“Fiscal Conservatives” strike again.

One data point doesn’t make a standard.

In general, most CrossFit coaches were well intentioned, but cared more about a rapid pace through reps, rather than the safety of the members.

Weightlifting in CrossFit is better understood as a subtly different exercise. Traditional Weightlifting is a maximum effort exercise, and purely by human physiological limits it has to be modified for CrossFit. If sub-max effort shortcuts were taught, and technical qualification requirements were mandated, the injury rate would be greatly reduced.

I was lucky to learn Olympic Weightlifting in the 90s from a world class coach, but that was just because I was in the right place at the right time.

I’m thankful for the exposure CrossFit brought to the sport, because there’s lifting platforms everywhere now. However, most CrossFit coaches are horrible in regard to providing necessary technique instruction to avoid injury.

One small example that frequently results in injury: you do not “catch” the bar when performing a clean on the palms of your hands. You catch the bar across your deltoids and clavicle.

At a CrossFit gym where I weightlifted for 3 years, I knew of five people needing surgery to repair damage to their wrists from catching a clean improperly on the palms of their hands. They could have just been taught proper technique from the start, but most CrossFit gyms are more concerned with pushing you to your limit immediately, not with finding your long-term potential and avoiding injury.

Hopefully it’s improved, but based on the rapid downward popularity trend, I’d assume they have killed off participants through attrition.

Because fascism.

The wholly predictable outcome of poorly regulating capitalism.

“The market will create competition and the best products.” No. The market will seek the optimal method to make the most money, and if that optimal method includes killing people, that will be the method selected.

Start putting people in jail and taking businesses into receivership for bad behavior, and then the optional method for maximizing profit will also result in better products.

And they knew a long time ago it would be expensive and did it anyway.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.

Those are just premeditated accidental killings. It’s very different.

This story is about the University of Michigan. 😉

If we’re going to get the analogy correct, you’re right, Hamas would be the assholes that killed 1200 people at a festival, and then IDF/Israel killed 34,000+, 70% women and children, in response.

Seems like a balanced response from a country which you’d expect to desire the respect of other first world countries?

Oh wait. That’s not an analogy.

Let’s see what happens next? Spoiler! Israel annexes more Palestinian land for illegal settlements!

Now imagine if the IDF had shown up and murdered a bunch of people at the graduation ceremony.

What scale of asshole would that be?

If you have the evidence against Biden, present it.

Here’s some for Trump:

On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[151] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[152]

One man was identified as model and actor Andy Lucchesi, while the other was identified as a fashion photographer who spoke on condition of anonymity. Both men claim to have been acquaintances of Trump during that decade, which one described as his “Trump days”.[151]

Lucchesi, for his part, claimed that he saw Trump engage in sexual activity with the girls but did not witness him taking illicit drugs. In regards to the age of the girls, Lucchesi said he himself never specifically asked about their ages, only remarking of the attendees “a lot of girls, [aged] 14, look 24.”[153]

For me, the dog has a cartoonish look. The eyes seem too large, the head seems too large, and something seems a little too perfect in general.
