fakes a stick throw. Pissed myself over that.

Most provincial governments in Canada are too trying to choke off social medicine (i.e. Canadian health care system) so corporates can come in and do a “better job”. Conservatives are pretty blatant about it.

Arnold Shwarzenegger had a super motivating post on reddit(spits) to a guy who felt similar to this fellow.

I lift. I’ve lifted for years. Then I stopped Then I got really fat. I KNEW what it was going to take. 5+ years later. 100lbs body fat lost and 18lbs of muscle added later (no juice) and I’m older, but ripped. All I can think when I see people running, lifting, walking, whatever - with that ‘look’ like you know they are just trying to shed that that fat jacket - is “Come on! You can do this!” I know the discipline that takes! Young, mouthy douchebags at the gym with raging metabolisms that keep them cut, even after eating garbage all week, are just the next group of fat, old people trying to stay healthy and happy.

I helped a guy at the gym get into a solid 5x5 routine once, barely thought about it. Just a regular to chat to sometimes. You could have used this guy to clean a chimney. He got ripped up. Not bulk, but shredded and built it turns out. Few years later, at a different gym now, a guy comes up to me (him - I’d forgotten his face) and tells me what a difference it made for him and how him and 3 buddies all took what I showed him and were all still lifting. Thanked me, told me what a difference my advice made (diet too). Frankly, it was the BEST motherfucking day I ever had at the gym! I felt like my hero, Arnold.

Making fun of others at a gym is Imo, grounds for getting tossed out. Snickering included. Funny how they don’t seem to last at the gym anyway…

Headlines: “Trump elected President”.

I applied in Canada to a Law Enforcement program with a past-secondary institution.

I was told by a VERY senior member of the force (family friend) that I was simply too smart for the rank and file and was consequently turned down. He said “…they don’t want people who will think for themselves and question their orders. The whole point is to have force who will follow the rules without question. You don’t fit that mold”. The “rules” in this case is really just the police culture, and status quo.

The man who told me this, rose to Police Chief of a Major Canadian city from uniformed officer. Retired now.

I believe him.

Dumb soldiers who apply force when told. That’s what they want, …mostly.

At the risk of coming off like I’m criticizing, wasn’t I told to substitute my choices of fats, with margarine, and low-fat alternatives that were instead laden with other problems ? Oh, and the sugar alternatives like aspartame, and Splenda?

Forgive my skepticism. But I’m much healthier after a decade of going back to butter, sugar, and less processed foods? My medical chart is all I need for confirmation of my choices.

Encouraging news though.

You GO, girls!

The free world admires your efforts!

Jewish ghettos. Just like Hitler did.

Next? “They’re ALL Hamas. Kill em all!”

Fucking disgusting.

Any soldier of worth I’ve ever known, …any true soldier, wouldn’t advertise their profession as such.

Wannabe.

Nothing more.

The 1% truly think they are going to sit it out underground in their billion dollar bolt-holes/bunkers. It’s like thinking you’ll survive the tsunami by standing on a chair.

Pair this with the Atlantic Ocean temperatures this year and you can anticipate an enormous, global shortage of food.

How does a city if 1 Million, or more, feed itself when all surrounding regions can’t grow food?

We’re fucked, so fucked.
