No, they support him because they'll get their agenda adopted under Trump and they won't under Biden, and they don't give a single gently caress about any of Trump's actions. In fact they're all for it because the press will be all over Trump and will ignore everything else going on. Just look at what the federal government did pre-covid from 2017-2019. That's what they want, and that's what they'll be voting for. Trump can do whatever narcissistic things he wants as long as conservatives get more federal judges, lower taxes, and rollbacks in public education, environment, and a hundred other things that Trump himself doesn't give a single poo poo about.

Is crossfit different in the US? The pullups and situps are supposed to be controlled both up and down. You don't flail your arms/legs to make it easier which negates the muscle(s) you are supposed to be working out.

Sorry, I'm thinking of circuit training. Got confused!

Also this is so dumb and the chance of serious injury is pretty high with using momentum and strength along with not controlling your descent with strength.

Cross fit is one of those things where you think it can't possibly be as dumb as people make it out to be but it is, in fact, worse.

Because the average target of Crossfit is wannabe UFC fans who are paying outrageous prices to take a Crossfit course.

yeah I think the original idea was it was more important to get people in the habit of exercising rather than making sure they do it precisely right the first time, but people immediately interpreted that as technique doesn't matter and now crossfit technique is just whatever shortcuts let you do a less strenuous workout at the long-term expense of your body.

Cross fit starts making a modicum of sense once you realize that it optimizes for feeling like you're getting a good workout in, at the expense of the workout's usefulness.

A recent wild Trump lol.

An acquaintance posted on Facebook about how scared she is about the possibility of Trump being elected again and her cousin Kramered in to say how she should be relieved because of how he's such a strong advocate for good, especially women.

When I responded about his desire of gently caress his daughter, the rape conviction and "grab 'em by the pussy", she asked me to provide proof of any of that because people say bad things about Trump all the time without any proof.

After confirming with her that she was actually serious about never hearing any of that, ESPECIALLY "grab the by the pussy", I sent her all the links a cursory google search could provide making sure that they included sound clips of him saying these things.

Fully expecting her to just call them deepfakes, she went an unexpected route.

She told me first that all the men in her family have said and likely done worse things than that and she still loves them.

The she told me that she is confident that if she scrolls through my Facebook history, she will easily be able to find examples of me also being a hypocrite and if I didn't drop this Trump bashing now, she would dig it up and show everyone.

When I asked her if she really thinks my problem with the examples I sent her was Trump being a hypocrite and if she has ever considered telling the police about her family's admission to rape and "worse" she blocked me.

I've been in constant fear she is going to out my hypocrisy any day now
