  • How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?

    Jump

  • I recommend you to try and ignore looking at your weight on the scale or how your belly circumference changes or the like for the first month or so. Your weight also is a rather broad metric. A kilo of muscles is not the same as a kilo of fat.

    Just focus on doing your exercises well and feeling how they will get easier/you can do more reps week by week.

    Another quick thing you will notice is your pulse going down. After a stamina exercise right when you stop, take your pulse on your neck. take it for 10 seconds and multiply by six to get your hearts bpm. Then after two minutes of rest take it again.

    Do this every week and you will see a difference right away as your body adjust into moving.

    Also i know most people want to build up big muscles and go with high weights. For getting fit i recommend looking for muscular endurance training first. This will help burn fat as you do many reps. It will improve your general endurance and it will help build muscles in a way that protects against injuries. Think of this like warming up your muscles before you enter into training to increase your max power. Alternate these two types of training over time.

  • I disagree on it being difficult to build muscles without a gym. Most exercises with your body weight will be more than enough for the first years of training.

    For people who start at maybe being able to do 5 push-ups, hitting the point where push-ups wont train them for muscle growth will take a long while. Also what kind of muscles do you want? big packs that can do 10 reps at huge weight, but fail you while unloading a moving truck? Or muscles that are well trained for endurance and stamina? For being fit and healthy i recommend the second style.

  • My uncle. Very smart very neuronal. He knows the entire Internet, can you imagine? the entire internet. Like the mails of Crooked Hillary Clinton, that crook. You know what stands in that Mails? my uncle knows. He makes the best code. The most beautiful code. No one has ever seen code like it, but for him, he's a genius, like i am, i have inherited all his genius genes. It is very easy. He makes the best code. Sometimes he calls me and asks me: you are even smarter than i am. Can you look at my code?

  • If someone gave you 5 billion dollars to improve the world in any way you see fit, what would you do?

    Jump

  • When authoritarian governments get coup'd and there is external influence seeking to further destabilize. Also every authoritarian dictator needs a class of people loyal to the regime, who fall into the category of people wanting power but also staying alive.

    We also see many dictators that got more paranoid over time as they ruled too long, because there was no opposition to keep them in check until things exploded fully.

  • People who seek power being more scared that being exploitative has consequences, so they limit exploitation.

    It took hundreds of years of revolts to get from absolute monarchies to representative systems in most European countries. You could argue the French revolution failed because it was succeeded by Napoleon. You could also understand it as an important step forward.

    Take another example in Europe. Initial plans were to create an US style capitalism in Western Germany after WW2. However it was understood this would create a large class of disenfranchised and poor people. This would have given communism a chance to become the dominating ideology in Europe. So instead capitalism had to be coated with social security, access to opportunities by education, access to home ownership... Structures that were subsequently damaged and destroyed after the collapse of the Soviet Union as now the ruling class thought themselves to be able to exploit people with impunity. Something that will fail eventually, but get much worse until then.

    It is like brushing your teeth. Yes they will get dirty again. But not having the perfect solution to keep them clean forever cannot dissuade you from brushing them regularly. On the contrary it makes it all the more important to keep brushing them.

  • Microsoft blocks emails that contain ‘Palestine’ after employee protests

  • Because the company being complicit in serious crimes against humanity and war crimes is a work related issue. You know like your boss demanding you to be an accomplice in a crime is a work related issue and most likely you have signed somewhere that you would report any suspected criminal activity to HR or your higher ups. Problem is if these are part of the crime too.

    If we lived in a world where there would be a rule of law thousands of Microsoft Employees would face life imprisonment for being accomplices to serious crimes.

    Calling this out is definitely work related.

  • Dems Hemorrhaged Support from All Demographics in 2024 — Including New Voters

    Jump

  • The DNC is spending a lot of money and effort to keep Progressives down. See Bernie 2016, see lack of proper primaries in 2024, see having some old ghoul with cancer snap a seat from AOC to then retire a few month later because of his cancer.

  • AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

    Jump

  • Yes it is. If the part "for the people" turns out to be captured you drop it and get in an actual party for the people. Rinse and repeat as needed. There is a problem with political parties growing too old and becoming too institutionalized. But keeping them in power instead of giving them the boot is a choice made by the voters.

  • Voters want Dems to stand up to Trump, not self-flagellate

    Jump

  • Yeah, this article is completely omitting, why Biden and Harris lost. It is not addressing that the current party elites are the same party elites like before the election. Biden and Harris life on politically in the DNC.

    But it continues to simmer; data analyst Lakshya Jain argues that “Democrats are on the verge of a Tea Party-style, intra-party revolt.” He also identifies the anger as directed at Trump, not Biden.

    “The numbers suggest that the fury is at least partly fueled by the Democratic base’s dissatisfaction with congressional leadership’s relatively conciliatory approach to Trump this time around, and their inability to stop him,” Jain writes.

    It is the same "revolt" that was tried to prevent the party from loosing catastrophically to Trump by being a pro genocide pro wall-street party. It is the embracing of "bipartisanship" and peddling to "moderate Republicans" like Dick mass murder Cheney that is now voting alongside the Trump administration and rightfully despised. It is the same liars that kept pretending Biden was at his mental faculties when everyone could see videos of him wandering around blitzed out of his mind and gaslighting everyone who said Biden needs to drop out as "secret Trump supporters".

    There will be no improvement without acknowledging what went wrong, who is responsible and most importantly tossing the responsible people out and letting a new generation take hold, one that does believe genocide, war crimes and capitalism sucking the blood out of everyone are indeed wrong and need to end.

  • Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?

  • First of all stop calling it AI. It is just large language models for the most part.

    Second: immediate carbon tax in line with the current damage expectations for emissions on the energy consumption of datacenters. That would be around 400$/tCO2 iirc.

    Third: Make it obligatory by law to provide disclaimers about what it is actually doing. So if someone asks "is my partner cheating on me".

  • AFAIK they would remain tied to your old account. The instances copy everything off each other. So if reddthat.com would go down, your comment would still show as EndlessNightmare@reddthath.com If you were to make a new account on a different instance it would not have your posts and comments "attached" to it.

    This could be an issue if you rely on reputation for something that is tied to your account. In that sense having some mechanism to proof the old account to be owned by you would be good.
