Kettlebell swings are a perfectly safe exercise as long as you spend some time to work on your form. That said, I also don't understand why the ever living fuck you'd do one hundred reps for? There is no fucking way you're maintaining form for all one hundred of those consecutively.

I'm honestly kinda baffled, the more he says the worse it looks for him to just about everyone. Even MAGATs at work I know are starting to get uncomfortable and the hats have slowly started getting shifted over to more generic red ones (which I find hilarious). Is he just stupid or is this supposed to be some sort of scheme? I feel like it must be stupidity but it feels too stupid even for his cadre.

I just have to disagree that there IS a dichtomy between what could be defined as natural and unnatural in this case. I just cannot see that it is a particularly meaningful difference between what is being categorized as "natural" and "unnatural". I fundamentally believe it to be something that's more emotionally relevant to people than meaningful in a material sense. Also, I particularly loathe when people use emotionally charged language to describe natural processes, nature really does not give a single shit about morality or ethics or the things we value, it's not a "good" or a "bad" thing outside of the human lens, everything happens for material reasons and nothing more. Quick post-script, if you're the one downvoting my posts that's kinda disrespectful, I thought it was an interesting conversation I wasn't telling you to "shut up and agree with me" or anything. If that wasn't you then I apologize for suspecting you.

Yeah it's pretty sketchy to stretch the claim that far based on their data. It's also just a hard sell when you can very easily observe the typical caloric intake of professional athletes and note how high it can get without any sign of obesity. But the general point still does seem to stand, you can't just start working out and expect to lose a bunch of weight without also adjusting what you eat.

When I saw the name I was little concerned that it'd just be a boring slayerworship band but nah this is pretty cool. I've been really enjoying this mini-renaisance of bands looking at NWOBHM and saying "what if that was modernized?". Turns out, if you modernize it a little it becomes fucking SICK.

"meant" what do you mean by "meant"? who meant? why did they mean for that? You're not making sense, you're ascribing special properties to manmade enviorns and acting like they're polluted, bad, or different in some essential way. That manmade enviorns are polluted, harmful, or otherwise damaging is just incidental, they don't HAVE to be that way, you cannot just assume that they're innately worse than "natural" enviornments, they're just different. I just want to understand how you think "manmade" is any different from the effort ALL fauna and flora makes to change their enviornment to suit their needs. Is it "natural" the bees build hives? Is it "natural" for beavers to damn creeks? Were trees "meant" to alter the soil chemistry around them to fight off competitors? Did bryophytes defy nature's will by evolving a waxy cuticle to survive in locations untouched by plants before they evolved? Humans, nor any other animal whatsoever was "intended" to live somewhere or some way. This a fundamental error so many people make when talking about the ecology of our planet, there is psuedo-religious way of looking at things and ascribing of anthropocentric values. None of this has a purpose, none of it has a goal, none of it has an intent, or a desire, or any sort of human-like trait.

No I'm sorrry, "the environment" is just everything around you. Your house is the environment, new york city is nature. These distinctions are made up in our heads but deep down there is no essential difference between your house and a tree, or the city you live in and a forest. We haven't seperated ourselves from anything, we've just changed it. Changing evolutionary pressures doesn't mean we've somehow unmoored ourselves from it, traits are still being selected for and against it really doesn't matter how anyone, or thing cares about it. It MAY end up getting us all killed, but the process will continue anyways and the "fit" will continue to reproduce more successfully than the "unfit". It's not that I don't agree with you that the things that get selected for aren't what I'd consider good, or that will make us happiest as a species. It's merely that natural selection as a process will not "care" about what we care about because it is a process, nothing more.

Something something, even blind hunters, and all that jazz.

Survival of the Fittest isn't failing, it just doesn't follow what you'd like to be "fittest". If a person is more reproductively successful because they're religious, guess what, that makes them "fittest". It really doesn't matter if it's stupid and illogical, just that it succeeds.

Love this group so much, just incredible shredding solos and just enough of a technical flair to compliment the brutality without watering it down in the slightest. So much fun with this album in general, check out the track before this one too, absolutely shreds, the drummer here is perfectly complimenting everything done by the guitarist, it's sick.

Yeah, they don't ever really quite perfectly land the "squishy" parts of aesthetics and appeal quite as well some bands do, I think they lean into the more boring elements of Sludge's aesthetic too much for that.

Who needs to brush your teeth anyways? I'm sure this Woodford Reserve will keep my mouth disinfected .

Good, clean slayer-worship as Satan intended.

I'm skeptical of trying to put myself on too much of a pedestal for what things I choose to consume, but I do feel with some conviction that I am 100% making the correct choice but trying to only minimally connect with social media for any kind of reason. With full awareness of just how snobby I sound saying this, I see the shit my co-workers and friends talk about from TikTok and instagram etc, and I'm just thinking the entire time "this is not that funny, or interesting" It always feel the anthropomorphized equivalent of a dog's chew toy. " Anyways, enough verbally fellating myself, if avoiding social media is making you feel better and less anxious then stay away from it, but if it's not really working and it's just making you feel isolated from your peers then maybe indulge at least a little. Stay conscious of your usage and don't let it eat into your psyche, but you don't always have to consume the "Best" media at all times, it's okay to eat some junk food from time to time.

Yeah, there is a certain datedness to the movie that goes beyond the actual time and space the movie takes place in and the special effects. Something about the dialogue, and the casting, and overall tone is just so diagnostic of pre-MCU superhero movies. There's been a bit of a trend to try and recapture some of that camp from the studios lately, but they haven't really committed to it.

Honestly I'm with ya'll on this. disgraceful get some taste.

I'll never be upset to see more Finn-death that's for sure. Single is pretty promising, hope the rest delivers more of that nice punky DM.

Love to see more Tampa rep in here, particularly for one of the coolest albums to ever come out of the city (and that's saying a LOT). The only band to really seamlessly capture that sci-fi atmosphere as well for me is Vektor who are CLEARLY inspired by this album (it's not subtle).

"Accusations that I am a spy are tainted with anti-semitism". To this day I'm really shocked that it just works for everything. Get accused of literally anything and just say "anti-semitism" and the interviewer will just nod as if that isn't a non-sequitur.

This album finally healed the wound that Unspoken King caused in my heart. I speak hyperbolically, but at the same time this really did cement them as more than washed up. It's not that As Gomorrah Burns wasn't "good enough", but they really needed to land the follow up to win my trust back. And frankly, they fucking did, this album kicks so much ass, I don't want to commit blasphemy, but I think it might even be better in spots than None So Vile.
