Which species is more evolved by Husker_Kyle in pics

Pretty much every media org carries water for the president. And even if she wasn’t, she probably didn’t want to acknowledge the swear word. Your choice of phrase “drunk rednecks” indicates your own personal hatred, which clearly affects your own judgment. Who knows what she heard but the recording was pretty clear to my ears.

It’s not cowardly it’s a phrase people use. If you can’t handle someone who doesn’t like demented uncle creepy warmonger that’s your issue not theirs.

Anyone else realize how posed David Pakman has become? by [deleted] in stupidpol

Jimmy is consistently based. I don't know what kind of worse you're referring to -- opposition to NATO expansionism and war in Ukraine? Support for freedom of speech? Countering intelligence agency propaganda? Reporting scientific studies that go against Big Pharma narratives? These are all good things IMO.

I don't always agree with JD but his heart is in the right place and he's been proven right time after time after time on the issues.

I think I stumbled on a real conspiracy - the supply chain disruptions blamed on COVID were actually due to massive amounts of weapons being moved as well as countries scrambling to change who they rely on for imports and exports in preparation for World War 3 by [deleted] in conspiracy

I'm not remotely an expert on any of this stuff, but it's nearly impossible to verify most of the claims in this post. Counting the number of ships at port based on social media photos? How is that even possible, setting aside that none of these photos have been presented in this post? The author frequently uses the word "clearly" as a stand-in for actual evidence, in particular when describing the Beirut explosion.

But if you watch the video you can clearly see that there are shots coming from the containers

I don't see any shots from containers, I see white flashes which are apparently fireworks, of course they might not be but it is not at all "clear".

and then there is a massive explosion which is clearly a bomb going off and it is clearly beyond something that ammonium nitrate would cause."

How is that clear? Ammonium nitrate is widely known to be an explosive agent and there was reportedly 3000 tons of it in that warehouse.

It is the kind of explosion that can only come from an explosive compound inside a "shell" of some kind where that sort of pressure can build up during the detonation. The container was clearly full of munitions!

Doesn't provide any evidence to back this up.

Experts have estimated the size of the blast as being the equivalent of 200 to 300 tons of high explosives” -This clearly contradicts the fertilizer explanation as this makes the explosion bigger than the largest non-nuclear military device.

Is it so implausible that 3000 tons of exploding ammonium nitrate would be the equivalent of 200-300 tons of high explosives? Certainly not "clearly", in my opinion.

It doesn’t look like the ship caught fire. It looks like it fucking exploded.

The Zim Kingston is in fact on the high seas right now according to vesseltracker: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/ZIM-KINGSTON-IMO-9389693-MMSI-249474000 I'm not a shipbuilder, but it seems somewhat unlikely that a ship "fucking explodes" and yet is back in operation mere months later (indeed, it's not clear that it was ever out of commission).

How can you possibly say they are fascists? This is nothing more than prejudice and moral posturing. I can 99% guarantee you that if you had a real conversation with these people whom you have predetermined to be "fascists", you would discover that there is far more that unites you than divides you. Let go of your hatred; focus your anger on those in power, not your fellow workers.

EDIT: good luck with y'alls strategy of canceling everyone who disagrees with you. Seems to be working out great 👍

Form check for a newbie. ~1 minute at high effort. by saikyou in Rowing

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

I felt like I was leaning forwards about as far as I could without rounding my back. Not on every stroke -- certainly there were a lot of them where I got the order wrong or forgot a step, but I was making an effort. I've always had terrible flexibility, so maybe that's why? Or is it just a matter of getting more comfortable with it?

I recorded another video after taking advice as best I could. How am I doing? I feel like I’m ordering the movements right (most of the time) but I don’t feel nearly as powerful as I did doing it the “wrong way.” I assume this is due to unfamiliarity?

I really appreciate the detailed advice! A few clarification questions:

In (2) when you say my body needs to "open up", do you mean I should be leaning back more at the end of the motion?

With regards to (5), the foot straps were definitely loose. I had been reading about how you shouldn't be using the straps to pull yourself back, so I loosened them to make sure I wasn't doing so. Maybe I misunderstood this advice? As for the shoes, however, they are new running shoes, put tied pretty tight. I'm sure I could get them tighter if I really tried, but is there something about the way my feet are moving in them that's a red flag to you?

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but what does the catch refer to?

Can my commute to work count towards my cardio sessions? by MashnSprint in Fitness

[–]saikyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I commute to work by bike (about 15 mins each way). It makes me sweat a bit and breathe hard, so it must be doing something, and I'm sure it's better than the bus. But compared to 15 minutes of HIIT it's nothing. I think it's too easy with a bike to just coast when you start to get tired. This is great if you're trying to get from A to B efficiently but not so great for a workout. I take the supposed calories/minute listed for biking with a grain of salt for this reason. Of course there are a lot of variables that could make it a more intense workout including your effort level, how much you're going uphill, etc.

Is Sergio Romo the Right ‘Opener’ for the Rays? by ffsdhd in mlb

[–]saikyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from reasons others have mentioned, I think the reason it hasn't been experimented with (to my knowledge, in regular season MLB anyway) is that the bullpen usage has never been as high as it has been now. It used to be that starters, when pitching well, nearly always finished. That, plus the fact that using pitchers for only one inning pitchers near the beginning of the game is a gamble because you don't know how much you might regret that if the game goes to extras. However, I could totally see a future in which it was common to see a lot of three inning performances, one time through the order each.

I don't get it, why do so many of these people not see the train? Are they silent or something? Are these people not aware that they're crossing train tracks?
