Just do some more specific exercises and those products from our partners could luckily help in exact those situations!
Just buy an abo to get sweet rewards and a VIP-only training video, which tells you the secret, how our pro athletes get into shape quickly!

I think that tale is much older than modern society.
Everything that’s rare is valuable.
Even experiences are valued that way.

I’m not sure how the image looks on your side, but on my end there is nothing highlighted, but only striked through and I can’t read these text parts anymore

And you still went for your edited version on not just gave up and post the original?
Not sure what to say. Maybe respect for your commitment?

Ah, ok, thank you very much

I somehow imagined the chain hanging sloppy down and around the filter, and somehow the lever above still brings some force down there

That mechanism now is very obvious.
Thanks!

Thanks!
Yeah, I still can’t really visualise how this is working
I get that you use the chain and the handle as a lever, but I just can’t wrap my mind around how this can work, without the chain just slipping around the stuff I want to unscrew.
How do I get the chain like stiff, when I get it in place?

Really sorry if I’m kinda slow here …

I’m not a mechanic, so please bear with me
What the living hell is that thing of a tool? Oo

Doesn’t think that he/she is the boss, but much more the secretary of people doing the actual work.
He/she is reasonable to provide the people doing the actual work to provide them with the environment and resources they need

I don’t know, if I have enough Daniel Abrahams for the job :⁠-⁠(

Maybe you’re right and it’s parody
Sadly by now it’s really hard to differ…

Yeah, maybe I’m just taking it to serious
But after all the stupid shit the right wing said, I’ve lost all trust in their ability for basic sarcasm

Their fixation on Obama after all those years is just embarrassing.
And why should anyone put a photo in a sandwich?
And why isn’t there one of Trump or Hitler in their own?
This just misses so much consistency, that I can’t find the actual joke in it anymore.
Butt maybe I’m just picky/pedantic…

Holy fuck, the right really can’t meme

Thank you very much for that personal answer!

I was kinda afraid people would come back with the typical life lesson bullshit, on how I can turn everything around.

Your answer was really unexpected and I very much appreciate it :⁠-⁠)

I know, that I’ll survive that time and my cat is doing his best as well.
Sadly not much more that I can do for him, but try to find the right food and juggle the additives, so he is able to eat a bit.
But he mostly isn’t complaining and happily jumps on the couch to us to cuddle. And as long as he shows us this happiness, we will fight on - together.

Thank you very much again!

No, as there are no leaders

In a democracy you give your vote and have no say afterwards.
In an anarchy people need to work out their social rules together.
There could also be Anarchist societies with a police force, that ensures the basic democratically created roles of that society are followed - like protecting people from just more muscle who want to rape or steal from them.

There is a difference between Anomie and anarchy

Just because there are no leaders/rulers, doesn’t mean there are no social rules or morale values.

A law doesn’t keep one from doing bad stuff.
Else we wouldn’t have murderers.

But society must grow and develop. At the current state anarchy probably wouldn’t work…

Thanks for asking.
My cats health is my main concern. He is only skin and bones anymore, and tried so many different things, but can’t find a food, that won’t lead to puking, when either he eats enthusiastically for once and then pukes the next day, or he doesn’t and gets sick because of his gastritis.
This is now going on for over 9 months. All vets are out of ideas and I have started to drift into depression and couldn’t really work anymore - which is shit, because my company is running out of money now and I can’t pay myself from time to time. But that doesn’t concern me as much, as the hardship my little buddy needs to go through.
He is a fighter though, and as long as he doesn’t give up and still comes to us to snuggle and is happy, there is no way I’ll put him down.
By now we’re at least prepared for that and talked with the vet, so we can sedate him at home and then bring him to the vet to finalize it.

Was a really hard year altogether, with cancer popping up and relationships ending in my family - and I’ve heard that a very good school friend of mine, where we lost contact, is pretty much in the last stage of cancer as well and seems to lose the fight.

At least my wife still loves me and somehow still tolerates me, although I always isolate myself, when I’m getting depressed, and that has taken a toll in our relationship. But I do know, that we’re able to work our way out of it, as we’ve gone through worse and decided to stick together no matter what.

So, all in all, like a cascade of shit and I try not to drown in it.
I’m currently in a better state than 2-3 months ago - and my cat the same. So I try to slowly get a grip on things again and get my shit together.
But it’s quite exhausting and I only manage to resolve one thing after another. And some relapses in behaviour hurt that much more, because I know how time and energy consuming it is to get back out of it.

Hard to see the positive things, when everything goes to shit.
And looking at the worldwide and local political developments…I just don’t understand how we can ignore global problems, like climate change and (plastic) pollution, but then put so much energy into attacking minorities…

Thanks again for asking.
It sometimes is nice to just vent a bit :⁠-⁠)

Yeah, I couldn’t stand it during my short stay in Atlanta, that everyone was just using “how are you?” instead of a simple “hello”, and then were getting pissed, when I actually talked about how I felt

Aren’t those salt water tanks to meditate in just the same thing?

If I remember that correctly, the brain mostly interacts with itself and only a little part is new “outside” information

The work we experience is just a construct of our brain and it wouldn’t be stable, if it only relied on external stimuli.
As for example our eyes don’t really take in a full picture, but only small parts, and the brain uses existing models to adapt to the new inputs.

So we’re mostly living in our heads anyway.

Edit: but yeah, without any external inputs, I’m not sure what that model could look like and if it would be functional in any way - although functional always is linked with the physical surroundings and if the expectations are met.
The only thing, I can think of, is basic logic and math, that wouldn’t require external input
