Careful, you'll trigger the Lemmy libs

Never had the equipment. I'd definitely try it if I did.

Back extensions are king. Try to work up to 30 reps, then add a little weight. The low back pump is unreal

Low back injuries are no joke! I'm plagued by chronic low back issues. I have no idea what causes my injuries (other than sitting all day lol). Just go slow and if anything feels tweaky, cut the set off.

I've really been hammering back extensions lately, and following some advice form YT lowbackability (as suggested by Jim wendler).

I'll be honest, modern internet/platforms are toxic and alienating as fuck. I don't connect with anybody anymore. Are we even conversing with humans?

Internet back in the 2000s was so fucking fun and I made connections all the time on forums and stuff. Nowadays? Ehh.... never.

"The technology is really simple," he told ABC7. "A car drives by, we take a picture. It's a static picture of a car, and then we read the license plate. That's what the technology is -- it's actually not that complicated, it's pretty simple."

"People who don't read the news are uninformed. People who read the news are misinformed." -Mark Twain

"freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie." -V.I. Lenin

"we're ok with the Nazi platform..."

What do you mean "they don't work"? $130 Billion worth of data centers have been blocked by protests this year alone. Congress is drafting anti-data center legislation. Governors are passing moratoriums on DCs. Public sentiment has never been lower for AI/FLOCK and datacenters.

Trump voters will happily eat shit just on the chance that a Liberal smells their breath.

You just refuse to read because it challenges your bias.

Copy and pasting another reply on reddit:

The original “evidence” of 1 million Uyghurs being sent to concentration camps original stems from US propaganda outlets,Washington-backed NGO claims millions detained after interviewing eight people,While CHRD states that it interviewed dozens of ethnic Uyghurs in the course of its study, their enormous estimate was ultimately based on interviews with exactly eight Uyghur individuals: https://thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/china-detaining-millions-uyghurs-problems-claims-us-ngo-researcher/

The Keriya Aitika Mosque that was claimed in 2018 to be demolished is actually still there. They were merely renovating, albeit most buildings surrounding the mosque was replaced with newer/bigger ones as Xinjiang is developing incredibly fast. https://medium.com/@sunfeiyang/the-case-of-the-keriya-aitika-mosque-efa29e456339

The often used picture of Uyghurs dressed uniformly lined up sitting in a re-education camp actually comes from an early 2017 picture of regular prisoners in Xinjiang listening to a public speech in a regular jail. It wasn't just prisoners who listened to the speech. https://web.archive.org/web/20180820154817/https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1564669932542581&wfr=spider&for=pc (scroll down to the middle to see the picture).

The video of a supposed Uyghur being beaten for having a copy of a Quaran, was actually an Indonesian police beating a pickpocket. The police was discharged afterwards. https://factcheck.afp.com/no-not-video-chinese-soldier-beating-uighur-muslim-having-copy-koran

Some pictures of Uyghurs in Chinese detention camps, including that of a crying child, are pictures edited from protests, people rescued from human trafficking, and Uyghurs protesting outside in 2009 as a result of a riot that killed 156 people. https://factcheck.afp.com/these-photos-show-protests-istanbul-and-xinjiang-and-migrant-shelter-thailand

Claim of a Chinese police officer strangling a Uyghur woman caught praying is actually a video of the police officer restraining a violent drunk woman in 2018. https://factcheck.afp.com/video-shows-police-officer-pinning-down-drunk-chinese-woman-his-knee-hotel-shenzhen

Picture of “forced labor” of Uyghurs, first published by Forbes, originally came from a factory in 2010 Brazil. Forbes later changed the picture without announcing their error. https://i.redd.it/20mzu89zo1d51.jpg

Picture of an “uyghur” with his eyes/mouth/ears sewn shut, is actually a picture of Abas Amini protesting the UK’s treatment of asylum seekers in 2003 https://i.redd.it/9zixb3ukmad51.png http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/nottinghamshire/2941780.stm

Rushan Abbas, who claimed that her sister/friends are locked in Chinese concentration camps, is actually a participator of Guantanamo Bay in 2003 with CIA ties, which has verifiable human rights violations against Muslim prisoners. When confronted she claimed she was only a translator, but also justified Guantanamo Bay. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/e9ad4n/i_am_rushan_abbas_uyghur_activist_and_survivor_of/

Much of BBC’s visit to a Uyghur re-education center have words mistranslated or taken out of context by BBC in order to fit a certain narrative. Nevertheless, BBC did make a second unannounced “surprise” visit late at night, only to see Uyghurs leaving the center, supposedly for the weekend. https://medium.com/@sunfeiyang/breaking-down-the-bbcs-visit-to-hotan-xinjiang-e284934a7aab

Sayragul Sauytbay first claimed that she did not see any violence, only hunger and that they never had any meat. However, later her story changed, claiming that they were forced to eat pork. She also added a new story that she saw police raping prisoners in public, and anyone who showed facial expressions or couldn’t watch was taken away and disappeared. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/world/article-everyone-was-silent-endlessly-mute-former-chinese-re-education/ https://www.haaretz.com/amp/world-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-a-million-people-are-jailed-at-china-s-gulags-i-escaped-here-s-what-goes-on-inside-1.7994216

Adrian Zenz claimed that according to 2015 and 2019’s Health and Hygeine Statistical Yearbook, 80% of all new UIDs in China were performed in Xinjiang. A check of the source (pg 228) shows that it’s actually 8.7% not 80%. UIDs are also reversable and is the preferred method for most people in Xinjiang, while more extreme, non-reversable methods for birth control are relatively more preferred in other areas of China (most notably Henan). https://web.archive.org/web/20200712091001/https://s2.51cto.com/oss/201912/05/1822362d5f7ccc8ff5d87ecdba23e64c.pdf

Uyghur models for 'concentration camp' video?Is there a concentration camp that's so lax? Security won't know if you have a cell phone. There are New Year's decorations hanging at the door. Security guards with their heads down playing with their phones and no weapons. There's a grandmother in a sweater outside the door. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eetc6DPUwAIIPZv?format=jpg&name=large

Congrats, you fell for the propaganda!
