I agree entirely. I'm not against foreign aid as a concept at all, but I feel like it should be extremely conditional and the shit Israel is pulling in Palestine very much justifies pulling any and all aid we're providing them. Children shouldn't be dying, full stop.

That's why I said I wasn't casting shade on your specific circumstances, since I don't know them. There definitely is a tangible difference as we age, so far I find it to be recovery times that are affected, I just find a lot of folks use that as a crutch to justify getting more and more out of shape. Not trying to project onto you or any one in particular.

You can clearly see in the video that visibility was not that bad. The video was shot from most likely a screen side camera and not the main camera so it's not like there was a ton it could do to upscale the quality. Even the cops perspective it was mid day at best and shows they were fishing for sure.

As for folks arguing against this it's just apologists grasping at straws to justify why this man was pulled over on flimsy at best reasons. It started simply so a cop (and then multiple cops) could stroke their authority egos.

Even if the initial cop that pulled him over was coming from a legit placed of concern he clearly couldn't keep his boy with the wild fists under control so he's just as culpable. Not one of those officers reacted to officer fisticuffs and that's simply not okay.

Some folks can't seem to grasp the concept that shitty or incompetent people can wind up in a place of authority and that these officers can't be placed upon a pedestal simply due to their position. Actions speak louder than words. Period.

I was half drunk when I typed that, but even sober me didn't notice the difference. I legit appreciate this and that fact you didn't belittle me means you came from a place of education and I respect the hell out of that.

The best explanation I heard was that any funding at all, even if it's for a "defensive" weapon, is still funding that makes doing their genocide easier.

Another good take I heard is something along the lines of "they have healthcare and we don't, they can fund their fucking iron dome themselves".

Talk about a bunch of dudes with fragile egos getting their feelings hurt because the man has the gaul to question their authority and demand their supervisor. That's such limp dick behavior and is a fucking disgrace. Even if the cops were in the right for pulling him over (not having your headlights on? Really?) that's just ridiculous.

As someone in my 30s I've been told that by folks in their 40s and 50s about hitting the 30s and so far besides a reduction in the ability to not get a hangover I'm not really seeing it.. I can't speak from experience so far but part of me wonders if that's not just folks projecting their own specific issues onto those younger than them.

I'm not casting shade on you specifically, I don't know your specific circumstances, it just makes me wonder how much of this is age vs how long folks have gone without exercise and have begun to atrophy. Kids play and run a lot so one could assume they're probably more fi than we are even if they're weaker and slower than us due to their size.

Being a father of a 6 year old who has already had a minor concussion and a bruised nose, l kinda feel this one. Little kids do seem to roll with the punches better than adults, especially if you respond less dramatically. I assume a lot of that is due to being shorter and lighter weight though, leading to less forces overall, basically the square/cube law in reverse,

However, i do find a lot of folks who complain about how fragile they are do 0 cardio or weight training in order to strengthen themselves. My single most common recommendation is to do some kinda training for both, even if it's just once a week. I'd say it's probably the best investment you can make up to a certain upper limit time wise.

I'm sure there are some folks with old nagging sports injuries that bother them, for me that's my knees from 400+ pound squats, but in general I'd say I'm extremely resistant to day to day problems that affect most people besides minor to moderate muscle soreness/fatigue which mostly comes from the training itself. The only exception for me being my neck, especially from "sleeping wrong", which makes me think I should actually do some of the exercises that actually train your neck...

Again, I'm not knocking individual folks for their specific issues, but I feel like a lot of "normal" folks' problem is that they're just weak from years of being sedentary and a good general fix for that is just a bit of strength and cardio training.

To me that's a good thing because that means for most folks there is a fairly simple albeit not necessarily "easy" solution. I find problems I have the ability to directly fix are best.

Dr Phil actually has a PHD or master's (can't remember which) in psychology, but if I remember right he's had his license to practice either removed or he hasn't done the due diligence on his part to maintain it. I can't remember which. Apparently he also did a lot of sketchy shit with his clients including forming relationships with them prior to his time on TV. Behind the Bastards did a multi-part series on him that's worth listening to.

The worst part about Dr. Oz is that he was an exceptionally skilled thoracic surgeon, apparently one of the best in a field we are severely lacking skilled practitioners in, and has done hundreds of operations. This is a man who has saved or extended hundreds of lives. He then gave all of that up to sell bullshit weight loss miracles to middle-aged moms. He literally stopped saving lives so he could actively harm others with his bullshit and questionable advice outside of his realm of expertise.

I'd argue that Oz has done more direct harm to people on a larger scale than Dr. Phil could dream of. Again, there is a multi-part series on Behind the Bastards covering him that's worth a listen.

In regards to the off topic question thing; that just sounds like a fairly normal person. I feel like anyone could get annoyed by being asked constantly about non-relevant stuff. Sure, some folks are very good at handling those things with grace and should be applauded for it, but I feel like that's a noteworthy exception and not how most folks would react depending on the severity of course.

Maybe that's just because I haven't seen anything from him super recently, so my opinion is biased with rose tinted glasses. What little Ive seen of him he seemed like an alright dude. Then again, that's easily a tailored image of himself.

It's "prosperity gospel" but for health instead of wealth. I'm healthy because I'm a good person and you're not because you're a bad person. It's literally the same talking points too. Point at the minority of folks in a demographic who actually make genuinely bad decisions and apply that to the group as a whole.
