Especially if you’re getting up in years. Even just some light walking everyday helps significantly in preventing or minimizing osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. Plenty of mental benefits too as well.

At a point, a sedentary lifestyle will rapidly catch up with you both mentally and physically. It also becomes a “use it or lose it” when it comes to bone and muscle health and significantly difficult if not practically impossible to reverse once it starts to fail.

Suspiciously Tram Shaped General Motors: All of these tram lines wouldn’t have disappeared if people liked them! Clearly people just hate public transport so buy our cars!

They basically want border towns to become civilian ran security checkpoints by the sounds of it.

You stop for gas in Bumfuck, TX and the clerk gets to pressure you about what you’re leaving the state for. If they think you’re “one of those types”, this ordinance gives them the authority to make your life a living hell. Doesn’t even matter if you’re actually getting an abortion, just that they “think” that you are.

Definitely don’t ever underestimate how quickly lack of sleep can mess you up mentally and physically.

Inflicting sleep deprivation on a person is widely recognized as a form of torture by human rights organizations as well as the UN.

Elvis jumpscare house!

Curious if you are a JelloApocalypse enjoyer or found this elsewhere.

This is from the first house they toured through on their second Bad Zillow Houses stream.. The whole house is pretty nutty

You mean the fact that the biggest initial source of support the Nazis got was from the emerging business class who were scared of the rising influence of labor unions? Can’t imagine why that gets pushed under the bed.

Not like we had that nearly happen here in the US or anything though. Just don’t look into the Business Plot or that many of the Jan 6thers turned out to be small business tyrants…

Just remember that the most dangerous Nazis aren’t the skinheads on the corner but the ones on Wall Street.

90% of his advice is pretty much just boilerplate self help stuff you can find in thousands of books on Amazon. That stuff gets you in the door and is meant to develop a sense of trust because you might see initial improvement and feel good from the advice.

It’s when he does the rug pull and starts introducing trad nonsense into it that determines how willing a person is to keep following through on listening to him.

Like you mentioned, this is an extremely common tactic used by religious leaders as well as cults. Back in the mid 20th century when the whole self help craze started, many cults took to framing themselves as self help groups to attract outsiders. NXIVM is probably the most infamous example of this. The first few meetings should seem like a normal support group but would soon start ramping up into full on cult mode.

Looks like it was cropped from this New Republic article from last June.

In short, the article says the Republican Study Committee’s proposed 2024 federal budget calls for removing the Community Eligibility Provision from the National School Lunch Program which provides funding to low income schools to have free meals for students
