It’s a really heavy choice — every choice is loss. It is so deeply dehumanizing to have to ignore a genocide and complicity in it, and a promise to continue the same policy, which is what Vice President Harris has said. At the end of the day, we’re being presented with a little bit of a false choice: If people can be protesting on this scale, and we don’t have an option that can align with that, and you can suppress anti-genocide voters in that calculus, I don’t know what kind of democracy you’re protecting. And that’s really heavy. My sister is trying to fill in her ballot, and she’s like, “I feel physically nauseous.” That’s real. If I see a shredded child on my timeline again, I don’t know what I’m expected to do, like, vote for that?

This is more than a single issue vote. How can you expect people to cast a ballot knowing that no matter what they choose their ethnicity will be slaughtered from their own tax dollars.

It's pretty sad how many people are downvoting this kind of article that goes over the actual feelings of people trying to vote their conscious and do the right thing. People should actually read the article and understand what's happening in swing states like Michigan. Ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away.

Israel does not represent all Jews. It's a Zionist colonial state, not a Jewish one. Stop making this into a race thing.

I've been buying a lot of Columbia stuff lately. I'm the type where I get hot easily so I've been buying their pants and dress shirts as they use a more breathable fabric. I just got used to sizing up a bit. I'm not at a point where I need to wear a belt thankfully.

.....And they thought it would work? How dumb are they?

General rule on knowing if you're doing it right, you should feel it in your muscles and not in your joints. There's plenty of online resources to see how to do exercises properly and even upload videos to get some feedback if you're comfortable with it. You can also book a couple of sessions with a personal trainer if you are able to.

I'd recommend starting with the basic bodyweight exercises. Push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats, planks. Those kinds of things. If you're having trouble doing it unassisted it then do it partially until you can do it fully. Gyms also have machines that can help you do it with weights to make it easier as you build up muscle.

Lifting weights is also a good idea, but just make sure you don't just do curls and triceps extensions. You need to make sure you do exercises for all your body as all your muscles work together, and if some are more developed than others, it could lead to things like cramps, soreness, and bad posture. This is partly why I recommended the bodyweight exercises in my paragraph above. They're good at targeting a lot of muscles in each workout.

I support people fighting against oppression. And this isn't a conflict against Jews. It's a conflict against Zionists. There's a difference.

I'm 30 lmao.

Pants. I have thicker thighs, especially when compared to my waist size. I find a lot of pants are pretty tight on me because of this. I've started going for the more athletic brands as a result.

Because you're not rich and powerful enough to have lawyers and public influence sway the judge to be more lenient to you.

Back when I used to use reddit there was /r/bodyweightfitness that was really good and I believe it's in line with what you want. It'll help you get stronger, leaner, and it can even done at home. I haven't been on the site in years but I remember they had a very good wiki and even an app that helped define a workout routine for you. I would recommend you give it a look. I'd recommend supplementing it with cardio exercises (jogging, biking, etc), to increase your heart health and help you loose any fat that you might want to lose.

I go the gym 3-5 days a week depending on how busy I am. I mainly start off doing a bit of cardio on the treadmill or bike and then lifting weights. If I have the time and energy, I end it with a bit of the stair machine as well.

Please do share your experience/suggestions/opinions on the it and related topics like sports, calisthenics, general physical health etc.

Different exercises/workouts are geared towards different things. What's your goal from exercising? To lose weight? Bulk up? Just get more toned and have better muscle definition? Have better stamina? How you should be exercising depends on what you want to get out of it.

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

I don't think that's a thing really. You can look up any kind of workout regimen online from anywhere around the world nowadays. It just depends on what you want to get out of it.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

Focus your meals on high protein foods. Meats, chicken, lentils, chickpeas, etc. If you're doing intense workouts more than 3 days a week then supplement it with protein powder. Unless you're looking to become some kind of professional athlete/bodybuilder/whatever, counting your calorie and protein intake is a waste of time (in my humble opinion). Just pay attention to your body, things like fatigue joint pain, etc. Be mindful of them.
