it's just meatloaf with cheese
Meatloaf is an abomination either way.
I had to put you on ignore for this

The reason that otherwise-sane people end up watching (and emulating) Alex Jones is because the pretense of "humor" is the salt added to abhorrent ideologies to make them palatable.
Everyone insidious ideology has a safe layer of 'humor' surrounding it, making the first dip-of-the-toe into the waters not so frigid (or even pleasant). Every initiation of every member of every pedophile-ring in the world started with such a 'joke'.
Are you saying sam hyde is dangerous? Or are you saying humor is dangerous? Or are you saying politically incorrect humor is dangerous?
Umm probably people that want to fuck kids? People that think Alex jones is correct? I dunno. I don't think humor is a necessary requirement.

Adieu, this doesn't apply to groups of close friends: to the extant that they are indeed "good friends, they already know the quality of each other's character.
The idea is that you're symbolically asking a new person--or a new group of people--how they feel about the trespassing of a certain social boundary or taboo. The behavior of the person (or people) is the "answer", and if the answer is "no", the speaker claims he was merely trespassing the social boundary for comical effect.
Yeah, and I agree to the obvious "walk back" technique that serious people in serious positions use, but I do not think Sam Hyde falls into this being that he's an entertainer.
you can tell when he is off or on. When he is on it's funny/edgy when he's being serious it's like this

I mean, I definitely have implicit biases, but that is completely different.

Here is a sociologist explaining what "just joking" means:
nonsense
I make racist jokes to be edgy around my friends, because they are good people and they cringe at it. The point isn't to make racism acceptable to us, nor is it intended to normalize racism. It's intended to get a reaction, just as all jokes are.
I'm not racist. I don't care what color someone's skin is.
-
you are conflating a politician using "just joking" with a comedian using "just joking" wherein everything the comedian says as part of their work is intending to get laughs.

eh, it's only from serving on his administration. not all lobbyists. so not near as exciting.
It's good that they realize people are paying attention to who they are trying to appoint and reacting to it though.
meh
"On its face, the lobbyist ban appears stringent, but it could be easily skirted if a lobbyist were to deregister to be eligible to join the administration. One sign indicates that it may already be happening: A close aide to Pence who is a Washington lobbyist, Josh Pitcock, filed paperwork with the Senate on Monday to terminate his status as a federal lobbyist. Pitcock advised Pence during the presidential campaign, and has lobbied for the state of Indiana since 2013, earning $280,000 a year to lobby on a wide range of issues including health-care marketplace exchange rates and resources for the state’s response to the Zika virus, lobbying records show. Pitcock did not immediately return a request for comment."

Yeah it's not a *massive* deal
But what I've heard from performance psychologists like Bulletproof Musician is that any recent progress starts to unravel if you don't practice regularly and reinforce it
So it's like when coders complain about losing 20 hours of work due to a crash or some dumb mistake or whatever
So, it starts to become a hell spiral, where I don't bother practice two hours today because fuck it I'm probably not gonna practice tomorrow and so today's two hours is gonna just get rolled back and so the whole system falls apart
(And just to be clear, I love playing guitar and I don't see it as a job or burden like it prolly sounds, but there are things I wanna be able to do and so I make goals...so for instance I wanna be able to comfortably improvise counterpoint and polyrhythms and stuff like that so I do treat *that* aspect a bit like some obsessive gym-monkey or a lawyer who hasn't seen his wife and kids in 5 years...)
i kind of like that though. whenever I take long breaks from music I have to learn everything again, and it's like I just started all over again.
Might be ending a 6 year relationship with the lady, would either have to move back in with my folks (I'm thirtyfucking5 years old) or sell most of my possessions and move to some unknown location. Life problems.
Shit, this is a proper fwp. Best of luck for whatever comes next, man!

Man, real shit m8, sry to hear it.
Best of luck!
yeah, that's rough. good luck.
at least it's you who's ending it
Thanks y'all. We'll see what ends up happening as to the relationship, but that's a thread for r/sadbastards or whatever
I honestly wasn't fishing for attention or anything btw, I just thought having those options was a real first world problem: reasons for it aside, those two choices seem shitty to me but really aren't that bad at all and definitely fall into the FWP (perhaps SFWP) category. I'm white in a soon-to-be Trumpian America, I'll be fine no matter what happens.
all you need is money

oh, the reason I came into this thread.
I'm staying at a hotel and my desk chair is like completely lopsided and they put me in a handicap room. I'm pretty sure this is revenge for me chewing them out for causing me headaches. Oh, and the plumbing seems to constantly bang against the walls in this room.

