I think the Fediverse will be popular. It’s already being adopted by Meta in the way of Threads.

Popularity comes when major companies, like Meta, push for something to be in the mainstream. Will Lemmy be popular and be pushed for the mainstream? Probably not. The mindset of the majority of the admins is against streamlining it. It’s why we have a bunch of instances and why so many of them defederated from Threads (which I agree with). They’ve even taken steps to stop having so many people default to the .world instance in an attempt to diversify it.

The voyager app has that feature.

Depends on if you pay attention or care for what they’re protesting.

Third party votes are protest votes in a sense. They’ll still be there, they’ll just protest in other ways.

Because the Roman’s are the ones who conquered Europe so their standards and customs got passed along.

Opinion of what exactly?

Ah that’s my bad. My point still stands though. It’s not like he was able to convince everyone to become Protestant.

No pope has ever had the power to change everyone’s mind with a single word or speech. That’s never been a thing.

MLK definitely did not change everyone’s opinion. A lot of people? Sure. Everyone? Absolutely not.

Was there ever a time that this was the case?

I’ve been buying a lot of Columbia stuff lately. I’m the type where I get hot easily so I’ve been buying their pants and dress shirts as they use a more breathable fabric. I just got used to sizing up a bit. I’m not at a point where I need to wear a belt thankfully.

General rule on knowing if you’re doing it right, you should feel it in your muscles and not in your joints. There’s plenty of online resources to see how to do exercises properly and even upload videos to get some feedback if you’re comfortable with it. You can also book a couple of sessions with a personal trainer if you are able to.

I’d recommend starting with the basic bodyweight exercises. Push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats, planks. Those kinds of things. If you’re having trouble doing it unassisted it then do it partially until you can do it fully. Gyms also have machines that can help you do it with weights to make it easier as you build up muscle.

Lifting weights is also a good idea, but just make sure you don’t just do curls and triceps extensions. You need to make sure you do exercises for all your body as all your muscles work together, and if some are more developed than others, it could lead to things like cramps, soreness, and bad posture. This is partly why I recommended the bodyweight exercises in my paragraph above. They’re good at targeting a lot of muscles in each workout.

I’m 30 lmao.

Pants. I have thicker thighs, especially when compared to my waist size. I find a lot of pants are pretty tight on me because of this. I’ve started going for the more athletic brands as a result.

Because you’re not rich and powerful enough to have lawyers and public influence sway the judge to be more lenient to you.

Back when I used to use reddit there was /r/bodyweightfitness that was really good and I believe it’s in line with what you want. It’ll help you get stronger, leaner, and it can even done at home. I haven’t been on the site in years but I remember they had a very good wiki and even an app that helped define a workout routine for you. I would recommend you give it a look. I’d recommend supplementing it with cardio exercises (jogging, biking, etc), to increase your heart health and help you loose any fat that you might want to lose.

I go the gym 3-5 days a week depending on how busy I am. I mainly start off doing a bit of cardio on the treadmill or bike and then lifting weights. If I have the time and energy, I end it with a bit of the stair machine as well.

Please do share your experience/suggestions/opinions on the it and related topics like sports, calisthenics, general physical health etc.

Different exercises/workouts are geared towards different things. What’s your goal from exercising? To lose weight? Bulk up? Just get more toned and have better muscle definition? Have better stamina? How you should be exercising depends on what you want to get out of it.

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

I don’t think that’s a thing really. You can look up any kind of workout regimen online from anywhere around the world nowadays. It just depends on what you want to get out of it.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

Focus your meals on high protein foods. Meats, chicken, lentils, chickpeas, etc. If you’re doing intense workouts more than 3 days a week then supplement it with protein powder. Unless you’re looking to become some kind of professional athlete/bodybuilder/whatever, counting your calorie and protein intake is a waste of time (in my humble opinion). Just pay attention to your body, things like fatigue joint pain, etc. Be mindful of them.

Yes because it’s done wonders with Biden.

/s

Both Harris and Trump are all in on supporting Israel. Harris/Biden just offer empty platitudes to make them appear like they care, whereas Trump just openly says it. If Israel can do all that they did in the past 13 months without any actual consequences, then there’s no real difference between the two on this.

Do you have a Lush in your area? Might not be a bad idea to check it out if you do.
