Capitalism can never work, because it’s self defeating. The point of capitalism is to maximize immediate profits, nothing else - as a result, it will gladly destroy its own means of growth if as a result instant profits increase.
But it’s working, many are happy. If you’re unhappy it’s probably your fault and not the fault of the system you are living in. Take ownership of your situation and improve it.
20 percent of children in the US are food insecure and we have the largest prison industrial complex on the planet. If I had a shittier job and broke my leg I would end up homeless. My cousin who can’t hold down a job due to a chronic illness would die on the streets if she didn’t have family support. But yeah the system works.
Sounds like a lack of compassion in your family. Just build a unit and live together, makes live easier if you support each other. But no the system is the problem! Some people would be always losers, regardless the system.
What about disabled people who have no family? What about people who have family that can’t support them financially? What about people who can’t afford to build a unit? The system is the problem. We are more insulated from it then most.
Criminals aren’t going to be using services that comply anyways. They’ll have their own underground ones. This is just a violation of regular citizens rights.
I never got the whole arch thing. Arching your back is cheating.
Edit: I apologize. I was taught to do it without arching from my kinesiologist. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. Thank you for the links to the articles on the subject. I appreciate it.
I don’t agree. Arching your back is technique. Using your biomechanics to achieve a more efficient lift. This is like claiming utilizing the bounce out of the bottom of a squat is cheating.
I used to do a lot of lifting. It’s very easy to get the technique wrong, making it more likely to get a back injury. Arching can work out, but it’s a great way to get hurt. Same with bouncing out of a squat.
Arched back is an issue when squatting or dead lifting or other movements with significant vertical load on the back. Not the case with bench pressing. Bouncing out of a squat is also perfectly safe.
I think it’s worth saying that they are advanced techniques that have a decent potential for injury. Inexperienced people should avoid them entirely. Even experienced lifters should have someone trained watching them as a spotter. Remember, your back needs to be arched for the entire set. Anything else is likely to cause injury.
I very much disagree about bouncing out of a squat. Maybe while warming up or with light weight it’s ok, but with heavy weights, the safest technique is a steady and smooth motion while staring at the top of the rack to force a straight back.
You’re talking about possibly multiple different squat types. A full depth squat you’ll naturally want to use the bounce, that means you’ve done the exercise correctly, it’s entirely natural.
A full depth squat with no bounce would be called a pause squat, you are purposefully controlling the bounce so you train a different part of the movement, you use these with regular squats.
A box squat or parallel squat does not use the full range of motion, you either stop at your thighs being parallel to the ground or you use a box or a chair for a queue.
If you have someone discovered something that every expert hasn’t, you should write a book!
The thing about full squats is that when you go below parallel, you put more stain on the tendons in your knees than your muscles. There’s greater potential to hurt yourself.
It’s not cheating, it’s a healthier, more stable lifting form that activates more muscle groups. I don’t compete anyways, I just want to get the most out of my gym days and this is how my personal trainer and competitive powerlift taught me.
can we please talk about what ripoffs those shops are? They sell you a 1L bottle of lube for 96 bucks that is only 16 bucks online, the profits are off the charts!
I love conflicted podcast. Condensed: fuck organizers of these attacks (likely iran) just before historic peace treaties in the region. They knew fully well what would the response be.
For fucks sake everyone stop arguing about what you use. The whole point of an open standard is that you can use anything to use lemmy. If you want to sell your left ball and all your privacy you do you.
I am more amused at how everybody missed that one Snoo antenna Reddit user I drew on the right side crowd. Syncpissers wanted to downvote like ledditors and fight instead.