Haha cheers guys! I generally have a pretty decent diet imo, lots of fruit, porridge, brown rice, home-cooked stuff, not a lot of processed crap, so I don't think that's really the issue. That's actually part of the reason I started exercising in the first place; I'm a pretty slim dude and realised that I could probably be in decent enough physical nick if I just made the effort. I'm never going to be super-ripped or anything but that's not really the goal for me, just to stay trim and feel good. I'm probably not even working out that hard by a lot of people's standards. I reckon my body's still just getting used to actually having to do things other than sit in a chair, walk in the woods and run for trains, lol. Definitely aiming for slow and steady improvement rather than tearing through stuff that's way above my level and then burning out, though.
***I got ripped in SIX WEEKS with the Bulk VanderHooj method, CLICK HERE!***
Diet and supplementation is key. If you are going hard then you need to supplement, and you most likely need to increase the total amount of food you eat. You don't have to do this, and there is definitely a sweet spot between under-eating and over-eating that you have to find in order to not struggle but also not gain too much mass. I prefer to stay lean and be strong. It sometimes backfires with extended recovery times and/or extremely challenging workouts, but when you get a feel for what your body desires it gets easier. Just pay close attention to the variables at play.
As far as recovery, like I said supplementation. You're significantly increasing the amount of nutrients your body needs when you push its physical limits. I use IDlife for multi-vitamins. It's very straightforward. You take the assessment and they send you the packets you take everyday. It requires 0 thought, and they have very high quality vitamins.
Other than that, magnesium helps a lot. You can take a magnesium bath in the form of epsom salt, and also take magnesium powder like Natural Vitality Calm.
It's also not a terrible idea to supplement BCAA's daily. (branch chain amino acids)
Make sure you eat enough protein also. If you are tearing a lot of muscle then increase your protein intake.
Stretching is definitely helpful too. Also, get a foam roller. I use the Rumble Roller, but it's quite intense. Just using a simple hard foam roller will work wonders.
Careful using it too aggressively before exercise or doing lots of static stretching before exercise (like stephen said). Both can lead to injury. I recently blew out my knee doing just that after having weakened my muscles from overuse.
The reason for this is that your stretching your muscles, tendons, and ligaments out so they have more give, but you don't necessarily have the strength to compensate for that increased range of motion which means you can easily tear something.
I recommend doing high intensity interval training as it has the most benefits for health, as well as integrating a regular yoga routine. I do ashtanga yoga which is pretty demanding physically so it's not like taking break, but it's very important to get your entire body strong and yoga hits a lot of weak spots and stretches you out.
I do p90x 1 & 2 right now, but there are some programs that are better out there like https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/ or steve maxwell's offerings http://www.maxwellsc.com/
A good warm-up routine can be found on youtube, but in general I recommend following a plan, as it is the most efficient and requires the least amount of thought. If you workout regularly without a plan you are going to end up with muscle imbalances that can lead to injury.
As far as it getting easier, yes it does, but it takes a long time.
Check out these podcasts for some education on the matter:

Just remember, you can get all the cardio you need from HIIT and you don't need to lift heavy to get strong and ripped.
+1, stretching for sure.
Best to warm up with some light calisthenics and only do dynamic stretches or exercises pre-workout, leave static stretches until post workout.
There are studies that suggest pre-workout static stretches can reduce the efficacy of your workout + increase the chance of injury.
At least, that's my understanding.
I've gotten out of shape now though.
yup
This took my around a year, but can definitely be achieved faster. also important to note that my endurance and posture are much better, and base muscles are all much much stronger.
Forgot to mention I'm about 15 lbs lighter in the first pic and I'm A LOT stronger.

he's one of the greatest comedians of all time and a very smart and humble man. He's edgy though.
-
People totally lose the nuance in their humor. The best comedy always tackles truths that we're uncomfortable with and while they don't always hit the mark, MDE tackle some great stuff that stays largely untouched. The hyperbole is on overdrive though. There is claims of "journalist attacks" that are actually just Tweeted memes. Come on mang. I understand that anti-Semitism is not funny on the main but Pepe and Kristallnacht can never be made equivalent.
The comedy is hit or miss, but definitely has its moments. I think off the cuff sam is the best form of sam though. I also think he's a pretty reasonable man. I think he gets easily offended by pussy liberals because it's what he has had to deal with the most. Doing comedy puts you in the direct line of fire from those idiots, and why would Sam have any reason to feel guilty for his "privilege"? he's a middle-class american that scrapes his way by on his own ingenuity. That's hardly something he should feel bad about.
The issue with the alt-right people is that most of them are just shit stirrers using the exact same tactics they decry. It's total hypocrisy. They don't really stand for anything other than "leave me alone". They are likely about to get fucked over by another politician they thought they could believe in, so good luck with that.
mike cernovich, gavin mcginnis, stefan molyneux, david seaman, paul joseph watson, et al. These are not serious people with serious commentaries. They get it right some of the time, but most of what they are doing is making money for themselves. That's all they are about.

this is only partly true. Reagan would have a morning meeting then take a nap. then maybe have a short press conference or some other obligation then that was that.
i had a teacher who was in the whitehouse press cor for reagan then bush. he said reagan had to have his naps. didn't work very hard. he would make a decision based on the meetings then delegate to other people. My teacher said Bush Sr. worked pretty hard.. was up and on the job at 7am everyday and worked all day and often into the night.. i guess former naval pilots and CIA chiefs have some grit to them.. still jerk but at least he was on the job.
trump can find people he trusts and then let them bring him stuff when it needs the attentions of the president. depending on how much he wants to micromanage and be a control freak on certain things will determine his actual work load. GWB played lot's of golf and cleared lot's of brush down on the ranch in texas and cheney ran shit.
so, if trump wants to be the guy he portrayed himself as that's one thing.. but if he wants to continue on his lush life he can find a way to do that and still be president.
Trump apparently wakes up at 5 am every morning, and doesn't even drink. I don't think he is necessarily opposed to working hard. It's just that I don't think he is the type of person that wants to do the work. He wants to direct the action and delegate, and that's not an uncommon trait in a leader or manager. A lot of these types are looking at bigger picture stuff and thinking rather than focusing on minutiae.

