I'm not sure I understand which argument you're supporting here.

I don't share your pessimism.

I promise I'm not completely stupid, but the first time I saw an ad I went looking for ways to never see them again and came up with nothing. I'll look again, though!

I pay for Nitro yearly to the tune of $15 a month and the ads cannot be disabled, only hidden after they come up.

So yeah, I've cancelled my subscription, this is only going to get worse, especially once they're completely beholden to shareholders.

Lol, What to hate worse, the people or the shit they make us all go through? 🤔

I'm trying to be a more understanding person, but goddamn

That's part of the problem, many who have fallen into this pattern have been groomed to think Option 2 from the time they were born. This is unironically what they earnestly believe. But I'm pretty sure the insidious marriage of religion, wealth, and politics was the plan ever since the L they took during Watergate.

Yes, that is what makes it a joke, the subversion of expectations.

Makes pretty good sense to me. They're using the meme format to imply that there are no differences between the two, i.e. right wing propaganda is just Russian propaganda.

I'm not sure I buy into Dems being Republican-Lite, but through that lens Biden's actions do seem pretty suspicious

Just build a wall. Make America pay for it.

My tips for doing pull-ups:

Do them a lot, in any way you can.

Resistance bands are great for putting a foot or knee into, relieving you of some of your body weight, so that you can actually put your muscles through a full range of motion at an easier level.

Pull-up machines do basically the same thing, though they aren't as common.

Gymnastics rings can give you a lower position from which to pull, so you can rest your heels on the floor with your body in an L shape, again reducing the weight you have to lift.

Negative pull-ups, where you start with your chin at bar level (normally by jumping) and then slowly lower yourself to full extension, will also build your pull-up muscles.

A chair that you can put a foot on will help, too. Or a friend who can hold your foot/feet (and who knows when to let go, lol).

And finally, losing weight in other ways (cardio is a good one, so is calorie counting) helps a lot, for obvious reasons.

Hope this helps and happy pulling!

I was very surprised to hear that China arrested him for it in the first place
