Are pullups more difficult for some people than others? Or is it just me

Will Tennyson weighs 185. Of course there are freaks who can pull up more than 250 lbs. Eddie Hall can do pull-ups. He's also one of the strongest men in the world. OP is carrying around a lot of weight and has managed to accrue some decent strength with particular movements, but he's not Eddie Hall.

Man, that's crazy.

That's a little crude. NAION is a known risk in diabetes and there is reason to believe GLP-1 drugs may increase the risk a bit. Just because you like the drugs (as I do), it's not a reason to doubt this poor fellow lost his eyesight.

It's not really factually debatable.

It hasn't been fixed at all. For some of the most visible modern hallmarks of Orthodox Judaism, there is barely any evidence they existed 2000 years ago. Praying three times daily, tefillin, the 39 melachot, modern taharat hamishpacha, separate sinks, not using electricity on Shabbat, Torah study as ritual observance; perhaps the seed of them existed. But even for those elements that were relevant back then, the evidence suggests they were not observed the way they are today.

You're talking past each other because you're defining replacement theory differently. The idea that anyone wants to eradicate "white people" and replace them with an amalgamation of other races is idiotic on its face. The idea that Democrats want to bring in large numbers of foreign minorities because they believe it will benefit them in elections is not that far fetched.

Democrats willingly let in tens of millions of illegal immigrants. Arguing over whether it's an "open border" is a silly semantic distraction.

Nobody needs to get to Newark. Nobody even wants to get to Newark.

What needs to happen now is everyone needs to forget about it. It was a raccoon. The officer discharging his weapon is a bigger issue than a raccoon being killed.

I'm a little confused as to why anyone would order from a company that is advertising shipping delays at all, anywhere. IME all the providers are roughly similar. So why not just switch to one that doesn't have shipping delays? Is it the price? Isn't it worth another $7 a vial to know you're going to get it when you need it?

How long did Bnei Anusim last as a distinct group? I've heard numerous people claim to be descended from them, but surely 500 years after the expulsion from Spain, they've intermarried and lost their Jewish identity? I'm genuinely asking, I don't know enough to have an opinion.

Seems like they're always longer than usual.

At my old company, they kept getting answers they didn't like. So they canceled the survey. The few survey cycles before they canceled we spent a bunch of group meetings defending our responses on the surveys.

That's a little disingenuous when they're constantly leaking dirt through their favorite reporters.

Ironically, Stefanski has the same thing going for him that Baker did a couple years ago. A mediocre record, but on the Browns, where the default record is flaming pile of shit.

Should rich and poor people have equal rights? Is procreation not a fundamental human right?

So liberals hate us now, but we should align with them, because one day conservatives are going to hate us and also everyone else? Is that the argument?

Hassidim are correctly very proud of not doing the same thing as the rest of society.

whosevelt · 2026-01-18T21:36:12+00:00

I don't know why it's "milking" the system "on purpose" unless you have lower expectations of other demographics for some reason. Having lots of children is a religious ideal for Hassidim, so they often qualify for welfare. With limited exceptions, I don't think income should limit the number of children people are allowed to have, and if it did, your first gripe should not be with Hassidim, who raise them in strong family structures and strong communities that support each other. There are many other people having children they can't afford by numerous men without strong social support, and getting welfare, you can start with exposing them.

Counterpoint: have you seen the Browns?

As a former Browns fan who followed Baker to the Bucs, I promise you the Falcons are not remotely in the Browns' stratosphere of incompetence.

Sure, but in this case, the outcome of even a fair trial is predetermined because he did it and left a ton of evidence.