Well, I'd say your development is massively more influential on your behavior and personality than the minutia of your lifestyle (e.g. How you sit and how long you sit)
Look, I'm not trying to boil his personality all down to a single factor, but what is certain is that when people are screwed up and anti-social (e.g. Wanting to do away with social democracy because it's impeding your income), it's not a complete mystery as to how they got that way...dysfunctional socialization is what gives us school shooters, sexual sadists and serial killers (yes I think he's that bad...given the power he would do massive harm)
But I wasn't even commenting on his behavior. I referenced a factor influencing his motor movements.
How are motor movements not behavior?
because i'm literally talking about the way his body works mechanically. I don't want to go on a long monologue to explain my position to you to be honest. You're being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.

lol
I stand by my assessment
The inability to properly mirror other individuals may strain the child's social relationships later in life.[8] This strain may exist because others may feel more distant from the child due to a lack of rapport, or because the child may have a difficult time feeling empathy for others without mirroring. Mirroring helps to facilitate empathy, as individuals more readily experience other people's emotions through mimicking posture and gestures. This empathy may help individuals create lasting relationships and thus excel in social situations. The action of mirroring allows individuals to believe they are more similar to another person, and perceived similarity can be the basis for creating a relationship.
I wasn't disagreeing with you.

Bringing the manufacturing back to US would be a short time fix. Next the jobs will be eaten by increasing automation. Think fully automatic factories with a single human watching over it.
The thing is, moving manufacturing away from the USA is a natural behavior, because our income levels have risen so much. We outsource to other countries that are cheaper, and then when they've moved through the industrial revolution, think China, they begin doing the same thing. This is a natural process that occurs that is extremely beneficial to the entire planet, higher income countries get cheap products and country by country we move into the 1st world together. If you were to bring manufacturing back to the USA without major subsidies and government incentives then you either have to remove minimum wage, which is a regression in quality of life for blue collar workers, or you will have extremely expensive products. If products are too expensive it hurts the lower classes also.
There isn't a solution that bypasses government intervention in either case other than removing regulations altogether.

Here the issue we are having in a nut shell. As you can see, globalization helped everyone for decades, and then beginning in the 80's that benefit began to drop. As you can see, it doesn't matter which party is in power. They've done nothing to improve this situation. My position is that this will be the case during a Trump presidency also, as completely altering the functioning of the economy will be extremely difficult, and also requires a desire to do so, which I don't think he has. The only effective answer I see is using social welfare programs to help blue collar workers pivot their careers, and give them a cushion with which they can put themselves back into the workforce in different roles. I don't think that unleashing fossil fuel energy production is going to be beneficial for anyone. It will be a like a band-aid for the incomes of the low-middle classes. Infrastructure spending would benefit to a degree, and isn't a bad approach, but it requires lots of money. I don't believe bringing manufacturing back to the USA will be beneficial, and further, there are tons of places manufacturing weapons for the MIC as we speak, and those require us to be continuing our military engagements to make sense in keeping their production alive. They also require more government spending as well.
Here's a paper, I haven't read fully yet, but I did pull some graphs from it to illustrate my point. http://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/pn_15_4.pdf
Here is an article about inequality as well if anyone is interested.

Just look at Peter Thiel's physical awkwardness (literally just watch him walk out onto the stage):
That is a person who has not learned how to navigate the social world with his body.
Yeah that dude is up there on the autism spectrum.
But the body thing in particular, if you do not use your body properly, it becomes awkward also. So, people that sit at desks and never stretch and exercise generally have bad posture, weird gaits, tense muscle movements, etc.

i think that will just make things worse. sam is very clearly inspired by tim. i would love to see some mutual respect here.
nothing wrong with a friendly, art oriented, beef.
-
i think this would have been a great opp for tim to adopt his decker-tim personality and write lots of deliberately cringey pro trump songs. that would be taking the high road. he seems to be playing into the hands of trolls. maybe deliberately? i dunno i'm a dummy.
but yeah maybe don't give the other side fodder and don't vindicate them by being weak.
why not just parody the fuck out of sam? That would be hilarious. It wouldn't even be difficult. Fucking man-baby has a million weak spots.
-
being a faggot about people's fringe political views is really stupid.
like sam hyde and gavin mcginnis are pretty ridiculous human beings, but they are entertaining.
I definitely don't hate them for being wrong about certain things. They are also correct about certain things too. So...

"Donal Trump to shit right in the environment's mouth" - is basically what we're gonna get.
Yes, he wants to make america the most dominant super power in the world and to do that he will sacrifice the earth.
