Anyone have favorite (preferably free) programs for building strength. Body weight exercises are best but I could probably get ahold of a kettlebell.

Assuming you’re going to replace it with anything, where are you going. I downloaded rednote which is kind of like Chinese instagram because it’s a perfect F-you to meta and everyone else to go straight back to Chinese tech. I’ve also heard the names Neptune, lemon8 and a few others thrown around. Where are you guys headed?

(However I believe we’re truly losing something important that won’t be replaced, TikTok was one of a kind in the fact that everyone was on it despite it not being American)

This is a liberal forum, we don’t allow extremists of any type including Cheeto loving MAGATS and Chinese supporting “Tankies.” Most people here believe the current systems are flawed but they can be changed. We advocate unequivocally for ranked choice voting and removing corporate donations in politics (to learn more listen to All Things Considered from last Wednesday).

I want to stress again that we don’t allow any sort of support for undemocratic and violent nations. Whether that’s China, Iran, Russia, Venezuela or Hamas we condemn them unequivocally.

I just wanted to make that clear so that no one is confused. 😀

I'm trying compile (for instructional use) a set of very vivid/egregious/horrifying examples of consent manufacturing in the Western media. Stuff like this:

Got any good examples like this? Post 'em!

Free speech until it’s used to mobilize protesters against the killing of children in other countries

Also is that the best softwares to learn for that kind of thing?

Why was that chosen when we became Hexbear instead of chapochat

That’s mainly it, I’m not the first to point this out

Protagonist has some super good coverage of lower league amerikkan soccer, which i'm going to start post more about.

Fuck that shitty ass plastic money grabbing league. What kind of soccer league uses a goddamn franchise model, territory rights, and billion dollar expansion fees. They are monopolizing and have done more harm for the game than good, boycot that shit.

Lower league American soccer is its own fun-ass mess though. The drama between leagues, the constant hope for promotion and relegation, and the high chance that there’s a team in your area makes it metal as hell. The USL Championship (2nd division of American soccer, although there is no pro/rel in this country) final was last Saturday and it was sick as hell. I’m bummed the fuck out that Charleston didn’t make it into the final but Colorado Springs played a great game vs Rhode Island. If you go further down the pyramid you’ll find even more authenticity and good times. USL2, The League for Clubs (coming soon), and UPSL are all fun places to start down the rabbit hole. I love this shit.
