Yeah, this. I know it’s tempting to imagine that all the people opposing good policies are evil masterminds operating on a reverse Marxist understanding of the world, but the problems are much more structural. All sorts of weirdos run for office, and businesses fund the campaigns of the ones whose weirdo ideas line up with what they want, and that is sufficient to put people in power who perpetuate capitalist interests, without anybody actually thinking “perpetuate capitalist interests” at any point in the process.

You could’ve just mowed the people who complained!

Whatever the amount of stairs you need to walk up so that your muscles are sore the next day, do that, take a breather, do it again, take a breather, do a third one, take the next day off. Do that three days a week, for two weeks, and see if it’s getting easier.

That’s not a complete fitness plan, but it should do fine for the first two weeks.

If you want more homework, start eating salads and vegetables. This doesn’t have to replace any existing meals, but try to eat your vegetables before meals, and stop eating if you’re not hungry. The goal with that is to get used to eating healthy food, so you have options later when you need to start reducing calories.

You might not like it, but this is what peak walkable neighborhood performance looks like.

I’ll switch to in favor of it if they replace the people enforcing evictions with AI.

Doesn’t the squat rack have plates already? It’s not really doing much if it doesn’t?

Normally I’d second getting one of those variable weight dumbbells, but if you already have a barbell it’s kind of redundant.

My favorite cheap piece of equipment are those sliding disks for doing mountain climbers and stuff. But if you have smooth enough floors, they’re competing with wearing socks, which is cheaper.

But what if we add one branch for each subset of the set of all real numbers.

What you’re missing is that I’m just posting things with whatever headline will make people laugh.

Mushroom foraging can be safe, but the rules are:

• Always learn from a local guide first. It’s not transferable to other regions. Which makes books a bad way to do it, and the internet a horrible way.

• You don’t rule out dangerous mushrooms, you identify a specific edible mushroom.

• Never trust a little white mushroom.

A bollard isn’t edible, even once.

Google search peaked in 2014 - that’s when it’d let you do “that movie where [horribly vague summary of an incidental scene]” and get you the answer.

But the complete dropoff started in 2019, when they started letting the ad team remove anti-spam features to game their numbers.

I hope they get all the skins working, and it becomes popular on Linux.

It’s also easier area. Cheeks and neck are way flatter than chin.

one person making all the decisions is a dictatorship, so having free will is authoritarian
