Comment Re:this worked for me (Score 2) 56

Second this unreservedly. I started drinking more water (water at all in fact) and it made a huge difference. Then I increased my physical output (insert whatever you would like to do here) three or four days a week and it was literally the beginning of a new life. At 47 I didn't feel like I was going to make it another five years. Turn 50 soon and I'm in better condition than probably ever. And don't be all scientific on your own ass about it, just do some stuff. Consistently. It'll work.

For motivation finding a group or some kind of external structure can help. It worked for me anyway. I joined a karate dojo because I knew I wouldn't have the ability to just do pushups, situps, run, etc and not get bored out of my mind and end up not doing it. Maybe try it, any martial art you're drawn to or have a good school for nearby. They won't kill you I promise, and may even turn out to be some of the best people you ever meet.

So it's a term that only someone immersed in thinking about slavery would ever normally use or even encounter and recognize. That explains things. People coming at thinking about slavery from the negative side (slavery bad, which I agree with) are getting so wrapped up in it they are getting as warped as the people thinking on it from the other side (white supremacists I suppose.) So the former are now treating the general population as if they were the latter. But we aren't and really just wish both would fuck right off.

They seriously need to check their prices too. I just retired an I3 machine taking only the vid and p/s to the new one, and had a thought about keeping the old one going with a slightly upgraded cpu. Seeing I5's going for only slightly less than the Ryzen 1700X I just went with for my main, I changed my mind quickly. Utterly ridiculous.
