Many of them still have privately held slaves. As you can be forced into slavery as punishment for a crime and all but Louisiana, North Carolina, and Arkansas have private prisons.
well Dota 2 is Dota just on a new engine for a good while they also had patch parity until Dota 2 moved past the limitations of the WC3 engine and so DotA was abandoned
There are no stereotypes in memes. Never ever morshupls
Also, in your bio, speaking of stereotypes:
No sense arguing with tankies. Every take I’ve seen from hexbear itt is absolute brainrot, and I can’t wait until we can block entire instances. wojak-nooo
Feeling something strongly, no matter strongly, doesn’t make your subjective opinion about people you don’t like into a fact. You’re contaminating the definition of “fact” just by being that enraged about people that you disagree with. expert-shapiro
Dude you have to exercise and stretch. I actually went to a “movement specialist” personal trainer for a couple of sessions and that helped a lot. My near constant back pain is non-existent now.
Good suggestions, the key is to break a sweat as many days as you can, consistently and sustainably.
Another option is taking tai chi, yoga, or shotokan with a good instructor; good instructors can be hard to find though.
All three of those have really helped me at different times, particularly with posture and movement (tai chi the most, but it takes the longest to actually be able to do it).
Never done Pilates but I’ve heard very positive things about it.
Yes, Pilates is great! Still need to find a new course for after work (old one is not campatible with my work hours anymore), but at least 34 km on 3 to 4 days by bike is my current workout. Don’t do home office unless you use the time saved for something like Pilates, jogging or other recommandations from above.
Social media companies have worked so hard to become walled gardens and have vastly succeeded. Someone naive is like “hey check out this meme” and it’s a facebook, or instagram, or toktik, or twixxxer link that requires a profile before you can can see the content so they can start to demographically align you toward the bulk data they want to advertise toward.
I deleted pretty much all social media years ago, but I stuck it out with Reddit until they fucked over third party app devs. It’s wild to this day how much of my family is surprised that I don’t have a Facebook account
Yeah and just imagine the car insurance costs for those apocalypse-mobiles. It would cost a small fucking fortune every month! How can anyone afford to drive one of those?
Implying that parents don’t have any free time? I mean, my time isn’t “my own”, but my wife and I sure as hell have free time.
Personally, I would go insane without free time – likely literally. I would be an anxiety-ridden mess with a hair trigger. If my chores won’t allow any free time, the chores don’t get finished. They’ll still be there tomorrow.
I guess there are scenarios where I have free time, but it’s less than 30 minutes daily. In some evenings I can fight the exhaustion of a full day of child care after putting them to sleep to stay awake and get some free time, taking into account of being very tired when they wake me up quite early.
It probably gets better when the kids are older, mine are little.
Two humans are just too few to take care after two kids. Originally humans were not isolated to 4 person families like they are today. The whole tribe was looking after all the kids, sharing different duties and having a collective schedule, similar to Kindergarden today, but the whole day.
After that a few generations lived together in one house, still having less impact on the actual parents. Then we got our 2 parents + kids family model where in the beginning one parent was doing childcare full time.
Arriving in todays society, where both parents need to work and do the child care on the side by themselves after parental leaves from work are over. This is from the age of 1 where I live, but e.g. in the U.S. it’s right away.
Obviously this most parent hostile setup in the society of today, adding also some financial disadvantages, is a big reason this societies demographic issues.
My first had major medical issues (for her first 3-4 years) that necessitated close supervision after a 3-month stay in the NICU. She had PT, OT, speech therapy, and feeding therapy every week, appointments with cardiology and pulmonology, gastroenterology, regular post-operation and post-NICU visits, and the normal doctor appointments.
She took a lot of work, and severely limited our options for going out, due to a feeding schedule (while trying to limit projectile vomiting – and I do mean vomiting, hard and loudly, not just “spitting up” – to 2 times a day, when possible) that allowed practically nothing. Still, we managed to have downtime, where we could just relax and unwind. It’s how we stayed sane.
Given the circumstances, a second child really changed very little, in terms of work required. We still found time for ourselves.
Admittedly, it would have been impossible (or extremely cost-ineffective) for me to have a job at that point, but my daughter was a full-time job and then some. I realize that this probably negates everything I’ve said to most in this thread, but still.
I worked night shift in a metal fabrication shop about 11 years ago.
Two bastions of humanity figured out that they could light an oxyfuel torch and adjust it to a neutral flame, snuff the flame out of a glove or something, and then use the torch to fill a plastic sandwich bag with a perfect mixture of oxygen and acetylene. They would then place this bag somewhere and light it on fire, which made a lot of noise. They had great fun until they tried it with a small office-sized trash bag. The word of the day is brisance. It made a tremendous bang which cracked some glass in the shop, but of course our two heroes were caught in the blast amd burned, because a sandwich bag made a loud pop, but a trash bag was more of a bomb. They lit the trash bag like they did the little bags, by holding a lighter to the plastic.
We had another shop in the chain I worked for fire everyone for doing that when I was a mechanic. There were no injuries but the neighboring businesses called 911 because they thought there was a bomb.
I was at an xmas party one year where the workshop boys did this with an upturned 44 gallon drum. It was the loudest bang I’ve ever heard. I thought we were under some sort of attack.
They expected the drum to launch a little but what actually ended up happening was the upturned metal bottom blew off and launched a LOT punching a hole in the workshop roof. It’s a miracle that nobody was hurt (their hearing probably was). Somehow they didn’t get fired.
I was invited to a rural party for new years, I’m pretty sure it was 2003-2004. I drank entirely too much, and saw some friends crushing beer cans, and was inspired. I found an old 55-gallon steel drum, put a bunch of water in it, and rolled it into the bonfire. Once steam was shooting out, I put the bungs back on it and rolled it into the pond. After a few minutes, there was a metallic “bang” and the drum was folded in on itself.
The guy who invited me to the party told everyone for years that I used my head to crush a steel drum.
