Injured myself while marathon training so I think the marathon is off for now. Got some issues with my knee. It’s better now but it took 2+ weeks out of my schedule and I don’t think I can or want to compensate it.
Decided to up the strength training and I joined the gym again after more than a year of working out at home. Took me five minutes to realize that working out at the gym can suck ass lol. The gym I was at has 1 lat pull down machine for the entire gym. They have 700 bikes though so I guess you can do that. Might need to look for another location.
lol the red scare paranoia in mexico is insane right now get ready americans, a huge influx of mexican petty bourgeoisie and above is coming to you 😅
Talking politics with right wingers is like trying to teach a pig math. They live in their own little world and then get violently angry when you tell them what’s really going on.
talking to > 60yo right wingers is a wonderful experience
On the flip side, I was talking to day with a truck driver who was Republican. He was complaining about his trucking company, the CEOs and how local food taxes are about to go up due to stadiums being built in the city. I said, “you know, they should really be putting those taxes onto the CEOs and the businesses screwing you over.” Motherfucker said he’d vote for me lmaoooo
I think they might be easier to win over than I once thought.
They’re not all bad, but some of them are just too far gone
The culture war has broken a lot of brains but the key to undoing that is to appeal to people’s class interests. They may not consciously understand those interests but they instinctively feel them. They are looking for validation and explanation, but unfortunately oftentimes they will turn to conspiracy theories, identity politics and other forms of magical thinking for answers. Our task is to provide them a real, materialist explanation, but do so not in a condescending way (the most ineffectual way to do class consciousness raising propaganda is to talk to people in the kind of smug, accusatory, “better-than-you” way that liberals do) but in a way that makes them feel seen and feel that their material woes are being taken seriously.
For sure. I just think it was pretty eye opening for me; that when it all comes down to it, we’re all united under the same banner of struggle. Some people have just fallen through the cracks in the mess of it all.
I just gave up on work and went home between the news today and the Champions League both popping off I was never gonna be getting any shit done anyway
A little preview of something that I have in store for later this month. Should be pretty fun.
Does drinking a single Red Bull give you anxiety?
It can feel that way because stimulants increase your heart rate. What size was it? I’d strongly advise against drinking an entire large can at once. When it comes to caffeine i find that less is more. I dilute my coffee with plenty of milk and when i do have energy drinks (though i generally try to avoid them) i will water them down in a 50-50 ratio.
Caffeine, like any other upper, is bound to give you anxiety. I can’t have more than two coffees a day anymore or I’m bound to become very nervous.
Hi, everyone! Wish you all a happy October 1st in celebration of the PRC.
С днём рождения, 中国!
Today (September 30th) is the celebration of Truth and Reconciliation day in Canada to provide fake apology from Stephen Harper’s speech that state that the fake school death camp Holocaust against Indigenous First Nation people of British diaspora only consist of the mild “cultural genocide” that hide all form of unspeakable savagery and demonic worship that the European immigrants commited. Despite the condemnation of the “Indian Residential schools” which are still called real schools despite the many obvious evidences that they are death camps in disguise, Stephen Harper also boosted that the fake school survivors are so indoctrinated in the savagery and cannibalistic practices of the fake schools that they wish for the return to the fake school savagery without mentioning the indoctrinated desire for savagery. The governments of British immigrants and Catholic churches who perpetuated the fake school Holocaust that inspired the Nazi Holocaust could still continue to evade consequence for their crimes against humanity.
Despite their claim that the European immigrants magically stop persecution of Indigenous people 100 years ago, they secretly continue their Indian Residential fake school genocide secretly after 1997, inheritance thief of abducted from fake cultural assimilation, Federal Reserve concentration camps, planned starvation, planned chemical attacks, and violence against Indigenous women. Despite their condemnation of their fake school indoctrination and slogan feminism, the European immigrants continue their harassment, assault, and assassination of any successful outstanding virtuous Native American women that make achievement to return the matriachy or gender equality of their ancestral cultures.
The European immigrants cover up their ongoing daily violence against Indigenous people with their control over mainstream media that distract people from the Anti-Christ who work through white supremacists and the victim blaming policy that does not apply to Israel, Ukrainian Nazis, victims of Communism, Vuvuzela who are spoiled rich white kids that free ride on Venezuela, or Uyghur terrorists. They also hide the fact that European immigrants could illegally trespass into federal reserves to attack, rape, rob, and conduct business operations under the support of corrupted white authorities or use their absolute authority to ban law enforcement by the local Indigenous government in concentration camps.

this is so wild to me. time have changed a lot and yet so many things are same.
I would like to thank the Tea Club for the fun vacation this weekend, taking me to the zoo, and to a cave, and to the local amusment park, I would also like to thank them for the ending of the trip where they got me 2 24 packs of Dr. Pepper it was truly a wonderful experence and I would recommend it to anyone
elaborate on “taking you to a cave”
Yes… that’s definitely what happened. No one was locked in any basements. Nope, just a fun vacation. By the way, you might want to check what’s inside those cans of “Dr. Pepper” we gave you.
Oh I donated them to the local food bank I wanted to spread the kindness the tea club gave me with my comunity.
also you keep saying this so sinsterly, it was genuinly a really nice weekend. I highly recomend if the Tea Club offers you a vacation that you take them up on it

Good! Now even more people will get to drink the real tea that we replaced the Dr. Pepper with.
also you keep saying this so sinsterly, it was genuinly a really nice weekend. I highly recomend if the Tea Club offers you a vacation that you take them up on it
Yes, if we ever offer you a vacation, do not resist. Um, I mean… you should definitely take us up on our offer :3
It is a few matchdays into the Premier League and Liverpool have a small lead at the top so I have become a Liverpool fan again. Feels good to watch games on the weekend. Not looking forward to when they crash and burn at some point and I lose interest.
Everything a fan doen inside and outside the stadium has a direct impact on the game so keep on cheering
The problem is I don’t think they deserve my support. The only thing I got out of supporting a team based in England while I am in India is that I felt a sense of camaraderie with fellow supporters. Earlier it was through an obscure Malaysian forum that was shut down, then through the subreddit but everything is astroturfed to hell now. If I was around more people that were into football maybe I would be more into it but tempering my interest seems good for now.
How do you deal with being friends with zionists?
you stop being friends
Are they misinformed about Palestine or are they actual Zionists
Let’s go another week
Do the weeks ever stop… I am asking for a friend?
It’s fall again so I can stop having a personality and start wearing cool outfits. I actually like fall with the rain and the wind and the greyness though I want to retreat into the woods in the southern part of the country for a while, to sort out things. Sadly that’s not a possibility right now.
