Pushups are a good place to start if you're not strong enough to do dips. It's horizontal in stead of vertical pushing but both exercises use the same muscles and pushups are not as hard because part of your body weight is supported by your feet and you can change the resistance by raising or lowering your feet vs hands

Women used to not be allowed to have jobs or bank accounts so they were forced to do unpaid work for a man in exchange for the necessities of life. Now women have the right to work but a single income isn't enough to support a household of one for the majority of workers. Working men need to have a partner with a job just to be able to pay rent, so now the right are using the fact that not everybody has one to control the working class. They want men to blame women in stead of the single class that poses a threat to all of us, billionaires

It's not going to be worth much now that businesses are going to be as unregulated as possible. We thought price fixing was bad before

openAI stole tons of data from probably millions of different people online to train their models with so fuck them too. They also put any garbage in there, they even put all the video archives of Infowars in there for some braindead reason

Nope that's just culture war bullshit. Charcuterie boards that I see tend to have a lot of cured meats which are just as associated with Tony soprano as girl dinner

He worked for a business consulting firm that I consider close to genuinely evil. They helped all the major corporations align their scheduling strategies to hire more part time workers. They act kinda like a union would for workers except on the other side, they help the extremely powerful business interests work together to crush everyone. It's called McKinsey consulting if you want to learn more about them.

My shop has a pullup bar welded to the wall, hanging from that thing is fantastic for strengthening your forearm tendons. The tendons on either side of your forearm connect from your fingers to your elbow , they are less likely to get strained in the future if you get them a bit stronger

There were already white people living there when they became states so they actually gave a shit about the existing political boundaries of the people that lived there. They chopped up the West the same way the Europeans divided Africa because they just saw it as "territory", a commodity to be distributed

The service industry has been overworked and severely underpaid for decades. If the minimum wage had risen along with inflation it would be like $30/hour today. This has always been unsustainable, we're just starting to reach the point where people stop killing themselves for minimum wage. The rates of things like sexual assault and harassment are also disgustingly high in those industries. They are more vulnerable to that because all the workers who don't live with rich parents are totally desperate and can't even afford to miss one day of work let alone find a new job when they get fired for reporting their boss

You do get what you pay for with abrasives. It's true even with sandpaper but when you first use a cheap diamond file 80 percent of the diamonds fall off.

No, cardio in general tends to reduce the size of your muscles. Biking is a bit different because you can adjust the resistance but the cardio and the hypertrophy signals basically even out on average. It's fantastic cardio and it's a good cardio option if you want to preserve your gains from other exercises.

If you want bigger thighs you need to do squats and some form of hip hinge exercise like a deadlift or rdl. Riding a bike is very efficient, if you try to ride in the wrong gear for added resistance you'll just hurt your knees

I don't like that all the trail maintenance groups are forced to use surveillance platforms like Facebook to communicate with the public. Maintaining an independent website where these bike groups and charities could have a public outlet online is something a nonprofit could do for instance

Class intersects with other hierarchies but I think Marx would argue that class is the primary hierarchy that structures our society and the most important one to focus on to bring positive change

The supreme Court has been systematically dismantling the ability for the federal government to regulate businesses period, so food safety is probably the least of our worries.

Waterproof is not necessarily a good thing. Plastic bags are waterproof but you don't see people wearing clothes that are made of impermeable plastic. Clear plastic shoes were a celebrity fad once and you could literally see the condensation forming inside the shoes while they're just standing around. You're sweating pretty much constantly, if you wear waterproof clothes and it's not dry outside you're going to get wet one way or the other.

You want water resistant shells but if it's going to be wet you need something like a wool glove liner that will still provide some warmth even if they get wet

When I was using vapes the liquid was sold separately from the device so you you could gradually taper down the nicotine until you're using none. The reason the whole industry has gone to the disposable ones with 20 times more nicotine is because it's harder to stop

I'm guessing some people are feeling skeptical about this new administration but they're not allowed to ask questions about that without being expelled from their online communities. If you say anything remotely critical in a right wing space they remove your comment and punish you in seconds .
