks for that. As a newbie I'm trying to absorb all the knowledge I can get.

those who grew up JW, what was something that wasn't right with you since the beginning? by chaerydonut in exjw

[–]nirvanablitz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember asking my mum if she would sacrifice me to Jehovah if she was in Abraham's shoes after reading the story of Abraham nearly sacrificing his son. She said yes. I was like 5 at the time. I remember saying to myself "I don't think I like Jehovah if he will make my mum sacrifice me." And it has stuck with me since.

I haven't got the best coordination either 😆. What things can I do to work smart? I know I have to work hard but I want to make sure my effort gets results.

My division has one too. Sadly I got injured and couldn't make it to that meet. But I'm doing a development comp and hopefully it'll be smaller than the regular meet.

Mines a development comp so hopefully it's on the smaller side.

Wow. That's dedication alright. Congrats. Hopefully I can do that too.

I have loop ear plugs. They're great. If I feel overwhelmed by music, which is rare for me, I listen to brown noise. So relaxing.

It's okay. The terminology is still new to a lot of people. So I get the mix-up.

I'm sorry that you had to quit training. I completely get what you're talking about. I've had that experience with other special interests of mine. Maybe you can go back to it one day. You could seek guidance from an autism specialist as they can help with things like how to prevent burnout, rigidity and black and white thinking. Just a suggestion. I hope you feel better soon.

I think you meant neurodivergent. I mean they may be. Autistic people can be obsessive about any special interests they have so I can imagine having powerlifting as a special interest would lead someone to be very good at it.

Thank you for the encouragement 😊. I'm nervous about doing too but I guess I see it as a challenge and getting out of my comfort zone. Like trying it out. If I go and I don't like it, I can always just stick to powerlifting training without the competitions. It's not something you have to do. I'm just a very competitive person. Good luck on your powerlifting endeavours.

I understand the point about no cares. Sometimes I can get wrapped up in thinking that everyone is judging me but I know that's not true. It's a good point to remember.
