I was gonna add a disclosure making an exception for people doing hard physical labor but got lazy. But an office worker which I would assume is most of the lemmy population should not have those issues

It is not a coincidence that you start losing muscle at 30 and that’s were most people start to complain about body aches.

This study also gives credence to it and there’s many more that also confirm it:

Another aspect is inflammation and I hate to bring it up because it’s such a nebulous concept peddled by online granola mom anti vax types that don’t have a single clue about nutrition. But it is a fact that the shitty diets prevalent in our society cause inflammation in the body, which also contributes to skeletomuscular pain. The worst thing is that people consider it normal when it really isn’t. You’re supposed to be pretty spry up until your 60s or 70s.

Yes.

Nah humiliation doesn’t turn me on so it’s not that.

The dick can be attached to her or she could be sharing it with me.

I would never suck a dick unless a woman was involved. What does that make me?

This is great context too, it’s easy to forget that until recently only Tesla made EVs.

I remember also that Tesla said that all their designs would be open source. Whatever happened to that?

Jokes on them, environmentalists don’t even like EVs these days.

Seriously about the only argument in favor of EVs that is not true is that they are cleaner. The air in the cities might be cleaner but at a net level they still produce ungodly amounts of pollution due to lihium mining.

Yeah no I agree but at a federal level, especially with the outsized economical power California has, you would have to look at if a regulation that they pass could have shockwaves that could be problematic in other states. Like let’s say the top 5 economies in the US decide that ICE engines are banned so now the car manufacturers decide that they can no longer sustain their ICE manufacturing anymore and will only sell EVs. What happens to states that do not have the infrastructure to support only EVs on their roads? So that’s why I say that at a rational level I can understand opposition to that sort of lawmaking.

But actively stopping any organization from adopting a technology that is objectively superior is just stupid. It’s actually anathema to free market capitalism.

There’s really no point in opposing EVs except if you think it will win you elections for some reason because your voters think EVs are woke or some shit.

I can understand opposition to EV mandates like in California because it is heavy handed market intervention. But this? This is like forcing federal agencies to continue doing things on pen and paper instead of computers.

I’ll never understand how the EV thing became a political issue. I mean I understand how politicians can exploit it as one, but I don’t understand how voters came to see this as a political issue.

These are American made EVs that will lower costs on maintenance and therefore on deliveries why the hell would anyone want to stop this?

Even if you look at it from the angle of protecting the oil, natural gas and coal industry it doesn’t make sense because the energy used to charge cars is generated from those sources.

This too, I have a shit time falling asleep when I take a week off the gym.

Most body pain is a symptom of weak muscles, especially back pain. Lift weights and you’ll have even more pain temporarily and then no pain at all.

Can I ask why are you so attached to your message history? I recently lost my entire WhatsApp history and it hasn’t made any difference in my life to be honest.

I know it, do low information voters know it? They are the ones that decide who wins.

But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?

Are you not aware that poor people have smartphones these days? Back in my day being poor meant having absolutely nothing. I say we take their phones away and their shoes too for good measure. That way they’ll know what true poverty is like /s

That was what Trump campaigned on wasn’t it? So contrary to democrats who usually don’t deliver in their promises Trump can at least says that he tries damn hard to deliver on his promises.

I know this will be conflated to me being supportive of what he does. So let me clarify that I’m not endorsing it, I’m just stating the fact that Trump goes so far as to break the law in order to deliver his promises, while democrats work really hard to maintain the status quo even while having legal and political power to make real change. This is part of his appeal, a detail which should not be lost on democrats.

Well to be fair they also know democrats only say they will fix the issue and then immediately do the same things the republicans do because they just cannot do without that sweet corporate cheddar.

I figure their logic is that at least the republicans are honest about it.

I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.

They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.
