  • Can confirm.

    Having an progressive program tailored to one’s goals is key. In the first 6 months of going to the gym I wasn’t seeing a lot of results. It was certainly better than nothing; I was learning the exercises, developing the base level strength to handle beginner weight levels… But where were these newbie gains everyone was talking about?
    It wasn’t until I got on a good plan that I started making noticable leaps in strength. A year in, I decided to add in some cardio (just a 2 mile run) and suddenly I started blowing up.

    When I finally got my routine optimized I could be in and out of the gym in an hour. 3 times a week, that was it. If I was tight on time, I would simply do my run on my off days.

    So daily investment of 30 to 45 minutes.

    You can buy a cheap weight bench and you won’t even have to go to the gym. Hell, you can buy a cheap rack, too, like I did and do every exercise in your home for free.

    You can accidentally lose 45 minutes just zoned out on the couch flipping through channels, so time-wise, it’s about the best ROI you could ever make.





  • You seem to be under the impression that everyone is getting the same news. They are not. This gripping drama isn’t even on the radar of the so-called normies. And they wouldn’t care either way except to align with how the story is spun to fit their preferred narrative.

    For others, they already know. This is just another of a long series of “news” tidbits thrown out for the more disgruntled masses for them to sit, smugly, in the comfort of their armchairs, and with vindication, feeling temporarily superior while verbally masturbating with each other and becoming aquatic decorative experts.

    It’s fine, and par for the course, really. The people most affected by the current status quo are generally incapable of making any meaningful contribution to their own collective well-being. I keep forgetting that and shouldn’t have even bothered to mention it.







  • God I hate these overwrought, click-baity titles; they cheapen the very event that’s important enough to become newsworthy in the first place. Just stop. It’s not a fucking sporting event and treating politics like it’s entertainment, instead of with the gravitas it deserves, is a big part of the reason we’re in this mess.

    If you’re reporting the news then fucking report it. Don’t embellish it like it’s a fanfic you couldn’t get published. The Daily Beast is one of the worst offenders, all their titles sound trashy and it smacks of pandering to stupid people, just like Fox news does but for Democrats.
