Doing a wall sit felt easy with 20kg, so my trainer added the other weights on top.

This. Putting it directly over the tibia while shins are perpendicular to the floor does nothing more than put pressure on the bones. If you want to make it challenging, it would have to be near the hip crease, on the shoulders, or in the front rack, such as a goblet position. Otherwise, whether its 20KG or 80kG, it will do close to nothing to muscle activation and as long as the pressure on the legs doesn't bother you, you could hold similar time without it.

You must be a real expert to refute his points. A real man of science if I had to guess.

AG of Kansas and AG of Texas are pursuing Pfizer legally, among others.

Mark Zuckerberg is just a nut who loves to lie.

Let keep ignoring how the FDA had to backtrack on Nobel Prize winning "Horse dewormer" and how people effectively used to fight the virus.

Nah, it couldnt have anything to do with corruption or why Canada bought 400m doses knowing they were good for the year for population of not even 10% of that or how much money was wasted on ArriveCan, I am sure glad those billions of dollars were invested into our failing health system or public schools.

Cannot be lobbying and corruption creating fear while pushing the vaccine and vilifing other approaches and punishing all dissidents (something we dont even do for vaccines vs viruses with double digit lethality), must all be conspiracy.... That kind of pharmaceutical lobbying has never happened ever, these companies have squeeky clean legal records.

Why do people want kids

Specific-Vanilla

People forget that literally a century ago, kids used to die to the winter and to common diseases that we have vaccines and medication for, if they survived childbirth that is. Whole families would slave away on farms with not enough rooms and barely have enough to make it through the winter, forget luxeries, entertainment, or trips... these types of posts will never cease to amaze me how good life is, and people still complain about how they weren't born in the 1960s-1980s so boohoo poor them.

I am the father of three in my early 30s, making average salary, raised in misery, never had a father, and I came from a third-world country. Having kids isn't for everyone, but it is by far the most meaningful thing I did. Ultimately, if you don't want kids, that's your choice, but we are living arguably the wealthiest and with the most safety nets in human history (a few decades aside), so let's stop trying to have these pity parties where our life is out of our control and everything sucks.

SeptemBEAR is a fluke and a lie

Message received: puts taken. Thank you for your contribution.

On a sidenote, I love how half the subreddit is like "we are heading for a horrible recession and one of the worst bear market we experienced since 2008" and then there are people like OP "hey, I know September is historically bad month, but this month it will be great because of.... reasons."

Hate doesn't pay!

This sub is hilarious. Just say you dont like bitcoin and move on, the copium for a bad decision and the doubling down is apparent.

This subreddit reminds me of when I bought bitcoin in 2017 for 1k... I mentioned it to my boss, he said I was stupid... then it went up... he sayed it was just a matter of time I lost my money... then it went up... then he said he started doing research on it and the market crashed to 3k... he was so happy and gleeful that he didn't buy "into my scam" and kept asking me how much I lost when previously he never cared about my portfolio... fast forward, I sold a small portion of my coins, never had a problem with my ledger, never got hacked, never lost my keys... and I kept DCAing, I only work part time now and it's funny how my boss isn't interested in my portfolio anymore.

Yet you'll still have people here in another 5 years talking about how they are happy they didnt invest while it will be at 6 figures, talking about "this isn't hate, we're on a financial and moral mission".

why not short?

My best trades and biggest profits have been shorting, in recent year. Find it much easier than going long imo.
