Remember that when everything is absolutely shit it is much easier for things to improve. Keep trust in that and for fucks sake take one step forward.
I’ve started to appreciate myself a “little bit” more in the mirror. Not saying I’ve started noticing narcissistic tendencies. But I’m allowing it as I’m in the best shape of my life. Have I kissed my biceps goodnight? Y’all know I have.
If it wasn’t for the community I would have eaten the onion
Wario? Or whatever the name is of “evil” one
You are on point. The more you consume the more you pay in sales tax. Another benefit of consumption taxes is that they are harder to circumvent.
But taxes (in my opinion) is not just to fund communal services such as education, infrastructure and healthcare. They are also an instrument for redistribution of wealth. For that goal having different tax levels on the sale of different gods are necessary, to make sure that everyday items is less of a burden. In a similar vein sales tax can be used to alter consumption patterns. For example away from sodas, towards organic produce, smaller cars.
Sales tax is great! Income tax not so much.
Sales tax can be made, and is made, “progressive” by having different tax on different goods. By putting the tax on basic goods (ex food, used smaller cars etc) lower it becomes relatively cheaper to exist. But that yacht can be taxed to high heavens. Further can ownership be taxed, and be made progressive. Big car equals higher car ownership tax. Huge villa? Huuuge property tax. Stocks, funds and other savings easy to tax on value at a certain date.
But I agree, there is little talk about how taxes should be levied (income, consumption, ownership etc). Just amounts.
My go to is dynamic exercises that forced you to stabilise the core. Kettle bell swings (including one handed variants), halos, around-the-world, atlas swings etc. Thus combined with mobility drills from the hip (where many back muscles start) and up takes for me care of any after work pain.
Not diminishing the effects of stronger back muscles but the stretch and decompression of the spine in the hang part does it’s part. I love that bit, just hanging there getting stretched from arms to arse.
It really is! Since summer-ish been doing the negatives (eccentric?) of the pullups inbetween other things. At one point I started seeing if I could get up as well. Half. Then one. Did that every now and then as a bit of checking in to see what progress I’ve been doing.
Can’t wait for tomorrow after spinning to see if it was a fluke or not.
Still decent bands out there? Oh bloody gosh there are! Let me just give you two, if not we’ll be here until dawn. There is Icelandic Misþyrming and Finnish Havukruunu. Both leaning a little bit into more atmospheric soundscapes rather than the “pure” low-fi dissonance black metal is known for. Their whole libraries are worth listening to and searches gives you quality starting points.
More likely while the public squabble takes our attention those behind the scenes will calmly remake everything to their design. While we notice nothing but the squabble…
Even a broken clock is right twice a day…
Time to blockade St Petersburg? And Kaliningrad.
On holiday since about an hour. Currently in bed eating Jaffa cakes. Effort level achieved!
Yet another opinion. Everything published goes into public domain, copyright only gives commercial (and public?) distribution rights
Violence is always an answer to violence. I find it “amusing” when systematic bureaucratic and capitalistic violence on the common folk is bushed under the carpet to not be seen as violence. It is violence and when the common folk have no other recourse we too will respond with violence. As to not have violence made upon us.
E: All of the above
Rejection of civilization’s cleanliness and order. Embracement of unrulyness, decay and clutter.
Oh may the twat fuck off
