    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.

    Culture and history should be stronger than whatever laws are on paper in your country. I like to think that God's laws come first, the Family's laws, second, and the government's laws, only third. But a nation with a diluted, atrophying culture must enforce most rules only at the barrel of a gun, using only the government's weak, enacted laws.

    The apparent hypocrisy of promoting individual gun ownership rights but restricting individual abortion rights appears coherent through the lens of your nation's culture and history. If they don't, your parents and grandparents somehow abdicated this duty of theirs, or perhaps some organized bad actors succeeded at covertly infiltrating and destroying your culture.

    Plot the intersection of the natural laws that must be restricted through codification (restricting access to abortion) and man's follies that are being forced upon us as though they were natural (creating fictitious genders, wearing masks, teaching sex to children, legalizing sexual proclivities) to understand how close your culture is to abject failure.
    Could you dumb this down for me? Trying to figure out what you believe. I’ve always believed the government should stay out of our face as much as possible, whether it’s guns, abortion, sexual preferences, drugs, etc.

    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 went through your training log the other day. With admiration I thought to myself, this guy has a hell of a story to tell. I am looking forward to hearing it!

    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.

    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.
