Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There’s efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn’t be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it’s almost...
Yeah, shits me to tears that people think it’s OK,
I lost 35kgs through diet exercise etc and I felt absolutely amazing at the 30kg loss mark.
Didn’t think I felt bad at 125kg at 6ft tall when I hit 95 I felt amazing. Knees joints life everything easy.
Getting down to 90 on strict diet was hard and life just wasn’t fun anymore. Sure 6pack was cool and all but just no fun. I’m not blessed with those skinny genetics.
Anyone who’s fat and not been skinny in their adult life shouldn’t think they’re healthy and happy because everything is better when you’re actually at a healthy weight.
When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school. I remember almost nothing about it now, other than the guy eventually finds that Fruit of the Loom brand underwear has stretchy enough elastic to make the wedges painless. (This song...
So I’m gonna share a story. In this story I’m a fucking idiot. But I hope that it serves as a warning to someone so they can learn from my dumb mistakes. So I was going out to see some mates the other day in a big state forest near Melbourne....
Yeah back when my mates and I had just turned 19 or so we left the territory to go visit some friends in the blue mountains.
I didn’t realise when we set out that I set googlemaps to walking mode because we had been walking around Melbourne a couple days prior when we set off.
Nothing went wrong for a long time, until we were maybe 1km from where we were going up in the blue mountain’s.
Google took is a down a hiking track in the dark in a Nissan xtrail. We only realised the mistake after getting part way through the track and it became so narrow with a drop off on one side that we couldn’t get out the passenger door safely.
I think leaking military secrets is as good as treason.
Down vote me all you like.
I also recognise it’s a slippery slope that will lead to criminal investigations etc being leaked and punished just as hard to keep a politician or police officer safe.
The difference is the military is here to protect everyone, the police are here to protect those in power.
I know free vpns usually are not good, but right now I am not in a position to pay for a vpn. I found Privado VPN and it doesn’t keep logs and is based in Switzerland. It has a data limit for free users, but do you think its safe for torrenting?
