    Here is the neat part…nobody will get involved for a matter of internal “policies” with the country with the biggest army in the world.

    I suspect US is on its own now.

    But at least libs have been owned, Biden has been punished for supporting Israel, the trans will not play sport (all 5 of them that wanted to)…

    It’s so depressing that the social network disinformation campaigns where so effective 😕

    I think it turned out worse than that.

    I am ok with “question everything”, the problem is that people don’t believe in reputable sources that don’t confirm their beliefs, they look (possibly unreliable) sources that confirm them

    I think it is due to the echo chamber of social networks. People have constant confirmation of superficial “sources” and they continue to want that.

    Incidentally it’s the reason I use lemmy where the algorithm is not optimised to the point of echo chambers (also looking for “all” helps)







  • I am proud of you!

    I am proud of your persistence in front of difficulties and challenges. I am proud of your achievements.

    I am proud of you even if I haven’t told you before, I am proud even if I belittled you, even if I fucked up.

    My behaviour and response to your efforts has nothing to do with you. Not a justification but it is about with my (generational) trauma and lack of seeing my own achievements. I would apologise for all the pain I caused to you if only my trauma allowed me to see, feel and realise all the pain I caused.

    I think that, above all, I am proud that you are not repeating my own journey and you are a much better person than me.

    I would say “interests at large” rather than dollars.

    Ukraine is military strategic interest (nobody in Europe wants to have Russia to randomly decide to start a war with an EU country)

    In Middle East (with oil) is dollars

    In Taiwan is military strategic interest

    On the other side of the spectrum? Myanmar, Gaza, random African conflicts, etc


  • Start weightlifting, more specifically deadlifts. I would discourage you to go to CrossFit and anything that involves mixing cardio with strength.

    Also, use as little machines as possible. 99% of the work is with dumbbells, barbells and a rack

    /me that had back pain in his late 20-mid 30… and then started weightlifting and had never had a back pain 🙂
