I mean, this all depends on whether re-staffing the abandoned/destroyed military bases is part of the deal. If the bases stay closed the empire is genuinely diminished. And that’s a good thing for our ability to operate in domestic politics. A left leader while we have bases open in S Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Poland is social fascists/democratic at the very best. If the US is forced out of the region in anyway its a progression towards the end of the empire
So DJT saw that there was nowhere to go but nuke and that it would be career if not literal suicide for him to do so, and then - without actually speaking with Iran - uses this big doomsday countdown to signal a big negotiations win by just accepting Iran’s terms outright? No negotiation? No whittling down? So is the 2 week period to withdrawal all US troops from the region? I cannot imagine this is genuine but also they’re out of fucking interceptors so maybe???
Do you think he went with an all caps CEASEFIRE because he remembers people were screaming it at libs on tv and he’s hoping he can get any shine off this anywhere he can find it?
Taxes are a short hand for the consent to be governed. To question what your taxes are paying for is to question the legitimacy of the government to act on your behalf
Y’all ever think the Russiagate stuff was in the know libs trying to warn about how compromised Trump was by the Epstein stuff without specifically indicting their best friend Israel? Election interference, sex tape blackmail, the whole thing
Hell yeah brother. I need more Tom of Finland muscle hunks in my content. Too many twinky anime boys. Legolas nudes out, Gimli nudes in
The horrifying reality is that nukes are just another tool in an arsenal of war and not a magic game over device that is too evil to use. It is not a magical deterrent and the empires are more than willing to shoulder a little nuclear hellfire to achieve their goals.
AWS going down warmed my heart because it made me realize it wouldn’t be that impossible for a motivated group of individuals to bring down the net. You just need to find the right server farm
If you’re progressing that fast you’ve probably got a lot of easy gains to make with the other muscle groups too. If you’d like to keep increasing muscle mass you should start hitting actual weights, bodyweight simply won’t give you the resistance you need to efficiently grow strength and mass. If you’re set on sticking with bodyweight though, I’d recommend getting into circuit exercises. We use them for wrestling to condition for working under exhaustion. Try setting 5-8 exercises and hitting them in 45s/15s or 1m/30s on/off intervals. I either set ours to do 1-2 exercises per major muscle group or just go all in on one major body movement (the explosive hip hinge motion is a huge part of our sport so there’s lots of burpees, long jumps, reverse lunges/paratroopers, buddy pulls, etc)
Muscle growth is most effectively triggered by getting the muscle group to the point of ‘the burn’ and then hitting a few reps more. There’s a hard fall off here of diminishing returns, so it’s best to prime the muscles with an ignition set and then work in smaller sets on short time intervals so you never rest enough to leave ‘the burn’ zone. I like to start with an ignition set of 8-12 to form failure (up the weight if you’re hitting 12 easy) and then work to hitting 24 more reps, working to failure each time but then only resting 15 seconds between sets. So typically I’ll hit my ignition set, start the timer, and then work down by hitting 8 reps, 6, 6, and then 4. You can apply this principle to bodyweight routines, but the set up might change as you can’t adjust weight to progressively overload the muscle group. Instead work on getting the muscle group to that burning point when you can feel the lactic acid start to build up and then try to stay there hitting extra sets of reps as long as you can.
Saw some Ukrainians had put together an AI targeting bot on top of an M2 50cal and just let it rip on approaching drones. Feel like we might be getting dumbed down active protection systems off of tanks fit to everything that can move. Soon we won’t even need anyone to be left alive for the machines to keep the war going :D
The Operator-ization of the military and its consequences

I have been so left in the dark by my athletic director here. Like I’m fine to be left alone and manage myself, but I don’t have a key to access the gym, I don’t have login info for our state governing body tracking website, I don’t have any information about our team funds or how to access them and I need to start buying equipment. I’m just hanging in the fucking wind waiting for them to get back to me and the season starts in a week and a half. Fuuuuuuuuuck me
How do we not have an Aleksander Karelin emoji? Or even a Mijain Lopez? We’re failing the icons of socialistic wrestling

Have the image of that Israeli guy hawking AI web scraper tech on fox news flashing in my head. I feel like today might have been a bad day to create a new account on this site
We are living in interesting times however
