Not woke means with huge boobs. Big hair. Big asses and bigger attitudes. To finally show that cute barista with the blue hair that I am a MAN and I will NEVER back down.

I hope that cleared it up for you.

Ideally you would use a freestanding barbell, but a dumbbell modification is perfectly okay. You'll lose out on working a lot of your stabilizers and will likely have to favor your back or legs with positioning at a smith machine and it makes the overall movement of the exercise pretty awkward and ineffective.

I like to recommend this site as a quick reference guide to find exercises if I want to change things up when planning for a workout. There is a directory sorted by muscle group and articles that are actually fairly well written, including citations usually if that interests you. I linked to the general article because it links to the more specific muscle groups from it because like most exercise focused sites it can be a little tough to navigate.

As another user noted, deadlifts when done with good form will work your traps and spinal erectors along with the rest of the posterior chain. Take some time to really make sure you have good form before you hurt yourself when you try to push higher weights.

I strongly recommend following a more strict workout in the beginning rather than winging it so that you don't start yourself off with major muscle imbalances. At the very least, add in some bicep work on your back day, triceps on your chest day, and abs and shoulders whenever you can squeeze them in.

I expect them to try harder and with at least 30% more bravado!

Why is Sigma listed higher than Beta and Gamma? Do these so-called alphas not know the Greek alphabet?

I've had a cat classified as an ESA for about seven years now. My partner has some legitimate anxiety issues and we were given an official notice from a therapist and a second one from a medical doctor that we need to renew every few years. Funny enough we actually only had him classified as an ESA at the suggestion of a leasing agent in the first place to avoid pet rent which has been awesome. We've avoided all pet deposits, extra pet rent, and have had him in "no pets allowed" apartments. Honestly, in the beginning it was as simple as asking our primary doctor for it outright and they wrote a hilariously simple - "I'm a doctor and I recommend this person have an animal" letter. It was genuinely one sentence.

I have also lived in 4 different states in managed apartment complexes during this period. Some complexes have not given even the slightest fuck and some have called our doctors to verify the legitimacy of the paperwork (HIPPA is a thing and they get told to fuck off if they do😂). It's all going to depend where you're trying to move to and the type of place. In every case we've let the agents know we have an ESA classified animal at lease signing and submitted whatever they've requested.

That's definitely the case then as most major instances pushed updates around then. Lemmy.World has been particularly bad since it's still running on the old 0.18.x version of Lemmy.

The bugs have been opened and the devs made aware of the issues. For now just be patient as things get worked on as it is the holiday season.

You're not shadow banned and I don't believe that's a thing. The newer versions of Lemmy 0.19.0/1 have issues with federation to other instances. If you are posting comments to another instance it is likely not being seen by anyone.

I don't even know if you'll see this comment.

Yeah, I noticed this behavior started on most .world communities about 3 days ago. Comments don't seem to be federating. A little frustrating, but we're going to need to be patient with bugfixes through the holiday seasons for now.

I always hate any viral math post for the simple reason that it gives me PTSD flashbacks to my Real Analysis classes.

The blog post is fine, but could definitely be condensed quite a bit across the board and still effectively make the same points would be my only critique.

At it core Mathematics is the language and practices used in order to communicate numbers to one another and it's always nice to have someone reasonably argue that any ambiguity of communication means that you're not communicating effectively.

As a video game obsessed teen in the mid 2000's it used to be the most exciting event of the year. It was where you learned about everything that was happening in the industry.

It's been a shadow of its former self for a long time though so as sad as it is to see it go, I think it was time to move on once everyone and their mother and grandmother started being perpetually online.

I'm aware of at least some of the recent issues and I'm absolutely sympathetic. Innocence is something that you just can't get back once you've seen some of the more depraved parts of humanity 🫤.

With that being said, you did come in a bit too hot on this one. I think you could have made your point that it's possible this type of a system would be used for illicit purposes without directly throwing suspicion onto the OP and it would have accomplished the same goal.

As an outside observer it really reads like someone asking how to safely share family photos and you coming in and saying "Why do you want this, pedo? Sounds like something a pedo would say!" Obviously this a satirical dramatization, but your 2nd, 3rd and 5th paragraphs give your response a very accusatory tone even if that wasn't your intent. I think most rational people would react strongly negatively to implicitly being called a pedophile in earnest.

I'm firmly in the "I don't use social media" camp and it really is a very bizarre thing for a lot of people to wrap their heads around.

What makes it worse is that the same people who attempt to post them pictures also take personal offense at being asked to remove them typically so it just makes for a very uncomfortable situation so if there are tools to avoid it I can understand wanting them. People have a hard time grasping that what you put on the internet is there forever.

Navigating the current social media landscape as a newer parent these days is pretty tough when dealing with relatives who may not fully respect or understand a 'no posting pictures online's rule.

Most people I know have had to resort to using third party hosting apps with their own built-in security features which comes with their own security concerns by nature so I think the question is valid and with good intent at least without any additional information. Pointing out possible flaws and exploitations is fine, but accusatorially jumping to the worst scenario right off the bat comes off as confrontational so I can't really blame OOP.

I know my opinion doesn't mean much around here, but I appreciate that mods have to deal with some awful shit and people on a daily basis though and thank you for doing what you do to keep the internet and, by extension, the people safe.

The game averages your highest level equip for each gearslot when you start a new area. It has a Dark Souls style weapon upgrade system so if you pump upgrades into a bunch of weapons/armor and then don't use them you can handicap yourself.

The lower level upgrade materials start to get VERY abundant once you move up to another tier so the difficulty will end up leveling out on the next area as long as you don't screw yourself too hard.

This is the only real response

The best toy I ever bought for my cat was a like $2 package of pipe cleaners from a craft store. You can use them in a similar manner scraping it across the carpet like the stick, roll it into a tight-ish ball and throw it, or tie it to a string/old shoelace. He's got all these fancy toys that people have gotten him over the years but it's always the pipe cleaner that ends up getting swatted and chased.

She's a very handsome cat and I hope you two have all the fun and joint poops.

My ADHD prevents me from remembering any 9 specific games out of the thousands I've ever played in my life without prompting.

Instead I will just say the you have excellent tastes in games OP! I'm literally playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time as we speak and loving it.

You run this risk with any kind of coated pans unfortunately. Always good to do your due diligence online, but restaurant supply stores will give a pretty good selections of quality equipment if you have the access to one. You'll probably pay a bit more there though.

Cast iron will obviously give you the best longevity when cared for appropriately, but a good middle ground between generic non-stick pans that quickly wear out and cast iron is ceramic coated pans. They are fairly low maintenance and last quite a bit longer than generic non-stick pans as long as you don't royally fuck up some food on them.

I don't have any specific brands to recommend, but they are fairly easy to find and generally about 50-100 USD
