I loved Slugabed's and Samuel Organ's collaborative project Peter Talisman. There's only one album out though and I don't know if they're going to make more. I've never heard music like that and so hasn't the Internet, because neither spotify, youtube or last fm is able to give me something similar to it.

If this is OSINT call me the CIA (slight /s)

another mod said that @[email protected] is funded by the NED. Source: https://archive.is/G5Dh7

lmao you actually believe that us joking around that we're being funded by the NED is evidence that muad'dibber is funded by them?

For your information the NED is a CIA front created by an Act of Congress, it's a tool of regime change established after the CIA lost their capabilities to simply go change presidents in other countries in the 60s-70s.

The running joke on Lemmygrad is that we're all feds. You're wayyy out of your depth lol

Except they're sanctioning themselves!

Can you point to an example of where MLs inflicted pain and suffering on innocent working class people?

Xi is a marxist-leninist but the PRC recognizes Xi Jinping Thought (like they had MZT etc for all general secretaries) https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping_Thought

He joined RationalWiki decrying ProleWiki as a tankie encyclopedia (despite him calling himself a Stalinist, or a Hoxhaist, or an MLM, he went through them pretty quickly) to mark good boy points with the liberals. Also tried making an article on Lemmygrad there.

The admins promptly banned him because they at least realised it was soapboxing. Then after that he went on the revived leftypedia, who was just setting up again, to deface it and make pages on lemmygrad and prolewiki. We got in there with forte and corrected his very funny but very wrong narrative he pulled out of his ass. This prompted him to create alts which were totally not him guys. He thought he was super clever about it and the mods bought it, but on the matrix (which he never joined for some reason but I did) everybody was tired of him and the only reason they could not ban him completely was because the admins were unresponsive and there were only mods with limited power.

He also tried to take over the communism fandom wiki which had no moderation and was eventually deleted because fandom doesn't allow political topics.

I'm picky about my discussions. Yes we should educate, educate, educate, but we are not in a position of power currently. Yet I see more and more people turn towards communism by themselves, and doing the reading. These new communists you can have discussions with.

There's certain social rules to a "discussion" (I still don't know what kind of discussions this person wanted to have). It requires that they be open to actually listening, even if they disagree. There's value even in liberal writers because they pull data and sometimes they can make surprisingly interesting analyses. I remember a student telling me about their masters' thesis on the energy challenges of Nigeria and it was interesting to have the data, even if the conclusion was very liberal and capitalist. Did I get up to him and attack him on every single point? What kind of discussion can you have if you do that?

If this person wanted a discussion, he could have sent an email. He could have joined the Discord -- they're all more prominent than the request an account button (which is a problem we're looking to fix). Why is giving him an account a better vector for discussion than the other methods? With an account, he can deface our pages and he knows this, because we have analytics and we see what people look at.

My second rule of discussion is I give the energy I get lol. If people start out hostile then I'll be hostile with them, so this person deserved everything they got.

PS: It's funny though because he looked at this page https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Talk:Juche/Archive and then left the website forever according to the analytics lol

There are some assumptions that are always safe bets to make, and this is one of them

Singapore actually, but honestly not that far off practically

Lemmy is open source so all of this would happen on the repo like it's been going on for 4 years, at most they should know where to start looking (in practice if they're a programmer they'll know what to do once on the repo).

Yeah that was essentially my reply in the rejection email:

How can there be a discussion when you don't even know the material you want to "discuss" against? Do you see us barging into college classes and start arguing with the prof on biochemistry, climate engineering or pharmacology? To assume you are more knowledgeable than us is not only disrespectful, it reeks of self-righteousness. You believe your NATO-friendly brand of socialism to be correct, and everything else to be incorrect, but you've clearly never engaged with Marxism in any capacity, otherwise you would know the abolition of the family has nothing to do with "breaking up families to raise kids in Huxleyan labs". You're like a 6th grader who mistakenly entered a college class; way out of your depth.

Read our pages, read our library, and then come back to ask about a discussion. It's time to graduate from fiction and kids books (we're surprised you didn't namedrop Animal Farm) and into real political analysis if you're actually serious about this.

Thank you comrade, that was the whole reason I set out to writing this guide in the first place.

Lol I also have flat feet. It's not an issue, you need custom-made insoles for your shoes, and I have two pairs: one for my sports shoes, and one for my every shoes. They're the exact same insoles, it's just that I was tired of changing them out every time (also helps their longevity) so I got two made.

Resistance training is great for mobility, the stereotype of the huge buff dude who can't scratch his back is just a stereotype, muscles are the basis of mobility, and training them with resistance improves their elasticity as this is what they are, springs 👍

If you have scoliosis (I apparently have it) it's important to know beforehand, but if you don't notice it, physical activity can only help you, especially if you do back extensions. My symptoms have completely disappeared since I started really targetting my lumbar muscles; they form sort of a protective layer.

You can improve your caloric intake (and follow protein quotas as per the guide) while doing this routine, but you need to add some progressive overload. Every time you workout, add more 1 rep on each set. Eventually, add a whole set. Eventually, start looking at more difficult variations.

And yes it should have some pullups in there too 😀

I'm guessing what happened was that you severely cut your consumption in terms of volume and your stomach got used to that new standard. At least based on what you're saying here.

It's possible to "retrain" your stomach to accept more food and not send the signal for fullness so soon, but the only way I know how is by forcing yourself to eat, and eventually you'll adjust.

Additionally I should point out that foods high in salt, fat and sugar are sort of a cheat code for fullness; your brain loves them and so you don't feel full after eating them, which is why some people still feel hungry after eating fast food. But I wouldn't recommend dirty bulking, it'll just make you put on fat and no muscle. But I've never tried dosing this myself, e.g. adding a teaspoon of sugar to my (air-fried) fries because I'm on the other end of the stomach spectrum, I'm always hungry lol. This would reduce the salt, sugar and oil to let's say healthier levels and might still not send the signal for fullness.

You could also look at caloric drinks; it's another cheat code. Our body doesn't interpret fluids as having calories and you don't get that feeling of fullness, but we're back to the same problem where drinks add calories by adding sugar. I mean there's protein drinks and everything but I'm not sure they would fix the problem of not satiating you.

You don't need trainers if you follow the mass building routine in my guide (been following it myself for 2 years now with great improvement); however where a second opinion might be interesting is on proper form when doing the exercises. Most people at the gym will be happy to coach you a bit but everyone has their own ideas, and sifting through the bs takes some knowledge.

Yeah, Lemmy takes donations here: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

Lol I was about to link my guide before reading your post.

1500 calories is where I'm at currently on a cut and losing weight, so I take it what you're saying is if you stay at 1500, you'll lose more weight which is dangerous as you are currently underweight?

I would tell you to snack on nuts during the day. 100g of nuts contain 550 calories, they contain good oils and a lot of protein.

Otherwise, add oil to your cooking. Oil has 884 calories for 100g, so adding just two teaspoons of oil to your cooking quickly adds up to 100 calories. If you cook twice in a day, that's 200 extra calories.

But high fat consumption also leads to disease down the line, I don't remember the name right now but it's a problem known in some populations that cook with oil a lot (and other fats).

Is there something in your life or diet that makes you feel full so quickly, or has it been like this forever?

Everything else should be in the guide 😄
