Its the latest manosphere talking point. Pretty much a repeat of saying all protestors are paid by George Soros and the Clintons.


It seems more like the little-boy-o-sphere. Who over the age of 15 is following these performative preeners who spend all day at the gym? Tough men lift steel, not iron.


What does this mean? Barbells are made of steel

The bar is made of steel, the weights are made of cast iron. Steel is stronger, hence its use for the bar that must withstand deflection. Tools and equipment that are used to get things done are mostly made of steel, as the primary thing they need is strength.

I thought you were wrong, but it turns out a lot of cheaper plates are indeed iron. Bumper plates used in weightlifting, the kind I normally use, are steel though, which explains my confusion.

Well then, it sounds like you can adopt my slogan even within the context of weightlifting.

The way I see it, I only need to be able to deadlift things like jacks, chains, SSQA fork frames, etc.

How do you know if I am left or right, and who is touchy? Its just ridiculous to assume they are paid to live there. It doesn't all revolve around the US.

If anything, the Greenlanders have fought for the right to be Greenlanders.


"The Left" (by which I presume you mean any American who still believes in the US Constitution, individual liberty, or limited government) understands that our position as world leader hinges upon the trust of our allies, and that we already had all of the access to Greenland that we needed.


> "Left"

> get so touchy about Greenland

lmao


is it still invite only? I tried downloading the app to give it a whirl, but apparently you need a code to even open the app


A school's budget is tied directly to attendance. Less students = less budget.


You say that as if Palantir does not already have all this information ready for AI analysis today.


Or that the NSA doesn't have it all centralized, tagged and sorted.


Air alarms are going off in Hawaii. Still a few hours away, but they are not joking around. Saying it can wrap around all the islands and hit anywhere


Phone just went off screaming with a warning here in NZ - more a "stay away from the water" warning than a "head for the hills" one


Impressive, glad the alarm chain works. And from what you say the warning message is also clear and understandable. Not tech or geology jargon that people don't understand and then take no or the wrong actions.


It will arrive in California in the middle of the night. Hope they don’t materialize.


I have family staying in Waikiki


This you? What made your stance on this subject change?

  How can you even have democracy without freedom of speech?
  How can you freely choose who to vote without free exchange of information?


OP did not at all imply they felt that way, rather was implying an argument on behalf of the drafters.

God, this forum is becoming more like reddit every day with folks ignoring commenting rules and assuming bad faith. (of which ,I am doing myself right now.)

this post doesn't even belong here.


> There are times you can politicize an issue. A flood that killed a bunch of young kids at a summer camp is not one of them.

This is the same argument that is made after every single school shooting in America. How dare we seek solutions after tragedy. Lets just stick to thoughts and prayers


If the full summary of your recommendation on problems like private property and weather prediction is “you should have voted for my team”, youre not actually participating in solving the issue.

Did we understaff? Did we cause alarm fatigue? Can the states systems be upgraded? A true investigation into the issue would be great. This is not that.



Some vehicles EPA miles are way off while others are spot on.

AFAIK, there are several reasons for the increase in autism diagnosis, but a few key ones people forgot about...

1. DSM IV, the old way, had a separate diagnosis for many autism related disorders. Think Asperger's, pdd-nos, etc. When DSM V was released, many separate diagnosis were umbrella'd in to autism spectrum disorder. The old disorders simply disappeared and are not made any more.

2. Getting an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis opens up a huge amount of insurance and educational leeway. You go from qualifying for general therapy to intensive support therapy, classes, and more. At school, with the diagnosis, you get expanded help for kids that are really struggling. So there is a strong will created by parents and educators to try to get that diagnosis. When you are struggling, this extra support can really help everyone, the kids, teachers, and parents.

These two points alone may account for a lot of the increases we are seeing. I don't know why they are never mentioned by media and the skeptics.
