It works incredibly well (so far), just not for most people

The point of criticizing capitalism is to address the inherent flaws in the current system, and to supplant it with a different system that inherently limits the wealth/power of the people at “the top” of it (or if there even could be a “top”).

It definitely is a unique point in history as well, even if it rhymes with previous points and we’re still humans all along.

“Libertarians” and BaSiC eCoNoMiCs guys blame inflation on “printing money,” but they don’t like to talk about who the printed money went to, which is the real problem. Wall Street and big corporate was bailed out in 2008, that’s where the expanded money supply was concentrated into.

Always has been

I see…

What’s better about Mullvad?

Do you really have to do all those lifts 2x a week each?

That is the legacy of American freedom, my friend

You can’t exist in a solely ideological paradigm. You have to be pragmatic while working towards bending the world towards something better.

I am simply arguing that advertisements have a bad effect on society and our everyday lives. If more people cared, more could be done about it, instead of most people being unaware and/or delusional of its subconcious effects, and doing nothing about it.

You think the cookie business advertisements are no problem. I disagree, even though I ultimately believe there are much bigger problems (of course…) - This advertisement is manipulative nonsense, like the vast majority of them, and the business or the product etc. is not a cute little innocent thing.

It really must be a simulated administration just to see how much a president can get away with

Maybe most people are not angry enough (or aware enough) about how deceptive, manipulative, continuously invasive, and disturbing to our daily lives advertisements are. Don’t let off some business because their advertisement is “cute.” They just want you to buy their shit.

Have you considered doing something like: OHP/deadlift on day 1, and squat/bench on day2

Exactly. Every company is utterly bullshitting us, even the “mom n pop cookie companies”

no it’s good

I don’t enjoy every company pretending to be super cute and trigger our buttons to sell its most likely bullshit ass product which is “honestly” most likely totally unrelated to the advertisement they are pushing in our face

Lemmy the only place where well-articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.

Oh buddy… gestures to everywhere tho

“charming” ads

“We thought building a cardboard airline in a treehouse sounded more honest.”

I don’t think they know what “honest” means

Wait, in your original post you are saying 3 reps, and 3 rep max, and now you are using reps in reserve (RIR) which is different

Here’s the problem, for this to happen, we would first have to reorganize the economy/politics/society. Everything has turned to total shit because we live in a global capitalist plutocracy. Nothing is gonna get much better under that

Like, if they don’t have cell service when we go camping, they are just super agitated like they’ve lost their sense of smell or something.

LMAO

Me mfw when I’m a millennial laughing and also sympathizing at the GenZers’ inability to exist in the world without electronic devices and high speed bips and boops
