Israel already look horrible to anyone paying attention, the entire West is backing them

You’ve missed the point - I am pointing out that being forced to hide who you are at the risk of losing your job doesn’t actually give people a choice and saying that they do is disingenuous. Criminalising someone’s identity doesn’t give people freedom to be who they are which the supposed freedom you say exists.

It’s just leaning into semantics while forgetting there’s real life people at the end of it being told to hide their sexuality or gender because some chuds are up in their feelings because not everyone is straight or identifies with their gender at birth. Sounds free to me /s

Not pissed enough to actually do anything about it, mind you.

That’s like saying you can murder people but there’s consequences - let that sink in bro

Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite

Nah it doesn’t but I’m pointing out how the bastion of freedom that is the US ain’t as free as people like to think :)

Y’all have those book bannings, right?

You seem to have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - I’d suggest picking up a book sometime.

No, they are a gigantic conglomerate they can afford to give you actual currency. Don’t accept bullshit from corporations

Of course - it’s 2023, we don’t actually own anything

My brother in Christ, I have covid right now

Honestly that’s been a bit of a plus in the sense I’m spending much less time scrolling mindlessly on my phone. Of course I’d prefer that reduced time to be of a higher quality but the pros outweigh the cons for me

What an absolute dogshit headline - this old white man certainly needs to better at avoiding giving clippable highlights but the journalist absolutely knows what they are doing.

What do you actually like about it? Unless you are rich, it works against you in every way and is actively chipping away at your quality of life. The free market isn’t free and meritocracy doesn’t exist so it’s hardly the fair competition capitalists make it out to be.

Negative - occasionally I’ll find something on Google but I search for other options before resorting to Reddit haha.

Hottest was 45c in Agra, India - coldest was probably -2 in Canberra, Australia.

Yes re: lifting weights - it did take a while though. I had to start lifting for medical reasons and the first 2 months were an absolute chore. Now you need to handcuff me to stop me going lol

What helps in my experience is ideally going with a buddy but if that’s not possible, finding out what exercises you enjoy and focussing on them first. No point making it more difficult than it needs to be to start, the best workout is the one you can be consistent with. Headphones and a podcast help too

As much as I dislike corporations, the conservative parties and judges deserve as much, if not more, blame for this.

You mentioned it bro, not me. I’d guess America also treats its military members like second class citizens, pretty common to see stories of the VA leaving soldiers high and dry after quite literally using their bodies to fuel imperialism.

Hate to break it to you but the US is last in OECD nations regarding universal healthcare and I can’t believe I have to explain that
