Just do some pushups and buy a pullup bar.

Do squat variations with a backpack and heavy materials inside.

If youve a chair, theres tons of home exercises that open up from there too.

Of course, but this seems to be a issue more so with black woman then man as far as I've noticed.

It definitely is.

A friend of mine literally told me shed be disappointed if I married a white girl.

Im like. Wtf? Lol. I get why people say it. But its presumptive to assume Im doing it because I dont like black women or something.

People trash Korra season 2, but applaud ATLA Book 1 finale.
I like Korra, but those two situations aren't comparable.

People didnt like the random Jinora spirit save shit. But no one cares Aang becomes a spirit fish monster randomly and some chick transcends to become the moon. Pretty comparable.

man if you want to talk about characters who aren't saved by deus ex machina or zero agency, korra is about the least qualified character you could think of

also i don't think aang's resolution with ozai really harms his character. his arc was always about becoming the person that would face him in the first place

Hard disagree. Korra loses practically every single fight with the antagonists, and suffers for it. Excluding the first season, she actually learns from each conflict and tries to implement what she learned in the following season. Korra doesnt get saved by randomness (Excluding season 2). She just actually relies on her allies. Iirc, the only antagonist she beats is Kuvira. Everyone else either flees or is defeated with the help of someone else.

Meanwhile Aang never has to change anything about himself because hes a giant ball of perfection apparently.

If you leave now, youll never be able to go into the Avatar state again!
*Aang leaves anyway, and is immediately able to opt in to Avatar state by pitching a tent mid battle to immediately let go of Katara with little difficulty.*

Aangs allies and past Avatars explain how Ozai has to be killed because there is no other way. Aang ignores all of it and is given the ability to win because he randomly sleeps on a lion turtle who immediately helps him by granting a power never foreshadowed anyway. Aang then proceeds to lose the fight and is carried by Avatar state. So he himself didnt even face him. Such a great arc. Appa had a better arc than Aang.

Aang, despite being all about pacifism, never successfully changes anyone with his words. At all. He never actually has his pacifism challenged in any meaningful way.

Meanwhile Korra gets her Avatar state severed, gets crippled into a wheelchair, and embarrassed constantly for trying to be an Avatar.

I vastly prefer the character who is actually challenged. Personally.

I liked Korra.

Its amusing how people trash Korra but ignore how boring ATLA book 1 was.

People trash Korra season 2, but applaud ATLA Book 1 finale.

Its weird shit.

I personally preferred Korra as the MC compared to Aang too. But I prefer characters actually having to change to win conflicts. Not just get saved by a left field turtle.

ATLA had wayyyy better side characters though. Team Avatar in Korra was undeveloped and the love triangle shit was abysmal.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you have very little diversity in accounts, age of credit will tank you paying something old off.

If youve only had two things on your credit at all, its hard to gauge how financially responsible you are. You never had to even juggle anything.

Once youre at 740, nothing else really changes. Its credit history where paying things off will count.

The score is ultimately meaningless at your level.

No, not necessarily.

The idea that people of a specific ethnicity are more likely to support businesses owned by people of their own race isn't any form of racism. The idea that they wouldn't go to a business owned by someone of another/a particular race because it's owned by that particular race however is racism.

Like (especially recently) people have been saying support Black-owned businesses, but it's not saying "fuck non-black owned businesses", just that we need to help pull our own up.
It's a thin line but it makes a difference.

But thats whats happening on the production end. For obvious reasons, black people dont have many ways to actually create the supplies needed for their products. So they have to go manufacturers to get it. Which are predominantly Korean owned. But these same manufacturers that work with Korean businesses were and maybe are less likely to work with black owned businesses.

To my knowledge, white people havent tried too hard to break into the same market. So Im unsure if its specifically skeptical of black people or a Korean pride, admittedly. So Im willing to say it might not match the exact narrative this topic is shooting for. But still.

That has nothing to do with the post you quoted.

That's not racism at all, and sorta seems a bit insensitive.

Yes it is. Historically, Koreans in the US have abused black Americans status and needs to gain this monopoly they have currently. They used the Americas system to do it.

If thats not systemic, then maybe Im unclear what systemic racism is.

Then there's systemic racism, where the literal system of the country is against you. Look at the videos of black men accosted by cops simply for 'looking suspicious' in certain neighborhoods. Nowhere in America will you ever have any kind of issue with authority simply for being white.

Kinda like Koreans and their monopoly of beauty supply stores, which prevents black owners from successfully having business? Since Korean manufacturers are less likely to help them?

---

This topic fails because it keeps going with the black v white narrative.

Theres racism amongst PoC. Eastern Asians are racist against the dark skin Asians. Black people are racist against dark skinned black people. Dunno about Hispanic.

The theory immediately falls apart.

When you give someone special treatment, dont be shocked people get upset about it. Especially a group seen as villains for many people.

Itd be like if politicians get discounts. Sure, its the business discretion. But its also free for people to comment on it.

The issue is that your post is random.

No one in the topic cares she lost control. They care she attacked him.

So you posting that seems like youre defending abuse.

If I state:

Ive been poor all my life, and I never get to experience material things. I planned to return the stores watch, I just didnt have the money to pay for it at the time I took it!

You cannot ignore the actual bad part (stealing), quote the first sentence, and say

This is normal. People acting like theyve never been poor is whack. Im not saying its right to steal, but let he without sin cast the first stone.

Ironically, you end up being the one not posting in context.

No, hes right. Trans discussion is annoying because everyone is immediately defensive, always dismissive if the point discussed isnt 100% pro-trans no matter the context, and devolves into straw manning.

A kid cant even get a tattoo that they dont regret a year later. Surely kids transitioning isnt so black and white as people think.

So are you this opposed to children seeing psychiatrists for other reasons? Or going through a long medical process that might culminate in surgery? Are children making random decisions alone and being humored in ALL situations, or just this one? Should be more accepting if people aren't "100% black/white in their opinions" and suggest that maybe there is something wrong with their biology?

Why are we still pretending transition is a 4 year old or their parents telling someone the kid held a doll, and then a penis being cut off?

Everyone wants to make gender issues these weird situations in no way comparable to other medical problems or other bigotries, yet no one can rationalize it beyond "But I disagree with this one".

This is the post that asked me a question. I answered this:

cuttin_in_farm posted...

I disagree with letting all children choose to make any surgical changes that are permanent without sufficient prepping.

I dont work in extremes. A portion of transgender children turn out okay. Thats fine.

But to my understanding, theres still a lot that have issues of remorse after transitioning. Just like a kid getting plastic surgery (I know transgender surgery isnt cosmetic, chill the fuck out), or in my example tattoos. Kids can go years thinking something that will change once theyre older.

In an attempt to be as permitting as possible, were creating a new problem for youths. Just on the post-transition end instead of pre-transition.

Where the hell do you see Well, lets make transitioning a slower process

Yall can fuck off. Im not letting yall put words in my mouth because yall cant read. Yall got the wrong one.
