I once knew a Neo-Nazi who was an amateur MMA fighter. Just looked up his record the other day: 0 wins 6 losses, 2 by Unanimous decision, 2 by submission (got choked out), 2 by KO, 4/6 ended in the first round. 😂 😂 😂 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC0DKieA4sk
Ooo i had been thinking about getting into MMA does this mean if i do I’ll get to beat up Nazi’s legally?
From what I have heard its almost impossible to find an mma gym with no nazis and the second the nazis know you are a leftist they will hound you.
I heard of that as well. Thought it was an exaggeration until I found an open Nazi in one gym that I go to(I have multi branch gym subscription).
I was thinking of looking for a gym with a good queer community figure if they advertise as queer friendly it probably turns off Nazis from signing up.
I wouldn’t really be doing MMA to socialize anyway. I’d just learn what i need to learn, and cancel the membership after.
Not just Nazis but Zionists too
Now i need to buy a shirt with stalins face on it so i can wear it when i start going lol
Unless you are already a well trained fighter this is not a good idea. It could easily turn into serious bodily harm under the guise of “we were just sparing.”
yeah i was just being cheeky even libs would probably freak out about that. I wouldn’t wear something like that somewhere i didn’t know people already and know atleast some would be fine with it.
Hijacked a party of Flemish nationalist at the city’s main square with Palestinian flags after the right wing city government banned some pro Palestinian artists from attending
Can’stop the people singing you shits fuck you
(Not me btw)
Went out with my van to an in law family gathering on a camping this weekend, away from the busy city. When playing football with the kids present I sprained my ankle lmao. It’s thick and blue now. Still had fun though.
Ever since the Iran attack I have been spiralling downward with my mental health a bit. I guess it’s a combination of the events going on and the ever increasing workload at my job. Took today off in order not to burn myself out soon.
After the intense heat a couple of days ago came the intense rain right now. Overall the weather feels all over the place.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
I hope you have an awesome week!
Thanks!
It’s been good so far. Hope yours is going well too! :D
Watching this made me thirsty. Thanks for the water break reminder! 🍶
Thanks oppo!
You too comrade 🫡
Cute ! 😊 (is this somewhere in Europe ?)
Rotterdam made the photo myself
Ah cool 👍🏼
You Too Oppo… You Too
My native fruit vines i planted last year just came up again. I was getting worried they were a bit behind schedule. Looking forward to having some in a few months. :)
Lets gooo
What fruit
Maypop passion fruit
That’s cool. Some person in the street of my office has a passiflora growing on the side of their house and the flowers are really cool. Absolutely not native though lol.
Is it Passiflora Edulis, or Passiflora Incarnata? Incarnata is the non-tropical one and native to the southeast US among other places while edulis is native to the tropics.
I believe it is a passiflora caerulea, native to South America
Photos of the protest against gentrification in Mexico.
Just a brief reminder that this beautiful picture was taken this year
Sick
Where is this from?
It is from Russia.
Apparently a gas cartridge that I use for cooking in my van was leaking. How I didn’t accidentally gas myself idk.
Did the gas leak improve or diminish your posting capabilities
The only way was up, so improve
You can buy a gas detector for cheap, wouldn’t hurt to keep one around. Silent killers!
Women’s football (s*ccer): we need to help refugees and support LGBTQ+ people and raise awareness of mental health
Men’s football: I’m a nazi now

Your video?
I wish but no. It is video from Just Cherry who studied in the DPRK in an exchange program https://xcancel.com/JustCherry__
I believe I’m on Day #12 of going through my four withdrawals (dramatic lowering of Guanfacine dosage; Zoloft instead of Lexapro; no more caffeine pills amounting to 1,000 mg, just tea and coffee every now and then; and recovering from overtaking vitamins for the past 1 or 2 years).
There does seem to be a marked improvement from, say, a week ago.
Oh damn hope you feel better. Honestly electrolytes rich diet & b12 will have you way higher energy than the caffeine pills after a while. Is it cool if I infodump about substances that revivify me? I wish you guys had tianeptine in your pharma system in the states
But sure, shoot, go ahead.
I am trying to not take B12, but maybe electrolytes are fine.
I probably have hypervitaminosis and have to dial down in the coming months.
Oh sorry I wasn’t thinking about the vitaminosis thing even tho you had just told me omg, I just feel a complete night and day difference in my personality when I eat 25-38g fiber, lots of fish for protein and omega 3s.In that case I will just say that you should watch your sodium and magnesium levels if you go any long periods without eating (I skip breakfast for metabolic reasons, so I take flavored electrolyte drinks I make, it’s easy)
YOU NEED POTASSIUM NOBODY IS GETTING ENOUGH POTASSIUM YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY ACTUALLY MEASURE HOW MUCH IS IN YOUR FOOD TRUST ME YOU ARE DEFICIENT EVERYONE IS NOBODY LISTENS TO ME PLS
You can get it in citrate or chloride powder it’s suuuper cheap in bulk you can get a year’s supply for like $20
Incomplete list of supplements that flip me from wanting to laze around to wanting to clean and go running:
-
l-carnitine (good for muscle recovery and vegan diets, especially paired with carnosine, it’s much cheaper in powder than in meat of course)
-
beta alanine
-
betaine
-
citrulline malate (2 things but they come mixed)
-
l-arginine
-
taurine (very good for studying, has a calming and focusing effect)
-
l-theanine (same as above)
Idk what alpha gpc is or does but it also seems to help lol. If this seems like some brain force shit it isnt, you’d be surprised how far ahead I am of those chumps lol. I buy all this shit separately but you can prolly get it if you search “caffeine free preworkout”
I wish you could get tianeptine or racetams etc, come move across the pacific 😉
I am not having more magnesium, I will say that much; I was overtaking it for two years or more.
Wowow I won’t pry but I’m curious what it was in as I wasn’t getting much turns out especially since what I was getting was magnesium oxide which allegedly absorbs inefficiently. I have neglected to buy powder for it so I have just been eating rich foods. Makes me sleep better
Protein fiber potassium and fish oil are like 40%, 50% is constitution e.g. sleep + exercise + posture + stress + lymph drainage + inflammation, 5% is these weird substances i imbibe which hopefully do not contain heavy metals, 5% is unknown. It’s just a baseline thing which makes any further medical treatment more accurate I don’t mean to present myself as a holistic healer. Also you in general want to eat lots of plants because of all their unknown special chemicals we all love plants don’t we folks
Oh shidd
Also, not sure what betaine and beta alanine are for, but I am taking creatine still, just at a lower dosage.
