Like, honestly....

I absolutely hate working out. I'm exhausted from my day job and the last thing I want to do is go waste the little bit of energy I have doing something I hate. Even if I did lose weight (which I already did once but gained 80% back due to school/work), I could never seem to gain muscle even when I had a really good strength training routine 3-5 days a week. I don't think I'm naturally great looking. I mean hell...I don't need much, but I look at dudes like Nick DiGiovonni or Max Wyatt and wonder what life must be like to be so effortlessly good looking. So maybe a few very small face procedures. A slight lift would go a long way. And before people start giving me platitudes on beauty self-esteem, someone who drives a 1997 Saturn can see a 2024 Range Rover and have enough common sense to know it's otherworldly better. Same goes here.

So, I'm thinking Kybella and CoolSculpt/SculpSure/Vanquish everything. Just hit it hard like V-Jolt does to Plant 42 (what's up gaming forum). Then get loads of EmSculpt with repeated sessions. I wouldn't have to get on that STUPID treadmill other than to maintain cardiovascular health. I wouldn't have to spend all day working then spend another hour dragging myself to different weight machines. It just all seems so clear.

Am I going off the deep end? Anybody have experience with anything I mentioned? It is the weekend...

The students with the group calling itself Students for Justice in Palestine, were sitting on blankets and lawn chairs in the encampment. They were taking part in teach-ins on alternatives to policing and how to effectively use memes, as in online videos or images, in social movements.

They added the seven students who were arrested “took one for the team” and they hope that will open dialogue with the university.

Some of the other people arrested that day as well:

I

one of the best feelings in the world
is calling a fucking pig a fucking pig
to their fucking pig face

II

when I walk up to a pig w their riot visor down
& say fuck you pig, melt your badge
& burn your uniform—I don’t call a pig
a pig to their pig face bc it feels good
I call a pig a pig because we should see
the leashes around their neck

III

just got back from the action in Humboldt / Logan
the State had the pigs in riot gear lined up
in front of their pen like a wedding receiving line
very convenient to communicate our terms to each pig by name:
melt your badge & gun, burn your uniform

three pigs, visors down, stood
at the end of the receiving line
& openly gripped their billy clubs
in upright striking position & pounded the baton
into their waiting palm

I bet you can only get hard
with that baton in your hand
ready to beat some one

when I get beaten again, I’m gonna blame Deleuze
& my poppy for being a fucking smart ass all the time
& myself of course, I will remind myself:
none of us are to blame—it’s the fucking pig’s fault
for being a fucking pig

I hope when he gets out of jail and goes back on ree he acts like a grizzled civil rights veteran and becomes unbearably patronising to the vegetables. You donated to the charity? That’s cute. I did that when I was 15.

Well, on Reee he's now the closest thing they have to Malcom X.

Sorry Neppy, you're all bark and no bite.

Noodlesoup seems like he might have been being given special treatment, being brought out by himself. I wonder if there was any reason with how the arrests went down.

Exactly. When he gets back I want full on Che…Take a carrot, leave a carrot? Huh. That’s cute Nep, and hell, it may even work for you civilians but lemme tell ya, out there on the frontline you’re gonna learn real quick the only place for carrots in some cop’s fuckin eye.

[Alpacx]

I love laughing at Reseterans but seeing a young man like noodle soup get radicalized on B-Dubs' forum and then get arrested for something completely pointless is depressing.

Hopefully his family/the school/the cops/the DA put the fear of God into him, he logs off, and gets his life on track.

This isn't anything near the worst thing "Genocide" misinformation leads to but it's not great.

While I also think a lot of people are partially overreacting (the ones not living in places without PSN support), is infuriating how ProSony/ProCorporative the forum tends to become.

User Banned (2 Months): Falsely attributing Islamic extremism to a genocide, encouraging oppression of civil rights, bigotry.

