Yeah, that’s definitely the big problem with smoking. James Dean had a solution, but he died too young.

It is possible that in earlier times frequently smoking tobacco may have provided prophylactic protection against certain pathogens.
Over the long term, the negative health consequences of frequent smoking are very clear and outweigh any potential prophylactic effects for most of the global population.
Housing and land speculation in a financially healthy nation must be restricted to individuals and families; Banks, hedge funds, publicly traded companies, multinational organizations, foreign governments and real estate conglomerates will quickly destroy the financial health and enslave the people of any nation where they are allowed to speculate on land prices.
Only a nation committed to self-destruction will allow international financial interests to become the nation's landlords.
What happens if or when Chinese grain reserves reach full capacity and their buying suddenly slows?
I don't mean to be flippant but "A Country Boy Can Survive." Literally. Create barriers between them and you. If you are in a city get out. Soon. I'm in a city but it's not much of one. Exits are plentiful and I have a long term plan to get even further away from "civilization." (Cuz it isn't very civil lately.) You create barriers between them and you by being self sufficient and just generally staying out of 'that shit'. The government ought to be mostly irrelevant in your life. Twitter (insert social media platform de jour) ought to be irrelevant in your life.
People think the opposite of love is hate- it's not. Doling something out to them means that you still feel a way for them. Your goal is apathy at this point. We can't save them. They won't hear us. They won't hear us on strength training just like they won't hear us on masks or anything else. You have to just walk away. The dynamics have shifted and we're back to being rebels except the crown is now DC. I think we're gonna have to live with that for now. If we persist, as the original rebels did, we'll win. Because how these fuckers are acting isn't sustainable.
Yes, I've done everything I can to live free and strong, but these fuckers just keep pissing me off more and more every day. I can unplug and live a nice life out here in the woods, but I feel like there's more to uphold than just personal freedom.
Maybe I'm wrong. Still trying to figure it out.

I minor symptoms and felt like it might roll into being sick on Christmas morning.
No different that just catching a cold.
By mid day I was fine and lifted and did hill sprints.
The following week I got an antibody test (out of curiosity) and my positive blew out the max of the range.
I had done an antibody test a month prior and it was below the measurable threshold.
Why didn’t I just get a PCR test?
They’re bullshit. Any scientist knows.
Just give me the facts no embellishments.
He also drove too fast.
Tell me what I can expect, but consider that I am an old guy I would probably kill myself with exhaustion.
Your probably right Mark, but I have been over my head numerous times, once when I got married, and when I took on the Starting Strength program, but I am still here circulating and because of you I finish strong.
