Oh feck off. Most gyms are mostly predatory money grab schemes.
Better to reduce your sugar intake and focus on physical activity with practical effects. Clean your house, do some gardening, volunteer in the community, play some sport you actually like. Gyms are for losers!
Congratulations! Remember to have extra diapers available at all times.
Bah, just need to oil them up with vaseline.
Use it as a cassus belli and invade Germany.
Well, I’d say knowing this can add some stress to it, so it does have some significance in a tiny amount.
Only if you’re drinking too much.
Try them at the same time for a combo kill!
You can die of a heart attack if you overdo it.
People are emotional creatures. And in a place where a type of view is being actively promoted, it’s very easy to align those emotions in that specific direction.
An example here on Lemmy is ACAB. It’s anti-police and it posts the bad stuff that’s meant to show ACAB. They might say it shows the truth and people going through All, watching the videos and reading the articles might start thinking, huh cops seem bad. They keep going, read statistics and articles posted by other commenters and driven by this information, they eventually end up saying ACAB. Suddenly, anyone not saying ACAB is complicit, an enemy, a troll, part of the problem etc.
It’s the same for any politically charged social hub. It’s not just people who had the views but lacked a place to vent them, but people who are ignorant on the subject and are radicalized through emotional outrage. Emotional opinions are the hardest to change because the investment in them is the greatest.
It’s on point.
That word is too well known nowadays. Needs another one.
The woes of true believers.
Some ideas on the topic.
I’ve only met vegans on social media. The vocal minority preaching vegan lifestyle is delusional. Outside of it, it’s still corporations doing their best to make a profit. The regular person just eats quietly and lives their life. The requirements and costs are pittance only in their idealistic view of the world. “If only people would just …” No. They won’t. We are where we are because people don’t. Everyone wants the world to go their way and we kill each other for it.
As an omnivore animal, I eat what my budget allows. Sometimes it’s meat, sometimes it’s vegetables and sometimes it’s cardboard. Just like the wild life, eating plastic bags because they taste yummy. Social media vegans seem to be either the ones that can afford to be picky or can’t afford anything else.
Simple truth is that life can always be better, people can always do more and most of us simply don’t want to.
Then there is the fact that if I was attacked by a bear, no one would tell me I was making it up. I wouldn’t be asked what I was wearing, if I was drunk, or what I had done to provoke the bear
They are wrong about the latter part. Whenever there’s a bear attack, I almost always hear someone asking “What the hell did that idiot do to piss off the bear?”.
A bear encounter isn’t as clear cut as the text you’re quoting would like. Because they do avoid people normally, so meeting one means something is definitely wrong. Good luck figuring out what though.
Probably unlucky.
Try to recall whether you acted uncomfortable in your initial interaction with them. The first one due to surprise of them being the first male social worker working on your case. The second due to the unpleasantness with the former. The first impression usually sets the tone of a conversation, so there may have been a misunderstanding which then solidified into prejudice.
Or they were jaded asshole. Who knows.
It’s like we are mirrors of the universe… woah!
The Israelian people will eventually need to put their foot down and redress the current situation else they’ll lose their nazist victim card and instead become the nazists of this century. And few countries will dare to look kindly at them then.

By the way we trash talk on the internet, i’d say we’re pretty rich… in spirit.

Stop wasting time at the gym! Go build a house for the homeless instead!
