mastershakeman posted:There's tons of books on it. The thing is most of the exercises are hard as hell exactly. especially if you are a person who has been pretty active in team sports (like myself), the camaraderie aspect of using the gym and lifting cannot be denied. some people just aren't wired for or used to the heavily atomized, bloodless lifestyle quar has forced on us and we as a society need to reckon with that. the only people who enjoy the Zoom chats, Peloton workouts, and watching marble races instead of the NBA/NHL were doing drat fine before this and will do drat fine after.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:They're just spiteful people who think there isn't anything you can't turn into a tribal war, spite is a natural human motivator It's this. If the situation was reversed and the Dems were pushing the 'open the country' agenda while Trump and friends were against it, all the chuds currently bitching that the government is violating their rights would instead be claiming that we have to follow the governments orders even if it means we lose access to some rights during this terribly troubled times.

shovelbum posted:"It can never work because Americans are too dumb to make it work" is sad exceptionalism. it's not based on americans being anything, but on how the carceral state came to exist. it was explicitly developed to supplant enslaved labor after the civil war. after the civil war a bunch of laws were developed called the Black Codes that basically made "existing while black" a crime. this included things like vagrancy (unable to prove they had a job) and loitering (many people that were formerly enslaved traveled and waited in towns because they were searching for their stolen family).

A lot of places don't even have this When I was looking for a new place to live several locations didn't have cable internet access, I could get satellite, and I didn't have cell coverage either for my carrier and the ladies didn't know who provided. One place had a well pump. I noped out fast
