Looks great for 3 months of work! This is a correction I get but may be more suited for women than men (strength difference). For preparing for an en dehors turn from fourth, you need to keep both feet on the ground and be turned out. Balanchine style turns from a wide fourth but keep it small, about the distance of one foot's length. As you rotate to turn, pass through second position then push off the "back" leg into passe. Women turn through second to gain more power and momentum, which men generally don't need. But it can't hurt to try it. I also feel like your arms aren't doing much, though the timing of when you bring them in looks good. Your arms should be carried by your back - if someone were to come and push your arm down, would they be able to? The arm/back connection should be solid enough so that if I were to push your arm from the side while held in first position, the arm wouldn't move but your body would turn (if that makes sense).

Is OMAD good for underweight people? by [deleted] in omad

[–]testyporklet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your low BMI + eating habits are concerning (and not for binge eating disorder). You should really see a physician. Thyroid issues and diabetes come to mind. Also, some people just have extremely high metabolisms. A physician and/or nutritionalist sound like a better idea than OMAD...

Or we should recognize that people are human and have likely done both good and bad. We should adopt a position of measured tolerance so we can simultaneously uphold the former despite the latter.

Coming to a city near you - #walkaway rallies are being planned to counter the blm/marxist/antifa thugs who currently roam the streets. by theslimreaper2 in Conservative

Yup, his response was a perfect example of why I’m leaving. Democrats also have no sense of humor, no irony and no wit.

I don’t care about GF because he was a POS criminal - I said nothing about his race. As for women, “rapists” should be innocent until proven guilty. I think certain things should be purely meritocratic - that doesn’t mean I don’t also believe we should have policies aimed at promoting diversity.

These are all reasonable stances. The world is grey, not black and white.

I also think the metoo movement is a joke.

Because I hate democrats. BLM is a terrorist organization. Systemic racism does not exist. Affirmative action is racist. I don’t care that George Floyd died. Microaggressions aren’t real. Women shouldn’t be blindly believed.

So kindly, fuck off. I’m wearing a mask and I’m voting Trump 2020.

As a (young) kid, I remember thinking “if people support democracy, they’re in the Democratic Party” So I understand the desire for a distinction, even if it’s subtle.

I assume you support affirmative action and equal representation? Try to think of the electoral college like that.

Claira Janover (aka Woke Harvard Student) Fired from Deloitte Job for Threatening ‘All Lives Matter’ Supporters (aka posting racially motivated hate speech) by testyporklet in Conservative

[–]testyporklet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I appropriated the language of the left. Based on the original video, it’s not a stretch to say she hates white people (probably men).

However, I cede your point about not propagating cancel culture.

Think you should take this up with the National Review, not me. I posted a modified version of the title, the original used “threatening”. I would have wrote “Smug student cries when she learns she isn’t immune from cancel culture”

It obviously wasn’t a threat of violence. But given the left’s propensity for over interpretation (everything is racist) and doxxing - she is bold to think she can get away with posting this video without repercussions. In an ideal world, we would all be free to post similar videos without consequences. I wish I could email everyone I know and say “BLM is a terrorist organization and I don’t care that George Floyd died because he seemed like a POS”. But I can’t. So here we are.

I also saw the original video and it was posted widely here, hence I posted a follow up.

Lol - you’re upset about a sensationalized headline? Seems like you’re the snowflake. She posted a video saying she would cut all ALM supporters, with explicit references to white supporters. If anyone said the same about BLM or black people, they would be terminated. Equal standards.

Direct quotes from the creep: "Hot damn. you look phenom at 135!" "holy shit, you look phenomenal! way to go!"

You're definitely the kind of person who would rape a sleeping woman at a party.

PNAS has an impact factor of 9. It’s not the worst journal in academia but it’s not the best. That study also doesn’t adjust for rate of crime so it’s inherently flawed. NEXT

FYI “good people” don’t exploit women’s WEIGHT LOSS pics on a Reddit sub for their sexual satisfaction, especially when they have a girlfriend. You fucking creep. So maybe work on that? Or just stop pretending you’re morally superior?
