2024 Presidential Candidate Talk

@castoli711 , don’t listen to these fools. All you can do is provide the information; you can’t educate them if they’re not willing to learn. I am, so please educate me.

I…believe…money can be created out of thin air without causing problems. There. I feel better already.

Yes please educate me with your cartoonish view points.

Money IS NOT scarce, Resources are.

Do you live in the USA? I assumed you do, but wasn’t sure if you ever mentioned it.

I’m not sure you would classify what @castoli711 does here is “living.”

For me it isn’t, for you? It probably is. Just a hunch.

Money actually IS scarce. Everything is scarce. But let’s say we make money much less scarce than it is now. How does that help anyone?

not to derail from the topic at hand, but this isn’t even necessarily the worst thing I ever did that was gym-related. I did that squatting before I was actually competing seriously in strongman. It’s definitely top 5 in my suckiest lifting experiences though. Anything where you come close to blacking out tends to fall into that category.

A few things come to mind that were really awful. I deadlifted an axle bar loaded to 485 or 495 14 times in a minute. That sucked. I also remember a Husafell stone carry, using a gigantic fucking Husafell stone that I couldn’t even see over, for max distance in 90 seconds. I can’t begin to describe how much worse 90 seconds is than 1 minute. The stone inhibits breathing in a significant way. Truck pulls are pretty terrible when the truck is particularly heavy. And I pretty much avoid shows with a yoke these days, lol.

Hey if you like coming close to blacking out, try grappling! Then find a big, strong guy with a colorful belt to train with and see what it’s like to be positionally asphyxiated for a few minutes.

Right around the same time I could squat 405 for 9 I could only do 315 for 17 or so. It was definitely a conditioning/willpower/mid-30’s ex-smoker of 15 years issue with me and high reps.

Nowadays I go high rep all the time…

With lightweight kettlebells!

Doesn’t properly address the statement. And this is because you can’t. So you must address it in a disingenuous way.

Not for the federal government.

I know you do as the U.S. is the most propagandized country on the face of the Earth and you exhibit this reality with your banal posts in the politics forum.

What aspect of North Korea do you think best exemplifies a country being less propagandized than the USA today in 2022?

So yes, errrr?

You have yet to produce a genuine argument, so if anyone’s being disingenuous, it’s you.

I’ll also readily admit that i don’t take you or your posts seriously.
I think it’s atrocious that you so flippantly waste the Bits that could have otherwise gone towards something useful (like pictures of cats), were it not for your incoherent ramblings.

Oh. I see you have really thought this through.

Right back atcha’ D-bag!

And how would that be done?

I assume those in North Korea know that he is a tyrant so voting for him, they know what they are going to get. In the U.S. people still believe in electoral politics. So they are under the wrong impression that their favorite Democrat or Republican is going to change things and be a good leader. While the public has a nil effect on political positions and wealthy/corporations concerns are the ones that are given attention to. This is done by propaganda. They control what information is told to you. This is how the population is controlled. Maybe in a communist country they can just bang you over the head and tell you, you are going to war. In the U.S, you are lied into war. Sound familiar?

Printing more, as you’ve been saying. Guess what will happen to prices? They’ll go up, up, up. We can make the homeless down at the shelter millionaires and the poor in the housing projects billionaires, but that’ll just mean you need trillions to not live like them.
