You’ve missed the point - I am pointing out that being forced to hide who you are at the risk of losing your job doesn’t actually give people a choice and saying that they do is disingenuous. Criminalising someone’s identity doesn’t give people freedom to be who they are which the supposed freedom you say exists.

It’s just leaning into semantics while forgetting there’s real life people at the end of it being told to hide their sexuality or gender because some chuds are up in their feelings because not everyone is straight or identifies with their gender at birth. Sounds free to me /s

That’s like saying you can murder people but there’s consequences - let that sink in bro

Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite

Nah it doesn’t but I’m pointing out how the bastion of freedom that is the US ain’t as free as people like to think :)

Y’all have those book bannings, right?

You seem to have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - I’d suggest picking up a book sometime.

No, they are a gigantic conglomerate they can afford to give you actual currency. Don’t accept bullshit from corporations

Of course - it’s 2023, we don’t actually own anything

So what exactly is the problem with two non-NATO allies assisting each other? You’ve got a lot of words there but I don’t see how this is any different to the Nukes that NATO has stored in central Europe. I don’t blame DPRK one bit for wanting to secure it’s military capabilities while the US continues to sabre rattle against China for absolutely zero reason. The bit I can’t understand is why this is bad when what the US has done historically for decades is apparently A-OK because freedom

Poland is pushing for that which is exactly what SK says NK can’t do - you can’t be okay with Poland wanting nukes and not okay with DPRK wanting the same…or you can choose to be hypocritical ig

So it’s ok when the US makes untold numbers of arms deals all over the world but nobody else can? Like screw the Kremlin obviously but help me understand why one is ok and the other is not.

Why are you afraid of DPRK anyway?

What did Iran do? Hot take but if Nobel is actually serious, they’ll refuse the US, UK, France, Israel etc for similar reasons.

It is when so much of their population struggles in poverty 🙃

Any actual rebuttal or just gonna roll out the usual libshit jab and run along? America has blood on its hands for a lot of things, it found out once and might find out again if it isn’t careful.

Good luck getting any reform that negatively impacts rich people

What an absolute dogshit headline - this old white man certainly needs to better at avoiding giving clippable highlights but the journalist absolutely knows what they are doing.

STOP trying to convince yourself that this is a saveable situation START getting on with life away from Reddit

Yes re: lifting weights - it did take a while though. I had to start lifting for medical reasons and the first 2 months were an absolute chore. Now you need to handcuff me to stop me going lol

What helps in my experience is ideally going with a buddy but if that’s not possible, finding out what exercises you enjoy and focussing on them first. No point making it more difficult than it needs to be to start, the best workout is the one you can be consistent with. Headphones and a podcast help too