WHAT

THE

ACTUAL

FUCK

many times on that forum i have seen them ban normal (or ex) muslims for saying how fucking radical/conservative islam is especially in countries where it has become political, and they get perm'd or mega banned even tho they have lived experience and has a voice on that matter than anyone else of its realities

islam is by far the most conservative shit on this planet and era and liberals will defend if even if most muslims disagree 1000% with their views like lgbt, they'll defend it while an extremist beheads them and many muslims nod in agreement

i know multiple muslims even in germany, and they work like normal middle-class jobs and these guys are extremely fucking conservative 10000% against gays, trans, blacks, everything, they constantly talk about how great it is to be muslim, how islam is so great, and demand to be heard when people shitting on islam, and liberals come and defend them 100000% percent. it makes zero fucking sense

i also know ex or chill muslims that arent up the ass of muhammad, they get some smokes and drinks and chill and fit into society and dont have a visa wife, fucking chill ass dudes, but these dudes get shut down by their own communities/societies as outcasts, and same shit happens to them on era and liberal spaces whenever they talk out against it. and most of it is white liberals defending islam in general which is mega conservative on everything, i've literally seen a white liberal argue with an ex-muslim about how he is islamaphobic lmao. that dude just got banned by some white liberals, one told him to "fuck off" when he laid down some facts. same shit everywhere

[kaleidoscopium]

The Palestinian genocide claims just come off as extra retarded when you look at the population numbers, Palestine/Gaza have positive growth each year. Is Israel this incompetent at genocide? Or is it that there isn’t one and you’re being played for fools by a terrorist run country? 

Curious

[Shecky Fragbaum]

As someone who watched his country burn into the ground by Islamic extremists, I feel so deeply sorry for the Western world. Hopefully you guys still have some sane people who could fix the issue. The "fixing" might not look pleasant to you, but it is a necessity and comes at a hefty price for those doing it.
God bless them.

If you have access to someone from Iranian diaspora, please talk to them. Ask them about the 1979 revolution, and all the shit that happened before and after it. Watching these protests is like watching 1979 revolution footages in HD. You think you are doing the right thing, but you are just being used for an evil cause. Seeing Hams/Hezbollah/IRI flags on US soil was unfuckingbelievable. I know I am in the extermely small minority here and this post might get me banned, but I wish you all good luck. You guys need it.

  User Banned (3 Months): Dismissing Transphobia; Prior Serious Ban

I'd say you can safely ignore the dramatic cries of "don't move to TERF island," the average person doesn't really care and ultimately this is one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly countries in the world, certainly one of the most in Europe.
My girlfriend is currently undergoing the process of coming here on a working holiday visa, based on your replies in this thread that would be your best option. You're young so you can get away with just coming here and enjoying yourself a couple of years, work in the service sector etc.
Not the best of times but still a great country. Generally quite friendly and welcoming, which is what you want as an expat. Live in the north, it's much cheaper than the south. Weather is the worst of it but Europe is a £20 return flight away.

Defending terf island is just a little spicier than offering up measured criticism of Iran, fair enough. But I can't shake the feeling that one of the three mods adjudicating these bans would be swinging from a crane in one country while having a mostly jolly time in the other.

While I do still think folks overreacted, it's clear at this point that Sony not changing course is 100% the worst decision, like holy fuck, I am so curious how many folks will get refunds and I imagine many that do, will likely never re-buy the game again.

lol. such an overreaction.

Guaranteed that the people getting refunds are the most insufferable toxic members of the community. Good riddance.

What an odd thing for Steam to decide to cave to the mob over.

Someone please fucking tell me why this matters so much when I'd love to see a single one of the people complaining don't have an account tied in through another service in some other game. Or not having a windows login, etc etc. And no don't tell me region, as Sony has said you can pick any country in your region without penalty.

Guess that includes people who live in countries that doesn't have PSN.

Which is funny because they then demand to Jews to disassociate themselves from the concept of Zionism and they get offended when they explain why throwing the term is problematic and how integrated the actual concept is integrated in their culture even if they dislike what the Israel government is doing.
